URGENT VOTE! Under the authority given to me, as Speaker of Parliament, by Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution of United Valhaven, I am hereby calling an Urgent Vote of Parliament on the following question: Should Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution of United Valhaven, regarding the days and times of meetings of the Parliament of United Valhaven, be suspended one time to allow Parliament not to meet on the weekend of 10-12 April 2020, because of the observation of the Easter holiday?

Voting yes on this matter would allow Parliament to not sit this weekend because of the Easter holiday. Voting no would require Parliament to sit this weekend regardless of the holiday.

In accordance with Article IV, Section 5(b)(i) of the Constitution of United Valhaven, this vote will be open for at least 24 hours. In accordance with Article IV, Section 5(b)(ii) of the Constitution of United Valhaven, this is the only matter for consideration in the Urgent Vote.

This is the link to the Urgent Vote. Please vote here: https://forms.gle/RVFTZJ612g7L9fGM7

This vote will close at 1:00pm Central Daylight Time on 7 April.

The time for the Urgent Vote has expired. *raps gavel* The result is:

Urgent Vote 1: Should Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution of United Valhaven, regarding the days and times of meetings of the Parliament of United Valhaven, be suspended one time to allow Parliament not to meet on the weekend of 10-12 April 2020, because of the observation of the Easter holiday?
Result: Failed, Parliament will meet this weekend regardless of the holiday.
Breakdown: 1 Yea, 1 Nay

About the Ruling: There is no constitutional provision for the event of a tie vote in Parliament. Therefore, as Speaker, I must follow the next most relevant constitutional provision. Article IV, Section 3 requires that propsals must pass with an absolute majority vote. A 50-50 split is not an absolute majority and, therefore, the Urgent Vote fails.

If you have any business you wish to bring before Parliament in Meeting 2, please let me know before 9:00pm Central Daylight Time on 9 April. I will finalize and publish the agenda after that point in time.

Many apologies for my recent absence and for not organizing a meeting of Parliament as should have been done this past weekend. If you have any business you wish for Parliament to consider in our next meeting, feel free to telegram me.

Oh good heavens - apologies (again). Parliament is now in session! Here is the link to the meeting: https://forms.gle/A78iJYtsJh5uE1SE9

Parliament will adjourn on Monday, 27 April 2020 at 9:00pm Central Daylight Time. This is to adjust for the late start.

Meeting 3 of the 1st Parliament is adjourned. There was no official business on the schedule and therefore no announcement of results to report.

Meeting 4 is scheduled to open tomorrow. Therefore, if you have business you wish to see considered, please let me know via telegram tonight.

Thanks, all! Stay well!

Hey, sorry about my activity.

Iv'e been swamped by college since the COVID-19 outbreak. Online courses require so much more work, it sucks. My semester ends in two weeks, so i'll be more active then ;)

Segennea

Oh god - same. I do sincerely apologize but my school year ends in two weeks and I will be more active. Until then, I'm drowning in Zoom meetings and teaching from home.

Dear nations of United Valhaven,
Hello. My name is Laharao, but you most likely don’t know me by that name. Instead, you know me as Kreotopia or Akanla. After years away from this game, I have decided to return, albeit not to this region. But, after spending my night reading our old RMB posts, I felt the need to make a statement here, seeing how our peak I was here and the “collapse” of this region was partly my fault. So, I spent the night in quarantine, putting together a timeline between old RMB posts, sent TGs and my own memory to explain to you all, in detail, what happened between me, you all, and Ante Meridiem (a name which lives in infamy):

In the late summer of 2015, I discovered NATIONSTATES online, after being bored of other games I had played. I was looking for something collaborative and I got it with this game. I decided to create the nation known as Akanla. After moving around a whole bunch, I settled in this region, United Valhaven during the middle of a justice crisis. A whole bunch else happened before and after but for briefness (of what I assume will be a long post) I’ll keep it short.

I decided to show this game to my best friend (who remains my best friend to this very day) Konstantinus. We were freshman in hs, how could we know what would happen? Bad things. A massive influx of nations, both bots and not. Big fights. Cyber bullying that spilled over into the real world. A death (YES actually). It was a disaster and it was the craziest thing in freshman year.
It spilled into United Valhaven and caused a huge fight, massive bannings and a ton Of people Leaving the region which ended up leaving us where we are today. I ended up going to another region letting two of my accounts CTE. I became the second in command of one, but then eventually CTE.

So why did i write this post? I was reading through our all RMB and I just felt bad. I was a pesky little 14 year old. I’m 20 now and I still don’t know anything. But I’m a writer so I felt the need to document what happened. To see this tragedy. It’s not serious, it’s a game, but that’s a cop out. We put our souls into this, made it tissue, made it mass, made it ours. I don’t take blame for what happened entirely, but I kickstarted this butterfly effect. I’m still friends with all those others nations to this day. We were stupid kids who didn’t realize we destroyed what others were working hard on. So I apologize. I hope that you all realize that all we have is now and that you continue to enjoy this game for whatever reason you brings you joy.

Regards,
Laharao

Your words are appreciated, Laharao. On behalf of this region, I wish you prosperity and joy in whichever region you call home.

Hello Everyone!

Hello! Hello! After the end of one crazy school year, I am hoping to be more active on here. We have a great region but it seems to be cursed with a paralysis when it comes to regular activity and growth. :)
