We thank our DSA comrades most sincerely for their congratulations, and pledge to work for the continued development of friendly and equitable relations with our great comrades:)
Comrades,
I deeply appreciate all who voted for me. For those who ranked me lowly, I will prove to you that I will make the region better in my short time as Senator. My goal of making TLA a more inclusive and fun region starts today!
Best wishes,
Comrade Half

Keep those endorsements coming comrades! I'm eager to get started working for you all once again!
Once we've got that issue out of the way, I'll be announcing my own and Kavagrad's picks for Justice, and then appointing a number of Ministers. So stay tuned for relevant info on both.
If you have further suggestions on who should be a Justice, or if you would like to put your own name forward, telegram me and I'll put you in for consideration (we've got two for sure, and are considering possible members for the third).
South Miruva and Kavagrad
I would like to thank those who have had the confidence in me to be a Senator and voted for me. I will, in my time as Senator, strive to make the TLA a better place for all!
Halfblakistan, South Miruva, Kavagrad, and Communistico
Remember to unendorse Miruva and endorse myself in the next few hours:)
South Miruva and Hecknamistan
Almost forgot. For having honorably and lawfully served their full term as Secretary of The Leftist Assembly I present this medal to comrade 
South Miruva. Thank you for all you have done for the region during your term as Secretary.

Comrade Quotes
Down with this fraud! Down with the liars who are talking of freedom and equality for all, while there is an oppressed sex, while there are oppressor classes, while there is private ownership of capital, of shares, while there are the well-fed with their surplus of bread who keep the hungry in bondage. Not freedom for all, not equality for all, but a fight against the oppressors and exploiters, the abolition of every possibility of oppression and exploitation-that is our slogan!
Freedom and equality for the oppressed sex!
- V. Lenin, Soviet Power and the Status of Women, 1919
Hello Comrades,
Welcome to issue Eight of the Red Star! I am proud to announce the new edition with the new General Assembly, as per tradition of the Red Star.
It is now post election season, and I do welcome our new General Assembly! Congratulations to all those elected, and a good show to all those who did not make it. This election marked the highest number of candidates running for Senator. I hope in future elections that we’ll break the record for most Secretary and Prime Minister tickets as well as break our last record on Senator tickets.
In world happenings, in West Virginia there has been a teachers strike. Public schools have been closed for over a week. The strike has ended on the 7th with a victory for the public workers, who won all five of their demands.
In Australia, the CFMEU, the union representing the building and construction, forestry and furnishing products and mining and energy industries has announced a historic merge with two other unions, the MUA, the Maritime Union of Australia, and the TCFUA, the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia. They will be merging together by the 27th of March. This new super union, named the CFMMEU, or the Construction Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union will be comprised of 140 000 workers, or one of the largest in Australia. The CFMEU is notorious for being a militant union. The CFMEU has a strong history with the Communist Party of Australia, with the president of the CPA being a union organiser in the CFMEU.
In my local politics, I have been voted in as branch secretary as well as youth representative of my local branch of the Communist Party of Australia. All very exciting, and I hope I can serve the proletarian movement both online and in my local life.
Less wholesome news is coming from India, with the far right BJP toppling a statue of Lenin. The BJP has wrestled power from the Communist Party of India Marxist. Sitram Yechury, the leader of the communist party has announced their displeasure for “BJP's fascistic trait has been well displayed at Tripura's Belonia where they dismantled Lenin's statue.”
In China, the Communist Party of China has voted to change their Constitution to abolish term limits. This has sparked much debate on the left over many different topics, the ever raging debate on whether China is actually socialist, is this a step returning to Maoism? What does the abolition of term limits mean for the CPC, and subsequently, the People’s Republic? Is this even a big deal? As many countries like New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the like don’t have term limits. More will be illuminated in time.
Stephen Hawking died on the 14th of March, the same day was the 135th anniversary of Karl Marx’s death. Hawking, alongside his vast contributions to physics and cosmology, also had a long history of being anti-war, pro-universal healthcare and many other things. Despite some of his personal flaws, he was paragon for people with disabilities. He proved that all life is valuable and that every human being has something to offer humanity.
Karl Marx who alongside Friedrich Engels wrote the theoretical basis of Marxism. Marx is often thought of as one of the most influential thinkers of humankind, and he definitely is in regards to sociology. Marx’s critique of the capitalism remains today as one of the most stunning and concrete analyses of such a system. Marx would never finish his critique in Capital. Despite this, Engels managed to put together his notes for volumes 2 and 3 to publish them posthumously.
