GTA_stu Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I made my National Animal the Labrador Retreiver and something about it popped into my Issues I found it kinda amusing My national animal is the nice person. Sometimes in the issues it will use your national animal as the last name of a person. So if it's lion/wolf/eagle you'll get a Ben Eagle or a John Wolf or a Susan Lion. I had a Hillary nice person telling me about poor farming efficiency. Wish I'd have screencapped that, gave me a chuckle. Also my nice people are on the brink of extinction due to deforestation, poor things. edit: you can go on settings and near the bottom is the thing that sets how often issues are received. Choose "no throttle" to get them the quickest.

Zyo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 My national animal is The Gromit.... So whenever I get those dog-related issues, its usually good for a giggle. in other news, I have just posted a press release to the RMB. Its quite important so I will repost it here Greetings fellow leaders. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of the returning members of the region. It will be my honour to serve you all as the regional WA delegate. I would also like to formally announce the appointment of two of our most esteemed members, the leaders respectively of The United Provinces of Tulija and the Most Serene Republic of Raavistya, to the positions of Regional Commissioner. They are both previous WA delegates and have shown an exceptional enthusiasm and commitment to the region in the past. They will be helping us to guide the region forward and will be paying particular attention to the safety of the region and our people. Vigilance is key in protecting our borders as we saw last year when we foiled an attempt by raiders to destroy our proud region. I felt these appointments will fill a cruical role and were a top priority to aid in defending the liberty of our nations. I hope you will all join me in congratulating them in the continued service of our region and will all support them fully in our journey together. In a further note on security, please know that it is considered quite safe to circulate the password among established members of our forums. There will be a small recuitment drive among forum members in the next few weeks and after that we will be reviewing regional security. If you receive ANY unsolicited requests from anyone here on nationstates, please treat it with the utmost of caution. DO NOT divulge any information to unknown individuals and please notify a member of the security team immediately! If you have any doubts about any communications you receive please pass it on to us and we will investigate fully. Your security is a key priority. Peace and prosperity to you all.Zyonia Norsea 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/723923-nationstates/page/9/#findComment-1068623476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) The Otterian people are dismayed that our regional delegate has such an appalling political rights record. As a region member with high political apathy, I have to agree with this. My nation has always been steered with a firm hand. Although our particular system may not meet with the approval of all nations we should be proud to be part of a region of kaleidoscopic political nature. I would like to draw attention to our progressive social policies in education and welfare. We also pride ourselves on the extent of our civil rights policies. Our lack of crime and support of the arts is notable. Our citizens are governed fairly and with great respect for their well-being. I remain always the loyal and diligent servant of my people. With regards to our shared community, I assure you completely of my commitment to the betterment of our region. In my duties I will be fair and just, and this will be reflected in my actions. To demonstrate this I have already enacted democratic processes among the membership of our region and I intend to extend these priviledges even further. I support you in your right to note any reservations you might have. I hope you will be convinced in the future as we progress together as a stronger region.

Otter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Our respective definitions of 'betterment' are incongruent until you allow your people the freedom to govern themselves. We can not, in good faith, endorse an iron fisted dictator as our WA delegate. We're sure you understand. We propose Raavistya as a nation we'd be far more proud to stand behind, representing our region at the World Assembly, and suggest that any nation who supports freedom do the same.

We propose Raavistya as a nation we'd be far more proud to stand behind, representing our region at the World Assembly, and suggest that any nation who supports freedom do the same. The noble people of Corkhatastan fiercely treasure their political freedoms and acknowledge that Raavistya's actions were instrumental in defending the region during the second war of the raiders, however we have also noted Zyonia's recent work in reinvigorating the region and building links between nations in the region. The government of corkhatastan also recognises that along with political freedoms, its people also treasure the ability to buy cheap child labour produced clothing and poorly made electronic goods. As the people of Corkhatastan don't much like working, it is imperative that nations such as Zyonia exist in the region to supply us with the reasonably priced consumer goods we desire. As both nations have their advantages Corkhatastan will not be partiticpating in any political manoeuvring to favour one nation over the other and will instead endorse both nations Anyone knows whether a country's ideology can be changed or not? I hate that 'Iron Fist Consumerists' tag, because I don't even understand what that's supposed to mean.Your ideology will change over time depending on what choices you make.

Gay Tony Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Alright, I'll bite! The Community of Buttolini Population: 5 Million Buttolinians Economic Worth: 148 billion dickbutts. The Community of Buttolini is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5 million Buttolinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion. The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy. The fair Buttolinian economy, worth 148 billion dickbutts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,672 dickbutts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Voting is voluntary, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buttolini's national animal is the dickbutt.

Gay Tony Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 One of my first issues revolved around gambling and there were only two apparent options. Either make gambling illegal across the board for everyone or have kids gambling. Without any regards to age or anything. No middle ground. Now "Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables" *__* Super proud of Buttolini! :') The Deadite 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/723923-nationstates/page/9/#findComment-1068626787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I already have something better: "Fassardland's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region."

Testarossa Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well, I made a thing. The Democratic Republic of Enzo-Fiorano is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Dino population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5 million Enzo-Fioranoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct. The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.0%, but much higher for the wealthy. The Enzo-Fioranoan economy, worth 226 billion Rossoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,360 Rossoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest. Voting is voluntary, euthanasia is legal, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Enzo-Fiorano City to enjoy their national art. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enzo-Fiorano's national animal is the Dino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
