Equilism Update March 23, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 136 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Embassies from Canada, The Proletariat Coalition, Europa and Wysteria have been closed. Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Osgiliath Ruins. The College of Equilism The following points are on the College’s agenda: - A vote on the “Multiple Citizenship Act” - Canada6’s application for dual citizenship - A discussion about The Pacific - “College Laws and Procedure” has been forwarded to the Judiciary for a Judicial Review. - A discussion about Equilism’s future in the AND. - A Military Liaison Pact with the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA). - The Treaty with the Pacific has been voted on. The outcome was 5 for, 9 against. A 2/3rd majority was required for it to pass. - The College voted unanimously against the preservation of the Ordo Herectus in Equilism (14 for), which means that the Ordo’s branch in Equilism is closed. Westwind has granted his approval:
Public Courtyard Notherfork the Scribe has returned from a long pilgrimage through the Pacific, carrying with him the message of ADMIN. He preached to an audience of Equilismers quite passionately about what he learned and his interpretation of the Pacific Orthodoxy doctrine. This was met with some disagreement as the Black Cardinal of the Ordo Hereticus, Agamemnon Mustang, challenged some of the Scribe's interpretations. Read more: here. Other topics that are being discussed are Equilism and the Ordo Herecticus and Canada6’s Dual Citizenship. Bar & Games Most Hated Song, College Essays, age, greetings, Felasia’s 1000th post, greetings, instruments played and poems by the Scribe Notherfork are Hot @ The Bar. We also wish Gateborg a happy birthday! In the Games & Fun forum, Equilismers are spamming, just as usual. Meanwhile, the “1000 posts in 2 months”-challenge has a successor: post 30 thirty things a day! Role Playing & Main Street The usual battles are still raging in “who will post last?” and in “attack the previous poster”. Two new RP’s have started: - In “Subterfuge”, a Tycholandian commercial airliner was shot-down by a Seriphitican military aircraft. - In an “Unidentified Object”, an unidentified object (yes, what else were you thinking? :P) crashed into international waters between Tycholand and Niels. Who will reach it first and discover what it is? In Main Street, Scandinavian Duchies’ “The Shady Side” has been closed. Open Debate Board Equilismers are having fun taking a political compass quiz; proving that there is no consistency in Equilismers' political views. Some come out to be hard left liberals, while others are quite the opposite. Conservatives, communists, libertarians, socialists, centrists, we've got them all here in Equilism. For more: click here. The Libertarianism debate is still popular, started all the way back on November 10th and still an active source of arguing and entertainment. Recently some dispute over the meaning of "freedom" and "equality" has arose there. For more: click here. |

Equilism Update March 30, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 128 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs On request of Nasicournia’s Delegate, their Embassy in Equilism has been closed. Equilism’s Embassy in Nasicournia has also been closed. Nasicournia and Equilism have been through a lot together, and the Chancellory of Foreign Affairs wishes this didn’t have to happen. Good luck Nasicournia! For news on Equilism’s declaration regarding The Pacific/NPO, see the section “The College of Equilism” further in the update. Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Michigan and 0ceania. The College of Equilism The following agenda-points are on the College’s table: - A vote on a Military Liaison Pact between Equilism and the Founderless Regions Alliance. - The vote on the Dual Citizenship Act has been cancelled when it appeared that something in the proposed law needed fixing. After the College voted against a Mutual Defence Pact with the Pacific, the following Declaration has been drafted and released:
Read more here The Lord Chancellor has issued a Legislative Order, granting Canada6 dual-citizenship.
