I'd like to know to further prioritize doing what makes me the most happy before it happens. Plus it'd help me stay focused on what's actually important.

MARINER TRENCH




What does it mean to become a Trenchian?

Becoming a Trenchian is a big step. You'll have certain privileges and rights here, and also several responsibilities to our region, which are outlined briefly below.

Rights

As a Trenchian, our Law guarantees you the right to vote in elections and referenda, participate in The MT Army Reserves, and run in elections for official positions, as well as granting you certain other legal rights.

Our Government will also take whatever steps are necessary to help you if you are in need of it, and for the preservation of your rights both in Mariner Trench and abroad, to the extent that is appropriate with your involvement in other regions.

Responsibilities

At the same time, it is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with and do your best to abide by our Laws, which are, of course, in place only so that our community can function democratically, harmoniously, and with a high level of regional security.

Overview

Known as the godfather of Anti-Nazi/Fascism military action, Viper's accomplishments over his lengthy life-span are etched into the history books.

From humble beginnings of environmental protection, to forming an elite warrior army in World War 2, eliminating the Nazi/Fascist threat from the face of the planet.

Post World War 2, Viper is known for pioneering the Mariner Trench Global Outreach Program and opening up Mariner Trench to mass immigration, to such a scale that entire nations moved their population to the deepest depths of the ocean.

Early Life


The only child of two environmental scientists, Viper spent much of his early years traveling the globe, living in remote wilderness locations. It is here that his bond and respect of nature was founded.

Viper's parents instilled all their scientific knowledge to satiate his endless curiosity about the natural world and its functionality. This provided him with a huge advantage when it came to completing his Degree in Ecological Sciences at the Mariner Trench Golden Pillar of Knowledge University.

During his studies, Viper became convinced that the true path to ascension was through a strong bond with nature. His parents encouraged him to enter politics as a way to spread his important message to the masses.

Rise in Politics


At the age of 35, Viper formed the Mariner Trench Ecological Protection Party on the 10th of November 1872, spending the next 61 years focusing on conservation of the natural world.

During this time, following the ancient Gerontocracy policy of Mariner Trench, Viper gained a position on the Council of Elders in 1922 (Age 85).

After the passing of Chief Elder Leonardo Panthera on 13 December, 1937, Viper (at age 100), now the oldest Trenchian in Mariner Trench assumed the role.

As the Nazi Party in Germany rose to power, Viper realized, in his wisdom, that this represented the ascended Azguardians 800 BC prophesied future of "extreme racist and authoritarian politics".

After over half a century of environmental focus, Viper set about campaigning to change Mariner Trench's policy of strict distant observation of land based civilization, it was time to get involved and paramount to defeat this growing evil.

The campaign was successful, on 1 September, 1939, The MT Army was born and Viper was elected to lead the mighty Warriors to a heroic victory.

After his success in defeating the Nazi/Fascist threat, Viper established the Mariner Trench Global Outreach Program, assisting the land based civilizations to defeat any remaining or newly rising Nazi/Fascist elements, provide humanitarian aid and help progress technological advancement to meet the high standards set within the Trench.

In addition; Viper championed a mass (often nation wide) immigration policy, opening up Mariner Trench to new faces, cultures and ideas to help steer the Trench to a new golden age of enlightenment and hopefully fast track humanities ascension to a higher plane of existence.

Leadership


Viper's leadership style contains many important elements based around serving of a greater cause than himself, unparalleled resolve and clarity of vision.

He leads by positive direction and builds agreement among group members towards the accomplishment of a coordinated goal. Known also for his motivational speeches and direct encouragement of others to be the best they can possibly be.

Viper always leads by example, putting his own life on the line countless times by participating on the front lines of all major military operations during World War 2.

Policies of Global Significance

  • Global National Park Establishment (1872)

  • Global Animal Welfare Agenda (1876)

  • Global Climate Change Reductions (1896)

  • Unified Anti-Nazi/Fascist Action (1939)

  • Mariner Trench Global Outreach Program.

  • Mariner Trench Re-population/Mass Immigration.

