An article in The Kaiserplatz Post By Sarah Longman, May 11, 2022
Fourth Time’s Not a Charm
Of course, change doesn’t please everyone. One radical political party, the Anti-Nazis, and their leader Destrick Bonoffeur, have protested—both peacefully and violently. They believe that a German-cultured nation will quickly switch to Nazi ideology, bringing about a “Fourth Reich.”
This is a crucial moment in Fortisian history. All eyes are on the Kaiser. This issue is one that will show if he is fit to rule. And if he doesn’t take action, what will the Anti-Nazis do? If they meet no resistance, seizure of the Fortisian government is inevitable.
Yesterday, May 10, 2022, the Anti-Nazis led non-violent demonstrations in Frederich’s Square. They had recently gained power in the Parliamentary Election, however small that gain was. The Anti-Nazis used their newfound power to influence Fortisbellator as much as they could. Destrick Bonoffeur, on top of a tank, shouted, “I demand imminent change to the culture of Fortisbellator. Culture has the power to turn the nation upside down.” As he says this, Anti-Nazi Party and Anti-Nazi Society members chant “NO FOURTH REICH!” all the while hoisting signs. Some read, “Go from Kaiser to King,” “Prevent Another Major War,” “Piss Off, Prussians,” and “4’s the Unlucky Number.”
Bonoffeur continued, “Today we advocate for change peacefully. We advocate for peace itself. We advocate for the good of the nation. If Fortisbellator comes to Nazism, there will be a major war to prevent it—a long and bloody one, as Fortisian militarism is rising too. To keep Fortisbellator’s powerful economy and superb political freedom, we must guard against socialism. The controversies of this world shall not stop us.”
“I call for change. And that change means making our Constitutional Monarchy more constitutional. It means re-titling the Kaiser. It means removing the main culprit, the Ministry of Culture. Frederich, if you seek peace, if you seek liberalization, tear down German culture! If not, we will do so for you.”
That last part was a threat for violent protests. Fortisbellator is still going through days of peaceful demonstrations, but people are watching for any signs of radical action. Some panic is happening right now, as many are stocking up on necessities such as food and water. Recent statistics also show that weapon sales are spiking. Citizen Jennifer Gibbs, who recently bought an secondhand M1911, says, “If something does happen right now, ‘cause, you know, there’s all of this Anti-Nazi tension on, I want my home to be protected as much as possible. Fortisbellator’s been a nice place to live, and it’s also very free. So you would expect support for the right to bear arms, right?”
The Kaiser prepared his own response. His speech was given at night, when the demonstrations had stopped. He declares, in part, that Fortisbellator is doing all it can to avoid following 1900s Germany. “If we keep Fortisbellator back in late-1800s-early-1900s German culture, it’ll be fine. It is absolutely impossible to go to Nazism at the state we’re in now. Who would want to destroy all of our good progress? For the Lieb Vaterland to march forward, we must keep our way of life—capitalism, a constitutional monarchy, and devolution.”
This is Fortisbellator’s first sign of revolution since the nation began—what will happen next? —KP

The Kaiserplatz Post is Fortisbellator’s nationwide newspaper. It is written by citizens, is not state-regulated, and is free to poke at any national issues, including government corruption, for example.
The newspaper does have an actual press (i.e. an actual newspaper) and can be seen in lots of places around the country. However, the newspaper mostly runs online and is mostly read online. National dispatches that are labeled “An article from The Kaiserplatz Post” are online articles.
The Post’s content mainly features governmental things, but it also covers major national things that happen with the people (for example, a protest in another city). Rising prices, mass shootings, natural disasters—you have it here in the Post.

Being a Guardian is for warriors who are unable to engage the Darkspawn on the frontlines and yet are still willing and eager to fight the raider blight.
For those busy during the two game update times, you can still conduct military operations and make a difference as a Guardian. Guardians choose to guard and cleanse the regions of NationStates from the Darkspawn in-between update times with a more flexible schedule. Guardians move into target regions during the 12-hour windows between game updates and provide vital WA endorsement support to their leading officers, as well as conducting detags and off update defenses.
Guardian mission updates are found on the RMB (Regional Message Board) and World Factbook Entry for Guardian missions which are updated every 12 hours. There are also notifications given on Discord, if you are able to join.
You don't need to sign up or register anywhere, either on NationStates, on Discord, or the forum. Just start participating by following this guide! This guide will remain pinned in our region to serve as a handbook whenever you need it.
