Verdonnia,

While we generally dont say nations have just come out into the world, I do like your nation concept. Cant wait to read factbooks

Thank you! I absolutely get not having nations just appear, so to speak, so I'll briefly expand on the idea to ensure I'm not rubbing against IC roleplaying and existing history.

I'd say the people of Verdonnia, relatively few as they are, have freely been involved in world affairs for many years, at least since the turn of the 20th century. However, without a central government—a nation state if you will—it didn't have a normalized, consistent, unified posture in the world, and are only now formulating their approach.

I hope that helps, makes a bit more sense. Like I said, I want Verdonnia to move into RP smoothly, but have to acknowledge that it wasn't "around" previously. I think it will make domestic politics fun, too!

Thanks, too for the factbook guide (cc: Ponderosa). Very excited to build that all out.

[Thuzbekistan]

That does, actually. I hope you write a history describing this process of centralization. I've always enjoyed reading those

Hey guys. I'm currently looking for trading partners in order to expand my economic influence. If you're interested PM me.

Let's talk about the Cooperative Union
Gday all, it’s resident bogan Ainslie here with another initiative that i’ll end up spending way too much time on. As many of you may know, Covonant handed the management of the Cooperative Union over to me OOC shortly before he left. Well, I’ve been thinking a bit (and writing a bit) and got some early stuff up and going for the Cooperative Union to move onwards and upwards. I’ve categorised this post into three parts.

What needs to be done
Agencies - I need to work out what agencies exactly are active/operational right now, where they are and if they need to be moved because a nation went inactive and if there’s any agencies pre-existing that need to be formed. One of the major things I’ll be trying to get done is an Economic Advisory Council agency which will advise prospective and current member-states. It won’t have a thread, but will work in the background to sure-up the storyline we got going here.

Address declining rates of membership - Through a bunch of reforms I’m not entirely sure of yet but will likely include me trying to get new amendments to the Treaty of Coventry going, a new admissions process and an increase presence of the union in the TWI’s postings.

Crediting Covonant - He’s done an amazing job with the Cooperative Union and there is no way I’m going to try and pass off that effort as my own. As a result of this, I’m trying to push into my canon references to Covonant such as the “Marl Covonant Centre for International Studies” which will be a major information provider for the new CU factbooks and the “Treaty of Coventry” will likely be named after the architect/major writer of the treaty [first name] Coventry. I also intend to credit as per the standard tag system as well.

What is changing
A whole lot of new positions are opening up for characters - these come with varying degrees of involvement. CU member-states are being offered the option to change the names of their CUCJ judges (TG me over the next two weeks or so for that) and there’ll be upcoming elections for Secretary-General and chiefs of various agencies

High Commissions - In a similar manner to the Commonwealth of Nations, CU member-states will be offered the opportunity to build “high commissions” (kinda like embassies) near the headquarters of the Cooperative Union in the International City near Lereneau, Ainslie. These will allow for better communication between nation-states and the CU and will further reinforce the integral role of the member in the activities of the Cooperative Union. These high commissions will be only open to full members of the Cooperative Union (please telegram me with the name of your high commissioner, the chief of the high commission, if you’d like to have one of these buildings in Lereneau). These will primarily operate in the background, although mentioning it in passing is highly encouraged in news posts etc

What could be changes in the future

• Many of the ideas under this list I’ll be trying to get through IC as opposed to OOC, with an aim to get majority votes that way and place it into canon
• The creation of a CU Trade Authority to try and mitigate the drawbacks of free trade
• CUCJ Cases regarding questions surrounding CU law are heard by three judges whereas all other circumstances are heard by five.
• Partial memberships or observer statuses for interested nations.

So that’s about it for now, links to the new threads will be coming as I don’t have access to Covonant’s threads and I haven’t really seen him around that often. New factbooks for the CU are coming onto my account now and once the majority of them are done I’ll post the links on the RMB (keep up to date using dispatch activity if you want to see them earlier) If you’ve got any questions, feel free to throw them at me. Lemme know your thoughts as well on this. That's all I've got in my head in writing now about this...

Cheers,
Ainslie.

Razzgriz would be interested in joining this Union as well.

Also to any nations featured on the Island of Gael or the Eterna, Southern or Kavju Seas who would be interested in creating a detailed joint-history with me (and has not received a tg from me requesting so already) please feel free to pm me. I want as many player nations from the stated regions as possible to interact with.

I'd be interested

[Suttenland]

Hey guys,

I'm new on this website and I'm looking to get involved with some interesting international policy RP.

I heard about western Isles from the recruitment telegram and liked the math joke ( I have a major in mathematics) as well as the in house RP focus.

Some of my hobbies include playing Morrowind for the upteenth time, lifting weights and drinking wine with my SO.

The kind of nation I would like to make is a Faceless Authoritarian Meritocracy where religion plays an ever day role in life but reason is used for policy making. As well as an ethno-centric people who are deeply concerned about the rights and freedoms of man but have a very different view of those things then traditional western thought.

Like I said I'm new, so feel free to reach out.

[Thuzbekistan]

Hey, it's nice to see you here. I'm sure you'll make a fine addition to the region

[Empira Tallovia]

How did you hear about The Western Isles? I just googled Nationstates Region with good RP. It wasn't the first hit, but it led me to a forum post here where people were making suggestions.

What's some information about yourself (hobbies, interests, country, etc.)? I work as a salesperson by day and I write short fiction by night. I love literature and gaming.

What kind of nation are you trying to make? My nation will be Bureaucratic Monarchy - Where the ruling family has united with wealthy companies to rule the nation, but companies often vie for power and attempt to unseat each other from various positions.

Anyway I'm excited to see what nationstates has to offer. I played once quite some time ago in the early 2000's while in school and thought I'd check back to see if the game still exited. It seems that in fact it does.