The Legislative Order has been approved by the Monarch (Westwind) and the Lord High Advocate (Equilism’s title for the Chief Justice, Chaucerin) and Canada6 has taken the oath. Canada6’s Dual Citizenship application Link to Legislative Order UN-resolution voting Due to the Delegate having internet problems, there have been no votes for the UN-resolutions. Bar & Games Daylight Savings Time, Westwind’s looking for a job, Harry Potter number 7, what you’re listening to, greetings, postcounts and a contracting job from the Chancellery of Defence are hot topics in our Bar. The Gay Cafay has returned to activity. In the Games & Fun department, the usual games are still popular. Spamming is also popular, but that’s very old news.;) Restored Othalla’s The New Challenge has not started yet. The challenge is to post 30 things a day. For some people on the Equilism-forum, that should be easy! Role Playing & Main Street Attacks and discussion continue in “Attack the Previous Poster” and “Who will post last?” In RP’s, Tycholand commando’s have entered an OmniCorp (a company in Seriphyn) Paramilitary Base in an effort to find evidence about OmniCorp’s involvement in the shooting-down of a Tycholand commercial airliner. This can be followed in Subterfuge In An Unidentified Object, Tycholand and Niels are trying to see what lies at the bottom of the sea in the international waters between their countries. In Main Street, Tycholand has been spotted and the manhunt continues to put him back in the Privatised Prison Service. Fast-food and take-away restaurant BackDomalds has been opened by The Empire of Byzantica. A conflict in the queue has already lead to the drawing of several guns, but the situation was resolved peacefully. ![]() Open Debate Board Another week goes by, and even more Equilismers take the Political Compass quiz. However, on the same thread there has begun a small conversation about the free market. Read more here. It appears competitors are gearing up in the God doesn't work thread for another round of heated debate some time in April. Stay tuned for developments! Read more here. Some interesting discussions about homosexuality have been going on in the ODB. Real life stories and discussions of morality and social norms float around. Read more here. Recruitment Competition Sign-ups for the new Recruitment Competition are open. The aim of the competition? Recruiting! Tse Points are available for people who meet certain conditions. Tse Points may be subtracted if a participant doesn’t recruit enough nations! See announcement. Quote of the Week

Equilism Update April 10, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 223 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Chancellor Tycholand took the week off, leaving his Deputy, Notherfork, in charge. But due to unforeseeable circumstances Notherfork was unable to preform his duties. This has lead to the delay in the release of the weekly update, and the Chancellery apologizes. Discussion within the halls of the Chancellery have been going on concerning the Small & Intermediate Regions and Equilism Network (SIREN) proposal. This would improve and strengthen relations between the Realm and newly created and small regions. Read more here Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Willoughby, Asia, Zealand, and Ginger Paradise. The College of Equilism The College has quieted down over the last week, but new issues are appearing on the horizon. The College unanimously approved a Military Liaison Pact with the Founderless Regions Alliance, and was signed by the Monarch Westwind on April 3rd, 2007. An Equilism liaison has not yet been appointed. A notice of intended withdrawal from the ADN has been approved by the College and the Monarch. The withdrawal will only take place if Equilism does not see satisfactory reforms to the ADN begin. Meanwhile, collegians have been discussing other issues concerning the ADN. UN-Resolution Voting Lord Chancellor Restored Othalla has temporarily taken UN duties, thus he brought the latest resolution (the repeal of "Sexual Freedom") before the UN voters. The proposal currently stands at 3-0 in favor of it. Bar & Games Equilismers were heard drunkenly celebrating Astarial's birthday this last week. She's now 18, and thus not jailbait! The Gay Cafe has been somewhat popular of late, along with discussions on random thoughts, hated songs, daily greetings, the ages of Equilismers, and other such ramblings. For more of the madness drop by the Bar forum! Fun and games, spamming and more spamming, it's all entertaining until someone loses an eye. This week we've seen the return of the Ask the Guru thread, with Restored Othalla acting Guru. And of course the use spam games and quizzes continue to see vast popularity. Role Playing & Main Street What is Ambassador Island's function? That is the question. Curious minds want to know. Other popular RPs are still active, including the last one wins, Be Nice to the Previous Poster, and Attack the Previous Poster. Main Street is seeing some life in the Privatised Prison Service and Cthulhu's Hospital. But buyer beware, Main Street is a good place to lose a fortune. Open Debate Board This week has been a busy one on the ODB. The U.S. Missile Defense System, Abortion, Homosexuality, and religion are the hot topics, sparking much debate and controversy. But on a lighter note, Equilismers are still having clean fun with the Political Compass. |

Equilism Update April 20, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 215 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Discussion concerning the Small & Intermediate Regions and Equilism Network (SIREN) proposal has left the Foreign Affairs Chancellery and been moved to the College for consideration. However, some discussion continues within the Chancellery. Read more: http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5092 Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Paradise, DoomsVille, and Lazarus. The College of Equilism On April 1st the College approved the intention of withdrawal from the ADN, which was later signed by the Monarch on April 3rd. Now, after the two week waiting period has been elapsed, Equilism has now officially left the ADN. The SIREN proposal has been directed to the College for consideration, and a general consensus has been reached that a collegiate committee should be assembled to study SIREN, MLP, and similar means of foreign and military relations with other regions. Currently the proposed committee has been forwarded to the Lord Chancellor, and the College awaits his approval. The Judicial review of the College Laws and Procedures is under discussion. The main concern shown by the Judiciary has been that the document does not include public votes, but instead restricts all votes to the College. Currently no amendments to the document have been put forward for legislation. The new Multiple Citizenship Act has been voted on and approved by the College. The document was signed by the Monarch on April 20th. The new law was drafted and approved to replace an earlier, out-of-date document governing citizenship between Equilism and other regions. UN-Resolution Voting Equilism voted in favor of the "Cultural Heritage in War" resolution, the votes standing at 5-0-0. Bar & Games As usual Equilismers can be heard chatting it up in the bar. The region's favorite conversation piece has seemed to remain random thoughts. This once and for all proves Equilismers have no thought process...

