Pushes for the delegation of power to the provinces of Osterheide have recently surfaced, spearheaded by the Royalist and Individual Unity parties. Reforms for the parliament proposed also involves electing by province, not by party.

Parliament has consented to multiple government reforms, including the delegation of power to five Counts and 13 Viscounts, the new position of Oberste to rule over the Counts ans Viscounts and the moving of the Cato fortress monastery to the new province of Meigen. Pontiff Albus of Martyris will be the Viscount of Meigen and the church will be given a donation due to the setback.

Quick reminder for Martyris, Straona, Adersi, Bombacio, Airol, Ariblanca and Isla De Militarias to endorse New Nationale Einheit.

We need to begin a council vote with all council members on if Greater jes new islands shall be unbanned on the forums, discord, and here on NationStates.

As far as I'm concerned, personally, I'm all for unbanned Jesia, as I believe he, hopefully, understands the severity of his actions-- that pushing things too far past comedic effect does have consequences. If any of you disagree with me, then I'm willing to go down to placing a Probation Period on Jesia, for up to a month or so. During this Probation Period time, if you councilmen agree to it, Jesia cannot be in violation with the Novus Lucidum Constitution and its rules. If a violation does occur, we will all reconsider the ban process for Jesia.

Once again, my vote, right now, is to ALLOW Jesia to return to Novus Lucidum.

Odinburgh and Airol

Every nation may vote on the poll to unban Greater jes new islands here:

Odinburgh and Airol

In a parliament lead revolt against Balor Ali, the new leader, the parties have practically kicked him out of office. Soon after this, the army stepped into power, disbanding parliament. A new system of government is soon to be formed. This has lead to outcry in the streets which has been promptly put down.

Uncertainty awaits. What will happen? For now, the military awaits to find a new replacement leader.

Airol

The government of Scalesburg has approved of an increased military spending. Rumors have spread that leaders in the inner circle have nearly demanded for more power.

Order and Progress!

New Nationale Einheit, Airol, and Ariblanca

Wahid Afzal sat in his living room, listening outside as armed soldiers filled the streets. The curtains were shut closed; he was declared the most likely successor within the high ranks and his plans for inauguration as leader were soon. In his room, he typed into his typewriter the slow finishing touches to his manifesto. He had been writing for maybe a year on it, and had sensed within the month the presumed chaos that was bound to arise over Balor Ali.

His manifesto theory is simple: a rejection of communism and capitalism. The name of the manifesto? "The Golden Land", a manifesto on the ideas of democracy, economics, etc.

OOC: I'll be making a practical summary of it within a google doc. Stay tuned.

Opinion Article
Should elections be the norm?
By La Xinga, writer of NationStates News


Kuriko is not even done his/her first year as Secretary-General, yet it feels like the next election is arriving shortly. Although, well, it's not. Now, Kuriko and Running Mate The Salaxalans promised to fight fascists, and with Kuriko returning to a Defender after HumanSanity became delegate of XKI, it seems ever more likely. Kuriko has promised much more stuff, and a lot of them have already become true with only 1/8 of Kuriko's term passing.

Now onto the juicy stuff. In 2016, Caelapes won the election, and in 2020 Kuriko won. The next election will most likely be in 2024. But do we really need to wait till 2024? Should we, instead, add a "congress/parliament" with a representative from each region, with midterm elections? Or maybe political parties, or just the ability to impeach Kuriko for existing?

The pros for this is simple: Fun. Nations that are not new to the game will probably have a lot of fun with the whole political stuff. Nations new to the game may also be more interested in the game and want to stick around. The people having fun the most will be the politicians and the ROs, the main dudes at the head of these stuff. It will also attack the thought that NS really doesn't have much stuff to do. You will ALWAYS have something to do.

The cons, well, are a bit more complex. First of all, it will make the admins do quite a lot of work. Don't forget the Admins are people, not bots.................we think.

Second, although it may make new nations more interested in the game and want to stick around, it may also make new nations extremely confused, and just decide not to log back in. Three, this can allow regions to continue making themselves the point of the game, and four, NationStates is not an electoral game, it's a game to create a nation.

What do you think? Should we do this? That's up for you to decide for yourself.


Raxulan Empire Closed Embassies with Farkasfalka

After some forum conversation, the Administration of Raxulan Empire had decided to close embassies with Farkasfalka. We contacted their Soveriegn to know more about the issue. "We orginally opened embassies with them due to their right wing association (Conservative/Libertarian) and out of hopes that they would be useful to us in our fight against Communism, however the alliance we had (if you can call it that) did not produce very profitable results and seemed to carry more baggage then what it was worth, hence we are closing our embassies with them", said Rost dreadnorramus.


