[size=150][align=center][b][region]GRAND UNION[/region]: [color=blue]A WORLD, RAW AND WILD[/color][/align][/b][/size] [align=center][img]http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/rflags/grand_union__71295.png[/img][/align] [b][align=center]A [color=red]World[/color] [color=brown]Alive[/color] [i]And Unimpeded[/i].[/align][/b]
[u][size=125][b]INTRODUCTION[/b][/size][/u]
[b][size=115][color=blue]YOU[/color][/size][/b] awaken thousands of miles above the crystalline waters of the earth. Looking at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Marble]The Blue Marble[/url] you ask yourself about the people down there. [b] "What is life like? What is humanity all about?"[/b]. Stunned and amazed at your location and your surroundings you bask in the glory of being alone in a world devoid of any company and any atmosphere; it's just you and the stars. Some time passes and the memorization melts into a stream of loneliness. The loneliness into chaotic uneasiness. You become agitated, bothered, distraught and just when you are on the brink of freaking out at the world around you, you remember the blue marble. [i]Life MUST be better down there![/i] You think to yourself. [i] I don't want to be any person, I want to be someone important! A ruler! [/i]. Your spirit jumps down on the planet and your true history begins!
Whether you are a new player looking for the ideal home, a curious gameplayer seeking drama and gossip or just curious traveller, here you could find all the news and happenings coming from Eastern Europe. Note keeping with Anarchist-Socialist tradition, this is a [i]Volunteer[/i] Press Office, representing only my own personal perspective of the region. Under Anarchist-Socialism no one 'speaks' for the region. Every person has the freedom to speak for themselves.
[u][size=125][b]OVERVIEW: A SHORT [color=red]HISTORY[/color] OF EASTERN EUROPE[/b][/size][/u]
[quote]Eastern Europe is a region with a rich and complex history, and is the birthplace of both polka and the pioneers of international socialism. Our men are acknowledged the world over as superior chess players and our technology is paving the way for an electric car for the people.[/quote]
Eastern Europe is an old and storied region, with an existence that could be traced as far back as 2003. It was [url=http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Eastern_Europe]once a successful roleplaying region[/url], but fell into decline and forced to be a battlefield to be [url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=54898]ravished between raiders and defenders[/url]. The current incarnation of Eastern Europe stemmed from a controversial civil war which [url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolutions/council=2/start=35]spiralled out to be a worldwide conflict[/url], with peace only brought about when our founder [region]Novaya Stalina[/region], after long struggle, repealed the "liberation" and successfully refounded the region for the natives in defiance of all raiders, reactionaries and their collaborationists.
Finally achieving peace and security, the survivors rebuilt Eastern Europe around two principles: 1) To create an Anarchist-Socialist Peacezone, enshrining liberty for all nations to do as they please without coercion and, 2) Reflecting the interests of its members, to develop an immersive roleplaying region.

[b][size=115]A New Covenant: An [color=red]Anarchist[/color] [color=brown]Socialist[/color] [i]Peacezone[/i][/size][/b]
Eastern Europe is inspired by real life theories of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anarchism]Social Anarchism[/url] and its application to Nationstates through [url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=199385]Peacezones[/url]. A key concept in both is the elimination of all fixed structures of power and authority, both overt (abilities given to one person over others) and convert (symbolism and perceptions of division). This was a lesson learnt from how all previous conflicts stemmed from a desire to obtain power. It is implemented by having a Founder and Delegate that is silent and inactive from all regional activities, except for securing the region from those who seek to subvert the system. They do not speak, they do not vote, they do not influence. Even the WFE is unchanged, left as a brief welcome sign to the region and a memorial to the way things once were (It has been mostly the same for at least 5 years).
As a result, nations are at absolute freedom to think for themselves or associate with others - [b]Anarchism[/b]. The region will not be led by the imposition of force or rigid institutions, but simply those most social to be able to inspire free followers - [b]Socialism[/b].

[b][size=115]A [color=green]Roleplaying[/color] Saga: Behind The Iron Curtain - [color=red]The Surveillance State[/color] & the [color=purple]Council of Free Nations[/color][/size][/b]
Under the benevolent stewardship of Novaya Stalina, through Anarchist Socialism, Eastern Europe is thriving again. Nations are arriving, and their enthusiasm is like a flower about to bloom. Some just want to casually chit-chat and answer their issues, and that's fine - despite the "communist" stereotypes, we do not regulate, and have no way of regulating how people run their nations. Others just want to make puppets, if that is what makes them happy, great. Yet others take their nation stimulation to new heights, creating some of the most in-depth factbooks you've ever seen. Regionally, some nations have taken to issue-based roleplay (at least as a starting point) of which there are two main sides, [b]The Surveillance State [/b] and the C[b]ouncil of Free Nations[/b]
[u][b]The Surveillance State[/b][/u]: In the void left by Stalina, nations bounded into ever closer to each other until it was decided to form a union to act as a giant single state. Coordinated by [nation]Prague[/nation], the Surveillance State records every single action of all members, which are then together collaborated to form a story.
[b][u]Council of Free Nations[/u][/b]: A recent development, the Council of Free Nations was formed by those who value the independence of acting as an individual nations, rather than parts of an empire. A loose coalition, members consult each other on the running of their nations and recommend courses of action to take. A "Community Nation" is also be floated as a model reference state for its members.
