As some of you know, the election for councilors (Regional Officers) in LCRUA has finished, we are currently setting up
our goals to improve LCRUA as a whole, for now, here are the nations that were elected and their positions.

Linnuis. Position: Defense: Handles the military, defense of LCRUA/allies of LCRUA, and has the ability to ban nations.

Condealism. Position: Legislation: Handles laws and proposals.

Yymea. Position: Culture: To spread Lcruanian culture throughout Nation States.

Noladea. Position: Information: Makes Newspaper, gathers information, makes sure nothing is outdated.

Frangleterre. Position: Diplomacy: Handles alliances and embassies.

I am now setting up an comment system in a forum for The RCN, the reason I'm doing this is so
I have a place I can get clear criticism and opinions on the current Issue and the stuff discused in the articals
and comics.

Link: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=364985#p27264265
(will be placed in the first and last text in the Issues from now.)

Hello comrades, I have been elected again as your councilor of Information, and my goal this term is to improve
the state of the newspaper, after all, all you deserve a quality newspaper, here are the ways im going to improve the paper:

-Improve the Regional Community News by

1. They shall be on Wednesdays, I have the most free time on that day, meaning I can make them faster.

2. Push the recruitment for the newspaper even more, hire artists to draw polandballs, and/or ask people on the polandball subreddit if I can use them in our newspaper (Due to the recent lack of comics on the comic side of the newspaper), and I will make a forum for each issue for people to comment on there thoughts on the current paper, criticism is need to improve someones work.

3. (Due to the recent fiasco of issue 10) I will always make sure to not make an article like that without consulting our Diplomat, Frangleterre.

4. I shall make a RCN puppet and share the paper around Regions we have yet to embassy/ally with.

If you have any questions, please telegram me.

Lazarus stands vulnerable. I say this because of the practice we refer to as "raiding." We've seen that raiders can come into homes and destroy them quite effectively - but I don't say that we are in danger because of the threat of raiding, so much as the threat of the unknown.

Lazarus is a fairly large region, and therefor we are capable of defending ourselves passively, simply through the number of endorsements our delegate has. Many, or most of you, know this already. However, if you ask yourself right now if we are capable of being attacked, would you have an answer?

Lazarus suffers from a lack of Intel, one that could be devastating to us. I propose that we elect someone to the job of espionage: to set up embassies, shadow regimes, and even WA nations that can gather Intel and keep an eye on anyone who may be a threat. Not only will we then be able to know our enemy, but we could help others. An early warning system could come in handy for any friendly nation, as they could call for aid in strengthening their delegate before an attack, instead of trying to pick up the pieces after. Perhaps, with an early warning system in place, Lazarus could even from its own relief force to help other regions we are peaceful with, without the fear of having our delegate swept out from under us while our forces are away.

I propose that this 'spy master' or 'intelligence manager' or what have you be me. Given the green light I could have a network in place in days. I have an abundance of free time, and could easily attain even mid level positions in enemy regions.
What say you all?

Thoughts:
: I completely agree, funny enough our region LCRUA is planning something like that, thanks for your insight of your regions defense in Intel and espionage.

After the rebel group The People's Republic of Republica Democratica Hispana (The people's republic of the republic of Democratic Hispanic) tried to either Independence or convert Segundo Imperio Hispano (Second Hispanic Empire) to communism; España y Portugal immediately declared war on the rebel group. The rebel group because of the declaration of war started doing terrorist attacks in España and Portugal (Spain and Portugal) since it doesn't have the military capacity to start offensives. In response to it España and Portugal sent drones and assassins to kill the rebel group's high command. It also requested Segundo Imperio Hispano for it's troops to go to it's territory to kill the rebels. Segundo Imperio Hispano accepted with the condition that there couldn't be more than 50.000 men. Now 50,000 troops are coming from Spanish and Portuguese Australia to China (rebel zone). The international community is tense since communism and authoritarianism have never fought each other before.

Raiders took over one of our first embassies The Reckoning, luckily Eyak and the defender region Eyote liberated
the region with his puppet Cabratierra under control of the region, and is now setting up the region as a part of history and as a puppet storage region.

As they say: The Reckoning has been liberated and will serve as a puppet storage region and protectorate of Eyote for historical purposes. The situation with Cabratierra has been lifted and it will be able to run the reckoning as a puppet storage.

On behalf of LCRUA, we would like to thank Eyote for liberating The Reckoning.

