You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.

I exploit you
Still you love me

Like Bradford John and Tannenbay

The artistic talent flows like a river! I love it!
I'm also thankful for the fine nations in Novus Lucidum at this hour, for allowing 
The Evergreen Cangaluyan Maritimes to speak to the residents on our behalf. We hope a reconciliation with our former comrades will produce lasting friendships!
My inbox has been ON FIRE but it's all quiet here lol...busy few days.
We are pleased to announce our former allies in United Empire of Islam have agreed to establish formal ties with Declansburg! We are grateful for them. I told them that their act of kindness will not be forgotten!

Alright folks, I'm setting up a provisional (temporary) regional government. This is to hold us over until we can get things sorted out with our structure...
Odinburgh and Shreminov
Yes but under the Declansburg name. Or we could have a official nick name like Radiant Daxlorum or Declanaxorum. Hmm just forget the nickname.
The Constitutional Convention has officially commenced!
Our Draft Constitution is here and it's up for ratification. Please ratify the Constitution in the poll we've posted. The floor is open for friendly amendments but if no nation objects to any language by the completion of the poll, we will consider this language final. I'd like to seriously thank Yaxopsville (they took the lead on this) and 
Dux Milan for all their hard work on this. Without further ado...the draft constitution!
Nations of Declansburg: The founding nations of Yaxopsville and Dux Milan have joined New Bradfordsburg in the authorship of a regional constitution, which shall be commissioned for the purpose of creating a prosperous region. This document will give rights and regulate them to balance the competing demands of law & order, freedom, and security. This document was duly updated by the Assembly of Declansburg on Aug. 19, 2023 (2035 in RP).

December 10 is a regional holiday! Wow! I have to point out what the significance of the number 10 and why its so great in relationship to me. My birthday falls on September 10th and my birth year 1980. Only difference is different month and the year.
I vote in favor. However I would suggest an amendment on nations who decides to take extended break especially such as founder and who takes charge. Of course there is the question of what if they never return then what happens then but perhaps that may fall under similar to parliament disbandment rule I suppose. I guess what I am suggesting is a line of succession. NS mods are considering a similar thing such as democracy/autocracy thing which I hope they do it.
