AẞTHA LEADER!

DANEKA HAS STARTED MULTIPLE GOVERNMENT REFORMS FOR DEMOCRACY, AND CAPITALISM.

In a move, the government of Daneka has announced a series of sweeping reforms aimed at transforming the nation into a more democratic and less centralized state. These reforms, which have been in the works for several months, mark a significant shift in Daneka's political landscape and are expected to enhance citizen participation and regional autonomy.

President Fischer Lang, in a televised address, outlined the key components of the reform package. "Today, we take a monumental step towards a more inclusive and participatory democracy," he declared. "These reforms will decentralize power, giving greater authority to regional governments and ensuring that the voices of all Danekans are heard and respected."
The reforms include the establishment of regional parliaments with legislative powers, the introduction of direct elections for regional governors, and the creation of citizen advisory councils to provide input on national policies. Additionally, the central government's role will be redefined to focus on overarching national issues, while regional governments will have greater control over local matters such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

The announcement has been met with widespread support from various sectors of society, including political analysts, civil society organizations, and ordinary citizens. Many see these reforms as a long-overdue step towards a more equitable and responsive governance system. However, some critics have raised concerns about the potential challenges of implementing such extensive changes and the need for robust mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency.

Yes they have the same government

Did somebody say map?

Concord United Map is the most supported and recognised map in Concord.

The map is updated every Monday at around 1700hrs GMT.

The map is mainly for roleplaying purposes but you don't necessarily need to participate in roleplay to join.

If a nation on the map ceases to exist or permanently leaves the region, they will be removed at the next update and will have to reapply to join the map again.

Space on the map is coordinated by nation size, engagement in RMB roleplay and availability of land. (If I gave everyone what land they requested, we'd soon run out of room)

If you have any requests for changes or would like to be added to the map, telegram or DM Masilia on discord.

Read factbook

I'll do a quick explanation of what I understand so far with the map system in case anyone else wonders that.

To be part of a regional map well, you first need to be part of the region first of course, then most regions would ask you to be a citizen of the same (usually by filling a quick application form), and then be part of the roleplay in that region which the map is portraying. You cannot view a map of your nation individually on the site generated or made here when you create your nation. However you can create a map of your own in sites for that purpose and then uploaded it to a factbook of your own nation, it might take some editing and a little time, but if you're into world building or just want to create a map of your own nation for fun, you can totally do it!

So in short, no you can't view a map of your nation given by the site, but you can create your own with programs or apply and join the roleplay, then of course ask Masilia to be part of it in this region in particular. Hope it was helpful :)

Edit: I saw on Masilia's Concord United Map factbook that you don't actually need to join the roleplay to be part of it so that's great too if you're not that interested in roleplaying. That can change as a requirement depending on the region and the map's administrator though. And of course if you have anymore questions regarding this or any other subject on the site, feel absolutely free to ask!

The League & Concord Question of the Day #55: I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation and now QoTD shall resume as normal. If you could instantly learn one language which would you choose?

It's definitely a hard choice between what would be fun to know and what would be useful to know. I'd probably choose Japanese so I could easier consume Japanese media, but Spanish would be really useful in my actual day to day life.

If you have any ideas for a QoTD please TG New San Antonio or DM me on Discord!

After the recent election on December 3rd, the new president, Ludwik Brzezinski, has been elected. He promises to increase civil rights and political freedoms in his term, and will be trying to improve relations with The Dominion of Pinzao, a neighboring socialist country that is currently in an economic crisis.

I personally think that it would be helpful to learn french, as it would be the most effective for me. Mandarin would also allow me to speak with over a billion people. I personally would want to learn an extinct language, as then I could put the translation into a database so that it is not extinct anymore. I love Neo American states's response. Very relatable.

Hey Neo American states, what happened to the December 1st election in your country?

I got Banned of Concord so I couldn’t post anything in December 1 so I had a better idea of turning communist, then going to war against the western block

No it is because we have embassies with the league so in term a region that has embassies with another region gives permission to the members of those regions to chat with each other

oh yeah I forgot about those

Masilia Can i join the role play?

The Asanese wrote:Masilia Can i join the role play?

You don’t have to ask permission to him, You can ask other members because he’s in charge of the map not the role-play. So Sure Come on in!

