Message from the President of Ejoland, to the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Dmiscry, Valkyr Straindorf.

Greetings, comrade.

Ever since my visit to Dmiscry, admittedly not so long ago, I have wanted to reciprocate your courteous invitation and friendly reception, by inviting you for a state visit to Ejoland.

Beside further showing the friendship between our nations, this would also give you the opportunity to see our people, culture and society - with century old socialism - first hand. And to discuss matters of state with our cabinet.

I look forward to your answer, whichever it may be.

Comradely regards

-Casper "Rödskägg" Gunnarsson, President of Ejoland

I certainly intend to reciprocally pay a state visit to Ejoland and have the opportunity to experience its culture and society first-hand. The friendship between our nations must indeed be strengthened in the difficult times we see today and so I will gladly accept the invitation.

Salutations and greetings, your Imperial Majesty.

I will cut to the case, as I am sure your time is valuable. I suppose you have heard about the political situation in Gestonia?

The current Prime Minister, John Texas Goodlooking, aim to abolish the disgrace of democracy, and steer Gestonia on a course towards the natural order. There is soon to be an election in Gestonia.

In my opinion, this seem like a golden opportunity. If Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking succeed, and if he also stand by what he have told me his intentions are (which I hope he does), that will make Gestonia a natural ally of us.

Yet, your Imperial Majesty have been remarkably silent about the entire affair. I can not help to wonder, what the cause of this seeming disinterest may be.

I fully understand, that you as a monarch may have many other matters to tend to. However, even a few public words of endorsement for John Texas Goodlooking and his Christian Order Party would help, as royalty is respected in Gestonia. At least among those who are conservative-leaning enough to vote for the Christian Order Party.

As your Imperial Majesty may already know, I support John Texas Goodlooking and the Christian Order Party, and have endorsed them publicly. The endorsement was well recieved.

If you have any concerns about this, please let me know. I fully recognize that Gestonia is located much closer to Drussia than to Ejorike, and that Drussia and Gestonia have strong historical ties. I assure you, that my intent is to spread and strenghten God´s natural order, not to infringe on Drussia´s interests.

If your Imperial Majesty wanted to join our efforts, I would much appreciate this, and I am sure John Texas Goodlooking would as well.

I look forward to your reply, your Imperial Majesty. My highly regarded ally.

Sincerely

-King Maxim III of Ejorike

It is with great joy that we announce the early start of the National Christian Government that will be represented by our PMOG candidate John Texas Goodlooking. We thank our predecessor Kevin McCarphy for his work and commitment to the peace of our nation.

The government does not represent just one group or one party, but rather the entire good people of Gestonia. To celebrate the peaceful course that our nation will take from now on and that we optimistically believe will continue for many years and electoral cycles, Prime Minister Goodlooking has submitted and the majority of the parliament has already approved the following measures:

* Establishment of Christianity as the official religion of Gestonia
* Granting Prime Minister Goodlooking the role of official communicator of King Edward IV at the regional forum
* Termination of diplomatic relations between Gestonia and The Socialist Republic of Ejoland
* Establishment of diplomatic relations between Gestonia and The Kingdom of Ejorike
* Immediate payment of the debt of 175 billion rubles between the Kingdom of Gestonia and The Holy Empire of Drussian made as financial compensation to Drussia for the independence of Gestonia in the Treaty of Independence of Gestonia of April 2022.

In addition to these things, we announce that our new official banner will be a portrait of an child hugging a elderly woman (nation=gestonia?banner=y167), to mark the union between the old and new generations that our government must encourage, because the young are the future and without valuing the wisdom of the elderly, we will not be a healthy society.

Work dignifies the man and may God bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of August 12, 2024

Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking has established that by August 31, all of our nation's factbooks on the NationStates website must be "in excellent quality and formatted to the standards of the best nations on the site." If this deadline is not met, the staff responsible for this task will be replaced by ChatGPT and a human proofreader for the texts created by the platform so that there are no linguistic or factual inconsistencies in the published text.

To assist responsible officials, factbooks may adopt the following standards:

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia in August 13, 2024

It is not our intention to publish daily announcements, but during the initial period of our government it will be necessary to publish more frequently to inform the population about our administration. That being said, some clarifications:

