Map (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i156/UNDComrade/Yanitaria/NovusUniversitas.png)

Novus Universitas is an active II region who's members hope to integrate their histories closely. If you are an experienced nation on II, and would like to join, please post a request here.

If your nation is new, or if you would like to join with a puppet, and can be an active member, you may join as a micronation, such as San Castello.

Couple of rules, though:

1) You must be a decent RPer.
2) You must be relatively active on II. This means actually giving the occasional rat's ass about regional RPs. Also, you have to integrate your history into the region, and if any historical RPs come up, then you'll have to RP in them.
3) You gotta join the regional boards in order to claim any portion of the map.
4) Your nation must be approved by the general population of NU.
5) You cannot claim more than one spot on the claims map. Stok is the exception, not the rule.
6) Population density is politely ignored.
7)If at any point I feel that you haven't read the rules, or this post at all, I will simply refer you to rule #7, and ignore you until you have fixed the issue.
8) Among the full nations, only light references to RL events and places are tolerated. Seriously. Saying your nation emerged from the Soviet Union is pushing it. This rule only vaguely applies to micronations.
9) Not really a rule, but generally nations applying should have vaguely nation-like names. Sorry to those of you who thought it would be a good idea to name your nation "McAwesomeville!"
10) You must be able to distinguish OOC from IC. Major importance, there. In NU, we are all pretty good friends, and almost nothing on the boards can really be called IC. Any joking is just that, joking, and if there is any misunderstanding, you are to immediately acknowledge that it was just joking, and both parties should apologize and make efforts to get the hell over it. Or something to that effect.

If you've read the rules, then go ahead and apply:

Name of Nation:
Population, at the moment?:
Do people like your RPing?:
Are you sure? Because we can just ask:
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America):
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica):
Can you be active on II:
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?:
Describe your nation:
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?:
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer):
Are you applying for a microstate or a full state (please see second paragraph):

Question: I might want to apply, but I do have a question.

What is rudimentary flag and roundel making?

Basically, can you make a flag and a roundel for your nation that doesn't entirely suck.

Basically, can you make a flag and a roundel for your nation that doesn't entirely suck.

Oh Noes! I shall be kicked out for that!

Err, you spelt feel wrong, in the communism parameter, and what is the awnser, metric or imperial?

Oh Noes! I shall be kicked out for that!

Err, you spelt feel wrong, in the communism parameter, and what is the awnser, metric or imperial?


Yes, yes you will be. Not really, though, your flag hasn't made anyone's eyes bleed....

YET....

And I have no idea what spelling mistake you are talking about. Check it again, I have perfect spleling [sic].

Metric or Imperial? Well, one is extremely simple, and used by every country in the world except for one, and the other is confusing, arbitrary, and only used by one country because nobody there can be arsed to learn a new system.

Well, I'm a little busy what with trying to get Rodinia off the ground [/shameless plug], but if you're willing, I'd love to send a puppet of mine A. because I've no doubt it'd be enjoyable and B. I'd love to increase inter-regional relationships between our two regions. Interested?

Name of Nation: The Libertarian Union of New Umberland
Population, at the moment?: 1.279
Do people like your RPing?: I have absolutely no idea. I hope that they do...
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Vontanas, or some of the other LION members.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): None in particular. I guess you could say any nation at first run by a tyrannical dictatorship which then had a libertarian revolution.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): Personally, I have no objection to it, although I believe there are better systems. ICly, NU is fine with communists.
Can you be active on II: Definetly.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: Yes. I'd love to use this as an opportunity to expand upon Umberlandish history, if at all possible.
Describe your nation: New Umberland was a small but aggressive dictatorship which felt a revolution when its population hit 500 million and overthrew the regime. They are now a Libertarian miniarchist state, with just a semblance of government. While not as aggressive as their tyrannical counterparts, the New Umberlandish people will actively fight those who they believe are violating the basic rights of people and democracy.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: Flag making, yes. I generally use says-it for roundels, but I could design a good one if necessary.
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer) I can use either, but to save my ass I'll say metric.

