Touche. But there are priorities.
is that good or bad lol?
i don't remember doing that
In my opinion, there are no priorities. All states means all states, it doesn't mean "Well ok but look, this state is not THAT bad so we can leave it around right? Right?" And since I don't believe that there will be a revolution to come or something like a "revolutionary movement that will go around abolishing state after state", I am more inclined to just go with the idea of small communities of revolutionary and insurrectionary people, rather than a "mass movement" that will most likely not happen or will be more liberal than what we are supposed to be.
Sorry if I might come off as bold here, given it is kind of hard for me to still really agree on a lot of ideas that are around in the "mainstream left"
It was a joke, my person.
Well good for your citizens, but for anyone using a foreign currency? God no. This basically means your poorest are billionaires in other countries
ah crap lol how do i fix this? I'm alreadt having trouble trying to raise my civil rights and now this

Welcome to The Communist Bloc!!
Welcome to The Communist Bloc! You've probably come here either attracted by one of our recruitment telegrams, our leftist debates, or just the large population count under the socialist tag. No matter the reason, you are now home and you have now found your place! So what to do? I'm sure there are about a billion things rushing through your head right now, and no idea where to start in this massive place. So let's do a quick overview of the region first. The Communist Bloc (aka TCB or The Bloc) is a Pan-Left-wing region comprised of real-life socialists, communists, and anarchists. We welcome all people regardless of sexuality, identity, ethnic background, or religious creed.
The Bloc is a highly democratic region where anyone has every opportunity to join the community, bring their fresh new ideas, and contribute. We have roleplay, competitive elections, fun community activities, and even the ability for everyone to participate in making the law of the region through our directly democratic institutions. There's something for everyone here in TCB.
So what should you do now that you've joined? Well, there's alot that's available:
Apply for Citizenship: Citizenship is your ultimate ticket here in The Bloc. Citizenship on the TCB forums allows you to vote in our regions directly democratic legislature, run for office, gain full access to the discord, and become a full-fledged member of the community. Anyone who wants to do more than answer issues should consider doing this.
Our Regional Forum:
Our regional forum is where most of the political scene of the region takes place. It’s very important for anyone who’s interested in participating in our region's government to join the forums. Making an account is very easy and simple. Should there be any problems, Comrade Kethania should be contacted.Our Regional Discord: Our regional discord is where most of our casual interaction takes place. Much of the active portion of the region’s community spend most of their time here than on the RMB debating. It's highly recommended that comrades join if they want to become active.
Our Government: The Bloc’s Government runs on the principles of socialism, equality, collective leadership, direct democracy, and freedom. It has a unique four-branch system. With an executive handling governmental affairs (such as activities, immigration, interaction with other regions), a democratic legislature that makes laws for the region, an elected Judicial Branch to interpret the constitution and the law, and an Administrative Branch which moderates the discord and the forums and acts in a policing capacity. The most important principle, however, is that the World Assembly Delegate is not the leader here. The people, in fact, influence the appointment the WAD through the popular will.
How Can I Get Involved in Regional Government?
To get involved, it’s important that you have citizenship. Without it, you cannot any of the activities below. If you have not already, please refer to the links above for newcomers to get started. For newcomers or older members who want to become members of our community, it is highly recommended to begin by gaining citizenship on the forums, and then joining the discord and gaining full access using said citizenship. Following that, the best thing to do is to volunteer for a ministry and then make yourself known in the community by being active and interacting with people (don't be shy, we don't bite).
Volunteering for the Civil Service: The first thing that every citizen should try and do is apply for a ministry. The regions ministries are the main bodies that carry out the governmental work in the region. Depending on who you are, you can become a diplomat, a reporter for the news, a activities organizer, a roleplay manger, or assist on the legal team! You can volunteer here.
The Constitution: Anyone who wishes to become more active ought to eventually read the Constitution. Yes, I understand that it is long, personally, it took me a few tries to fully finish it. But it's wise to have knowledge of the highest law of the land.