For & Against

  • For: Environmental Protection, Liberal Democracy, Anti-Nazi/Fascist UNITY

  • Against: Nazi's, Fascists, Environmental Degradation

Personal Information


Viper met his spouse (Renenutet) near the conclusion of World War II. The German born woman was captured and placed in a Nazi concentration camp for protesting against the Nazi regime. Having been liberated from the camp by Viper in 1945, she formed a special bond with the mystery leader of the deep which lead to marriage and years later, she birthed three children to Viper.

Viper shares his love for nature with his spouse and children, taking them and their family pet (a Vipertooth Dragon) on trekking, camping, sailing and scuba adventures around the globe. Other hobbies/interests include: Hurling (an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin), artistic drawing, photography of the natural world and complex music (classical in early life, melodic death metal in latter life).

For the past decade, due to his extreme age, Viper spends three hours a day locked in a special Mariner Trench medical device, known as the sarcophagus. This device is said to help regenerate his cells which are rapidly deteriorating.

Personal Trivia

  • Viper's pet is a Vipertooth Dragon (Draconis serpentes), which has been passed down within his family for several generations (rumored to be 500 years old). The Vipertooth Dragon is a species that has been extinct on the surface world since the fall of Atlantis (~800 BC), but one that survives in small numbers within a large artificial bio-dome in the Vippertooth33 sector of Mariner Trench.

  • It is widely suspected that Viper is the true face behind the masked vigilante, who since the end of World War II, has single handedly hunted down and elminated small Nazi/Fascist syndicates across the world.

  • Viper's extreme age is attributed to lucky genetics, healthy nutrition, regular exercise and miraculous medical achievements by the doctors of Mariner Trench.

  • Renenutet's birth name was Helga Bonhoeffer, but she decided to changed it to a more traditional Mariner Trench name, after becoming a citizen of Vippertooth33.

Occupation

Public policy, politician

Sarah Millard (born 12 February 1981) is a Scalizagastian politician who has served as the Prime Minister of Scalizagasti since 2016 and the leader of the Social Democratic Party of Scalizagasti since 2015. She has also served as the Member of Parliament for Bewundal East since 2012. She is also Scalizagasti's youngest Prime Minister, elected at the age of 35.

She was born in Garor City, where she attended the Oparle District High School. While a university student, she was elected president of the University of Torlonia Social Democrats. After graduating from university, she began her professional political career as a policy advisor to Bewundal mayor John Ammoth.

Millard became the second-youngest leader of the Social Democrats at 33, only behind 32 year old Max Sormann. She won the 2015 leadership race on the second ballot with 51% of the vote. As leader, she led her party to second place in the 2016 election, winning 154 seats. This was the best electoral result for the SDP in over a decade since the corruption scandals that plagued the party in the mid-2000s. The SDP was able to form a coalition government instead of the first-place Revolutionary Republican Party (who had 160 seats), which some attribute to Millard's excellent leadership and cooperative skills. In the 2020 federal election, she led the SDP to win 255 seats, one of the largest victories for a party in Scalizagasti's history and only four seats short of an absolute majority.

Ideologically, Millard has been described as a social democrat and a progressive. She supports investments into public transit, universal postsecondary education, social housing, and other similar policies.

Early Life


Sarah Millard was born on 12 February 1981 in Garor City, Torlonia. She grew up in the Oparle neighbourhood, an area of Garor City that had a mixed Torlu and Scalizagastian ethnic population. Her father worked as a high school teacher and her mother was a secretary. She went to Oparle District High School, graduating in 1999. After high school, she studied at the University of Torlonia in downtown Garor City for her degree in economics, graduating in 2003.

She moved to Bewundal, the capital of Scalizagasti, in 2004 while pursuing her master's degree at Bewundal University. After graduating in 2005 with a degree in public policy, she got a job with the municipal government and served as a policy advisor for mayor John Ammoth. Notably, she spearheaded the movement to improve and revitalize the public transportation of Bewundal to make commuting easier and reduce the emissions of the city.

Early Political Career


Millard was always involved with politics and was a supporter of the SDP from an early age. She joined the Young Social Democrats in 1997 at age 16, eventually becoming a prominent member within the youth organization.

While studying for her bachelor's in economics at the University of Torlonia, she became president of the University of Torlonia Social Democrats. She was an active community organizer and an advocate for affordable public transportation and labour rights.

