Fellow citizens,

The election is underway. Information and ballots can be found by citizens in their Telegrams. A regional poll is also underway to determine who shall be the Primary Consul for the first month of the new term.

Idea for an enhanced warp/alcubierre drive: First, the vessel (Presumably an Arca) would use a modification of their spaghettification cannon to "stretch" the black hole out through the weapon's "barrel" as a reverse funnel rather than a beam of gravity. Although that alone would be an effective way to project a wormhole entrance, it would be an incredibly minute aperture. Expanding the aperture isn't really possible, so an alternative is needed to cheat it's limitation.
My idea is simple, at this point a ship would "fold itself" inside of higher dimensions prior to entering. Since the regions are so small, however, there'd be a need to "shield" the vessel during transit from the limitations of said dimensions. While simple particles (Quarks and the like) are allowed, composite particles like our baryonic atoms would experience violent reactions as they remain in contact with it's space. That's bad enough, but the "kick-back" of such a reaction taking place on the hull would act like a terrible form of bow shock by knocking the vessel out of the higher dimensions with quite a bit of torsion stress. If you want to keep your ship whole and crew from being pancakes on the bulkhead, the use of a Staged Particle Generation Weapon would produce a frontal arc of degenerate quark matter that the Alcubierre drive could make into a half-bubble, and the "flip" of the ship as it folds into the higher dimensions would provide an effective reverse to the half-bubble as well, and since the Alcub-Drive moves the space around you rather than moving you, the bubble would be "pulled" along with the ship. So long as you manage to avoid any hungry lifeforms (hot quark matter would be like a hotpocket rocketing through space), you should be fine. Now, there's just a need to figure out how to fold the ship :P

That the region Commonwealth of Free Nations was originally created with the intentions of staging a coup and convincing our comrades from NGA to leave Silver Bloods region. Forgot who created the original founder, but they ended up handing it over to Silver Blood last i knew.

To all Americans: Happy Independence Day!

Hello everyone!

First off, I see this region is running an election for the first time in a very long time. I'm happy to see that! May the best candidates win!

Second, Happy Independence Day to the Americans of this region! This is normally when I'd tell you the festivities the American engines have planned for this year, but those had to be canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. Instead, the American engines will be meeting virtually on Zoom. Despite everything going on, I expect it'll be a great time!

Good Morning from the Federation!

I will start by saying 'thank you' to all the travelers who were patient with us as we hosted the ceremonies a few days ago. The borders are open once again.

Over in our captiol city, we have begun preparations to swear in our new leader. Zacia Milikova will take the proverbial throne with majority support from both the populace and the Kremlin. Josef Reznov, the current leader, made the decision yesterday. "In the spirit of diversity, we have decided to end the string of male leaders that have been at the front of our nation for decades. As we embrace a new species and a new style of thinking, it would only make sense to instill a leader who will continue to follow the new path." -(Taken from an earlier speech). We will work on updating our factbooks and seeing to our international relations.

Military officials in the Kremlin have also put the Armed Forces on standby as they discuss the possibility of another conflict in the near future.

That is all the news we have at this time. This is RSNN signing off.

(Anthem plays)

Congratulations to Ms. Milikova! We wish her all the best, and we expect she'll be just as competent as the leaders who came before her. If not more so!

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans!

I think the original founder you mentioned was Controlled Interests. But I could be wrong.

Alright, I've decided to specialize the Fleets a little. The Clandestine Fleet is going to get service from the Nyx Hadronic task-group, and their purpose is going to include developing Fast Strike Groups (Bellerophon, Garuda, Arca) and fielding more advanced tech. The Typhon is going to be more indicative of the Expeditionary Fleet, where their ships are older and less advanced, but backed up by heavily armed, heavily armoured "System Control Ships" that are buried under slabs of armour and linked to their Drone Escort.
TL;DR The Clandestine Fleet is cunning but brutal while the Expeditionary Fleet is brutal but cunning :P

Added note. It's getting a six-engine mount using *biggly* icosane engines with tungsten doping. The four outside mounts will also contain the total Fission-Fusion-Liner Implosion system, but it'll have to compensate for the lack of even Psuedo Shields. It has to get by with the cloud of material generated by those FFLIs. It's opaque to lasers and EM Frequencies, but you can still drill through it with a proper pulse laser. Typhon will have 16 such Phazite Burst Arrays since it's three times as fat as a Bellerophon ;;;;p

Fellow Citizens

Here are the results of the election to the Supreme Court. Winners are noted in bold.

Jaslandia - 9
Unfallious - 8
Penguania and Antarctica - 7
Au minbo - 6

Therefore, in order of seniority, Unfallious, Penguania and Antarctica and Jaslandia will all remain on the Supreme Court. 10 of 23 citizens voted, for a turnout of 43%.

The results of the Consular Arrangement poll were in favor of Mercunova over Lavan Tiri by eight citizen votes to one. Mercunova will be Primary Consul for the first month of the term.

As mentioned before, Bearlong has been acclaimed and will continue as Speaker of Parliament, and Lex Caledonia has been acclaimed and will continue as Chief Constable.

