Hi there !
Due to our government lacks of assiduity, (and a long vacation using the social funds), our nation fell in oblivion.
With a lot of citizen rebellion and a little motivation (guns, among others), our politicals came to an arrangment.
Anyways, we are back in Hippiedom, and (at least for the most of us) we are happy with that.

Yes. 420 and Earth Day all in one week. I was so overcome by cannabis smoke that the next day I allowed myself to be sucked into the corporate vortex and took my reusable mug to Starbucks as they were offering free cup of coffee to all who brought in a reusable mug on Earth Day. I usually use my reusable mug to get my coffee elsewhere, but I sold out to the powerful corporation for nothing more then the price of a cup of coffee!

Two more nations! Greetings to Buffalostan and The Banana Republics of Kypros-Kibris, thank you both for gracing us with your presence. I hope you enjoy the region and look forward from reading more from both of you!

Is Buffalostan as a nation concerned with the fate of Buffalos? It is an interesting name. I'm curious to know why you choose it.

And what is the story behind that flag? It seems to be about Cuba, but that doesn't look at all like Fidel. Can you enlighten me?

Nixon's crimes paled in comparison to Bush's. The whole lot of them belong in jail, but Obama won't form Truth Commissions.

Summer rain

Blame Pelosi. She put the kabash on investigation of the Bush Administration 2 years before Obama could do anything about it. Don't get me wrong, Obama should have acted differently, but Pelosi could have assured that the issue was well on it's way to being resolved if she hadn't stopped house committees from taking action. Conyers (House Judiciary Committee) wanted to act. Blame Pelosi...

Nixon always gets such a bad rap. So what if he stole a bunch of the DNC's money? It wasn't like it was tax money or something.

Summer rain

1 year 179 days ago


Re: Nixon. It is important to realize he was a product of the times. Nixons bad rap had little to do with stealing money from the DNC, and more to do with his history of red baiting and abuses of power to silence his critics, as well as the War in Vietnam, these were the issues that focus
ed energy against Nixon.

But it must be remembered that these things were much worse at the time then they woukd seem today. Nixon was President at a time when both Republicans and Democrats shared a "liberal consensus" on social programs.Nixon created the EPA, and took the U.s. off the gold standard. Ford created the Food Stamp Program. Indeed when Reagan took office most of the programs he curtailed or abolished were Nixon era programs. The right has moved very far to the right. Most those who support Republican Party today would despise a President who advocated Nixon social policy as being a liberal.

That being said let's not forget used the IRS to go after political opponents, illegally spied on dissidents, bombed Cambodia on Christmas even though we were not even at war with them and called the students who protested against it bums the week they were shot at Kent State. He deserved to be impeached, but the actions committed by Bush were far worse. Unfortunately Nancy Pelosi was a gutless fool, who did not take her oath to uphold the constitution as seriously as the the House of Representatives did in 1975.

Cannajuana I read the piece. Are these the portents foretold by Revelations? Is this the heralding of the end of days?

Transportable pipeline technology could harness a 45 day storm that is disaster for one community, by transporting storm water hundreds of miles away to communities that need it. Re-forestation and water permeable pavement would also avert natural disasters and improve the environment. Government may lack the competence to do it, but we should still demand it.

When failure of electric grids caused black outs throughout Northern California a follow up study confirmed that homes in some communities continued to have electricity -- because they had solar electric systems installed. If all else fails have on hand blankets, matches a stash of good weed and a two week supply of emergency food and water.

Cannajuana

That solution is possible, but unfortunately these types of catastrophic events are the last thing on any government agenda. Preventative measures are never taken. We always wait until disaster has passed before we realize what we could have done.

And was it just me or did that article convey a subtle message of, "Prepare for the worst. Good luck, but goodbye." ?

I just re-read the description of our region, and realized that mushrooms are not listed as one of the major organic products of the region.

It is a made up story. However, I go to the Netherlands quite often, and one of the standard jokes Dutchmen make is:"Hey, your granddad stole my grandpa's bike!". And I thought it would be funny to spin a whole yarn out of that.

The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander

Standard spelling is "Socialism," but who here cares about standardization?

Summer rain

1 year 164 days ago


Spelling of socialism or socialzim must be in accord with the socialist principle: From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

If Flower child nation needs to spell it with a "z" or is spelling it to the best of his or her ability then that should suffice. Similarly, if The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander needs to spell it according to the formula set forth by the ruling class that nation may do so as well.

All that matters is that the red banner continues to fly high....

Sorry, The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander, I didn't me to make you feel dirty. Good news is cannabis plants are good for more than a good smoe. The produce hemp fiber for textiles and paper, the seeds, in addition to growing a new crop are also used as a protein source, as well as a source of oil which can bee used in food, and manufacturing.

In fact hemp oil can be used to manufacture soap, so here, have some hemp oil ssoap to wash up with, then you won't feel so dirty!

Finally after they realized I was allowing full civil rights and tons of government programs they changed me to a Father knows Best state and then an Iron Fisted Socialist, which was the label that was perfectly suited to ma nation named Hard line commies. But alas I was too liberal on some issues and since then they've been calling me things like Democratic Socialist, Scandinavian Liberal Paradise and Liberal Democratic Socialist. I keep trying to change it back to Iron Fisted Socialist, but I can not seem to get them to say that. Perhaps if they had an issue that allowed me to imprison all corporate bosses

That's gotten good reviews. I've been a X-Men fan since the 80s. I'm told the movies are skewing wider and wider from the comic book continuity.

Tiefschlaf

1 year 126 days ago


Well, Magneto is cast in a rather sympathetic light. They also introduced some characters which are the contemporaries of Cyclops like Emma Frost, for example, but they focused mostly on the friendship between Charles and Erik. I thought it was fun and that Michael Fassbender, who played Magneto, was amazing. It was definetly better than Wolverine Origins.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

1 year 119 days ago


Yea I liked it better than Origins too, it was pretty good for a prequel.

I saw Bad Teacher that was pretty funny.

My first goal will be to get us back in the 80s and growing! If anyone has the recruiting TG Hard Line Commies was using could they send it to me? I had it at one point, but my inbox deleted it, I do have the Communist Beach one though.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions about the WA or anything please feel free to contact me!

The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander

1 year 118 days ago


My understanding in the comic book continuity, Mystique was born not later than the 19th century (and is a lesbian), Havok is Cyclop's brother (not his father), Emma Frost is a contemporary of Xavier (although the diamond skin came along long after I stopped reading).

Wolverine: Origins sucked.

Hey guys, new to the region. been here before with a few different nations that i just lost track of, and then forgot.

Holy Ornage, LSD usually comes as a liquid or on blotter paper which is soaked in liquid LSD. It can also be taken as a pill. Only taken it once before but it wasn't a full hit, looking forward to that next time i take it. I smoke pot most days and have done coke and pills before, which doesn't even include my prescription of prozac i've been taking on and off for a couple of years. Was always interested in doing shrooms, Strawberry Fields, what was the trip like?

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Yea LSD is normally either like a tissue-paper or gel tabs, or liquid.

I did 2 Gel tabs for my first trip it was awesome, I recommend doing atleast 2 for the full effect. It was my first year of college, I would have considered my self a moderate before, but by the end I was a social anarchist Hippy.

Actually the first time I did acid was when I was really introduced to the Beatles, before this I never had really listened to the Beatles. There was four of us, and we spent all night smokin' and listening to the Beatles. I watched the Yellow Submarine for the first time. Which I highly recommend doing if any of you ever trip. We did it at night and in the morning when we were coming down(lasts 12hrs or more) we went to this lake and watched the sun rise. Was one of the top experiences of my life, have loved the Beatles ever since. Shortly after I made this nation and joined Hippiedom

My 2nd trip was a week later on 4/20, that was a blast. Like 15 of my college buddies go to this cabin(modern one) in the woods. Everyone had alot of weed, I had an ounce of green myself. Did two gel tabs again stayed up for like 36hrs all of 4/20 smokin' tons of bud.

I tripped a third time a year later with this girl I know. And I haven't tripped since then, though i'd like to if I could find it. <_<

Hurray I have internet again!

Yes me and my two Siamese cats are fine, thanxs for your concern. It was just taking awhile to get everything up and running again, electricity, hot/drinkable water, internet, etc. But that should no longer be an issue, finally.

As for passwording the region, i'd like to avoid doing that. In my experience I find that in our case the password could do more harm than good. It would restrict new nations from moving in causing our population to decrease, and to be honest we are almost always under threat of being raided, so the password would have to stay up all the time to prevent being raided.

I have friends in the FRA and other defender groups who keep me up to date on intel relating to possible raids on us, and can provide assistance if we where to get raided.

Which to actually pull off a raid on us would be rather difficult because since I have 13 endorsements, they'd need 15 WA (1 wa to be endorsed 13 to match me and 1 more to put them ahead).

Most of the time smaller regions get raided since the raiders only have have like 3 or 4 WA online during the update, and in more extreme cases maybe close to 10, so 15 would be really difficult to pull off. And if it was pulled off, they wouldn't have enough influence to immediately boot anyone here with a high endorsements count, so it would only take a few defenders to come in an endorse me or someone with a high endorsements to re-pass the invader.

If people still feel a strong need for the password we can discuss it further, but what I think would be a better route is to do some more recruiting for Hippiedom and get a few more endorsements, if I had like 18 or 20, it be impossible for us to be raided.

On that note if anyone has yet to endorse me please do so! I know we have more than 14 wa in Hippiedom.

I will naturally keep an eye out, now that I have internet again I will be able to be on for the majority of updates.

Embassies with NationStates? WTF??
Given that the region NationStates founder Mikeswill is a duplicitous raider and a member of the notorious invader group DEN, as well as the founder of the invader hideout region Ile de France, I can't fathom why a region of upstanding, freedom-loving, bong-hittin' hippies would want to establish foreign relations with region NationStates.
Is region Hippiedom really what is portrays itself to be, or something else? Now I'm worried. Yo, John; any explanation for this?

Bob jmo8k

I know you didn't ask me, but Mike also hosts a number of regions free from war and his raiding antics, like Nation States, and your aforementioned region is one of the biggest proponents of the hippie lifestyle in the entire game. I see it perfectly fit to be allied with this region.
Any activities he conducts under other profiles should be considered an act from a separate nation and should not influence the decision to ally with a good region.

