To whom it may concern:

I know who you are and I know why you're here.

I'm a little fuzzy on the "posting privileges" thing. Can we still post in a region where we don't have an embassy? Were postings always restricted to residents in the past? Have all postings by non-residents been considered spamming?

Personally I like being able to post anywhere.

Me too, I haven't any idea what the policy currently is on that.

Yes I think it changed that you can now post in a region that you have a embassy in or something.

Not that regional embassies have been pointless. They have had plenty of points. It's just that you've had to decide for yourself what those points are. Now, though, there's something regional embassies are unambiguously good for! Posting!

Delegates and Founders will find a new setting in Region Control for granting posting privileges on the Regional Message Board (RMB) to nations in embassy regions. There are two ways to go with this: opening the board up to every nation that sits in a region with which your region shares an embassy, or only Delegates and Founders. It's entirely up to each region.

Unless that setting is changed, posting on Regional Message Boards continues to be restricted to residents only.

If you're concerned about peace of mind, never fear! Nations banned from a region cannot post there, regardless of embassies.

While we're talking RMBs, did you know you can preface a nation's name with the @ sign to create [nation]-style tags? Probably not! Because it wasn't announced anywhere! But you can!

There are a ton of great new features nearing completion at the moment, so step back, buckle in, and prepare yourself for a FEATURE EXPLOSION. Maybe don't buckle in. I mean, it could be another couple of months, and then you'd just be sitting there, wondering when to unbuckle. And just as you stand up: FEATURE EXPLOSION. We don't want that.

Basically if that region allows it, you can post on their board without moving regions

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
we understand that thy sixth commandment,
"Thou shalt do no murder,"
includes self murder.
But in thy divine mercy,
we beg thy forgiveness especially for Robin Williams,
who have been so confounded by the pressures of this life
that they felt there was no way they could continue.
Grant, we beseech thee,
that they be forgiven their terrible sin
and accepted into thy divine providence,
and that they may come to understand thy ways and thy nature.
We ask this in Jesus Christ's name.

Amen.

No direct entry from The Black Riders to here.

What would the black riders want with us anyways?

Nothing in particular. They're merely vandals.

I see that I'm the leading arms manufacturer in V.II. Fitting.

I seem to have pointy sticks for weapons

Hey! We're one of the fitter nations :D Yay!

not sure what you mean......

Why am I always the fattest nation here???

I guess because I also have "the largest soda pop sector."

apparently you also have the Largest Arms manufacturing... So you like to develop giant biceps? :o

Yes, I need large biceps to handle the large firearms.

This prayer is offered for those afflicted with ebola:

Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake,
or watch,
or weep tonight,
and give Your angels charge over those who sleep.

Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones.
And for all Your love's sake.

Amen.

Vatican 2 destroyed the values of Catholicism and one day the Lord shall prevail and save his Church from Satan!

Don't get your bowels in an uproar.

Happy Universal Children's Day from Right to Life!

Thursday, November 20, is Universal Children's Day, an international holiday that exists to promote "the welfare of the children of the world."

http://www.un.org/en/events/childrenday/

To celebrate Universal Children's Day, the Region of Right to Life has chosen to distribute a copy of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in which the United Nations set forth ten basic principles that all peoples should uphold.



DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD (1959)

Preamble

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have, in the Charter, reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights and in the dignity and worth of the human person, and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas the United Nations has, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,

Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth,

Whereas the need for such special safeguards has been stated in the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924, and recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the statutes of specialized agencies and international organizations concerned with the welfare of children,

Whereas mankind owes to the child the best it has to give,

Now therefore,

The General Assembly

Proclaims this Declaration of the Rights of the Child to the end that he may have a happy childhood and enjoy for his own good and for the good of society the rights and freedoms herein set forth, and calls upon parents, upon men and women as individuals, and upon voluntary organizations, local authorities and national Governments to recognize these rights and strive for their observance by legislative and other measures progressively taken in accordance with the following principles:

Principle 1

The child shall enjoy all the rights set forth in this Declaration. Every child, without any exception whatsoever, shall be entitled to these rights, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether of himself or of his family.

Principle 2

The child shall enjoy special protection, and shall be given opportunities and facilities, by law and by other means, to enable him to develop physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and socially in a healthy and normal manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity. In the enactment of laws for this purpose, the best interests of the child shall be the paramount consideration.

Principle 3

The child shall be entitled from his birth to a name and a nationality.

Principle 4

The child shall enjoy the benefits of social security. He shall be entitled to grow and develop in health; to this end, special care and protection shall be provided both to him and to his mother, including adequate pre-natal and post-natal care. The child shall have the right to adequate nutrition, housing, recreation and medical services.

Principle 5

The child who is physically, mentally or socially handicapped shall be given the special treatment, education and care required by his particular condition.

Principle 6

The child, for the full and harmonious development of his personality, needs love and understanding. He shall, wherever possible, grow up in the care and under the responsibility of his parents, and, in any case, in an atmosphere of affection and of moral and material security; a child of tender years shall not, save in exceptional circumstances, be separated from his mother. Society and the public authorities shall have the duty to extend particular care to children without a family and to those without adequate means of support. Payment of State and other assistance towards the maintenance of children of large families is desirable.

Principle 7

The child is entitled to receive education, which shall be free and compulsory, at least in the elementary stages. He shall be given an education which will promote his general culture and enable him, on a basis of equal opportunity, to develop his abilities, his individual judgement, and his sense of moral and social responsibility, and to become a useful member of society.

The best interests of the child shall be the guiding principle of those responsible for his education and guidance; that responsibility lies in the first place with his parents.

The child shall have full opportunity for play and recreation, which should be directed to the same purposes as education; society and the public authorities shall endeavour to promote the enjoyment of this right.

Principle 8

The child shall in all circumstances be among the first to receive protection and relief.

Principle 9

The child shall be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. He shall not be the subject of traffic, in any form.

The child shall not be admitted to employment before an appropriate minimum age; he shall in no case be caused or permitted to engage in any occupation or employment which would prejudice his health or education, or interfere with his physical, mental or moral development.

Principle 10

The child shall be protected from practices which may foster racial, religious and any other form of discrimination. He shall be brought up in a spirit of understanding, tolerance, friendship among peoples, peace and universal brotherhood, and in full consciousness that his energy and talents should be devoted to the service of his fellow men.

Father all-powerful,
Your gifts of love are countless
and Your goodness infinite.
On Thanksgiving Day we come before You
with gratitude for Your kindness:
open our hearts to concern for our fellow men and women,
so that we may share Your gifts in loving service.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Mercy, my nation was taken out :'c