Equilism Update April 28, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 209 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs A list of possible regions to open diplomatic relations with has been forwarded to the Chancellory by Lord High Prosecutor, Moo-cows with guns. Currently the Chancellor and Deputy are investigating further into these regions, weighing in on if an embassy exchange would be beneficial. The list had nine regions in all. Currently the Region of Gay is being considered for an embassy exchange. The proposal has been met with no opposition. Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Gaelionica and Brigelle, and were victorious in both battles. Keep up the good work, E-Army! The College of Equilism Currently a Collegiate Committee to explore possible programs for better relations with small regions has begun taking volunteers. However, only two have stepped forward: Deputy Chancellor of Foreign Affairs Notherfork and Collegian Flexion, who originally proposed the SIREN project that got this all in motion. The Monarch, Westwind, has offered his assistance to the committee as an adviser. The Small & Intermediate Regions and Equilism Network (SIREN) and the Military Liaison Program (MLP) are the chief subjects on the collegiate exploratory committee's agenda. They'll also be generating new ideas, as well as possibly proposing legislation. Deputy Chancellor of Foreign Affairs and Collegian, Notherfork, has drafted a amended version of the "Laws & Procedures of the College of Equilism: Duties, Rights & Votes" after a Judicial review found the document did not allow for public votes. His original draft had some errors and had to be modified, and now it stands before the College for further review. A proposed War Powers Act has been shared with the College. It was brought up during the discussion on the Laws & Procedures of the College of Equilism by the Monarch after Tse Moana (Chancellor of Intelligence, Advocate General, and Heir to the Throne of Equilism) put forward concerns over the War clause in the procedures. An amended version of the "Laws & Procedures of the College of Equilism: Committees" has been drafted. This was done after some concerns were expressed that the document was too narrow in its scope, originally only having committees as tools of internal investigations into wrong doing. The new version would give committees further range, including the exploration of possible legislation and actions, as well as to analyze particular subjects, topics, etc for Collegiate review. The idea for a possible law creating regional holidays has been brought up before the College. Currently it is under discussion, but all seem in favor of such a bill. Currently only three holidays have been suggested: Reunification Day (January 4th), Founding Day (January 13th), and Schism Day (October 20th). Activities have also been suggested for each of these days, such as a single Founding and Rebirth Festival, running from January 3rd through January 13th, and a solemn discussion and reflection on the past every October 20th. This proposed holidays bill was accompanied by a suggestion for possible honorary titles of nobility to former members. Westwind, the Monarch, said that it would be acceptable if the College petitioned him to give out such titles to former and current members who've achieved much and served the region well. No petitions have been brought forward yet. Events The '07 Edition of the Equilism World Cup is finally here!

