We plan to build a stable democratic region as well as a raider army to liberate regions from oppressive regimes if this region grows
We will be attempting to grow this region as time passes. It might be slow at first
Bonaferia, No state here, and Hma goliath
Bonaferia, Steppe khanate, and Hma goliath
Once we have a few nations, we will begin forming our first government
We have 3 WA nations now
Aureumterra and Bonaferia
Excellent to see new members, we now have a discord server to begin planning out the region

I now have two discords thanks to that, because I'm stupid :D
Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hi since I'm the WA Delegate now. Thank you for endorsing me, Aureumterra and Purple rats. I have endorsed you both in turn, and I'm not sure if this means I will lose Delegate status, but that's okay. As happy as I am for your support making me Delegate, I would also be happy to see either of you taking the helm. Democracy is a team sport, after all.
I would also like to say thank you to Steppe khanate, for taking the initiative to create this region. The fringes of the political spectrum have reasserted themselves in recent years, and I am glad to play a part, however small it is, in the Iron Front's mission to reduce the influence of communism and fascism and to promote democracy. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you guys.
Hey everyone. It seems that there is quite many of us already. :) Could we discuss any future actions about forming the region government? I have never been in active Region before, so I would really like to hear your thoughts.
I have a past not too proud of (was in the CCD)
Trying to distance myself from is as much as possible, but I do have experience raiding
You have the support of the Raxulan Empire in your movement.
The Goliath has been sent both to increase the size of your region, and to act as a representative for the Empire.
Hi everyone. Sorry for this long message, but I have a lot to say. Please read.
I would like to begin by apologizing for my recent absence. I've been on an extended visit at a friend for a day and a half. When I came home and saw what had happened, my internet decided to go belly up before I could react, but it seems to be working now. I see quite a bit has happened in my absence.
Apparently we got raided by the North Pacific through their feeder region Birb. Several nations relocated from Birb to our region, endorsed Purple rats so he became WA Delegate, and then left the Iron Front or resigned from the WA. It appears that the raiders did this because they disapprove of my voting record in the World Assembly, and that Purple Rats was not involved in or responsible for the raid. He was chosen by the raiders as my replacement because they believe he would be more friendly towards their interests. If this is not right, or if you have more details so that we can piece together what happened, please come forward and share this information with us all.
I would like to freely admit that I don't have any experience as a raider or defender. As I lack the knowledge to be of much use in these fields, I have no plan to participate in raiding or defending, unless the community asks me to. I propose we set up a new Officer in charge of raiding and defending, and that this person will have authority over Border Control (ability to eject nations from region), and possibly also Communications so that they can send Mass Telegrams to warn the rest of us about incoming raiders. What do you guys think about this idea? And if we create this Office, is there anyone with a lot of experience who is interested in running for "border control minister"?
Although I am happy (and honored) to be WA Delegate, I want to make it clear that you are free to vote me out if you disapprove of my leadership in the World Assembly. We are a democracy, and this attack does not change that. Whether I am the regional Delegate or just a regular member of the WA, I will continue to vote with my conscience, to support democracy and oppose tyranny in all its forms. If you disagree with me in my voting record, you are welcome to come talk to me and present your arguments for why I am wrong or why I should change my vote on something.
The Steppe khanate says on the Discord that he has been working on a constitution, and proposes that we use a presidential system of government. I support this, and look forward to seeing his draft constitution. When it is published, I will create a poll (on the region page) on whether to approve or reject it.
I just went through the "National Happenings" of every nation in our region. The six nations listed below all follow the pattern of "move from Birb to Iron Front, join WA, endorse Purple rats, resign from WA". They are probably raiders, so I have kicked them all from the region. If any of you six were not involved in the raid, please send me a Telegram so we can smooth things out.

