Episode II

The German Empire Strikes Back

SZEL, the capital of the REPUBLIC, has been reduced to ash. After a decisive victory, SUPREME CHANCELLOR LYSITHEA SNOW leads the remnants of the Republic fleet to the planet of KATINA, in preparation of an Imperial counterattack.

Meanwhile, Snow’s second-in-command, RAPHTALIA, has her own mission, looking for possible allies and ships to aid the Republic.

As the Republic fights on, those in the KAPTEYN SYSTEM have already begun to rise up against the evil Empire, ultimately bringing the Empire’s worst to their doorstep...

Just a quick announcement...

The birthday of one of our embassy regions, 21st Century Rome, is coming up, and with that, their annual birthday competition.

To join, please telegram this application to me (21st century rome). Applications must be submitted by October 3rd at 3:59 PM PT. I'll use these to try to put you on a team as best I can by midnight PT on October 3rd (if not before then).

Application to join:
  • Nation name:

  • Region:

  • Nations in your region you do not want on your team: (optional)

  • Nations in your region that you request to be on your team: (optional)

  • Would you prefer your team to communicate through telegrams, discord, or no preference?

  • On a scale from 0-10, how much do you want to try to draw a ridiculous scenario in MS Paint/an equivalent for the competition?
    (0=you don't have MS paint/otherwise can't or won't, 5=you don't really care if you draw or not, 10=you'd be devastated if you can't draw)

    Please agree to the following statement by entering "agree".

  • I will not ask friends or family, or post any questions on the internet, and recognize that is considered cheating:
    Note that you can look stuff up on the internet, you just may not post the questions (but for most days, it won't help you)

Greetings, all!
It's almost that time of year again, when we invite all our embassy allies to participate in our birthday games. Participants will compete in teams of 3, and regions may have as many teams as they can find people to fill. The plan is to have October 4th-5th be used for meeting your teams and a drawing day, and hold the birthday games for starting on the regional birthday (the 6th), lasting a week. Activities for this year:

  • Pictionary-like competition

  • Guess the Movie

  • Guess the Language

  • Pun Guessing

  • Maths

  • Deciphering Ciphers

  • Find the Pumpkin

Each day will have up to 100 points available per team.

FAQs:

  • There is no limit to the number of teams that can join per region

  • Each event will last for 36 hours to give you time to coordinate with teammates on the other side of the world, so you can join without worrying about what time zone you're in

  • Please only register one nation.

  • Teams will be 3 people.

  • You can look stuff up all you want (just don't post the questions online)

  • If you try, you'll be able to help. It doesn't matter if you don't think you're good at any of these.

Scoreboard:🎃(3)
page=dispatch/id=1435638

The following programs are approved for the pictionary day:
Linkaggie.io (recommended - collaborative in browser so entire team can work together)
LinkMS Paint (Windows)
LinkPaintZ (in browser)
Linkjspaint (in browser, very similar to old MS Paint)
Please ask about other programs before using them

Read dispatch

They've invited the NWI to participate, in fact!
The event will consist of 7 different activities starting on October 6th, including stuff like guessing puns, deciphering and something similar to Pictionary.
People are divided up into three-man teams, so I recommend that you find some regionmates to work together with.

I encourage you to apply to join. The more the merrier, after all.
If you wish to apply, make sure to do it before 7 PM PT, October 3rd.

All roads might not lead to Rome, but this announcement sure does.

Katina

The planet was surrounded by Republic ships, all in formation for a possible counterattack. Meanwhile, Lysithea was meeting with High Command.

“Regardless of how many ships the Empire sends, they will have a tougher breaking through the planetary defenses,” Lysithea said, displaying an image of the planet. “We have two ion cannons on the planet and while we’d have to drop the shield at a precise point, if we time it right we can send a few volleys at a time at the enemy ships.”

“There’s a good chance the forces they send will greatly outmatch ours,” General Pellaeon said. “You really want us to hold out?”

“We don’t have a choice,” Lysithea said. “But I know help will come.” “Please don’t let me down Raph...”

CIC Station

Meanwhile, Raphtalia found herself in the middle of a hornet’s best, one she would have to tread through carefully. “Actually Mr. Wambor, we have other things we need to discuss,” she said, nodding to Keel. Keel nodded back, pulling out her holopad and pressing a button. The elevator behind them suddenly shut down. Then, faster than the normal eye could see, two others of her Guard suddenly pulled out blasters, shooting both droids that had been accompanying Wambor.

“What is the meaning of this!?” Wambor’s species weren’t capable of facial expressions, but the fear in his voice was evident.

