Here's the thing about intervening in other people's affairs: sometimes you have destroyed a region, but you have not destroyed the ideals and thinking of Fascism. These nations are already indoctrinated with their own darn ideological fantasies. If you come in and break their stuff up, do you think they are going to like it? How about those who are living peacefully here? What if these said "fantatics" stage a small sabotage or espionage attempt on us?

The point I'm driving here is that we don't need to make enemies here. Sure, denounce them all you want to. Hell, even throw an official Security Council condemnation in it if you want! But you can never fully eradicate what these people are thinking in the first place - that, you are up against their history and community as a whole, and boy will I tell you that it is a losing battle to fight with people who are already so indoctrinated themselves.

The NPA should instead be focusing on protecting democratic institutions and regions around NationStates and helping out with internal matters within our own region. We don't need to fight wars far away from home, but we certainly can protect our allies and those we are interested in to protect their way of life and culture.

Fascists are a very, very, small minority here and even if they manage to stage a small sabotage on us, it would hardly have any effect at all, because we are the most stable region in all of NS. Fascists play this game knowing people will come after them, so they come after people too. They were never trying to peacefully co-exist with everyone else. Fascists are more of an annoyance than a serious threat to anyone, though fash-bashing is still satisfying (because they always get so triggered).

As for the NPA, if it only does what you think it should do, it'll basically be doing nothing. Our region is stable, our allies are stable, unless you mean something else with "helping out with internal matters". We do raiding and defending, but what we do most is tag raiding on dead regions, which is basically training.

As to my national RP, I think you are taking it way too seriously in the context of NS Gameplay. I have simply voiced my nation's views on this recent development in international affairs and there you are, eyes bewildered thinking that I am trying to instigate an uprising here. :P

Any opinion you voice about NS Gameplay is NS Gameplay. I'm just trying to tell you how your opinion is probably wrong, and there's better places to use your energy (like on your national RP, unrelated to NSGP).

For someone who advocates for freedom and fights for the NPA, you sure as hell are bad at trying to keep members within The North Pacific. These types of suggestions are exactly not really helpful for the region for sure.

Know your facts before speaking, please. My post was literally the same as Nessie's, that's why I deleted it. Thousands of people come through TNP, most of them don't stay. Many of them never intend to be here, they found their nations knowing what they want to do with it.

Mhm. And I am a critical journalist who just so happens to write a bit of "smack" on the news headlines of our boys heading home after the war. Is there exactly an issue with this?

You are probably right, but sometimes it is fun to keep up with the times and give my opinions and statements about current developments in NationStates, don't you think? Furthermore, I do sometimes feel a bit annoyed when other nation's RP is all about the glorification of their military assets. :P

Like I said before, we can disagree and just stop listening to each other. It's your call now.

Nothing wrong with having your own opinion, they just might not be very well informed though. Then again, I'm sure many defenders share similar opinions with you, that's why I told you to check them out.

I'm also annoyed with RPs that's all about glorification of military assets, but that has nothing to so with raiding/defending.

I can’t help but notice RP and military assets were mentioned?

I’m not a game player so can say little on the current conversation though.

I might be interested in joining the NPA, but that's just a huge maybe. To be fair, I am more interested in international affairs and WA resolutions. You can take a look at the forums if you like, I usually put up a few dispatches about them. As for raiding/defending? Meh, I will take a look at it or two and see how it fits my style.

And yes, RPs that are all about the glorification of military assets are cancerous. I'm glad we can agree on this.

I've seen some of your dispatches, and I respect the dedication. But here's another piece of my unsolicited advice - playing non-compliance in the WA isn't going to make you well-liked.

Yeah, we were saying how we hate nations flexing their military in RPs.

All the more fun rather than playing ball. I challenge the WA at times just for the basis of RP in it, and I even received a condemnation by Wallenburg just to stir things up (and also, because there are tons of non-admitting creative compliant WA nations in here).

Of course, I can choose to play ball, but that won't be any fun since it is just the monotonous aye from everyone.

Sounds interesting.

Trade Deal. We are offering Beef. Auld British Land has a strong farming community and Beef has the potential to be one of our biggest exports. If you’re looking for beef let us know!

Aerilia is ranked 11,310th in the world and 657th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 84.78 on the Human Development Index.

Remembers that Necerierra in WA but doesn't bother to comply with their demands anyway.

Indeed we will. My nation is suffering from hyperinflation and isn't exactly "the best nation in the world", given 175 million people on an island along with the occasional "money bombing" by our enemies.

Fines and sanctions do affect us somewhat, but it's difficult to RP that if you are meeting new nations for the first time.

Maybe if WA makes it more damaging as to say, opens non-compliant WA nations to invasion or whatsoever, then yeah, I will be scared.

So this all started because someone raided some dead region?

Yes, and soon this will be part of my master plan to steal your jobs.

Well I really think we shouldn't care about some dead region being raided, after all, it was horrid and war torn.
