  can I please get a consistent spot without being removed thirteen times since people here are simply not grasping the concept that even though I've been roleplaying here since 2013 that I am a "take long breaks but consistent" girlie and not a "active for a while then never to be seen again" girlie get yourselves together it's been over a decade babes obama was president when i joined sugar

  and since both 42 and great substitute 24 are both taken let the children keep them and let me move my country geographically again like i am jews creating israel and move me to 18 or something but for fucks sake can we keep it this way

  just please stop x-ing my country off the map when you know i'll only stop roleplaying when all the sexy people leave this region but they're not an extinct species (yet) so get it together people

  none of this would be happening if blair von schroeder was premier

  and pls dont make me copy paste my TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN application here can a bitch get a break you know im tired baby

  i know ur not removing some oldies because of historical significance or whatever to the region but baby im one of them and it is time yall start to see it because this is getting embarassing, if you packaged all the CUNT i serevd here and brought it into china we would fix their boy-to-girl ratio

  give me my hard earned respect as an iconic veteran you lil fuckers

  thank you youre welcome

  What is 'Statutory banishment?

  The Brætha have released guidance raising the minimum age of statutory banishment to 21. But what exactly is statutory banishment?

  You may recall that, only a few months ago, the Brætha released a statement concerning Mr. Wond's punishment for treason. He was convicted of this unacceptable offence without recourse to a trial due to overwhelming public favour and a unanimous vote by the Brætha.

  As in the case of Mr. Wond, successful conviction of an unacceptable offence warrants statutory banishment. In its original form,conceived in the 1500s, it stripped convicts of their status as Sertian citizens, and they were unable to return to Sertia. Many sought refuge in nearby Rowsperch or the West Olves, both of which were independent at that time, but mostly were refused entry because they recognised convictions of unacceptable offences decided in Sertia.

  Now, statutory banishment takes a less severe form. You can only be banished from Sertia completely if you have claim to nationality of another EU nation. This was the case with Erab Danulch, who was convicted of treason due to his position I the Aspernian paramilitary during the Schism. He was permanently banished from Sertia because he possessed dual nationality with Istkalen. His banishment was a subject of national concern because he had never been to Istkalen in his life.

  However, most are banished from the major cities in Sertia if they are successfully convicted of statutory banishment.They receive government support to find a home and manage their finances, and are confined to their property except for special circumstances, for example to go to hospital.

  The recent guidance sets out a more lenient scheme for the rehabilitation of under-21s, who cannot be found guilty of statutory banishment and the age at which statutory banishment applies is expected to continue to rise in future.

  I know the act allows for Medals for doing your job but I won't be a part of voting for a medal for doing your job well. We are all thankful for Councillour Firoux and especially his efforts on the European Neurodivergent and Disability Rights Act which gives protections to 10's of millions of Europeans but it is at the end of the day his job to create and pass legislation. Why should a politician be given a medal for doing their job? This undermines the seriousness of any medal.I do not believe in medals for doing your job you are paid for as servants of the EU people.

  Announcing my IAC campaign

  June 7, 2023

  alt text

  Dear citizens of the European Union,

  I am proud to announce my campaign for a second term as the Internal Affairs Commissioner. Ever since taking this job in January, I have served you with my best effort. Here is what I have done in four months:

  I brokered a deal between the Kingdom of Reitzmag, the United Duchies and the People's Democratic Republic of Svarna Surya after a conflict which could devastate the EU. Alongside my premier colleague Juncker, I condemned the riots against the EU-recognized Gadalland and Aspern, led by Guthrun Wond. I put up my constitutional reform, which promised that unopposed candidates in the commission elections would be subject to a referendum before taking office. Unfortunately, this was not approved by the European Council. I also initiated the Fourth European Leaders Summit last month, once again with Premier Juncker.

  In my second term, I plan to do the following:

  Submitting a bill to the European Council that will standardize trade and consumer protections and standards within the European Union. Submitting a comprehensive environmental protection plan to the European Council to address climate change, as well as further investing in clean energy resources. Strengthening integration and ensuring equality throughout the European Union. Further committing to peace between the member states of the European Union.

  I completely understand the criticisms that come my way. I have not been able to be as prevalent in the European political sphere as I would like to be, and I apologize to those that have been disappointed in me for this. Mea culpa.

  I will rally the European Union to meet with the people of the EU, as well as endorse one of the candidates for Premier Commissioner. These will be announced next week.

  Thank you for listening, and for not losing hope. I will serve the Union for as long as the people elect me here. Thank you.

  Statement of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Istkalen

  I cannot in good conscience lead a government which attempts to criminalize my own existence. I communicate to the National Salvation Council and the public my intention to resign in the case that the proposal for the restoration of an unequal age of consent and for the prohibition on manifestations of "sexual and gender deviance" is implemented.

  There are few in this country outside of the military apart from me who have any desire to serve as its head of government, and few abroad who want to see a non-civilian take that office.

  Hello European Union!

  The Grey Wardens completed a Weekend of Wargames with our friends in The South Pacific that included chasing/triggering, mock libs, game nights, and more! When we weren't busy impersonating each other and confusing most of GP, we played some CityGuesser and Skribbl.io to reassure ourselves that we don't know geography and can't draw. To wrap things up, we released a joint statement about our friendly activities and a TGW raid report: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1650662
