I will type up Stellonia vs. Texasa will it be ok?
Sorry, but no. That would be an incredibly bias story, you are not a citizen, and you are not in the News Bureau. I think that if indeed Starlanding is your sibling, make him post and send a telegram to CoL revoking his citizenship. Then, reapply for citizenship and then you can apply to be in the News Bureau

Controversial Court Case Reaches Justice Court

The trial has begun in the well-publicized Stellonia vs. Texasa case. Texasa, represented by Franz Republic, has been accused of spam and/or generally disruptive content-posting on the RMB and the offsite forum. The defense and prosecution have argued over whether Texasa's posts fall under "free speech" or "spam". Another question is the relevance of the established precedent under RTL vs. Catholic34 which established that nations in violation of NationStates rules are in violation of Right to Life law. The Justice of The Peace has ruled in favor of Stellonia, claiming that Texasa spammed the RMB and the forum, and had also violated the rules of the trial by making threats and attacking Stellonia based on the irrelevant Phydios vs. Stellonia.
The full ruling is below
Stellonia vs. Texasa Ruling
By: New Dolgaria

This is an unusual case. Ordinarily, deciding if a player has violated forum rules is not the responsibility of the court. In this case, it has been debatable if the defendant has violated rules. I want to make clear that just because this case went to the court doesn't mean that future cases involving forum rule breaking should always go to the court.

Stellonia provided a link to all of Texasa's forum posts. Of these posts, I find the following to fit the definition of "spam":
1
2
3 (in this post, Texasa is ignoring clear instructions from Culture of Life, as the latter notes here)
4 (in this post, Texasa quotes Phydios word for word without even giving credit)
5 (once again ignoring CoL)
6 (once again ignoring CoL, as well as others who have repeated CoL's instructions)
7 (more of the same)
8
9
10
11
12
13

Plus one post that does not really qualify as spam but is nonetheless indicative of either ignorance of the rules or intentional disrespect.

I agree with Stellonia's reasoning over FranzRepublic's argument; Texasa's posts do indeed constitute spam. He was not being ignored.

Furthermore, Texasa has demonstrated contempt and/or ignorance of the rules on this very thread. Here he tries to slander Stellonia by claiming that his motive for suing Texasa has to do with his loss in the Senatorial race and that the case of Phydios v. Stellonia suggests Stellonia is "pro-abortion". Not only are these accusations slanderous, but they are irrelevant to the case. He repeats his accusations here.
Texasa has also changed his forum account name, which is not in itself against the rules, but subsequently accused someone else of changing it in this court thread. Culture of Life has confirmed that Texasa was the one to change his forum name.
In this post, Texasa threatens to flood the region with his puppets, which is against NationStates rules and demonstrates a contempt for this region's inhabitants.
Finally, another spam post here.

If this were just a few incidents over the course of a short period of time, it wouldn't be such a big deal. But Texasa has had plenty of opportunities to read and understand the rules of both regional and forum conduct. The court therefore finds the defendant guilty. As CoL recommended, I will take a bit more time to decide the appropriate punishment.

Pro-Life Parliament Talk
In a poll in October 2015, the vast majority of Right to Life citizens said they were supportive of a role-play legislature for the region's shared nation, Pro-Life. However, not much had been done after this except determining that it would be called a "Parliament". Recently, however, when several nations stepped up to potentially lead the Parliament, the majority of citizens said that the Parliament should be open, once and for all.

Four candidates for speaker have thus far emerged:
Enoch M. Rahn-Ransomed Individuals
Jeffery Pearce-United Massachusetts
Donald Trump-Texasa*
Dennis Rupert-Stellonia

*Because he is not a citizen, Texasa's legitimacy to run is being questioned.

Rise, Election, and Fall of St. Peter

Right to Life has had all kinds, from staunch conservatives to strong liberals. All united under the common pro-life cause. But there is one that makes the RTL history books, a nation by the name of Patrimony of Saint Peter, a friendly likable fellow who quickly captured the interests of Right to Life through his straightforward and frank manner. After only residing in RTL for a few months, he won the presidential election. Peter was a strong believer in the free market and worked hard to deregulate the RTL economy. Many in the region took a liking to him, even those who had fundamental disagreements with his ideas. Unfortunately shortly after the 2015 Christmas holidays, it became evident that Peter's nation would cease to exist. After waiting many days past the official deadline for removing inactive government officials, the founder remorsefully decided that he could wait no longer and was required to remove Peter as president. A few weeks later, Patrimony of Saint Peter ceased to exist.

Presidential Replacement

After Patrimony of Peter went inactive as president (see above), the constitution of RTL placed the founder in charge of choosing a replacement. It has been common tradition to allow the senior senator the option of taking the presidency, in this case, Senator The rouge Christmas state (RCS). However, RCS declined. As he explained, "I was offered the Presidential position by Culture of Life (the regional founder), but I declined the offer due to being too busy to fulfill the position's duties." After a long deliberation, the founder decided to appoint the second place finisher of the previous presidential election, Pan-Celtic Nation (PCN). PCN accepted the position and is now currently serving as RTL president.

NOTE: I added RCS' quote above.
