Qualified as in capable to RPing to your insanely high standards in Dolgava.

Well hey, we don't have any set standards. It just so happens that everyone is following suit with whole formatting of news posts and downloading of new fonts for letterheads. Any party is welcome to come in and reply with a simple "200 Font Intro, Normal size paragraph, no pictures no music" most other newspapers have.

They're welcome to do it. But they'll sure not look as great in comparison.
It's all about competition and incentive over at Dolgava. Viva Capitalism!

Exactly, you could be 'bland',we'll just make our news posts even more 'out there' to compensate.Besides,it's not like your news posts are that bland or boring,EEL.Anyone can add some spice.

EEL could really spice up the Dolgava news thread. His posts in Dranish News are always so epic. Really grip the imagination.

But Beluzia doesn't have a centralized military or identity. It's the local governments that matter, in almost everything (including foreign policy).

I presume that internal trouble like another civil war still counts as trouble. And one of your constituent states getting into trouble is also trouble.

No. The Chairman can't force the other states to defend Iker Ado.
I plan to break up North Beluzia to make things less complicated.
We'll then have 5 independent states in the bloc: 3 monarchies and 2 separate republics, instead of 3 monarchies and a republic made out of 2 states. With the 2-state republic, I need to calculate the legislature and do all that electoral college thingy for the President.

Everything will go back to normal, when we had 5 separate states, except this time 2 will be republics instead of monarchies.

I know. But one of your states getting in trouble is still trouble - for that state, if not for the others. And it gives people an excuse to go to war.

Exactly; the others are not obligated to get involved. That state will have to deal with it on its own.

And it gives people an excuse to go to war.

It gives them an excuse to do it, but it doesn't mean they are going to.

If the USA invades Jamaica tomorrow, it doesn't mean that other CARICOM members, like Trinidad or Barbados, are going to help.

Beluzia is strictly an economic bloc. The players, who win states in election maps, control everything else in regards to RP (including the sovereign right to international RP) for those states. Our treaty doesn't obligate us to protect each other, and on behalf of Iker Ado (when I still had it), IC I warned Bailon that we wouldn't care enough to defend them if they were attacked. We advised them against trying to build a military base that would also help us.

Yeah, my point is that a bit of Beluzian turbulence (Beluzia being Artania's most turbulent country) could help get a conflict going.

Get Socialist nations to incite a Socialist revolution in Bailon.
Negunia is more Artanian in culture. Bailon is Gao-Showan, and South Beluzia is Artania/Majatra mixed.

South Beluzia will stay out. Negunia will try to keep Bailon "normal"

End Result:
Bailon will be sovereign, or at least more autonomous. It will have its own head of state, just like each of the 3 counties in South Beluzia. "North Beluzia" (which already has its own President) will then only consist of Negunia. Everything will return to normal (when Beluzia was united), except that instead of 5 monarchies, there are 3 monarchies and 2 republics.
