Red Sox Report
January 1st, 2007
RSN nations: 94
UN Delegate endorsements: 22
Posts on forum: 88,109
1. White Council Gone!
Finally after much argument the White Council has been removed. It took three General Assembly polls to get it done, and in the process many insults were hurled, and several court cases fought. Was it worth it? Only time will tell…
2. Judicial Act Reform Making Progress!
Progress is being made with regard to reforming the Judicial Act of RSN. It has been decided to split it down into four separate pieces of legislation:
1. The High Justice Responsibility Act
2. The Court Procedure Act
3. The Criminal Law Act
4. The Readmission Act
All these Acts are still being debated in the General Assembly, and there is a major dispute as to whether or not the Criminal Law Act should be split to create an additional separate Punishment Act.
3. Election Nominations Begin!
Nominations for the January 12th Elections have begun. At the current time they stand thus:
President: My Urinary Tract (2), Georgdem, Teredona, The Southern Acre (2)
Internal Affairs Minister: Teredona(4), My Urinary Tract, Georgdem
Foreign Affairs Minister: Micky(4), Winstonopia, Diesel 10
First General: Georgdem (3), The Southern Acre, Teredona, Alyss
Immigration Officer: Diesel 10 (5), Micky
High Justice: The Southern Acre (3), My Urinary Tract (2)
Nominations will close on the 3rd of January.
Presidential Address
Citizens of RED SOX NATION, I would like to draw your attention to the departure of quite possibly the greatest statesman RED SOX NATION has ever seen, and someone who I consider a close friend. He is a man that in his career in RSN laid the groundwork for the region that we love. One year ago, he came to this region, made this forum, and with myself, Winstonopia, and Urine, began the regional government. In his career he served in many government positions, including bieng the first President, serving as First General, and as Internal Affairs Minister. He also coauthored all three regional constitutions, started political parties, served as Premier of the Cellist Party, and then using his tremendous leadership abilities, drew the region together again through the Unification of the Realm Act. Beyond his monumental government exploits, he brought personality and flavor to the forum. His sense of humor and quick wit brought many a smile to many faces. And his display of writing talent brought a sense of sophistication to the region not found in many NS regions. Sometimes I think, where would the region have been without him? But then I realized the answer is simple, nowhere near where we are right now. I hope that we have not seen the last of him, and that he will return someday. But until then, good luck and godspeed Fergus my friend!

RSN Citizen In-Depth
Well, it’s that time again; time for me to invade the personal life of one of our very own RSN citizens. This weeks star is someone whose name is well known around many regions, and who has stayed dedicated to RSN since its humble beginning. It is my pleasure to welcome My Urinary Tract to the paper.
As always, I’d like to start with a bit of background on you; name, age, location, current school status, current job status, any hobbies or interests that you have, favorite color/food ect.?
James Tugley, 18, Oxford UK, languishing in year 14, unemployed.
I write and I read. I use the internet excessively. I fiddle with computers excessively. I entertain an interest in bomb making. I brew up cheap booze when I can get away with it. I like drinking and pipe smoking.
Favourite colour: Red
Favourite food: Lamb Doner Kebab
Favourite drink: Calvados
Favourite smoke: Brindle in my Red sandblast Nording pipe.
It is my understanding that you and Alyss are good friends in real life, is that correct?
Yes.
Going on the information he gave us last time about how the two of you arrived at RSN, how did you discover RSN and what made you decide to settle in here?
Win sent me an invite… I thought he was a girl, as Red Sox seemed like a girly name for a region… So I followed my dick. I had been in Alyss’ region Urda, but it was going nowhere, and when I left with my puppets Alyss followed and promptly created a forum and started organizing people.
I stayed for no real reason. Alyss was on and at first is was just out of politeness… I had ditched Alyss’ first region, so I decided not to do it again. And I had nothing better to do… The place just grew on me, I got to know people and became attached.
It has been said that, over time, RSN has gone through many drastic changes and you with it. How would you compare yourself in the beginning of RSN and yourself in RSN now?
Well, I am very different. At the beginning I was dedicated to challenging the government and creating an anarchist utopia. I created the first papers, and basically all the did was take the piss… In the end I wound up a few too many people, contributed to driving out an active member (Paul Bower) and wound up being sued for slander. I took a two month break, made a plea bargain, then came back.
I then discovered the BC and started a campaign against it. It was obviously unsuccessful. At that stage I realized that if the majority are stupid you just have to put up with stupidity. I still dislike the idea of the BC and the hidden RG area, but tbh I can’t do anything about them. I resolved instead to regulate them, and I was the architect of the Declass act. After that I went straight. Competing for govt positions, joining the RG, producing good informative papers… and here I am. I’ve done it all, and now I believe I am in my prime.
So, UTract, do you have any big plans for the up coming year?
Yes. Taking the presidency, which is really the only thing I haven’t done in RSN… Continuing to streamline and clean up our legislation… Getting on with being here, really.
RL, I shall have to get a job, do some school work and generally start organizing myself for uni… if I get in…
I am also going to make some radish vodka and produce my own beer. I want to get back into bomb making, though in a slightly less evil way. And I’m going to quit using windows once and for all.
What do you plan on focusing on in the university?
Archeology.
One more: How long do you see yourself being a part of RSN?
I see my self continuing to do everything I'm doing, but from a position of formal responsibility, and accountability. I have had it easy recently, not having to be responsible, now I think, its time I took some responsibility, so that you lot can make sure what I am doing is for the best.
And there you have it, ladies and gents, UTract in a nutshell. Thanks for reading, and look for the next piece in a few weeks for more information on our interesting members!