We remember these men. Rest in power.
March is Women’s history month, so with that I will be starting a 2 part series for this month celebrating some of the many achievements by women in the socialist cause. Feminism is a natural and integral part of all socialism.
Finally, university is in full swing for me, so from now on, my contributions will be diminishing while I focus on my studies (5 assignments don’t finish themselves!). So for the Red Star to continue publishing, it will require more input from the region as a whole. If any of you have any submissions for the Red Star, be it a small submission or your very own full length article, please send them to me here.
Unity in Diversity,
- Veg,
Editor of The Red Star
Comrade The final horseman has graced us with some fantastic posters!
Thank you to Comrade The final horseman for these fantastic posters.
And thank you to our female Comrades!
Reflections on his term in government by Comrade Kavagrad
The March elections have come, and, as every Minister will at the end of a term, I face the possibility of not retaining my position post-election. As a non-Senator, I will have to be approved for my post by a vote in the GA, and I could be rejected there, which would spell an end to my time as Minister of Recruitment.
However, the conclusion of my current term is not a time for anxiety over what comes next, but rather to look back upon the last 10 weeks, and review the progress that TLA has made in recruitment with pride, as well as explaining my thought processes on the subject, and explaining to newer members how I came to hold this post in the first place.
The Bit Where I Talk About Myself
Newer members and non-members of our region are unlikely to know that my time in this region has not been long, relative to many others that have, hold or are running for elected offices. I joined this region in November 2017, a month before the last election cycle. I have been on NS intermittently since 2012, and have found myself at the top of several Leftist regions during my time. However, the issues that I saw in these regions often came from the same root cause: there simply weren’t enough active members in these regions. Upon entering TLA, I had already resolved to ensure that wherever I ended up did not go the same way. At the December elections, my manifesto centred heavily on measures designed to improve recruitment and engagement. One of these policies was the creation of a Minister of Recruitment.
I was elected as a Senator (4th out of 6 in that race, I believe), and quickly proceeded to TG our Secretary, South Miruva (who I cannot give enough praise to when it comes to his term, by the way), imploring him to create the post that I thought should be created. I will be honest, I never expected to be offered the role myself, but I had very little hesitation in accepting the post. Be the change you want to see, and all that. I honestly had no idea whether I could actually reverse what had been a trend of negative growth up until that point, but I felt that somebody had to try, and it might as well be the guy that ran on the recruitment platform.
The Statistics
I have been blown away just looking at some of the recruitment statistics I’ve collected in my time as MoR:
In this term, our total population has increased by over 50%, and our WA population has jumped by over 20.
At the start of this term, we were the 7th largest Leftist region on NS, and we have since jumped above CTSN and TRTHNBB, into 5th place.
We have sent over 7000 Recruitment Telegrams since January 2018. That equates to over 350 hours, or 2 weeks, of continuous recruitment efforts. This also means that recruitment efforts average approximately 6 hours per day.
Since November 2017, we have gained over 120 new members that remain with us to this day. Without them, our numbers would have halved since January, from 115 at the beginning of January, to just 55 now.
This also means that over 2/3 of our current membership have arrived since November 2017.
Going Forward
Should I retain my post, I will be more dedicated than ever when it comes to recruitment. I have ideas to continue to improve our recruitment process, by use of both the MoR and MoFA. I intend to make changes to the existing recruitment telegram in order to make the region more enticing to potential comrades. I will also be self-imposing a target of 2000 recruitment telegrams sent every month, with a public explanation should I fail to hit said target. Finally, I will try to work with the next Minister of Foreign Affairs to offer founderless Leftist regions the opportunity to merge into TLA, instead of having their communities shattered by raiders and imperialist forces.
I hope this article has provided a valuable insight into not only our recruitment efforts at present, but also planned recruitment efforts in the future.

A short article talking about our imperfections, and why self reflection is so important by comrade Vegemiteisgross
It’s natural to make mistakes. It’s also natural to not know the answer to everything.
Self criticism is the reflection of your past and current actions, and reflecting on the effects of these actions. It is a way of growing and learning, to see the failures in yourself and fix them. It is done not only on the individual level, but also on more collective levels too. Without justly criticising your own actions, one cannot truly grow, as they cannot see the effects of their own actions.
Self criticism should not be done only as a reactionary policy, while reaction is oven the cause of the need to self criticise, indeed, it is the cause most of the time in my experience, self criticism should be done regardless. In the interests of developing a scientific understanding of socialism, you must analyse your actions and deeds. I do not publish these articles on the fly, waiting for a reaction to a mistake, I will draft, redraft, read and reread my articles many times over before publishing, to ensure that these articles are of sufficient quality.
