no one noticed that South Pacific(not the feeder region) has been raided?
Oversimplified is very nice, but you do have to know what are jokes, what are exaggerations, and what are facts, obviously.
Do not rely on Youtube videos too much for information.
But although, why do you rely on Oversimplified for political and contemporary knowledge, Oversimplified videos are about history, and they are good for background knowledge. I'd understand if you learned history from those videos, but seriously oversimplified never posts video about recent politics.
oh no one going to defend? :(
South Pacific needs your help to chase out the Black Hawks. If you are able to, please switch your WA nation temporarily and move that nation to South Pacific and endorse Panther and other defenders and natives.
Hello, i'd like to ask you for some temporary assistance
South Pacific is currently under occupation by raiders and while defenders are trying their best to stop it, it's not enough, not too quick. Therefore, i'd like to ask you and several others if you'd be so kind to temporarily switch your WA over to the region (either by your main or by a puppet and transferring your WA over to it (temporarily)). If you would want to do that, i'd gladly tell you who to endorse so that the right people get back in charge and the occupation ends.
As for the people to endorse. The right people are;
Panther
Johanneslanden
The lepearchauns
A Down and Dusky Blonde
A Small Rock Off Maowi
Lingang
Dorig
Densaner
I'm gonna have to ask you to be less vocal on the RMB about the oppression as well. If you're vocal then you may get banned. Also, don't spam up the board
Mostly from news sites.

The House of Representatives - composed of representatives from Force, the States, and various territories, the House is responsible for all federal legislation, including constitutional amendments, which start in the House. It is the second most important branch of government, and is responsible for keep the power of other bodies in check, while working on improvements for the government based on the needs of the citizens. The House is led by a Speaker, responsible for communicating passed laws and mediating sessions, representing the House, and maintaining activity.
Cabinet - the Cabinet is responsible for appointing Ministers, and it is directed and overseen by the Prime Minister, the Union’s Head of Government.
Ministries - The Union has a wide number of ministries, each tasked with developing and reviewing a different aspect of the government. Each ministry is led by a Minister and Deputy Minister appointed by the Prime Minister. The Ministries are as follows:
Foreign Affairs - handles diplomatic relationships embassies and ambassadors.
Internal Affairs - focuses on recruitment, welcoming, government affairs, and connecting with citizens.
Media and Culture - directs cultural activities and events, runs national holidays, writes The Force Flyer, and produces other government media.
Roleplay - oversees the Union RP, including its map, statistics programs, and official RP events. It also routinely changes time periods and updates the types of stats available.
All citizens are encouraged to participate in the Ministries, in which they can get a shot at developing projects and initiatives from their respective area. For instance, the Ministry of Media and Culture offers positions for editors and writers for The Force Flyer and the Internal Affairs Ministry offers positions as hosts or recruiters. Ministries can only exist and work efficiently with the help of citizens, through the Civil Service, which allows anyone to seek a job in government and better the region and the Union as a whole.
You can apply for the Civil Service here!
The Governorship Program was created to allow citizens to govern a territory and allow them to grow a region, and consequently, a government, under the guidance and watch of the federal government. It allows you to experience firsthand the management of a region while having steady support to back you up, should you need help.
The Media Policy allows you to form independent news outlets which can be supported and officially recognized by the federal government, as long as their content covers happenings in the Union. It allows any citizen to make their voice heard and hold those in power accountable. A list of recognized media outlets can be found here.
If you have dived head-first into the Roleplay, you may be interested in joining the Roleplay Ministry, the decision making and moderation team for the Roleplay!
In order to enter the RP, you need to join our Roleplay Discord Server and apply through there.
When you enter the RP, there are many things to do depending on how you want to manage your nation. Want to create a commercial empire with hundreds of trade routes? Sure! Become a warmonger and seek world domination? Go right ahead! Participate in UN debates and missions, host meetings with your fellow leaders, deal with rebellions, create ground-breaking policies, form alliances, and deal with events and foreign relationships? Why not!
The RP has something for everyone - even you!
One of the most exciting times to be a citizen is during our elections, where voting for Prime Minister, House Reps., and Court Justices is held! Anyone in Force and the rest of the Union is allowed to run for office and vote - even as a newcomer. During the elections, candidates will engage in debates and interviews, and are encouraged to rally support with inspirational activities, posters, and other creative ways of getting out your message.