* In the previous announcement, employees will not be fired, only reassigned to other functions;
* Our government believes in efficiency and quality as fundamental values ​​of a work environment. In recent years, companies have submitted to a logic of demanding less quality from their employees in the name of rushing to deliver products to make a profit faster. This is visible in the vast majority of films, games, food products, household appliances, among other things that are made available to the market recently compared to the same ones from 10 or 20 years ago. This logic has even affected the French Olympics, with medals that are disgracefully tarnished (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/poor-quality-chipped-losing-shine-paris-olympic-medals-deteriorate-after-just-one-week/articleshow/112410396.cms?from=mdr);
* Our government is against this logic and demands that its employees perform their tasks with excellent quality. We have to stop accepting "the best possible" and demand the best or something that the Prime Minister and the top government officials consider minimally acceptable, without backing down. If you can't deliver something good, the problem is with you. Improve. It's not society that has to accept your best, it's you who has to improve to be respected by society;
* Media outlets claim that our government has cut the right of state employees to free psychological care. This is fake news. What has actually been done is that these free psychological services must now be requested in advance to a psychological evaluation committee and a performance evaluation committee, which will assess whether the employee actually needs the right or not. If the two committees disagree, the criterion will be the employee's income, and the employee will undergo an initial free consultation to assess whether their mental health is really compromised or if this is just a nervous lapse in the nervous times we live in. Being sad because you have difficulty paying your bills and chronic depression are not the same thing. One of them can be reversed with faith in God and the courage to seek a change in your life, the other cannot without medical help.
* The officialization of Christianity as the official religion of the state does not prohibit people of other religions and people without religion from working for the state. If these people feel uncomfortable with the beginning of the workday with the Lord's Prayer, they can remain silent or start their work before the other employees. A prayer doesn't hurt anyone. If you hate the Lord's Prayer that much, quit. Muslim employees are not prohibited from praying, as long as they do so in a private place.
* The fact that our prime minister has worn a cowboy hat indoors on many occasions does not give employees the right to wear caps in the workplace. And whoever invented that our government prohibits male employees from wearing panties was lying. We do find the idea of ​​men wearing panties repugnant, but we are not going to inspect our employees' underwear. And yes, women need to wear bras to avoid any embarassing situations. And casual Friday is over, if you want to wear flip-flops, wear them at home, unless you are of a religion where people are not allowed to wear shoes.
* The pending "trans issue" will be closed in a later Communiqué. Employees who identify differently from the gender God designed them for at conception will continue to be on paid leave until this issue is resolved. If such an adult appears in government facilities, they should be addressed by the "living pronoun" if the person makes an effort to appear as a person to whom God has designated that pronoun. If it is a bearded man who claims to be a woman, they can be addressed as a man or called by the name that is on their legal documentation. If such a person wants to use the bathroom, they should be accompanied. As a certain former Prime Minister said at a recent political event, "There are no trans kids".
* We do not use too harsh language, it is the current generation that has been taught that "words hurt" in order to be more docile in social interactions. In fact, words can cause negative feelings and we do not encourage people to insult each other, but actions speak louder than words and people must accept that in life they will hear things they do not like to hear and that there are truths that should not be softened.

God Bless Gestonia

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia in August 14, 2024

Great news, the National Christian Government has fixed a technical error made by the previous administration. This error was made on June 5, 2023, and consisted of the idea of ​​letting an artificial intelligence take control of our economy. Unfortunately, the artificial intelligence used may have been manufactured in Ejoland, and so its use initially resulted in the implementation of socialism.

The practical result of this was a severe capital flight and a significant loss of foreign investment, as our credit rating at Standard & Poor's went from AA to BBB in a matter of hours. AI stopped running the economy in July of last year, but NationStates only considered that we returned to being a capitalist nation today, August 15, 2024. There is a serious inconsistency between the characteristics of a country established by the NationStates website and what the country really is, therefore, our Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking will exercise caution in resolving issues to prevent a serious error like this from happening again.

Another thing on the agenda is that the current Prime Minister's biography on NationStates needs to be ready and of high quality by Monday. The information he requires to be present is: Childhood, Media Career (Television, Radio, Podcast), Political Career (Delawor special election in 2023, Senator for Delawor, candidate for Prime Minister in the Conservative primaries, campaign for Elizabeth Trussendart, leadership and candidacy for Prime Minister of the Christian Order Party, Prime Minister of Gestonia), political positions and personal life (OOC: curiosities about him will also be added). And although we know that the Imgur website no longer allows images to be visible on the website, the Prime Minister requires that his biography have an infobox with his image. He will only accept a link to his image if there is no option to make his image visible. Look for other websites besides Imgur for this, only include the Imgur link if you find absolutely nothing!

God Bless Gestonia

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia in August 15, 2024

Good morning, Gestonians, it is with great joy that we announce that soon His Highness, the brother of King Maxim III of Ejorike, Prince Daniel of Ejorike, Duke of Älveland will grant us an illustrious state visit on behalf of his brother. Do not fall for the fallacious lie that the purpose of this visit is electoral, as was the visit of the leader of the socialist regime that took over Old Ejoland. The true purpose of this visit is to deepen the ties of collaboration between our two nations on strategic issues. May God bless Ejorike and its royal family.

