Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Thursday is going to present us with severe cloud cover and a light layer of flurries throughout the day. High of 42 and low of 37

Friday will be more of the same but by the end of the night temperatures will drop and ice will begin to form. High of 39 and low of 31.

Saturday expect a moderate snow storm with a lot of ice patches forming beneath the blankets of snow. High of 36 and low of 32.

Sunday is going to be like saturday but towards the end of the day the weather should break for a bit giving us a brief respite. High of 40 and low of 36.

Monday will have partly cloudy skies and we'll see some flurries come afternoon. High of 43 and low of 39.

Tuesday will see a large amount of cloud coverage but for most of the day only flurries will fall and then during the evening a heavier snow fall will begin. High of 43 and low of 36.

Wednesday will begin with a moderate snow storm in effect but around noon a very heavy blizzard will take hold of the region, it is advised that you make sure your safely at home and well stocked with provisions before Wednesday comes. High of 37 and low of 32.

The Inquirer is proud to welcome Kolinar and Numero Capitan on board as staff members for the paper. Were sure they're gonna do a cracker jack job.

On a sad note for the region our good friend Rucket had CTE'd and hasn't visited the forums for over a month now. None of us ever saw this coming and it hurts especially since he was so dedicated to the region and was usually the first person to volunteer to help with some kind of task, however, his legacy lives on in all the things that he did and accomplished for the region: supervising the paper, being a major recruiter, setting up and getting involved with the forum money, and the list goes on. He has left the region in good hands and though we mourn his loss we must continue to move forward and strive to make the region even greater, something he always did with great pride.

Though we lose Rucket one of the older members DeathorLife has returned to us after a leave of absence, be sure to welcome him back and to our newest members be sure to introduece yourselves.

The RDF is always looking for dedicated members to join our defence force. If you have any questions or would like to join contact Neas or any RDF member and they'll be happy to get you on your way.

The regions political parties are always looking for a few good nations to join and get involved with the regions politics.


The following appointments where recently approved by the senate:
-Minister for Education: Torchevon
-Regional Representative to the FRA: Numero Capitan

We now have filled our quota of 2 for FRA Regional Assembly Representatives, the other being Neasmyrna. Numero Capitan takes the seat that Falconias left vacant when he resigned as Minister for Defense

There are currently no proposals before the UN. As a service announcement from the Minister of Education he urges all nations not already in the UN to join up and for those nations that are already UN members please be sure to endorse our UN delegate Kelh.

Airline Funnies!

Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more entertaining.

Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:

1. From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."

2. Pilot-"Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land...it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."

3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.

4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

6. From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.

7. Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."

8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."

9. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

10. "Last one off the plane must clean it."

11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry... Unfortunately none of them are on this flight...!

12. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

13. Another flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I as you a question?" "Why no, Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"

15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.

16. Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."