In accordance with Article 3, Section II of the Constitution, the next election of a Speaker will take place between 1-4 September. The next general election for all offices will take place between 1-4 November.

In compliance with Article 4, Section VIII of the Constitution, in coming days a referendum will be held regarding Consular term limits.

This notice shall serve as formal certification and notification to the region as to the results of the July 2020 Election by election commissioners Mercunova, Consul, and Jaslandia, Supreme Court Justice.

As you wish, Sire.

Refinement: All Kalaronian Vessels are equipped with StarDrives capable of folding space (Alcub-Drives) but the use of a Reciprocal Warp StarDrive is needed if you want to have a genuinely quick trip. The folded ship has an easier time being shunted deeper into the higher dimensions (to depths that are actually dangerous without the Staged Particle Generation system to create the "simple quark shield" around the ship that stops it from getting recoiled out of it at massive speeds (like a band-saw ejecting wood that isn't secured when it's fed into it)). It still needs the Projected Singularity though.

Congrats to all the winners of the election! I'm sure this'll be a great term!

Also, I'm pleased to publicly announce that the well-tank engine Sonny has joined Toby's Branch Line. Read all about him here:

Basic Information
Route: Ulfstead to Bluff’s Cove
Sheds: Arlesdale End Shed, Ulfstead Sheds, Anopha Quarry Sheds
Engines: Toby, Laura, Sonny, Bertram (part-time), Mavis (on occasion), Thomas (on occasion), Percy (on occasion), Skarloey (on occasion), Rheneas (on occasion), Bowler (formerly)
Rolling stock and other vehicles: Henrietta, Elsie, Victoria, Annie (on occasion), Clarabel (on occasion), Terrence the Tractor (on occasion)

One of the newer branch lines on the Island of Sodor, Toby’s Branch Line (named after Sodor Railways’ #7 engine Toby the Tram Engine) is a countryside route that connects the mountain village of Ulfstead to the beautiful beach at Bluff’s Cove. The line calls at, from east to west: Ulfstead, Arlesdale End, Lower Arlesburgh, Tidmouth Bay, and Bluff’s Cove. At Arlesdale End, Toby’s Branch Line connects to Thomas’ Branch Line; at Bluff’s Cove, Toby’s Branch Line connects to the Little Western line (also known as Duck’s Branch Line). Tidmouth Bay Castle, Ulfstead Dam, Ulfstead Waterfall, and the old Sodor Gold Company mine are also located along the branch line. Toby’s Branch Line is popular among visitors for its scenic countryside views, its historic sites (particularly around Ulfstead), and its easy access to the beach at Bluff’s Cove. Politically, the line is split between Ulfstead Province and Western Province.

Construction of the branch line began in 1980, and it was originally envisioned as an extension of Thomas’ Branch Line that would go from Anopha Quarry to Ulfstead. However, the terrain for the proposed route proved unstable and generally unsuitable for rail lines, necessitating a longer route that went by Arlesdale End. By request of the local community, a station was built at Arlesdale End in addition to Ulfstead. By 1981, the line was completed, connecting Arlesdale End and Ulfstead to Thomas’ Branch Line. The next year, a further extension was completed, connecting Arlesdale End to Lower Arlesburgh. These three stations were served by Thomas, Percy, and Toby as part of Thomas’ Branch Line, although of the three of them, Toby worked on the line most often. Toby soon became a popular figure in the local communities along the branch line, although Thomas and Percy were also well-liked; the good reputation of the three engines was cemented in the winter of 1990, when the three engines, together with Terrence the Tractor and Harold the Helicopter, brought food and helped clear the snow after the village of Ulfstead was snowed in around Christmastime. As a show of thanks, the villagers of Ulfstead repainted and decorated Tidmouth Sheds.

In 1996, as a reward for Toby’s years of service on both the extension and the rest of Thomas’ Branch Line, Toby was formally given the Ulfstead-Lower Arlesburgh route as his own branch line, which appropriately became known as Toby’s Branch Line. Toby took up full-time work on the branch line the next year, and though Toby still helps out on Thomas’ Branch Line and other parts of the railway, Toby’s home is on his own branch line.

In 1997, while exploring an old tramway (see the Tidmouth Bay and Arlesdale Tramway) with Sir Topham Hatt and Hatt’s grandchildren, Toby discovered Tidmouth Bay Castle and the old Sodor Gold Company mine. While on guard at the latter location, Toby met Bertram the ‘Old Warrior’, a narrow gauge engine who once worked at the mine alongside the other engines of the Mid-Sodor Railway. While Tidmouth Bay became a performing arts venue and station along Toby’s Branch Line, the old mine became a fairground and historical site. As for Bertram, his home is now on the Skarloey Railway, but during the tourist season he returns to work at the old mine to give tours to visitors, with Skarloey and/or Rheneas also being brought from the Skarloey Railway to help if the mine is particularly busy. In 2003, Toby’s Branch Line was extended from Tidmouth Bay to Bluff’s Cove on the Little Western, giving Toby’s Branch Line its current route.