“We don’t have much time to talk,” Raphtalia said. “And I wouldn’t go for your desk either.”

Wambor apparently thought she was bluffing and the second he moved, he suddenly felt a blade to his throat. “One more inch and I promise this will start cutting through,” Rifana said darkly.

Now Wambor realized who they were. “Damn Kapteynians...what do you want?”

“What we want is simple,” Raphtalia said, lowering her hood. “You’re in possession of a rather large fleet, larger than expected and one that would certainly alarm Republic officials.”

“From what I hear, the Republic isn’t in a position to police anyone,” Wambor shot back. “And besides, why should I help you, after everything that’s happened?”

“I think you should be more grateful,” Raphtalia said sharply. “As I said, I was aware of your position but considering you were keeping out of trouble, I decided to look the other way. But I have one question though...these droids...they weren’t originally designed by the CIC, were they?”

“The ships were designed by a number of different manufacturers,” Wambor said. “But the droids themselves...were given by a third party.”

“Who?” Rifana asked.

“I don’t know, only the former leaders would know and if they haven’t told you before, I doubt theywould tell you now. So what, you expect me to just hand over everything?”

“At some point, the Empire will figure out your location,” Raphtalia said. “Even if you get away, you can’t outrun them forever.”

“And allying with them would grant you nothing, because to them, anyone is disposable,” Rifana added.

Wambor was silent for a moment. “Very well,” he finally said. Raphtalia nodded to Rifana and she let go of him. He went to his desk and took out a small holopad. “This will give you direct control. The frequency can’t be overridden so whatever you say, they’ll follow. The tactical droids will do the rest. One more thing...there’s a droid factory on Brigid that was supposedly destroyed but the foundation is still intact and it’s still giving off a signal. Unfortunately, it can’t be reactivated remotely, you’ll have to go planetside.”

“Thank you for the information,” Raphtalia said. “What will you do now?”

“For years I’ve thought long and hard about what happened with your people,” Wambor said. “I never was a fan of slavery, but I also didn’t have the backbone to just leave it all behind. I hope this will repay for what I did, or rather didn’t do.”

Unknown Space

In an area of space far away from any Republic or Imperial systems, a small exploration fleet was exploring uninhabited planets in the sector. They were part of the Leitandi Ascendancy, an advanced civilization that consisted of three adjacent systems, with nine inhabitable planets total. Despite their advanced warships, they were peacekeepers, only desiring to explore new worlds. Well, except one in particular.

On the bridge of the flagship, the Armoranth, Captain Jerrin was noticing her Commander appeared to be a little antsy. Not that she could blame the eighteen year old girl. “Impa, you seem a little on edge...or am I reading it wrong?”

Impa sighed. “No ma’am, it’s just...I understand we’re an explorational force but we’ve found hardly any planets to actually explore.”

“Ah, so you’re bored,” Jerrin said simply.

“N-No...well maybe a little...” Impa said, looking away. “I’m just saying, if we could find just one single-”

“Captain, scanners are picking up what appears to be an M-type planet about ten thousand kilometers off our port,” one of the crew members said.

“Well Commander, it seems our luck has finally changed,” Jirren said with a smirk. “Put the image on screen and magnify.”

The planet in question was a mixture of blue and green. It looked to be about sixty percent water, fourth percent land. “Seems hospitable,” Jirren said. “Well, Commander? Do you feel like tackling this one?”

Impa has to control the impulse of literally jumping for joy. “Y-Yes Captain. Consider it done!”

“Very well, go suit up and we’ll inform you when we’re close.”

Impa saluted and went off the bridge, a noticeable spring in her step. Jirren sighed slightly. She admired the girl’s enthusiasm but sometimes that enthusiasm led to carelessness. Of course, Impa could handle herself in a fight but considering she was the Leitandi leader’s daughter, that put a lot of pressure on the captain’s shoulders. Even so, she wasn’t too worried about her.

Opinion Article
Should elections be the norm?
By La Xinga, writer of NationStates News


Kuriko is not even done his/her first year as Secretary-General, yet it feels like the next election is arriving shortly. Although, well, it's not. Now, Kuriko and Running Mate The Salaxalans promised to fight fascists, and with Kuriko returning to a Defender after HumanSanity became delegate of XKI, it seems ever more likely. Kuriko has promised much more stuff, and a lot of them have already become true with only 1/8 of Kuriko's term passing.

Now onto the juicy stuff. In 2016, Caelapes won the election, and in 2020 Kuriko won. The next election will most likely be in 2024. But do we really need to wait till 2024? Should we, instead, add a "congress/parliament" with a representative from each region, with midterm elections? Or maybe political parties, or just the ability to impeach Kuriko for existing?