A request for an Embassy Exchange, made by Liberty Alliance, is being considered by the FA Chancellory. Also, one of the regions which was on the list provided by Moo-Cows with Guns (see last week’s update) is now also under review. Military Affairs The men, women and spammers of the E-Army have been spotted in Lazarus. They’ve also been spotted in San Marino; however, the Chancellory of the Military could not confirm if the soldiers were defending or watching Formula-1. The College of Equilism - A Committee has been formed (which evolved from the College’s discussion to cooperate in Defender-work with smaller regions, the SIREN-project) to evaluate the Military Liaison Program (MLP), create new and/or adapted/combined ideas for military cooperation with other ideas and possible creation or amending of legislation concerning these areas. The Committee has officially been installed by Lord Chancellor Restored Othalla and will start after the elections. - Notherfork has made a “Standard Bill Template”. The aim is to ensure that each piece of legislation has a standard lay-out. - The debates about amending the Committee section of the College’s “Law and Procedures” is being wrapped-up and a vote is expected to be held soon. - Collegiates are motioning for a vote about the adapted College Laws & Procedures (this is separate from the point mentioned above). - Collegiates are discussing about regional Holidays Titles. Elections The first term for the first government (excluding the Provisional government) of the Realm of Equilism is almost over. On April 30th, Governor General Neo-Conservatism, announced the following:
Bar & Games If you think Equilismers don’t spam, think again: The Merlion publicly announced his 3000-postcount milestone. Just a week before, Govvistan reached 1000 posts. Yes dear readers, spamming in Equilism can be a real battlefield – a fun battlefield though. For the rest, discussions about greetings, what you’re listening to, activity in the region “The Realm of Equilism” and Naivetry’s birthday are taking place. In the Games and Fun forum, the “Änswer the question with a question” game is proving popular. Meanwhile, Caption Contest number 30 has started, this time with Govvistan providing the following picture: ![]() Role Playing & Main Street The usual games, such as “Attack the Previous Poster”, “Be nice to the previous poster” and “who will post last?” are still proving popular. Meanwhile, Govvistan, who has appointed himself “Grand Elf of Equilism”, is being threatened. Several members are determined to “smoke him out” after Govv failed to post a picture of himself with pointy ears. If there are any Swedes around, Govvistan needs your Go to the thread! Open Debate Board The big bang theory, Abortion, Saddam Hussein’s execution, the US Missile Defence System in Central Europe and Libertarianism are some of the surprising and less-surprising topics being discussed and debated on in the Open Debate Board.

hay again all. i am back at last. hears an update u]Equilism Update[/u] May 26, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Notherfork Population: 177 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted in Disney’s theme park in the region of Florida (yes, they’ve been dressing-up as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse…) and Gilmerica. The College of Equilism No news has been heard yet of a new Cabinet. The Chancellors from Restored Othalla’s Cabinet are still in in office until the appointment of new Chancellors. Topic of the College include: - A proposal for regional holidays and titles - Proposal for a new War Powers Act - The SIREN-project - The Committee-section of the Laws & Procedures of the College has been amended with all votes in favour. - Another amendment of the Law & Procedures of the College has been voted on, with the majority voting in favour. Events Sign-up for the Equilism World Cup closes in a few days! Hurry if you still want to join: Click here! Bar & Games A funny video, age, Cybernations and what you’re listening to are hot in The Bar. Tse Moana and Nagabeth will be hearing the results of the story-writing competition they entered tomorrow, Sunday the 26th. We all wish them luck! Hopefully they will post the stories on the Equilism forum. If they do, we’ll be sure to include a link in next week’s update! On the Games front, our usual/classical games are still very popular. Yes, we do love spamming! Role Playing & Main Street The usual games in the RP-forum are still popular. On the RP-front, things are still looking pretty active. - On the War! Front – caused by Govvistan’s Grand Elf’s refusal to post a picture of himself with pointy ears - it looks like the first major battle is not far away. Tarricoe’s fleet attacked one of Tycholand’s ports, but Tycholandian ships attack from behind and Tarricoe escaped. Ships from Westleism arrived and it looks like he and Tarricoe will attack Tycholand. Meanwhile, Tycholand is threatening the life of Tarricoe’s second-in-command, Ixtapa, who was captured in the first attack. President Cowley of Flexion has called for a peace summit and many nations will attend. - On the Subterfuge-front – the RP where a Tycholandian airliner was shot down – things are also heating-up. Seriphitican forces are in pursuit of the commando’s who entered a paramilitary base where they managed to recover a hard-drive which possibly contains evidence related to the shooting-down of the aircraft.