Millard was a staffer for SDP MP Herbert Tenare's campaign during the 2001 SDP leadership convention, although Tenare eventually lost to Blaine Blaikie. Blaikie would later lead the SDP to victory in the 2003 election.

After getting her master's degree from Bewundal University in 2005, Millard worked in public policy with the municipality of Bewundal. She remained an advocate for labour rights and public transportation, and would serve as a key advisor during the Bewundal Transit infrastructure upgrades in 2009-2011.

For the 2012 federal election, Millard was nominated 2nd in the SDP party list for Bewundal East. For a newcomer to federal politics, this was a very high placement, especially since Bewundal East is a traditional SDP stronghold. Despite the weak perfomance of the SDP federally and the surprising second-place finish by the Greens, she managed to win her seat. She gained notoriety and popularity as the SDP critic for youth affairs after one of her parliamentary debates went viral online.

Leadership


David Keyes became leader of the SDP in 2013 following Bill Hu's resignation as leader due to a poor electoral performance. However, Keyes passed away in June 2014 in a car crash. The SDP called an emergency leadership convention for January 2015 to prepare for the upcoming election, and Millard announced her candidacy as leader. Millard won the leadership election on the second ballot with 51% of the vote.

Many credit her charisma and strong leadership skills for bringing the SDP back into the political mainstream after 2016. Some experts believed that the Greens, with their strong second-place finish in 2012, could have replaced the SDP as the dominant left-of-centre party in federal politics. As leader, she outlined the three pillars of her party platform: environmental sustainability, economic equality, and open dialogue. She was especially critical of the conservative Biyende government's austerity measures and lack of cooperation with other parties and governments.

Notable Policies

  • 2009 Bewundal Transit upgrades
    Millard was a policy advisor to the municipal government of Bewundal, and is seen as one of the architects of the 2009-2011 upgrades to Bewundal Transit. Over two years, the government invested 6 billion scaliz to retrofit buses and streetcars, build new lines, and expand the fleet to accommodate a growing population. Another 3 billion scaliz were invested in the subway system to connect the main network with the outer areas of the cities.

  • The Green Shift
    This program was created by the SDP with input from the Greens after the 2016 election. As part of the Green Shift, the government would work with provinces and cities to invest in public transportation to reduce reliance on personal automobiles; a carbon tax was implemented to incentivize consumers to make more sustainable choices; there would be a focus on building solar, hydro, and nuclear power stations to generate power; and more. The Green Shift continued in 2020 following Millard's second electoral victory.

  • Universal Postsecondary Education
    In 2017, the Millard government announced that it would seek to eliminate tuition for postsecondary education. Over the next few years, the government would invest more and more money to achieve this with a plan to reach 12 billion scaliz annually. As of 2020, the cost of tuition for university students has dramatically decreased, and with it the number of students with large student loans.

  • CAVID-19 Response
    This section taken from the article Link2020 Scalizagastian federal election on iiWiki.
    Scalizagastian health authorites were first notified of CAVID-19 on 24 February by Kigwari, where over 1000 cases were documented. On 26 February, Prime Minister Millard announced that all travel between Scalizagasti and Kigwari would be restricted. Following the advice of health officials, Millard also imposed a mandatory quarantine on all travelers entering Scalizagasti regardless of their point of departure. While some, such as NSP leader Les Erlosto, criticized these measures as being unneccesary and extreme, it was later determined that this quick action mitigated the early spread of the virus.

    The first case in Scalizagasti was reported on 14 March, which experts believe were caused by an undetected asympotmatic carrier of the virus. By 18 March, there were 27 reported cases at which point a national lockdown was imposed and all non-essential travel restricted. ScalHealth was given an addition 4 billion dollars in funding for a rigorous virus testing and contact-tracing program, which helped track the spread of the virus and prevent new cases. Containment measures were praised by international medical organizations for their effectiveness, as specific local clusters were targeted, tested, and quarantined. Hesmaron City, for example, was completely sealed off from the rest of Hesmaron following a small outbreak to prevent spread outside of the city.

    An effective government campaign saw Scalizagastian society support the pandemic relief efforts. Daily briefings from the Prime Minister and Chief Medical Officer kept citizens informed and aware of new restrictions or relief programs. Programs such as free masks, wage & rent subsidies, and SPEB (Scalizagastian Pandemic Emergency Benefit) helped slow the spread of the virus and lessen the economic damage from lockdown.