Name of Nation: The Imperial Republic of Greal (Greal is not Imperialist, I just like the name Imperial, I'll change it next week or something.)
Population, at the moment?: 2.109 billion
Do people like your RPing?: Not sure, I started off pretty badly, but since then I guess you could say I improved.
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Sure, ask TPF, or LS.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): None really, various nations put together into Greal.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): Not really good, Greal people do not like it.
Can you be active on II: Yes
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: I could edit my history.
Describe your nation: Greal became independent hundreds of years ago, and had a few wars, but had peace for a hundred years, until a dictator took over until a election forced them from power.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: No, I might be if I had the programs
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer): Metric most likely

Snip

Hey fax, didn't you take a nuke in your main nation from Gens Romae?

In any case, I don't think you'll have any problem. I put in on the forums for a general consent.

Snip

Don't worry about the flag and roundel, a couple of us has some degree of skill with photoshop, and if anything, I'll set aside some time and help you out.

I've posted on the forums, and we'll see if you get general consent.

I did, but I was under the impression the whole conflict was ignored and retconned sometime around the time he called in Jesus, so... Anyway, glad to hear it. Hope I get in.

I did, but I was under the impression the whole conflict was ignored and retconned sometime around the time he called in Jesus, so... Anyway, glad to hear it. Hope I get in.

I thought so. I would have retconned the moment he started spamming nukes, and I do have respect for actually sticking with it through that and taking the nuke.

And you don't need to hope that you get in, it's not like we are an elitist club that only accepts you if your daddy was a senator. Most likely I'll tg you the password tonight. Same with Greal.

Just to be clear though, your puppet will be a micronation, but not quite. If you'll look at the map, there is a nation called Anglia, which is about the size your puppet will be on the map.

Actually, if you particularly like Anglia's spot, Anglia wants to move westward, so you can have it. Oh, and you'll be wanting to talk to Boothby, his nation is Libertarian as well, and part of our history involves farm shipping as a form of migration.

And keep an eye on Gesford, and extremely Laissez-Faire capitalist nation that you might have philosophical similarities with (perhaps. Admittedly, I am not an expert on minarchism).

Thanks for the compliment. I figured that he would maybe attempt to make it a passable roleplay. Silly me.

Wait... You mean I don't need to have relations in congress to be allowed in? I thought Novus Universitas was a region for the sons and daughters of members of the House of Representatives... Thanks for the reassurance. looking forward to the move.

I'm good pretty much anywhere, as long as NU's land is all on one area. I'm weird like that. Vis-a-vis Boothby and Gesford, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on them as potential friends of the Umberlandish...

Before I fill out the full application I need to know one thing.

Does that the fact that I don't have Photoshop and completely suck at drawing stuff disqualify me? If so it's no big deal, just curious before I apply.

Snip

Let me clarify: You don't have to be a blood relative of a member of congress.

Before I fill out the full application I need to know one thing.

Does that the fact that I don't have Photoshop and completely suck at drawing stuff disqualify me? If so it's no big deal, just curious before I apply.

Not at all, we can help you with your flag and stuff if you need it.

Imperial all the way. The metric system would through every thing off.

Name of Nation: Oscalantine
Population, at the moment?: 5 million.... I just restarted
Do people like your RPing?: More than you think.... I do RP everywhere.. I just hope I'm good enough for all you people
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Pretty much... asking around won't do much.... but ask anyways. Stoklomolvi will give it to you straight that I'm a decent Rper
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: Well, sure..... I don't mind at all. Just keep me from going insane with nukes XD
What time period or country is your nation based on: My vision and hopes for Korea in the future... around 2100's.
How do you feel about communism?: I don't mind much about the Cold war.... but I don't like the idea of "Let everyone be poor"... so I don't like communism
Can you be active on II: II as in NationstatesII? Or is it something else? I'll be active both in Nationstates and here, so no worries
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: Yes I am... but tell me when to, because I don't think this is right place to say it.
Describe your nation: Your typical Utopia where Empress rules the world.... yes, I said Empress... Limited Freedom to all, but Equal chance of success to everyone... My nation chose Bread and money over Freedom and Liberty, because we couldn't handle the freedom and liberty we worked so hard to earn.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: does my flag in NS give you an idea? I can't make professional flags that look too good to be true, but I can make flags
Metric or Imperial? Imperial All the way! Imperialism, WHOOOO

*Kicks Beatus*

Hey Fax, Greal. Glad to have you/ Or your Puppet here.

I wouldn't say lack of photoshop skills will disqualify you. I mean, look at me, I suck at it, yet I'm here.

I'm hiding in the southwest corner, nice and safe in my socialist dreams.