Second topic, our ministerial cabinet, after some meetings and deliberations, will be composed of the following people. Please be aware that we have reduced the number of ministries as one of the instruments to remedy the budget deficit left by previous administrations, particularly that of Elizabeth Trussendart, but this will be further clarified in a future Communiqué.

Attorney General: Andrew Medwin
Minister of Agriculture and Environment: Thereza Cristhen
Minister of Communications: Marge Tail Green
Minister of Defense: Yorick Isaac
Minister of Economy, Trade and Development: Edter Paul Capt Yevdokim
Minister of Education, Culture and Sports: Sarah Pallini
Minister of Family and Human Rights: Key Ivay
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Ernest Arvaugium
Minister of Health and Social Security: Marshal Kerog
Minister of Justice and Public Security: Sergium Morvium
Solicitor General: Augustus Areas

The following ministries were abolished and had their functions reallocated to other ministries:

- Ministry of the Environment
- Ministry of Industry
- Ministry of Commerce
- Ministry of Public Works
- Ministry of Development
- Ministry of Sports
- Ministry of Science and Technology
- Ministry of Culture
- Ministry of Entrepreneurship
- Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services
- Ministry of Women
- Ministry of Planning
- Ministry of Social Security
- Ministry of Labor
- Ministry of Transportation
- Ministry of Tourism

Now, the third and last topic. In fact, our government is not obliged to respond to social media memes, but we will not ignore that the recent memes about our Prime Minister and our administration are not organic and spontaneous, but rather organized by a political force that is an adversary of our government (OOC: Here are the memes, : ) https://imgur.com/a/memes-against-goodlooking-Q40Nu0N). We can clearly see this with the use of figures related to progressive entertainment programs in some of these memes as a psychological instrument to irritate our followers, it will not work because our followers are not emotionally manipulable like the followers of the political forces that are adversaries of our administration, especially those of a certain blonde woman who had a relevant position in the government recently.

May everyone have a good week and may God bless Gestonia

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia in August 19, 2024

Good morning everyone, there is some serious news that needs to be announced. According to an investigation by the Ministry of Economy and Development, the occupants of the former Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Development and Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services allegedly received bribes to favor certain contractors in the processing of public works tenders between February and May 2023. The values ​​of the irregular contracts exceed 20 billion Gestonian dollars. The evidence found of irregularities was sent to the judiciary for analysis and judgment on the matter.

Another relevant piece of news is that we have strong evidence to suggest that former Prime Minister Elizabeth Trussendart currently has assets belonging to the Gestonian state under her irregular possession. These assets would be documents related to her administration, lawsuits involving the Trussendart Foundation made before and during her administration. The search and seizure operation against her in Drussia on the accusation that she had stolen documents from the Drussian state at the end of her government as prime minister and in February 2024 resulted in a plea bargain after Trussendart proved that she had no intention of keeping the documents found in her residence, however the Gestonian Law is less flexible in this regard and if Gestonian documents are found in her property, she may face severe political and criminal sanctions after trial.

Attorney General Andrew Medwin called for the impeachment of former Prime Minister Trussendart. The case will initially be tried in the House of Representatives as provided for by the impeachment law, after the admissibility trial of the chamber, whose Speaker Michael Johnston has already accepted the opening. The House of Representatives will hold a session to discuss and vote on the impeachment, which will take place next Wednesday. If the impeachment is approved, the process will go to the Senate, where there will be five sessions: one to present the case and the prosecution's findings, one for the defense, one to hear witnesses for the prosecution, one to hear witnesses for the defense, and one for the final vote on the case. The impeachment requires a two-thirds majority in both houses to pass, which is equivalent to 333 deputies and 40 senators. Since Elizabeth Trussendart is not the current prime minister, the punishment for impeachment is a ban on running for political office for 8 years, starting from the date of the final approval of the impeachment. If she were the incumbent, she would need to be temporarily removed from office after the House vote (and could return if the process were rejected). The impeachment of a non-incumbent prime minister has no time limit for processing, while that of an incumbent prime minister would take 3 months.

The final message is that the motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Goodlooking filed by Senator Ronaldo Latores claiming that our government came to power in “a shady deal made in the previous Prime Minister’s office” and that supposedly both our administration and Prime Minister Goodlooking’s re-election campaign had “irregular and opaque relations with the Ejorike government” are unfounded accusations and that the motion is purely a strategy for the Liberal Democratic Party candidate to show confrontation with our government in order to boost his name in the polls for the November legislative election. This attempt will fail because, in addition to the request having no legal basis, as it is based solely on inferences, it is an obvious attempt by the three opposing political groups that have already "governed" this nation before to overthrow our government through immoral subterfuges. They will be unsuccessful because, if they had a senatorial majority for this futile request (something we are certain they do not have, as we have 24 senators), we have already filed a preventive habeas corpus to prevent Prime Minister Goodlooking from being overthrown thanks to this illegal motion, which is likely to be nullified at its origin with the defeat in the parliamentary vote. We strongly recommend that the senator wait until the weekend to communicate his intention to the regional forum.