The pros for this is simple: Fun. Nations that are not new to the game will probably have a lot of fun with the whole political stuff. Nations new to the game may also be more interested in the game and want to stick around. The people having fun the most will be the politicians and the ROs, the main dudes at the head of these stuff. It will also attack the thought that NS really doesn't have much stuff to do. You will ALWAYS have something to do.

The cons, well, are a bit more complex. First of all, it will make the admins do quite a lot of work. Don't forget the Admins are people, not bots.................we think.

Second, although it may make new nations more interested in the game and want to stick around, it may also make new nations extremely confused, and just decide not to log back in. Three, this can allow regions to continue making themselves the point of the game, and four, NationStates is not an electoral game, it's a game to create a nation.

What do you think? Should we do this? That's up for you to decide for yourself.


Raxulan Empire Closed Embassies with Farkasfalka

After some forum conversation, the Administration of Raxulan Empire had decided to close embassies with Farkasfalka. We contacted their Soveriegn to know more about the issue. "We orginally opened embassies with them due to their right wing association (Conservative/Libertarian) and out of hopes that they would be useful to us in our fight against Communism, however the alliance we had (if you can call it that) did not produce very profitable results and seemed to carry more baggage then what it was worth, hence we are closing our embassies with them", said Rost dreadnorramus.


Layem Imposes Travel Ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy

Recently the region of Confederacy of Layem had imposed a travel ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy. We talked with Democracy alliance founder to know more about the the issue. "I was attempting to reform things in Layem with new laws, and was planning to do it after the election. Someone said I was wanting to do this, and I got banned from the region. I got vocal about this real fast, exposing Layem's lies and authoritarianism. Because I was tarnishing their reputation, they banned travel to my new region. As a side effect, Layem was removed from the United Regions Alliance and the founder was put onto a watchlist. These were not my actions, however, my vocalism may have raised awareness to these topics. I have attempted to violently seize power in Layem in early June. They use it against me, although I am ashamed of it and want to leave it in the past. Just telling you this because they may target you. You now have heard both sides of the story. Be careful when talking to the founder; he can turn into a raving jerk sometimes."

Currently, no communication was made possible with the other end.


MoFA Elections in Confederacy of Layem

The region of Layem is soon going to hold its Ministry of Foreign Affairs elections. We talked with Randolphina, one of the candidates, about their election manifesto. "Currently Layem faces really "nothing" in the foreign affairs sphere. We only are close to 1-2 regions and are currently looking to expand and become closer with more regions. I've promised a 'one month plan' in my dispatch if you are interested to take a look. I plan on making Layem more 'inter-regional' friendly", said Randolphina.


Augustin Alliance Emerged as N-Day Champion

Augustin Alliance has emerged as the N-Day champion, pushing all other factions below it. Last year's winners, Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was the most targetted faction this year, finishing in last place with a world record-breaking amount of radiation (821,369). Ba Sing Se completed at the third place with 0 radiation. An Alliance of Potatoes deserves appreciation, for not only having the most number of nations, but also for fighting back to second place. The Potatoes managed to upgrade their score from -65k to 284k, within a few hours.

Overall, throughout the N-Day, nuclear war was intense among the first few regions, with Horsemen of Apocalypse dominating the scoreboard in the initial hours. More information can be found here.


Political Scale of NationStates

In a recent poll, we asked people what do they think of the general political-leaning of NationStates. Most of the people, believe that a specific portion of nationstates is left-leaning, while a fair amount of people voted to express their opinion, that most of the nationstates is left-leaning.

Thank you Mr. President! :)

Volirum, Funky Goats, and Frellor

By the way (and sorry for the double post), I wish to extend a hearty welcome to Borgenatia and Native eagle who just joined us! Remember that you can find information about the NWI in here:


Welcome to the New West Indies!

What is this place?

Our community is a dedicated group of roleplayers, government workers, lawmakers, comedy junkies, flag-makers, designers, and many more!

Founded on March 7th, 2018 by Achipel, the New West Indies (NWI) initially created a modern roleplay canon that has continued ever since. Nations began solely in the Caribbean area of the map, but as the community grew (and grow quickly it did), the roleplay became more complex with it, becoming more Post-Modern and spawning a variety of new adventures.

Vexillology (flag-making) is at the heart of the region. Experienced creators like Cymiopolis, New united carolinas, and Portinabia (among others) frequently show off their skills.

Government and lawmaking have recently begun to take hold, as many experienced members debate potential reforms and changes to regional institutions and affairs.