The Fearless Federation of Hungry Freaks

Wow. Just wow. So I guess you'll be welcoming the raiders when they do here what they did to Anarchy. But then, Hippiedom might be over 50% informants and raider spies right now. Kind of like what the FBI is doing to OWS.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

1 year 11 days ago


@hungry Freaks, I didn't really see it like that. Mikeswill's role as a delegate is independent of this role with his other nation Highlander. Currently at vote as i'm sure you know is a proposal to remove Mikeswill commendation. I saw this as an attack on someone who has carried the region Nationstates, made it what it is today, I think his dedication to the region is both impressive and worthy of his commendation. So because of my support, Mikeswill proposed constructing embassies.

As for his raiding ties, under a different name he had associations with Den and founded Ile de France, but his WA nation was delegate that entire time so he never actually raided.

I don't think what he did as Highlander reflects the region Nationstates as a whole, Nationstates tries to maintain a neutral stance.

Now when is comes to managing embassies, the best way to recruit for Hippiedom is to spread word of Hippiedom, so I view making an embassy with a large well known region as a plus, just like making an embassy with a feeder or sinker.

I am open to everyone's input, either post here or you can tg me. If people are strongly against I will withdraw the embassy, I didn't think it was a big deal.

The Fearless Federation of Hungry Freaks

1 year 11 days ago


OK, we'll have to agree to disagree. As a long-time observer of raider behavior, and of how Highlander 1 is treated by his fellow raiders and the hate and contempt that Highlander demonstrates toward invaded regions and their natives, I won't pretend to understand your decision. Cuz I don't. What I can see is Hippiedom being on the raider hit-list; whether establishing an embassy with Hippiedom is part of a strategy to lull you into a false sense of security or whether you yourself are a raider sleeper will remain to be seen. Au revoir.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Come on, >_<, merely accepting to make an embassy with the region Nationstates doesn't mean I plan to "be welcoming the raiders when they do here what they did to Anarchy".

And a note on Anarchy's situation, I have been talking with my contacts to try and resolve it, spoke with their ex-delegate Seeya and some other natives. It be a shame for one of the oldest classic NS regions to die like that. I can assure you nothing like that will happen here, I get regular intel and am well informed, I am in touch with people who would come to our aid should we ever be raided.

Have you considered refounding the region?

Password-protect the region. Then let all the natives go to a temporary beta-region (which you have founded by a trusted deputy or a puppet). Then decrease the number of natives by having the ones with big endorsement counts go over to the beta-region one by one. The WA delegate is the last one to do so: he should leave only JUST BEFORE new WA reports are made up, so the region is empty for only a few minutes before ceasing to exist.

Any slightly inactive natives still present at that time can be ejected - after you send them an explanatory telegram + invitation to join the new refounded region.

Have the region recreated by an active founder - be it the former WA delegate or a puppet of which the password can be shared by WA delegate and one other (in case either becomes inactive).

Then allow the beta-region to empty inself into the new region.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

1 year 10 days ago


Well i'd prefer to avoid refounding the region. It would be a rather lengthy and time consuming process, having everyone move and move back, and we would loose alot of nations in the process, probably close to have or more, plus we'd no longer have "high" regional power, lots of issues with the large number of embassies we have, I just don't think the region would quit be the same after. And refounding comes with the risk of having someone else refound the region before the intended person did. It be the worse to have some raider or smartly pants swoop in and ruin everything worse than any raid could.

Plus we have so far never been raided, it would be rather difficult for us to be raided as I now hold 20 endorsements, so they'd need 22 online at update to pull off. Most of the time smaller regions get raided since the raiders only have have like 3 or 4 WA online during the update, and in more extreme cases maybe close to 15, so it would be really difficult to pull off. And if it was pulled off, they wouldn't have enough influence to immediately boot anyone here with a high endorsements count, so it would only take a few defenders to come in an endorse me or someone with a high endorsements to re-pass the invader.

What are other people's thoughts on it? I could see maybe resorting to refounding down the line if raids became a real problem or if the region was dying and small in size.

And if someone was to refound, I'd wana see if Hard Line Commies wants to. He is still kicking around though not very active, he is also the founder of our sister region Communist Beach as some of you may know, and his Communist Beach nation aka the founder came back about a week ago I sent him a tg, but he hasn't logged on since coming back. But when I last talked to him it didn't sound like he wanted Hippiedom to be refounded, I will mention the idea to him next time I get ahold of him.

Hails cool people of Hippiedom!

Sorry for the late input - I think it was a mistake to withdraw the embassy. To be fair, I do not have knowledge of the raids that were occurring, or of the identities of those involved - but do think that extending our support would be more beneficial than not - meaning I agree with the benefits outlined by Strawberry Fields.

In a historic real-world sense, I feel strongly that it is a good idea to have embassies with all regions - even if some members consider these "enemies" or "opponents" of our ideals. It is specifically these regions we should be reaching out to and building diplomatic ties.

Lastly, from a security stand-point, from what I understand of the endorsements - we have multiple members with relatively high number of endorsements - so we are somewhat protected by our members in the event of an invasion. I haven't been playing long - so I could very well be totally off-base with my observations.

Cheers!

I didn't do it for G.

As night fell and it became pitch black I sat amongst the glowing Jack O' Lanterns, fired up some mean skunk, and put "The Wizard" by Black Sabbath full blast on my outdoor speakers.

There is limited room in the WFE, and at this point there is no room to list a new Census. At the top of the Census now I have forum link where I have been adding new Census monthly. I would like to be able to free up the space so I can make the Quote of the Day longer when needed instead of having to find a short one to fit and also to be able to include other possible new things and Links.

So what's up guys? Things have been a little quiet lately, you guys cramming for finals week too? >_<
I am an Fine Art Painting Major with an Art History minor, and i'm taking this British Portraiture class this term, and for those who don't know i'm Dyslexic, which means I think in pictures instead of words. So being a 3 dimensional thinker (right hemisphere/left handed), flat 2d things like reading/writing, spelling grammar are rather difficult, whereas visual things come like 2nd nature. (You can try to Google it but most definitions aren't helpful or just plan incorrect)
So I had a paper the other day for my 300 level British Portraiture class about these two group portrait paintings and in one of them I flipped two people who was who and wrote an essay basing parts of the arguments on the figure being the other person. I got the paper back today and it's probably just me but I found some of the teacher's comments funny.
First there are red marks all throughout the 5 page paper, noting the numerous grammar errors, and he corrects the mix up I make throughout the paper in regards to who is who, his written comments include;
"This Sentence needs Work"
"A good point, but the Sentence is very infused"
"not a Sentence"
"You need to be more careful about these basic editing issues"
"This sentence doesn't quite make sense"
"Definitely not a sentence"
"It's clear that you have a good ability to look at, describe, and discuss the paintings, and in that regard you've done a good job here. You also deserve credit for putting what I imagine was a good deal of effort into the writing, though there are still an inordinate number of basic problems that need to be addressed. I hope you'll continue to work on these."

Hey @strawberry Fields. Nice to know there's another special person here I'm dyslexic too but instead of thinking in pictures, I think in music. I did music at uni here in England. Literally the only subject I've ever been good at but, hey ho, I'm studying nursing now...science is so damn confusing. Man, now that it's over, I even miss final's week. The real world is an absolute bitch. Been out of uni for 18 months and the only job I've had since graduation was the same one I was doing before I went to uni.
I only got diagnosed with dyslexia when I got to uni which makes it an absolute miracle that I got that far. Every paper I put in had pretty much the same comments that you've got.
And remember, the most beautiful things could only have been created by an imperfect being.

Thinking in Music? Wow that sounds really interesting. Never heard of that, though Dyslexia is a really broad term and means something different for each person.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Normally that refers to phasing, their should be an issue with the word itself, though they might want the scientific term rather than street name. Aka Psilocybin mushroom, instead of shrooms.
Let me take a look at what you got maybe I can help.
Post self-deleted by Stoner Republic.
The Free Land of Stoner Republic
328 days ago

I posted a whole bunch of latin names in Terms and Conditions paragraph.
The World Assembly,
Though realizing that most of the conservative countries would be glad to downvote this proposition as a statement of their self-righteousness and moral monopoly, I believe that reason and compassion would overcome all the uncoolness in your hearts and minds.
Numerous scientific studies show that Psilocybin mushrooms (furhter - Magic Mushrooms), are the least harmful drug, if such word can be applied to this kind of food, of all the numerous drugs known to mankind.
1. Terms and Conditions:
1.1 Magic Mushrooms -- the fungi that contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin. Biological genera containing psilocybin mushrooms include Agrocybe, Conocybe, Copelandia, Galerina, Gerronema, Gymnopilus, Hypholoma, Inocybe, Mycena, Panaeolus, Pluteus, and Psilocybe, etcetera.
1.2 Cultivating -- creation of the conditions necessary for the development of said mushrooms from a spore to fungi.
1.3 Selling -- a process of selling Magic Mushrooms, which must be regulated by the Department of Agriculture.
1.4 Use -- act of internal consumption of the Magic Mushrooms.
I by the name of Free Land of Stoner Republic propose the following steps to be accepted by the Assembly:
1. Removing Magic Mushrooms from the Class A Drugs and Narcotics list.
2. Legalizing the cultivation of Magic Mushrooms, while regulating the amounts of cultivated fungi and the conditions in which they are cultivated according to local agricultural laws.
3. Legalizing the use of the Magic Mushrooms, except for the situations in which being under the influence of any psychoactive drug may be dangerous for the user or those around him, such as driving, operating heavy machinery, etcetera. The situations in which use of the mushrooms can not be permitted are to be stated by the Department of Labor.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
328 days ago

Hmm well off the top of my head, you can't use "I" or reference yourself like that. Also it's not effective to attack the other side like that, you need to apart more neutral and that it logically makes more sense to be legal than illegal. Calling out conservatives and saying their "self-righteousness and moral monopoly" you loose alot of people in the middle too.
Then you spend alot of time detailing the legalizations, but not nearly enough on why it should be made legal. You only say their not that harmful;
"Numerous scientific studies show that Psilocybin mushrooms (furhter - Magic Mushrooms), are the least harmful drug, if such word can be applied to this kind of food, of all the numerous drugs known to mankind."
Now you'd have to do some research here, i'm more of an acid guy myself. But you should get positives in there, their potential psychotherapy value. Include facts about them. You know according to studies people have co-evolved with plant-drugs including Weed and Mushrooms, our brains are wire with receptors to take in these drugs. You could argue its more unnatural that we force people not to.
If I get more time I might be able to give you some more suggestions on what you could say instead.
The Free Land of Stoner Republic

Oh, thanks a lot for the constructive criticism! I appreciate it a lot.
But what "real world references" should I get out of the act in your opinion? I mean, there is Pepsi in this imaginary world, there is marijuana (I jut got the public marijuana usage issue), so what's so real about it - I fail to see.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
327 days ago

Sure thing mate.
Need to take out the "I believe", "I by the name of Free Land of Stoner Republic", and also after reading over the forum the bit about "Class A Drugs and Narcotics list", is referring to a real life american-gov term. You just need to rephrase it with different words. Can't use real life brands and such because they don't exist in the NS universe. Not Pepsi, it's just soda or some made up brand. There is no Pepsi.