May everyone have a good week and may God bless Gestonia

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia in August 26, 2024

Good afternoon, citizens of Gestonia. The National Christian Government is responding to the recent movement on social media calling for class II senators to run for re-election now.

Gestonia is a democracy, we see people from our support base believing in this idea and it is clear that, in theory, it is not only our political group that would make any political concessions in this situation. However, we suggest that the senators of our political group exercise caution regarding this situation. We will hold a meeting on this matter over the weekend (OOC: Prince Daniel of Ejorike, Duke of Älveland will send a representative to this meeting) and on Monday Prime Minister Goodlooking will make his public position on this issue from the Prime Minister's pulpit in Parliament.

May everyone have good weekend and may God bless Gestonia

- Official Communiqué from the government of Gestonia on August 30, 2024

(OOC: "Class II" is the official name for senators running in the next legislative election. Class I are those running now. Senators are divided into classes, each state has one senator from one class and each class alternates its elections every two years, giving senators four-year terms. According to Gestonian law, if a special legislative election occurs, as occurred in January 2023, a new draw to define which seats are in which class is held; the draw was held during the Kevin McCarphy administration in 2023. Senators in the mid-term class (now Class II) have among their prerogatives the right to formally resign from the seat they are in to advance their reelection bid for it (however, they will still have to run again in 2026 if they win this special election). They remain in the seat until the elected senator is sworn in; if he is reelected, everything remains as it is; if he is defeated, he leaves the seat the day after the election.)

Nothing special is happening today, Gestonian citizen, this message is just to remind you that on your worst days God is watching over you so that you can have faith and overcome your adversities.

Work dignifies man, stop complaining and be a happier citizen with what you have. Our adversaries will claim that you are a special individual and that is why you should have a car, your own house, the "right" to travel wherever you want, do an exchange program in Germany with a government scholarship, free medicine, that kind of thing. It is not true, the one who gives something like that to a person is God, life is not made up of worldly shortcuts, those who follow God's path may not have everything, but they will be happy people. Materialistic people are gloomy and feel empty even though they have many material goods, our ancestors in distant times were happier than us even though they did not have the comforts that we have. When we die, we will not take material goods with us, we are just grains of dust in the vast universe.

Think about this statement in important civic moments, especially in the year 2024. Don't fall for con men and end up having to choose between your children and your pets. And don't underestimate the ability of shady people to harm simple and good people.

Good night and God Bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of September 14, 2024

It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Senator Ronaldo Latores in the crash of an ATR-72 GT 9. The plane took off from New Drussia at 6:55 a.m. and was headed to Lincoln, D.C., so that the congressman could complete his weekly workday after spending the weekend with his family.

Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking has declared a week of national mourning and has decided that parliamentary sessions for this week will be canceled, and that a special session of Congress will be held on Wednesday to mourn the death of the congressman. In addition, an official statement will be made on radio and television regarding this tragic event. The congressman's family will receive an official visit from the Prime Minister and his entourage on Tuesday, and we will be present at the senator's funeral. Due to the proximity of the national legislative election and Latores having exercised the prerogatives to which he is entitled under Section 4 of the Electoral Law No. 12 of 1994, the special election for his replacement will take place on the same day as the national legislative election. His replacement for an interim term from August 20 to January 9, 2025 must be nominated by the Liberal Democratic Party as established by electoral law, and must be a New Drussian who has been a member of the Liberal Democratic Party for at least three months. The replacement has the right to run for re-election if he so wishes, although press releases state that the individual most likely to be this replacement does not intend to exercise this prerogative out of respect for the late senator.

And lastly, any speculation linking our administration to this situation is likely to be treated as slander and defamation, so anyone who makes such a connection will be subject to appropriate legal proceedings. In fact, according to an article by journalist Magdalena Dżesika, the political group that would benefit most from this situation would be a political group whose one of its most influential leaders adopts as a personal nickname a tribute to an animal of the taxonomic class Cephalopods. According to the journalist, this group has created highly unpopular governments around the world (including the government of the "cephalopod") that impoverish people, and therefore the captive electorate of this political group, believing that these governments adopt the Washington Consensus agenda, would be migrating to people with Ronaldo Latores' philosophy. Once again, according to the journalist, not our administration. Our political differences were clear and evident, acting to eliminate Latores from worldly existence prematurely would be something that ordinary people would call shooting ourselves in the foot, because people would naturally tend to believe that the premature elimination would have been carried out by our administration. The investigations are being carried out independently and we trust the police authorities of this country; there is no evidence to date that Ronaldo Latores' death was a political crime.

