Vergeet niet om je bij de Fok!-regio aan te melden.

quote:

The Emirate of Zazzizi is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, cynical population of 742 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

People who are terrified of needles are torn between their phobia and free health care, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, and a vast monorail network carries people all over the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zazzizi's national animal is the homo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the travestiet.

Zazzizi is ranked 2nd in the region and 10,500th in the world for Most Comprehensive Public Healthcare.

quote:

The People's Republic of Elmario is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Retail.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Elmario's national animal is the lion and its currency is the florijn.

quote:

The Republic of Koffemania is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming industries.

Crime is a serious problem. Koffemania's national animal is the pinguin and its currency is the gulden.

Eh, regio Fok! is overgenomen door buitenstaanders!

Bende nations verhuizen naar onze regio, bende van 6 nations kiest met 5 endorsements een van hen als UN Delegate (we hebben ook geen stichter meer, dus vrij spel). Ben benieuwd of die vreemdeling onze nations uit Fok! gaan schoppen/bannen. De vreemde UN Delegate is qua power een 'minnow', dus kan degenen die er al langer zitten niet uittrappen.

Wat wij Fok!kers in die regio kunnen doen: kies massaal 1 originele Fok!nation (bijvoorbeeld: New Croutonia). Als die meer dan 5 endorsements krijgt, probeert ie die invallers te bannen.

FOK FALLS TO DEN

The notorious raiding troops of DEN showed the world their skill with a clean, swift take over of Fok.
With no fenda resistance Meri was endorsed and became delegate without a hitch as DEN proved why they cannot be stopped in Nation States no matter what the international community may think.
With more raids promised to come DEN is sending out a clear message it cannot and will not be stopped in it's tracks.

History will record The DEN as the most notorious, well-organized and disciplined raider army ever to grace the battlefield, founded on the 27th of February 2004.

DEN, because we can.

Als je lid bent van de UN, kan je iemand die ook lid is van de UN in dezelfde region een endorsement geven, dan kies je samen met anderen diegene om als UN-delegate te fungeren. Ook kan je regionale UN-delegate nations bannen uit de regio.

Zo kan je ook samen met een heleboel nations van de ene regio naar de andere verhuizen, een van hen endorsen en de refio in feite overnemen.

Your nation was ejected from Fok by What We All Need. It has been relocated to the Rejected Realms.

Hi there Koffemania, I can see that you've been ejected. Now I don't care what for, that's not what this is about. I am here to offer you friendship, and a new home. UNFR, its a region that welcomes all comers as long as they follow the rules.

We need new members of all kinds, to help us rebuild the region.

Where's The Love Gone?

The Issue
Last night the respected tabloid TV show "60 Minutes" ran a report on Koffemania's rising divorce rate. What is happening to the nuclear family?

The Debate
"There's a simple solution," says Pastor Felix, of the Catholic Church. "Divorce should be illegal. 'For better or worse,' anyone remember how that goes? We should return to the good old days, when you got married for life and stuck by your partner no matter how much of a drunken, abusive, adulterating disappointment they turned out to be."
[Accept]


John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution. "If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse 'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."
[Accept]


"There's a simple way to boost the marriage rate," says gay rights activist Calvin Nagasawa. "Abolish those arcane laws that discriminate against same-sex marriages. It's obscene to treat people differently because of their sexual preference. Besides, everyone knows gay relationships are more stable than straight ones."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue

Raise Duel Standards, Say Fencers

The Issue

A number of well-dressed gentlemen wearing a varied assortment of swords is insisting that they be allowed to settle their private disputes on the field of honourable battle.
The Debate

1. "We must be permitted our inherent right to defend our honour through feats of arms!" exclaims Hope Mistletoe, a bewigged aristocrat sporting a particularly flamboyant swept-hilt rapier. "The right to duel is one found throughout history for the honourable settling of disputes and I must insist that my right to fight be recognised! The world would be so much better - and cheaper too - if conflicts of interest were sorted through trial by combat instead of trial by jury."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

2. "Swords? Heavens, what dreadful things. All sharp and pointy - quite dangerous, you know," says Alexei Jong-Il, an ardent pacifist. "Duelling ought to be banned! The best way to settle these kind of arguments are through trials, we all know that. If we go ahead with what these duelling nutters want then innocent people will die! It will be a sad day when people value money more than justice. Apart from lawyers, obviously."

Laatste update:

What We All Need (DEN): 7 vs New Croutonia (Fok!): 5 endorsements

Er zijn niet veel Fok!kers meer die lid zijn van de UN, diegenen die over blijven zijn inactief.

Ik heb daarom ook endorsements gegeven aan degenen die mij ge-endorsed hebben. Hopelijk groeit zo de regionale kracht van ons verbond. Maar we hebben meer originele Fok!nations nodig die lid worden van de UN, liefst die al in de regio zitten, want die gaylords van DEN schoppen iedereen die de regio in wilt komen uit.
