The New British Imperialist Party - Manifesto
http://www.simonlevack.com/union%20flag.gif
Welcome to the New British Imperialist Party manifesto, old boy. It's absolutely spiffing to see you, wotwot! Throughout this manifesto I'll do my best to convince you of the benefits to nationstates that would come from the site moving into the light of Britannic civilisation, wot!
Key Points
1) The drinking of tea is mandatory. Any member of NationStates who does not drink at least one cup every 12 hours will get a jolly good talking to! 'Coffee' is banned.
2) Watching (and waving a Union Flag during) the Last Night of the Proms is compulsorary.
3) Anyone from a former part of the British Empire is to be referred to as a "damn colonial".
4) Anyone not from a former part of the British Empire or Britain is to be referred to as a "damn foreigner".
5) The manufacture of tweed jackets, bowler hats and umbrellas is to be subsidised.
6) NationStates shall invest vast sums of money into building a Royal Navy.
7) The word "Empire" must be pronounced "Emparh" with reference to the British Empire.
8) Only the Union Flag, the flag of Scotland, the flag of England or the flag of a Commonwealth Realm may be chosen for your national flag.
9) All national mottos must include "Rule Britannia" or "God Save the Queen".
10) All national currencies must be the "<something> Pound".
11) Instead of warnings, forum bans or deletions, the primary method of enforcing NS rules will be to send in a gunboat.
12) Celebrating the battles of Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo is compulsorary on pain of removal of tea rations.
13) An official moratorium is to be put in place upon the phrases "Well done" and "Congratulations". Instead, the phrase "Jolly good show!" must be used.
14) It is compulsory to moan about the "bloody weather" at least once per day, or at any time when noticing the bloody weather.
15) NationStates is to apply for Commonwealth membership and recognise the Queen as head of state.
Now that that's over, you can all go out and jolly well vote for me, wot! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447132)

(Clears throat and talks loudly)
"Why yes, it would be a most spiffing opportunity to work with our Germanic friends, may we both move forward and spread the wonderous fruits of British...British and Germanic imperialism! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Oh yes, and can I join this fine old party, being the aged gentleman I am, I am a man of taste and hereby require a party of similar etiquette."

Huzzah for Britannia!"

15) NationStates is to apply for Commonwealth membership and recognise the Queen as head of state. I agree, except for 4 and 15. We must call them "Johnny Foreigner" most of the time, only "damn foreigner" or "damn foreign blighters" if we're fighting them at the moment.
The Queen is also the Empress of the colonies, remember.
Oh yes, and "bloody" is sometimes pronounced "bladdy".

1. The drinking of tea shall be mandatory, colonial drinks such as “coffee” are strictly prohibited. Tea shall be drunk at the following times Breakfast, Tiffin, Luncheon (in winter and autumn) and any times when one is thirsty and there is a possibility of a brew. Tea shall be referred to as either tea or char.

Correction; Churchill was a great wartime leader who inspired the people of Britain to victory against the fascist scum that sought to turn the world into a SIEG HEIL Concert. He did what was neccessary for his country to make sure it wasn't overrun by the Nazi imperialists.

Imperialism is imperialism no matter which nation runs it.

"And to all the fellows interested in joining, pop down to my manor house in the countryside for a spot of tea, crumpets and scones! With jam and marmalade, I do pray it goes swimmingly well."

The New British Imperialist Party - Manifesto
http://www.simonlevack.com/union%20flag.gif
Welcome to the New British Imperialist Party manifesto, old boy. It's absolutely spiffing to see you, wotwot! Throughout this manifesto I'll do my best to convince you of the benefits to nationstates that would come from the site moving into the light of Britannic civilisation, wot!
Key Points
1) The drinking of tea is mandatory. Any member of NationStates who does not drink at least one cup every 12 hours will get a jolly good talking to! 'Coffee' is banned.
2) Watching (and waving a Union Flag during) the Last Night of the Proms is compulsorary.
3) Anyone from a former part of the British Empire is to be referred to as a "damn colonial".
4) Anyone not from a former part of the British Empire or Britain is to be referred to as a "damn foreigner".
5) The manufacture of tweed jackets, bowler hats and umbrellas is to be subsidised.
6) NationStates shall invest vast sums of money into building a Royal Navy.
7) The word "Empire" must be pronounced "Emparh" with reference to the British Empire.
8) Only the Union Flag, the flag of Scotland, the flag of England or the flag of a Commonwealth Realm may be chosen for your national flag.
9) All national mottos must include "Rule Britannia" or "God Save the Queen".
10) All national currencies must be the "<something> Pound".
11) Instead of warnings, forum bans or deletions, the primary method of enforcing NS rules will be to send in a gunboat.
12) Celebrating the battles of Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo is compulsorary on pain of removal of tea rations.
13) An official moratorium is to be put in place upon the phrases "Well done" and "Congratulations". Instead, the phrase "Jolly good show!" must be used.
14) It is compulsory to moan about the "bloody weather" at least once per day, or at any time when noticing the weather.
15) NationStates is to apply for Commonwealth membership and recognise the Queen as head of state.
Now that that's over, you can all go out and jolly well vote for me, wot!
God Save the Queen!
Current Loyal Britons!

What you're doing is trolling, DHomme. Your pictures have absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand, so knock it off immediately. This is not a political debate.
Speaking of thread ownership, which you have mentioned before, the original poster has every right to let you know that you're steering the thread into an off-topic, which you have done. Thread ownership in General may not be as strict as in the RP sections, but nevertheless, the thread starter still has some say. You can't just post whatever you want, wherever you want.

Just out of interest, do the tycoons in the NBIP strongly uphold the values of Lassez-Faire i.e. no unions, the bosses control all etc., or are you attempting a more social policy e.g. letting the workers have a meal every four days instead of 10?

Well of course, only very fat people who smoke too many cigars will be allowed to own businesses, but we generally feel that unions are optional. We wont ban them, but if they get too Bolshy we fully support cavalry charges to sort 'em out, wot wot!
PS. Lassez-faire =/= banning unions. Get yer ideologies right!

Old bean, where can one join this party? Being a Englishman and patriotic, I believe that it is my duty to God and the Queen to join this party.
