Also one of my Hanve's, Fenstag, guest starred in this comic. I don't know where he is though, he probably should have been back by now... Extended Cut of this comic may be coming soon

Time to request countryballs again

Can someone do a comic of Fardhin and Samporna in an argument, then have Bruneian Malaya come in using the following script? I'd do it myself but my wacom pen isn't exactly working right now.

Fardhin : Am biggest you filthy commie!
Samporna : Well am older you filthy autocrat!
Bruneian Malaya : What you guys of talking about?

Make sure to make it so that Bruneian Malaya is big enough to cast a shadow upon both Fardhin and Samporna. Emphasize a notable age difference. As it goes, Bruneian Malaya is the eldest being founded during the 17th century, Samporna the second eldest being founded during the 19th century, and Fardhin the youngest being founded during the 22nd century.

On the sidelines, there is a Viñakball (a 5-ball or 7-ball) crying because the other balls are ignoring the Viñak religion. Viñaks are the indigenous peoples of Voxija.

I have a request:
In the first panel, 5 Kromiballs have a time machine and they time travel to 1st January 2017 in the second panel.

They then would storm Najib's (Represented as Malaysiaball with square glasses) office in the third panel and then demand Najib to sign a paper in the fourth. Najib then signs the paper in the fifth panel and it time skips to 11th May 2017, many Malaysiaballs fight past Kromiballs using the first flag of Kromi in the sixth panel.

All Kromiballs glitch out and disappear in the seventh panel and the Malaysiaballs would forget they had a civil war going on and begin questioning what they were doing in the eighth. In the final panel, Another Kromiball would be staring at a pond and questions why he doesn't exist.

Sorry if this is too long.

Request:
Two 1balls, a male and a female, are getting married. The next scene the male 1ball leads the female 1ball into a room and locks the door in order to make a "pact" between them. There could be an optional timeskip scene here. The last scene, the same two 1balls stand facing the viewer, and a small TDRball is in the middle in front of them — it could be crying to show it is a baby.

As usual, the dialogue is up to you.
Why did I choose 1balls instead of particular nations? They are representing my puppets that I do not want to announce. If you would like to take this request and you are interested about the nations, you may telegram me for the nations. But if not, then 1balls are also fine.

Thanks!

Howdy folks! I've got quite a large request so perfectly understandable if you cannot fulfill it. No pressure!

I was wondering if one of you magnificent artists could make a N-Day celebration art piece with all members listed here and myself in it with an N-Day 4 banner above us.

If not, perfectly understandable! Thanks in advance either way :D

Hi everyone! I have a comic idea relating to IC news, as follows:
  1. The gate of a UDE school, guarded on both sides by UDEballs with police caps and rifles. A small Holy Dawetidish Empireball is carrying his schoolbag, walking out and in fear, with other little UDEballs that are smiling.
  2. The HDEball continues walking until he sees a UDEball police. The police stops him and says “gib cigar” while the HDEball replies “no have”
  3. The UDEball jumps on top of the HDEball, says “say again, have or no?” while carries out a whip, and strikes the HDEball to the point he starts bleeding, now the HDEball could be shouting “help”
  4. A bigger HDEball (a female, representing his mother) sees this and gets mad, says “what you’re doing to my son?!”
  5. Both the big HDEball and UDEball police get into a fight, and both are injured, while the child HDEball would already have his eyes X-ed out and covered in blood.
  6. At court, behind the judge’s seat is a large UDE flag, showing the judge — a UDEball.
  7. Showing that the plaintiff is the mother HDEball, the defendant is the UDEball police, both with the wounds from before.
  8. The UDEball judge reads the following judgement:
    The defendant is innocent, but the plaintiff will be charged (insert multi-digit number) yuen for interference with official acts. Case closed.

I understand that it is a big request, so take your time, and thanks in advance! Anything you don’t understand, or if you need further info, just ask me!

I actually have a whole dispatch dedicated to NSBalls for my region

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1181651
The North Sea People's Republic, colloquially known as Northaria, established in 1421 A.D. (current constitution: 2022).
A multiethnic Northern European nation with strong democratic and anti-feudal traditions, now building socialism.
We use NS stats, with the exception of tax rates and the related stats. The Northarian population is roughly 88.5 million as of last census.
Member of the Atlantic Defence Agreement and the Arctic Council, current president of the Western European Union.