Not yet but I will work on getting powers to ambassadors and hopefully, we can get you the power soon!
-

Red Sox Report: Election Edition
January 8th, 2007
Inc-red-ible Fact: The postitions of IAM, FAM, IO and HJ went unopposed!
1. Government Posts Filled
Going off of the statistic above the following people won the above positions:
Deisel 10 - IO
Micky -FAM
Teredona-IAM
THe Southern Acre- HJ
Congratulations!
2. Presidential Debates: Georgdem v. My Urinary Tract
The Presidential race got off to a clean start yeterday as the two challengers both outline their plans for RSN during their term, if elected. Georgdem's major plans involve recruitment (getting and maintaining 100 nations in the region), the "fun factor", activity (encoraging residents to participate in the forums), and improving teamwork within the govenment. My Urinary Tract's plans to focus on foreign affairs and immigration among other things.
3. Who wants to be FG?
Since the people who were nominated for FG went for other posts, the office is currently vacant. A debate ensued as to whether we should wait untill the Presidential election was over and allow the loser of that to run, or restart nominations for the postition immediatly. It seems the incoming Internal Affairs Minister would have the final say.
News, Incredible Fact: Teredona
Please give me feedback, questions, comments, or suggestions. Thanks, and go Sox!

Hello lovely folks of Taijitu! Diesel 10 of RSN here (no duh). I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in playing any Fantasy Baseball with some fellow Nationstaters this summer? I know it's kind of last minute and all, but the draft is Friday, and we need some more people, so I'm extending an invitation to all of our foreign friends to join (you all being one of the first groups I bothered asking, might I add :)). If you're interested, please let me know, either through PM, Nationstates telegram, or you can just post here (http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Red_Sox_Nation/index.php?showtopic=1997&st=0). Thanks!
Oh, and is it okay if I post in your General Discussion area about this as well? I don't know how many people actually bother reading the embassies, and I'd love to have anyone who is interested join up! Thanks again.
-
I am most fond of a little insanity.
-
No one ever replied to my inquiry about posting in General. :( I'm going to just do it, I hope you guys don't mind!
-
no one will care... its GD for a reason... We don't... and I post all sorts in their - remember the zoophilia debate?
-
Oh sorry I've been away a bit and didn't notice this.
Yeah of course you can talk in our General Discussion :)
-
Even about zoophilia? or incest?
-
No, don't talk about zoophilia or incest please. <_< :P
-
Don't gross out our friends. It's not polite.
-
Thanks Tere :)
-
Don't mention it.
-
Oh I won't. What were we talking about again?
-
:-X
-
why is incest or zoophilia gross?
who are you to judge what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home?
:P
-
*sigh* James, darling, need we get into this again?
-
yes. always. until you all realise how conservative you actually are.
-
There's a difference between me being ok with it being legal in the privacy of people's homes and me being ok with thinking about it :P
-
thats pathetic
-
I'm just going to tell you to listen to your wife...
-
she doesn't know shit.