Members often discuss politics, memes, games, and other topics on our Regional Message Board (RMB) and especially Discord. Anyone who follows the rules and wants to have a good time in their area of interest is welcome here!


What should I do first?

Apply for Citizenship!


You should start your New West Indies experience by completing the Citizenship Application, which will allow you to experience roleplay, lawmaking, and other engaging activities! Once you fill it out completely, relevant authorities will inform you if it is approved.

Make sure to answer every question! To decide what RP claim you want (if desired), go to the Regional Map – make certain that what you want isn't already taken (is any color besides grey). If you are having trouble with the app, contact a regional officer.

Explore our Community!


Our Linkdiscord server is the best place to start – you can begin mingling with the citizenry and ask questions if you're confused. You can also introduce yourself on the RMB as well.

Our Constitution outlines our laws and values – every citizen should read it and be familiar with the rules of the Indies road.

Speaking of the RMB, getting your feet wet in roleplay is quite important if you want to participate. Whether you're a newer player or experienced roleplayer, it's beneficial to get your first post out there and introduce yourself in- and out-of-character.

Finally, you should consider accessing the following resources for knowledge and further assistance:

Regional Master Dispatch

| Where you can find links to every regional resource, including many described in this document

Glossary of Terms

| Are you confused by NationStates lingo or our region's terminology? This ought to help


How do I get involved?

Roleplay!


Roleplay (RP) is the main attraction for new and old members alike. Start by creating your nation's basic lore; where is it on the map? What are its socioeconomic challenges? What are its politics like? These questions and others will guide you through creating an overview dispatch (such as this one) if you are so inclined. Otherwise, begin diplomatically engaging and describing the issues your nation faces on the RMB, so everyone can start getting familiar.

Once you are settled into the canon, branch out! Create some personable characters, discuss IC legislation in the Union of Nations, make an alliance, or create your own business! If you are so inclined, and become familiar with our guidelines, you could even make your own roleplay for the region! The possibilities are truly at your leisure (barring something extraneous).

See below for further assistance.

Guide to NWI Roleplay

| To start getting acquainted with how RP functions in our region, see here

Current RP Canon

| Introduction to the story so far

Roleplay Information

| Where all regional roleplay resources are housed in one place

Participate in the General Assembly!


Once you become a citizen, you are automatically a member of the NWI General Assembly (GA), our regional lawmaking body. As such, you have the opportunity to not only vote on and discuss legislation, but you can also propose your own! We have many experienced members that can assist in the process, especially for newer members. The best way to begin learning about the GA and discuss law is to join our Linkdiscord and go to the GA channel.

Constitution

| Supreme NWI Law

Passed Resolutions

| A repository of all passed GA legislation

Resolution Templates

| How to design and code resolutions

Contribute to the Regional Government!


Our Executive Branch is made of the Secretary-General, the head of government, who every six months (once elected) appoints a cabinet of four Secretaries that make up the "Secretariat." These nations execute GA law, protect the region, and moderate certain regional affairs.

Once you become more familiar with our region, any citizen can run for office, whether that be the Secretary-General or General Assembly President! Additionally, you can be appointed to a Secretarial position or a lower role within one of the Executive departments.

Even if you do not want to work in government, it is your prerogative as a citizen to vote in elections, which increases representation and makes government work better for the people as a result.

Join the World Assembly!


Joining the world assembly not only provides many benefits to you, but also helps the region in numerous ways.

Once you've joined the world assembly, you should endorse the current delegate (Karteria), which allows the delegate to have more sway in World Assembly voting and further secures the region. You can also discuss current WA topics and legislation with other members of the NWI in our WA channel on Linkdiscord.

See "2.4 What is the World Assembly?" near the bottom of this document for instructions on how to attain WA membership.


What are issues?

Issues are the key to any initial NationStates experience. To access them, click the button in the top left corner of your page that says "issues." From there, you can answer the critical questions for your nation however you please.

Depending on how you answer issues, they will affect your nation's "stats" and potentially enact "policies." See the toolbar on your nation's page (underneath your motto) for more information about each effect.

Issues have no major bearing on regional roleplay, but they can give you ideas for how to formulate your nation in-character. Just answered an issue enacting euthanasia, or banning nuclear power? Why not do it in RP too!

If you don't want to answer issues, or you want to answer them more/less frequently, you can adjust the duration between each one in your nation's settings.


What is a dispatch?

Dispatches are canvases for nations to express anything they wish in a public setting. You can write, roleplay, campaign, design art, or anything in between – all through a simple dispatch.