I am getting a bit concerned over the recent raids of our embassies, and I don't want LCRUA being the next
target, I am demanding that we begin the defense operations soon, I love this region to much for it to be destroyed by
a rag tag bunch of raiders.

Malutia lusia cialty and Krypton Nova is setting up an defensive for LCRUA and a separate region for defending innocent regions.
Infomation: page=dispatch/id=530011

proposed flag for defender region

More information will be revealed in the coming weeks.

On the sixth and thirteenth of december, the regional elections have been organized in France. The thirteen regions of the hexagone and four oversea territories had to choose who will govern them for the next two years. During those elections, a phenomenon nicknamed the "brown wave" was expected. The Front National (originally, the National Front for French Unity), a far-right party, considered by some as a fascist or even a neo-nazi party was expected to make a historic breakthrough. It is because of the party itself bragging the merits of a navy blue wave (navy blue being the official colour of the party, and Marine, the french word for navy the name of the party's leader) that the name "brown wave" was found by opponents to the party as a comparision between the FN's ideology and excrements.
The rise of the FN along with the rise of far-right in Europe in general has several causes. If the surveys tend to indicate that the majority of the population that vote FN consider their vote as economically motivated, those surveys also show that most of them don't really know anything of the economic program of the party. The economic crisis, the migrant crisis, the rise of the IS and ascociated organizations along with a loose of trust of the traditional parties and a public denounciation of the corruption that resulted from the two-parties system have to be added to the tragic events that occured in Paris at the begining and the end of this year as causes of the rise of far-right in France. With no other serious anti-system choice than the FN, large amounts of the french population (sometimes even traditionally leftist or far-leftist!) choosed to support the National Front.

The first round of the elections was frightening as the brown wave seamed to cover France almost entirely. During the week that separed the first round from the second, politicians from every party decided to take mesures against the FN, the two main parties, The Republicans (right) and the PS (center-left), in particular. The PS decided to retire its candidates in the regions where they were only third in the first round, while The Republicans, lead by the former president Nicolas Sarkozy choosed a strategy called the "ni-ni" in french, meaning that they will proceed to no retirement, neither any merge with another list, claiming that they were the only possible wall between the FN and the power.

Nicolas Sarkozy, whidely impopular along both the left and the right, will eventually be personally the great ideological looser of this election and far from learning from his errors, he will decide of a great reform of the entire party, starting by firing the party's number two Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, who had strongly opposed to the "ni-ni" strategy from its very begining. Leaving the party and renouncing to her candidature for the presidency of the Greater Paris metropolis, she will declare that for her "there was an opponent, the PS, and an enemy, the FN, and the ni-ni strategy was an error by putting them on the same level of consideration."
The final results of the second round had seen a victorious defeat for the FN, that will win zero region but which realize a historic breakthrough and became the main opposition party in regions such as the NPDC and PACA. The Republicans are the ones that have won the most regions (7) but they benefited from the leftists that voted to prevent the FN from passing, they only obtained 1 oversea territory and the party is more weakened than ever as some of their traditional supporters join the far-right and some other, more moderate, drift to parties such as the UDI (center-right) mainly because of the terrible managing of Nicolas Sarkozy and some sentences he pronounced that left the impression he was somtimes agreeing with the far-right. The PS had no-so-bad results considering that the public opinion was angry against the current president François Hollande winning 5 regions and 3 oversea territories but the ideological possitions of the party, considered as a way too rightist for a party that claimed itself socialist keep making it loose more leftist voters.

Every party that had opposed the FN declared after the results that things were going to change once and for all and that the political climate that had permited the rise of the FN had to end, a lot of politicians claiming that they will change their way to do politics. But only a few days later, all those words prooved themselves to be lies when the Prime Minister Manuel Valls asked for a change in the name of the PS, stating that "socialism was a dead ideology that belonged to the XXth century" and when, in Corsica, the only region that had been won, nor by the left, neither by the right, and not even by the far-right, but by the regional nationalists, the independentist Mr. Talamoni made his discourse entirely in corsican after being elected at the top of the island's legislative branch, the Prime Minister, quickly followed by others, declared that speaking corsican in the corsican assembly wasn't tolerable which, whatever was everyone's opinion on the topic, reawakened old tension between the island and the mainland, with a rise of anti-corsican racism on the mainland (and most of the medias) and anti-french racism on the culturally italic island. On social networks, sentences such as "Corsicans are terrorists just as IS." from french people and as "Catalonia is showing us the way to follow." from corsican people made their apearance.