All right then.

Name of Nation: Commonwealth of Tolvan
Population, at the moment?: I RP with a pop of about 1 billion
Do people like your RPing?: Never had any complaints
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Works for me
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: Cool
What time period or country is your nation based on: Imagine New Zealand, but larger and ran by a center-right party for the last 200 years
How do you feel about communism?: Tolvan is staunchly capitalist, but I don't invade/destabilize communist states without good reason
Can you be active on II: II as in NationstatesII? Sure, I'm usually on everyday
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: Yes, that's the main reason I'm interested
Describe your nation: Tolvan is a democratic republic with a universal suffrage at age 18. Elections are free, though the Conservative Party has been the dominating force in Tolvanic politics for decades. Tolvanic law is influenced by libertarian prinicples (marijuana is legal but regulated, citizens can bear arms, etc.). Tolvanic foreign policy is somewhat isolationist, the Commonwealth only acts when it or its vital interests are threatened. The Tolvanic military is small (in relation to my population) is well-equipped and highly trained.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: I can proably whip some decent stuff up in MS Paint, but don't expect anything awesome
Metric or Imperial? Mostly Metric, but some Imperial measurements do slip in from time to time (I am American after all)

Snip

Sure thing, but I am going to post on the forums asking for general consent.

Imperial GTFO. Metric is way better.

Snip

Sure thing Tolvan, I'll tg you when you get general consent.

OOC: Do we choose where to get added to the map? or.....

If anyone in NU needs help making flags or roundels, I'm pretty well versed with both Adobe Photoshop and The Gimp.

OOC: Do we choose where to get added to the map? or.....

Yes, but you know that now. I am simply answering this for anyone else.

Do you know of any Regional RPs going on?

We are about to have a World War RP set in the years 1930 through 1941, but other than that it's mostly organizing our histories, and improving them.

Name of Nation: United Socialist States of Nosorepažau
Population, at the moment?: I RP with a pop of about 1 billion
Do people like your RPing?: I think so,no one has violently hated one of my RPs
Are you sure? Because we can just ask:yea ask Kirav or Neo-Ixania

Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?:[B/]Nope I don't have the programs for it:(
[B]Metric or Imperial? Metric

I see, I guess I'll use German equipment.

I've posted your request on the forums.

Thanx. Um,is there a link to the forum?

Join the region, its on the top of the region page.

You only get access to the forum once you've been approved to join the region

Ok,Will you PM me if I'm accepted,please?

How did I not know this thread existed?

I'll send a puppet of mine.

Name of Nation: The Dominion of Ugolahn City
Population, at the moment?: Less than 10 million.
Do people like your RPing?: Well, I do, and as leader of that country, that's all that really matters.
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Ask them. But remember that I answer for all of my people.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): Current time; alternate universe, for sake of argument.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): We're not Communist. No real opinion in the matter.
Can you be active on II: Surely.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: The best I can, sure.
Describe your nation: First territory in the Empire of ka-Spel, lead by Sir Damien Riso with the focus of the city on military affairs.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: Actually, not at all.
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer): Metric, naturally.

When you mean alternate universe, you mean one where RL nations don't exist, right?

Also, the puppet has to be it's own nation, not just a province of your main.

I PMed you Yanitaria.

Name of Nation: The Confederacy of Erislal
Population, at the moment: 451 million (for rp's sake, I would prefer a bit less, but that's the official count)
Do people like your RPing?: I presume as much.
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: I haven't had many rp's, but my "Armed Vehicle Trials" MT rp has met with some polite responses, and no outrigt derision.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): Mid to late 90s Poland/Finland amalgam.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): personally, I detest it. my nation's citizens aren't fans of it per se, however they wouldn't be actively antagonistic toward it.
Can you be active on II: very much so.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: entirely.
Describe your nation: The Confederacy is a nominal association of semi-autonomous states formed after the collapse of the Theocracy of Annuos. Annuosi religious belief is still extant in the western regions of the Confederacy, but lacks serious political power (however, Annuosi militias occasionally stir up trouble with armed demonstrations; I'm hoping to have an internal rp detailing a conflict between Annuosi radicals and the rest of the state, some day).
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: I am not, unfortunately. I'm willing to work with someone who is (though I find Norway and Poland's flags quite stylish). I can see what I can try, of course.
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer): Erislal uses a two-standard system, the Old Measure (dating from the Announsi days), and the current official standard, metric.
Are you applying for a microstate or a full state (please see second paragraph): I'd love a full state, actually, as well as a place on the map if it's available.