Unidentified M-Type Planet

Impa had changed from her uniform to something more rugged. On the field, it was always best to blend in with your surroundings, especially if lifeforms were present.

She heard beeping behind her and saw her little EG droid, who she appropriately named Edgar, watching her curiously. “Yes Edgar, finally there’s a planet to explore. I’m sure you’re just as excited.”

Edgar made an bemused sound. “Oh come on, the last one wasn’t so bad...I mean it was hot and there were those sand worms...but this is an M-Type so plenty of flora and fauna.”

“Commander, are you ready for departure?” Jirren called via commlink.

“Yes Captain, just about to head to Transport now,” Impa said, making sure to equip her small daggers. “Well, time to go Edgar.”

Edgar made a series of chirps, which Impa was pretty sure sounded like regretful chirps. The two of them made their way to Transport, which contained a device made for teleporting to the planet. The two security guards nodded as she passed by, entering the large room.

“Hello Robbie,” Impa said as she went up towards the machine. “Anything interesting on the planetary scans?”

“Just the normal floral and fauna but we’re not picking up any additional lifeforms,” Robbie said with how thick glasses. “I’m assuming you have everything you need?”

“Of course,” Impa said, motioning towards the backpack she was wearing. “Always have to be prepared, rule number one.”

“I wish so many others were as enthusiastic as you were,” Robbie said. “Go ahead and step inside. The coordinates have been set and this time, we made sure not to put you too close to a body of water.”

“Much appreciated,” Impa groaned. The last time she went to an M-Type planet, the coordinates put her right over a lake, despite Robbie’s insistence that the coordinates had her over land. She stepped into the cylindrical chamber along with Edgar. “Just remember what the captain said,” Robbie reminded her.

“I know, two hours max and then I come back,” Impa sighed.

Robbie smiled. “Stand by, teleportation starts in five...four...three...”

Impa closed her eyes and calmed her mind as she and Edgar disappeared into wisps of blue light.

Chancellor Hurtz and cabinet minister's Henig and Kessler mill about beside a riverside dock just off the quiet streets of Copenhagen, the sun makes its early morning ascent painting the sky with a vibrant alternation of red and orange

Chancellor Hurtz emptied a can of soda into the dark green water of the river Nyhavn as minister Kessler points smugly pointed towards a small trash can behind him. In the distance, minister Henig was gazing up at the painted rowhouses that lined up along side the river, their colorful reflections cast back in rippling clarity against the water.

Their visit to Volirum taken far longer than they had expected, so much so that the group had begun to be lampooned as lazy buffoons on holiday by late night comedians and satirists back home. This extended trip was all on account of Volirum's royal family and their extremely delayed reception of the chancellor and his delegation.

A rough breeze gust upward from the river and rustled the men's overcoats.

"First autumn chill?" asked minister Kessler.

"Where have you been? It's been like this since we got here." answered minister Henig, tightening the collar of his coat to brace against the wind.

Chancellor Hurtz, after an embarrassingly unsuccessful hook shot of the soda can into the trash can, fished a pair of train tickets from his coat pocket. "They're for the 5:00 train back to Andresswhal via Celestiam. We've given the king and queen more than enough time to reach out to us, but at this point its clear our staying here is going effect our responsibilities back home." the chancellor said, beating the tickets against his gloved palm.

"Not to mention the harm to our reputations, did you see the number they did on us Christoff? Last night on 'Andresswhal By Night'?" minister Kessler chimed in.

"Was I not included again this time?" minister Henig asked, smiling from under his clutched collar, "You'd think they'd put the guy who screens their show in a couple sketches from time to time."

"You're the cultural minister Otto, you're allowed to take extended foreign trips. Same can't be said for the defense minister and the god damn chancellor." minister Kessler sarcastically answered, gesturing grandly towards himself. "Anyways, some of us make for better material anyways."

"All that besides the point, the fact remains were heading back today. I've put word in with the crown, they can't expect us to wait hand and foot on them for a whole month. We're socialists for Christ's sake, not butlers." chancellor Hurtz concluded

The sound of the wooden boats in the river beating against the cobbled dockside slowly filled the frigid morning air.

Our Linkdiscord server is the best place to start – you can begin mingling with the citizenry and ask questions if you're confused. You can also introduce yourself on the RMB as well.

Our Constitution outlines our laws and values – every citizen should read it and be familiar with the rules of the Indies road.

Speaking of the RMB, getting your feet wet in roleplay is quite important if you want to participate. Whether you're a newer player or experienced roleplayer, it's beneficial to get your first post out there and introduce yourself in- and out-of-character.

Finally, you should consider accessing the following resources for knowledge and further assistance:

Roleplay!