Thank you, thank you, thank you and a BIG thumbs up for the "Albion Moonlight" link, John. I've sought out and devoured Kenneth Patchen's work ever since someone gave me a dog-eared copy of "Panels for the Walls of Heaven" 5 or 6 years ago (a lot of his stuff is sadly and ridiculously out of print). He wrote some of the most raw and uncompromising anti-war poetry ever put to paper, and many of his love poems are as stunning and as sublime as Neruda's. It sounds cliché to say so, but "The Journal of Albion Moonlight" really IS unlike anything else I have ever read; Patchen was a poet's poet, a man who thundered against injustice with the intensity of a volcanic explosion while speaking of compassion and the healing power of love with the hypnotic voice of a murmuring angel. Excellent addition to the WFE. Hopefully some here who don't know his work will be as thrilled to discover Patchen as those of us who have admired him for years.

It all depends on your own opinion.
For example, an Italian delegation to the UN might vote differently than a Portuguese one, even though they're both in the European Union.
But, I voted FOR, because it makes sense, and because it is a straightforward resolution - quite a first for an intergovernmental bureaucracy.
And because its funny

5. Endorse other W.A. nations. Here's why:
You may have noticed the "Regional Influence" rating on the right hand side of your nations description. These ratings generally relate to the amount of influence your nation has within the region. The higher the rating is the better you are able to protect Hippiedom in the event of an invasion and the more difficult it becomes for an invading W.A. delegate to remove your nation from the region.
For the most part the Regional Influence" rating is determined by the amount of time your nation spends in a region. Activity, such as posting of messages also enhances your Regional Influence rating, but for nations that are members of the W.A. aquiring endorsements from other W.A. nations can also enhance Regional Influence. So by endorsing other W.A. nations you not only contribute to the protection of Hippiedom, you increase the Influence of the nation you endorse.
But iendorsing other W.A. nations in the region also contributes to Hippiedoms influence in NS. The Regional Power rating that appears is based on the some total of the Regional Influence ratings held by the individual nations in the region. We would like it, at minimum to stay at "High" and hope it one day increases beyond that.
After all, in a cannabis based region isn't it important the region be High?
Because endorsing another W.A. is a good way to show support for the nations flag, national motto, nation name, or the postings they make on the message board we do ask you to endorse any nations whose policies you like.

Musically, she's incredibly boring so she has to make up for it with a dress-sense that's so insane that it detracts attention away from her music. In fact, I think there's only about 20 seconds of 1 of her songs that actually interests me. Plus all her songs sound really samey. She's supposed to have 'revolutionised' pop...but she's just changed the sound a little bit and stuck with that.

Lady Gaga's awesome, man. I love her artistry. She's the only mainstream artist of today that I can even remotely stand. Who cares if she dresses the way she does? Last time I checked the legendary Elton John wore crazy outfits too! She's really talented. Have you even heard her sing live?
Marmalade skies and tangerine trees
284 days ago

She's well-received by her peers, too. She's done duets with Sting, Elton John (to which the song was nominated for a Golden Globe), Clarence Clemmons from the E-Street Band, Brian Mays from Queen and Tony Bennett. Queen wanted her to be the lead singer for an upcoming tour.. she's also been praised by artists like Cyndi Lauper or Cher and even Michael Jackson himself wanted her to open the "This Is It" tour. Everybody whom she's worked with has complimented her.
Listen to the song Bloody Mary or Dance In The Dark. Those songs are fkkin' amazing!!
The pharmacological mind
283 days ago

For me, she's the epitome of everything that is wrong with the music industry at the moment. She seems to rely on crazy outfits, and ridiculously over the top live shows to mask the fact that her songs aren't musically interesting at all. The only reason why all of her most recent song are so popular is because 'It's gaga...therefore it must be good.' I'm not too crazy about Elton John either, he had a few good songs like Your Song, Levon and Step Into Christmas (one of the few xmas songs I can remotely stand).
Basically my point is that if she is genuinely musically talented then she wouldn't need all the ridiculousness. Think about Adele, amazing singer, all she needs is a piano: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri49XBQ23kA

As I'm sure is common in a region called Hippiedom, I listen to a lot of classic rock: The Beatles, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bob Dylan, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix, among others. That's the stuff that made me really get into music. I couldn't really stand to listen to anything else for a long time. Some of the more modern bands that I listen to now are Tool, A Perfect Circle, Porcupine Tree, Muse, and The White Stripes. I've also been listening to quite a bit of Ani Difranco lately: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd9onmD-XLQ
Anyway, most music being made today still isn't very good. I think Lady Gaga is okay, certainly not the epitome of everything wrong with the music industry, though she's not exactly my cup of tea, personally.
The pharmacological mind

For me, Lady Gaga is kind of like a metaphor for what I think has gone wrong with the music industry nowadays. Commerciality (if that's even a word) seems to be more important than genuine musical talent. I have no issues with 'silly love songs' but the problem now is that the people who perform these songs tend to consider themselves serious artistes. That's why I love 80s music, it didn't take itself seriously at all, and was just a bit of a laugh.

Also, gotta tell you about the last concert I went to...Paul McCartney. OMG! Yes, I would have enjoyed it just cuz it was Paul, but I was (Baby I'm Amazed) completely blown away by the 3 hour, 3 Encore concert unlike any show I have ever been to in my life. It was like Paul knew we had paid so much money and he wanted to make sure we got our money's worth. I loved that at each show he played one Beatle's song that had never been played in concert before. We got Ob Li Di Ob La Dah. Age doesn't matter. Talent does and I never would have said that before.

Yeah, that's genuinely one of the most shocking things I've ever read. We have rampant homophobia in some sections of society in the UK. But nothing that's actually institutionalised and belligerent. That's my issue with America. Freedom Of Speech is an excuse that's used by everyone. People who use it as a valid argument and then racists, homophobes and sexists who don't seem to realise that with the right of freedom of speech also comes responsibility. I know alot of Americans don't do this, but there is a sizeable proportion who do. Here in the UK, justice comes before freedom of speech, and in fact, justice leads to freedom of speech.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Mouth-breathing creationists is a stereotypes the north has of the south, all stereotypes are based in truth, it refers to poorly educated overly Christian hick southerners. Whom generally breath through their mouth not their nose.
I know part of the cause of this is genetic in some cases, but I think it is also stems from their culture and growing up breathing from their mouth regularly.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth_breathing
The problem America has with free speech is that the media corrupts it and takes no accountability. They put up two people side by side as equals when debating topics.
You'll get an educated sensible person on one side, and then a raving racist on the other. And the media will act like both side are equally valid.

I apologies Fabfour, I should have said that better, it's not entirely what I meant to say.
Stereotypes are based in truth, not truth in themselves. I don't think it's true about all southerners, or areas in the south follow this. But that in some cases you can see why there is manifestation of such a stereotype.
Take for example American Americans, it's a Stereotype they are overly athletic and have big "parts".
This holds some element of truth because, back in the day when blacks were slaves and brought over to the US, slave owners would intentionally breed only the strongest and biggest, and would kill anyone too smart or weak.
A few generations of that you end up with a group of people naturally more athletic. Not saying that the Stereotype always holds true, but you go to a sports channel you will see a disproportionate number of African Americans.
Don't get me wrong, I by no means think Stereotypes are good or even useful, merely that there is a reason they are created.
The pharmacological mind
275 days ago

Stereotypes are basically an inflation of the truth. I had some stereotypes about American people (you know, the classics) even though the majority of American people I met didn't fit those stereotypes. That's because of what I have read, seen in the news etc. This doesn't mean I'm going to brand all American people I met as stupid, ignorant etc. I'm sure you guys have some stereotypes of British people. I have no idea whether they're still the stereotype that we all wear top hats, are incredibly posh and have bad teeth. Stereotypes are simply a sociological phenomenon.
However, I've always found that if I embody a stereotype of a particular group, be it LGBT people or stoners, those groups tend to have hostile feelings towards me because I'm apparently reinforcing the stereotype. So I've always told them to go screw themselves cos I'm not gonna change the way I am just because that is defined as part of a stereotype

British stereotypes are that they have bad teeth and rarely shower. I think the showering thing is more European than specific to Britains. French stereotypes are that they are unfaithful lovers. German's are still Nazi sympathizers. Italians are greasy and all part of the mafia, also fat. The Irish are all drunks. You see how this works? Its just hurtful and wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the apology. I am not sure that I agree with you that stereotypes have any basis in truth but I accept that your intent is not to be insulting.

Now that's interesting, because the stereotypes you've mentioned are not the stereotypes that we're associated with in Europe. In Europe, we're considered drunks, violent (thanks to the football supporters, especially at the world cup), yet have a sense of humour. The Irish are actually pissed off with the English for stealing their stereotype. I think we should start some ridiculous stereotypes just to demonstrate how outdated and useless they are. For example, Albanians could be poetic yet discerning and Cambodians are all addicted to Scrabble

lol Orpheus you don't need to keep deleting your post! People will miss out on your worthwhile post mate.
Now for the Kony 2012 thing, it's a recent thing and I suggest doing some personal research because i'm not entirely sure what to make of it yet. But here are my current thoughts,
You can find the Kony 2012 video here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc
It came out like March 5th and has gotten more hits / views in such a sort time than anything before on youtube. It's about this evil guy in Africa, Ugandan, who kicknaps kids to fight in his army.
However, there does seem to be a secondary motive here, Ugandan has recently discovered a huge oil reserve and it kinda like the US is just trying to create another boogeyman as an excuse to go in. Kony was more active around 2003-04, and has largely been defeated, he only has like 500-1000 soldiers, and to be far the government of Ugandan is just as bad as him with their ethnic cleansing of the north.
So the vid in the WFE talks about this- www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dRo8dbaktfI
Here's another video about it here - www.classwarfareexists.com/kony-2012-its-not-about-the-kids-its-about-the-oil/
I highly encourage you to do your own research though, as it's all very recent. I saw the Kony 2012 vid first and thought omg this is horrible we need to stop him, and then I looked more into it, and I was like this is really fishy.