Equilism Update June 8, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Notherfork Population: 159 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs The New Inquisition’s request for an Embassy exchange is being considered by the FA Chancellory, while relations with Genosha have been closed. New relations have been opened with the region of Uroca. Military Affairs Think E-Army soldiers and the kitchen don’t go together? Think again! E-Army soldiers (yes, including some male soldiers) have been spotted in NationStates Cook Book. No-one has been caught in the “act” though… In a Commissioning Ceremony, new ranks have been distributed and officers appointed. Tse Moana – Lieutenant of the E-Army Notherfork – Lieutenant of the E-Army Astarial – Captain of the E-Army Neo-Conservatism – Captain of the E-Army Moo-cows with Guns – Captain of the E-Army Tarricoe – Captain of the E-Army and Deputy Chancellor for Defence. Monarch Westwind officially appointed the people mentioned above and handed out the new shining badges! The College of Equilism - The Equilism Civic Holidays Law is up for vote now. Those days might just be a good excuse for the Lord Chancellor to sit in his office and drink whiskey. Yes… that must be the real reason. Oops, I said too much! *sees a black van pull-up in front of the house* - Westwind has signed the new College Laws &Procedures. UN-resolution Voting Equilism voted 6-0-1 for “Disease Prevention and Control”. Bar & Games Almost 160,000 posts in the forum, age, greetings, postcounts, how young everyone is, what you’re listening to now and your thoughts are hot in the bar. Happy birthday Yorna! A fellow Equilismer turns a year older! The good ‘ol classical games are still popular in the Games & Fun forum, so there’s nothing to report on that front. Those of you who are wide-awake will just have noticed that I did report something on that front. It was Westwind’s turn to launch Caption Competition 32, as he won 31. This is the image: ![]() Role Playing & Main Street While the classical games are still popular, the war surrounding Govvistan’s High Elf’s picture continues. Despite President Cowley’s best efforts, fighting is still going on, although it is less intense than it was. A cease-fire is in the works. The only battle is between the fleets of Tycholand and Tarricoe, with fleets from Westleism and Thoughtful Ideas close-by. Open Debate Board God doesn't work, faith is a trick We're still hammering away on this, but we might be heading off topic:
Frakkin' Ron Paul, Yo! The Philosophes asks: and so far he's gotten a tirade of responses. We'll have to keep an eye on this fella... 2008 US Elections As the subtitle says, "let's start even earlier...". Chaucerin is leading the charge on the elections, still a good 17 months away. THIS WEEK'S ODB GRADE: C+ It's been a slow week on the ODB. Still, there's been some great quotes and avid debating, despite a drop in post numbers. Quote of The Week This weeks award goes to Chanik Hooker, with this beauty:
Equilism World Cup 2007 ![]() Equilism World Cup 2007 Ready for launch Ladies and gentlemen – welcome to this year’s edition of the Federation of Equilism Football Associations Equilism World Cup 2007!

Equilism Update June 16, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Notherfork Population: 155 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Equilism has just opened diplomatic relations with Evermoore and is considering opening relations with The New Inquisition. Military Affairs E-Army soldiers have been spotted wearing orange-coloured clothes in Ukraine, surfing in The West Pacific, flying starships at warpspeed through Space, acting cool in Amazenien, The New White Islands and Anime and generally being a nuisance for invaders. The College of Equilism - The College is discussing ideas about writing-down the history and politics of Equilism. - The Equilism Civic Holidays Law has been approved by the College and signed by the Monarch:
Chaucerin resigns Chaucerin has resigned all the offices he holds with immediate effect: the Lord High Advocacy, Member of the Triumvirate of Guardians, soldier of the E-Army and Admin. Chaucerin faces a busy real-life, but also wants more say for the newer members of Equilism. Chaucerin is a long-term member of Equilism and has held numerous positions. He will, thankfully, not be leaving Equilism. His announcement was met with much sadness and thank-you’s. Thank you for all you’ve done for the region, Chauce! Read the Announcement Bar & Games When Squirrels Attack is one of the hot subjects in the bar. Click here for the story! Zorn Uzkul has made an announcement in the bar: baby Zorn has taken his first few steps! Congratulations! Zorn is one proud papa! In other bar business: other hot topics are the Last Book, Your thoughts here, Yourna’s birthday, member’s blogs, greetings, how everyone is, the fact that there are almost 160,000 posts on the forum and postcounts. In the Games & Fun section, all the classic games are still popular. Role Playing & Main Street The classic games in Role Play are still popular. There are updates surrounding the crisis of the Govvistan’s High Elf’s refusal to post a picture of himself. Tycholand was faced in Thorough Port against Westleism, Thoughtful Ideas and Tarricoe, but reinforcements arrived on time. Tycholand wanted to let the enemy fleets depart, on the condition that rhey signed a cease-fire. Meanwhile, a cease-fire in the Peace Summit, hosted by Flexion’s President Cowley, still has to be signed and the conditions agreed upon. After the first day, everyone has retired for the night. Discussions are still going on about the West Equilism Trade Association (WETA). Zorn Uzkul’s Weapons World has opened in Main Street. That guy sells some serious firepower! Quote of the Week By Lord Chancellor Notherfork:
