I've just lost all motivation to talk here tbh, it was such a big part of my middle school self, and it was my first time actually talking to people online, that I felt super attached to everyone here, and fast forward when I join back nobody could remember me at all, it's selfish that i expected people to, but it's still made me to sad to talk here :3

"Unified Regions, Empowered Nations"


The Augustin Alliance is a multi-region network created for the purposes of cooperation, idea exchange, and free trade. Member regions of the Alliance have different themes, separate purposes, and unique cultures, but are united by similar values and a common founder. Every aspect of the organization is covered in this series of dispatches, from our history to our news articles; from our internal structure to our military hierarchy; and from our offsite rules to our internal policies. We even have a one-of-a-kind Reference Library containing original research on various parts of the site. We hope you find our resources helpful, and if you have a question or concern, our telegram boxes are always open.

The overarching purpose of the Alliance is to allow players to focus on their favorite part of the game, while giving them access to a wider community, and maintaining a high level of quality across the whole experience. To do that, we built a loose coalition of five regions: Ridgefield, Cape of Good Hope, Conch Kingdom, Lands End, and Anteria. Each one has its own theme, its own purpose, and a completely unique form of government. To find out more, read the descriptions below!



Ridgefield
A gameplay region themed as a small town and governed as a meritocracy. WA membership is required for residents..



Cape of Good Hope
A casual, laid-back roleplay region with a map, no forum, and no rules.



Conch Kingdom
A beachside region with an intricate political structure, a tropical theme, an offsite forum, and no WA requirements.



Lands End
A capitalism-centered region, organized as a public corporation, and run by its shareholders and a Board of Directors.



Anteria
A semi-serious, modern tech roleplay region with extensive off-site wikis and guides.



Return to top



The Augustin Alliance has maintained communities and hosted operations of the past. While currently in a dormant state we still remember them as parts of our domain and proudly display them.



Narnia
Based heavily on the fantasy series by CS Lewis, and operates as a "living story" of sorts, where power can change hands at any time with the outcome of battles, negotiations, and trickery.



Dawn
Originally formed outside the Alliance, now politically and thematically modeled after an Athenian city-state. Originally part of the UCR network, this region was taken from the conventists and now rests in our hands as a reminder.


Military
The Alliance maintained a military branch called the Joint Task Force (JTF), which was the only major organization at the time to engage in regular raids and defenses of other regions. The JTF regularly worked with other militaries on operations around the world, specializes in difficult occupations, and managing exceptionally high activity for its size.

Discord chat server
While an RMB works well for communications within a region, the Augustin Alliance uses Discord to bring multiple regions together, along with ambassadors from foreign shores. The chat server has regular conversations, games, political debates, and regional planning. A public invite link can be found Linkhere.


Now that you know a little more about us, we would love to have you stop by one of our regions or the Discord server to chat or ask questions.

To inquire about the Augustin Alliance or get in contact with Alliance leadership, please telegram Allied Commander Emiline or message emiline on Discord.

To inquire about events hosted by the Alliance or to invite the Alliance to an outside event, please telegram CSC Culture Officer Daraln or message fire_and_ashes on Discord.

To inquire about World Assembly approvals and recommendations, please telegram CSC Defense Officer TESDAI or message tesdai on Discord. For matters concerning only one member region, please contact that region's designated foreign affairs official.

To inquire about offsite or serious matters, please telegram Administrator Cle Brait or message babylon98 on Discord.

Welcome a region in the AA alliance matey (they run multiple regions in NS). Because of that this region has an embassy with their region (Although embassies are generally just made as a show of good relations between regions). A person can Generally talk In any region that has an Embassy with theirs.

Sorry to hear that D:
Sometimes it’s tough to get back into the game but you just got to keep at it! Some of us do remember you, it’s a little tricky to keep track of everyone around here but that doesn’t mean you’re not an important part of this community. Can’t speak for everyone but at least for me it’s always nice to see a familiar face like you come back around from time to time. I know when I get to be a little more sporadic here there’s a lot more people coming and going, some of them stick around and some of them come back, and however long they’re around for it’s nice to talk to them and chill together
I’m extremely sleep deprived so I have no clue if that made sense or if there was a point buried in there somewhere so good luck trying to decipher it

Side note: I joined NS 4 years ago in my first year of college, how the heck are y’all so young XD

Hey, thats super valid chief, no need to feel shame over it.

I might not be as active here as I once was, but thats simply because I'm a full time uni student and I got a lot of responsibilities. I still remember you, I just...don't have much time to chat much on the RMB here so me not being as active in conversations is not anything on anyone.

And hey, while I might not be as active in the RMB as I once was...I'll still say this; everyone here is welcome in the Cape, including you. While we might not always be here to say it, there'll always be a pie left aside with your name on it ;)

I personally try and log on to NS every 2-3 days or so, but sometimes life happens and I don't get time to do so. NS and Cape of good hope has a special place in my heart, its my first online government simulator and I was very lucky to run into such a nice community as my first region!

Update: I've fully recovered, I just had my English exam, I think I did ok but I'm a bit worried about my Chinese and math exams on Thursday. Anyway, I'm going to prep for my humanities exam now!

I left that region for one that appeared to lean more left. They had a tolerance for fascists nations joining

The Augustin Alliance has a strict anti-fascist policy and Ridgefield does not harbor fascists nor does it contain fascist nations. Any fascist in the Alliance is swiftly dealt with. I do not appreiciate you slandering Ridgefield by implying it was allowing fascists as it was not unless you want to point to me which fascist was supposedly tolerated.

Next week is the start of my "Intensive" College class. This will be fun...

Do I need to show the screenshot. I literally called you our for allowing authoritarian capitalists

Wagnaria wrote:Do I need to show the screenshot. I literally called you our for allowing authoritarian capitalists

Authoritarian capitalism alone is not fascism. This is fascism, summarizing from Umberto Eco (source: https://www.faena.com/aleph/umberto-eco-a-practical-list-for-identifying-fascists):

  • The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”

  • The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense, Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”

  • The cult of action for action’s sale. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”

  • Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture, the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”

  • Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”

  • Appeal to social frustration. “[…] one of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.

  • The obsession with a plot. “The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia.”

  • The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

  • Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”

  • Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”

  • Everybody is educated to become a hero. “in Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”

  • Machismo and Weaponry. “This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality).”

  • Selective Populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.

  • Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

If you're going to be a leftist, you might consider reading theory before you apply a purity test, bud. Get off r/politicalcompass

I'd be more active here, but either 1.School or 2.No one here is active when I am

Also 3.No Idea what's going on in the RP Side of things.

With you and the others continuing or starting out with College, that old RP about "Cape University*" seems to have become reality~.
