Good day,
I am the administer of the United Regions and this is an official message from the organization. I personally have failed in my duty to effectively lead this organization and mould it into an alliance which member regions deserve. This coupled with the fact that I have my final school exams in September has led me to the decision of relinquishing control of this organization.
I am looking for a successor to administer the organization and bring the success which I am not able to provide. Therefore, if any nation is interested, please contact me @ United regions diplomat. I require a nation with:
an extensive evidenced Interregional experience
an unimpeachable record
proven leadership skills
knowledge of the workings of the United Regions
and a stern determination to get things done
Nations without any of these necessary qualities need not apply. Applications close in a week.
Regards,
URD
Nominations have closed for the quarterly election, and the incumbent WA Delegate has been re-elected unopposed.

There is one major difference though - USA has the biggest population of the major ice hockey playing nations. It should dominate ice hockey at the Olympics completely. The fact that it doesn't may well be due to the foreign players in the NFL.
Also, in football, more than any other sport, the results tend to be very close and can turn easily on a single event. A single mistake from one individual. Furthermore, the major international competitions are partly knock-out based so the results in these don't really say that much about the actual abilities of the nations. It's just which team performed best on the day. To really assess it properly you'd need a season long league of national teams, but I doubt that'll ever happen.
A few other things have particularly affected England though:
- The other major European leagues also have large numbers of foreign players, but their native players go abroad. English players rarely do.
- Professional football in England seems to mostly draw from the poorer and less educated sections of British society. Rugby and cricket get the wealthy and well educated players. This leads to a culture of ignorance within the native game, where overt signs of intelligence are shunned. Foreign influence has changed this somewhat, but the national side has suffered from a lack of organisation and good leadership. Particularly the available choices of team coach.
- Loosing top players to other home nations. Ryan Giggs, Gareth Bale and George Best being the most obvious examples. Wales in particular shouldn't be a national side because its top clubs play in the English leagues.
and
So basically you're a bit upset that Giggs, Bale, and the likes of Ramsey are playing for Wales instead of England and Wales should be abolished as a national team because of it.
Got it.
Presumably if Scotland or Northern Ireland produce a core group of talent in their teams you'll be calling for them to not have a national side either.
Inger-lund, inger-lund, INGER-LUND!
Oi oi.
Soooo Scottish Independence anyone?
Really hoping it is a no vote to be honest
Sodoff has a long history of Caledoniaphobia (see "Sodoff - A Brief History in Print" in the national histories on the Democratic England website). Let's just say I'd like to see a smoked Salmond on the menu.
Whatever happens I think they've wrecked their relationship with the English. I don't think the scars will heal in a long time.
Hello
HI! Welcome to England.
Thanks
England has several traditional football teams. Does anyone have suggestions for me to cheer for any team?
I is back.
You should support Luton, Brasuca... ;)
Welcome Brasuca, cheer on Arsenal! ;)
On a separate note, I've been playing another game recently. (My heart will always be with Nationstates but I'm happy to explore what else is out there). The game I've been looking at is called World of Leaders. Anyone had a look at it? They have elections, you can be mayor, set budgets as well as vote in Parliament when you are an MP. It's fairly new and can be a bit unstable. (It has French developers!) I've created an area on the forum if anyone is interested in trying an additional political game.
Anyway, how is everyone? Sorry I haven't been around much.

Arsenal is a great team! Let's go gooners! =)
I always have been interested in political games.
The Islamic State is one of the worst terrorist groups I've ever seen. Beheading live online?
Welcome back ASX!
Why is everyone quiet?
Why have we been put under password protection?
Hi Wilkosaurus Rex,
To answer your question, there have been some security issues recently and both myself and Tyrr agreed that the best solution was to temporarily place the region under password protection. In the spirit of democracy, I will create a regional poll in regards to the password protection. That way, everyone can have a say on whether or not this password protection will continue. The poll will be open for 7 days.
B&B
Is there any indication those security issues remain?
It's difficult to vote on something where we might be uninformed.
Our allied regions (large and small, founder and founderless) have been recently been relentlessly bombarded and occupied by raider armies. We have also observing the activities of suspect nations who were stationed in our region. These nations in question were compromisng the security of the region. In order to preventing a similiar fate to England, we decided to place England under password protection.
Regions still continue to be raided, but there haven't been any further threats to our region in recent times.
B&B
Appreciate the clarification B&B!
Soooo, should we be talking about the Zombie invasion due to hit our shores next week?