Our dominion has not joined the World Assembly because as we are attempting a go at anarcho-communism, we don't want foreign nations of alternate ideologies to hold any political sway over our national politics.
The WA guidelines state that all member nations must accept WA resolutions, so even if it doesn't change your national description, it's implied that either you are cooperating with WA resolutions, or are defying international law.

Our currency is actually any kind of stuff or service, but considering us to be a hippie nation, I believed that joints would do just fine. Our drugs are 100% organic, so no amphetamine or any other synthetic recreational drugs are available. They would involve industrialization, which is illegal in our country and seen as violation, if not destruction of the environment.
By the way, wanna hear a joke? No? Well I'll tell anyway: What is called a devout christian who is also a recreational drug user? RECREATIONIST!!! (You are allowed to laugh now.)

All of our farming is organic, with people encouraged to grow their own food in their yards or in community gardens, and in infrastructure for coal or oil doesn't exist. We believe in renewable and non-polluting resources to generate electricity, internet and computers to connect our people to everyone else on the planet, and electric factories to help create goods for our people. As of yet, transportation hasn't been an issue for Bear Vikings, but when it is, we will build an infrastructure and industrialize further for public transportation.

We'll let you industrialize yourselves. We're not into it... that much. I'm sorry, but we're primitivists and can't accept anything that's industrially manufactured as a gift or means of currency. One of the Five Abolitions forbid that. We're terribly sorry. We really are.

We believe that in order to ensure perpetual empathy with our society and others, everyone must be free to voice their thoughts to the world. There's not a better tool to do this than the internet. For one to have internet, one must generate and transport electricity, build computers, internet router/modems, and create an infrastructure and industry that can generate and support the internet. We feel it is empathy that will ensure peace and cooperation between clans, societies, and peoples, and empathy can only be indefinitely perpetuated if people are able to voice their thoughts, hopes, and concerns to the world as effortlessly as possible. Our industry and infrastructure exists to connect people, and to generate, perpetuate, and strengthen peace, liberty, and dignity among all peoples. As of yet, technology in our dominion only allows us to create these things by harnessing raw, non-organic materials from the earth and the sky, although we are absolutely open to harm reduction strategies and technologies, should they yield the same benefits.

When we wish to use the internet, we travel abroad to use it. That's why we don't see a need to build a wing for the world wide web to our nation. Don't get us wrong; we do have something to say to the world. We just share it to everyone our own way.
The Collective Dominion of Bear Vikings
213 days ago

We Bear Vikings don't mean to be too bold, but is in our nature... aren't you just having the rest of the world destroy the environment for you? Traveling abroad to use the internet is bound to be bad for the environment somehow, if only for the fact that there's need for larger paths. Perhaps we could send you some shipments of solar charged internet phones with easy satellite link-up capability? The parts not made out of biodegradable home-grown plastics are made from recyclable metals and silicon mined from deep below the great igneous plateau of Mount Helheim. We build the mine shafts so as when we are done with one and must start with another, we can take advantage of the cool and dark humidity to farm mushrooms.
Neohippies

Neohippies don't live in one place for long; they switch their homeplaces quite often and the land near the borders is often very crowded because of traveling abroad. And by 'traveling abroad' we neohippies mean just marching over the border. When we are on the same region, we have you and Ora Amaris on the other sides of the border. That way we can safely do our traveling methods without damaging our ever-so-delicate environment. And no, we do not need your solar charged internet phones, as conserving as they may sound. But thank you very much for the offer!

Depending on the detail your people were thinking of committing, we may be difficult to represent. For just the shape, we have a long coast, a few rivers, and canals with islands in them.
Aside from our coast, the only nation we know we border is The Community of Neohippies, although we are apparently near The Earthly Haven of Ora Amaris, and may share a border with them as well.

Although we are informed by Almonasterians that the Puppets are not active in their government, the Almonasterians have offered to lend their services, should we need them. However, we are not sure if they have anything better than what we and the Strawberry Fields have; Paint. Contact Almonaster Nuevo or Disposblepuppetland for any more information.
We are personally hoping we can learn how to utilize their technology to use for own own sake; in case something horrible happens to them yet we should need the map updated.

Hey guys!

After a recent left-wing broadsheet exposé of agricultural practices, an outburst of public paranoia has stirred up the organic foods debate.
The Debate
"I just can't stomach it any more," rants concerned parent Jessica Tan. "My children's future is being put at risk by irresponsible corporate practices. We must outlaw the use of pesticides and additives by farmers and food producers."
"I've heard enough of this treehugging, lefty nonsense," argues corporate spokesman Colleen Khan. "The agricultural industry needs to use the most advanced technology available, it's the only way to keep Neohippies competitive in food production. Besides, the studies we have commissioned prove that only a very small number of child deaths are due to our products, and surely that's an acceptable rate in the name of progress?"
"Stop torturing Mother Earth!" yells outraged environmental extremist Buffy Suzuki. "Are we prepared to sacrifice our planet and our souls for the sake of a few extra mushrooms? If we hope to live in harmony with the environment that nurtures and protects us, we must ban all industries that pollute our world. Let us return to the trees, my brothers!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

We the States of Midweilaisa would like to provide aid to the Dominion of Bear Vikings in their seemingly cataclysmic circumstances, in the form of agricultural surplus we are currently experiencing in Midweilaisa. We hope it will help the people of the Dominion deal with the impending drought, as it is likely to affect the irrigation systems of your country.
As for your neighboring rival, we will not provide weapons as we are wary of handing out something that could eventually be used against us. We would offer aid in the form of our military working in concert with your own military to take down your traitorous expatriot.
We are sorry to say, however, that our medical institutions do not yet have the abilities to be useful to other countries.
We propose to offer these aids to the Dominion, although once we are done, the States of Midweilaisa plans to depart for Hippiedom's sister region Communist Beach, as it looks as though it could use some new blood.

Thanks to The Allied States of Midweilaisa, our the damage caused by our famine has been minimalized, and the war is finally dying down.
Also, thanks to Toe Republic of Abrodia, the installation of our new green energy power grid is going smoothly.
With the help of these noble comrades, our only remaining concern is the battle our health industry and education systems are fighting to deal with malaria, but it seems to be under control at the moment. Our people, however, do grow a lot of weed, and use it as currency when necessary, and with a recent uptake in our economy, our national bud stores are quite stocked. We would like to trade some of our extra supply to anyone who can bring us raw medical goods, such as syringes and inoculation devices, sanitizing alcohol, mosquito netting, and anything else that might be useful in ridding our Dominion of malaria without harming our environment.
We Bear Vikings would also appreciate it greatly if Hippiedom were to send an international delegation of disease and genetic specializing biologists to ensure we handle this outbreak in a way that won't cause an ecological disaster, or a super virus resistant to vaccines or anti-contagion doctrines.

Our soldiers are trained to to fight hardest and more focused whilst stoned as funk, so this technology should yield a great advantage on the battlefield in future wars. Presently our soldiers go into battle wearing vaporizers attached to a gas masks, but with this technology, it should work as a positive buff to our own forces, and a negative buff to the forces of oppression we fight against, and hopefully would end battles before shots are fired and blood is spilled.

@taicen, Could you pick out 3 boarding spots? Makes labeling difficult if you pick 3 small islands on different ends of the map, if you want I can add a third islands along side 61 & 62 and you could have 3 near each other or something along those lines maybe? Also what color would you like?
@ Bear Vikings which 3 do you want? Neohippies has since moved, so do you want 70, 68, 69, or 49, 51, 60, or something new near NH?
@orpheus, Neohippies has moved since, do you want a spot near his new area? Also you get to pick 3.

We, the Allies States, would like to make clear that there are four states in our Alliance, as evidenced in our flag.
There has been a very high quality map of our collection of States drawn up by our best cartographers which very much fits the description of the island including areas 9 through 12.
We would like to request The Strawberrry Fields if we could use the four areas together? Seeing as how The Holy Land of Christs opted to not pick a third area, we feel this would make up for the loss of projected land distribution. 9 would be Amarestan, 10 would be East Japan, 11 would be New Russia, and 12 would be Ucretsistan.
We would also like to ask The Strawberrry Fields if the World Assembly is something worth joining. Is it worth having to be forced into accepting every resolution?

- Anyways, here is a little about myself; I used to hold two positions within the New York State Assembly, but then I felt guilty and I admitted to being one third of the State Assembly. I have been the foreign minister for several regions over the course of several years. I originally started out as an enemy of New York, but after I joined the region and coaxed the current State Assembly into giving me the foreign minister's position I grew to love it. Overall, I am a tad bit corrupt, crazy and I currently rule the Death Star.
- I look forward to have a great stay within Hippiedom, thank you for allowing me to come!

Map will be updated shortly, feel free to let me know if you'd like anything added or changed! I will include the beginning titles for those who have requested it too.
@ Midweilaisa, Yes I would highly recommend having a nation within the WA, I know some people don't like the resolutions affecting their nation so they don't use their main nation, but the resolutions passed have as much influences as one of the daily issues a nations does, and most of the time the WA repeals half the resolutions passed, bit of a revolving door. However over all I think NS is more liberal, and if you join the WA you help make it more liberal.
Plus it helps Hippiedom in a few ways, first Hippiedom is a founderless region, so the more endorsements the Delegate has the better protected we are from raids. Additionally the Delegate gets one vote in the World Assembly for each endorsement increasing the extent to which Hippiedom can effect the outcome of votes on W.A. resolutions, along with keeping our regional power growing, maybe we'll get from 'High' to 'Very High'!

We would like to make an announcement and a request.
First, The Allied States applied for the World Assembly, so within 24 hours Hippiedom will have more power than ever before. Hopefully we can spread our point of view while simultaneously gaining wisdom from other States.
Also, Strawberrry Fields, we would like to request a change of color for Midweilaisa. We thank you for allowing all four States thier individual area, but Amarestan, being majority Hindu, would like its title to be pink. New Russia would like to reinforce the ideas of the Alliance by having the lines separating the regions be dotted, and wants its own title in yellow. All states agree that the national color should be navy blue, similar to the blue in New Russia's Flag.
Once again, we thank you for the map, and all the States participating. We mean, this map would be real empty without them.

