Dusty Bottoms welcomes D'Hara to the fight. We now have an air-force that is capable of taking him out. We share the attitude of D'Hara when it comes to war and negotiations, so we're glad that we are not negotiating for anything.
-
Even Newer Brasil has now built an air-force that rivals that of Apache PMC. In fact, we have executed an immense triumph over his air-craft. We look forward to beating his air-force down to a tolerable level, and destroying his infrastructure all the way. Many thanks to those who made our air-force possible. Without the generous donations of several nations here in Orbis, our opponent would be in beige right now, and not getting the beating he deserves.

With more allies such as Fox Fire joining the fray, Even Newer Brasil has redoubled it's war effort to put an end to Apache PMC's activities. Thanks to multiple benefactors, Dusty Bottoms was able to construct several aircraft to help combat this hooligan. In an official press release, Dust Bottoms said:
Our sympathy goes to the families of those who lost their lives both here in Even Newer Brasil, and abroad in DHara, Demspear, and Foxburo, both military and civilian. We owe it to those fallen heroes to continue this war so that this yahoo cannot continue on this terrorizing and violent rampage. We would like to express our gratitude towards our allies for their help, both financially and militarily.

*Shrugs*
Apparently he didn't like my embargo.
I wonder what he'll do with Tenages (who also embargoed him).
-
See if you can recruit at top of this hour. Wonder if the servers being down last night threw a clock off.
Just tried it, and it still doesn't work.
-
Huzzah! An ally in the war on idiocy!
Seriously though, he was starting to struggle with me, what made him think he could take you on? -
I am experiencing a similar problem, except I can't buy aircraft.
-
Oh, I'm guessing you'll win. Some dastardly villian seems to have sent spies against him.
A villain sounds about right
Kick his ass Dusty!
I certainly intend to do so.
Where do I sign up for the pain train?
At ass-kicking junction, just a quarter-mile past foot-in-ass station.
May for the forces of virtuousness prevail.
That's what I'm (and the rest of you) here for. Some of the D'Haran Empire is helping me out with their militaries as we speak.
Destroy him lad
I think destroying him would be too kind.
-
Many thanks good sir. The aluminum is critical to our success. With this, maybe we'll be able to slow him down, or even actually win this war.
-
Forced recruitment is grounds for an ass kicking. And I just so happen to be in the mood. How can I help?
For now, I'm extremely low on aluminum, and I need to build 9 aircraft in a few hours, so 27 aluminum would be a big help. Other than that, embargoing is all we ask at this time. Thank you.

Thanks to the intel and gift from Fox Fire, we now have an air-force being built. We are beating him on the ground, but he remains dominant in the air. However, we will not let this daunt us. It is our hope that we will be able to rally his other victims so that we can successfully teach him a lesson about his poor attempts at diplomacy. Dusty Bottoms expresses his gratitude towards all those who have offered their sympathy and/or help. We will be keeping everybody apprised of the war as it rages on.

At 12:30 p.m., Michael Steck (https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=8111) declared war on Even Newer Brasil, demanding that the leader, Dusty Bottoms, leave his alliance with five members and join him if peace was desired. In response, Dusty Bottoms diplomatically told him to go !@#$ himself. We are not protected by a larger alliance, and we can not raise a military to combat this menace in time. We ask that other nations embargo this savage for his brutish actions, and help teach him a lesson. It may be too late for us, but we would like to prevent this ruffian from doing this to other nations in the future.
Signed,
Dusty Bottoms of Even Newer Brasil

Welcome to Orbis, I echo the sentiment of those who have commented before me. Best of luck.
The United States of Terra wishes the United Nations luck!
Good luck,
Best of luck.
Best of luck
I believe in your Dusty Bottoms.
Welcome to the world.
Thank you to all of you for the warm welcome as well.
Where are Ned and Lucky?
Lucky was shot (again) and is in the hospital. (of course, he doesn't have insurance, so any donations to the "Lucky Day hospital bill charity" will be greatly appreciated)
Ned finally found the love of his life, and married the girl of his dreams (the love of his life =/= the girl of his dreams). The two share a gorgeous alley behind a Walmart together. They've done wonders with the place too. It was really run down when they got it, but they've probably doubled the value on it. (What did you expect? We were broke movie actors who refused to be payed for saving a town. At least one of us was bound to end up in poverty)

Awesome, your charter looks great.
Welcome to Orbis, I hope your stay here is fruitful.