AS OFFICIAL ADVISOR OF FORCE, I HAVE ADVISE FOR THE REGION:
WASH YOUR HANDS, WEAR A MASK, RESPECT THE 6 FOOT RULE, AND STAY HEALTHY. ALL WHO ARE NOT HEALTHY BELONG IN THE GULAG OF FORCE (AKA RENEGALLE'S BASEMENT)
Correspondent of the Wintercrest Central News Agency
"Serving the People First"
Greetings comrades, and welcome to the official edition of the People's Republic of Wintercrest monthly regional newspaper, the Revolutionary Daily! Where all regional and external affairs of Wintercrest are journalized in one factbook for the masses. Revolutionary Daily News will constantly be updated bi-weekly, so the reader have time to spread the word of our glorious revolution and the achievements of socialism in Wintercrest.
The Revolutionary Daily is not responsible for any paper cuts, paper loss, lack of humor, lack of grammar freakin nazis, misinformation on "Missing Childs" sections, missed milk deliverys, or currency eaten by our newspaper dispensers. Thank you, comrades. Nor do we refund...
International Pandemic: Covid-19!
The Wintercrest Central News Agency would like to issue a state emergency report of the obvious know issue facing our planet right now. Please listen to your health organization medical and scientist professionals and stay home as much as possible. Follow the World Health Organization guidelines and their recommendations.
Good luck, and stay safe comrades!
Smash of the Old, Bloom of a New
With the help of our Revolutionary Leader Morograd and intense thought on the part of our lawmakers, five new districts were born to take the place of the ministry departments. What are these districts? Well, comrades, the old cabinet has been dismantled and a new executive system has been created in it's place. As a part of this restructuring, two ministries have been dissolved, several congress seats have changed hands, and the new system of 'districts' has been established.
These districts - Information, Cultural, Defense, Diplomacy, and Judicial - are the new pillars of Wintercrest's cabinet. Created from the ashes of the old cabinet is a brand new decorative plaza, dedicated to the aims of the revival effort movement, which has inspired participation from the masses and started activities meant to move the people's revolution forever forward. Within these new pillars is a legislative system that's set in place to allow any member of the Worker's Party to participate in the daily activities and duties of the government. It is now truly the people's government.
For now our grand Revolutionary Leader still heads the state council, but there are rumors of a congressional bill that will allow any citizen to run for head of the state council, with the title of President (or something similar). Of course, they wouldn't be comparable to our glorious Revolutionary Leaders, with all of their loving grace and guidance! But they will, however, have a hand in picking their administrative governors to be placed in charge of each district, as well as the president handling state affairs.
Change seems to be imminent, and for the good of our revolution. Recently leaked plans contained in a notepad 'liberated' from our Revolutionary Leader's robe room show some kind of... to-do list. An odd and yet simply titled plan for an upcoming Cultural Revolution, right here in Wintercrest! It seems this 'Cultural Revolution' will be a major event meant to celebrate the progress forward due to the actions of the Great Revival Effort that started almost a year ago on August 17th, 2019.
An undercover journalist was also sent to sneak in to the estate to gather more top secret plans of this 'Cultural Revolution,' but it later appears they had taken some hallucinogenic drugs on their way. On a phone call back, they called the station, saying the following:
Call Center: Hello, [...]? Is this you?
Reporter: Oh, thank god! I don't know where I am!
Call Center: Are you alright?
Reporter: Yeah, uh... I'm fine, but I don't know where I am. And I feel... woozy...
*Thudding Noise*
Call Center: Hello? Are you there? Hello!?
*Please note that our reporter's name has been redacted for their own privacy
Later that night, our reporter was dropped of on the steps of the local fine cheese shop by an unmarked red van. They repeated the phrase "Everything's perfectly fine now. I'm fine. Are you fine?" a total of seven times before falling unconscious. Currently in the hospital, doctors concluded that there had been blunt force trauma to the head, which was most likely from accidentally falling over. Our reporter will survive, though, so at least there's that.
Well, whatever happened, we're sure our glorious new governors will get to the bottom of it without much ado! We wish the best of luck to them in their duties, and may they have the support and respect of their people as the marks of a hundred happy collectives cover their paperwork!
Thoughts on our Regional Activities!
It seems to be another sad end to yet another short roleplay on our regional message board. As it turns out, the rmb roleplay was to be at yet another intresting point, but randomly took a leap to the no post land after a few days of inactive rp posts. Nobody seems to know where the problem began. Players are laying the blame on inactive posters for dragging the roleplaying down, others saying it didn't grab the players interest, and nobody knows, or will point out where these issues began.
The Roleplaying Committee however has came up with a few ideas for improved roleplay theme, discussion has been steady, but will soon be a reality. With the Roleplay Committee now being slowly transferred under the Cultural District category, ideas are fueling for a Galactic Sci-Fi style roleplay. One that features planetary roleplay that will possibly being based on the players nation, or they might be able to come up with their own planetary theme. Discussion in the committee leads on that this roleplay could possibly be open to the NS public, in an effort to hopefully grab more activity this time around. All we can hope for is that a single player doesn't try to use this as an opportunity to create their own micro Cosmic Super Laser Cannon and ruine the whole ordeal.