As a supporter of ALF, ELF and EF!, I stand in absolute opposition to an embassy with the degenerate animal-rapers of region "Zoo". That a region such as "Zoo" is even allowed in NS is an outrage. And in case anyone is wondering, sure, even vile monsters such as those have a right to free speech; it doesn't mean we have to legitimize animal torture by accepting an embassy with them.

@hungry Freaks
You're overly conservative. Chill out. It's just one embassy of the total of seventy embassies Hippiedom has. It's barely even noticed on the list. Plus, read this.
"Although this region is geared in large part for thoseromantically inclined towards animals, discussion oflewd or illegal activities is prohibited here. Flamers, trolls, and abusers are unwelcome. Non-zoos, however, are very welcome, and make up a fair portion of our membership as well!"
1) A romantic relationship doesn't necessarily involve sex, as well as sex doesn't necessarily contain anything romantic about it. You have sex to have pleasure, not to be romantic of any kind. And to have babies, of course... but that's not the point here.
2) Pretty self-explanatory, won't you say? Nothing lewd or anything that's illegal.
3) It's not like they're a rotten isolated collective which brainwashes its members.
Personally, I support that zoophilia and animal porn itself should be legitimate, but not a sexual intercourse with an individual from a non-sapient species. We can't determine whether or not was the act a violation of animal rights or not, because the 'victim' cannot tell us exactly what happened. Sure, there are some obvious cases, like where the animal's body shows signs of abuse, like bruises, broken bones or internal organ damages. Child abuse is much easier to determine than animal abuse, since a child can tell you mostly about what happened.
This is just the nature's way to react to overpopulation, different sexualities and all.

Hey there. I'm the founder of the region in question,Zoo. I'm a bit of a snoop whenever it comes to potential embassies, and while I don't usually actually come on regional message boards, I have to admit that Hungry Freaks' note did really bother me. I sent a telegram that was not in the best of taste, and I apologize to them for that.
I'd like to just open up and say that our region draws a very strong line between people who establish romantic and emotional relationships with animals before and alongside any sexual ones, and those who are the rapists Hungry Freaks no doubt believed us to be. While it may be difficult for an outside party to ascertain abuse, two parties will always know the difference, and those are the participants. We do not allow anyone who admits to having anything but a caring and selfless relationship with an animal, if any at all, to remain in the region, and thus far we have had no troubles with that. Hungry Freaks, you say you are a supporter of animal welfare, and I believe that anyone within our orientation would give you a run for your money, as not only do we tend to believe that our lives revolve around our animals, but we also spend a great deal of effort, and tend to have a great deal of talent when it comes to understanding the psychologies of animals, as individuals and as species. Our region, therefore, while primarily as a place for zoos to come and realize that there are others like them, but also for people curious about the proclivity; what binds these two groups together is a healthy love and respect for animals.
I don't know if you want this to become an extensive conversation on your RMB, but I'll keep an eye on it for if people have any other questions or concerns about the region. I can also move to your off-site forum, and always answer telegrams. Anyone with an open mind is also welcome to ask me for the regional password to Zoo if they want to spend some time with us. Hopefully we can reconsider that embassy request as well. Cheers.

Ah, well in my mind the whole idea that as you put it "romantic and emotional relationships with animals before and alongside any sexual ones" is absurd.
I mean think about it, their are laws against having sex with a child, someone underage, because their emotionally and psychologically unable to make such decisions. You wouldn't try to have a "romantic and emotional relationship" with someone mentally handicapped, or a child?
Because there is a distinct mental capacity difference, and there is an even greater distance between adult humans and animals. I mean really, most animals don't even understand the concept of time, we are talking about living things with a hugely lower level of intelligence and understanding.
Porn is one thing, but actually having sex with an animal is definitely abuse. An animal is incapable of really understanding, and even if you can argue "consent" like a female dog in heat, your still manipulating the primal nature of a lower intelligence life.
Not to mention, it gives you penis cancer. >_>

The Allied States would like to ask the States of Hippiedom for their wisdom and experience in legislation to help us resolve a matter which has recently come to our attention. Our automobile industry has been found to be lacking in the way of safety. The people have asked us to intercede on their behalf, but we are stuck between two options.
The first option we are considering is 1) Let the people head the automobile industry. We feel that if the people were to have their say in this, they would get what they want, but we also fear that they would not be able to utilize the power effectively and the automobile industry would sink.
The second option is 2) Ban all cars. We think that it would allow buses, but more importantly bicycles and the like, so as to protect the environment. The majority of the government seem to be leaning this direction, but the threat of economic collapse holds back popular passions.
So, what do the States of Hippiedom say? The People's Cars, or No Cars?

Neohippies: I'm overly conservative and should "chill out"? I'm not conservative, but I suspect you are. Your pathology fits right in with far-right conservatism. I am a radical leftist and an animal rights supporter who unlike you has the intellectual and moral acumen to know that animals are incapable of consenting to "having sex" (which means being raped) by humans. And don't act disingenuous about the region in question; you know exactly what they are about. It only makes you look even more pathetic and disgusting than you actually are. That's all I'll say about this matter.
Neohippies
194 days ago

Whoops, no, you're not overly conservative. I'm terribly sorry. You're overly intolerant and radical animal rights protector. And still, you should chill out and attack the post, not the poster (me). Like here where you called me both stupid (lack of intellect) and immoral (lack of moral acumen).
Okay, so I'm a far-right conservative? In what way, if I may ask? I think I said earlier something like these:
"Personally, I support that zoophilia and animal porn itself should be legitimate, but not a sexual intercourse with an individual from a non-sapient species. We can't determine whether or not was the act a violation of animal rights or not, because the 'victim' cannot tell us exactly what happened."
Why don't you demonstrate to all of us how that is conservatism, let alone far-right conservatism, if you please.
Quotation from you earlier:
"As a supporter of ALF, ELF and EF!, I stand in absolute opposition to an embassy with the degenerate animal-rapers of region "Zoo". That a region such as "Zoo" is even allowed in NS is an outrage. And in case anyone is wondering, sure, even vile monsters such as thosehave a right to free speech; it doesn't mean we have to legitimize animal torture by accepting an embassy with them."
Whoa-ho-ho, harsh words. You could have said that at least with a bit more nicer words, like "I'm sorry, but I can't support an embassy with Zoo because I won't tolerate romantic relationships with animals or zoophilia". That would have been enough for us. Plus it's the community that decides whether they want the embassy or not, not you alone thinking your opinions are the right ones and mine are the bad ones.
And about what you said just now:
1) You attacked me, not my post by calling me not only pathetic and disgusting, but also intellectually and morally lacking. Chill out, man.
2) Based on your opinions, intolerance and pressing need to blurt out your opinions without much thinking and caring that someone might be hurt, you're quite far-right to me.
3) If you think I didn't know about animals being incapable for consenting, then why in the world did I state my opposition to zoophilic intercourse on the first quotation on this post?
4) The region forbids anything that's lewd or illegal, buddy. And again, "It's not like they're a rotten isolated collective which brainwashes its members." Said by me, respectively.
SUMMA SUMMARUM (or however the hell is it said, I don't know):
Don't attack me. Attack my posts instead.
Chill out and don't be so rigid. Be nice.
Remember that people behind the nations actually have feelings.
Side-question, totally out of this conversation: What kind of radical leftism do you support, anyway?
The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander

Midweilaisa, I'd dismiss that issue. Ordinary people don't have the business acumen to run a car factory (I certainly don't), but many of us live in RL regions without public transportation.
As for Zoo, it's more complex than a couple of sound bites can articulate. I find romance with animals problematic and sex with animals even moreso. Still, without going too much out on a limb, I recall a classic Star Trek eisode wherein an energy creature was having some kind of romantic or sexual relationship with a human. As we push the boundaries culturally and scientifically, there are always going to be outliers. In my Philosophy of Biology class, the professor claimed that we are genetically closer to chimps of the same sex than we are to opposite sex humans, the sex chromosome Y making the difference. How human do you have to be to be able to give informed consent and get society's blessings on your union? When our ancestors had sex with Neanderthals, was that zoophilia? I don't really care about an embassy in NS one way or another, but I don't think it's worth degrading into a shouting match.

- Speaking out of persona, I feel that this kind of topic (we all know what I am talking about (>_>)) is based on a civil liberty, and therefore, up to individual States to decide whether they are for or against. With freedom of expression comes a very important duty; tolerance. A person's views may come in direct conflict with anothers, but they cannot have an all out flame war to prove their equally subjective viewpoints. I recommend taking it to the threads if you all want to fight over it, or better yet use telegrams. I think I speak for the majority of Hippiedom when I say we would like to end this pointless struggle between light gray and dark gray so that the regional board may be used for more practical stuff. Questions about issues, proposed embassies (ironically, how this whole thing started), and more importantly, the developing map. How is that going Strawberrry?

Neohippies:
"You're overly intolerant and radical animal rights protector."
You're right on both counts. I'm intolerant of those who believe that raping animals not a despicable violation of an animal's rights. Hence, I stand by my statement. As for stupid and immoral, it does appear that the shoe fits you just fine.
"We can't determine whether or not was the act a violation of animal rights or not, because the 'victim' cannot tell us exactly what happened."
Following your logic, raping an infant or a comatose adult human isn't a "violation", as they can't "tell us exactly what happened" either. Pathetic.
"Whoa-ho-ho, harsh words. You could have said that at least with a bit more nicer words, like "I'm sorry, but I can't support an embassy with Zoo because I won't tolerate romantic relationships with animals or zoophilia". That would have been enough for us."
Aww, did I fail to use words that would avoid hurting your precious feelings? Suck it up, baby. I'm not here to cower before perverts. By the way: who's is "us", Kemosabe?
"Plus it's the community that decides whether they want the embassy or not, not you alone thinking your opinions are the right ones and mine are the bad ones."
Wrong again. It's up to the delegate whether an embassy is built or not. I gave my opinion on the matter, and I gave my opinion on yours. It stands. Don't like it? Life ain't fair, sweetheart. Like I said: Suck it up.

I won't "chill out" and "be nice" to animal torturers or those who view them as anything other than animal torturers, any more than I'll be nice to pedophiles, racists, homophobes or misogynists. And I don't give a shrieking sh!t about their feelings, either.
Having said that, it's pretty clear through the opinions noted on the RMB and by the silence of many of the region's residents that many here actually do think that raping animals is no big deal. After all, Star Trek and an anecdote by a nameless "professor" prove it, and it's just a "pointless struggle" between "light gray and dark gray". I feel nauseated and ashamed just being in this region. You may now congratulate each other for your progressive vision of civil liberties since the "rigid and intolerant" one is gone.