Equilism World Cup ![]() The Equilism Football World Cup 2007 has commenced! In the first round, twenty-four nations divided into six groups battled-out who would go to the Quarter Finals. Those lucky twelve are: Tarricoe, The Lavender Menace, Cernun, Borealium, Westwind, Felasia, Haken Rider, Kangawawa, Thoughtful Ideas, Neo-Conservatism, Restored Othalla and The Merlion. The Quarter Finals start tomorrow! Equilism World Cup http://www.equilism.org/forum |

Equilism Update June 22, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Notherfork Population: 145 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs The only news that is to report on the FA-front is that Equilism has rejected an Embassy exchange request with The New Inquisition. Military Affairs Equilism loves Canada! E-Army soldiers have been sighted in Canadian Goose Land and in Canadian Scottish Alliance. They’ve also been spotted helping-out Fort Azure. Our soldiers have also been hammering invaders with hammers and poking them with sickles in the mass-battle in Marixst Leninist Party. The College of Equilism The only activity in the College at the moment is about new members joining and about the Regional Holidaus & Titles. UN-resolution Voting Equilism voted 4-4-0. Our UN-Delegate voted against the proposal. Bar & Games In the Bar & Games section, postcounts was everything the past week! Nagabeth reached 3000 posts and The Merlion and Tycholand both reached 4000 posts. This after a competition between The Merlion and Tycholand on who could reach 4000 posts first: the spamming largely took places in the Games & Fun forum (Tycholand won). Other topics in the Bar are what you’re listening to, your thoughts, Chaucerin’s resignation, blogs, the CTE’ing of Astarial, Zorn Uzkul’s announcement, When Squirrels Attack! and the last book. Also, Tse Moana pointed us to the hilarious http://youtube.com/watch?v=YgnloJgui1U]Human Tetris![/url] Role Playing & Main Street The traditional games in Role Play are still popular. In Merl’s Live Music Pub, people are waving around guns, talking about guns and wanting drinks. Equilism World Cup ![]() In the Equilism World Cup, the Quarter Finals and the Semi-Finals have passed. Four nations progressed from the Quarter Finals to the Semi-Finals (Tycholand, Felasia, Westwind and Restored Othalla) resulting in the matches Tycholand vs. Felasia and Westwind vs. Restored Othalla. Felasia and Westwind won their respective matches and will continue onto the Final on the 24th of June! The Quarter Final was complicated by the CTE’ing of Cernun, which meant that Tycholand was allowed to come into the Quarter Final (see Match Schedules and results thread for more information).

[size=3]Equilism Update[/size] August 3, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Notherfork Population: 121 [-12] Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Responses have been provided to the occurances in The North Pacific and in the Rejected Realms, and have been disseminated to our various embassies. The new Acting Chancellor, Flexion, also apologises for the late publishing of this issue of Equilism Update. Military Affairs - Like the little baby ducks in cartoons, E-Army soldiers have followed their fearless leaders back into Ducks Go QUACK, although we doubt that they've yet managed to use bright yellow down as camouflage. - Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of winter. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success. And lots of shiny stuff. Now recruiting! The College of Equilism - Astarial has been confirmed as Advocate General. Congratulations Asta! - Westwind has been using his powers as Monarch to make some very pleasing proclamations: Enter Lord Chaucerin, Father of Laws and Lady Tse Moana of the Waterfall! UN-resolution Voting Delegate Felasia has voted FOR the recent resolution 'UN Labor Relations Act', based on a vote of 4 Aye and 0 Nay. Bar & Games Restored Othalla has been leading a new wave of spam-warfare in the Bar & Games subforum. Role Playing & Main Street We're still waiting for Nai's lovely maps, while the rest of Main Street seems to have succumbed to the regional summer-slumber, although in a gritty typicality of Equilismers, the 'Attack the Previous Poster' thread has been going strong. Open Debate Board It's been a strong week overall for the ODB, with much debate about the dropping of atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2, more talk about God and Chainik Hocker has been restraining us from a religion flamewar. Quote of The Week
In his very insightful manner, Canada6 again gives us this weeks best quote, although Chaucerin gave him a run for his money with this one in the very same thread...
And there's no forgetting Astarial.
