Embassy Introduction

Welcome to the Embassy of Slavia! Here, members of the international community can discuss anything Slavia related. Updates, announcements, news articles, and basically anything having to do with the region will be posted here. Everyone is welcome to take part and discuss these publications in this thread, and we encourage everyone to do so.

Regional Introduction

Slavia was founded in November 2012, it is one of two Pan-Slavic regions on NS, although non-Slavs are encouraged to join the community. It peaked at over 110 nations April 2013, although after the original founder CTE'd the community decided to refound. It currently sits at just over 70 nations. The Slavian Army has traditionally been quite active, although not especially successful, and has recently been restarted after refounding. Slavia has been an FRA member as of December 2, 2013.

Community: One of the great traits of our region is the community. We have one of the most interesting and politically verified cultures in the game, and we are proud of it. Thanks to the non-partisan, Pan-Slavist ideology that the region is founded on, all kinds of ideologies are found here. The region has both significant communist and capitalist influences. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ideology (well, actually we don't really fascists, to be honest, but other than that...).

Government: A democratic government administers the region. The Delegate, who is elected for a three-month term, holds complete authority regarding internal regional affairs but is responsible to the Parliament. The Parliament is the legislative house within Slavia. All citizens can join if they wish. The other governement officials are the Executive Council, which is composed of officials elected by the Parliament (or occasionally appointed by the Delegate, in the case of a mid-term vacancy). Members are responsible for foreign affairs, the army and organizing regionwide events.

Embassy Introduction

Welcome to the Embassy of Slavia! Here, members of the international community can discuss anything Slavia related. Updates, announcements, news articles, and basically anything having to do with the region will be posted here. Everyone is welcome to take part and discuss these publications in this thread, and we encourage everyone to do so.

Regional Introduction

Slavia was founded on the 15th of November 2012, it is one of two Pan-Slavic regions on NS, although non-Slavs are encouraged to join the community. It grew over a period of months, until it peaked at over 110 nations April 2013. Sadly, our original founder was mistakenly and unfairly deleted at around June/July, which the wisdom of the Slavian community decided to refound, and currently sits at just over 70 nations. The Slavian Army has traditionally been quite active, although especially successful, and has recently been restarted after refounding. Slavia is currently in the process of applying for FRA membership. It has recently launched the successful "Operation Dawn", which has lead to over 10 regions being liberated from raiders. We have recently established our own regional parliament, which passes laws and regulation to insure a better and more transparent Slavia. It is famed for it's competition of SlaviaVision and The Slavia Good Citizens Awards.

Community: One of the great traits of our region is the community. We have one of the most interesting and politically verified cultures in the game, and we are proud of it. Thanks to the non-partisan, Pan-Slavist ideology that the region is founded on, all kinds of ideologies are found here. The region has both significant communist and capitalist influences. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ideology (well, actually we don't really fascists, to be honest, but other than that). We encourage open discussion of political matter and ideal between our members, which can lead to interesting debates that almost never get out of hand. We also support informative criticism of how Slavia works and functions. Anyway, with the the right tone and evidence can extend their dislike of the way Slavia works as long as they offer a sensible alternative.

Government: A democratic government administers the region. The Delegate, who is elected for a 60 day term, holds complete authority regarding internal regional affairs but is responsible to the Parliament. The Parliament is the legislative house within Slavia. All citizens can join if they wish. The other government officials are the Executive Council, which is composed of officials elected by the Parliament (or occasionally appointed by the Delegate, in the case of a mid-term vacancy). Members are responsible for foreign affairs, the army and organizing region wide events. This is all bound by the Slavia Constitution, which was made in the beginning of 2013 and has had minor amendments. We always refer to it in order to respond and conduct political matters fairly and properly.

Military: The Slavian People's Army is the official military force of Slavia (A good one if that). It's main focuses are defending foreign regions, and maintaining regional stability. It is an organization consisting of volunteer nations/conscripts that commit themselves to counter raids, and defend the Mother-Region. The Slavian People's Army was formed to organize a military force that could be deployed with a single call, rather than the administration of Slavia having to call upon many different nations during operations. It's activities include defense operations and public celebrations. The Slavian People's Army was formed during the historic Operation Reichstag, where it defeated a region more than twice our size. It has famously beaten The Greater German Reich, The Communist Region, and The Black Riders - Not many have such a successful record such as that.

Yes. But I personally am not an FRA member (and not just because I'm banned from their forums )

Also, I don't remember that clause ever being in the constitution before, and it wasn't approved by the region AFAIK. Also, why did you need to post a revised OP, Bol? You could've TGed the edits for me to edit in without bumping the thread.