With The Republicans that are weackened and lead by a very impopular former president, the PS, disorganized and following an unelected Prime Minister in a rightist direction, and the far-left and ecologists that are divided and weak as never before, the FN's president, Marine Le Pen is considered as having her chances in the 2017's presidential elections, helped by the growing amount of french people who have lost the little faith they had in politics and that claiming for the white vote to be taken into account stop voting or vote for the FN to "make the system explode" (as commented by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the communist party of France, formerly an important party). But many of them ignoring most of the FN's program and ideology, that include a terribly violent dicrease of women rights and more generally the suppresion of many progress slowly made by the previous governments since the 70s! In other words, the rising FN would represents a true regression of the french society when in power, but the traditional parties asociated with a system rejected by the people and far from its concerns are prooving themselves more and more everyday to be totally unable to stop it. Terrible new when some surveys seam to show that a considerable percentage of the persons who vote for the FN would vote for totally different ideologies if they had more choice, such as a french Podemos. Which doesn't unfortunately mean, however, that racism is not rising in France as never before, like if the fuses had blown in the country of lights and that the Revolution on which it had been built had been forgoten. Far from protecting a culture, fascism is once again destroying it, except that this time it hides under another name.

Infamous DEN Flag

Raiders, the scum of NationStates, nobody likes them, everybody hates them, especially me, nothing is worse than losing your little community that it being forcefully taken
from some big raider region.

Cimmeria flag

Which is why I would like the defense side of LCRUA to start making plans to make a separate region that was designed to defend from raider attacks,
luckily I heard some type of spy network is underway to stop these kind of raids, though my point still stands, I would like our defense to defend innocent regions from the insidious raiders and stop them once and for all, thank you.

The stabbing of a London commuter by 29 year old Muhaydin Mire is the latest in a string of terrorist attacks in Europe, but it will most certainly not be the last. Wielding a knife, Mire reportedly attacked two men in a tube station in east London on Saturday night, "seriously" injuring them.
The police quickly apprehended Mire before he could do more serious damage. During the scuffle when he was being arrested a witness repeatedly shouted at Mire, "You ain't no Muslim bruv!" This message has rapidly gone viral across the internet and is becoming a slogan against Islamic extremism. The message dispels the notion of Islamophobia and affirms that many, nay most, Muslims are against such senseless violence.

Assistant chief constable Mark Newton, of the British transport police said that, "The safety of the travelling public remains our top priority. In addition to our usual specialist response teams, last week we launched Project Servator, deploying even more highly-visible police patrols designed to identify and deter terrorism."

This sounds good but it's empty rhetoric. Islamist terrorists are not deterred by the threat of capture. How do you check everyone if they're carrying a weapon? All you need is one nutter with a kitchen knife and all hell breaks loose. No, we mustn't let this this faze us. What is the object of terrorism? Is it to cause damage to a specific body? Again, no. It is to spread fear and terror. If we live in fear of the terrorists, we give them victory. If we carry on as normal, we win. It's like when someone tries to wind you up, if you ignore them eventually they give up.

Obviously though we can't just ignore this situation due to the fact people are being killed. What is to be done then? We have several options:
1. Do nothing
2. Bomb Syria
3. Invade Syria
4. Install police state
5. Work covertly against the terrorists

1. Doing nothing might work if the idea that drives the terrorists burns out. But that's a big if. It may gain strength and grow to such a level that we won't be able to deal with it. Personally, I can't see this happening. The current area IS controls is fairly sized but very sparsely populated. I don't imagine that IS's brutal ideas of governance will work on masses of unsympathetic people.

2. Bombing IS territory is just a stupid idea. Strategic bombing has been found lacking time and time again. It is just a, comparatively, cheap way of appearing to fight an enemy. It is the government's way of saying, "see we're doing something!" When in fact they aren't. Bombing IS territory will also just worsen the refugee crisis.

3. Invading Syria wouldn't really solve as much as you might think. Remember this isn't a nation we're fighting here, we are fighting an idea. And as we all know "ideas are bulletproof." Ideas don't die. If we invade and take over Syria, then what about IS in Iraq? Or Somalia? Or Libya? Or west Africa? Will we invade every nation that they operate in? IS is the result of a globalised world. It doesn't exist in one place but rather it exists in the mind. If we take over Syria we'll just have an even bigger mess to deal with.