Da, posted on the forums.

One question though, how do you feel about democratic socialism?

Nice, I have pretty much the same thing going on in the HOB.

I'm a free market capitalist, minarchist. I don't believe any other government system is actually all that moral. The prevailing belief in Erislal is largely the same, as it's a nation bound as much by free trade concerns as by anything else. I hope that answers further questions about my beliefs of other governments.

That said, I'm not against interactions with other governments in principle, because if people want to trade and dialog, who am I to stand in their way?

I'm a free market capitalist, minarchist. I don't believe any other government system is actually all that moral.

My friend, you and I will get along just fine.

I presume you've read the works of Ayn Rand?

My friend, you and I will get along just fine.

I presume you've read the works of Ayn Rand?

Indeed. I was more a fan of the Fountainhead than of Atlas Shrugged, just because I prefer protagonists who give one or two statements and then demonstrate their ideals by doing things, rather than standing around giving speeches to like-minded people every few chapters.

That said, I'm a fan of all her works.

Agreed. TF definitely made for a better novel. AS seemed very much like an epic. A looooonng epic.

Mr. McCarthy likes Anthem best.

Feel free to drop me an IM, love to chat sometime. AIM is idleyote, yahoo is nephelim_inc@yahoo.com.

...I don't believe any other government system is actually all that moral...

*Chuckle*

My Monarch is appointed by God, what could be more moral then divine right?




(I am joking)

Yadda yadda micronation.

Name of Nation: The Free State of Old Mandalay
Population, at the moment?: 870 million from NS, sharply lower ICly.
Do people like your RPing?: Well, the sane ones do.
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Erm, Picts. Maybe TWSP too.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed) lol wut
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): "Old Mandalay". I mean, really.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): I think this needs no explanation.
Can you be active on II: The question is not can, but when.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: Erm, I suppose. One of you needs to be the British Empire.
Describe your nation: Erm, it's a colonial asiatic micronation.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: Of course.
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer):None of the above. I prefer the United States customary system. I can't relate to metric as hard as I try.
Are you applying for a microstate or a full state (please see second paragraph): Microstate.

lol bump

I control An area about half the size of TPF's in Greal. Both Greal and TPF can confirm this.

Yes, we know that, and it's represented in the new map.

I control An area about half the size of TPF's in Greal. Both Greal and TPF can confirm this.

Yes, that is true.

New map (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i156/UNDComrade/Yanitaria/NovusUniversitas.png)

Jolt apparently ate my last post. We are temporarily not recruiting, until we get our histories in order.

Sorry to anyone that applied, namely Ka-spel and Aki.

You missundertsand. From what I remeber, my land was in addition to TPF's spoils. But ask greal. If my memory is correct, I'll have my land Along the coast, above TPFs.

Just leave him be.

You missundertsand. From what I remeber, my land was in addition to TPF's spoils. But ask greal. If my memory is correct, I'll have my land Along the coast, above TPFs.

OOC: Doesn't matter, it's not going up on my map. Since we left EA, I have personally decided that, for all of our sakes, it's best to just ignore the worst of the sabre rattlers.

And you really ought not to be surprised. As I recall you AU guys were going to ignore any nuclear strike, because it "wasn't fair" to use it as a deterrent. We all saw the post on the AU forums, so I don't feel the need to argue this point. You guys had decided to ignore us, so I'll do the same in turn.

If Greal wants to recognize it, fine, but I don't, and it's not going on my map. And while I can't speak for any of my region mates, I have no doubt that this sentiment is shared by at least the former NOP members.

Quite so. That includes your little alliance with NP.

I don't really care either way. Yanis can do what he wants.

I'd like to apply; are you guys recruiting at the moment?

We aren't actively recruiting, but I suppose you could join, though it's Yanis's decision.

I'll post an application here, and what will be done with it will be done with it. I should note, now, that this nation is a puppet of ka-Spel, so while I applied with one of my puppets, Ugolahn City, I'd withdraw that application (since there was never a ruling on it) and submit this one as my official app.