How to Participate:
We call your current nation in The Order of the Grey Wardens your "main nation". For Guardian missions, you will need another nation, which is called a "puppet nation". You can name this nation whatever you want when you create it. To get your puppet nation setup, follow these steps:
1) If your main nation is admitted to the World Assembly, resign your World Assembly membership. 2) Login to your puppet nation, or create it if you have not done so already. 3) Go to the Settings page. 4) Associate a valid e-mail with your nation (make sure this is the same e-mail address as on your main nation). 5) In your Motto, make a reference to the name of your main nation in some fashion (so that we know it's you!) 6) Set the Guardians Flag on that nation 7) Apply to join the World Assembly. 8) Check your e-mail, and confirm your admittance into the World Assembly. 9) Move to the current region listed in the newest Guardian RMB post and endorse the selected nation 10) Remain there until the lead nation gains the delegacy position
To confirm your Guardian registration, please send a Telegram to Pangaea-Panthalassa with the following information:
Total mission counts and ranks are calculated at the end of each month by Guardian leadership, typically pinned on the main region page when published.
There may be times where the format of a Guardian mission changes, depending on the needs or goals of the mission. It's important to check your telegrams on your Guardian nation in case you receive special instructions, but here are some you might encounter generally:
If asked to move to a region, you move your puppet nation to that region by opening the region page, scrolling to after the World Factbook Entry, and then clicking "Move (Nation) to (Region)". (Note: Do not post on that region's Regional Message Board unless invited by native nations to do so)
If asked to endorse a nation, open that nation's page, scroll to the bottom, and click the button "Endorse (Nation)". (Note: You can only do this if your puppet nation is in the same region as that nation)
If asked to cross-endorse on a nation, you not only endorse that nation but also every other nation endorsing that nation. To see the endorsees of a nation, scroll to the bottom of the page to "Endorsements received:", which is followed by a list of endorsing nations.
If asked to cross-endorse in the region, when you enter a region, you will want to find your fellow Guardian nations and cross-endorse on them. To find these nations, you can either scroll through all nations in the region and look for nations with the Guardian flag, or look at the activity page for that region for nations moving to that region with the Guardian flag.
Guardian Ranks:
Being a Guardian offers quick promotions based on the number of missions you complete and further leadership opportunities. Guardian missions and various Guardian tasks are managed by those who hold the following ranks:
Silverite Guardian - The Silverite Guardian is the leader of all the Guardian forces. They will oversee missions and make sure the deeds of the Guardians are remembered for those who come after by maintaining records.
Guardian Champion - The Guardian Champion is second-in-command to the Silverite Guardian. They are an experienced veteran of the battlefields and can be trusted to provide leadership in the absence of the Silverite Guardian.
Guardian Captain - Guardian captains are those who have shown outstanding dedication to the cause and are entrusted to take the lead on missions when called upon by their superiors.
Even when not in leadership, Guardians can earn titled ranks that reflect their experience and hard-earned effort against the raider blight. These ranks are calculated by leadership at the end of each month, as found in the Guardian mission log:
Guardian Knight-Indomitable - These Guardians have dedicated countless hours to protecting regions. You can recognise them by their armor, dented but still glorious, and patched up over and over. That is, if you don't already recognise their storied name. (Awarded to those who have completed more than 125 missions)
Guardian Knight-Stalwart - Stalwarts are loyal to their friends and their quest, reliable in every battle, and hard-working, having dedicated their time and sword to a myriad of missions. (Awarded to those who have completed 76-125 missions)
Guardian Knight-Bulwark - These Guardians have attended a multitude of missions, their glorious swords always ready to plunge into battle. Regions know they can depend on a Knight-Bulwark. (Awarded to those who have completed 36-75 missions)
Guardian Knight - When you hear the gale of wings, and the glint of metal, and the cry of the griffin, a Guardian Knight cannot be far away, ready to help whoever is in need. (Awarded to those who have completed 21-35 missions)
Guardian - Guardians are the shields that protect the vulnerable, and the hands that reach out to help people back up after a raid. (Awarded to those who have completed 6-20 missions)
Guardian Squire - These young guardians have recently taken up their sword to protect regions all over NationStates. You can recognize them by their shiny new armor and boundless enthusiasm! (Awarded to those who have completed 1-5 missions)
I have a feeling those regions for fash regions for raid practice.
Nootnootnootnoot
I was in the fandom for abt 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 yrs and left a little more then a year ago, just before it got really toxic. I don't know how bad it is now but I remember having de/ath threats and being doxxed before for liking 1 person more then another or smth?? I kinda dislike most of the actual fandom now but I'm friends w a couple ppl in it ;-; ig idrc as long as you arent toxic or go against the creators wishes with storytelling and stuff idkTT
No, they have training raids for that kind of thing. Hell, many antifash raids have defenders involved or actively part of the operation. NationStates has always been united in our hate for fash and often it’s the only circumstances where all areas of gameplay actually work together for a common cause
Oh i am deeply deeply apologized for that toxic activity you have experience. Damn, i guess i am kinda lucky since i am mostly interacting on Tumblr. I rarely open Twitter because we all fans of dsmp knew Twitter is an burning dumpster fire. And jesus christ. I am so sorry... you suffered from morbid experiences. You dealt with... damn. I kinda felt depressed from hearing all of this.
