you’re not going to convince enough people to outnumber the any one of the feeders or any of the other regions you’re threatening. at least not any time soon.

3 Close your embassies with every Communist region on the site, burn all the regions down that you can, then make the rest as miserable as you can, while ceasing your attacks against all non Nazis/Fascists (like Centrists, Monarchists, Christains, Liberals, Conservatives, Libertarians etc.), then I'll gladly take into consideration a region's political standings before I open relations with them,
(which is technically something that I have done already, but you've conveniently left that part out since it would help you out with making fit into your narrative, would it?)
or you could leave people alone unless they're causing genuine trouble for people.

4 I've always had a rule in Raxula that anyone regardless of their political leanings could join the Empire so long as they didn't attempt to promote their ideologies if I happened to dislike them (like if they were Nazis, Communists, etc) and for one thing Bell never broke that rule so I never had a reason to kick her out, and for another one I believe in giving people second chances and being forgiving towards people cause it's what Jesus did, and that applies to everyone including Nazis, and that's what I did to Bell, by granting her my trust, friendship, and kindness, and regardless of what y'all do to me I'll never regret having had a part to play in melting the anger and hatred which she had carried for all the years that she did, and making her what I hope to be a better person.

5 Yes I'm defending inalienable right of people that you disagree with to be able to speak freely and hold whatever beliefs they wish regardless of how good or vile they are, so long as they don't violate the rights of others, and that goes for litterly everyone, including people that you call "right wing bigots".

6 I get the feeling that the Fascism and Antisemitism thing was a blatant lie to help pass the NWA proposal cause I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in that region. (And I mean the genuine stuff, not the "they're right of Marx therefore they're a Fascist" catch all term that the Left loves to use on people) And as such still consider the raid on NWA to be unjust.

Of course someone that happens to reside in one of the target regions would try to do everything they can to discourage their enemy from attempting to fight them, while trying to make themselves appear as strong as possible.

And I did say gradually, or suddenly.

It's had a very impressive amount of growth in the past few days tbh.

Btw, when is the region going to get a flag for itself?

Nothing, Nationalist Northumbria is just salty.

Because he pretended to raid Islamic States, while The League actually did raid an Islamic States.

He claims that he raided Islamic States, but he actually just made one post (i.e a joke adout oil) and sat around until the league came in.
