Visit to The United Federation
Last week, President Skizzy Grey and I went to visit The United Federation. It was great and I had lots of fun getting to know quite a few of their members, even if many were Boston Bruins fans! It was interesting to hear their perspective on the NationStates world and on us and a great opportunity to share ideas. The event climaxed with President Skizzy Grey delivering a speech in the Capitol Building that was well recieved by the Federates.
Here is the reaction from the Senate Speaker ACKJVR and Vice-President Indian Ganges following the speech:

ACKJVR said:But you are right when you say that we need to stand by each other as full democracies committed to freedom. I hope that our relations will improve tremendously. I believe that I can speak for TUF when we express admiration at you resolve to stay sovereign. Sovereignty is hard to define between regions. However, I must congratulate you on your steadfast adherence to the idea of not joining larger, inter-regional groups. Our two free regions need to stand up to tyranny as a united front.
Indian Gangs said:As Vice President/Senator of TUF, I want to personally thank the Europeian delegation for visiting us; we have been looking forward to it for a little while now. We are some of the largest republican regions around and as a region, we do take pride in such. A very long time ago, a Romefeller once stated that regions simply think they can slap on a UK-styled monarchy and make it successful. The key word here being that they "think" they can just do this. Democracy, freedom, and self-determination are just a small number of ideals that many NS-ers gravitate to (and for good reason). Both of our regions represent these ideas and that's why we remain as "gargantuan" regions. While our regions have decided on different paths considering the classic defender/raider spectrum, it does not dictate what we do. We are all sovereign regions where we believe the citizens are the foundation of both region and community. In the future, I think our paths will cross on numerous occasions and I know we will benefit as whole from it. History is written everyday by us, so I say let's leave a healthy, vibrant, democratic region for our future citizens to fight the tyranny. Cheers!
