Athretvari wrote:Haha, I think the “Safety” index actually measures product and work-place safety, as in there isn’t a high likelihood of being killed if you use the products or happen to work in the country. It also measures preemptive measures taken, like requiring the use of fire detectors and suppressive-systems, food-handling and processing regulations, etc. I do think it also measures how safe you are just walking down the street, but I know it also includes all that other stuff.

So, that’s probably why, in addition to no officiql police force, that Nedea is so “unsafe.”

I'd also like to think that with the size of my black market and corruption that most businesses and the like pay for the cops to patrol more mainly because the business doesn't have all legit inventory. The cops get both extra money and probably buy some of less regulated goods. Dead bodies and violent crime hurts the other crimes going on.

Hahahaha tbf I'm surprised I've not seen that on someone's Grindr profile... dreadful place :')

What are everyone's views on these:

Should Executive Power be vested in a single individual (i.e. The President of the United States) or a council of people (i.e. The Cabinet of the United Kingdom)?

Should legislatures be able to dismiss an administration/ministry (the Head of Government and/or the entire Cabinet)? And if so, should that force an early election? Or should the legislature appoint another administration/ministry to serve the remaining term of office?

Should Legislatures enjoy fixed terms of office (like the US Congress), or may they be dissolved for early elections by the executive or a majority of members of that legisture (like the UK Parliament)?

And a little tongue-in-cheek question to conclude... would you rather a Congress of Monkeys (America) or a Parliament of Owls (UK)? :p

A single executive.

Should legislators...

No. I dont believe there is a necessity for a national legislator.

Depends on how you want your country to RP. Having a president could make the politics more stable. Though how the legislature looks could hamper the president. (Might limit your political parties in your legislature) having a cabinet gives you the ability to have a easier multi party system.(this gives you the ability to switch your stances on things with a general election)

Should legislatures be able to dismiss an administration/ministry (the Head of Government and/or the entire Cabinet)? And if so, should that force an early election? Or should the legislature appoint another administration/ministry to serve the remaining term of office?
Yes, with the first one. I think it should go to a full election.

Should Legislatures enjoy fixed terms of office (like the US Congress), or may they be dissolved for early elections by the executive or a majority of members of that legisture (like the UK Parliament)?
Why not a fixed term unless dissolved by the legislature? Say 5 years unless changed.

The owls mainly because that's how they got who.

Wow I just watched the movie, “Gravity” last night for the first time. (Bought it a while ago and didn’t even watch it or take it out of the wrapping until then) and now I wake up this morning to an issue the directly parodies that movie. 🤣

you guys should checkout "The Platform" on Netflix. It's a bit of a stomach turner if you're not into gore, but the premise is great.

Over a month ago I began looking into the economies of 46566, Athretvari, Nedea, and other economic powerhouses in the region. Inspired I tailored solutions to hit my biggest sector. I'm now running my economy at 100%.

We just recieved an embassy request from an almost entirely spanish-speaking region. They also sent me a TG in Spanish. What does everyone think? On one hand its always fun to have embassies with other regions and it might be interesting to one from a region that speaks another language. On the other, I know only some Spanish and can carry basic conversations so i may need the help of translation software. Do you guys think the language barrier is a reason to not open embassies or should we try anyway?

Agreed, but I have a weird feeling its a puppet storage region masquerading as a real region. (Timing of posts and decreasing number of post likes by the same group of nations, as if one person was going through his/her puppets and responding like real players.) Not that I have any real objection to having embassies with anyone, short of fascists and neonazis, but I feel uncomfortable with the attempt to look real.

Considering many of us on NS are multilingual it wouldn't hurt. We could delegate translators on behalf of the regional body.

I wouldn't discount Athretvari's concern. We are better off having affiliates with a legitimate region consisting of multiple independent nations. Still, if a region predominantly speaks a language other than English, we could offer a translator (if we have).

I don't mind either way. In all honesty we don't do much with the embassies we do have in the first place. I honestly think it would be a bigger problem if we had a multi region run rp they wanted in. We didn't get notice UCON went under awhile ago for example.

I feel that. I’ll have 56 hours after today. Then I gotta work 84 hours next week and 56 again the following week. 😭

I think I am close to finishing up the upcoming story arch, hoping to my post tomorrow!

Speaking as a twin myself, there are few things quite so special as the relationship between twins. Best of luck with them! :)

Wow! Double congratulations! Are you guys exhausted yet? :) And just think, those “terrible twos” (x2) are just around the corner!

Bro, seriously, congrats. There are few noble causes greater than giving a soul a chance to live on Earth.