4. This would be a catastrophic act of self mutilation. "Let's defend freedom by destroying freedom!" A Pyrrhic victory if ever there was one. Yet still many in government are trying to do this. I don't believe that they're so stupid as to think that this will actually work, I think that they're just using the excuse of terrorism to further their own power.

5. Working covertly against the terrorists whilst maintaining an outward air of doing nothing I believe is the best way to go. We should figure out what drives people to terrorism, how to deal with that and keeping our nations safe. Far too often governments do things on the surface but do nothing in reality. We need to do nothing on the surface but something in reality.

So let's not give the terrorist scum the victory by living in fear but instead let's just get on with our everyday business. Mourn those who's lives have been taken of course but don't live in fear. Keep calm and don't get blown up!

So, Yymea is in a civil war. A bunch of rebels decided it was a good idea to take over the entire western half, and try to invade the capital. It was all fairly bloodless on the civilian side, with only a few foreign powers involved, but then someone with over 500.000.000 troops nuked Yymea, and managed to get literally every power involved in the war against them, including the rebels they supported. The war has droned on and on, darth vader showed up, and was banned after much OOC talk, but has somehow returned, the limit of MT has been broken, Cobrastan is doing Cobrastan things. How am I supposed to write a serious factbook about this? "Sith lords led by darth vader then attacked Kikikas, just as Cobrastan sent some spaceships to attack the hairy men of god"
This is made worse by the fact that Yymea currently in limbo location wise. Am I in earth, or am I in Arcadia? Am I in both? Have I submerged Arcadia into a nuclear winter, after literally MILLIONS of nuclear devices were used? Shouldn't the world have ended already? Well, we will see. But in the meantime, NS stats about my environment mean nothing now...

This is Noladea, the creator of LCRUA and the current writer for The RCN, recently we've been having a problem with the left side of NationStates,
they dont like us that much. I remember back when the region of LCRUA was starting out and a member of the Red Fleet mocked and ridiculed the co-founder
Condealism intelligence agency because he thought that he would raid our region based on his past actions, we looked into it and forgave him for his past, sadly some ''others''
cant. Our recent friendliness with the right side of NS caused our long time ally, Vetelo to cancel embassies with LCRUA, he said that he was forced by the big
Left leaning regions like North Korea, The Internationale, etc to cancel it, and here I am wondering why they hate our message of peace, did we do something? no, we did not.

It's their own closed mindedness that they cant see the good in us, they're stuck in a mantra of ''You allied with views I hate, so I hate you'' which makes no sense considering
that we stated MANY times that we are neutral, or as neutral as we can be, that we are peacemakers, all they see is that we are enemies, and that saddens me, all we want is peace, and they cant see that because of this, the (pardon my french) goddamn Ideological Gap, it separates people into useless categories and demonizes people or organizations that mean well, the left and right are both guilty of this and we need to break it, we need unity, peace, commpassion, and camaraderie,
Here is the final thing i have to say to both NS Left and NS Right: Stop the raids, the hate, and the cruelty towards each other and instead work together to close this goddamn Ideological Gap!!!

Edit: After some thinking, I might of demonized the left in this article, and after some info from Cyborgs and sentient machines I know the reason why the NS left hate the NS Right so eachother much now, I will elaborate more on that in the next issue.

The winning flag

To strengthen bonds between regions LCRUA and Libertatem, we had a flag competition to change their flag that promotes hate

Flag in question

and to change it to more match the region, Krypton Nova flag won and once one of our allies contact there officials to change the flag and they agree, they will change the flag.

New Constitution: page=dispatch/id=513400

The new constitution is now active, any nation in the LCRUA region or in regions that have our constitution have to follow the rules of, anyone found breaking the law will be put on trial and if found guilty kicked from LCRUA.

Krypton Nova is asking for nations to help write ''The LCRUA'' factbook, for more information contact him.

Currently The Workers Council is discussing ways to set up a Juridical system, any advice/help is appreciated.

Frangleterre and Krypton Nova have suggested a reform of the Constitution and Legislation, after a bit of suggestions and arguments,
we've settled on reforming the Constitution and Legislation to better suit LCRUA and the people as a whole.

A poll will be up for the vote, remember to read the entirety of the new Constitution before voting once its public.

A type of Cold War is happening between Noladea and Malutia lusia cialty, both are competing for best tech and military after a naval war that happened on the coast of Noladea in the Brythonnian Sea.

They decided instead of warring, they compete to see who has the best tech, military, and culture.