Similarly in the event of making a mistake, the most important things are thusly: You must recognise that you have made a mistake, you must inform the people that your mistake affects, that you have made a mistake, you must then change.
As an example, I have written in my Introduction to the Labour Theory of Value article that the labour theory of value only affects capitalist production. This is an untrue statement. Labour will always create value. The way the labour theory of value works, in its current form is relevant to capitalist production, but perhaps a socialist society would realise value differently. Either way, labour will always create value.
It’s important to note that self criticism is not a temporary tool to be used and then forgotten, it is a permanent and powerful tool to be used as often as feasibly possible. If it is not used regularly, it is too easy to grow shrivelled and conceited, failing to realise your own faults, or the faults in your organisation.
But it is not just any sort of self criticism that is needed. There needs to be a level of self criticism which will raise the consciousness of the working class, to really actualise the working class movement in their quest for superiority over the oppressor class. Why I mention my Introduction to the Labour Theory of Value article is specifically because such an article can be used to raise the consciousness of the oppressed, so they realise how capitalist production affects them and the logical conclusion of capitalist production. Self criticism is not to be used as a way to berate yourself. It is a tool to strengthen your analysis.
It is only human to make mistakes. What truly must be done to advance is to recognise them and grow.

An awards ceremony by The final horseman
This month I awarded three medals to comrades within our region. Two were the "Red Star Medal" awarded to both Vegemiteisgross and Libertasnia for their incredible contributions to the region's literary culture via their work on our regional newspaper The Red Star.
The third medal was awarded to South Miruva for the honorable and lawful completion of their term as Secretary of the Assembly.
Part one of the two part series On Women’s History Month.
Angela Davis is a prominent political activist, professor and author.
She was born in 1944. Growing up as a child she faced the harshness of American racism, she is quoted saying, “I grew up in Burmingham, Alabama. Some very very good friends of mine were killed by bombs. Bombs that were planted by racists. I remember from the time, I was very small. I remember the sound of bombs exploding across the street. I remember our house shaking. I remember my father having to have guns on his disposal at all times because at any moment, we might expect to be attacked.” (Davis, A. 2011)
Davis would become an integral part in both the Communist Party USA as well as the Black Panther Party. She was the leader of the CPUSA, and had very close relations to the BPP through the Civil Rights movement.
Davis has continued to be highly influential, giving a range of speeches, pamphlets, books and interviews on many diverse subjects including, but not exhausting:
Black Liberation
The Civil Rights movement
Class Relations
Veganism/Animal Liberation
Communism
Feminism
Prisons, including the Prison Industrial Complex
The USSR, GDR and Yugoslavia
Davis continues to be a highly influential academic, releasing incredible texts such as Women, Race & Class and Women, Culture and Politics.
Davis was a prominent leader in the Civil Rights movement, she also co founded the organisation Critical Resistance, which aims to bring down the prison industrial complex, Davis herself spent eighteen months in prison after being falsely accused of murder, among other false charges. She was freed from prison after the court found her not guilty. Davis has recently broken her retirement and has been made an honourary chairwoman and featured speaker at the Women’s March on Washington after President Trump’s inauguration. She has also been making speeches at prominent universities.
Throughout her life she has faced the pressures of racism, sexism and classism. She has seen the rise and fall of many prominent movements, and yet these movements live on through her.
I can highly recommend the Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975. It is a very influential documentary. 
It is available on youtube for free here.
I shall finish this article with two fantastic quotes by Davis:
“Racism, in the first place, is a weapon used by the wealthy to increase the profits they bring in by paying Black workers less for their work.” - Davis.
“Feminism involves so much more than gender equality & it involves much more than gender. Feminism must involve consciousness of capitalism.” - Davis

I have begun closure of embassies that do not presently meet the requirements of our Embassy Policy. As I flagged during the election, we will be discussing possible changes to this policy sometime this term, so if you have ideas, please begin thinking about presenting them, non-GA members will be given the opportunity to make suggestions for changes and improvements as well.
I am at a loss to see how either the Federation of Anarchist Communes or North Korea do not meet embassy requirements? can you clarify please?
Also in any case it was my impression that out of convention and friendship all regions in the NSLeft Solidarity Pact would share embassies to allow us all to converse with fellow NSleft comrades.
