Thankfully I managed to find another flight, though I went homeless for a day. I suspect the ongoing snowstorm was why my flight got cancelled.

That's very likely.
Also, I should be asleep by now, it's like 1:30 am in Singapore.

I would like to make the people of your esteemed region a proposal on behalf of the Union of Allied States.
I see that your Founder has unfortunately met his demise. However, we would like to safeguard you from raids by establishing a protectorate over your region with the appointment of a UAS Resident Minister. Otherwise, we would like your region to merge into our own. The terms of merger are very agreeable. For one thing, you get to become full citizens right off the bat. Besides, it doesn't look like this place has that much activity anyway.
Ouch.
But anyway, jokes aside, I like it to stay the way it is for now.
While we may not always be active, it's a nice, quiet region to chill out in and to represent Singapore. I value our independence right now.
Of course that is simply my opinion; I have no idea what my fellow regionmates think about this proposal. If they agree to this arrangement, I will wholeheartedly support it.
For now though, much has to be discussed before we can come up with an adequate response to this suggestion.
Pandena, Zheng Yi Sao, and Valentine Z
I appreciate your responses. Just let me know when your region has formulated an unequivocal response to my request.
For your information, you can see our Protectorate Policy Bill currently being voted on in UAS Government Board. It's pretty unintrusive and conciliatory, in my opinion.

Ahh, and just finished two of my papers last Thursday and Friday. Maths was all right... Physics was just bad. Holy moly, I never felt so helpless in an exam before.

Sooo does anyone have a opinion? I just wish everyone could get along.

USA's decision was completely unnecessary.
Not only was it technically insulting to the other Abrahamic religions, by claiming that the entire city was under Israel's jurisdiction, but it also reduced USA's bargaining power and role as a negotiator in the region.
The middle east is a diverse region made up of various races and religions, so any attempt to enforce this rule will ultimately generate unneeded disharmony and fuel even more violence.
I fully support the two-state solution. Israel and Palestine should exist alongside one another. No peace can be achieved without proper diplomatic recognition and engagement.
Of course, this isn't to say that the Palestinian regime isn't at fault. They regularly target Israeli civilian areas with rockets, and agitate for extremist violence. Progress can only be achieved through the toppling of the radical elements within their ranks, and proper public education for their people.
This is easier said than done. The War on Terror and the subsequent intervention of the USA in the middle east failed to resolve tensions, and even led to a new wave of radicalism rising once more. The undying support of the arab spring and the betrayal of their former allies also made the USA many enemies. Some compare the performance in the middle east to that of the Vietnam war, in terms of its strategic failure and unclear goals.
Ultimately, regimes in the middle east that are forcibly overthrown only result in the aiding of terrorist recruitment and distrust of the USA. In order to truly bring this violent chapter of human history to a close, the USA must cooperate with all players and stakeholders in the region and help them come to a compromise.
You know, by acting as an impartial negotiator of sorts.
Something that Trump has done the complete opposite of by completely siding with Israel.
Disclaimer: I actually support Israel.
I am also a freethinker.

On an unrelated note, Philippines has been raided. We should remain on high alert.

If our idiot president doesn't start a nuclear war before he gets out of office, I'd be very much surprised. He's already screwed us with the abolishment of net neutrality and the middle class will be paying more taxes with his "tax relief".

Very nice, indeed. I don't have the time or patience to make one for my nations.

Good Morning,
I, New Porto Rico, President and World Assembly Delegate of the Confederation of Nations, announced on December 12, 2017 my desire to step down as President in January 2018. At the same time, I presented a Executive Order announcing a snap election in which permit any nation from all the embassies that it currently have the ability move and run for President of the Confederation of Nations if desire so. I do not want to indicate that this is recruiting message but diplomatic message between our region.
As President I wanted to say I am honor to have this region as ally and wish the very best for both our region in the new year.
Thank You,
New Porto Rico
President/World Assembly Delegate
Confederation of Nations
Yeah. Most of my nations have only one to two short paragraphs forming their backstories.
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We wish you and yours the same.
My personal opinion is that's not a good idea and could undermine your Region.
New porto rico, Singapore no2, and Valentine Z
I know, but the region is in a dying situation due to a Court Case that happen in our region and a personal matter (Hurricane Maria in my home country) has caused that the participation go to all time low in the region
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
You flatter me by associating the CON's healthier days with the age of the IF.
