GOVERNMENT: - MARINER TRENCH GOVERNMENT | CONSTITUTION | LAWS | CITIZENSHIP | ROLEPLAY / MAPS | PROTECTORATES | THE MT ARMY (RETIRED) Government Structure 🞑 Mixed structure of Gerontocracy and Liberal Democracy. § Gerontocracy is a form of rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population. The ancient Greeks were among the first to believe in this idea of gerontocracies. The best example of this can be seen in the ancient Greek city state of Sparta, which was ruled by a Gerousia. The Gerousia was the Spartan council of elders, which was made up of members who were at least 60 years old and served for life.

- MARINER TRENCH GOVERNMENT | CONSTITUTION | LAWS | CITIZENSHIP | ROLEPLAY / MAPS | PROTECTORATES | THE MT ARMY (RETIRED) Ongoing War Simulation Maps In the last couple of months, the most active Trenchians of Mariner Trench held a map RP where they claimed European territories and fought for land. This is their story. EARLY STAGES The game begun with 9 nations: Cephalopodia (Calamari Lands, myself) had claimed Spain, Scandinaviaga controlled Norway and Sweden (Mariner Aga), the Empire of the Isles had the UK and Ireland (Hypron), the Kingdom of Mivolis had claimed Germany (Mivolis), the Kingdom of Cryspus controlled the area east of Germany, with territories corresponding to Ukraine and Poland (Cryspus), Inven controlled northern territories such as Finland (Inven), Chungreece had Greece and Sicily (Chunga chunga chunga), Anarchich Italian States controlled Corsica, Sardinia, northern Italy and the Balearic Islands, and Sargonian France had, well, France (Sargon Reman). Most nations decided to take grey territories (land that hadn't been claimed) in the first rounds. However, France decided to get aggressive. They attacked the Empire, but they were unsuccessful and actually lost a territory to their forces. In a change of heart, France publicly proposed to the Empire the idea of attacking Cephalopodia together. RETALIATION WAR The war began with a Mivolisian attack on France, which began taking territories from it. The sheer strength in numbers of the Potato Alliance against France made the Empire join it instead of France, who ironically started the war by trying to ally with them. POTATO ALLIANCE HEGEMONY After the war, AIS and the Empire formally joined the Potato Alliance, making it remarkably big. Only Chungreece, Inven and Scandinaviaga weren't in it. During the newly started times of relative peace, nations decided to take grey territory. The Empire took Belgium and Holland, Mivolis, Cryspus and AIS took territories in central Europe, Scandinaviaga took Denmark and Chungreece, together with Cephalopodia, took northern Africa: Tunisia for Chungreece and northern Argelia for Cephalopodia. Cephalopodia also managed to conquer Portugal, and Chungreece steadily moved up the Adriatic coast, eventually bordering Cryspus. THE GREAT NORTHERN WAR But peace couldn't last forever. During the war, Inven had expanded on territories in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Baltic Sea was becoming more and more crowded, and tensions were inevitable. Scandinaviaga decided to attack Inven's new territories and after a long, excruciating conflict, they took them all. That wouldn't last long, though: Cryspus got territories that made them eventually border Aga's 3 new counteies, so the pressure was on. Meanwhile, Inven retaliated and took all those 3 back, along with half of Sweden. THE COLD WAR After the destruction of Aga, everyone was on edge. Every nation stocked up on manpower, and thus began an arms race. Everyone wanted to be ready for the enemy's next attack. It was Inven against the entirety of the Potato Alliance, while Chungreece was a neutral third party that could change the configuration of the European map drastically with a single pledge of allegiance. However, during this time, nobody attacked and Chungreece didn't pledge alliegance to anybody. The Mediterranean powers (AIS, Chungreece and Cephalopodia) conservatively expanded on grey territory: AIS finished taking central Europe, Cephalopodia took southern Italy and Chungreece expanded in the Balkans. EUROPEAN PEACE These three Mediterranean nations also were approached by a group of sailors who wanted to set out to find a new continent. Amused yet intrigued, Chungreece, AIS and Cephalopodia financed them. Eventually, while the tensions in the north died out, these sailors came back with outstanding news: They had discovered an entire new continent, America, waiting to be explored. These news reached the entirety of Europe, and seeing how nobody really wanted to fight each other, the European Potato Alliance Peace Treaty was signed, establishing peace and trust between the remaining 7 nations. Before moving on to America, Chungreece got Turkey and together with Cryspus they split the remaining Balkans, while Inven took the most eastern territories and Cephalopodia finished up taking what was left grey of Italy. With the whole European map colorful, the European powers were ready to take on America. With the borders of Europe tightly defined after the war and resources running scarce, the European nations sought new lands to expand their nations. It wasn't long before the continent of North America was discovered. Excitement of this major discovery turned sour when it was realised this continent was already claimed by local native nations. The second scenario will pit the surviving nations