Name of Nation: The Kingdom of Friuli-Venezia
Population, at the moment?: 8 million, I think?
Do people like your RPing?: I haven't done a whole lot of RPing with this nation yet, because it's pretty brandy-new, but with ka-Spel, I've done much RPing, and people don't seem to have a problem with it ;-)
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Positive.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: (no response needed)
What time period or country is your nation based on (for instance, Britain in the 1920s, or 1870s Latin America): Sort of very loosely based on what the Kingdom of Venice would be like today had it not unified with Italy - except, of course, that it's also based loosely on the island of Sardinia.
How do you feel about communism? (and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica): We're not communist\, but I don't have much of an opinion on it either way.
Can you be active on II: I plan on it, duly.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: I'm sort of hoping to, because it would make my history easier to compile, frankly. Myself and Queen Charlotte already have preliminary discussions for the history of my nation involving Anglia, so I suppose I'm already half-way there.
Describe your nation: Monarchy ruled by King Pietro Candiano and La Famiglia Reale. Relatively small island in the Mediterranean (though not if I'm accepted ;-)). The economy is largely agriculturally-based and the people are highly maritime, and hence the most dense population remains on the coastlines. Though it's economy is great, it's technology and infrastructure are not; King Pietro is currently looking for outside investors to change that.
Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: Not in the slightest.
Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer): Metric, obviously.
Are you applying for a microstate or a full state (please see second paragraph): Although we're small small small, I would like to be a full state, though if I only qualify as a microstate, i suppose that would have to do.

edit: nvm I didn't see you weren't recruiting, it was for a puppet, not my main nation :P

[OOC:If Questers were to join NU, I wouldn't bother with a military.]

Any word on my application?

Sort of very loosely based on what the Kingdom of Venice would be like today had it not unified with Italy - except, of course, that it's also based loosely on the island of Sardinia.


Venice was a republic, the Most Serene Republic of Venice, or la Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia. I guess it must be quite loosely based, eh?

1. Can I get Anglia on the map? I'm still thinking on where to put it.
2. Is it acceptable to say that one day, many centuries ago, a bunch of (Medieval) English people were shipwrecked in Novus Universitas and eventually founded Anglia?

Is this meant to be completely separate from the RL Earth geographically, if so I'd be interested

Any word on my application?

Sorry, we aren't recruiting at the moment, except in special cases. We'll post something here when we are.

1. Can I get Anglia on the map? I'm still thinking on where to put it.
2. Is it acceptable to say that one day, many centuries ago, a bunch of (Medieval) English people were shipwrecked in Novus Universitas and eventually founded Anglia?

We can discuss it on the forums. 1) Yes, 2) Is you change English to some made up nationality, or something.

Is this meant to be completely separate from the RL Earth geographically, if so I'd be interested

Yes, but we aren't recruiting at the moment, except in special cases.

We could accept one more member and thats it.

Yes, but we aren't recruiting at the moment, except in special cases.

Ah, my mistake, then...

We can discuss it on the forums. 1) Yes, 2) Is you change English to some made up nationality, or something.

My nation was founded by Medieval English settlers (such as shipwrecked soldiers going on the Crusades with Richard the Lionheart) and eventually it became like an alternate England of sorts. I'm hopeful that it is acceptable as I've had fun with the concept for some time now.

Blah blah blah, recruitment open again, bump

Noted, it's up for vote.

Hey, y'all. It's Kirav. I know we got into some nasty shit, if you don't mind that, when Stok and Yanitaria were in EA, but I didn't do anything out of personal opinions, just IC expectations.

However, I quite like NU from what I've seen and heard, and I might want to give it a shot as a micronation.

Name of Nation: Regency of Kexarin
Population, at the moment?: 984 million
Do people like your RPing?: I've heard that said by many people, so yes.
Are you sure? Because we can just ask: Quite.
Alright, but we'll be keeping an eye on you: Patriot Act!
What time period or country is your nation based on? No RL nation.
How do you feel about communism?
Well, err...
(and yes, it matters. I want to avoid another cold war fueled OOC feud, like Europa Atlantica):

Heh heh...uhh...**slinks out quietly**

I think it's a failed ideology that sacrifices individual oppurtunity and liberty for the betterment of the group. I would fight bitterly against its establishment in my RL country. Or any country.

ICly, my nation is highly capitalist, and thus against it. But I won't be an ass about it. I respect your position on this ideology. You know that I'm a civilised debater, and that my microstate isn't going to do anything to offend anybody.

