The Reunification of Sheepsta begins.

[Sheep]

occ: I would like the passwords to North and South Sheepsta. The three nations will be considered as Unified Sheepsta with the NS versions as provinces.

Since the court verdict and the favourable vote to the reuinfication of the Sheepstan people the, citizens of Sheepsta with much celebration have begun the ardous jouirney of true reuinfication.

The first act was to constituite an interim government over all of Sheepsta where government representatives from the three provinces are to be sent. They will be responsibe for designing the new national flag. Setting up the new constintuion and eliminating the diffrences that have occured from 5 years of occupation.

The capital of what will soon be known as Unified Sheepsta has been placed on the town of Chopsu, that lies on the border of all three provinces. The area around the new capital will be henceforward known as the Sheepstan Capital Territory or the SCT.

++++UPDATE++++++

The interim government of Sheepsta has annopunced the formation of the Unified constiution. Here is a summary


FREEDOMS

Their revenue is rates and froim the provincial governments. Provincial governments will be concenred with the province only and gather thier income from a 5% Provinical Income Tax and the federal government. The federak government will be concerned with the entire nation, overseas affairs and national defence. Their income is from tariffs, taxes and the like.

Defence

How can you have different nations, under different laws, but have them as a Unified Sheepsta? The people voted to have those nations destroyed, and for you to be leader of all of Sheepsta. Why would you want them? If you are going to keep them as seperate nations, you are going against what the people voted, if you wish to unite them, then you cannot keep the seperate nations alive. North and South Sheepsta were set up by Archaic, and are both heavily capitalist (Corporate Bordello IIRC) and so bear no resemblance to Sheepsta. If you want colonies (as everyone seems to ATM, what did I start ) then start them up, but the people voted to unify Sheepsta, not to keep it broken up but under your control.

The new flag

The new Unified flag flies a tri colour to show the three provinces of Sheepsta. The colours signify, green, for the forrests abnd jungles of Sheepsta, Red for the bloody past of Sheepsta and blue to signify the water surrounding the island.

The yellow circle in the middle with a S, signifies the new SCT, like a sun rising the new Sheepstan state from the ashes of war centered around the new capital of Chopsu. The S stands for Sheepsta

[Sheep]

occ: No Drouge yopu don;t get me. The fact is that the provinces in the Unfied Sheepsta shall be just rovinces. In time they shall grow closer together. However this like in RL does take time.

'want to be part of a Unified Sheepsta with all the Sheepstan people (Destroy North and South Sheepsta, and create a "Unified Sheepsta", or RP all into New Sheepsta' Was the option. I am RP it all into Unfied Sheepsta. They will probably not be a Unfied Sheepsta on NS for some time, however they will be unfied where it counts, here at Apolyton.

[Drogue]

RP all into New Sheepsta means you don't have to create a Unified Sheepsta, you can keep New Sheepsta, and RP the rest into it. However, if they are just provinces, they are not seperate nations. A nation is just a boundary, and thus if they are now part of New Sheepsta, it may take time to unify them, but they are already in the same nation, and thus are not seperate nations, with seperate governments. Also, it was asked that unless the people specifically vote for you or Archaic to keep those nations, they be left to run out. Since the people did not vote to give them to someone, they will be as such. Yes it will take time to RP them into a unity (and as much time as you need, it's all up you) they are not seperate nations anymore, and so should not exist as seperate nations.

Provinces don't have their own nations.

[Sheep]

No the way I am doin g it is that New Sheepsta, North and Sotuh Sheepsta are now co-opertating on how best to unify, to cause less damage to the Sheepstan people. Unified Sheepsta will be comprosided of autonomous provinces with the power to overule the federal government if they all agree. Hence the provinces may be on NS but they are not seperate entities but they are still needed for my plan to work. Sheepsta is not New Sheepsta as much as its not North or South Sheepsta. Only through unification can Sheepsta exist. Therefore I ask you to give me North and South Sheepsta.

[Drogue]

I see what you mean. I disagree about them being their own nation, under a federal government, as well as being one nation, run as 3 different nations. Although I may agree with what you want to do, there are 2 reasons against it. In the court poll, the people did not vote to give you control, and I was specifically asked that if they didn't, I should not give you control. Archaic started these nations in RL, and as such, he can say he doesn't want someone to have them. However, in RP terms, you can do what you wish now. So please RP it as such, but I cannot give you the passwords, so you cannot change issues or such like. I am sorry, but legally I cannot give you the passwords.

Then I shall wait into Anarchic comes online til I ask him. Thanks anyways.

The President of Unified Sheepsta has been elected. Nigel Stillman of the province of North Sheepsta has been elected for the Green Party of Sheepsta.

He has argued that Urbanised, his home town should be returned to Sheepsta. He has also called Alecrastians accusations that New Sheepsta contropls the new government as farce, and an attempt to retain Sheepstan land.

The first act of the new government was to unite the Armed Forces of Sheepsta into a Unified Army.

[Giovanni Wine]

The Wine Prime Minister: The Grand Duke Francesco Morelli is glad to see that the unfied sheepsta government elected the Green Party into power, as the Green Party is also the biggest party in the Kingdom of Wine.

OOC: Great to have Poly back

[Sheep]

We call upon the judges of the court to sit the case of Urbanised as it too is part of Sheepsta on the island and is still defended practicaly occupied by Alecrast.

Green party

[ceroomaster]

It pleases the government of Ceroo that a the new Sheppsta government was elected via democratic means.

Although it seams Ceroo would have prefered a more centrist-style of government such as the Democratic Party; according to sources outside the government

OCC:
Completely OCC & slightly OT, but:

Green Party - boo!
(I'm referring to the Welsh Green Party here folks!)

Whilst I'm all for looking after the environment, when I spoke to the Green Party candidate for the Assembly Government elections (in Wales JIC nobody knows where I'm from), he didn't have a blooming clue, it came accross that their policies were poorly-thought out and they were relying on winning the lottery 15 times (or something similar) because their maths was questionable. I do like talking with some politicians.

/OCC nonsense

[Drogue]

I agree with that. I have little respect for the British Green Party, especially their digs at Joschka Fischer, for 'selling-out'. However, in principle, I agree with them. I am all for environmental issues and regulations, but some of the people who are Green Party members make me wonder sometimes.