from the first map against the native nations (remaining/new players). Surviving nations will choose starting locations along the eastern shore, whilst native nations will select locations on the west coast. The great North American colonization project, headed by the Potato Alliance, was a resounding success for the invading Europeans. With this victory came a sense of confidence, they lowered their gaze south of Europe to the continent of Africa. In times gone by, the European ancestors attempted to conquer this much feared and cursed ancient land, but were always beaten back by strange weather, animals and the local "ghost" tribes. However the Europeans now dominated intercontinental civilizations, old fairy tales were not going to stop them taking more land. The African Civilization "Golden Lion" chiefs heard rumors from the Americas that the European "Potato alliance" decimated native tribes with little to no remorse. When the alliance arrived on African shores, three southern African native civilizations decided to stand together and repel them. As African native civilizations victories stacked up, and reputation grew, non-aggression pacts were made with other native civilizations under a single vision. The African natives would permit the assimilation of grey nomadic tribe lands into their civilizations for the sole purpose of repelling the invaders from Africa. Once the invaders had been removed, all native civilizations were to relinquish ownership of the grey nomadic lands and return them to the way they have lived for tens of thousands of years. The agreement made with Marine python was that all grey land to the north east of the African continent would be all theirs. The invading civilization of Hypron gained the respect of the natives through their willingness to survive after their lands were in ruins. A non-aggression pact was made, coveted land around the economically strategically important (to the Europeans) Suez Canal and South Africa were promised if Hypron would attack public enemy number one for the natives, Inven. and return all other African territories to the nomadic tribes. During the fall of the largest invader civilization, Calamari lands, a non-aggression pact was made, granting the canary islands and the tip of Morocco if remaining African territories were handed back to the nomadic tribes. With the defeat of the final enemy invader, Inven, the attached map shows the final result of the campaign, a truly unique situation. Mariner Trench Alternative History 3000 BC (Origin) Authored by Vippertooth33. Earth, 3000 BCE, ancient beings from a distant planet who had evolved to a higher plain of existence, visited Earth. These beings called themselves "Azguardians". It is not known why they visited our planet but their intention was clear. To provide guidance for the young human race to ascend. They taught that ascension is a process that allows beings to be able to separate from their physical bodies and to live eternally as pure energy in a superior plane with a greater amount of knowledge and power. It can be a mental, spiritual or evolutionary process—a direct result of obtaining a certain level of wisdom and knowledge as a civilization. These beings collected various humans from all over the globe and placed them on an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean, an area that is today landlocked and known as the Richat structure "Eye of the Sahara". This circular highly symmetrical geologic feature is thought to be caused by an uplifted dome. It was here that they cultivated one of the first civilizations on earth and a unique one due to high levels of ethnic diversity. This civilization was taught strong social values and unity as well as technology well ahead of other civilizations popping up around earth. The name given to this civilization was "Atlantis". 2000 BC 1000 BC Authored by Vippertooth33 and Earthly delights. Around 800 BC two exploratory space craft from an alien race known as the "Ex'ien" arrived on earth landing in Athens, Greece. The aliens set about improving the lives and technology of the Greeks. Focusing their power in what would eventually become mighty Athens. The ascended "Azguardians" warned the Atlantians that this species followed a political philosophy based on extreme racist or authoritarian views. It was because of this, their highly technologically advanced space faring race was unable to ascend. The "Azguardians" used their passive abilities to cloud Atlantis existence from the "Ex'ien". The ascended "Azguardians" had leaned that the "Ex'ien's" xeno-sociologists made a fascinating discovery- according to their models, humans would eventually develop a political philosophy similar to their own (Nazism/Fascism), and that it would conquer the world- if the human city of Athens were allowed to thrive. The "Ex'ien" originated from the opposite side of the galaxy making it difficult for them to return and exterminate humanity (as per their standard doctrine) within at least a 10,000 year time line, therefore progressing/protecting Athens was a quicker option. The Ascended "Azguardians" tasked the Altantians with attacking and destroying the two "Ex'ien" space craft, in order to save humanity from an ascended-less future. A plan was hatched, the "Azguardians" helped foster a new kind of super weapon that was capable of destroying space craft. As described by Plato hundreds of years later, the Atlanteans