That about wraps up this weeks update from the friendly folks in Equilism. We wish you all the best and we'll see you next week. Take care! |

[size=3]Equilism Update[/size] August 11, 2007 Monarch: Westwind Lord Chancellor: Restored Othalla Population: 121 [0] Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Foreign Affairs Relations have been closed with The Non-Aligned States and Taiijitu, statements are available here. Military Affairs - An unusually slow week for the E-Army soldiers has resulted in the spontaneous production of awards and shiny things. 17 Gold bars, 27 Silver bars and even a Defender-Demi God title have been issued. Congratulations all soldiers! The College of Equilism After a protracted run-up with only one nominee, the College has elected Restored Othalla as Lord Chancellor (again). The results of the vote were:
The outlook is very positive for this next term, and we can be confident that Restored Othalla has many new ideas up his sleeve. UN-Resolution Voting In what might be Felasia's last vote as Chancellor of the Realm, Accesible Family Planning has been give a thumbs up, citizens voting Aye 4, Nay 3. We're almost finished electing our next Chancellor too. The Monkye is ahead 16 to 4 over Wagger-tribe. Bar & Games There has been some more spamming, quite a bit coming from Thoughful Ideas. Good to see him back. Wesleism has also discovered an addiction to spamming and has taken time off to recover. Role Playing & Main Street There hasn't been much real RP'ing since Govv left but the characterisation threads (Attack/Be Nice to the Previous Poster and The Last One Wins) have been very popular. Open Debate Board It's been a slower week on the ODB, with the discussion of dropping atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2 still stirring some discussion. It was (on the 6th and 10th of August) also the aniversaries of the bombings. Quote of The Week

![]() Another roll call is underway in the Foreign Affairs chancellory as part of what Foreign Affairs Deputy If you're in the mood for yet more news from Equilism, check out the latest edition of the Enquirer, populated by prominent Equilismers and other NationStates personalities. Samples are available here: The Enquirer. Future editions will appear upon request, or at the whim of your local ambassador. ![]() While the Chancellory is still vacant, several activities have been taken up by volunteers until a Chancellor can be appointed. (See 'The College,' below.) The Monkye has contributed an article to the Equilism Broadcasting Commission - the weather has never been so entertaining! Read up on it here: News Room. Under the supervision of The Monkye, the Nation Creation Competition has reached the halfway point:
Other nations have volunteered to work on the compilation of an Equilism yearbook, recording notable events and statistics for the year. Others are planning a formal ball for Equilism citizens, friends, and allies to take place in connection with January 4 (Reunification Day) and January 13 (Founding Day). Further details on the festivities will appear once plans have been solidified. Hope to see you there! Department of Immigration - The Monkye has recruited 30 nations in week 51. - Regional population has dropped slightly from week 50, from 169 to 166. ![]() Legislation in the College is awaiting the opening of voting after the completion of the requisite discussion period. In the mean time, Lord Chancellor Tarricoe has opened discussion and nominations to fill the vacant Internal Affairs Chancellory. Long-standing Equilism citizen MILLITARISM has volunteered to take the position in the absence of other candidates, and his self-nomination has been seconded (and thirded) by Tycholand, wagger-tribe, and Naivetry. ![]() The resolution Repeal "End slavery" was passed 7,324 votes to 2,027. Equilism voted against the repeal (1-3-2). ![]() Spam continued to pile up throughout the week, with the usual suspects keeping the Bar and Games section as active as ever. Equilism citizens also welcomed back wagger-tribe after a prolonged absence, and threw a birthday party for Bismarcia. ![]() Wesleiesm's Teh Spamzaar has seen a respectable amount of business this week, as Equilismers take the opportunity to post random pictures, rants, and rambling within its sanctuary. In Flight AN528, Naivetrian officials have finally responded to Tycholandian requests for information, and a glimpse of events on board the aircraft is promised. ![]() 'God doesn't work, faith is a trick' has apparently absorbed all other controversy on the ODB, as other threads fell inactive this week. The debate on religion continues strong, however, with Chaucerin, New Eunomia, and Bismarcia arranged against Azrael (with Naivetry offering the occasional comment within Azrael's posts in the guise of 'my sis'). Currently, the discussion deals with objectivity vs. subjectivity, particularly in connection with morality. ![]() In 'Happy Birthday Bis!, poor old thing':
That, friends, is another week in Equilism. We wish you all the best and we'll be back again next week. Take care! |