Roleplay (RP) is the main attraction for new and old members alike. Start by creating your nation's basic lore; where is it on the map? What are its socioeconomic challenges? What are its politics like? These questions and others will guide you through creating an overview dispatch (such as this one) if you are so inclined. Otherwise, begin diplomatically engaging and describing the issues your nation faces on the RMB, so everyone can start getting familiar.

Once you are settled into the canon, branch out! Create some personable characters, discuss IC legislation in the Union of Nations, make an alliance, or create your own business! If you are so inclined, and become familiar with our guidelines, you could even make your own roleplay for the region! The possibilities are truly at your leisure (barring something extraneous).

Our Executive Branch is made of the Secretary-General, the head of government, who every six months (once elected) appoints a cabinet of four Secretaries that make up the "Secretariat." These nations execute GA law, protect the region, and moderate certain regional affairs.

Once you become more familiar with our region, any citizen can run for office, whether that be the Secretary-General or General Assembly President! Additionally, you can be appointed to a Secretarial position or a lower role within one of the Executive departments.

Even if you do not want to work in government, it is your prerogative as a citizen to vote in elections, which increases representation and makes government work better for the people as a result.

Join the World Assembly!


Joining the world assembly not only provides many benefits to you, but also helps the region in numerous ways.

Once you've joined the world assembly, you should endorse the current delegate (Karteria), which allows the delegate to have more sway in World Assembly voting and further secures the region. You can also discuss current WA topics and legislation with other members of the NWI in our WA channel on Linkdiscord.

What are issues?

Issues are the key to any initial NationStates experience. To access them, click the button in the top left corner of your page that says "issues." From there, you can answer the critical questions for your nation however you please.

Depending on how you answer issues, they will affect your nation's "stats" and potentially enact "policies." See the toolbar on your nation's page (underneath your motto) for more information about each effect.

Issues have no major bearing on regional roleplay, but they can give you ideas for how to formulate your nation in-character. Just answered an issue enacting euthanasia, or banning nuclear power? Why not do it in RP too!

If you don't want to answer issues, or you want to answer them more/less frequently, you can adjust the duration between each one in your nation's settings.

Welcome to the New West Indies!

What is this place?

Our community is a dedicated group of roleplayers, government workers, lawmakers, comedy junkies, flag-makers, designers, and many more!

Founded on March 7th, 2018 by Achipel, the New West Indies (NWI) initially created a modern roleplay canon that has continued ever since. Nations began solely in the Caribbean area of the map, but as the community grew (and grow quickly it did), the roleplay became more complex with it, becoming more Post-Modern and spawning a variety of new adventures.

Vexillology (flag-making) is at the heart of the region. Experienced creators like Cymiopolis, New united carolinas, and Portinabia (among others) frequently show off their skills.

Government and lawmaking have recently begun to take hold, as many experienced members debate potential reforms and changes to regional institutions and affairs.

Members often discuss politics, memes, games, and other topics on our Regional Message Board (RMB) and especially Discord. Anyone who follows the rules and wants to have a good time in their area of interest is welcome here!

S T A T E O F T H E R E G I O N

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

State of the Region Address
Midterm

Dear all,
Some traditions don’t end, and State of the Region Addresses are one of them. They represent the opportunity for this region to, every three months, think of its place, not only in the NS world, but in every one of our hearts.

The invisible enemy that is COVID-19 has not spared the New West Indies. Too many of us have lost a loved one during those fateful months. Too many of us have grown isolated, losing contacts with friends, partners, and family. Too many of us have not been able to properly see our relatives for ages, and for too many of us, they will never see them again. My heart goes out to everyone of you, who have seen your lives hardened by not only COVID, but also the other events of this world, whether linked or not to this ghastly pandemic. In face of such hardships, one would be forgiven to see ourselves and our community as powerless.

Still, we can and have done better than “thought-and-prayer” artifices. In the tumultuous ocean that real life has become, the New West Indies stands as a harbour, a port of call where we can all throw our anchors, lower our sails, and taste some moments of solace. The New West Indies is the place where you can vent, where you can write, where you can create. It is the place where we can share our experiences, keep each other up, and tighten the bonds between people who can live many thousands of miles apart, having never met before.

One year ago this was a roleplay region. Six months ago, many would have agreed it carried the double hat of a government and roleplay region. Today, I would be very unable to tell you that this place is a roleplay, government, or gameplay region. The New West Indies have escaped the traditional qualifiers of a region, to become a region characterised by its members. The polandballs, cat pics, satire, pixel art, maps, flags, hell even our political rants, have become a piece of our identity. They, as much if not more than our fancy laws and beautiful roleplay, have allowed the NWI to be a place where all of us, regardless of hardly life has hit us, can congregate.