Edit: if it has anything to do with the number of WA member nations, I think it should be taken into consideration that some comrades from either region are involved in leftist raiding/defending activities so their WA nation does not reside in their home region.
Both regions in question fall below the minimum count of WA members at this time. As I said, we will be discussing possible changes to this rule in future so it may only be a temporary arrangement. A copy of our Embassy Policy is pinned to the WFE of you wish to examine the requirements yourself.
Rest assured, it is not out of any specific diplomatic objection of ours.
Sorry I took so long to Make good on my promise guys. Don't wish to delay any further so I'll proceed to get into explaining why I'm leaving NS and TLA.
Beforehand I should clarify for those new to the region not familiar with who I am my involvement with this community. I've been with this community for roughly 4 years now throughout It's history in TCR, DSU and in It's current state. While I don't like the notion of big man history I think it'd be accurate to say that this community probably would have had a tougher time surviving if I hadn't been involved in the past given that I was accidentally the catalyst of DSU and the major proponent of the Four founders to suggest reunification. I've served this community in various forms and have had my share of successes and mistakes, I loved this community for it's openness and freedom of thought, something I rarely saw in other left wing regions generally.
The reason I'm going over all that is because now my opinions on this community have changed drastically. I feel completely alienated and alone in my thoughts and while that would be fine on it's own, my experiences with backlash to my beliefs that go against popular narrative has dissuaded me from discussing my opinions more often than not. Now It's completely possible that all of my beliefs that are unpopular are wrong but that's neither here nor there. The bigger issue at hand is that I don't see myself being an isolated case. I'm fairly influential and involved in this community and I'm rather wary of discussing my beliefs, if nothing else this should call into question whether or not those with significantly less clout are in a similar position with no form of power to change that.
I don't have a real practical way to change this and even if I could I don't have the right to dictate how this community handles itself. I can only suggest what would be a good course of action. As it stands I believe that TLA's efforts at inclusiveness are actively harming discussion in this community and that there are long term repercussions to a lack of diversity in the community's beliefs. I think we need to be more open about what kind of discussion is allowed and let things be a bit less organised in the discord. There's an almost silly amount of red tape and rules in place making things needlessly complicated as well, I'd probably cut out about 40% of all our laws and rules honestly but regardless that's besides the point so I'm just gonna close off here.
I genuinely apologize if anything I said here bothers you. I'm simply trying to be honest with you all about this and hopefully things can improve form there. or maybe I'm more of a virus hurting this community with Toxic ideas, I'm not victimizing myself here it's totally possible that I could be in the wrong I'm not gonna pretend like I have all the answers and you should all follow what I say. I only hope that in some form what I said here helps the community overall whether towards my vision or against it. I love this community and I hate that I feel the need to do this. But I hope that at least somebody will see where I'm coming form and try to understand my perspective.
With all that said there will be a follow up post in a minute with a few opinions that my position in the community never allowed me to say. Hopefully that will give you a bit more insight into my vision for this community and whether or not it's one you all think is worth considering.

Comrades! It is my pleasure to announce my Ministerial appointments for this, the 9th General Assembly.
Minister of Culture:
Llorens
Llorens will be in charge of organising and coordinating the planned Culture Competitions. His proven record of achievement will make these a radical success!
Minister of Media:
Vegemiteisgross
Under Comrade Veg's fine stewardship, The Red Star will be more heavily involved in government, I am hoping to feature regular updates on GA matters and issues, including a special NS Happenings section. With the GA using the Red Star to inform, and the public using it to debate, the paper will become an even more impressive publication!
Minister of Recruitment:
Kavagrad
Self-explanatory, Comrade Kavagrad will retain his ministerial post in order to continue his magnificent work in this area, as well as help to bolster community integration and regional participation.
Minister of Foreign Affairs/World Assembly Affairs:
Halfblakistan
As a comrade with a long history of involvement in this fine community, Senator Half is a great friend and confidante of mine, with proven expertise and reliability. He is an inspired choice in this area and I know he will continue the contributions he is making, and bring a renewed vigour and enthusiasm to this area of regional life.
An update on Justices. I have two of three confirmed Justice nominees, so if you feel like you want a role in ensuring the laws and Constitution of our region are upheld, then please telegram me and I will add you to the list of candidates to consider. You have nothing to lose by suggesting it!
I will inform you as soon as we have three confirmed nominees, congratulations to all appointed Ministers. Long live TLA!!