The Allied States of Midweilaisa

So, we have three pieces of information, which we will display in order of very important to least important:
1) It has come to our attention that blood donations are at an all-time low in Midweilaisa. To combat this lack of volunteerism on our citizen's part, we have narrowed the options down to two possibilities. One, we pay people to donate blood. Two, we take healthy convicts and have them donate their blood, since they are state owned for a specific length of time. Which option do the States of Hippiedom think we should go with?
2) After much discussion with Stawberrry Fields, they have allowed us to touch up the map to give it more clarity. Now don't worry about your country having to pick a new set of areas; it is nearly identical to the old map. Nearly. It just clears up rogue spots across the coasts and adds more definition to the coastline. It even has measurements! We're drawing up the districts according to Strawberrry's map, then we can showcase it to all of Hippiedom! If any States have any concerns about their areas, just notify us via the Message Board.
3) We have noticed the word "Anti-Fascist" under tags describing Hippiedom. We decided we would look up what the word Fascist meant, but now Wikipedia has us confused. What is a Fascist?
The Free Land of Maripe
188 days ago

1) Maripe would consider it an exploitation of the prison system to take blood from prisoner's without their consent. While they might be imprisoned, the people in prisons still deserve rights to their bodily autonomy. As a nation, we would support paying people to donate blood instead of forcing it in some way.
2) That's awesome! Thank you.
3) Fascism is defined by dictionary.com as " a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism." I would agree with that definition. Fascist governments oppress their people by imposing strong limitations to civil rights and taking away political freedom.

The Collective Dominion of Bear Vikings

Man, my definition of fascism is much more broad... I just think of a fascist government as any government that sides with its corporations and private interests more often than with its citizens and public institutions...
I'd consider middle class and working class citizens having to pay taxes, but GE not having to pay taxes, be a fascist thing.
Obama's healthcare plan, which forces every American to buy private insurance, or be part of a private insurance plan, is a fascist policy.
Corporations being given the same rights as people, but none of the legal drawbacks, is a fascist philosophy.
Cutting welfare and dropping people from unemployment, while bailing out American corporations, I'd consider to be a fascist economic measure.
I think that racism, nationalism, dictatorship, and things like that are all just symptoms of fascism, but they all have the same goals in mind. Fascists will use those things to help justify and enforce their policies that side against public interests, but in the end, it's just about government siding with corporate interests.

Yea I think "dictionary.com" definition is good, but I would agree with Bear Vikings that it includes corporate & private interests.
Fascism is right wing and nationalism pushed to the extreme. A corporate police state basically. Nazis were fascist, their prob the best example.
In my mind it's basically the opposite extreme to communism, in communism government controls the means of production, whereas in Fascism Corporations control the government. And Corporations isn't limited to business corporations, but includes corporation - organizations, like the Nazi party in Germany.

We do hope the residents of Hippiedom are happy with the results, and are not too sorely disappointed about their regions' geometric restructuring. Everything is in the relatively correct place, but they may look a little different. If there are any concerns, post them on the Message Board or Telegram us. We are hoping to hear feedback, positive and negative. This is currently a work in progress, as a few borders need to be fiddled with and various islands distributed. We would like to apologize to Strawberrry Fields for keeping the Region waiting; we have been off and on working, the internet was down for two days, and the gerrymandering! So much gerrymandering. The worst part according to my geographers was drawing up the districts. They're so, numerous!

uhh, it's good, but that's nothing like the spot I had. I like the older map better those were the spots I actually picked. Also why is it that everyone's nation got smaller and your nation got bigger and is like double the size of anyone else?
The Allied States of Midweilaisa
184 days ago

I was actually thinking the same thing for the past day, believe it or not. I reduced Midweilaisa's size by breaking it into more islands. It did look bigger, but I didn't even notice 'till I uploaded. I was focused on dividing the place evenly and I just colored that whole island as mine. Sorry for the inequality.
The reason the areas are smaller is because the map is bigger: I redid the map completely from square one while trying to maintain the general shape of the original, but it is its own entity. The borders are drawn a little differently, especially in the larger continent: if you will notice some are smaller, but some are also bigger, and there are more plots of land. I am sorry if you do not like how the areas you had chosen were translated; If you wish to move to a more desirable spot, just tell me 3 spots and 2 colors, for the title and the land.
I thank you for the feedback, and I hope more people will tell me how to improve it.
I'm currently thinking of increasing the size of the outlying islands next.

Our great and purple nation probably has a long and perplexing history, somewhere. We just have to find it. Unless it was abducted by aliens. That happens too, you know.
The complex interplay of human, animal and spiritual activities in our country has inspired historians to create some pretty groovy poetry, song, art and dance for - like ages, man - but we suck at keeping administrative records. They're just so damn ugly.
Every time 'the international community' comes asking for statistics we usually point them to our flag: "It's right there. That flag sums it all up. That's our tapestries, our cuneiforms."

After reading your factbook entries, many Bear Vikings have had their interests peaked in the beauty and culture of your nation and people. We would very much like to open up a special trade and tourism fleet of ships to any ports or beaches that you designate us having the right to land or make port in. We can bring with us precious metals, bright environmentalist gadgets and technologies, Dominion food and crafts, mind altering substances, including lots of bud, and of course, our world famous honey wine. In the language of The Dominion, our most special mead would translate, in the most polite terms of the common tongue to "Bear Nectar," although no bears were used or harmed in its making... we could bring these things, and our people could share, trade, drink, get high, and take trips together.

Have you ever made a grilled weed sandwich? It's something I stumbled across before learning how to make canna-butter. Basically, in the process of slicing the cheese, instead of cutting one slice, you cut two, each one half as thick as though you were cutting one. You then take however much green you feel like using (it doesn't take a lot) and (if it's not shake already) break it up into little bits, and try and press it into the cheese, and then sandwiching the green in between the two slices of cheese. When you are cooking the sandwich on the pan, it's important that you do it slow, so the oils in the cheese can pull of the THC crystals off of the green, and you want to give it time to do that before the pan just burns the bread. If you do it properly, you'll feel it in 30-50 minutes. It's not quite as efficient as making canna-butter, but it's still the easiest way I've ever learned to make edibles.
To The Free Land of The Nation of Orpheus
Yeah, I'm trying to lose weight myself, and have tried to reject meat and cow products altogether, and for the most part, am pretty successful... I eat a poop ton of eggs. My favorite thing to make though is one of my breakfast burritos. I start by taking some pinto beans, and just as much salsa, and start simmering that in a pan. As that goes, I'll chop up an onion, and throw that in. This is then followed by garlic, and a poop ton of spices, including hot sauce, and cinnamon... ...I also ad honey... anyway, while this is cooking (on low), I'll chop up a couple jalapenos and habeneros (large cuts of quartered jalapeno and fine cuts of habenero). I then throw in a couple eggs to thicken up what's in the pan (as there's a lot of water in it) and to add protein, and once the eggs are done, I throw in the jalapenos and habeneros, in order to keep them raw, and then I serve up however much I want into a tortilla, and whatever my roommates don't eat, I put into leftover containers. I'm very proud of my burritos. =P

The secret to making really good rice is to put 1 part rice to 2 parts water into a pan with a little salt, pepper and butter ( real butter tastes better and is much healthier than margarine). Bring it to a good boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes for firm rice, 20 to 25 minutes for soft rice. But DO NOT STIR!!!!! If you stir the rice at any time during the cooking process it becomes very sticky and can scorch badly.

Yeah, we're across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. It was settled with Fort Vancouver, which, a couple hundred years ago used to be the largest trading center West of the Rockies, and I believe it was the British Empire's capital of the entire region stretching from southern Oregon all the way to northern British Columbia. Vancouver also used to be the industrial center of the region, and would still be if not for the development of Portland and Seattle. I don't really like Seattle, but Portland's pretty neat. I've got a pretty extreme story though of when I went to Occupy Portland the day of the nationwide Occupy evictions, ordered by Homeland Security...

We agree with St. Stephens, in that this region, proclaiming Hippie values, should promote more pacifism. Even a nation such as ours, which has a sizable military, should only ever use it for defensive purposes. This thinking has rewarded our nation as being in the Top Ten Percent of Most Pacifist Nations.
We have taken the liberty to entile the Hippiedom map, as well as placing an olive wreath next to it. We hope that our fellow nations will take up pacifist practices so one day, the need for weapons will not be an issue.

They usually won't give you that much if you just plead guilty and let the system abuse you, but the system is meant to fight people who try to fight it, so hiring a lawyer and pleading your case, regardless of whether you were actually breaking the law, can actually result in you being in even more trouble, as you actually forced the state into using effort to punish the culture that everyone in Hippiedom enjoys... so yes, indeed, fight the power that be!

Thank you for your reassurance, Orpheus. And yeah, I'm pretty excited for when I get to start smoking again.

I can't wait until I've started an apprenticeship in carpentry, once I'm done with Job Corps, and am able to start smoking again. =P

Well, I'm off to Job Corps. I won't have access to FB and a bunch of other things while I'm there, and I don't know if this site is included...
I'm putting my nation on vacation mode, but it may be likely that I won't be able to log back in in time. If I can't access this site while at Job Corps, I plan on returning as soon as I've finished the program, between 7 months and 2 years from now.
If you guys add a regional password or something, it'd be cool to know what that is, and my brother controls the nation of Abrodia, so, I suppose I could be contacted through him or something, idk... anyway, if I can't log in at Job Corps, I have to say, it's been a pleasure, and I look forward to returning.

Since your arrival there has been nothing but destruction of our homeland. Our world factbook entry gone, regional flag removed, over 60 embassies lost, hidden password put into place, and now two ejections and two banjection, with the promise of more to follow.

The embassies might be annoying to restore. But the WFE and flag are both very easily retrievable and restorable. A password doesn't destroy a region. Really, your only possible argument would be the ejections and banjections. Two of which would probably CTE soon anyway. And even those haven't destroyed the region. It's perfectly alive.

