1) Nation States is a game. I know people like to bring real world politics in here, but there is nothing nefarious in playing a game the way you want. In fact, the entire landscape of NS is a farcical, grossly hyperbolic, mock, facsimile of real life. Players are encouraged to make ludicrous “choices” between radical policies every day. They are encouraged to make insane countries where bicycles are the only form of transportation, the internet in banned entirely, people are grown in vats, and then eaten when they lose their value to society. Trying to draw lines in the sand and accusing a player of being nefarious because of his or her fantasy nation is idiotic.

2) Calling people fascist carries zero weight or credibility. Fascist, racist, nationalist, systemic, and pretty much any word that ends in “ist” or “ism” has lost all meaning in 2024. Thanks to the utter abuse of the English lexicon by people who lack the capacity to convey any form of meaning; society has devolved into the wonderful world of ad hominem. Slapping someone with a label is now enough to de-person them and no proof is even required. Don’t like someone or something? Don’t want to actually engage is any meaningful conversation? Call someone an “ist” and watch them destroyed out of a, ill ironically use the work “phobia”, of being associated with a nebulous ideology.

3) If you place your trust in some list made by an angry, radical, NS player; you should probably go outside and touch grass. This is not the first time I have seen this “Problematic Regions List” mentioned before and sadly, I don’t think its going anywhere. But if this is your Bible in determining how to play this game then there may actually be no hope for you.

4) This is the internet or 2024 people. If you expect to come here for anything meaningful, valuable, uplifting, or credible, please DM me. I have a guaranteed opportunity for you in the Crypto market, a Nigerian Prince who just needs you to send him $1000 so he can unlock 1 million is gold, and a plot of land in Scotland to sell you.

5) We have been raided in the past, we will be raided in the future, but CO will endure. King Bruce will eventually return and deal his divine justice as he always has.

Firstly, thank you Thee Imperium 0f Man for your wisdom, and your sane and measured response to all the recent ridiculousness that our region has been subjected to. You are clearly a voice for the majority in our region who have no interest in the petty spats that others are bringing into our region, which have also contained a number of threats. You are a much valued resident and officer in Chicken Overlords and I’m always pleased to see you still here on my returns.

Secondly, this pretty argument has gone too far and must not reignite. Chicken Overlords is a region for nations to come together in a relaxed way, to enjoy each others company and to have fun, not a forum for you to air your petty grievances against other nations that are not relevant to Chicken Overlords. We have always pursed a policy of an open RMB, but there is a limit to that. If you wish to hurl insults and accusations, don’t do it here.

Thirdly, I will not tolerate threats directed against our region, or to our residents. Those threatening to attack, destroy or otherwise harm our region will be banned, and if necessary, embassies will be closed. Again, we have always been very tolerant of a wide range of viewpoints, but openly threatening the integrity of our region is not something we can accept under any circumstances.

Fourthly, I’ve seen no convincing evidence that Central London is a fascist. All the so-called evidence seems to be tenuous accusations from those who aren’t even members of our region and cannot justify this ongoing persecution and vilification of him. Any serious concerns should be shared with regional leadership and should not take the form of personal attacks on the RMB.

Chicken Overlords may not be the most active region and it’s not likely we ever will be, but we’re not going to collapse or be raided and we’re not near the end in the slightest. We will continue on long into the future. Nor are we simply an inactive puppet storage that any nations interested in active gameplay or roleplay should avoid. Chicken Overlords has always been, and remains, a welcoming and free region which accepts all those willing to respect the region and each other and I’m confident that we will be bigger, better and greater than ever.

In order to engage with our residents and to ensure the best and most passionate residents are representing our region, we will be holding elections for the position of WA delegate. I will, naturally, still retain executive authority and the position of delegate itself, due to the likelihood of raiding, will retain its current level of power, but this will be an opportunity those those interested in regional government and our residents to engage in a process to ensure the most capable nations are serving our region in government. If you’re interested in applying for the election, please say so in the RMB or telegram me directly.

Thank you for reading and I hope residents will feel eased by these clarifications. Please direct any questions or queries to me and I shall address them.

King Bruce