God bless Gestonia and may Ronaldo Latores rest in peace.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of September 16, 2024

Citizens of Gestonia, the National Christian Government is continuing the tradition that began during the 1996 legislative elections and is publishing voter statistics and other information relevant to the electoral process exactly one month before the election. As of today, it will no longer be possible to register to run for office or collect your voter ID to vote in the 2024 legislative elections. You can still try to collect your voter ID, but it will only be issued after the elections.

First, we would like to point out that for the fourth consecutive election, there has been a significant increase in the number of individuals who can be considered Gestonian citizens who have obtained their voter ID and are now eligible to vote in the Gestonian elections. It is worth remembering that the voter ID is no longer a recommendation but a requirement to vote in Gestonian elections since 2019. Since 2022, Gestonia has had an increase of 5,105,581 voters, of which 3,997,098 are native Gestonians and 1,108,483 are immigrants from other countries who have gone through the naturalization process and then obtained a special voter ID, marking a record number of non-native Gestonians who have become voters. In short, instead of 27,650,758 voters, Gestonia now has 32,756,339 voters. To find out how many voters there are in your state or municipality, check the website of your local electoral authority.

Another relevant piece of information is that, based on the electoral reform approved in June 2024, from this election onwards, all states with fewer than 500,000 voters will have their legislative elections for senators using a pure district voting system. In other words, there will be no second round in the senatorial elections in these states, regardless of whether the winning candidate receives more than 50% of the votes or not. The states that fit into this category are:

* Bowsters (314,508 voters)
* Franciun (278,931)
* Lincoln D. C. (210,513)
* Owon (52,034)
* Richard (105,678)
* Treinton (310,143)
* Zimp (157,890)

In the remaining states, there will be a second round if the winner does not receive at least 50% of the votes. The state that used the metric that the candidate could have a 10% advantage over his competitor (Starks) will now have to follow this rule.

If you live in a state that does not have a runoff election, be careful who you vote for, as the chances of someone you don't like winning just by dividing the electorate of your political line, as happened in the last UK election, are significantly higher in this situation. Of course, the Gestonian system is much more efficient and uses the second round as a metric to bring the election result closer to what the majority of the Gestonian people really want. However, of course it is not up to an institutional statement from one government to judge another government, but rather the Gestonian population who may want to prevent experiences that it considers negative from other places from happening here.

Now that there is only one month left until the legislative election, think seriously about who you will vote for and vote responsibly, because your vote will not only impact you and your loved ones, but the entire Gestonian society. We hope that the majority of the Gestonian people will be intelligent and recognize the achievements of the National Christian Government.

God bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of October 3, 2024

Citizens of Gestonia, the purpose of this statement is to raise questions about the recent statement by the Socialist Senate candidate for the state of Delawor, Drederick Ryan. Last night, in an interview for a podcast, he said the following:

"Interviewer: So, candidate, what will be your stance and that of your party in scenarios of a second round between the Democrats and right-wing candidates in the Senate elections? Will you support them because the Democrats represent the least bad alternative or will you remain silent because they are also right-wing?
Ryan: Look, first of all, we need to see how the COP performs on November 3rd. If the COP gets the seven senators it needs to obtain an absolute majority in the first round, in my personal opinion, supporting the Democrats in some second-round scenarios that may arise will not make any difference.
Interviewer: Look, if the COP gets an absolute majority, I think that an opposition bench with a significant number of left-wing opposition senators will make a difference in the parliamentary game. Mainly for a popular mobilization to overturn the measures of the second term of the National Christian Government.
Ryan: Man, look, if we see the nature of the National Christian Government and the COP, the leadership of both, the supporters and the people who are behind this government, if the COP gets a parliamentary majority, the parliamentary game is over. I think we're going to have to play another game, and we all know what that game is."

If the "game" Dedrerick Ryan is referring to is what we think, it is serious that he threatens the peace of the Gestonian people in this way. The left says that we are intolerant, but apparently, the real intolerant ones are the leftists.

And there is no point in the left defenestrating Ryan. If we look at the behavior of the left around the world, the modus operandi is the same: demonize their adversaries and preach that the only way for them to effectively get what they want is by annihilating them. I hope that his testimony to the Federal Police tomorrow will be enlightening.

God bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of October 6, 2024

Citizens of Gestonia, this announcement contains two important notices. The first is that the vote count will begin nationwide at 5:00 p.m. The latest electoral reform established that voting will take place using third-generation electronic ballot boxes. In other words, citizens will vote using an electronic ballot box and a paper with the portrait of their candidate for the position they are voting for will be printed. After printing, they will check on a screen whether the printed image matches the vote they cast in the ballot box. If so, they will be able to confirm their vote and then the printed paper will be stored in a physical ballot box. There are two ballot boxes in each polling station, one for votes for national deputy and another for votes for senator, which means that the votes for both will be in separate physical ballot boxes.

There will be two vote counts, one for electronic votes and one for printed votes. The result of the electronic vote count will be released more quickly due to the logistics required to record the votes on paper. The paper votes will be counted by 500,000 ballot counters spread across the country, with the division being proportional to the population of each state. The count will be broadcast live at all times, and in each district the counters will be in a room lined up on chairs next to each other, with the number of rows depending on the number of counters in each district (we divided them into horizontal rows of no more than 10 people each). We thought about detailing the logistics, but they are complex, so they will only be recorded for the counters and available for consultation by interested parties on election day. The final official result will be the result of the count of the printed votes. For those who are concerned, we are watching (https://imgur.com/wpcDOk3).

The other warning is that Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking has decided that we will not respond to the inquiry of the diplomatic representative of the illegal rebel socialist government that currently controls the lands of Ejoland.

God bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of October 17, 2024

Citizens of Gestonia, especially those who live near Delawor and its surroundings. It is with great respect and devotion to God that we invite you to the special All Saints' Day Mass that will take place at the headquarters of Pastor Elijah Goodlooking's Meeting of the Enlightened by the Lord Congregation. In addition to attending the service in person, it will also be possible to follow it on the congregation's social media.

Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking and his entourage, some government representatives and senators, and religious leaders will be there. It will not be charged an entrance fee, but we recommend that members of the congregation pay tithes. Non-members may join or make a separate donation to the Congregation, unless they are already members of another congregation. Speaking of other congregations, before they accuse us of illicit favoritism for this disclosure, this announcement is only being made because Prime Minister Goodlooking will be there and therefore will need to miss the last electoral debate for next Sunday's election, which will take place at the same time as the service.

Another warning is that the judicial request for our government to stop using the slogan "God bless Gestonia" is simply offensive, as the petitioners say they are dismayed because, in their sick minds, the phrase "God bless Gestonia" is becoming a fascist slogan simply because it is being used by the National Christian Government and its supporters. Come on, any government can ask God to bless our nation, if previous governments have not done so that is their problem, our government will not give in to pressure from pastors of a heretical church who think that our God, whom we have revered since the time Jesus came among us to save us from perdition thousands of years ago (the Jews since before, we must acknowledge), should be subjugated to the Orwellian newspeak of the Woke Left [OOC: Yes, they are talking about the Anglican Church, which is considering referring to God by gender-neutral pronouns]. And it is with great pride and respect that we say:

God Bless Gestonia.

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of October 27, 2024

Citizens of Gestonia,

There is only one day left until the election that many in the media are considering the most important legislative election of our lives. Although the media treats the election this way, opinion polls also show that our abstention rate could reach a worrying 45%, which would be a record if it actually happened, surpassing the abstention rate in the 2020 election, which due to the Covid-19 pandemic was 38%.

In our view, one reason for such a high abstention rate would be the fact that the population of Gestonia is tired of a frenetic and at the same time stagnant political situation in which the political class fights and causes tension and division in society to distract people and not make any practical political changes to a harmful reality. This was the reality in a more intense way during the Trussendart-McCarphy government, the National Christian Government, on the other hand, managed to bring some order to the chaos. But this is still not enough. In our view, the only solution to end the tense and complicated situation that the people of Gestonia are tired of one in which one of the political forces of Gestonia must achieve an absolute majority in both houses of parliament. However, this is not enough. The leader of this government must be a serious person who is prepared to guide our country in a minimally coherent direction.

Prime Minister John Texas Goodlooking wishes all voters good luck when they vote tomorrow and that they make the right choice for our future and the future of future generations. Although we certainly hope to remain in the government machine, in the name of the nation's legal security and the continuity of a functioning government for a longer period of time, the National Christian Government wishes good luck to the opposition candidates and voters, because Gestonian is a Christian Democracy. Even though they have ideas that we disagree with and some even consider to be degenerate. We are fighting a fair electoral contest against them in this year's election and we believe that we will not be defeated, but in a democracy, anything can happen.

If the opposition wins honestly, we will recognize the victory and make a smooth and peaceful transition of government yes. There will be no surprises if this happens because the National Christian Government does not intend to cause chaos in Gestonia just by maintaining our administration, although we judge it to be much better than previous administrations.