This wasn’t a raid lol, they wanted to depose you from WA delegate status because you approved a resolution written by a fascist
Condemn the World Assembly Elite
Bonaferia, Iron front founder, and Hma goliath
Oh crap! You're right. And the proposed resolution has lapsed, so I can't even un-approve it to show that I didn't mean to support something made by 
ShrewLlamaLand. Sorry, everyone.
Bonaferia and Hma goliath
Nice to get back into GP :)

Guys, I have written up a constitution for us. What do you think about it? I posted it on my dispatches page, but I can't pin it on the regional page. Aureumterra or Iron front founder, please pin it. Here's the link:
Mission Statement
We, the Iron Front, hereby devote ourselves to the ideas of democracy and anti-totalitarianism. Every person has a right to hold their opinions and to express them through the democratic process and in open, civil debate. The totalitarians, who seek to silence all those who disagree with them, are a cancer on society and we condemn them.
The Iron Front defends both the right to participate in government, and freedom from the intolerance that totalitarianism brings. We welcome all those who support democracy and oppose totalitarianism, without regard to their other political leanings.
Article I: Membership
For the purposes of this constitution, a person will be considered a citizen of the Iron Front if they:
- have their main or sole account as a member the Iron Front;
- have been a member of the region continuously for at least 3 days (72 hours); and
- hold political values that are not in conflict with the Mission Statement.
People who are members of the Iron Front, but who do not meet the requirements for citizenship, are entitled to take part in debates, but cannot be guaranteed the full rights of citizenship.
The Iron Front Founder account does not hold citizenship, as it isn't a main account, but whoever controls the founder account does hold citizenship if they qualify for it with their main account.
Article II: Presidency
The head of the regional government is the President.
Every person who holds citizenship in the Iron Front has the right to run for president and to vote in presidential elections. The president will have a term of office lasting 3 months. Elections will take place by open (non-secret) ballot, with voting taking place in a location agreed on in advance by the members of the region. Voting will be open for 3 days (72 hours). Voting will begin at a time agreed on in advance by the members of the region, but not later than 3 days (72 hours) before the swearing-in of the president.
Presidents will be sworn in at 12:00 noon UTC on the following dates:
- 1 January
- 1 April
- 1 July
- 1 October
On the regional Administration page, the president will hold power over Appearance, Border Control, Communications, Embassies, and Polls. The president will be the leader of the region, serving as its main spokesperson and representative.
Article III: Officers Besides President
Section I: The Founder
Executive power on the Administration page will be reserved for the Iron Front Founder account. Any decision (made by the president or by any other citizen of the region) which requires the use of Executive power may only be carried out by the Iron Front Founder.
Section II: The World Assembly Delegate
The region's World Assembly Delegate, or just Delegate, will hold World Assembly powers on the regional Administration page. It is the sitewide rules of NationStates that determine who becomes delegate, so elections for that Office is beyond the scope of this constitution.
Section III: Other Officers
The president has the power to appoint or dismiss other Officers on the Administration page. Other Officers may be given any combination of the Administration page powers that the president holds. These other Officers are not subject to being approved or rejected by the Council, but serve at the pleasure of the president.
Article IV: Council
The legislature of the regional government is the Iron Front Council, or just Council.
Every person who holds citizenship in the Iron Front is a member of the Iron Front Council and has the right to vote on it. The president, WA Delegate, and other Officers are members with full voting rights, and do not vacate their seats on the Council when taking office.
Since only individuals, and not groups, can be given powers on the Administration page, the Council cannot officially be vested with any formal powers. However, as power is derived from the consent of the governed, the Council has wide unofficial powers. It oversees the president and other Officers, and serves as a check on their powers. If the Council makes a decision, the president and other Officers must (to the best of their abilities) enforce this decision.
Article V: Amending This Constitution
If there is any disagreement on how to interpret this constitution, the citizens of the Iron Front have the collective power to interpret this constitution and to make new laws accordingly.
This constitution can be amended. For a proposed amendment to take effect, it must either:
- be approved by a simple majority on the Iron Front Council and get signed by the President; or
- be approved by a two-thirds supermajority on the Iron Front Council, with the President having no say.
Thx for having embassies with us!
