I would like to see what you all think.

The Revival of the Space Programs

REAFFIRMING that is time to revive the Space program and make it the most funded program on Earth in space;

REALIZING that there are other things that are important but it is time for humanity to realize its full potential ;

CALLS UPON that all nations will help with this as it is a united effort. We are not one nation or person but we are species and race;

REQUESTING
1. That all nations must have a space program if they don't have one already;
2. There will be a new agency called U.E.S.A. (United Earth Space Agency).It will coencide with all rules stated by U.N.S.C.( United Nations Space Consortium).
3. UESA shall have Ten Men and Ten Woman on a planet similar to Earth or Mars in Forty Years that is out of our solar system and that colonization on Mars and the Moon will be happening within the next fifthteen years.
4. Finally the headquarters of the UESA will be the tallest building in world with a statue of man reaching for the sky.

SEEKING new things, new planets and civilizations is what we are. When it boils down to it we are a adventurous and exploratory race. It is in our blood to be curious about things we have never heard of or seen. It is time we finally go where no one has gone before.

I would like to see what you all think.

Should be real fun.

The Revival of the Space Programs

REAFFIRMING that is time to revive the Space program and make it the most funded program on Earth in space;

It already is. Some nations, including my own, spend billions on it. Of course, we're building weapons and warships, so bad example.

But, I like the idea.

REALIZING that there are other things that are important but it is time for humanity to realize its full potential;

Space won't help. I've seen how humans act in space. It's no different than on Earth.

CALLS UPON that all nations will help with this as it is a united effort. We are not one nation or person but we are species and race;

Not all of us are human. In fact, a large number of us aren't. My nation doesn't have a single human in them (unless you count that recent Earth territory resulting from Nergal changing history). The people in my nation happen to be of a related species, though they are related to humans much like humans are related to chimpanzees. So, I guess we may be close enough to count.

However, Earth is not entirely humans. It's far from it. Try including them as well.

REQUESTING
1. That all nations must have a space program;

Yay! More satellites to shoot down and ships to crash into! Just try to look before you launch and watch out for the orbital minefields some mejnot decided were a lovely addition to Earth.

2. There will be a new agency called U.E.S.A. (United Earth Space Agency).It will coencide with all rules stated by U.N.S.C. (United Nations Space Consortium).

Another useless committee.

3. UESA shall have men and woman on a planet similar to Earth or Mars in Forty Years that is out of our solar system and that colonization on Mars and the Moon will be happening within the next fifthteen years.

1) You're decades too late.

2) The Mars government may object to this. Try asking them if they mind you landing in their territory.

3) Those with lunar colonies may object to this.

4) The only planets similar to Earth within reach are already occupied. If you shoot for 3000 lightyears away, you may find one, but then you have to deal with me for violating my space. Might want to ask around and see if people know of unoccupied planets before setting this as a goal.

4. Finally the headquarters of the UESA will be the tallest building in world with a statue of man reaching for the sky.

What is up with people and statues, anyway?

SEEKING new things, new planets and civilizations is what we are. When it boils down to it we are a adventurous and exploratory race. It is in our blood to be curious about things we have never heard of or seen. It is time we finally go where no one has gone before.

You're leaving the Multiverse? Wow!

If you wish to meet alien civilizations, pay attention to Earth Orbit sometime. Aliens visit, and sometimes have wars near, Earth all of the time. I've been involved in quite a few Earth conflicts and I am not alone in that. You don't have to have a space agency to meet aliens from other planets.

It is a good idea, but you need to take the FT nations and nations already ahead of you into account.

Your weird.

We agree with DLE.

Lady Desdemona of Merwell,
Senior UN representative,

Delegate to The Order of The Valiant States,

I had some problems with that:

3. UESA shall have men and woman on a planet similar to Earth or Mars in Forty Years that is out of our solar system and that colonization on Mars and the Moon will be happening within the next fifthteen years.
this too much sexualism, many men and only one woman?
for what? for cooking, cleaning and other?
if you make that plan, at least keep equal amount of men and women.

Well the statue is a man.

Giordano,
UN representative,
The Black New World

I consulted with my staff and there will be ten men and ten woman. They will represent twenty different countries.

Now about the statue. That is right it will be a man. That is only because men were dominant when astonomy was first started. It is unfourante but it is how it is. You can thank the Catholic church for that one.

But I thought we where looking onwards, upwards, and ahead to the future.

Oh, and patriarchy existed before Catholicism.

Hypatia of Alexandria, anyone? She has a good story.

This is all I have to say about this proposal: o.O

To: Glorious Leader, The Nation of Great Agnostica
From: Jason Johnson, Information Minister

The Holy Empire of Shazbotdom has a space program already. We are preparing another launch for the middle of July, just shortly after our glorious Emporer's Birthday. The launch will use the newly built X-87 rocket system. It uses fuels that put out only 1 part per trillion of greenhouse causing gasses. We are not quite prepared to use nuclear reactors in our space vehicles due to the recent explosion at a nuclear power plant in a desert region of our nation.


When a date is set for the launch, we will send invites to any and all nations who wish to attend.

OOC: I fix it.

Your weird.

What do you expect from a country whose native species is two evolutions away from humanity (in the more advanced direction), is still mostly tribal despite decades of being held together, had to create the majority of their societal standards very recently, is led by an advanced android from an extinct people, has citizens that only exist inside computers (literally), has a national animal that has a bad tendency of using cars as toilets (part of why they were phased out), and is very expansionist and even more in the territorial area.

Yes, I'm FT. But I also have one of my territories in the UN, and that territory is also FT.

All I'm trying to do is make sure the FT nations, many of whom have already done all of that or even much more, are included in the considerations of the proposal. If not, you could be sparking quite a few wars between nations who sometimes have weapons capable of turning Earth to dust and nations from Earth who didn't take 20 minutes to find out whether or not they were landing in populated territory.

OOC I didn't know it is okay to put aliens into the picture. I thought you only use people.

What do you expect from a country whose native species is two evolutions away from humanity (in the more advanced direction).

What do I expect? Well, that their science is seriously lagging behind, conceited or the public are simply ignorant of what biological evolution means. According to the naturalistic model, there is no "direction" to evolution since it is a process that only answers to immediate needs.

OOC: Under general usage of the term, aliens are people too.

Uh, you seriously misread what I meant. I meant that Sarkarasetans are an evolution of an evolution of humanity. As in humans evolved and Sarkarasetans evolved from that.

And if there is no direction in evolution, then they have a lot of explaining to do about how most life on the planet came to exist. After all, there are quite a few evolutions that happened that are not strictly needed immediately and under all models of Earth's history were never strictly needed immediately. Or, they could just accept the fact we actually have no clue exactly why the process has worked in the ways it has and that science is currently ill-equipped to answer that question without first discovering time travel.

Well we must revive the space programs.

Go ahead. Just watch out to make sure you're satellites are not shot down. I've caught a few of my military personel doing that in annoyance.

What is the name of your nation?

The Most Serene Republic of DemonLordEnigma.

It happens to be the controlling nation of the DemonLordEnigma Empire.

I can't seem to find it on the world page.

Just use "DemonLordEnigma" for searching. Drop the quotation marks.
