OK, just to keep you guys updated, there should be an official Foreign Update coming out by the end of this week, I hope.

In other news, I've been made Home Secretary, so that's great for me  . I look forward to getting some recruitment APIs up and running, although I've never done that before, so it is rather daunting. I'll do my best  .

I'll be sure to post the Foriegn Update as soon as it is released!

I look forward to getting some recruitment APIs up and running, although I've never done that before, so it is rather daunting. I'll do my best  .

API recruiting is fairly simple, and there's plenty of guides out there (whether for NS++ or another program). Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

But good luck competing with a hundred other regions that do API recruitment. Manual or stamps are where it's at.

Good to hear from you, by the way! Congrats on becoming Home Secretary.

Thank you! If anyone has any experience in API recruiting, and has a bit of time to share, we could really use a helping hand. There's no need to join our forums, we're doing it all on Discord. If not, that's fine, I'm sure we'll manage.

API recruiting isn't too hard; this guide is really all you need. NationStates++ generally works well enough, though if you don't have access to the Founder/Delegate to set you up as a recruitment officer (or if NS++ is broken as it sometimes is), I've found that pyNSrecruit works quite well too.

Great, thank you! It seems that a Wintreathian has already flocked to our Discord to help us out

OK, our first official Foreign Update is out! Yay!

Narrative from the NUK

Rise Like A Phoenix

While you may have heard of The New United Kingdom, you might not have heard about our sobering origin story. Following the rise of an authoritarian dictator by the name of Lord Carlisle, a multitude of our region's key citizens fled, resulting in the founding of New United Kingdom in its current form. While the old TNUK is no more, NUK is a growing region with a dedicated and dynamic citizenry that's both proud of their history, and excited for the future.
Got That Government Tho

The NUK Parliament is currently in its second term, both of which have seen the Conservative Progressives, the oldest party in the NUK, form a Government with The Rt. Hon. Lucas-Spencer Wessex at its Prime Minister. However, in recent weeks the rival British Royalist Party has been formed out of other smaller parties, and quickly gained prominence, as the first party to provide significant opposition to the CPP in terms of size and influence, and even defeating the governing party in a recent by-election. In its entirety, Parliament consists of Cello Snow-Donald (CPP), Lucas Spencer-Wessex (CPP), Kasimir Devereaux (BRP), Charles Watson-Turing-Donald (CPP), and Connor Williams Devereaux (BRP) in the House of Commons, and Prince Cobi Wessex, Lord John Donald, and Lord George Mountbatten in the House of Lords. That being said, a general election is due at the end of this month, and it's likely to be the most closely contested in NUK's short history.

Beyond Parliament, the King's Bench (or Supreme Court) of the NUK consists of Lady Chief Justice Arynnia I, and the more recently appointed Hon. George Windsor as Senior Associate.

And of course, the Monarchy of the New United Kingdom is headed by our very own HM King Edward X of the House of Windsor-Astoria.
A Truly Marvel-ous Culture Scene

The New United Kingdom is home to a multitude of cultural initiatives, whether they be Government-supported, such as our Avengers Roleplay or impending BritAwards, or citizen-managed, like The Grenadier pub and inn or the wild parties our citizens have developed an affinity for. In addition, multiple media networks provide content to NUK audiences, including the British Broadcasting Corporation and Everyday Productions.
What About The People?

The New United Kingdom has a very diverse population, including citizens with years experience to those brand new to NationStates, as well as both those who come from Houses of Nobility and commoners that form their own. Specifically, the NUK has a notable group of citizens from the House of Mountbatten (particularly the Wessex branch), the House of Devereaux, our Royal Family's House of Windsor-Astoria, and even the NUK-original House of Donald.

If you're interested in the New United Kingdom or considering creating a nation within our region, feel free to get in contact with any NUK Ambassador. We'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that I have, along with several other NUK citizens, converted to the one true faith, the Church of the Holy Potato. This was thanks to His Starchiness, Crushita the Potato Pope, answering my call for volunteers to help set up the API (it's working great, by the way). Crushita decided to stay on as a Citizen, and he acted as a Missionary for the Faith.

I'm glad I converted! I have seen the light! Among my previous journeys through the Frozen Land of Wintreath, I considered vegetable-worshippers as savages, I'm sorry to say. However, I am now one myself!

Praise be to the potato!

We welcome you into the faith and into the mission we share.  Many the starchy blessings be upon you!  O Great One, Wonderful Tuber, Starch of Majesty, thank you for opening the eyes of yet another to the miracles of your words and wonderful deeds! 

Praise be to the spud for it is good!
Its starch is yours forever!
The Holy Spud hath brought us here!
In harmony forever!

Apologies, I had to post that as a series of images as the New United Kingdom uses BBCode, unlike Wintreath. I hope you enjoyed it, nonetheless.

Wintreath uses BBCode too, it's just a different variant.

Ah, OK. Well, I think images are still OK.

Thanks for the update.