So, Bolguria got bored, recorded his voice and his region, and made a video...

SLAVIA FOREIGN UPDATE, NOVEMBER 2013

Slavia joins the Founderless Regions Alliance

The flags of Slavia and the FRA

As of December 2, 2013, Slavia is officially an FRA member region. Slavia decided to go defender in order to restart military activity, as the army had been inactive for nearly 4 months prior to joining. As of joining, Slavian Army Members (except for NPU, who isn't an FRA member and who can do whatever the hell he wants) were set to work detagging TBR's bazillion tags; a mission that has met with moderate success so far. In an odd turn of events, Slavia's Minister of Foreign Affairs; that demigod of Polishness, The North Polish Union; was unable to attend the talks that led to Slavia's entry into the FRA because he is banned from the FRA forums. Both parties hope that this unfortunate occurrence will not strain affairs between the two entities in the future.

Republic of Slovsko wins WA Delegate elections

Slovsko celebrates his landslide victory.

Republic of Slovsko, a long-time member of Slavia, won the elections for the Delegacy of Slavia in a landslide victory. Slovsko gained 13 votes, as opposed to the current Delegate Albul's 4 and The North Polish Union's 3. Sitting in last place was Slavia's beloved resident troll, Lipnitia, who only managed to garner 1 vote, up from his 0 in the previous elections. Slovsko was elected on a platform of political neutrality and relaxing the (very few) current restrictions on free speech, and has further promised to try to revitalize the Parliament, which has stagnated after having a short burst of activity last month. We wish Slovsko the best and hope that his term will be happy and prosperous.

Slavia helps liberate Slavya from UIAF

The Slavian Bear Cavalry rides to liberate Slavya

On November 30, Slavya, one of Slavia's oldest allies, was the target of a UIAF-led raid. Thankfully, Slavia and several other defender groups teamed up and restored the previous delegate, Abasha, to the delegacy after an occupation of only one update. It is hoped that this period of cooperation will grow relations between Slavya and Slavia to heights that they have never yet attained, and in fact, proposals of a merger were discussed shortly after the raid, although nothing is expected to come of the idea for the forseeable future.

that demigod of Polishness, The North Polish Union; was unable to attend the talks that led to Slavia's entry into the FRA because he is banned from the FRA forums

Are you sure about that?
We only ban accounts in few cases: for breaking the ToS or forum rules (ie, spamming), or because of a RA-enforced ban (which presently should be limited to three individuals - Govindia, Sephion, Unibot). Invaders have a restricted masking, but are otherwise allowed.

[Frattastan II]

Hmm. Do you have a registered account, and if so what is it?

[The North Polish Union]

Hmm. Do you have a registered account, and if so what is it?

No. I've just never been able to access the FRA forums.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, I've had this problem with ZetaBoards before, where I haven't been able to access forums. Usually it's intermittent though, my problem with the FRA's forum seems more consistent.

[Charax]

"Slavian Bear Cavalry"

Oh my. This almost makes me want Spiritus to join the FRA.

Everyone wants a bear cavalry. Only Slavs are badass enough to have them.

Any chance I could take one of those Bad Boy Bears out for a... spin... I suppose...?

They are only tame enough to ride after they've eaten pirozhki spiked with vodka. So if you have any of that, sure, give it a try.

I've got some energy drink and a packet of Doritos.

SLAVIA REFOUNDED

Citizens rejoicing in the streets after Slavia's refound

On May 14, 2014, after a 5-month-long struggle. The region of Slavia finally has a founder again. The process began on January 2, 2014, when Slavia's previous founder was unfortunately deleted. That same day, the United Imperial Armed Forces (UIAF) invaded Slavia on the basis of Slavia's membership in the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA), a claim which was disputed by many of Slavia's members, who claimed Slavia had left the FRA on December 24, 2013.

The UIAF occupation lasted for nearly 50 days, and was destructive enough to necessitate an SC liberation of the region. Hostile foreign occupation ended on February 21, when an FRA-led coalition of defenders took the region while the UIAF was attempting a refound.

Control of the region reverted to the natives in early April, and then the refound process truly began. The liberation was repealed and a password set up. The efforts were finally completed on May 13, when The North Polish Union ordered all nations to leave the region. The next day, all remaining nations in the region were ejected and the region was refounded by Bolkania.

Celebrations immediately broke out throughout the Slavic world.

Slavia has not yet perished!
