As soon as our lawmakers stop being so scared about being sued even after the laws that allowed them to be sued for doing their job have been stricken from the books... Because radio pundits are saying Clause 24 is illegal and Clause 21 still stands. And we all know what the historical revisionists in the Commerce Party will do when they get back their power. So a tax is a hard sell for even the most progressive of our Assembly. An executive order might need to be signed. Ms. Trajan will just add that lawsuit to the pile and let the superfirm she has on retainer handle it.

Our welfare programs and universal health care system are currently running on the money they get from a GoFundMe page. //sigh

The Westphalian Post 9/25/19

by The westphalian post

GOOD MORNING WESTPHALIA!

Thoughts Of The People

Q: The westphalian post, as the newspaper nation of Westfalen Westphalia, and a handsome devil, what are your thoughts on the region and its affairs?
A:
The Westphalian Post:"I believe this moment in Westphalian history is certainly interesting, as we are headed into the fall. One of our allies has fallen and disbanded, NWE seems to be doing its own thing, and publication has been delayed thanks to many of my reporters having been kidnapped by the infamous 'Yang Gang'. Overall, I believe we should focus more on ourselves and building back up our culture."

A Political Awakening

In the last week, after talks of the possibility, Westfalen Westphalia's first officially recognized political party has been created. Named the 'White-Mane Royalist Party', the political party created by Ecotopia2 wasted no time in setting down the issues it stands with. The party aligns itself with the Monarchist ideology, with the belief that we should empower the role of Emperor, stick by traditional Westphalian values, and strengthen the culture of Westfalen Westphalia. One proposal given in the party's dispatch (nation=ecotopia2/detail=factbook/id=1257487) mentions how the party wants to create a "museum" of arts in the region, filled with works from the regions residents, in order to attract new ones from outside our borders. The party currently has three members (Ecotopia2, The evile republic, and Flame1). When asked how he feels about the creation of the White-Mane Royalist Party, Ecotopia2 replied that he was "..glad that slowly, but surely, Westfalen Westphalia is moving towards becoming more politically proactive region. We White-Manes are fortunate to have the requirements, and are proud patriots of this great region".
Already, there is talk of perhaps more political parties on the way, with one example being the proposition of creating a 'Cheesecake Party', to which the Emperor Nuer-texias would be welcome to join, according to the nation Wandering Wallabies on discord. Whether this will prove to truly be a revolutionary moment in recent Westphalian history is yet to be seen. This is The westphalian post, out.

The Emperor, Missing?

The Westphalian Emperor Nuer-texias has not been seen that much, only popping out occasionally with a greeting or remark to the region, before returning to hibernation. When we sent the Emperor questions for the interview we were arranging with his majesty, we have not heard from him since, which is indeed very peculiar. Since that point, Nuer-texias has not been seen in public.
This is not the first instance of a missing person's case in Westfalen Westphalia. For example, most of the staff being kidnapped last week, reportedly by the 'Yang Gang', which has delayed our reporting on the region for quite a while. Then there's the case of Eclandia, a former member of The Council Of Elders, who after missing for a month finally showed up last weekend deceased, lacking 4 fingers, as well as a head. Nobody knows if the 'Yang Gang' was behind this tragedy or not, though they are a suspect. Is it possible even, that our very own Emperor Nuer-texias has been kidnapped, too? Will he reply to our messages?? Will Flame1 be the next Goku?
Unfortunately, we can only speculate, and pray for those lost to return to us. This is The westphalian post, out.

Rest In Peace

Over the weekend, Hulldom, founder of the region The Republican Antilles, announced that the region, a known ally of Westfalen Westphalia, will soon be demolished. Proceeding to do so officially on Wednesday of this week, the reason behind this comes from the inactivity of the region, and the failure to attract new nations into its borders. Deciding enough was enough, Hulldom this week finally decided that it was time to pull the plug.
Unfortunately, because the region's discord was deleted, The westphalian post was unable to find a direct quote announcing the decision. In response to this news, many regions, including Westfalen Westphalia offered refuge to citizens of The Republican Antilles, who will inevitably be kicked our before the region itself shuts down.

I seem to be falling short in the cheese production sector.

Wonder if head cheese would count? :)

I only won the Bronze today. Guess i'll have to work harder to be avoided...

Maybe if I stopped bathing and ate more onions... :)

Nothing to say today.
My folks are all too drugged to think. :)
Top 10 but not the top 5.

If you are gonna gorge on onions, please do it far away from our borders. With the communists  on our borders already we dont need the stench of onions giving our citizens even more of a headache.

After eating the onions, we wouldn't need weapons to defeat the Communists.
We will only need to exhale. :)

Well. That sure could come in handy. I'll have to think about what will look worse in an election: stinky Bettisian onion breath or mystery communists blocking trade.

Our adjustments to our shipping routes have proven an effective alternative to the border territories, but much of the border's been liberated at this point. However, that status is always in flux. It's best to just use the shipping lanes to trade with Free Madrocea. That whole province is a mess right now.

Until our submarines start targeting Lemmingtopian, Capitalist Madrocean, and Bettisian cargo ships...

For some reason I'm picturing your leader in the scene where Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg is selling that omnigun to those alien mercenaries in The Fifth Element.

"Flamethrower!" *grins at camera* "My favorite..."

RIP (and come back soon) Krogan :(

Tarligean didn't cease to exist. They're just hiding in the forests again. I guess they're finally taking the communist threat they accidentally created seriously now...

Ah yes. the ZF-1. A best seller.

It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it's even easier.

It's official. The votes have been tallied.

Bettisia is the LARGEST manufacturing Sector in Atlantis.

Well I know all of Atlantis will be surprised to find that Madrocea and I are the two LEAST likely to send any type of foreign aid to others.

Now, that being said, we will happily take any funds you wish to send US!!! :)

I spend a lot on foreign aid; especially in supporting the luxury goods export industry.
