I am thinking about changing my government into an dictatorship instead of an absolute monarchy. Same thing but different government.
Does the RHR story need to be rewritten too? lol
Anything's OK as long as it's realistic and not godmodding, tbh.
Nah, the main thing affected is that political maneuverings in response to the scandal led to parliament being dissolved and I can write around that.

Pretty important news post regarding the current state of Tsunter politics.
Looks a lot like the previous coalition in Takiv's parliament. New one coming in soon
Hey, I could use some opinions from TWI, just feels a bit silly asking. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with keeping my capital city named "The Capitol". I'm considering changing it because I just feel it lacks originality and will be associated with hunger games a lot lmao. I don't think the latter is necessarily bad, because I kind of want to portray that aesthetic and I like the authoritative sound of "The Capitol", but yeah, just fishing for some opinions. Here are my 2 options I'm considering right now:
Basically, keeping the status quo as:
Capital City Name: The Capitol
Legislature: The Lansrat
Cabinet: Presidential Synod
or
Capital City Name: Jacinto (potentially something else, haven't decided)
Legislature: The Capitol
Cabinet: Presidential Lansrat
The only thing is that if I change it, I would have to change up some of my history tbh. I also just suck with naming and overthink it lol.

The A4 Korabel was a Yektosk fourth-generation armored defense unit designed by the Yektov National Army and named after General Korabel. It was produced from 1971 to 2002, however following the development of new vehicles the Korabel fell out of the role of the standard Yektosk army vehicle in favor of more modern designs.
-WIP-
Currently a WIP. Hope i can shape it into something nice :), also any military experts please give me help. I’m using the T18 Boarhound as a basis for this vehicle.
I am not familiar with the hunger games, but The Capitol sounds indeed too much like any other capitol or capital; unless the city was constructed to harbour the country's parliament, it is likely that it should be named after a person or some geographical feature. Sārruc's meaning has not officially been determined but -rruc in Nhoor generally means 'castle' or 'fortress'.
To be noted that the parliament of Nhoor is often referred to as 'Paliament' (parlament in Nhoor) and although it is informally called 'The Floor' (Conast in Nhoor), there is no official name for the executive power of Nhoor. Nhoor also has no official designation of the executive power, which is simply called the Council of Ministers (in its Nhoor equivalent).
To change anything quickly: copy the text of your factbook into a notepad, replace the words you want to replace by their new names, and upload your corrected text into your NS factbook.
Hey, thanks so much for the input! I really appreciate that. It was more of a historical change I will have to make. In the far past, The Capitol started out as a city-state. Later, it was led by a King Amestrris, who conquered the surrounding city-states under one banner, Amestrris, named after the king. Basically, keeping it named "The Capitol" was in the spirit of sounding centralized and authoritative. But I really agree with everything you're saying, and I just have this lame feeling about keeping it "The Capitol" lol. I just really like my legislature being called the Lansrat, and I want to remain unicameral, but The Capitol seems far more appropriate for a legislature name.
In terms of this historical problems, I'm thinking I could "have my cake and eat it too" lol. I could say that the city-state of The Capitol was established and eventually led by King Amestrris, who went on to conquer all other city-states around it. The nation was then called Amestrris, after the king, and The Capitol remained the seat of the government and the capital city. However, we do already have a Second Civil War that occurs right after (and it catalyzed by) the Imperial War.
I'm thinking that after the defeat of the authoritarian government by the rebels after the Second Civil War, The Capitol was renamed to Jacinto to diminish its authoritative, centralized theme. However, the new democratic legislature formed was named The Capitol, to preserve history and keep its function. Kind of reflects a shift towards democracy and decentralization, while retaining the name "The Capitol" for the legislature maintains continuity and historical significance.

First News Report In Months
Does TWI have something similar to the Bermuda Triangle in term of reputation? Like an area of water that became the capital of sunk and lost ship
It can be a point of interest for dispatches
It’s called the Balniki EEZ
TWI is on the opposite side of the Bermuda Triangle. If you've ever seen Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the method they use to get into Davy Jones' locker is how you get to TWI from inside the Bermuda triangle
I kind of wish there was a place to post government memorandums/ policy briefs. The twitter thread requires posts to be short and punchy whilst i like to make my news posts to be comprehensive and both require a degree of editorialising and sensationalism but there's nowhere for posts (maybe three or four paragraphs at most) which are literally just the government reported on an emerging situation or laying out its policy options or explaining what policies its implementing are.
I'd rather not make such posts in dispatches where they are likely to be forgotten. I recognise that is a pretty niche problem so i doubt there will be much support or interest in setting up a new dedicated thread.
The obvious solution to me would be to put these posts in the news thread but that runs into all sorts of problems around what knowledge is ICly available to the public and what is being past around internally within a government.
I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions on this, although like i said, i suspect this is something that most people aren't that bothered by.
Style the post as a memorandum or white paper, add an IC "secret" marking to it, put an OOC note at the bottom saying that it's not public, and post it in news. In the "proper" RP threads, I've done similar things -- private meetings, internal email, secure military transmissions -- and I've seen other people do that as well.
So long as it's clear that the information isn't public, I think people will be fine with it.
But I can also see where a government post would also be helpful, I mean we have one for common citizens, why not one for government dispatches?
This would be my preference but i don't know how much a thread like that would be used.
Probably as much as the citizen one, but it would allow unofficial responses to events when you don’t have time to write a full news story. If you haven’t yet put it
Discord brainstorm and see how the response is.
Citizen one doesn't get used all that much either
I think the difference is the citizens thread generally had quite high-quality posts on it, whereas the sort of posts i'm imagining would be a few paragraphs at most.
Wishing a happy Europe Day and a pleasant ascension to those concerned ^_^