Definitively gone are the days where the Government drove our region. These days, our citizens drive our region. But if the direct influence of Government has faded, it still has a role to play. It has to ensure that the conditions for the creativity of our citizens to express itself are here. It has to secure the region from threats, befriend other communities to draw mutual benefits, help the running of events, keep information accessible…it has to maintain the stability under which the magic of our camaraderie can take full effect.

This is why our Foreign Affairs Department has initiated and entertained ties with regions of all shapes and sizes, from Government regions like Lorania, to smaller roleplay regions like Official European Union, to community-strong regions like Fylkirgvegr, to powerhouse regions like the South Pacific. Thanks to our Department’s role in securing an embassy with our friends at Forest, we were invited to one of the largest factions in N-Day. The success of those initiatives, the bonds we have made with our fellow Potato Alliance fighters, and the Alliance’s Second Place in Nationstates, are the results of the actions of the People. The Government made it possible, but it is the citizens that make it real. This is the doctrine this Government has been following.

It is in this vein that you will have noticed the NWI.gov dispatches changing, their information being updated and their appearance and navigation being upgraded. This is why you see flag contests. This is why you see us partake in events with foreign regions, and plan some of our own (Z-Day is coming!). This is why you occasionally see us deal with toxicity and personae non gratae (though the nature of this business means you only really have to see the tip of the iceberg). This is why you see our population count slowly increase, beating the NS Summer lull and the Cessation to exist of many “Drew Durnil” arrivers that have slashed our population this summer.

The Government must create the environment in which the magic can happen. I believe in the magic of people uniting in a community to create something greater than the sum of their parts like the Pope would believe in God; unconditionally. This is why this Government exists. It is also why I am immensely proud of my Secretaries Cymiopolis, Funky Goats, North italian union, and New united carolinas. Even if they (I hope!) already know it, they have my total confidence and admiration.

Enough of the past and even the present: what can we expect for the next three months?
The United States are holding elections in a polarised country, and regardless of the results people will be unhappy. We must keep an eye on our own region, for the waters on our harbour to not become as tormented as those outside. We must remember that different opinions exist, and treat each other with respect. We must remember to be the community we are, undivided by whatever our economic, social, or environmental beliefs are.
But we must also remember to call out and, effectively, purge toxicity. The spectres of racism, xenophobia, and general intolerance have no place in our region. There is a variety of opinions to be had that do not overlap with those, and those are the opinions we must respect. Those ideas that are designed to exclude, and harm our harbour, are not to be welcomed.

Beyond this, many great events are coming! Z-Day and Halloween are on their way, the festivities of Christmas and the New Year are in sight, and you, the people of the New West Indies, are as awesome as you always were.

So keep being around. Keep helping each other, making art, writing RP posts, drafting bills, running for election, and being who you are. Because you are the true architects of the New West Indies’ future. The Government is just there to make sure you won’t lack opportunities to do so.

Brilliant as always celest

Kunkenga wrote:
Chancellor Hurtz and cabinet minister's Henig and Kessler mill about beside a riverside dock just off the quiet streets of Copenhagen, the sun makes its early morning ascent painting the sky with a vibrant alternation of red and orange

Chancellor Hurtz emptied a can of soda into the dark green water of the river Nyhavn as minister Kessler points smugly pointed towards a small trash can behind him. In the distance, minister Henig was gazing up at the painted rowhouses that lined up along side the river, their colorful reflections cast back in rippling clarity against the water.

Their visit to Volirum taken far longer than they had expected, so much so that the group had begun to be lampooned as lazy buffoons on holiday by late night comedians and satirists back home. This extended trip was all on account of Volirum's royal family and their extremely delayed reception of the chancellor and his delegation.

A rough breeze gust upward from the river and rustled the men's overcoats.

"First autumn chill?" asked minister Kessler.

"Where have you been? It's been like this since we got here." answered minister Henig, tightening the collar of his coat to brace against the wind.

Chancellor Hurtz, after an embarrassingly unsuccessful hook shot of the soda can into the trash can, fished a pair of train tickets from his coat pocket. "They're for the 5:00 train back to Andresswhal via Celestiam. We've given the king and queen more than enough time to reach out to us, but at this point its clear our staying here is going effect our responsibilities back home." the chancellor said, beating the tickets against his gloved palm.

"Not to mention the harm to our reputations, did you see the number they did on us Christoff? Last night on 'Andresswhal By Night'?" minister Kessler chimed in.