In other ideas circling, there's a possible wiki creation, dj music nights, movie activities (as articled below), design competitions, and much more. The cultural district would like to ask the masses to please be patient as ideas surface and these changes roll out. The more comrades that participate, the more ideas we can combine and reach our road to prosperity.
Starring Jackie Chan as Huang Xing, the story closely follows key events of the Xinhai Revolution, with focus on Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen. It begins with the Wuchang Uprising of 1911 and follows through historical events such as the Second Guangzhou Uprising on 27 April 1911, the deaths of the 72 martyrs, the election of Sun Yat-sen as the provisional president of the new Provisional Republic of China, the abdication of the last Qing dynasty emperor Puyi on 12 February 1912, and Yuan Shikai becoming the new provisional president in Beijing on 10 March 1912.
Painter,
Sculpture, AND
Socialist
(1881-1973)
Pablo Picasso painted the famous Guernica, which shows the German bombing of that city during the Spanish Civil War. He co-founded the Cubist style of painting, which revolutionized art in Europe in the early 20th century. Much of his work is associated with antifascist and antiwar themes. He was also a lifelong member of the French Communist Party. He said, “I am a Communist and my painting is Communist painting.”
His first major political work was The Dream and Lie of Franco, which depicts the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco bringing ruin to Spain. These drawings were meant to help raise funds for the Spanish Republican government, which was fighting the fascist Franco. He was also opposed to American intervention in Korea and made a painting called Massacre in Korea which depicts a firing squad of gunning down civilians. Although Picasso was a lifelong member of the Communist Party.
Pablo Picasso, the revolutionary and fertile genius from Malaga
He wrote to a French daily newspaper the following:
"I would have liked better to have replied to you by means of a picture. I am not a writer, but since it is not very easy to send my colours by cable, I am going to try to tell you.’ ‘My membership of the Communist Party is the logical consequence of my whole life, of my whole work. For, I am proud to say, I have never considered painting as an art of simple amusement, of recreation; I have wished, by drawing and by colour, since those are my weapons, to reach ever further into an understanding of the world and of men, in order that this understanding might bring us each day an increase in liberation; I have tried to say, in my own way, that which I considered to be truest, most accurate, best, and this was naturally always the most beautiful, as the greatest artists know well. Yes, I am aware of having always struggled by means of my painting, like a genuine revolutionary. But I have come to understand, now, that that alone is not enough; these years of terrible oppression have shown me that I must fight not only through my art, but with all of myself. And so, I have come to the Communist Party without the least hesitation, since in reality I was with it all along. Aragon, Eluard, Cassou, Fougeron, all my friends know well; if I have not joined officially before now, it has been through ‘innocence’ of a sort, because I believed that my work and my membership at heart were sufficient; but it was already my Party. Is it not the Communist Party which works the hardest to know and to construct the world, to render the men of today and tomorrow clearer-headed, freer, happier? Is it not the Communists who have been the most courageous in France as in the USSR or in my own Spain? How could I have hesitated? For fear of committing myself? But on the contrary I have never felt freer, more complete! And then I was in such a hurry to rediscover a home country: I have always been an exile, now I am one no longer; until the time when Spain may finally receive me, the French Communist Party has opened its arms to me; there I have found all that which I most value: the greatest scholars, the greatest poets, and all those beautiful faces of Parisian insurgents" - Pablo Picasso
Published in L’Humanite, 29-30 October 1944
"What ideology - both subjectively and objectively - did he represent? What are the advocates of realism in the arts to make of Picasso's love of gross anatomical distortions? How do most people react to his, perhaps most famous work - Guernica - and what does it signify? And finally, what was his relation to the Communist Party" -
A poll was conducted recently on what the masses of Wintercrest thought on the current path that the government is taking. Not many cared to give their opinion, but it's generally accepted that the overall leadership abilities has the support of the people.
It's also a obvious conclusion that the RPC and State Council will need to finishing the pressing reforms, and start moving on to more regional action if Wintercrest is to lead ahead with its most potential output.
Today we will be showing you an interview made between two nations: the Coalition of The Independent States of Allied Forces, the Defense District Governor of the Glorious People's Republic of Wintercrest which is the interviewed nation, and the Marxist-Leninist Federation of International Union of Soviet Republics, the Information District Governor of the same region, which is the interviewer. In here the reader will have a deeper insight about the nation's general information, the Diversity that Wintercrest stands for and defends and it is accompanied by some tips for the newcomers in the future:
The I.U.S.R.: How did you start in NationStates?
