This is simply dope. I am not even member of TBC but I can't get enough of this video format.

Thanks Perg! I know our editor works really hard on these, I'll make sure to pass on the compliment to him ^_^

I am really surprised by this video format. Looks great. Good job.

Well why thank you for the compliments! Zenny did tell me about someone complementing me, but I never found who was until now. I will be sure to continue this format as long as people watch it and enjoy it (also get brainwashed).

[Revall]

You can't brainwash me.

Although I must remark on an unrelated note, that red has recently become my favorite color.

TCB Central News: May 31st, 2016

Very well done!

[TCB Central News Agency]

The following articles were included in TCB's 12th foreign update, distributed globally in late May.

Activity, Culture, and Population! Oh My!





Since the beginning of the campaign for the 2nd session of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of TCB, our region's seen a spike in activity. April became our most active month ever, reaching a little over 4,100 posts. Credit for this can be put down to an overwhelming swell in political engagement, alongside exponential social development thanks to both growing enthusiasm among the masses of the Party and the persistent capable leadership of the Party.


Cultural participation has underpinned this spike in social development and productivity, with the Ministry of Culture working around the clock in its provision of regular gaming and social events for the region to partake in. From Cards Against Humanity, Europa Universalis IV to Town of Salem, cultural identity is rich and pervasive in its expansive uplifting nature. As the central theme of the current administration it's certain that this success within the Ministry of Culture will continue to expand in its current operations, in search of many a more firsts to come in TCB's near future.


This striving success finds commonality in the executive, with the Ministry of Immigration also making massive leaps forward during April, gathering over $300 in just a 7 day period, ensuring TCB not only continues to receive masses of enthusiastic newcomers, but that our region maintains its position among the top 15 regions in the entirety of the world. This achievement is most clearly illustrated by TCB's recent ascent to finding itself in the acclaimed position of being directly behind 10000 Islands as the 2nd Largest User-Created Region in NationStates.

Diversity and the LGBTQ+ Population of TCB





The LGBTQ+ Federation of TCB has been equally strident as an organization in its supply of helpful information to our community concerning the plight of the LGBTQ community outside of NS, as well as in providing members an area in which they may discuss issues in relation to sexual identity and sexuality. The Federation recently conducted a poll, on its conclusion finding that approximately 52% of TCB identifies with a sexuality other than heterosexuality. This is most keenly indicative of the society the Party nurtures, in ensuring acceptance, promoting equality, and striking down bigotry of any form. Consequently, TCB enjoys one of the largest LGBTQ communities in NS, whereby mere tolerance is thrown aside in favour of a full acceptance into a loving community.

Party April Elections





Elections for the 2nd session of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of TCB concluded on April 10th. The election saw 9 members take up position in the Central Committee, in due compliance with TCB’s constitution which demands 1 seat per 150 resident nations. Comrades Piper, Franky_ce, Stalingo, Gabriel Xavier, Branden Schirpke, Lewis Flood, Comrade Chromania, M.M., and English Men and Women were honoured by the electorate in being selected to represent Party interests and to serve on the Central Committee.


Regrettably, comrade Stalingo later resigned with impeccable rectitude due to real-life time constraints, with his position later being filled by comrade James following a crowded and characteristically competitive CC election, beating 6 fellow party members to fill the remaining CC seat.


Elections for General Secretary of the Party concluded on April 18th, less dramatically than expected. Nonetheless, in a stunning show of political participation, and enthusiastic support, a record breaking 50 votes were cast in what was expected to be a heavily contested election. Comrade and former General Secretary Josh Conure originally ran for re-election, though later dropped out during the final day of the campaign, apologising with due humility for what had been perceived to be a negative campaign fought on personality, and not primarily for the Party. The result of his withdrawal ensured a landslide victory for comrade Zenny, winning 86% of the vote while satirically motivated candidates Franky_ce and Lewis Flood received 8 and 6 percent of the vote. This victory signaled the masses continued commitment to TCB's competent and innovative government, laying the issue of a single party system to rest.

Statement on Grand Central and Sexual Harassment Policy

TCB's government and community has always and will continue to have a no-tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment, both in regards to our internal affairs and our dealings with other regions. We refuse to cooperate or have formal diplomatic communication with any regions which harbors or attempts to harbor known sexual harassers. It is with this policy in mind that TCB has decided to cut all diplomatic and military ties with Grand Central.

Many citizens of TCB had previously joined Grand Central as our regions continued close military cooperation, only to be disgusted by the climate of tolerance found when two well-known harassers had their citizenships accepted. We condemn the actions of GC's root administrator accepting these users in the first place, going on to not only defend these users but joining the attempts of one to discredit the main victim as irrational and ill.

We thank Grand Central for their hospitality. However can no longer in good conscience maintain diplomatic and military ties with Grand Central.

THEREFORE, The Communist Bloc agrees as follows:

Preamble:

Twelve years ago, three regions came together in order "to enhance the dying production of the invader cause... Here is a new alliance, of prime incorporations to create a brand-new raider region to mark the beginning of a mint time, a novel age, the Age of Invaders.

Article I: Charter of the Invader Network

We, the sovereign invader regions of the world, are hereby determined:

To forge a meritocratic invader alliance comprised of individuals from many different regions around the world who have bound together with a common purpose - to combat the defender scourge;

To unite marginalized invaders through the effective education of aspiring gameplayers in the art of invading through the promotion and spread of raider ideals;

To eradicate the fruitless political institutions that defenders have created to justify their dying cause;

To abide by all NationStates rules of conduct and to eschew the use of illegal methods in the pursuit of our ideology;

And to bring all enemies of the state to their knees through an eternal war against all that oppose these underlying principles.

We, the following signatories, agree to the above terms without reserve and hereby establish The Invader Network.

Three cheers for the brave soldiers of the Bloc!

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Today at 1600 Bloc Time, three soldiers of the People's Revolutionary Armed Forces captured and claimed the region of Cult of Shadows. The glorious flag of the Bloc now flies over the region.

The soldiers captured the region swiftly with some defender help. (Thanks Thomas! )

The invasion force was as follows:

General of the PRAF Trabardia, Commanding Officer and Point
Private Masada-Pelosi
Private Stiegae

I remember when raider groups boasted about impressive feats instead of literally one single tag raid.

[Vivec the God-King]

I remember when raider groups boasted about impressive feats instead of literally one single tag raid.

They're probably not recruiting enough.

[Zenny]

I remember when raider groups boasted about impressive feats instead of literally one single tag raid.

This assumes TCB is raider. Either way, agreed.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

A hit's a hit to be proud of either way And every hit is worth a lot more recently than they once were...

[RiderSyl]

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Every time a report starts like this, I'm reminded of TBR.

A hit's a hit to be proud of either way And every hit is worth a lot more recently than they once were...

Sad, but true.
