You're referring to a single conversation that occurred three Pharaohs and almost three years ago, when NK was not yet even Pharaoh.

Your comments about Osiris vis a vis NPO are hypocritical. Whatever negative claims you try to make about subversion are also claims against Osiris, because they routinely promoted Adytus knowing he was a fan of the art.

This is why the coalition against the NPO has had a rough time. It’s generally a bunch of people who have a history of supporting bad shit trying to condemn others for doing bad shit.

I like how quick you are to bash on Osiris because they'd supposedly support subverting others while you're particularly shutting up about the NPO who actually subverted others. But, priorities, I guess.

Again, you're referring to a conversation -- not any actual actions -- that took place almost three years ago and three Pharaohs ago. It's beyond irrelevant, and not at all comparable to the numerous, serious concrete actions the NPO took against the sovereignty of several regions.

If this is the best you can do to attack Osiris and defend the NPO, perhaps you should stop doing that because you're not doing it well. Is this what TSP re-elected you to do? Spend your time attacking Osiris and engaging in whataboutism to assist the propaganda efforts of NationStates' oldest dictatorship?

It's worth noting once again that "Adytus" was Feux, whom the NPO reinstated to the Senate. So umm, maybe criticize that for a change?

He was pointing out the glaring hypocrisy, not attempting to cover for the NPO's previous actions.

So your argument, is that, because we aren't condemning Osiris for doing bad shit, then we can't condemn the NPO for doing bad shit? Wouldn't you rather that some bad shit be condemned rather than no bad shit?

Frankly I don't care as the "bad shit" is generally what makes this game interesting. What bothers me is the holier-than-thou attitude of others.

This morning, our regional leadership was contacted by a Vizier of The East Pacific to provide aid during their delegate transition to Marrabuk, the recently elected Delegate. Per our treaty obligations, we gave the order to our Navy to proceed to the region to aid in their transition. As our sailors were proceeding in their orders, several members of the ERN were ejected and banned from the region by Regional Officer Funkadelia, who had been given Border Control privileges by outgoing delegate, Fedele. This happened after Grand Admiral HEM clearly identified the forces and mission to outgoing delegate Fedele.

This hostile action against a treatied ally aiding in a lawful delegate transition is unwarranted and unacceptable. We demand an immediate response to these actions or we will be forced to assume Fedele is at the helm of an illegal regime no longer bound by East Pacific law or treaties.

Yours,
Comrade Prim
Chief of State of Europeia

[King HEM]

If not before, it is now clear beyond a shadow of a doubt with the ejection of the lawful Delegate-elect that the rightful government of The East Pacific has been overthrown, and replaced by an illegal, unethical regime willing to violate international law and attack their allies.

Europeia stands against this illegal, absurd, regime.

[Numero Capitan]

The right actions taken at the right time

Individuals associating themselves with the unlawful regime should strongly consider the implications of continuing to align themselves with the likes of Fedele, Funk and others responsible for these actions. The time to choose is now

It fills me with pride that my region is supporting the rightful, democratic choice of TEP. To see their community fight back live has been very inspiring.

Thank you, Prim.

Want to know what's been going on in Europeia lately? Here's your blurb for December 3.

On November 18, polls opened in what would prove to be among Europeia's most exciting elections. Four tickets stood for first minister and second minister, positions created by the executive split earlier this year, leaders of the domestic executive. In the first round of voting, former President Calvin Coolidge (Calvin) and former Grand Admiral Rachael led the pack with 17 votes, followed closely by Minister of Culture Dax and Minister of Communications Istillian with 13. The tickets led by Olde Delaware and cuddles received 6 and 5 votes respectively. In the runoff, Dax maintained a slight lead until the final moments of the election, when 3 votes for Calvin made it a tie. The election then went to the Senate, and, after a few nail-biting days, the Senate voted 5-4, electing Calvin the next first minister.

Calvin had this to say: "The opportunity to lead a region like Europeia is always an immense honor, and having earned the trust of the Europeian public in one of our closest elections ever, just goes to show how much we care about our institutions and our path forward. I hope I can take this trust and turn it into a vibrant and productive term."

If you're curious about recent events in Europeia, here's your December 9 blurb to keep you up to date.

As a result of Calvin Coolidge's success in last month's first minister election, his Senate seat was vacated, prompting the calling of a by-election to fill the seat for the remaining three weeks of the term. The standing period was declared on November 23, with two candidates - Xecrio and Bowzin - announcing their candidacy and posting their platforms the following day; Izzy joined the race three days later. The election took place amid region-wide debate about the value of "private ballots" - i.e. the concealment of voting tallies until the vote is over - to prevent deliberate causing of torturously long voting periods such as that in the last first minister election, which, after a tied run-off, was taken to the Senate. Opponents to the strategy argue that it saps elections of their customary Europeian excitement, and that tactical voting can indeed be a valid voting method, while those in favour believe it to provide a different but equal kind of excitement as well as reducing stress for candidates.