Layem Imposes Travel Ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy

Recently the region of Confederacy of Layem had imposed a travel ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy. We talked with Democracy alliance founder to know more about the the issue. "I was attempting to reform things in Layem with new laws, and was planning to do it after the election. Someone said I was wanting to do this, and I got banned from the region. I got vocal about this real fast, exposing Layem's lies and authoritarianism. Because I was tarnishing their reputation, they banned travel to my new region. As a side effect, Layem was removed from the United Regions Alliance and the founder was put onto a watchlist. These were not my actions, however, my vocalism may have raised awareness to these topics. I have attempted to violently seize power in Layem in early June. They use it against me, although I am ashamed of it and want to leave it in the past. Just telling you this because they may target you. You now have heard both sides of the story. Be careful when talking to the founder; he can turn into a raving jerk sometimes."

Currently, no communication was made possible with the other end.


MoFA Elections in Confederacy of Layem

The region of Layem is soon going to hold its Ministry of Foreign Affairs elections. We talked with Randolphina, one of the candidates, about their election manifesto. "Currently Layem faces really "nothing" in the foreign affairs sphere. We only are close to 1-2 regions and are currently looking to expand and become closer with more regions. I've promised a 'one month plan' in my dispatch if you are interested to take a look. I plan on making Layem more 'inter-regional' friendly", said Randolphina.


Augustin Alliance Emerged as N-Day Champion

Augustin Alliance has emerged as the N-Day champion, pushing all other factions below it. Last year's winners, Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was the most targetted faction this year, finishing in last place with a world record-breaking amount of radiation (821,369). Ba Sing Se completed at the third place with 0 radiation. An Alliance of Potatoes deserves appreciation, for not only having the most number of nations, but also for fighting back to second place. The Potatoes managed to upgrade their score from -65k to 284k, within a few hours.

Overall, throughout the N-Day, nuclear war was intense among the first few regions, with Horsemen of Apocalypse dominating the scoreboard in the initial hours. More information can be found here.


Political Scale of NationStates

In a recent poll, we asked people what do they think of the general political-leaning of NationStates. Most of the people, believe that a specific portion of nationstates is left-leaning, while a fair amount of people voted to express their opinion, that most of the nationstates is left-leaning.

Well you have to go by what your school says.

Is the rp in discord now or is it just stalled on the forums for a bit.

Does the money I have in our regions official bank count to the budget at all?

Straona wrote:Also Scalesburg

Honestly, I personally want to get rid of the Bank altogether. It has been an utter clutter and there were no better alternatives.

Part of the reason I made the Public Records is so the Minister of Economics (who would be running the bank), me, was able to keep track of everyone's purchases much more easily. Yes, doing it manually can get a little tedious, but there's no way I'm going to deal with software issues on top of that (the Bank).

The roleplay will be on here, the forums, and on the Discord-- just like last time. Right now, it's (mostly) stalled because I'm finishing up some touches to bring the roleplay to life. The War System is almost fleshed out and I think you all will be excited with the results.

But, to answer your question, none of the money in the bank account counts towards your "Budget" at all. Every month, on the 1st, I will update every nation's budget (that is on the map) with the exact number shown in Average Income on that day.

Puppets for N-Day. Already asked that question.

Greater jes new islands has been voted, by Council, to be unbanned with a probation period.

Likely we will be locking down the region during Z day. I will be monitoring who comes to our region till then.

Ah yes, the vague probation period? What is it do? How long is it? Since this probation period wasn't determined by the council, I see fit that as Minister of Civil affairs I will determine what it is.

Everyone keeps saying probation even though it's vague and undefined. Say it's watching Jesia in case he does anything unconstitutional, we'll all be doing that anyway.

Probation period will last two weeks to October 17 Saturday. An extension must be voted upon and its length if needed. By the way I consider probation periods as short around 1 to 2 weeks max.

I'm questioning what it even means, not how long it'll last.

How are you to determine what this is? As Civil Minister, it is my jurisdiction to settle OOC disputes such as this.

Jesia's probation period will last 2 weeks, until October 17. As Odinburgh has said, a vote may be casted to extend this period.

Jesia shall remain unbanned if he doesn't violate anymore Constitutional rules. That's the point of a probation.