Join the People's Revolutionary Air Force: What now? Do we have a military? To many, this may seem confusing, but it is perfectly normal for NS. The Communist Bloc is home to its very own military; the People's Revolutionary Air Force. It actively assists in raiding right-wing, fascist, and other reactionary regions in the game. Their goal is to eradicate them completely, whether that be through attacking them directly or by defending fellow left wing regions, and to remove the ability of fascists or other reactionaries to use this game as a real-life recruitment space for their toxic creed. Join the Discord now to find out more! If you feel like you can't dedicate a lot of time to the Bloc's military, but you still want to help, telegram First Minister New Astri, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Defense Krajzovda or Air Marshall Pan kath to be added onto the reserve roster. Read more about our reserve program here!
Other Useful Links Relating to TCB
Below are other links pertaining to the region and its interactions with other regions. It is recommended for people to look at these if they really want to get involved.
The RMB Rules: This is a must-read for any resident. The RMB Rules should be followed by everyone at all times. This ensures that the region's RMB is safe and reflective of our values.
Familiarize Yourself With Regional Law: As a Socialist Republic, The Communist Bloc is very dedicated to a democratic system with order and procedure to carry out government duties and policies more effectively. As a new member, feel free to familiarize yourself with a few basic documents.
The Index of Past WA Voting Recommendations: The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs maintains a list of all voting recommendations that have been issued so far. If you wanna become more active in the World Assembly, be sure to read through the list and analyze the different rationales given in the voting recommendations!
Anti-Fascism and Why We Fight: Above all, TCB is a left-wing region eternally committed to fighting fascism. Right-wing thought, especially fascism, is not tolerated within this region. We do not believe that freedom of speech extends to those who's sole purpose is built on racism, death, and dictatorship. TCB as an NSLeft member participates in the interregional military alliance of Antifa, and helps them to destroy the influence of fascists in the game.
The NSLeft: The Solidarity Pact of the NationStates Left, or the NSLeft, is the largest and most influential leftist alliance in the game. TCB is a member of this important alliance. Formed of only leftist regions comprised of real-life leftists, NSLeft seeks to further interregional leftist solidarity and create a united front against right-wing reactionaries.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Someone is misbehaving on the RMB! What do I do?:
Please click this Big Report Button Thingie to send a telegram to our RMB moderators. You should include links to posts/pages containing improper material. Please also report to game moderators if applicable.Why should I become a citizen?
Many reasons. Citizenship is like a switch from "just hanging around" to "being a full-fledged part of the region". Citizenship allows one to vote in elections, run for positions in government, participate in the discussion on forums (which is where the most of it happens), and all that good stuff. If you are not yet a citizen - you're missing out.You may be suspicious of this whole bureaucracy, and wondering why can't we just allow the aforementioned freedoms to everyone. Well, there are good reasons. This world is dark and full of very very bad people doing all sorts of illegal and immoral activities. Citizenship allows us to prevent them from running for offices, spying on our region, etc. Unless you are one of those very very bad people, you have nothing to worry about.
If you have any more questions, please, feel free to telegram Solveneia, and he will answer to the best of his ability.

If something is unclear, please, feel free to telegram Solveneia, or another government official.

No need for it to be fixed. A strong economy is signs you’re doing development well. As for civil rights, it’s a bit funky. Whilst mines may say “Very Good”, it only fell from Superb because I banned cars and guns. Increasing this just means allowing the public to do more stuff, like access to recreational drugs, freedom of expression, e.t.c
In short, strong economy=everyone doing well, bad economy = everyone is starving

What is everyone’s thoughts on the Corporal Punishment Ban proposed in the World Assembly?
I agree with the principle, but the title of the proposal suggests a general ban, while the text only mentions corporal punishment in schools (which would have the duty to inform students and teachers), while it does not explicitly prohibit corporal punishment towards criminals.
Furthermore, the definition of "corporal punishment" in this proposal should protect BDSM practices from people who enjoy it, but would also include punishments of "consenting people" belonging to groups that accept such punishment (eg ultra-religious communities or schools) or with strong internal hierarchies (martial artists, armed forces).
I think it's going to be repealed quickly if it passes. As the comrade above mentioned, there are a lot of holes and faults in it.
