> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Neurotik \* > **Running from competition, huh, Olentzero? Typical socialist.** Who says I’m running from it? Creating an entirely new region, actively recruiting, and trying to create a unified political bloc for a program within the UN and in foreign relations seems pretty competitive to me. > [@](#): > > **Care to share your ideas? Or are we just going to have to wait and see?** Well, I’ve set forth a proposed basic program on the Civil HQ site for the Socialist Democracy Federation, so head on over there and check it out. I also have an announcement in the “NationStates” forum. So nyahh. 😛 ---

I am the [Dominion of Jicktopia](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=jicktopia), and I just moved to the Sea of Cecil, and now have the 17th Largest Soda Pop Sector in the region. My country, relatively undistinguished as of yet, is slightly famous because of its burgeoning weasel population. ---

I am about to register, as soon as I can find a good name that carries the spirit of my nation that hasn’t been taken and that nation will reside in the Sea of Cecil. Now, as a potential member of the Sea of Cecil, I am concerned about the efforts towards a unified currency. What are the terms for such an idea, how much support does it have? What are the possible pros and cons for my state? ---

**Age Quod Agis** , the Mighty and Enlightened Leader of **The Holy Empire of Eternal Power** , has emerged from conference with the Gods and decreed that The Holy Empire of Eternal Power shall build its Tower of Power in The Sea of Age (which is how the inhabitants of Eternal Power refer to The Sea of Cecil). The seven foot tall warriors of Eternal Power shall bring blood and merciless suffering upon those who oppose the reign of our immortal leader! Woe be to those from the neighboring hordes who seek to defile the Word of **Age**! [Lightning strikes; earth trembles] National Flag: features the prominant colors red and black, as well as a machete, which serves as a warning to all nations who would dare to suggest that we copied the flag of Angola. National Animal: a machete-weilding shark riding on an elephant’s back, just chopping and chomping and stomping everything in its path, which serves as a warning to any nation that would dare suggest that we stole our national animal from Jack Handey. National Currency: the Severed Head. It’s a little unweildy, but our cemetaries need 1/5th less room! Also, the warning thing again. National Motto: Good times, good times. So sayeth **Age**. [attempt at evil sneer, which ends up looking unintentionally ridiculous] ---

PS - The mighty and enlightened **Age Quod Agis** is unpleased at the ridiculous sounding name of his mighty palace – **the Tower of Power**. He hereby invites all neighboring hordes, as a show of goodwill and subservience, to submit proposed names for the castle from which he shall rule. Extra credit if the name is self-mocking in a subtle manner. So sayeth **Age**. [attempts to flex muscles, but a small fart accidentally escapes] ---

So, about that currency thing again? What about proposed measures to create a sinlgle unified military for the Sea of Cecil over various smaller militaries? My membership in that region (and support/lack of of the current UN Delegate) is determined partially on these issues. I wish to know. ---

I’m at nationstates but it’s godawful slow. Plus I find myself dismissing issues more than accepting issues because the way they’re phrased doesn’t seem beneficial to my country. I started out as a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise but now I’m a Capitalizt because I passed some legislation that allows employers to fire anyone for any reason. ---