    As a result of this strong leadership and quick action, the national lockdown was removed in July after no new infections were reported for 20 days in a row. However, the strict border restrictions remained in place in order to prevent new cases from entering the country. When the election occured on 13 August, there were only 2160 cases with 45 deaths.

For & Against

  • For: Economic equality, workers' rights, environmental protection

  • Against: Austerity, privatization of public services

Personal Information


Millard married Mark Teskey on 12 November 2013. The Millards have one daughter, Laurel Millard, who was born in 2014. While her family was Auldenist growing up, Millard has said that she and her husband are not "not actively religious." Millard has one brother, Robert, who is a practicing dentist in Masfassen.

Millard is reportedly a fan of the Garor City Gators, the soccer team for the city. She said that when she was growing up in the city, she attended many of their games. Her husband, who grew up in Maldati, supports the Maldati Eagles, which Millard has jokingly referred to as a source of tension within the family.

Millard made a cameo appearance in the TV show Detective Brown on the episode which aired 2 June 2019. She is a fan of the show and "watches it every week."

The Millard family owns a dog, Jimbo, which was adopted in 2011 while the Millards were still dating.

First warning for derogatory slurs, this is not acceptable in our community.

Let's face it, I was here to spy on you. I think it was not entirely correct, however, you are good people, even seeds you hate deeply because they are extreme right. On NationStates there are exaggerated conflicts, we could take a break from this war.

Announcement

N-Day is almost upon us!

An opportunity for nations to come together and exchange nuclear weapons in a fiery Armageddon of mutually assured destruction.

To Participate

Once N-Day begins, join a Faction. Nations outside a Faction can't attack or be attacked. You can join a Faction when you're ready and leave when you're not (to stay safe).

Watch your nation automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. Use it to build Nukes and Shield.

Launch Nukes at other nations and use Shield to shoot down Nukes that are launched at you.

Details:

OVERVIEW

N-Day is an opportunity for nations to come together and exchange nuclear weapons in a fiery Armageddon of mutually assured destruction.

To Participate

  1. Once registration opens, you can create or join a Faction. Nations outside a Faction can't attack or be attacked. You can join a Faction when you're ready and leave when you're not (to stay safe).

  2. When the event begins, nations will be assigned a random Specialty and begin to accumulate Production. You will now be able to spend Production, fire nukes and deploy shields.

  3. Watch your nation automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. Use it to build Nukes and Shield.

  4. Launch Nukes at other nations and use Shield to shoot down Nukes that are launched at you.

Tactics

The simplest way to play N-Day is to join whichever Faction seems most fun and start targeting Nukes at its enemies while shooting down anything incoming. Your Faction page's icon bar shows everything you need to know, including who's targeting anyone in your Faction, and who your fellow Faction members are targeting.

Attacking: Step by Step

  1. On your Production screen, spend some of your Production to build Nukes. These go into your Stockpile.

  2. On another nation's Nuke page, click/tap the TARGET button and select the number of Nukes to use.

  3. Once Targeted, it takes 10 minutes for your Nukes to reach a READY state (3 for Intel Specialists). Note that your Targeted page is public: All nations can see who is targeting whom.

  4. When your Targeted Nukes are ready, click/tap LAUNCH.

  5. Your Nukes are now categorized as Launches for you and Incoming for your target. Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. When they do, they earn Strikes for you and inflict Radiation on the target, which reduces their rate of Production. This also earns Score for your Faction and reduces the enemy Faction's Score.

Defending: Step by Step

  1. On the Production screen, spend Production to build Shield.

  2. Find Launched Nukes to destroy. Your top priority is any Incoming Nukes launched at you. Secondarily, you may wish to target Incoming Nukes on anyone in your Faction (see your Faction's Incoming page), and also keep an eye on Targeted Nukes that may threaten you or your Faction in the near future.

  3. Click/tap DESTROY to deploy 1 Shield per Nuke.

Strategy

Strategically, it may be wise to avoid attacks on nations or Factions until you are confident of obliterating them, since this eliminates the possibility of counter-attack. Smaller-scale attacks, which damage but don't destroy an enemy, can lead to an escalating series of grudge-related nuclear exchanges.