"Was I not included again this time?" minister Henig asked, smiling from under his clutched collar, "You'd think they'd put the guy who screens their show in a couple sketches from time to time."

"You're the cultural minister Otto, you're allowed to take extended foreign trips. Same can't be said for the defense minister and the god damn chancellor." minister Kessler sarcastically answered, gesturing grandly towards himself. "Anyways, some of us make for better material anyways."

"All that besides the point, the fact remains were heading back today. I've put word in with the crown, they can't expect us to wait hand and foot on them for a whole month. We're socialists for Christ's sake, not butlers." chancellor Hurtz concluded

The sound of the wooden boats in the river beating against the cobbled dockside slowly filled the frigid morning air.

"What do you mean no one gave them the message that they should go home!?" the Queen replied furiously after she received a message. "That was to be done weeks ago."
"Well they did get what they deserve," the king stated. "Volirumans don't tolerate disrespect, especially the Danes"

Weeks ago:
After the Chancellor and his ministers we're seen drunk at Svensen pub in Copenhagen by a local AI citizen, photos and a video were immediately sent to the royals.
"I asked my tennis match to be delayed for this drunkard! Not even counting that I had to lie to save the dinner!" Prince Emmanuel said furiously as he speed walked to his parents, tablet in hand.
"Mother! Father!" He entered the dining hall, where his mother was arranging the new wine glasses.
His father came over from where he was checking all food to be served, curious at his son's sudden anger.

The video showed the Chancellor smashing a shot glass on the floor, followed by him calling his minister onto a table and them playing a guitar horribly and singing in a drunken manner a song loathed by German-Volirumans.
"Wow, I guess I was wrong to assume they would be civil while in our country." The King said in an appalled manner. "I wonder if they realise ..."
"And I was wrong for letting you talk me into holding a dinner for diplomats from a republic!!" the Queen yelled in his face. "I told you they would be a disgrace, I told you something like this might happen!"
The Queen promptly turned around and head for the exit. "Lucas, the banquet is off. They will be leaving immediately!"

Afterwards the media followed up on the story and soon nearly all of Volirum wanted them out. Some decided to keep them waiting.

Back in the present

Two Danish men passing by saw the Chancellor empty the soda into the river and acting as if the can was a basketball..
"De havde ret. Ingen kultur overhovedet"(They were right. No culture at all) one said.
"Serverer dem ret til at blive hånet. Vis respektløshed. Få respektløshed"(Serves them right to be mocked. Show disrespect. Get disrespect) the other replied.

While heading towards his father's boat, a Dutch teenager overheard that the three were being mocked in their country.
"Is je verdiende loon. Dronken zijn voordat je de monarchie ontmoet, wordt hier niet getolereerd. Toon gebrek aan respect, krijg gebrek aan respect" he said to them, purposefully not using German. (Serves you right. Being drunk before meeting with the monarchy isn't tolerated here.Show disrespect, get disrespect.)
"Respectloze apen" he said as he walked on. (Disrespectful monkeys)

Hearing about the message to the crown, and the slanderous use of the name of Jesus, an AI person responsible for the upkeep of the river responded scornfully as he started his work.
"Well good riddance. No one wanted you here after that horrid show in Svensen pub," his face turned even more annoyed after after he scanned the river. "And throwing soda into our rivers, polluting according to our standards, is also hated. Do you know how many species of fish live in these waters?"
He headed towards the next section of river in anger. "And before I forget." he lifted his palm and shot three balls towards the men, which broke immediately on impact, sending a disgusting, gassy liquid all over them. "Hope the birds love you today, because people sure won't. That smell is there to stay"

The few people already on the dock either looked amused or laughed out loud
"Got some good Voliruman treatment, eh?" someone said amused. "How about you three run along to the train before the birds come?"

Kunkenga, Frellor, and East skirsburg

(Why does a head exploration ship have a teenager with a likely maximum of just 3-4 years of experience as its commander.. whatever I guess)

New Trabzon

Michael Tozaka is in the RISNC (Ryanuisian Interstellar Navy Command) room, listening to his Generals talk about the current situation in the war.
"The Ventuans held firm at Szel, but they suspect that there will be renewed pushes by the Germans, which is likely. We're also pretty sure that they're seeking allies, to hold against the Germans in the next battles, we suppose."
"Alright, thanks for the info, I'll be off."
Tozaka heads out of the room, and walks to his office. He ponders, wondering what the best course of action would be. He ponders for a while. Eventually, he picks up his phone, and sends a message to RSC (Ryanusian Satellite Communications) HQ.