Can you be active on II: I am.
Are you willing to integrate your history with the nations of NU?: Certainly.
Describe your nation:
Kexarin is a prosperous, bustling microstate, like a Kiravian equivalent to Singapore and Monaco. It is an important centre for science and technology, finance, commerce, and culture. It is ruled by a Magisterium that imposes laws and policies based on Kiravic values. While civil liberties and economic freedom are barely limited at all, there is very little in the way of political voice for the common citizen of Kexarin.

Kexarin (Called Saar-Kexarin) by the country's inhabitants, is the capital, principal, and titular city, home to about 70% of the population. The remaining 30% or so live in small towns and villages of 200-100,000 people.

Most of the people in Kexarin are Kiravians or Coscivians, descended from three groups: The descendants of the original 1,000 founders, Later Kiravian immigrants, and the thousands of imported Coscivian workers that power Kexarin's booming economy. As such, Christianity and Coscivian Theism are the main religions, and Standard Coscivian is the official language.

Kexarin is famous for its three casinos: Western Sun, The Outpost, and Stone Gardens. It is also notorious for the high-energy electronica of its wild (and profitable) nightclubs.


Are you capable of rudimentary flag and roundel making?: I founded, ran, and undertook the vast majority of the work for Kirav Vexillogical systems, the immensely successful II flag storefront. Roundels? I've never done 'em, but I suppose I could try if neccessary. I don't think I'll have much of an airforce.

Metric or Imperial? (This is very important, and there is only one correct answer): Both. I prefer Imperial as it's my native system, but I can work with metric.
Are you applying for a microstate or a full state (please see second paragraph): Microstate.

Snip

Kirav, just want you to know that I never held any grudges against you, and I'll be voting to let you in.

Also, about the communism stuff, it's only an issue if it's "ZOMFG I HAET ET!"

Nor do I against you. Thanks for your vote.

Kirav, you're in.

Thanks!

Population, at the moment?: 3.474 billion

Dude, they'll never let you in if you don't have a IC commie fetish. Infact, if you have any kind of anti-communist policies, the two at the top Stoki and Yani, tell everyone else to ignore anyone who does. Ask them about me. Do it. Ask them why the ignore me.

Considering the fact that myself, Gesford, and The Beatus are all right wing states (Gesford is one of the most ubercapitalist libertarian nations on NS) are all active members kinda deflates your argument.

Maybe they just don't like me because I ignored them after they tried to nuke me when over a signle Carrier Battle Group....

I hope you're right...

I think they aren't letting former AU members in.

I think they aren't letting former AU members in.

Like I would want to join this region. If its an IC region, have spome internal conflicts damn it. Not just an OOC region that says its IC.

OOC: AD, don't listen to them. We never tried to nuke binaria, and it isn't even about the AU. We let Anselmus, Kirav's puppet and even Akimonad in. Uiri just didn't get in because he nitpicks over stupid things, and tried to dictate to someone in a thread as his main nation that there had to be exactly three posts between sending a fleet, and it arriving to fight. Also, sending a TG the next day expecting us to be finished with our discussion didn't help.

Like I told you in the TG before you applied, AD, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get accepted. I know that some NSD members don't like you, but NU is actually pretty easy to get into, and pretty removed from any NSD bias.

Now, Binaria and Uiri, quit trolling my thread, or I'll ask the mods to delete your posts.

While I'm still oscillating between accepting AD or giving him a trial period, Binaria you know why Yanis and I don't like you. You even TG'd me until we both forgot about what we were TG'ing about.

Uiri, you're not bad, but you do nitpick.

You two former-AU guys aren't getting let in not because of your EA alliance or even because of your IC policies toward communism, but because most people in the region just don't like you.

Sorry to be impatient but have you guys decided yet?

We are still voting.

Sorry to be impatient but have you guys decided yet?

AD, sorry to keep you waiting, I know it has taken a long time.

You are almost accepted, it's just that some members have asked that you participate in a trial RP. Right now I am seeing if anyone will volunteer, and I've already asked one member, but if you want to ask anyone, feel free to request that they do an RP with you.

Otherwise, I am rather busy OOCly at the moment, but after I clear up some IC stuff, and after a bit of turbulence clears up, I'll do it.

Trial RP sounds fine, what exactly is it going to be about?