We pray to God that we will not have to face any surprises this November and that our end-of-year celebrations will be peaceful and loving.

God bless Gestonia

- Official statement from the government of Gestonia of November 2, 2024

Read factbook

Just a short comment on the 4th communiqué. In order for an AI to implement socialism, said AI must have the authority to either nationalize or collectivize private property. At a massive scale. Although I suppose the word "socialism" sometimes is given a broader, severely watered down definition in the Gestonian discourse.

I can not tell whether the AI was made in Ejoland or not, since I do not know which AI it is.

-Eliana Stenberg, Ejoland´s Minister of Foreign Affairs

Good afternoon to all the leaders of Krillin, especially our main allies, Qassadia, Ejorike and now Gestonia.

I have been questioned in my court about my delay in expressing a personal public position regarding the recent events in Gestonia. Well, as my brother once said in this regional forum, I am more conservative than he is, so I think it is clear that I see no problem with the rise of a Prime Minister so committed to the natural order that he would immediately break off diplomatic relations between Gestonia and the illegal rebel socialist regime known as The Socialist Republic of Ejoland (something that a person who until recently claimed to be very conservative had four months to do and did not do), who has seized territories that rightfully belong to our ally King Maxim III of Ejorike. I should add that recognizing that the idea of ​​a secular state is just an excuse to encourage people to become secular and formalize Christianity as the official religion of Gestonia, remembering very well the historicity of the relationship between the Gestonian people and Christianity, which must be preserved, is also an attitude worthy of a noble individual.

I am surprised that this individual has managed to get the explicit support of my foster mother Wilhelmina von Vagsh (of course I love my biological mother Princess Sophia of Kyrtatigal and she also loved me very much, but that is not the subject of this message), a person who tends to be reclusive in public events and considered electoral politics a small thing not worthy of an empress mother (despite the embarrassment that a certain person created with her at a certain time) and of an Emperor, which is why she always encouraged my brother to participate in the politics of Gestonia and other contries that adopt the so-called democracy as little as possible. Perhaps JTG is a rare individual who came from below and thinks like someone of high lineage. My silence was only in fulfillment of my imperial duties and I wished to express my position personally, so I asked Ludmilla Verusya or my brother to not say something on my behalf. By the way, dear little brother, I want you to leave my biography and the factbook about my coronation in good condition, since, from what I understand, that complicated work at the university is now finished.

- Her Imperial Majesty Nicole II of Drussia

There is indeed some truth in the above public message. Given the relevance of the events, I thought it would be better to express myself personally on this issue. However, the delay was partly due to a certain initial caution I had about Goodlooking.

Of course, his political rise among the conservative masses in Gestonia ended up being decisive in the definitive defeat of a person who tried to manipulate my brother and could be joining forces to act against me (and probably against you too): Elizabeth Trussendart. Who is resorting to a softening of her image, to the ridiculous point of using a hairstyle that makes her look like a progressive woman (https://imgur.com/Pb2vFh3) to try to manipulate voters of the Democrat Jaylynn Arden and the Liberal Democrat Ronaldo Latores (and I dare say, perhaps the Socialist Corwel East) since she can no longer do that with my brother, with the young immigrants from my country in Gestonia and with conservative Gestonian people. However, I was cautious about him out of prudence, imagining that perhaps he would act like Trussendart if he were to gain power in the future, but I now see that I was wrong.

- Empress Nicole II of Drussia

OOC: Nicole II's adherence to Goodlooking is not sincere (at least not yet). In reality, Nicole does not care about Western politics and she has a tense relationship with her stepmother Wilhelmina von Vagsh since her father Vladimir married her shortly after her mother's death. Nicole tends to have a more silent and pragmatic stance depending on the situation, but she is indeed conservative and believes in the natural order, in her own way. Regarding her relationship with Nicolaus, it has always been friendly due to the younger brother's personality and she has never had any ambition for the Drussian throne, she only suspects that Wilhelmina intended to use Nicolaus to strengthen her feudal family, the Vagsh family, in Drussian politics (perhaps even too much). The Vagsh family did indeed intend to strengthen themselves in relation to the other feudal families, but not to the point of becoming the dynastic family through unorthodox means (the natural way would be through mixing between the Vagsh blood and the blood of the royal family over generations), as this would only lead Drussia into chaos and they would gain the reputation of usurpers.

Never run across that one before? It feels very realistic to many I am sure.

Oh, I have gotten the issue before. And I have no doubt, that it may happen in reality.
My point is, why the heck would anyone take issue with it?
Of course, I understand that there are moralists who would. But almost noone would have a problem with it in Ejoland.

