The Mariner Review - Issue II

Editorial

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since our last issue. Almost one and a half years, in fact. MT has gone through many changes throughout that period, including government elections, competitions and many more! You all better get ready for an exciting issue! Special thanks to Kassimo for providing the template and some of the content in this issue.

~Anarchic Turkish States~




We have a challenge at hand.
We will be rebuilding our region so we can setup a strong core that will benefit our region’s future!

Interviewing Cryspus

Why did you join MT?

I join because it think that's a interesting region, so I leave Tatenda and join the MT.

What is your favourite part of MT?

My favourite thing about MT is they're friendly people, (have) dry jokes and against fascist(s).

Will you stay in MT forever?

Yes, I can't leave MT because they're just like a family

What is your opinion on corruption in MT?

Each nation and region do have corruption but by MT I don't see a lot about it although I make jokes about corruption so I think MT is a... clean region with almost no corruption.

Last question: Is NationStates better than Detroit:Become Human?

I can't say which is better so both are equally good

Thank you for answering!

The place of legend, lost for aeons in the depths of a great chasm, the Mariner Trench is once again returning to life.

Ferocious currents and phantoms of the dark need not be feared, for beneath the precipice a civilization as old as time endures.

Enter... enter... and make of it your home.

Warm hearts keep at bay cold waters, the light of truth fends off the gloom, all enemies of the trench invite their doom!




Government Recap


The flag of new Chief Mariner The north crystal

In our previous issue, we mentioned the government was coming. It did. A while after the last issue, government elections were held. The first Chief Mariner was Anarchic turkish states, the Deputy Chief was Cryspus. The Minister of a Foreign Affairs was Earthly delights. Beef-land was elected President of the Senate with Earthly Delights, Sprechenland and Hypron. Roavin, Hudsonolia and Stonesticks were appointed judges, with Roavin being the Chief Judge.

A few months later, the second government came to power. The Chief and Deputy Chief Mariners remained the same, as did the judges. Rormarsukal was appointed Home Affairs Mariner and Beef-land became Foreign Affairs Mariner. Hudsonolia was the new President. Hypron and Madddiefayee became new Senators. However due to personal reasons Hudsonolia resigned and as a result The north crystal took up the position of President. Communist Asians became a Senator as well.

In the most recent election, the North Crystal rose to the position of Chief Mariner and a Communist Asians became President. Inven and Creative utopia were elected senators. Interesting government stuff happened and more will follow soon!

Competitions Galore

MT had two competitions since we last saw you all. The first of which was the country leader Facebook competition, judged by Hypron. There were several entries from nations such as Cryspus, Vippertooth33 and Anarchic turkish states. In the end, the detailed factbook from Vippertooth33 won, making it two competitions in a row that they won.

However this ended soon, as nine months later another flag competition was held to commemorate Halloween. Cryspus, Vippertooth33 and Golden hind participated. The winner was Golden Hind as chosen by The north crystal, with a cool skeleton trumpet design taking the crown for a week.

That’s not all the competitions. The Mariner Review is hosting a writing competition. Send an interesting story to me via discord or a telegram to this nation and it could be published in the next issue! So get writing, you have a month!

The winning flag:




Mariners International

In this article, we will explore our mariners all around the NationStates universe and what they are up to.

In the South Pacific, our President of the Senate Communist Asians was elected as Minister of Military Affairs, the commander of the South Pacific Special Forces, a defender military. The SPSF has collaborated with the MT Army in Antifa operations so we hope to see them soon!

Still in the South Pacific, our Chief Justice Roavin (rather controversially) became Prime Minister of the region yet again. They also enacted vexillological crimes by changing the regional flag to an eye searing red and blue combination reminiscent of the infamous raiding organisation the Intruders.

Away from the shores lies Crystalsummer in their Free Nations Region. The region recently exploded in population, with the region doubling in size due to the Drewpocalypse. The WA delegate also doubled in endorsements, with the region now 30 endorsements off the Osiris delegate. Such an achievement that maybe MT will emulate one day 😏.

Opinion: Drewpocalypse

One of the biggest events of the past month was the Drewpocalypse and the Drewpocalypse II. If you are confused, it was a site glitch combined with an unbelievable amount of new nations created. The perpetrator? A YouTuber named Drew. The controversy is that “cringe” Drew fans will ruin the site. As a result of this major update time is more than double the length. Commendations and condemnations of varying levels of humour have been proposed about the subject Deruuu, Drew’s nation. However, in my opinion, Drew has done something good for our site.

I think the Drewpocalypse is good because it is a much needed injection of activity into our site. MT as a region has seen better times, and NationStates as a whole has been declining. However since the videos, MT has gained many new nations, some willing to join the MT Army Reserves and fight for our trench. Regions are enormous in size. Yes, some of them might be 12 year olds. Yes, some of them might be Nazis. But we shouldn’t generalise Drew fans or YouTube users that way.

This could be a new dawn for NationStates. Maybe more YouTubers could do videos on our site and attract people here. It could be a golden age or a time of despair. Whatever it is, MT will prosper!