o/ UN
Thank you for the warm welcome everybody. I look forward to getting to know each of you.
Congratulations on the DoE! Have you looked into a flag yet? Or perhaps an IRC channel so we can chat with you?
We do have an IRC channel (I'm just not in it all the time)
. I'm mostly focusing on getting our forums ready for use and helping out the new members of the UN. -
Hello, my name is Dusty Bottoms, President of the UN. I thought we'd make ourselves known even though we're just starting. We don't have an established government yet, but the few members we do have decided on a constitution. We aim to alleviate need wherever we see it and correct injustices throughout Orbis. Here is our Constitution:
Statement of Beliefs: These United Nations stand for justice, helping the helpless, defending the defenseless, educating the unlearned, and aiding those in need. We recognize that Orbis is not a perfect world, and likely never will be. However, that won’t stop us from making it a better, safer, and more secure place.
President: The President’s responsibilities are to enforce the laws the Assembly passes as well as represent the UN abroad. The President can hold Assembly rights, but is not allowed to hold any other government positions. He/she is not authorized to act in any way that isn’t sanctioned by the assembly. In the event of an attack on the United Nations (whether an individual or the entirety of the alliance) the President has the authority to respond to the attacks in whatever way he/she sees fit without approval from the assembly. The President appoints the Vice-President, the Security Council, and the Minister of Defense, Minister of Interior Affairs/Finance, and Minister of Foreign Affairs (pending the Assembly’s confirmation). The President holds his/her post in perpetuity, unless the Assembly holds a vote of no-confidence with a 3/4 “no confident†vote. If the president refuses to yield his/her post, the members of the UN are permitted to use their militaries in an attempt to forcibly remove him/her.
Vice-President: The Vice-President is appointed by the President, and is confirmed by the Assembly with a 51% vote. The Vice-President does not vote unless the Assembly is at a deadlock while attempting to pass a resolution, then the Vice-President vote is allowed to vote (excluding confirmation of himself/herself) In the event that the President is inactive, unavailable, or otherwise incapacitated, the Vice-President assumes the President’s role and responsibilities until either a) the President returns or b ) the Assembly elects a new President.
Security Council: If both the President and Vice-President are inactive, unavailable, or otherwise incapacitated, the Security Council has the authority to act on their behalf until either a) they return or b ) the Assembly elects a new President. Members of the Security Council consist of the Minister of Defense, Minister of Interior/Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and any other nations the President appoints and the Assembly confirms. The Security Council is appointed by the President and require confirmation from the Assembly with a 51% vote.
Ministers: The MoD, MoI/F, and MoFA appointed by the president and require confirmation from the Assembly. They shall receive a stipend to be set by the Assembly. All have the power to hire assistants without confirmation from the Assembly. They are not allowed to be Assembly members.
MoD: The MoD aids the President in areas regarding defense and militarization. He/she organizes the alliance’s militaries and handles the specifics on the battlefield in times of war.
MoI/F: The MoI/F aids the President by ensuring that the alliance grows at peak efficiency. He/she organizes aid for the needy within the alliance.
MoFA: The MoFA aids the President by also representing the alliance abroad. He/she serves as ambassador to other alliances and nations and is responsible for alerting the President to the needs/wants/demands of those that exist outside of the UN.
Assembly: The assembly is comprised of members of the United Nations who have done the following (at a minimum): a) been members for at least two weeks and b ) completed a training exercise comprising of a test on the constitution of the UN, game mechanics, and global politics (to ensure that the Assembly is educated enough to make informed decisions). The assembly has the power to pass resolutions that will be carried out by the President. A simple majority is required for domestic issues, a 2/3 majority is required for forming/revoking treaties (and other foreign affairs), and a 75% vote is required to declare war. A 75% vote is also required to remove the President from office. The assembly shall have the power to modify the Constitution with a 2/3 vote in favor of the amendment. 2/3 of the Assembly is required to vote in order for a resolution to pass. If the assembly fails to make a quorum 5 successive times, the rest of the assembly may pass resolutions that strip the inactive members of their status in the assembly. A minimum of 10 Assembly members are required to hold a vote. There is no maximum number of Assembly members.
I apologize for this massive wall of text.

Thanks. I'll take it.

I support the idea in theory, but I want to see numbers before it is implemented.

If a function such as this were to be added, I would rather see it happen with a fixed variable. In other words, say you can only adjust the tax rate by 5% higher or lower for some nations.
I can get behind this. I would hope for something closer to 15-20% or so, since I think that will still quell most concerns.
-
The rule it would be circumventing is the cheating rule of funneling money and resources from inactive nations who do not partake in the game. Your suggestion is asking for a method to siphon money off those inactives, where as it would be cheating if they joined and gave all their money/resources to the alliance, then went inactive.
So you are literally suggesting Sheepy code something that allows you to cheat by the current standard in place.
I see the problem now, but doesn't this still happen anyway? I suppose they don't put the tax rate at 100%, but don't alliances still keep inactives for a while and milk them for their resources?