-New Constitution

-A type of Cold War is happening between Noladea and Malutia lusia cialty

-Frangleterre is being very legislative.

- :3

-New members: United tip, Stolen idol, African arabian states of democracy, and Macropus.

Krypton Nova is proposing a system where if the worker councilor is too busy the advisor hired by the councilor will step in,
if you want to be an advisor, contact the councilor you want to advise for, here are some rules:

Every councilor should be able to appoint advisors or secretaries. They will officially be a part of the government, and will be tagged as
such in the members list. They are ranked below the council, and can not vote in council votes. The councilor who employs them can use them for anything he needs done in his area of expertise. I suggest the maximum number of people a councilor can employ to their aid is 2. This number can of course be discussed further. A councilor can fire or
appoint at their own will, and when a councilor loses his status, they lose theirs as well.

The elections are over, here are the results:

Krypton Nova
Linnuis
Noladea
Frangleterre
Yymea
Malutia lusia cialty

Olvia didn't even get a single vote :(

The disease called Orpheocordyceps Unilateralis has mutated to the point of infecting humans, luckily
Krypton Nova and Cobrastan colony developed a vaccine in a matter of 2 days, hopefully nothing happens to backfire this accomplishment.

On November 1st, you'll vote for 3 candidates of The Workers Council,
If you want to join The Workers Council, first you need to say you are in the RMB and Telegram one of the 3 Founders (aka Noladea, Linnuis, Condealism intelligence agency about joining,

They gave their names to the two main political parties of several countries including for example the United States of America, but do we only know or remember the origins of the opposition between the Republicans and the Democrats and what exactly were their ideological differences?
Forget for the time of an article everything you know about what are now the two mainstream political ideologies as we are about to go back to a time when some Democrats were defending slavery and some Republicans minorities’ rights as full parts of their ideas.

The opposition between Republicans and Democrats was born in a time they were both part of the same political movement: Republicanism in opposition to Monarchism. To understand what question made them split into two opposing parties forever, we must go back to Revolutionary France. As always, the French were criticizing the English way and this time, it was their vision of democracy they were moaning about. According to some great thinkers of the French Revolution, as Rousseau, the representative government the English people had put in place was an illusion of democracy and direct democracy the only form of it to deserve the name: The Democrats –supporters of Democracy, at this time intended as direct democracy is intended today- were born, and by opposing to their ideas, those who were “just” Republicans –supporters of a representative government- though they wear different names at this point of history. In Revolutionary France, Democracy was defended by the Montagnards while Republic was defended by the Girondins and before that, the Corsican Republic defended direct democracy in front of Britain.
Note that in the First French Republic’s Assembly, the Girondins sat on the right seats, while the Montagnards sat on the left seats, which conducted the people to nickname them “la droite” –the right- and “la gauche” –the left- this assembly being at the spring of the two terms the most used in today’s politics.

In the XVIIIth century, nobody contested that a Democracy was direct by default, including the Republicans who never claimed to have in will to establish a democratic system at this time. So why are we saying we are living in democracies today? Even if there’s a theory implying that in reaction to the USSR’s propaganda about “people’s democracies”, the USA created a counter-propaganda to convince the “free world” they were democracies, making the term drift from its original meaning to something less “socialist”, it is actually not know exactly when, how or why, the word “Democracy” drifted from its original meaning to take the sense we know it.

Most of Democrat Parties around the world do not even promotes or research to reach direct democracy anymore considering this aim that first saw them created as not moderate enough.

So what are the main characteristics, the pros and cons of these two systems and which one is better? Don’t expect me to give you a clear answer on that point.
Apart from the fact that everyone is free of their opinions of course, you have to understand that none of those systems is inherently better than the other one. The best way to open your eyes on the defaults of the system you prefer is still to look at the –constructive- criticisms from the other side.
A simple Republic considers itself as the best system as it is supposed to place only competent people at the head of the state, prevents tyranny by majority, be able to give a more hearable voice to the minorities and also prevents the country from reactionary reactions the people may have that could endanger the country with threats as fascism, Nazism or Stalinism.

However, from a democrat point of view, a Republic is, before everything else a regime controlled by an elite, easily corrupted by money, power, or even just the wrong beliefs. The government of skilled people lost its meaning when confronted to reality and the competent representatives chosen by the people are often by default choices of an apathetic citizenry between choices it all considers as bad and being largely influenced by biased criteria such as their time on TV, their ability to speak with manners or even with lies without getting caught!

