![]() Staff- Torchevon Lord Tothe GreekAmerican ![]() -"If we don't believe in free expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." -John Pilger ![]() Well, I think repairs are complete again on the weather machine. Due to the maintanence requirements of such a complex device, I will need to charge a fee of AWP$100 per day or AWP$500 per week for custom weather. I will leave everything up to Mother Nature unless I'm feeling diabolical or have been bribed paid for a change. Be aware that major changes (snowstorms to warm and sunny or vice versa) may take a day or two to shift the atmosphere enough. Now, this week's weather calibration test will begin. Thursday: Mostly sunny with a light 5mph breeze from the NW. High 78, low 72. Friday: Partly sunny with 8mph winds from the NW. High 76, low 73. Saturday: Cloudy with gusty winds from the N. High 77, low 71. Sunday: Rain. High winds from the North up to 20 mph. High 74, low 68. Monday: Mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers. winds from the NE. High 76, low 66. Tuesday: Partly sunny with a steady 12mph wind from the E, dropping to a light breeze by evening. High 74, low 70. Wednesday: Sunny, with a very light breeze from the E. High 80, low 76. ![]() Join the Regional Defense Force which has just celebrated its 100th mission! Join in a program whose very name strikes fear into evil invaders! The force started out small with just our beloved founder and a very active ex-member Rucket and has grown. Last night on its 100th mission there were ***** members on to save a region! Ask Numero Capitan our Minister of Defense or Neasmyrna to join! Speaking of Rucket, Neasmyrna has done two things to recognize his service before he mysteriously disappeared. Neasmyrna renamed "The Marketplace" (the spam center) to "Rucket Memorial Park." He also awarded Rucket the 00000 Cross of Valor for his service to the then young RDF. Recruit! The life line of the region is through the influx of members, who won't come on their own. They need to be recruited! Ask Neasmyrna for more information! The WA delegate race has its three nominees, Biain the First (from DCAPCOM) who is the incumbent, Lord Tothe (POP) and Ranholn (IPP). In the Senate race Greekamerican has declared to run for south as the incumbent (Ranholn) is running for delegate, Turlmanistan is rerunning for North along with AP3 10. ![]() World Assembly Headquarters A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order. Category: Political Stability Strength: Mild Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny Description: The ambassadors and observers to the NationStates World Assembly: Laboring to pay attention after lengthy drinking binges last night at a well-known local pub (which, for purposes of this resolution, and for liability reasons, cannot be named); Acknowledging the importance of international cooperation and understanding; Applauding the efforts of international diplomatic organizations such as the World Assembly for their promotion of international goodwill; Stressing the need for maintaining facilities for the furtherance of these activities; Believing that a WA Headquarters, as a symbol of international unity and harmony, would help legitimize the World Assembly as an instrument of international law, and member states as partners in its creation; Ignoring the findings of a recent census of WA diplomats, revealing a disturbing prevalence among international envoys of "drunks, stoners, weirdos, military fruitcakes, sex addicts, rejects, dear little kiddies, honest family types" and militant machistas; Declaring, nonetheless, that it would be nice for these inmates to have an asylum to run; Hereby: Establishes the World Assembly Office of Building Management (OBM), the duties of which shall entail: - locating suitable real estate for the establishment of international headquarters for the NationStates World Assembly - constructing and maintaining the facilities necessary to house these headquarters - furnishing the necessary security to protect the headquarters complex and all who use it - selling contracts to vendors, retailers and other service providers to offer products or services, or operate local chapters, offices or franchises, within WA-controlled territory - supplying access to available office space for WA agencies and all member and observer nations who request it, provided the requests are reasonable and appreciative of the OBM's limited time and resources - ignoring or delaying requests for office space for weeks on end; Declares that the headquarters for the World Assembly shall be located on international neutral territory, and that regular WA facilities shall not be subject to the jurisdiction of any nation; Stipulates that fair compensation must be granted to nations who willingly, per international agreement, cede part of their territory for this purpose; Determines that in addition to its regular duties the OBM, as a self-sustaining entity, shall determine fair and reasonable rental fees for all nations who maintain office space at WA Headquarters, and additional fees for nations who regularly use WA facilities; Grants the OBM exclusive authority to increase, decrease or waive these fees as circumstances warrant; Requires member states to respect the authority of the OBM over assigning offices at WA Headquarters, and invoicing nations for use of WA facilities.

Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.524 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion. There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal individuals devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries. Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Neasmyrna, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Neasmyrna's national animal is the hummingbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar. Neasmyrna is ranked 248th in the region and 75,342nd in the world for Best Weather. 18 minutes ago: The Eternal Twilight of Torchevon arrived from The East Pacific. 58 minutes ago: The Big Place of Albinostan departed this region for Lazarus. 2 hours ago: The Holy Republic of Telasera departed this region for Royal Land of Scatovia. 2 hours ago: The Holy Republic of Telasera arrived from Royal Land of Scatovia. 3 hours ago: The United Socialist States of Soviet Narin arrived from The Last Kingdom. 3 hours ago: The Evil Chuckle and Deady Gaze of Lord Bane of Steel arrived from Lazarus. 4 hours ago: The Evil Chuckle and Deady Gaze of Lord Bane of Steel departed this region for Lazarus. 4 hours ago: The Democratic Republic of Jessilandianda departed this region for United Democratic Nations. 4 hours ago: The United Socialist States of Soviet Narin departed this region for The Last Kingdom. 4 hours ago: The Democratic Republic of Jessilandianda arrived from The West Pacific. 00000 A World Power contains 263 nations as of 12:03 AM on 5/15/08 Forum Pop.

"You'll get your chance in court." said the Desk Sergeant. "No, no no!" said the man. "I want to know how he got into the house without waking my wife. I've been trying to do that for years!" Three men are going through CIA training, trying to become secret agents. They finally got through all their written and physical tests when they are pulled aside by one of the instructors who took them to a small room with another room adjacent to it. They brought the first guy's wife into the room and left her there. The instructor then loaded two rounds into a pistol, handed it to the first man saying, "Go kill your wife of five years." The trainee took the weapon, went into the next room. He came back out one minute later and said, "I can't do it." The instructor replied, "Then you fail out, so get out." The second candidate's wife was brought to the room. The instructor then loaded two rounds into a pistol, handed it to the second man and said, "Go kill your wife of ten years." The trainee took the weapon, went into the next room, but returned three minutes later and said, "I can't do it." The instructor replied, "Then you fail out - get out." Finally, the third candidate's wife was left in the adjacent room. The instructor loaded two rounds into a pistol, handed it to the third man and said, "Go kill your wife of fifteen years." The trainee took the weapon, went into the next room where there is silence for one minute. Suddenly, there was the sound of two gunshot, followed by a huge commotion in the room. The third man came out finally, sweating profusely, and said, "You gave me blanks, so I had to choke her." ![]() ![]()