On the other hand, targeting an enemy can be an effective warning. And it takes Nukes 10 minutes to be ready to launch, so you can't leave it too late.

Scoring

Each Nuke that reaches a target causes Radiation damage, which reduces the target's rate of Production generation and counts as a Strike for the attacker.

A Faction's Score is Strikes minus Radiation.

Duration

N-Day lasts for 24 hours, after which point, an Arms Control Agreement means that no Nukes can be launched. (In-flight nukes can still land, however.)

The "winner" is the Faction with the highest score; if, that is, nuclear war can be said to have a winner. Which we say it can. It's the Faction with the highest score.

FACTIONS

Once registration opens, Factions can be founded by a Regional Officer of any region. Any and all Regional Officers of that region can update the Faction's official text to issue instructions to Faction members.

Factions can be made open to all members, or restricted to the region's members only.

You can leave your Faction, which is a good way to stay safe if you're signing off for the night. However, you can only do this if you're not engaged with the enemy! That means:

  • You must not have any nukes targeted or launched at another nation; and

  • No nukes can be targeted or incoming on you.

Note that in practice, this can make it challenging to leave a Faction, since you may be frequently targeted.

While outside a Faction, you cannot be targeted, and do not generate any Production.

Before joining, it's worth making sure a Faction isn't currently under mass bombardment.

SPECIALTIES

Nations are randomly assigned a specialty.

Military Specialists build Nukes faster: They receive 50% more Nukes when converting Production.

Strategic Specialists build Shield faster: They receive 50% more Shield when converting Production.

Economic Specialists can accumulate more Production: Their production cap is four times larger than the other specialties.

Intel Specialists can finalize targets faster: Their targetted nukes reach READY in 3 minutes instead of 10. They have no Production advantages.

PRODUCTION
Non-WA nations automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 Production per 2 minutes, up to a maximum of 50 (200 for Econ Specialists).
WA nations automatically generate Production at a rate of 10 Production per 2 minutes, up to a maximum of 150 (600 for Econ Specialists).

Production can be spent on Nukes or Shield.

WA NATIONS
World Assembly members will accumulate Production 10x faster than non-WA members, and have their Production limits increased by 3x.
It is allowed to switch WA membership to receive this benefit for different nations, but (as per regular site rules) you are only allowed to have one nation in the WA at a time.
Keep in mind that if your Production is over the non-WA limit when you resign membership on a nation, the Production on that nation will decrease down to the limit (i.e. if you resign with 75 Production on a non-Econ nation, the Production will drop to 50).

We ask that you refrain from switching WA for N-Day purposes more than once every two minutes. You will not be punished for this, but it is against the spirit of this change to the event mechanics.

NUKES

Nukes are purchased with Production, kept in stockpile until ready, then targeted and launched at an enemy nation.

Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. While in-flight, they can be shot down by any nation using Shield. If they're not, each Nuke generates 1% of Radiation in the target and earns 1 Strike for the attacker.

SHIELD

Shield can be used to knock out Launched Nukes. You can shoot down any in-flight Nukes regardless of who they are aimed at.

Locate in-flight Nukes under Launches or Incoming, and use the DESTROY button to eliminate them at a rate of 1 Shield per Nuke.

It is possible to waste Shield if multiple nations deploy Shield simultaneously to knock out the same Nukes.

TARGETING

Target a nation by viewing their Nuke page and clicking/tapping TARGET. You may then select how many Nukes to target from your Stockpile.

It takes a short time for a Targeted Nuke to reach a READY state, after which it may be launched. This is normally 10 minutes, but Intel Specialists are faster, finalizing targets in only 3 minutes.

If not launched after 1 hour, Targeted Nukes automatically return to your Stockpile.

RADIATION

Radiation is generated in a nation when it is struck by a Nuke.

Radiation proportionately reduces a nation's Production generation rate. For example, 20% Radiation reduces Production generation by 20%.

When a nation is 100% Radiated, it is destroyed and no longer able to launch any Nukes nor use any Shield.

Radiation is irreversible.

You can leave a Faction when irradiated, but this does not affect your Faction's score.

SCORE

A Faction's score measures strikes and radiation that occurred while those nations were a member. It is unaffected by nations joining or leaving the Faction.