Eventually, to the eyes of a democrat nothing proves the representative will act respecting the people’s will neither he understands the true people’s living or their preoccupations. Imagine a Minister of Education who never went to school. Sounds absurd? Yet it may be the case in your country by now! Ministers of Education who are in charge of organizing public schools but who studied in a private school is not only a possible scenario, but for the same situation applied to the other Ministries it is always the case when you think about it a minute.

A Republic contradicts itself at this point, placing elite at the head of the state for its skills but in positions they could have no skills in. To complete this statement with examples, I’d quote two that prove a representative government doesn’t really prevent from reactionary policies unlike what it claims. Firstly George W. Bush’s election in the US and even more importantly, his reelection in 2004 are both considered as the results of a reactionary movement in the United States promoting the return to a certain isolationism due to the repeated failures of the country on the international stage. The man, a pro-isolationism neo-conservative would have been a logic choice if he wasn’t knowingly ignorant about the modalities of international stage diplomacy as for a result that he ridiculed himself, the republicans and the USA several times, like for example the day he forgot publicly in an interview, the name of the Pakistani leader (or President, depending when), the General Pervez Musharraf.

Worse, Bush said he had been recently elected (Musharraf took the power with a non-violent coup d’état) and he was going to stabilize the country (we’re still waiting for that part). Bush is, still today, one of the most mocked foreign politician in several countries. Secondly, France is currently engaged in a Constitutional reform that would inscribe in the country’s supreme law the possibility with people with the double nationality to lost it in some conditions, the reform only concerning a part of the population had been qualified as discriminatory and inefficient for what it has been created for. This reform is a reactionary reaction to the Charlie Hebdo Attacks and the Attacks of the 13 of November and as it was put in place by the Socialist Party, it is a direct consequence of the representative government system that considers that a government that gets out of the line it has been elected to follow still represents the people.

On the other side, the Democratic Republic –yes, just like what North Korea claims to be, or try to reach, or whatever, let’s just not try to understand this weird regime- considers itself to be the best system for serving the people and its interests, for representing a state belonging to its citizens and being its citizens instead of the contrary, for preventing the country from elitism, corruption and political apathy, for not only being ruled by representatives but by true commissars –just like in the soviet union, yes but no, the term doesn’t come from them, it comes from France, again- of the people’s will and the electors themselves, for putting the right persons in the right places, for presenting the advantages of a statist country combined with those of an anarchy, which even conducted some moderate Marxists to declare that direct democracy was the true meaning of the words “dictatorship of the proletariat”. The main criticisms of Democracy from the Republican point of view come from its natural instability. The Fourth French Republic, if it wasn’t a direct democracy but just close, is a great example of a government that was so unstable that it eventually self destroyed by a freezing democratic life due to an over powerful parliament and too much of a strong voice given to the opposition that however didn’t prevented from the eventual tyranny by majority.

Thirteen years only: That’s the time the Fourth Republic lasted before imploding, leading to the birth of a Fifth Republic that had been the only Republican system of France of which’s Constitution had been written by the rightists and in which the stability was so valued that democracy was a way too often put aside. It is also admitted by numerous thinkers and political analysts that too large landmasses and territories couldn’t be ruled efficiently by a direct democracy –at least until recently. James Madison, father of the American Constitution –also recognized citizen of the First French Republic in 1793- himself said about the United States that “The Union is not and will never be a Democracy, it is not meant to, it is meant to be something better.”

So, is the answer: “There’s no solution, no better system.”? Maybe it is, however depressing it sounds, many politicians and philosophers deduced from these information that both systems were imperfect, which would sounds logic apparently. Democracy that was achieved for the last time in the city of Athens in Ancient Greece has been qualified of unreachable for a modern time country. But other countries more recent almost achieved stable direct democracy, or at least a close hybrid system, like the First French Republic, under which imperative mandate was invented, this way skilled representatives were mandated by the people to accomplish their will and their will only with a sort of contract between making that if they broke their engagements their contract could be broken too by the sovereign people ending their mandate. The First Republic Constitution will however never be applied because of the war against the European monarchies allied to stop the republican regime. The Paris Commune which only concerned one city –as in the ancient times- and only for of few months, its stability never had the time to be proven. Modern day Switzerland is often advocated as the one and only remaining Democracy.