BTW I’m not trying to be mean to Masilia

Well that's just how the embassy function works, but in the case of The League & Concord they share a joint government. You can read more about why here:

A brief history of Concord according to Fort Concord, Founder

Throughout NationStates history dating all the way back to 2003, there have been seven versions of Concord, including this one. If you would like to see a brief overview of these, Linkclick here to see the NSHistory records for Concord as a region. There have been this many versions of Concord because when a region has 0 nations within, it will cease to exist at the next update and can be founded again, or "refounded".

The story of our Concord starts around March 2022, when the nation Home box office founded the region. This went generally unnoticed until 14 May 2022 when the nation Layem (a puppet of Mauroa) was deleted by the site moderators for violation of the commercialization rule. This nation held the foundership to the region Confederacy of Layem.

When a region's Founder nation is deleted, all executive power goes to the WA Delegate. This makes regions more vulnerable to raids, and in a case of Layem, a raid was certain at the first possible opportunity. Layem, both their founder and the region, were known for a myriad of bad things such as persistent antagonism and infiltration of other regions (most notably The League), tolerating fascism within its ranks, and other forms of bigotry such as transphobia. The full extent of their wrongdoing cannot be explained on-site due to NationStates rules, but suffices to say they had cemented themselves with a reputation as an awful region.

With Layem's founder nation deleted, a liberation proposal in the WA Security Council was quickly drafted and submitted by myself through my other nation, Quebecshire. For the unaware, a liberation proposal prevents a region's delegate from applying a password to the region. Mostly they are used to prevent raiders from destroying a region, but also can be used offensively (such as in this case) to prevent a region from sealing itself off to invasion.

Since this meant Layem as a region was effectively doomed, Mauroa ordered its community to relocate to Concord, revealing Home Box Office to be a nation of his. The nations of Layem quickly moved there and attempted to set up their new region. However, a day later, on 15 May 2022, Mauroa and Home Box Office, as well as many other nations under that player's control, were deleted by moderators. Sedgistan confirmed the following day that Mauroa was "Delete-on-Sight", meaning he was fully banned from the game and cannot make new nations.

Immediately after Concord's founder nation was deleted, The League's Defense Forces organized a coalition of regions to invade the region. At the following major update (when military operations can take place), a 40 nation coalition invaded the region and took the delegacy with ease. I personally pointed the invasion under the nation Rhaza, and a report on the invasion was posted here.

Thanks to the help of our allies and other supporters, Rhaza and the other invading officers accumulated over 100 endorsements, with Rhaza eventually reaching 150. The large volume of this invasion made removing the Layemites who had moved to Concord very easily due to how new the region was, and it was locked down within a couple of days on 18 May 2022. For about a month after the invasion, Concord was closed and in a trophy-like state, as seen on this LinkWayback Machine page.

However, in a discussion in June amongst leaders of The League, Ikania (also the player behind St laurent) suggested that Concord be re-vitalized as a part of our community's goals for the upcoming game changes and updates. As such the government published an order that Concord would be rebuilt as a region bound, but equal to The League, as explained in the decree itself. Some time later St Laurent published a dispatch to honor the region's history, which can still be found on the main page, and also viewed at this link. The ultimate plan was to turn Concord into a Frontier region once that game update released.

Because of this, Concord stands as a large and respected region, an integral part of the Republic that spans two regions, both The League and Concord. The region stands for the values of tolerance, defending the defenseless, and good community building on NationStates, a redemption of the name that has only been possible because of the work of those who seized the region from unsavory hands and rebuilt it as something better, a home for nations of all kinds.

After re-establishment, Mechanocracy was appointed WA Delegate and efforts to set the region up started. The Old Man of the Mountain (Yupsie/UPC) helped place them in the seat, and eventually the region was opened and recruitment efforts began. At first, things were somewhat slow though they picked up heavily in the fall and Concord began growing rapidly, side by side with The League.

In December 2022, Concord established the Domestic Security Bureau, comprised of the Consulate of The League & Concord, the WA Delegate of Concord, and two new Vice-Delegates: Council of Feathers (fomerly Neo polisophos) and Southwestern Federal Republic (The New Fandom Republic). The two Vice-Delegates were appointed to maintain high endorsement levels and influence, better enhancing Concord's security once it eventually became a frontier.

Early in the morning on April 18th, 2023, the Frontiers update was released. The transition began almost immediately, finally putting the final step in motion for Concord to become a Frontier.

After the two week transition period, Concord became a Frontier on the minor update of May 2nd, 2023. The first nation to spawn in Concord was Muffinland.
