Consulate of New United Kingdom

So....Let's get right into it then.....Ummm....I've never done this before.....ok I'm just going to wing it....
NewUnitedKingdom!

New United Kingdom is a region that grew out of the ashes of 'The New United Kingdom', a once bustling region which was brought to ruin by its founder, a guy called Lord Carlisle, who broke the rules of the Constitution and banjected almost all the population.

So, a bunch of refugees set up New United Kingdom as a successor region. We are currently aiming to grow. We have a quite active population on the RMB, and a small, but incredibly active forum population. Our Monarch is His Majesty King Edward X, and our current(and first!) Prime Minister is Prime Minister Lucas Mountbatten-Spencer, of the Conservative Progressive Party.

So, on the whole, our region operates very similarly to the real life UK. We have a Constitutional Monarchy, the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and a few families that basically control the region. We are trying to build an active RP scene, and we have a wealth of forum games.

In this space, I will post updates of the region, and perhaps features regarding sections of the region, so that all you Wintreathians can get a better understanding of the region.

I hope that this is the start of a great relationship between our two regions. See 'ya around!

Thanks for the introduction post! I was curious about how New United Kingdom got started.

I'm curious, do you have a lot of people that are part of multiple regions? I've noticed that Mountbatten is a fairly common name in some of the imperialist/independent regions.

Yes, many of our most important members(the King, the Prime Minister) have second nations in other regions. And as for the Mountbattens, they are all related, believe it or not. The House of Mountbatten has members in high-up positions throughout NS, especially in UK-themed regions.

Ahhh...that's what I thought.

Which leads me to another curiousity...why New United Kingdom? There's a lot of UK-themed regions out there, you know.

Well, I think in the old region, 'The New United Kingdom', it was a kind of RP where the UK had fallen and was being rebuilt, but I'm not sure as I wasn't there long before Carlisle wrecked the place.

And we just wanted to keep the region as similar as possible so we got the closest name we could.

Well, that's all the questions that come to mind...thanks for introducing us to your region and giving me the opportunity to ask. I hope our relationship is a productive and successful one.

As do I. And if anyone else has any questions, don't hesitate to ask, I'll do my best to answer 

Oh look, another region that got wrecked by their founder banjecting everyone!

Yup, the full story goes like this:
Carlisle founded the region, he was pretty chill, he was King for a bit, everyone was happy, although he did keep a pretty tight reign on the region. Then, he went inactive for a good few months. The region kept going without him, set up a Constitution, and made a lot of progress without him. Then, he returns about 2 months ago, throws a tantrum, and forces the then King and Prime Minister to abdicate. A bunch of people get angry at him, including myself. He starts banjecting everyone, and many more people leave, realising that they can do nothing to fight him. Many people join the new region, and life goes on. We're trying to regrow now. But the sad thing is that Carlisle has left the old region, leaving it to collect dust with only 60-or so nations, who are CTE-Ing like flies. Also, nobody can access the old forums, Carlisle banned everyone's accounts and there's nobody to mask new accounts. Oh, well, that's life.

I apologise for my lack of activity, I have been away. Sooner or later, the NUK Foreign Office will start providing regular Regional Updates, so you have that to look forward to! For the time being, I'll just give my own personal take on events.

In other news, the NUK is ticking along quite nicely. We're in our second term of Parliament, and two of the opposition parties have merged, to form one party which could be challenging the ruling Conservative Progressive Party. Exciting stuff!

A few of our members have been away on various trips, including Yours Truly, and our Monarch, King Edward. Everyone seems to be coming back now, though.

We're gearing up towards a recruitment drive, and so expect us to grow, I hope!

We're also starting a new RolePlay, based on the Avenger's. We hope that this will last a bit longer than our first attempt at an RP, which kind of failed...

That's all that I can think of for now, and I promise I'll get more involved in Wintreath again. I look forward to posting again, with what should be the NUK's first official Foreign Update.

If you have any questions about the region, feel free to ask!

Sounds like things are going well

Where did you go to? How was your trip?

Just went on holiday to a lovely beach resort. It was really nice, aside from the slow wifi that kept me from NationStates.

Who cares about NS? You were on holiday...better that you were able to enjoy it rather than dwell on NS stuff.

Yeah, exactly! Didn't take me long to catch up on everything, anyway!