However the Swiss system is actually a hybrid form between Democracy and simple representative government Republic. Until now, it was accepted that direct democracy, even when considered as the best system was unreachable but the rise of the internet and of the intranets made some politicians, analysts, but more importantly militants reconsider this position. After all, wasn’t a republican system considered as impossible to put in place in the medieval age? I know what you are thinking about, and yes, according to the original definition of the term, your country is not a Democracy –however hard it claims to try to implement it in some remote sandy countries with democratically elected bombs.

All of that bad news doesn’t mean there’s no hope however. Firstly, if you’re Republican, this is pretty much a good situation for you and your ideology as the democrats themselves seem to have lost faith in their own one. Secondly, if you are a not-completely-desperate-yet Democrat, the news are not bad enough to lost this trust in what you believe, the idea of reaching Democracy is a noble cause, and maybe even a far from impossible one after all. I already talked you about the invention that certainly represents a new age but also a new hope for this system: The internet –and intranets- could in some years be able to furnish the people the safe platform they need in a context of direct democracy. Starting from this point, we could easily imagine a form of bicameral parliament in which the lower house would be the unity of all citizens and a soft form of imperative mandate to keep both the democracy and its stability. The two hardest points would be to find the equilibrium between the Democracy and its own very constitutional stability in such a state, and, maybe even harder, to manage the transition from the old, strongly ingrained system, overcome the politicians of who’s whim will be to preserve their status, and even the people, who dramatically politically apathetic will certainly at first refuses such responsibilities. Considering all that, you can also ask yourself if it would worth it giving the power to an incompetent people that have no envy to rule, but here again, there’s solution that can be considered, as a slow transition that could mainly pass through and actualization and an adaptation of the education system to be in accordance with this new world in construction, along with informative TV programs accessible and understandably adapted to the general public, etc… The solutions are not what make the societal problems Democracy poses hard to solve: It is their eventual efficiency once finally applied to the real world, reason why listening to the opposition is actually a thing that politicians -and people in general- should do more often to have more chances to find the solutions that will work in the light of the criticisms of the one who do not think as you do. And it is also to find a way, to cross and make other people cross the step, reason why you’ll have to find the difference between listing to the opposition and letting it prevents you from reaching your goal.

In conclusion, Republicanism is at the origin the support of a representative form of government, while the belief in Democracy meant the belief that a direct democracy is inherently better. Sometimes considered as unreachable, new technologies and new solutions are being found to make this last one stable if one day achieved. As the Montagnards and the Girondins back then, the left and the right will keep fighting over those problems and their solutions which may be the greatest risk for both of them, as the rising far-right is already taking these old subjects and their self claimed “new look on it” at their advantage as a tool to reach power.

Intro
The statement that the creation of fully sentient robots would lead to the destruction of mankind is a false one. The only good statement regarding this is "we can not know". We can guess though.
In the following article, I'll explain why I think we can't know what it would bring.

How it works
Today the most complex robots that are nearest to being called "sentient" (we're far from there) use artificial neural networks, which are a combination of different layers that process information. But they are so... complex... that even the top experts wouldn't be able to know what they would do with a given input. It's like this: You give it some input (like a word), it processes it by some unknown method, and it gives the output of that.

Learning
Now, you're probably curious as to why they made these networks, but don't know how the input is processed? Well that's harder to explain, but the gist of it is that these layered networks are build in such a way that enables the controlling robot to "learn". This means that the robot learns and actively calibrates these networks to give the most correct output at any given input. A mathematical equation will always be correct of course, but if the input is "what does this picture represent?", you'll probably get what I mean by learning. First it might say a cow is a washing machine, but eventually the networks are adjusted (in an unknown way) by the robot itself, and it will say a cow is a cow. The above is exactly the same with humans. We learn by making unknown connections in our brains, which makes every human being unique. It also provides us with our own subjective view on the world, and consciousness.

Emotions & Feelings
So robots and humans would both be conscious and learn in the same way. What would separate us then? Well, that would be our feelings and emotions. While we can have emotions because of physical reactions caused by the brain to express something to our fellow humans, robots won't have a need for it, and won't develop it. They will have opinions and morals though, like this is good or bad, but they won't feel good or bad about it. The same goes for feelings. Having emotions and feelings doesn't make you any more conscious then a robot, it just means you have an organic brain. It does make it debatable whether or not a sentient robot would be considered "alive" or not.