It's very important that the natives continue to argue against the raiders. This plays to their egos and gives them a sense of power, and also gives them opportunities for snarky comments, which is something a great many ns players enjoy anyway.
They may try to hold the region long-term, but who cares? Start a new region, or stay here and go about your business and ignore them as much as possible.
On the plus side, you're about as well off with the raiders here as you would be if defenders took control. They're almost as juvenile and oppressive as raiders.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

lol no, no there not. The defenders plan to free our region and restore me as Delegate. I don't see them grieving regions for fun as you guys are.
Considering the massive dog pile, it will only become more difficult to gather enough people to even try to liberate the region.
Not much of a challenge for you lot don't you think? I mean, isn't part of the fun of holding a region is stopping defenders in there attempts to free it? If you keep such an endorsement gap they won't be able to make as many attempts and thus you loose the fun part of stopping them.
Just saying if you wanted some actually excitement and challenge you wouldn't dog pile like this and would make things interesting by decreasing the gap to insight the defenders into a counter attack.
Or you can continue to grieve and sit here for days on end.. Seems more boring, but eh if you want to take the cowards way out.
The Finders Keepers of A thief in the night

Considering the defenders tried to liberate Ohio with upwards of 20 updaters, the gap of 16 is certainly not insurmountable. Regardless of your attempts to insult us, we'll continue to do as we wish because, for now at least, no one can stop us.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
42 days ago

Finding 20 people to pull of a liberation is not common, you guys only had about 8 to pull off the raid here combined with the sleeper's already built up endorsements.
You just pile them on after you've taken the region. At this point I doubt defenders will have enough people to pull it off, most likely you will boot more and more people until you get bored and leave. What's the fun in that? If you wanted a challenge you'd make it more interesting, but I guess raiders aren't into a challenge any more? You prefer the easy route it seems. Just a shame is all i'm saying.
To my ejected brothers, I have set up Hippy Haven for all the refugees of this vile grieving. Please move there should you find yourself unjustly ejected.

Finding 20 is not common, and yet, in less than a week they have managed to attempt one with 18 here and one with 20+ in Ohio. Defenders have superior numbers available at update. You claim that we only used 8, but my rebuttal to that is, why use more than you need? Could we have found more to participate? Perhaps.
Nibu, if you think you could do what we're doing better, why not give it a try?
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Did you read my post at all??
First, i'm not gona 'give it a try' I gain no pleasure in grieving regions. Second, I said nothing about doing it better, merely that you guys are taking the easy way out and avoiding a real challenge.
And yes you used about 8 nations, your sleeper had alot of endorsements built up before hand, then you all dog piled on after, there is no arguing that fact.
And the only liberation attempt made was the update after you first took the region before you dog piled everyone on. And finding 20 is not easy, otherwise there would have been more attempts made. Why was there no attempt this morning or last night? Cause they didn't have enough people, cause 20 updaters is not common. Maybe in a few days they will get 20 together to try again, if we're lucky.
Which is my point, if you wanted a challenge, the actually fun part of raider to stop the defenders from a counter-attack, you wouldn't dog pile on like this. But you clearly appear to prefer the easy way.

Delegates are elected: if you don't like yours, it's up to you to get him/her unelected. While in power, Delegates can use or abuse their powers as they see fit.
The rules say nothing about the WAD needing to be elected by natives or by others new to the region such in the this case as the raiders/reinforcements.
Also prohibited is the practice of "griefing." Griefing is playing with the primary aim of annoying or upsetting other people. If you do this, the game moderators may take action against you.

Griefing – any one of a set of actions formerly prohibited in NationStates by the griefing rules, including any exertion of control over the movement of natives into or out of the region.
It's important to note that it states 'formerly prohibited', which passwording a region without informing the natives of the PW or ejecting multiple natives used to be illegal before the creation of regional influence.
It's an understandable you'd be confused, griefing includes illegal actions too, but also includes formally illegal actions.

Oh I adore your insults. For being a hippie, you sure are bitter.
The sad fact of your argument is that it is not able to truly be declared as true. There are no present illegal actions being enacted in this raid therefore grieving is not present.

What part of my post was an insult? I was merely trying to inform you of your misconception. Nor did I suggest that anything you've done is illegal.
If you want to disregard the NS FAQ definition of griefing as; 'any one of a set of actions formerly prohibited in NationStates by the griefing rules, including any exertion of control over the movement of natives into or out of the region.'
Fine, I was just trying to save you from further embarrassment of using the term incorrectly.
If it makes you feel any better the article also states;
"many of these definitions are controversial. Often players attempt to use terms such as "griefing" or "native" in different ways, because each term carries good or bad connotations"
The Empire of Sanguinius Dion Diablessa

The NS FAQ definition of griefing - Griefing is playing with the primary aim of annoying or upsetting other people.
The Guide you are sending as a link is a mere look into raiding and defending and is nothing to do with the actual rules and regulations of NS. Those arguments that you try to present fall null and void with no sufficient evidence other than personal feelings on the subject matter due to the issue that your region is in turmoil.

The simplest thing that is being said in all of this is that there one NS Moderator given/listed definition for the term "greifing" and that is - "Griefing is playing with the primary aim of annoying or upsetting other people."
There after, a guide made by a player, not a moderator who makes the rules of the game, is presented furthermore to give new nations a look into the game. The player does not have any official given credibility for the actual definitions but new nations are encouraged to seek out this guide as a first look into different parts of NS.
FAQ lists one official definition for the term "griefing". Those there after are opinionated.

'does not have any official given credibility for the actual definitions'
You don't think including the link in the FAQ or the fact that Sedgistan, a Game Moderator, helped review the guide, doesn't count as an official endorsement of the guide?
If you wana argue there are two definitions of the term, an NS rules one and a Gameplay one, sure I'll buy that, but I think most would consider ejecting natives as griefing, even most raiders admit that. >_>

Well, I think we’ve made our point. Defenders tried a Security Council liberation, and it failed to dislodge us because we are so many. For this same reason, defenders gave up on liberating this region entirely. In a magnanimous gesture, we tied one hand behind our backs, taunting defenders to attack us when our numbers were low. Lesson learned: It only takes one raider to kick defender ass, and that raider’s name is Spartz.
We could stick around a week or two and clean this region out, but that would be tiresome. You can have your damn weed garden; may it bring you happiness. Our work here is done.

So these people make up their own statistical reports and gain nothing from their invasions? Their nations don't evolve in any way?
They give themselves (actually their nations) titles like "general" and "commander". They don't have WA delegates in their home region and don't seem interested in NS politics. They spend a lot of time watching what others are doing and planning where to move next. All this just so they can "invade" a region that doesn't care about "raiding" or "defending"?
I don't get it. What's the driving force behind this odd behaviour? If we'd been arguing with them on the forums I could (sort of) understand it, but this just seems pointless. A region in NS is basically a discussion forum for people with similar interests and anyone can start one. If you get invaded because your founder stopped playing, you can just start a new region, or move to another one that meets your criteria.
I have to say this raider vs. defender "war" is the weirdest meta game I've ever seen in any game, and the fact that the nations and regions that don't take part at all are actually the ammunition makes it totally incomprehensible to me.
If time played, size of the population, your accumulated influence and things like that were factors, and you could grow stronger from invading or defending; then I could understand it, but this...

I don't think you're missing anything. It seems like they just wanted to bother us and play out their war thing, and we were pretty much like "Hey man, that's kind of rude." Also, I'm sure the planning is fun for them. Like, TrueFae was in Hippiedom for a really long time just laying low and hanging out, so it must have been worth it to him. I agree that this invasion seemed pointless. We're a nation called Hippiedom. Pacifism and cannabis friendly are a few of our defining features. The raid interrupted the forum and made Strawberry Fields have to go out to do counter-measure stuff.
At least they only mildly messed up the region page and then left. Better than destroying everything and kicking out even more nations.

See the world burn?
Let's say someone is standing on a street corner with a hundred pamphlets they're giving away to passers-by. A group of high school graduates in homemade T-shirts with the word "Raider" and some fascist/Nazi symbol runs up and snatches 60 pamphlets, writes "We raided here!" with a marker pen across the original text and start bragging to the people on the street about it, waving their 60 pamphlets about as proof of their achievement. Wouldn't people just say "Erm, right..." and continue with their lives?
What these boys do, as far as I can understand, is they get 20 or 30 people together, move to a founderless region and endorse the same delegate to gain control. They then kick the original members and password protect the region.
Who's impressed by that? That's just basic NS mechanics. Don't they just look silly when they brag about it?
Anyway, since we're founderless and don't have pwd protection it won't be long before this happens again. Time to move to Hippie Haven, perhaps?
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Honestly i'm not sure where to go from here long term. Because, your right this can and probably will happen again eventually.
We are left we a few choices, first, build up a massive endorsement count on the delegate and have a really strict endorsement cap. Or try to refound, which would take a really long time and require repealing the liberation resolution so we can password, then moving everyone out, then refound the region and pray we can refound without some prick messing it up. Of course that would take months and we have to wait till we're not so much in the public eye as we are.
For now, I'm going to focus on cleaning up the mess here. Restore the old WFE, flag, embassies and ejecting the remaining raiders.
Hippy Haven will remain open and I expect some will stay there to avoid situations like these.

Let me know if I missed anyone or anything. In the coming days I will work to get our numbers back up, and we can discuss further on where to go from here. It would be helpful for anyone not in the WA to join and endorse me, use a secondary nation if you don't want your main nation in the WA. Also if you have any friends from RL who might be interested, have them join NS and the WA. Every endorsement counts.
The Commonwealth of Delaroca

You're doing great, Strawberry.
Everyone needs to endorse him ASAP to stop another invasion in the meantime.
The attention has been on us lately, and I am looking forward to some peace. However, I do not know that we should attempt to password protect the region. Would it not being going against the free love of our hippie ideals? I want anyone peaceful to be able to come into Hippiedom. If we can build up endorsements on our delegate and keep an eye out, would we be OK?
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
39 days ago

Well it can be done, the region NationStates is the best example of that.
We'd need to get my endorsements up to atleast 30, ideally more like 40 or 50. I had 28 endorsements at one point. We'd also need to have a stricter endorsement cap so a sleeper can't build up too many endorsements, as that is the main reason they were able to pull off this raid to begin with.
If we pull together, do some massive recruiting and get a more WA nations in here it could be done.
And all things considered, we still have a pretty good track record compared to other founderless regions, as that was the first time we've ever been raided.
The Community of St Stephen n Critters

We've been raided before, they just weren't successful In June 2011 we were saved by TITO forces.
Back then we had our founder around too, so when he came back after a long break, he could fix things. I had to pwd protect the region while we were waiting for him to return. I think I finally got in touch with him by regular email.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
35 days ago