It's kinda odd that there is no straight-forward "I don't care option" (or even - totally endorse it option, it's NationStates after all) (unless you count dismissing an issue)

Citizens of Gestonia (and of Krillin who are seeing this message), the purpose of this statement is to raise questions about the recent statement by the Socialist Senate candidate for the state of Delawor, Drederick Ryan. Last night, in an interview for a podcast, he said the following:

"Interviewer: So, candidate, what will be your stance and that of your party in scenarios of a second round between the Democrats and right-wing candidates in the Senate elections? Will you support them because the Democrats represent the least bad alternative or will you remain silent because they are also right-wing?
Ryan: Look, first of all, we need to see how the COP performs on November 3rd. If the COP gets the seven senators it needs to obtain an absolute majority in the first round, in my personal opinion, supporting the Democrats in some second-round scenarios that may arise will not make any difference.
Interviewer: Look, if the COP gets an absolute majority, I think that an opposition bench with a significant number of left-wing opposition senators will make a difference in the parliamentary game. Mainly for a popular mobilization to overturn the measures of the second term of the National Christian Government.
Ryan: Man, look, if we see the nature of the National Christian Government and the COP, the leadership of both, the supporters and the people who are behind this government, if the COP gets a parliamentary majority, the parliamentary game is over. I think we're going to have to play another game, and we all know what that game is."

If the "game" Dedrerick Ryan is referring to is what we think, it is serious that he threatens the peace of the Gestonian people in this way. The left says that we are intolerant, but apparently, the real intolerant ones are the leftists.

And there is no point in the left defenestrating Ryan. If we look at the behavior of the left around the world, the modus operandi is the same: demonize their adversaries and preach that the only way for them to effectively get what they want is by annihilating them. I hope that his testimony to the Federal Police tomorrow will be enlightening.

God bless Gestonia.

Yes, Goodlooking, I already imagined that you would send this message here. To begin with, a socialist calling for armed struggle in the middle of an election campaign in a fascist government like Your Excellency's would be political suicide. One of two things: either this young candidate is an immature boy or this is a game he has planned with you because he is running for senator for YOUR state against you because you are the incumbent senator (and since you are the current prime minister, you would only fail to win if more than 70% of the people of Gestonia hated your government, which is not the case).

Did I fight armed struggle to get to where I am now? Yes. However, I would very much like not to have needed such a drastic measure, not all socialists like armed struggle, I myself would have loved to have come to power peacefully and without having to fight in a war against Drussia to ensure the independence of my country. In fact, most of us Dmyscrians think about our fathers, brothers, sons, grandsons and friends who died in the Great Patriotic War and wish that all of them were alive and contributing to the socialist state now as free workers. I will say only one thing: the working class takes up arms only for self-defense.

Funny, how JTG or someone in his government go out of their way to interpret every statement by their opponents in the most malevolent way possible, but do not spend a single breath on denying the intentions, which said opponents suspect them of. Almost as if JTG can not bring himself, to say that he do not want to turn Gestonia into an autocracy, and to denounce any such intents regardless of which side may have them.

I wonder why. What was it JTG stood for now, again? Something like... "the natural order"?

Gestonia wrote:Liberal democratic republican? me?! Your majesty, I think the information your majesty receives about me is misleading. I am as much a defender of the natural order as your majesty, the point is that I am trapped by the chains of political liberalism in order to survive in a system dominated by democratic liberalism...trust me that when I become prime minister I will gradually put the natural order on control of Gestonia.

- John Texas Goodlooking, Leader of the Christian Order Party (and the party's only senator today)

What King Maxim III of Ejorike (who this was adressed to) mean with "the natural order", is absolute monarchy, with noble privilegies and without freedom of religion. Just look at how it is in Ejorike, where King Maxim III is the absolute monarch.

So, the suspicions expressed by Drederick Ryan do not seem to be without merit, at least to me. I find it hard to see, how JTG´s response above to King Maxim III, can be interpreted in any other way. As far as I can see, JTG told King Maxim III of Ejorike, outright, that he intend to turn Gestonia into an absolute monarchy. If that succeed, the parliamentary game will indeed be over in Gestonia.

In which case the only way to oppose the government, will be through other means. Whether that mean peaceful protests, civil disobediance, general labour strikes or outright armed struggle, that is what remain if the people can no longer vote the government out.

So I have to respectfully disagree, with my esteemed comrade Valkyr Straindorf´s statement above. I do not think Drederick Ryan said this in a covert attempt to help JTG, it would just be too stupid of JTG to ask him to bring this point up. He could had formulated the point in a better way, but I think calling him "an immature boy" for that is to go too far.

The point he made about JTG´s intentions, seem entirely correct. His mistake was not to back it up with evidence, which I just did. Or perhaps I should say JTG did? It is a publicly available message, by JTG.