Smarts
But there is another thing. A robot is much "smarter" then you. Hereby, I'll define smarter as faster in progressing information. A robot will be able to overthink dozens of scenarios in advance before it acts. It is also more knowledgeable, because it's hard drive will contain more relevant information then a brain (relevant information, because a brain contains a lot more information then a hard drive, it's just that the huge majority of it would be useless to a robot). Combine these two, and a robot would be man's best friend OR it's worst enemy.

Conclusion
Why would a robot turn on mankind? It will be able to overthink this thoroughly, and make an informed decision. The answer is unknown, but I ask you to think about this question. I think it won't, because humanity has so much potential the robot can profit from as well. Killing humans would kill this potential, and as such would be a poor move.
Because the robot learns just as humans do, it would be wise to teach them the good things about us, and make sure the robot is ready to face the bad things about us as well, without reverting to violence.
The robot might even come to the conclusion killing is a wrong thing to do, and teach that to the next generations of sentient robots... who knows?

Missile crisis in china!
Segundo imperio hispano's (Second Hispanic Empire) intelligence confirms that the rebel group at china has taken control of a nuclear plant and a facility that enriches uranium. With this they could build atomic bombs in years of distance. The international community has been very tense with alliances and threats happening. Roman Blati has mobilized troops near rebel territory while the rebel's technology keeps improving because of the rebel group's secret alliance. Strategists from sides are trying to attack the enemy to turn the sides and win the war. So expect a great battle soon!

After the rise of Fascism and Nazism in Nelsonburg, a Führer rose to power, severing the ties of Libertas Regionem and Nelsonburg. The Führer attempted to bomb the capital of Libertas Regionem, New Libertans, but did not succeed. Heavy carnage was seen on the borders of these nations, and an estimated 689,000 were approximated. President Theodore Alexander of Libertas Regionem ordered air strikes on Nelsonburg, annihilating its capital and several surrounding villages. Prisoners taken by the extremist party of Nelsonburg were freed and taken back to Libertas Regionem. The Führer was captured by the Hellfire Squadron of Libertas Regionem, and was executed in Nelsonburg for treason. A monarchy is being installed in Nelsonburg, and Libertas Regionem is giving aid to the victims.

France Takes a Trip by FVBLT

Tuesday, March 11th - A disturbing message was found on our RMB, which claimed Slick gamerz to be controlled by the same person as Your fam & Puppets. Up until that moment, evidence pointing at that was sparse, and only Demon catz was suspicious of this being the case.

Xxxx420n0sk0p3z360 nati0nstat3sxxd0rit0s wrote:

Dear, LCRUA

It has come to our recent attention (about 20 min ago) that one of your members Slick gamerz may be Your fam & Puppets, our best DEN Friend.

Our president allegedly spotted him logging on to the account on his computer and has notified me, and most of the council. Our president does not lie and has never lied to anyone about matters regarding NS.

most of the other council members want to see more evidence, so our president will try and get a confession out of him at lunch.

Please take this message seriously, as it effects both of us

Best wishes, Diplomacy Officer Xxxx420n0sk0p3z360 nati0nstat3sxxd0rit0s

Soon after this, evidence supporting this to be the case was produced by Neo-italian federation, when he took a picture of the guy controlling Your fam & Puppets, while he was viewing the inbox of Slick gamerz.

It didn't take long before the evidence spread out, and Your fam & Puppets admitted to controlling both nations.

Slick gamerz wrote:

It's me! Your Fam!YOURE A FARAB!
Bye now.

In the meantime, tensions rose high in the LCRUA, as various members were quite upset with Your fam & Puppets breaking his word, and lying to all of us. Krypton Nova gathered the accusations and needed proof for the trial that would inevitably ensue, and our Councillor for Legislation Theocretes checked if they were accurate and whether the provided proof was sufficient. The other accusations also included his affiliation with DEN, which Your fam & Puppets claimed was only to spy on them. The accusations and proof were deemed valid by Theocretes, and as such a trial was held were our members could vote on his punishment. The people voted to banject and condemn him.

If you want to see all accusations and proof, you can follow this link to the official dispatch: nation=lcrua_archives/detail=factbook/id=587731
The results of the trial were as follows:

It should however be noted, that at the time the accusations were made, and the poll was held, rage and anger might have clouded our judgement. Nevertheless, he broke our law on 3 different points, which still makes his ban legitimate. Luckily for him, our Constitution allows a public referedum to be held to lift the ban, and a condemnation only lasts 2 months -unless he breaks the law within those two months- so he still has a chance in this region. It might require a small miracle though.

The actual name of Your fam & Puppets was removed because we respect his privacy.