attacked Athens, followed by a strategic withdrawal to draw the "Ex'ien" space craft, to the location of the newly created super weapon in Atlantis. Such was the ferocity of the battle over Atlantis, it could be heard around the world. One of the space craft was completely disabled, crashing into the ocean, the other was severely damaged to the point where it fled to space. However such was the "Ex'ien's" hate-filled fury that the city and island of Atlantis was submerged into the Atlantic completely. Unbeknownst to the "Ex'ien". a small group of Atlanteans survived the catastrophe. The survivors were able to salvage, understand and use some of the alien technology. After what had happened, the remaining Atlanteans were strongly opposed to intervention, and also very worried that the "Ex'ien" might return and finish them off. So they decided to construct a great city 10,994 km beneath the sea- in fact, as far beneath the surface as possible, providing them security and solitude. They named this place "Mariner Trench", thousands of years later lost in translation to those on the surface as Mariana Trench. The newly found Trenchians swore an oath, that if the prophesied extreme racist or authoritarian politics did arise, then they would act, and that they would be prepared for total war against the forces of evil. Authored by Vippertooth33. A council was formed, consisting of the greatest minds of the Trench including James the Great, The peace makers, Steve austin, Baka jin and Shogun lodge. A political decision was made that Mariner Trench as a whole would follow a mixed structure of Gerontocracy and Liberal Democracy. Gerontocracy is a form of rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population. The ancient Greeks were among the first to believe in this idea of gerontocracies. The best example of this can be seen in the ancient Greek city state of Sparta, which was ruled by a Gerousia. The Gerousia was the Spartan council of elders, which was made up of members who were at least 60 years old and served for life. Liberal democracy is a liberal political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of classical liberalism. Also called Western democracy, it is characterized by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and political freedoms for all people. The famous scientist James the Great held the honor of founding the first nation within the Trench, it was known as Sanmyaku. This was soon followed by the mighty peacekeeper warrior The peace makers who united 33 warrior guilds, forming Vippertooth33. The loyalists banded under the unwavering leadership of Steve austin to create a nation named Gi-krycek. Historian Baka jin vowed to keep history and tradition alive in their new nation of Furi kuri 2. Political dynamo Shogun lodge gathered his closest party members to create the mighty Golden hind. 0000 AD Authored by Vippertooth33. Early experimentation in the pursuit of accelerating human ascension was born from the theory of “brainwave synchronization”. It was thought that on a minute scale, during conversation, participant’s brains were synchronized to increase understanding of essentially alien points of view shared as opinions. By recording cerebral electrical activity, the neuronal activity of two people involved in the act of communication, it was discovered that inter-brain communion goes beyond language itself and may constitute a key factor in interpersonal relations and the understanding of language. Brainwaves corresponding to the speaker and the listener adjust according to the physical properties of the sound of the verbal messages expressed in a conversation. This creates a connection between the two brains, which begin to work together towards a common goal, effective communication. Going one step further, future experiments sought to find a medium to enhance this synchronization. The answer it seemed was all around them, water. By placing two people in separate sensory deprivation tanks filled with water and artificially increasing the amount of acetylcholine in their brain it was found they were able to communicate with each other without speaking a word. Just like any muscle their brains began to strengthen and they no longer needed to use the tanks to communicate in this way. Even more remarkable it was discovered that once their brain had unlocked this skill, it was inherited by their offspring in 80% of cases. 1000 AD Authored by Vippertooth33. Born Nov 3rd, 1837 Leader of The MT Army Factbook (Viper) 10,994 km under the sea, Mariner Trench was mostly hidden from the outside world until 1939. As the Nazi Party in Germany rose to power, Chief Elder Viper realized, in his wisdom, that this represented the ascended Azguardians 800 BC prophesied future of "extreme racist and authoritarian politics". Viper set about campaigning to change Mariner Trench's policy of strict distant observation of land based civilization, it was time to get involved and paramount to defeat this growing evil. The campaign was successful, on 1 September, 1939, The MT Army was born and Viper was elected to lead the mighty Warriors to a heroic victory. The entire Trenchian populations were converted into mighty Anti-Nazi Warriors (Note: in RL was founded June 22nd, 2003, is known as the godfathers of Anti-Nazi/Fascism military action on NationStates). After the successful defeat of the Nazis/Fascists in World War 2, Chief Elder Viper established the Mariner Trench "Global Outreach Program", assisting the land based civilizations to defeat any remaining or newly rising Nazi/Fascist elements, provide humanitarian aid and help progress technological advancement to meet the high standards set within the Trench. As a safety and diplomatic precaution Chief Elder Viper mandated the use of a new type of weapons technology developed in the Trench. Firearms of which use the physiological signals of the user to determine if their intent to use the weapon is for good or evil. If the user attempted to kill or injure someone out of anger, jealousy, spite or hate it would simply refuse to fire. Trechians who wished to contribute to the Global Outreach Program were forbidden to use any other firearms. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authored by Vippertooth33. In May 1951, Nostromo Yagua, a Mariner Trench engineer, gained approval to test his experimental second generation unmanned surveillance drone, for use of surveillance of the Korean War. The drone was sent to observe American forces using artillery on a village containing North Korean soldiers. The test was a success with live footage broadcasted directly to the depths of Mariner Trench, the soldiers on the ground none the wiser that the drone was watching them. The overly eager engineer decided that the situation provided a good opportunity to test the drones maneuvering abilities and shielding technology. He directed the drone directly over the village, within the firing line of the American artillery. Nostromo rejoiced as the drone automatically dodged the first 10 incoming shells with ease, however his celebration was short lived, as artillery began to strike the drone and before long they disabled its stealth ability and depleted its energy shield. The engineer rushed to fly the drone away from the artillery fire, but without its stealth technology it had now become a target for the American soldiers who suspected experimental Russian technology. The Americans opened fire with their rifles, piercing the drones outer defences, the drone went wild, lights flicking on and off, sporadic movements side to side. The Americans stopped firing out of fear of the object exploding or crashing into them. The drone stabilized itself and automatically began self defence protocols, scanning the battlefield and sending a beam of charged energy at every solider within firing distance. In panic Nostromo scrambled to disable the protocol and succeeded in stopping the beams before the soldiers were cooked from the inside out. Return to base orders were initiated and the badly damaged drone zoomed off into the distance, leaving the shocked and confused American soldiers to ponder what just had happened to them. Mariner Trench kept tabs on the American soldiers exposed to the energy beams, those who survived the war were met with a series of ill health significantly shortening their life spans. Their families were supported by large financial gifts from anonymous sources. 2000 AD In 2018 Chief Elder Viper championed a mass (often nation wide) immigration policy, opening up Mariner Trench to new faces, cultures and ideas to help steer the Trench to a new golden age of enlightenment and hopefully fast track humanities ascension to a higher plane of existence.

"Everybody must know, or remember, that Hitler and Mussolini, when they spoke in public, were believed, applauded, admired, adored like gods. They were ‘charismatic leaders’; they possessed a secret power of seduction that did not proceed from the credibility or the soundness of the things they said, but from the suggestive way in which they said them. And we must remember that their faithful followers, among them the diligent executors of inhuman orders, were not born torturers, were not (with a few exceptions) monsters: they were ordinary men. Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous; more dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions. Since it is difficult to distinguish true prophets from false, it is well to regard all prophets with suspicion." -- Primo Levi Nouveaurich, Calamari lands, and The cosmic expanse | |||||||||||||||||||||
"For when I speak of the banality of evil, I do so only on the strictly factual level, pointing to a phenomenon which stared one in the face at the trial. Eichmann was not Iago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III 'to prove a villain.' Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had no motives at all… He merely, to put the matter colloquially, never realized what he was doing… It was sheer thoughtlessness—something by no means identical with stupidity—that predisposed him to become one of the greatest criminals of that period. And if this is 'banal' and even funny, if with the best will in the world one cannot extract any diabolical or demonic profundity from Eichmann, this is still far from calling it commonplace… That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together which, perhaps, are inherent in man—that was, in fact, the lesson one could learn in Jerusalem."

Its when you ally with the deplorable Nazis/Fascists, which Raxulan Empire does, that you have to expect resistance from those who fight the good fight.

Mariner Trench may not have fancy recommendation dispatches, but your WA Delegate recommends a vote FOR Commend Ellenburg, as they are the Founder of the URA and our Chief Mariner wrote the resolution commending them.
