Announcing: the ABBA Accords

_{A Treaty between Balder and The Region That Has No Big Banks}

On this day, September 18th 2026, and on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I’m glad to have been able to participate in coordination alongside our very own Prime Minister The Democratic Disney States 'DDS' . I can finally say that talks between us and our friends in Balder went very well (;. We greatly appreciate Mark and Milly and by that Balder’s government as we worked together toward a shared vision in defining friendship. With that, I am happy to announce the ratification of our new treaty with Balder: The ABBA Accords!! Over the time since the establishment of consulates between our regions, relations and interest in one another have only increased, showcasing how quickly friendship and cooperation can grow.

Once again, NBB is taking the next and necessary steps, in securing long lasting bonds with other regions that share our interests and vision. Rest assured, this is not a dull moment, nor is it the only time of importance between us. With this treaty, cooperation and many initiatives will take place, and it is safe to say that great things will happen moving forward!

Let us all raise a mug or glass, shall we? (;

“Unprecedented”

My fellow NBBers and Visitors Abroad,

A new era begins in NBB as we are led into a new era of peace and prosperity. However in recent events regarding the DPM race this is now starting to go into an unprecedented time in our history.

I want to thank everyone who voted for me and giving me another term as Prime Minister. For the people who did not vote for me I truly hope to earn your trust this entire term. I want to congratulate Sera Valle on a successful campaign and good race! I also want to congratulate Revoia on winning their election as Speaker and ​Southsea on a well fought race and good campaign.

However, though massive congratulations to Claibornia and Truzipa who tied for the first time in our history tied in any race and the winner of the DPM race is being decided by our Parliament as we speak! However this does mean the Cabinet will not be announced until after the DPM has been decided since the DPM must approve of all appointments which means we will be dormant for a little bit.

We accomplished so much last term such as gaining new relationships with other regions like The Frontier Sea, The Land of Kings and Emperors, and Saint Osmund along with a treaty with Balder! We accomplished numerous government approval polls and censuses. We increased our regional population and still continue to massively recruit. We established a new Ministry for Art. We got WA Voting started for the citizens of our region and started writing recommendations and NBB WA proposals coming on the way. Roleplay has had a resurgence and is starting to become a key cornerstone of our region. We did a lot of joint events with other regions along with just lots of events in general. We accomplished so much so far and I am looking forward to going above and behind and looking to accomplish way more than last term. I know we can do it.

Once again thank you for reelecting me and expect the Cabinet to come out in 5 days. If you need anything regarding Domestic (Domestic Affairs, Community Affairs, Roleplay, Arts) or Foreign Affairs (Foreign Affairs, World Assembly Affairs, Events) please contact Me and Me only at this time. This is going to be an amazing term!

“United We Stand, Stronger Together.”
The Democratic Disney States

The "Userite Olympiad" Chess Tournament

---

Heya friends!

To start off a brand new term for TRTHNBB, we've collaborated with Forest, Starlight, The Leftist Assembly, and 10000 Islands to organize a chess tournament, which we have called the Userite Olympiad since all of us are user-created regions (UCR)!

This tournament will be using a Swiss-system format (if you don't know what that is, look it up) which involves regional teams of four. During the tournament, you will be matched up against opponents of the same rank in another region (for example, the player with the best ELO in Forest faces the one with the best ELO in TLA). Once every player has faced their counterpart, the team with the most score wins!

If you happen to be from none of the regions above but are still interested in involving your region in this tournament, consider reaching out to me (The Washington Federation)! From there, once all regions are unanimously in favor, your region can become part of the tournament as a distinct regional team! We will be enforcing our sanctions, so don't get any ideas if we've sanctioned your region.

The Hunters Becomes the Hunted

Well Well Well How The Turn Tables Have Turned…

Today I am proud to announce to my fellow NBBers and to the world that the BLF and its allies have raided and captured HYDRA Command, the region that raided our predecessor region The Place That Has No Big Banks over 10 years ago. Today we get our vengeance as instead of being hunted we hunt!

The BLF had 12 liberators attending this operation, they include:

Commissar General Western Arba Fir
Bankless General Faralried (moral support)
Liberation Officer Cat Army
Bankless Specialist Socialistic Britain
Bankless Specialist The Democratic Disney States
Bankless Specialist The Washington Federation
Bankless Operator Claibornia
Liberation Specialist Xechana
Liberator America the Greater (Regional Officer)
Liberator Toastarian
Volunteer Revoia
Volunteer The Greater Transylvania

Fellow allies:

Galactic Armada of Starlight
The Order of Grey Wardens
The West Pacific Armed Forces
Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization
The Outback Bushrangers

On behalf of NBB as a whole, I would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who attended this operation, especially TGW who hosted it. This operation meant a lot to us as it reminds us why we are a defender region. We defend because we don’t want innocent communities to lose their region like we did over 10 years ago and we will continue to fight to make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone again.