Follow Up post detailing my beliefs I didn't speak on before:
Joining the NSLeft was a mistake:
Just gonna get this one out of the way first. Once upon a time I was very much in favour of NSleft and saw it as a a sign of our acceptance by the greater leftist community. But I feel like that was a very misguided view of it. We haven't really gained anything from this alliance outside of one Bot on Discord and what is pretty honestly a mediocre and largely dead offsite forums that feel more like a pet project of a 20 something in college than a place for offsite activities. members from other communities have routinely involved themselves in our politics where they really had no business and TI largely dominates the entire group. It feels significantly less like an alliance of equals and more like TRF's sphere of influence. I think we'd be better off seeking our own alliance that strives to be more equal than NSleft with regions that closer fits our ideals rather than what boils down to a group of armchair revolutionaries sitting around doing nothing.
The Discord is a good idea that's become incredibly bad due to a hive like mentality:
Despite my general detest of Discord as a program the actual chatroom for TLA isn't bad at all. Trouble is the community there feels very samey and Discussion is rather dull. People often parrot each-other and post really low effort memes that make me wonder if the "Left can't meme" joke is actually kinda real. I think the TLA Discord has room to be a pillar of the community but as it stands I don't see it being something that's gonna invigorate the community and draw interest.
We should all try and relax a bit more and stop taking this game so seriously:
I like the government game play we've built here but I think we need to all relax and stop making a big deal out of every little law and word in the constitutions. we're not congressmen we're a bunch of teenagers and college students that vaguely agree on the political beliefs. our use of justices to determine law is absolutely stupid given that the three people who wrote the constitution all are still around to tell you what they meant with each part, and accommodations should be made for the sake of practicality. it's silly that because of our laws we had to keep somebody on the ballot who withdrew and left the community entirely. We're not revolutionaries and we're not lawmakers so just chill out and let common sense reign once in awhile.
Anyway that's all I'm gonna bother with here since I'm not one to nitpick and rant really. I'll remain in the community for a couple more days to answer any questions via telegram. Probably burned a few bridges on this point but if any of you want to keep in touch let me know and I'll work something out obviously if you all want nothing to do with me though I want be bothered too bad. I gotta get up early tomorrow so I'm off to sleep. have a good one guys.
Cedoria, Mexican communists, and Vegemiteisgross
Thank you for your kind words, Comrade Secretary.
On this note, I would ask the region,
What is a debate topic that you would like to see?
Please keep in mind, it should be a topic where both sides can be represented.
For example, our debate on Israel/Palestine was very one sided.
Here are my personal suggestions, one of them will be used if no better alternatives are given:
Statism v Anarchism
The Gun Debate: Should there a right to bear arms?
Revolution: Should we vote or revolt?
The topic of our next debate will be announced when the next Red Star is published. (2 weeks time.) I would really love to hear the region's input and suggestions on debate topics.
I suggest the first or third one of those. I just finished cleaning out the blood from the curtains after our last gun laws debate (yes, they weren't always that shade of red:)
North Korea currently has 8 active WA nations, 5 in region and 3 in the KPA but many more players, as some hold dual citizenship in other regions.
I find this act extremely rude. To debase left unity and regional ties for the sake of popularity speaks volumes to the author's politics, writing of a 10 WA minimum for a welcomed embassy. This legislation was written 180 days ago, what has made it all of a sudden relevant? I don't think NK has had more than 10 WA nations consistently in region in all its history - does that make our friendship (or politics for that matter) any less valuable than say The Communist Bloc with its 200 WA nations of liberal idiocy?
I hope comrades here have a good discussion about quality over quantity, mutual respect and left unity. An embassy isn't just a tag, it is the implication of having a regional ambassador, a quick link for contact in times of trouble or celebration.
Antifa, The MT Army and NSLeft also do not meet your embassy standards so I'm assuming they're next on the chopping block or is there a double standard there?
Revolutionary regards;
V Ming
I do hope we as a region will take into account Comrade Atealia's above criticisms and suggestions, as he has provided much food for thought for all of us. Whether we agree or not, it's a debate worth having:)
For my part, I wish to profusely thank Atealia's for his years of loyal service to this community and his own personal friendship with me. He really had no reason to trust or listen to me when we first began working together after we left TCR but our partnership played a pivotal role in building The Leftist Assembly into what it is today. I will always be thankful to have been able to get to know and work with such an inspiring and warm person who always desired nothing other than a fun, free and friendly community. He has been a wonderful pioneer and leader in this region, a brilliant mentor to many and a great friend to myself. I cannot say enough to praise him, so I'll leave it there I think, except to say that ALL of us owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude, whether we realise it or not.