As time went on, and freight and especially passenger traffic increased on the line, it became apparent Toby needed help on his branch line. Mavis, Thomas, and Percy helped out on the branch line as much as they could, and they still help out to this day, but Sir Topham Hatt realized a full-time engine was needed. In 2006, Hatt purchased a LSWR M7 class tank engine named Laura as a passenger engine for the branch line. Though Laura is a kind and cheerful engine, she is also quite witty, and is known for her sarcastic and snarky mocking of the bigger engines. Laura soon became friends with Toby, Thomas, Percy, and Mavis, though Laura conversely developed a dislike toward Daisy the Diesel Railcar, and to this day the two have a rocky relationship. Still, for many years, Toby and Laura worked harmoniously together, Laura taking most of the passengers, and Toby taking the freight and a few passengers and workmen.

However, as Toby had to do more work on Thomas’ Branch Line and at Anopha Quarry, Sir Topham Hatt realized a new freight engine was needed to help while Toby was busy. In 2014, after a long period of searching and haggling, Sir Topham Hatt acquired a British Rail Class 40 diesel known as D261 (also called ‘the Diesel’ or ‘Class 40’) for a trial period. D261 had first arrived on Sodor in 1962 to assist with goods and express work, but after he insulted the steam engines by saying they were out-of-date and should be scrapped, D261 earned the engines’ vehement scorn. Not long after he arrived on the Island, D261 was scheduled to pull the express, but as he was getting ready, an inspector’s bowler hat got stuck in the diesel’s air intake, causing D261 to stall and feel sick. Duck the Great Western Engine and Stepney the Bluebell Engine took the express instead, and D261 was sent back to the Mainland in disgrace. In 1983, D261 was sent to be scrapped at Crewe, but the Class 40 diesel managed to just barely escape scrap when he was bought by a group of locomotive preservationists; after his brush with death, D261 vowed to change his ways and be more kind. However, his near-scrapping, combined with his embarrassing incident with the bowler hat all those years ago, not only made D261 more of a coward and hypochondriac, but it also earned him the mocking nickname ‘Bowler’.

When D261 returned to Sodor, the engines were quite skeptical of him, as they remembered his anti-steam rhetoric from when he first came to the Island. However, D261’s brush with scrap made him realize that he was now just as outdated as the steam engines he once mocked, which caused D261 to abandon his dislike toward steam engines. Over the next few months, D261 proved himself to be a strong and hardworking engine, although he sometimes broke down. Still, D261’s valiant efforts earned him the begrudging respect of the other engines, though they still teased him with the ‘Bowler’ nickname. After D261’s trial period ended and he became a permanent part of the railway, the Class 40 diesel was sent to the Vicarstown Dieselworks, where he was given an overhaul and restored. Now openly embracing his nickname, Bowler can work just as hard as any other engine, though he is still a hypochondriac and somewhat narcissistic, to the occasional annoyance of the other engines. Bowler used to work on Toby’s Branch Line, but in 2019 was transferred to the Main Line to help with goods work.

The most recent arrival to the branch line is a well-tank engine named Sonny. One of the first engines built with piston valves, Sonny worked at various coal mines on the Mainland. When the colliery Sonny worked for sold him in 1951, Sonny passed through various private owners, before being purchased by the thieves Baz and Bernie. With Sonny, Baz and Bernie attempted to steal various inventions from the 2019 World of Tomorrow Technology Fair at Ulfstead Castle, but were ultimately foiled when they tried to hijack the Shinkansen locomotive Kenji. Sonny was given a second chance by Sir Topham Hatt, who allowed him to stay on Sodor Railways after Sonny saved Diesel from an accident. After a short trial period on the Main Line, Sonny was transferred to Toby's Branch Line, as his strength and smaller size made him more suitable for the branch line than Bowler. Though the other engines initially distrusted Sonny, they soon learned he was a kind and helpful engine who wanted nothing more than to be really useful. Nowadays Sonny handles the goods, Laura the passengers, and Toby helps wherever needed.

Lastly, in terms of rolling stock, Toby has two coaches (Henrietta and Victoria) and luggage van (Elsie) that work with him on the line. For more on them, see the Factbook on Thomas’ Branch Line.

Thank you, Percy! And welcome Sonny! I hope you enjoy your new life on Sodor!

I s'pose that I should, as newly elected Consul for Life, say something.

Fųck.

Okay there ya go.

But in actuality: I'm back, for good, after a couple years of hopping on and off NS. A lot has changed since I was last regularly active, and most of it isn't for the better. Activity across the whole site, from gameside to the Portal to the Multiverse, is down, way down, from the glory days of 2015-2016. Even this region, where I used to fear leaving to go off and RP because I'd come back to 170 messages on the RMB, has all but died, being a few old assholes and a lot of memories left over.

But those assholes are still here.

As your Consul, as your friend, and as this region's undefeated champ in bothering other nations so much I get reported to the mods and lose a nation, I promise that we're gonna work together to revitalize the CoFN: we're gonna work to revitalize the region we've already got, we're gonna work to suck in as many newly-created nations as we can, and we're gonna work to keep them active and invested in the community. Because fůck you, we're too stupid and stubborn to just roll over and die.

Anyway.

It's Tea Time.
