Welcome to the region.

There's shortly going to be a perfectly legal and constitutional coup in Croxoco (staged by the King using certain reserve powers at his disposal). My question for you all is, what form of government, for the purposes of delta, should Croxoco have?
- A Parliamentary System (revised version of present system)
- A Presidential System (kinda like the US, but with a life-term elected Monarch, rather than a 4 year-term President)
- A Semi-Presidential Monarchy (combining a politically powerful Monarchy (with powers similar to those of the French President) with a Parliamentary System
- An Imperial Autocracy (combining absolute monarchy with a fascistic and expansionist regime)
- An Authoritarian Monarchy (the monarchy has unlimited executive power, and shares legislative powers with an elected legislature, but where issues are depoliticized and opposition silenced (akin to present-day Russia, but with a monarchy instead of an 'elected' president)

I'm Authoritarian monarchy in the RP. While the power of the military and foreign affairs rest in the hands of my Grand Duke the legislature serves at the will of the Grand Duke. It's mostly a tradition that the legislature handles everything else.

As for your government it depends on what you want to do in the RP. Having a stable head of government with a lot of power limits you on sudden changes in self interest in RP. With me I'm not going to have election much so it wouldn't make sense for me to suddenly leave the DU and join the KU. With a democracy or some form of constitutional monarchy I have a RP way to have my government change its mind. If you go parliament system I recommend having multiple parties so coalition governments are a thing. It would allow you to fiddle around with the numbers to get any government majority you want.

Corporate Monarchy. Modernize feudal systems into a corporate architecture. With your king as the Crown Executive and your dukes as the Board of Nobility.

Sounds like a monarchial version of Salazar's "New State" in Portugal back in the mid 20th Century... could do, with the King as a sort of "managing" partner.

That would be interesting but lower rung of the population may not earn enough to contribute directly to the economy. I guess the distinction between serf and peasant is the peasant earns a hourly income and pays rent. The serf probably has the basics provided for him and may be able save enough money to buy their freedom.

Serf? Peasant? I think you mean to say employee.

So, after months of drafts and revisions, the constitution for my nation is finally complete. In substance, it draws heavily from the US constitution, though creates a Parliamentary Democracy along the lines of Germany and a Constitutional Monarchy along the lines of the Dutch Monarchy. It is however formatted in a way similar to British Acts of Parliament. Culturally, I've finally decided to base my monarchy along the lines of the House of Bourbon (French, Spanish, Neapolitan and Parmese), but with substantially reduced power, akin to somewhere between the German President and the Dutch King. Politically meanwhile, Croxoco is dominated by a Prime Minister... but this Prime Minister enjoys a position closer to that of the German Chancellor rather than that of the British Prime Minister.

Edit: My nation's monarchy will also take inspiration from the Medici family of Renaissance and Early Modern Florence.

I should have known better. I blame my excitement over a crappy pun.

Presently watching proceedings in the U.S. House of Representatives... and by God I have to say that Congress is a particularly dry legislature... has absolutely none of the passion you'd see in the likes of the British House of Commons :')

I've seen what your legislature does. And you Brits think you're classier than us here in the good ol USA.

We must be, given that those rebel scum put many of the principles of the largely unwritten British constitution into the horribly rigid American one :') The fact that all bills concerning money must originate in the House of Representatives was an idea copied from the British principle that all bills concerning money must originate in the House of Commons. Hell, the US even stole the idea of having a ceremonial mace for their legislature :') I'll take lessons on constitutional "classy-ness" from an American, just as soon as y'all remove the parts of your Constitution that you so blatantly copied from us :p

Nah, just kidding haha :') How are we all?

Hello, I decided to return to NS to look for an rp group. How active is this region?

Hello. Welcome to the NCON. Honestly, we’re on the semi-active side of the RP spectrum. It’s very dependent on how active any of us feel like being and have time to execute.

Interesting. I'm guessing you all use this more than discord considering there are only 24 people on the discord chat?

Yes, we use the RMB much more than Discord. We also have a NS forum page dedicated to lengthy, in-depth RPing, as well as some side 1-on-1 “diplomatic channel” RPs between a few members to facilitate communications and coordination of main RP actions and events.

I should qualify that the amount of activity is very dependent on the current RP activities in play. If that makes sense? For example, lately we’ve been concentrating on setting up basic treaties and stuff, so players take their time to read, consider, and respond in due course. Whereas, if a player starts some conflict, RP can pickup and become intensive very quickly.

Well, after much revision, I finally have a national coat of arms worthy of the Empire of Croxoco:

Looks well made, great job.

Is that where every RP takes places at? If so, can I get the link for it?