Regarding the Founder, I've been aware of this planned departure for a little while and myself and Comrade Accia have come to an agreement. A replacement Founder for Comrade Atealia will be announced shortly.
What has made it all of a sudden relevant is the fact that I conducted an investigation in the last few weeks of the last term in government as Minister of Foreign Affairs and found which regions were not meeting the requirements. I held off on suggesting changes or acting at the time I completed the investigation because our region was in the process of an election.
The other three regions in question met the requirements at the time of my investigation, with the exception of NSLeft which is exempt for obvious reasons. These cancellations were also flagged both to the General Assembly and the region at large who raised no objection. We also do not have relations with The Communist Bloc, making this counter redundant.
The reason why this was not done before is a concosequence of bad implementation in the past. As MoFA in the last GA, my responsibility was to ensure that changed, and now as Secretary. It will change.
Regarding your quality versus quantity point, I expect that to be an argument that comes up in our discussions about changing it. Personally, I favour alterations of the kind you suggest.
The idea that this reflects my personal view on the regions concerned is absurd to the point of insulting, for two reasons.
1: I have never expressed, and do not feel, any animosity towards the aforementioned regions.
2: I am not the author of the region's present Embassy Policy, making it ludicrous to suggest it is a function of my preferences or prejudices.
Personally, I hope for changes that will allow a swift return to Embassies and normal business between us. I do not however, appreciate attacks of the types being made, and I would suggest that if you consider our region's friends, that you don't make such baseless assertions about your friends. The idea this is for my own personal popularity is also absurd, since I doubt there is any popularity to gain from this judgement. If I wanted to do that, I'd like to think I'd take actions that actually worked to increase my popularity. The mere fact you would suggest this as a reason when our Embassy Policy clearly outlines the reason for this judgement doesn't speak well for how friendly you consider us. I hope to change this perception, and certainly you can rest assured we will be devoting more efforts to foreign policy in the next few months.
Regardless, I hope for a swift resumption of relations as soon as anticipated changes to our Embassy Policy are effected.
Yours, in solidarity.
Cedoria.
@Atealia : Despite the disagreements we've had in the past, I'm sorry to see you go. I can't help but feel like this is partially my fault. Thank you for helping to set up this region. The people I've met here have become friends and I'm glad I found TLA. Thank you.
Still, I disagree with your fundamental arguments. Like you said, we're not a government: we're a private club of nerdy twenty-somethings and high schoolers. But, as a lrivate group, we have the right to restrict speech if it is harmful to the region as a whole. If people seem impatient, it's because racial opression has been the norm for over 500 years. Opression of LGBT people has been going on since antiquity. Ableism and misogyny have been around since the rise of cities. People like me are fed up, and we should be.
This game is fictional, but it's a reflection of reality. If we want to make a better physical world, our games be modeled on what we want to see.
And maybe this region has become too formal. It wouldn't hurt to simplify and clarify the code of laws. Still, we can't remain a club for straight white guys. If it stays that way, I'LL have to leave. One person's liberty can be another's servitude, and we have to find a balance.
Ultimately, best of luck irl.
And thank you, @Cedoria , for appointing me as MoFA. I'll telgram you soon to clarify your vision for my tenure.
Best,
Half
I never said you were the author [region]Cedoria[/nation], I never blamed you once.
"The other three regions in question met the requirements at the time of my investigation, with the exception of NSLeft which is exempt for obvious reasons. " - 
Cedoria
Also that's simply untrue about MT Army or Antifa having 10 WA nations at any given time in this region's entire existence never mind since the writing of the embassy proposal. Antifa has been locked for 4+ years with only special invites that are rarely if ever WA nations and MT Army has had no more that 4-6 players in the last 3 years.
As for the "attacks being made" imagine my annoyance to observe the breaking of embassies, rushing over to offer help, worried it's an emergency and seeing it's a popularity contest! I think I have every reason to be upset.
Furthermore instead of an apology and explanation, I see 'sorry you didn't make the cut' 'just not popular enough'.
Checking one more time before I go to sleep so I might as well respond to this insanity.
You're not particularly relevant to my leave, no one person it it's just something thats come up over time.
Misogyny and ableism have no place in what I said. They weren't relevant to what I was talking about. I've seen you do this in the past and it's frustrating. You're latching on to an idea that's not relevant to what I'm talking about and are either willfully doing so for malicious purposes or just ignorant of what I'm trying to say. Regardless of which it's obnoxious so I'd ask that you refrain from doing so.
