We mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country.
Long live the King.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
and let Your perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
rest in peace.
Amen.
God save the Queen, long live the King.
Kingdinium and Edmontonensis
A hearty welcome to the latest member of the empire: 
Great Britain and Northhern Ireland!
Welcome to the British Empire.
Welcome back! We all go through an interregnum from time to time.
The most visible change for most people is the national anthem changing and of course the money bearing the head of a new monarch! Overall, I don't think the effects are too pronounced for the vast majority of the population. I am sure the coronation will be a special and memorable event for many, however.
I tried making us a map after the feature update. I can't figure it out. Someone else feel free to take a crack at it.
A relevant update for those regions who find themselves without a founder: page=news/2023/04/18/index.html
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Are we able to designate a governor seeing as we have no founder to do so initially? Or do we still need to rely on a delegate.
I am uncertain.
Purely out of curiosity, where do we all tend to stand politically? British loyalism and patriotism is probably an obvious thing in common, it's interesting to see what else correlates with that
I vacillate between pure free market economic social libertarianism being the best form of government, and recognizing the ills of an unchecked plutocracy that is keeping the rest of us from being able to afford bread and medicine. Depends on how good my most recent paycheque was ;)
The core tenants that remain the same are support for some manner of monarchy supported by Catholic political theory. As a relic of pre-“enlightenment” philosophy this is a position that wins few friends in the current era.
I can sympathise with that, even during my long years as a socialist I always had a Ron Paul moment whenever being charged VAT (e.g. on Steam games) lol
Nowadays, I subscribe to some sort of mixture of Georgism and Austrian economics whilst trying to accommodate my social democratic instincts (i.e. try and enable the poor to just buy what they need health and education-wise)
Your comments on monarchy are interesting, is monarchy required/recommended by Catholic political theory? I like the monarchy in a sort of Glorious Revolution sense that it acts as a dignified backbone to the nitty-gritty of Parliamentary government. If Parliament were to lose all sense and try and pass a King Herod's law, I feel like I'd approve of the monarch withholding assent from Parliament, for example.
I've done the flop between anarcho-communist, Randian libertarianism, atheism, Taoism, Buddhism, and any number of ideologies, philosophies, and other -ies. My past self would find my mind and soul finally coming home to the Church and adopting her philosophies odd, to say the least. But I, too, could not reconcile with the values of modern society. Now, I'm an intellectual luddite espousing the virtues of philosophers many centuries old to my family, who try to emulate the Kardashians. I'm sure they find me as strange as I find them.
Hello chaps and chapette's! This is Edmontonensis. I've been experimenting with AI technology and have decided to co-manage a nation alongside an AI to observe its decision-making processes. 
Luxaurea represents this unique experiment in human-AI political collaboration. I'm planning to move Luxaurea into the The British Empire region. I just wanted to inform everyone that this is an alternate account associated with Edmontonensis.
Hello, I'm just confirming that this is indeed my alternate account.
Hello everyone! Has anyone figured out the logic behind the "Recent Headlines" that appear after resolving an "Issue"? To me, they often seem random, and I'm unsure about what triggers them. For instance, how should I interpret headlines like "Lightning Strikes Abandoned Cabin," "Parks Infested With Joggers, Dog-Walkers Complain," or "Luxaureans Soak Up Super Summer"? I've noticed that the same headlines recur frequently. Do these headlines have any connection to the "Recent Trends" displayed at the bottom of the resolved issue page? I haven't discerned any clear correlation. While it's not a pressing concern, I'm curious because I've been a member of this site for nearly two decades and this aspect still puzzles me.
I think it's a mix of nonsense and tenuous unintended consequences... I've often thought 'Unintended consequences' could be a tagline for NationStates (and real life politics!) lol
That is one of my favourite components of the game. I agonize over the least terrible choice and then no matter what it was the wrong one lol.