In an attempt to inform the debate, the Chancellery decided to try out a private ballot for this election: Europeians taking to the polls on November 29 were unable to view vote tallies for the three candidates. Responses were generally fairly divided, with many commenting on a lack of excitement - of which there arguably wouldn't have been much anyway, given its nature as a by-election - but when they were at last provided, the results certainly heightened interest in the race: Bowzin earned 44.1% of the vote, Izzy 23.5%, and Xecrio 26.5% (with the rest going to Re-Open Elections), bringing Bowzin and Xecrio to a run-off. This took place immediately after the conclusion of the first vote.

HEM's article for the Europeian News Network, cashing in on the opportunities provided by the ambiguity of a private ballot, provided a results projection based on an exit poll on the by-election which was proved to be almost exactly accurate: the final victor was Bowzin, with twenty two votes to Xecrio's fifteen. Taking his place in an already large and active Senate, a good performance here from first-time Senator Bowzin would stand him in excellent stead should he run in the upcoming general election, as he has indicated he will. A commendable performance from all candidates, however, certainly made this by-election exciting to follow, whether or not the private ballot emerged from it more popular an idea than before.

_{Re: The North Pacific // Confederation of Corrupt Dictators
from the desk of the Chief
19 January 2020}

It has come to light that the Confederation of Corrupt Dictators, under the leadership of their founder and Viceroy Jocospor, has attempted to overthrow our allied government in The North Pacific in a clumsy, multi-agent espionage mission.

There can be no doubt that The North Pacific’s role as a leader against fascist, nazi, and collaborator regions contributed to them being targeted by Jocospor’s regime. His desire to turn The North Pacific into a puppet state of his far-right Confederacy was apparently motivated, in part, by their presence on The North Pacific’s auto-telegram program that warns nations against joining fascist regions.

While the Confederation’s infiltration attempts were sloppy — some might go as far as to say “buffoonish” — The Republic of Europeia takes any offensive action against our treated allies extremely seriously. Even cartoonish coups and attempts at subversion occasionally succeed, which is why we condemn these acts in the strongest of terms.

Viceroy Jocospor has responded to these events by complaining about the “hysteria” and the fact he can’t extend his apparent LOA as planned (??) and instead must deal with this mess of his own creation. His desire to host some sort of conference to discuss the irrefutable evidence of his espionage is a bemusing response, and The Republic has no intention of engaging with any discussions with The Confederacy.

Ordinarily, The Republic would tag Jocospor and his collaborators in this mission as persona non grata. However, as Europeia already holds fascist regions and fascist collaborators under blacklist status such a declaration would be redundant. However, as Jocospor is a periodic author of World Assembly resolutions, Europeia does signal our intent to oppose any proposal penned by Jocospor indefinitely.

The Republic has communicated our support to the Delegate of The North Pacific and expressed our willingness to give any aid or comfort that is necessary. We look forward to the best revenge of this nonsense being The North Pacific’s continued success.

Signed,

HEM
Chief of State

[McMasterdonia]

Thank you for the statement, HEM and Europeia. We appreciate Europeia’s continued support and friendship.

The Europeian Wire: Edition One

Recruiting Contest Underway: Will HEM finally succeed at something?
By Sopo

Minister of Interior Rand announced a new 1v1 recruiting contest on January 5 to kick off the new year. With 12 initial participants including First Minister Calvin Coolidge and Chief of State HEM, one question remains: will HEM finally succeed at something? The Europeian founder and general meme-ified punching bag is thus far facing tough competition from his first week’s foe, Rachael. All eyes are on HEM to see if he can finally manage not to screw things up the way he screwed up our miraculously enduring 13-year old region.

The City-State of Arnhelm
By Prim

Over the past few months, Europeia has been working on its newest addition to the legislative arena, the City-State of Arnhelm. This new independent legislative body is a mix of legislative training ground and Real-Life political simulation. Every citizen of Europeia who joins the City Council can discuss real-life legislation, vote on bills and ordinances, propose a budget, elect the mayor, or even become the city manager through crafty legislative maneuvering. Arnhelm is open for creative role-players and serious policy wonks alike!

Invading Iran: Living the Trumpian Dream
By Sopo

Supporting our allies in The North Pacific, Europeia is proud to be engaged in a hold of Iran, commended region and generally non-controversial vacation spot. While real-world drama surrounds the region’s namesake, Europeian sailors are enjoying their stay. This marks the second hold operation for Europeia since Chief of State HEM and Grand Admiral Bowzin took office, with Iran following a successful week-long Europeia-led hold of North Ustaynga.

A Yule Ball Yule Be Sad Yule Missed
By Xecrio/Nate

Europeians brought out the festivity in the weeks surrounding Christmas with the launch of the Yule Ball. A successor event to perhaps Europeia’s most successful festival of all time in 2014, Christmas again merged with Harry Potter, a favorite Europeian theme. Citizens spent time in their Hogwarts houses while playing a variety of festive games to truly get them in the Christmas mood. Hogwarts House Spam Points dominated the spam games, with Ravenclaw wiping the floor with the competition. After perhaps a bit too much holiday cheer, some people simply refused to leave the server…