The I.S.A.F.: This particular nation is only 3 years old, but I've been on NS for little over 4 years. I joined because at the time, I was fixated on joining games where you'd be able to build and create your own nation as well as roleplay as them.
The I.U.S.R.: What were you thinking when modeling your own nation?
The I.S.A.F.: My current nation (The ISAF) is based off of the Independent States Allied Force from the Bandai Namco game Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies and you'll find that almost all of my puppet nations take a little bit from the Ace Combat series.
The I.U.S.R.: When and how did you find this region?
The I.S.A.F.: To be honest? I don't know, it had to have been a recruitment telegram though (although I've searched through just about all of my puppets and have not been able to find the telegram... hm.), but it was about 3 years (I think just after I had founded the ISAF) ago.
The I.U.S.R.: Why you decided to join, what inspired you to do so and for how long have you been in here?
The I.S.A.F.: I was looking for a chill community to vibe in and Wintercrest is exactly that. Very welcoming region, I felt right at home and was able to easily come in and take part of what was going on.
The I.U.S.R.: If you have to choose some influential people that inspired you in your way until now, which ones would you choose? (you can list them).
The I.S.A.F.:
1) John F. Kennedy
2) Barack Obama
3) Me
The I.U.S.R.: What's your most important objective in Wintercrest now?
The I.S.A.F.: Getting the government of Wintercrest back up and running. Right now we are having tremendous success with that, but I can say with the changes that are coming soon, it'll be more important than ever to stay active and keep on marching forward. Another aspect that ties into this is the recruitment factor, we need to get more people and we them to be active.
The I.U.S.R.: Besides NationStates, what ideological standpoint do you consider you're being part of?
The I.S.A.F.: Like I say to anyone who asks me this, I don't necessarily label myself politically, I find ideologies to be too constricting and it makes me feel restrained. Obviously, I am a leftist, but you usually won't hear me saying "Oh, I'm a democratic socialist" or "I'm a environmental marxist" and whatnot.
The I.U.S.R.: What would you do to increase both the quantity of members and the amount of fun in Wintercrest?
The I.S.A.F.: Well, you need members to have fun so recruit, recruit, recruit. Telegrams, kicking down doors, tracking IP addresses to get people to j-
Ah hahah.
No, but recruitment and the various methods that go along with it are key. Obviously, making sure they stay active is a must as well. I like to actually DM (Discord) or telegram if they've been active and then suddenly disappear, to make sure they're doing alright. Wintercrest cares about her citizens.
The I.U.S.R.: How's your experience been so far in here?
The I.S.A.F.: It's honestly been amazing, I wasn't what to expect when i came here, whether nor not I'd actually stay or move to another region, but the community is amazing, it's close and tight-knit but also very welcoming to outsiders (unless you're a asshole in which case, good luck). I'm proud to know everyone and also am very glad of the positive impact I've had on this region.
The I.U.S.R.: What would you say/recommend to people both on NationStates and Discord in our region, that either decides to make a country or has been going through similar experiences?
The I.S.A.F.: Just chill.
I've seen alot (though not as much as other people) and have been through alot. Try to remember that it's just a game and don't let it get to you personally. I had trouble with that a year ago and it caused me to self-exile myself in another region until I realized I was being stupid. I am glad I was welcomed back with open arms, but you might not be so lucky.
So really, it's 3 things:
2) Have fun
3) Don't be a fascist.
A little sidenote I.S.A.F. wanted to say: I'd like to thank IUSR and all of Wintercrest for this opportunity to be interviewed. I look forward to seeing this region progress even further. As always please remember,
Be nice to your neighbors. They know where you live.
A sidenote from the I.U.S.R., with some collaboration of the Revolutionary Leader Morograd and the Diplomacy District Governor The confederated socialist states : With this interview we will be clarifying things and showing that Wintercrest is a welcoming community which doesn't focus only on ideology. We will remain faithful to it, since its core foundation has been laid upon us not only by the gracious leadership of our Revolutionary Mothers, Zenny and Piper, but also our citizenry, where the nations that stand for the Motherland will be rewarded for their continuous efforts, their valuable help when needed, the unconditional support, and the invaluable knowledge that our daily neighbors give us in order to progress, to see our own mistakes and learn from them, to become stronger, and become unified not only by interests, not only because we are representing an unique section of Mankind that stands for democratic values and listening to the people's diverse voices and thoughts, but also an ongoing civilization that brings us brighter days that could be a rewarding feeling simply from the essence of being alive.