I know the old founder him and I are friends, and never lost contact with him, talked to him during the raid even. He is also the founder of our sister region,Communist Beach. Although he doesn't have regular access to the internet.
Many have asked me if his nation could be restored, and I expect i'll have to answer this question many more times.
Unfortunately his nation was deleted by the mods and cannot be restored, i've asked the mods myself.
He had been campaigning for a leftist WA resolution with one of his nations and apparently did somethings against the rules during his campaign and got that nation deleted. So he used his nation that founded Hippiedom to message the mods asking why, i'm guessing wasn't very polite in the message being upset about it, and they deleted that nation too.
So unless we wana go through the lengthy process to refound, or relocate, we're gona be stuck founderless. :/
The United Socialist States of Hippie Commies
35 days ago

so why not refound? it's worth the effort, since otherwise we'll keep getting raided.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
35 days ago

Well that's alot easier said then done my friend.
First, we'd have to repeal the Liberation resolution that was recently passed. Which that in itself is no easy task, nor guaranteed to pass if tried.
Assuming we pull that off, we then password the region so no one can enter and begin having people move out to another region temporarily. Which would take a long time to move everyone out, many here are not too active, some haven't logged on since before the raid and don't even know it happened.
Then to do the actually refounding, on the night of refounding i'd have to boot the remaining people who didn't move, move out, wait for the region to cease to exist, and then refound the region hoping that I refound it before some random person or god forbid a raider refounds the region. Very very risky to do.
In the process of doing this we'd loose a ton of regional history, past posts, longest serving delegate, Regional Power level, etc etc. We'd also likely end up loosing a chunk of our regional population in the process of nations who don't return.
Not to mention we're large region and i'm not sure everyone would be on board with such a risky plan.
I'm open to the idea if people really wana try it, but it's gona require alot of effort and probably take months to accomplish.

The Allied States of Midweilaisa

Hmm, this is a tough one. I would say go for re-founding, but we do loose a lot of history. I feel like the loss in regional power wouldn't hit too hard (the topics in the World Assembly are trivial at best, but we can help other regions in need of rescue) The loss in population might make the place feel empty for a while. However, it would provide the nations a safe place to be Hippy. Is there a way we could save the history? I'm not sure of the importance of longest serving delegate, but I really would like to see nearly nine years of posts and history saved somehow. If we can find a way to do that I'm all for it; until then I'd wait for a good majority for it.
The Forest Glade of Ora Amaris
35 days ago

I would say no - unless we get invaded again.
If that happens, then I think it would be a good back-up plan.
But we really don't need to right now.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
34 days ago

Well I think we will have atleast a month or two before another group tries to invade us, I expect we should be alright for a while, but it is only a matter of time.
We could say some elements of the region's history by storing it on the Hippiedom forum, such as the regional message board post we could do a massive copy-paste onto the forum. It doesn't go back 9 years, only 1 year 242 days ago when NS added the saving RMB feature to the game. The region's only 7 years old btw.
But personally the approach i'd like to try before refounding would be to build up a massive endorsement count and enact a stricter endorsement cap. As I was saying earlier we get my endorsements up to atleast 30, ideally more like 40 or 50. (I had 28 endorsements at one point.) With that and a stricter endorsement cap so a sleeper can't build up too many endorsements, as that is the main reason they were able to pull off the raid to begin with, we'd be alot safer.
So if you get the chance do some recruiting, invite your real life friends to join NS and the WA, join the WA if you haven't yet. If everyone got atleast one new WA nation to join our region we' be more than double were we are now.

Welcome to Hippiedom!
Yes the new SC proposal is very interesting. I approved it to bring it to vote.
I was originally going to vote for it, although I changed my mind as a favor to a friend. A friend I know from another region, I recently found out he also has a nation in NE. He says non of the active members are actually Nazis.
I think NE is more about 'playing the bad guy' than actually being Nazis. Since the region lost it's founder it has been in decline and not threat to anyone. Being founderless and Nazi themed they already are regularly targeted for raids. I see no reason to kick them when their down.
But maybe i'm too merciful.

I need to go read that SC proposal.
The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander
34 days ago

Let me be contrarian to the majority sentiment expressed thus far. As you know, I am the ambassador for Philosophy 115. How many times has P115 been raided? 0. How many attempts have there been? 0. That's because from the beginning we've had an active founder and the raiders know the best they can do is unseat the delegate until the founder logs back on. No region is fundamentally safe without an active founder. If even Lazarus could be raided by a coordinated alliance of raiders, there's no way we can accumulate enough endorsements to be completely safe.
I've guided a couple of regions through refounding and would be glad to offer my advice here as well. Two raids in two (?) years is two too many and is a wake-up call to us all. Doing it right is a pain in the butt and it's not without some element of risk, but sooner or later we'll be raided by a group determined to destroy the region, not just annoy us, and then it will be too late.
The Allied States of Midweilaisa
33 days ago

I would like to cast my vote for refounding now, in light of new evidence. I thought we would have to save years of posts, and that would take up a lot of space, but if it's only a year and a half, that's easy to save.
I've only been here for the last raid, but if we've been raided twice, we can't just assume it's a one off. Even if Strawberrry is to get 30+ endorsements, I'm sure the Black Hawks would be more than able to get a raiding party of arge enough size to topple him (No offense Strawberry).
The only problem I see with refounding is the number of our non-active members. If we refound, it would decrease our numbers significantly; it may feel lonely for quite some time.
As for regional power, I'm not sure as to it's importance other than World Assembly votes. Why is it important?
The Commonwealth of Delaroca

I've been keeping an eye on our old invaders, and they have consistently invaded regions our size who are founderless. They have invaded and left Hell and are currently controlling the Eastern Islands of Dharmasince they invaded us. They cause inconvenience then move on. They're more like a pest outbreak than invaders.
I am not resolutely against re-founding. I'll follow Hippiedom whatever it does. It seems that we cannot both have convenience and the guarantee of safety.

The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

Well as much as i'd hate to do it, I think long term it might be wiser to refound.
I'd like to have a ton of endorsements and believe that would be enough, but to think that we'd never be raided again if we remain founderless is presumptuous. And one day we could be attack by a region who intends to destroy us and then it would be too late.
Neither choice really appeals to me, but it is probably more logical to go with long term security than short term idealism.

The Holy Orange Vaticanate of Orange Pomander

In light of the prevalence of raiders, IMHO we should NOT post our plans for anyone to see. Communicate by TG.
First, SF should put the region on lockdown with a password.
Second, almost all of the nations should move to Hippy Haven (or another region of your choice); those not cooperating (for whatever reason) should be given a ticket to TRR.
Third, on a date known only to SF, he should bounce out the few remaining nations right before the update and leave himself, letting the region CTE.
Fourth, he should immediately refound the region. Congratulations, we've been refounded and have a founder again!
Fifth, invite back all the people in Hippy Haven and TRR and let the good times roll! Pass around a blunt in celebration!
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields
31 days ago

Yea that's basically the plan I had in mind. Got a few extra steps, got to repeal the liberation resolution so we can password. Then also when we get close to point of refounding, I will probably boot the last few remaining nations so i'm the last one in the region, booting them to the rejected realms could get raiders attentions, so I plan to then wait a few days more to be overly sure no one watching the day of.
I will submit the repeal I wrote for review in the NS forum soon, i'm a bit busy today, gotta go pick up some ganja in a minuet.

Looks like the mods got to him to keep it a secret! It's a conspiracy I tell you.
Nice job on the map Midweilaisa! Been awhile since it's been added to, maybe a few other new nations will want a spot.

Greetings Hippiedom,
Allow me to introduce myself. I am The Mother Trucker of San Cannabis, the founder of Du Maurier. Anyone who has been in this region a great deal of time will know Du Maurier was around for the founding of Hippiedom and was one of Hard Line Commies greatest ally's. I hope to resume this alliance on account of Du Maurier's re-founding. I also want to try to help you guys out as much as I can. I will be putting my vote forward in your repeal. Unfortunately it's only one vote, but every one counts at this point. Good luck guys and take care.

Yes, many have already telegraphed me wanting spots, but I feel I need to reiterate the guidelines for going about getting them.
A state seeking a spot on the map needs three things.
Number one, three patches of territory where your state will reside. They go on a first come first serve, so if you really want a particular area, come get it now.
Number two, a color for the territory. You want your state to pop out and be remembered.
Number three, a color for your title. Try to pick something that contrasts well with the color of the territory you picked please.
If these can be addressed in the first telegram I can get to work on the map immediately; if otherwise I may have to spend a few telegrams doing Q&A's which may give another state the opportunity to take the territory, meaning the process goes on even longer.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you on the map soon!

Guess what region I just stumbled across? The Hippiedom!
We share something else in common, their founderless too and have been raided recently.
What surprises me most is that the region has been around for a long time, like 4 years or so, and I had no knowledge they ever existed. No contact ever made between the two regions. Think we'd at least have an embassy.

Hmm, I wonder who voted against the resolution here.
The John Lennon Utopia of Strawberrry Fields

The nation voting against the repeal is really new to the region moved in while the repeal was up to vote. He is probably uniformed or maybe an outside influence. The reason I know who voted against it is because him and another nation who moved in this week have been 'red flagged', as a precautionary measure they may be eject, but i'm working to avoid that.
The natives in 'The Hippiedom' just seem to be inactive, maybe once we get things in order here we can lend them aid.

I try to say the rules for getting a state on the map so it's not lost in the Older Messages. To get a state, you pick three plots of land, a color to shade them, and another color to title them.
And as for the discovery of this essentially long lost twin region The Hippiedom, are we going to try refound with them? It seems they are having as much trouble as we had a month ago. We could make our hippy family twice as large as it is now, and everyone will be protected!

I will talk to the residents of 'The Hippiedom' maybe we can arrange something. They only have 10 nations, none really active, maybe they can join us down the line though.
Also, as many of you have noticed we have a regional password in place. We are in the beginning of a process that will take some time to accomplish, require patience, and cautious follow through on carefully laid plans. Please be sure to check your telegrams and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
So begins the great Hippy migration.

Oh yea that's not a bad resolution either, I approved it!
NV, you weren't the only one, 3 people were voting against the repeal but change when I tg them info. I was referring to a different nation in my last post.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is defiantly one of my favorite songs, I did a painting of it a while back, I've actually been planning on doing another one on a larger scale.

Hey guys in order to speed up this process, I have begun ejecting the more inactive nations who haven't logged on in 20+ days.
They have all been telegramed (several times) about the situation and will be welcomed back to Hippiedom once we finish.
