If a user created region has no nations at update it ceases to exist and the name becomes available for new regions. Using the time afforded by getting two spurious proposals to vote ahead of the current liberation the raiders acquired enough influence to password the region and them eject every nation from it. At the point it ceased to exist a new region with the same name was created by the raiders. There is an art to timing this so as to prevent anyone else beating you to it and acquiring the name for their own new region. This is essentially the same process the old constitution called for in the event of Errinundera CTEing.
It's standard practice with destructive raids because it lets the victors keep a trophy, displayed via an embassy with the invaders' main region. In the case of politically motivated raids (anti-fascist or anti-communist for example) it also blocks the future use of ideologically significant names.
All the current liberation will do is make it impossible to password the new region called The Mystical Council, which achieves nothing as it has a founder and is lost to its original community. It now has only symbolic value. The destruction of the region cannot be undone.

JAIR BOLSONARO DENIED RE-ENTRY TO BRAZIL BY PROTESTORS BLOCKING AIRPORT
Jair Bolsonaro was found guilty of war crimes and violating the Convention on Human Rights after an 8-month long trial at The Hague, in which many former ALF fighters and indigenous people testified against him.
However, he was controversially allowed to return to Brazil after the ICJ decided that they didn't have enough reason to detain him, even though they certainly had the resources to do so.
After word broke out that he was going to make a return to Brazil, mass protests broke out across the country and over 200,000 people stormed the Brasilia International Airport and took over the tarmac, preventing his airplane from making a landing. The plane then attempted to make an emergency landing at the Goiania International Airport, but that was also denied by an equally large amount of protestors there as well.
After it was soon made clear that they wouldn't have enough fuel to make it to the next un-occupied airport (which was thousands of kilometres away), they had to make another emergency landing at the Itaipu Airport in Hernandarias, Paraguay.
Bolsonaro called on the Brazilian Military to "restore law and order to Brazil and allow a safe return for me and my colleagues" but the protestors are staying put. Over 3 million people in total have occupied the 20 largest airports in the country and are setting up barricades to keep the military out.
Jane Farroway, the current President of the People's Ecological Union of the Nation of Ecologists (shortened to PEUNE) is giving her full support to the protestors and is willing to donate the leftover weapons that the ALF used during the civil war. She says "it is now time for the People of Brazil to free themselves from the illegitimate Bolsonaro regime and to continue the fight for liberation that was started by us a decade ago."
Only time will tell if this will result in the overthrow of the Bolsonaro dictatorship or if it will instead simply result in an even greater suppression of democracy.

Oof, that's really unfortunate. :-(
So it's example No. 3567 for why raiding should just be eliminated from the game, and also example No. 2345 for why regions which lack a Founder either need to be "too big to fail" or else simply have to hide behind a password, and that only the one by whom the password is set knows. Raiding has never irritated me as much as it has in the past few months.

At the very least, it seems at least one of the raiders was, ahem, kind enough to save the entire RMB history in case anyone wishes to have a copy of it. So at least the history is in tact. But unfortunately I haven't the foggiest where the community's gone.
That's not to mention how they got away with it, but that's a separate story I won't get too deeply into. Suffice it to say it was dirty tactics through and through, and once again I'm thrilled I'm no longer a raider.

A new poll on topical events. Should other countries send troops to defend Ukraine?
Feel free to expand here on your response, but please let's keep it reasonable and respectful.

With the poll. I don't want countries themselves to send their troops. I want volunteers to be allowed to go to Ukraine to help.

For the poll, I wish there was an option to say that they should have sent troops previously but now should not.
My view is that troops should have been sent preemptively before Putin's invasion (of course assuming that Ukraine gives their consent), so as to dissuade Putin from invading. These troops however should have received clear directions not to engage in warfare, and be there primarily to train Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in military tactics, and to help deliver weapons and resources to Ukraine.
However, now that Putin has invaded it is more serious, as we do not want to start a world war. So any country that possesses nuclear weapons should not go to war with Russia, and states without nuclear weapons could go to war but should make it clear that they do not want to start a wider conflict.
Of course, all countries, regardless of nuclear-status, should still send support, including weapons, money, food, medicine, and blood donations, and should share military intel with Ukraine and accept Ukrainian refugees. But I think the time to send troops has passed, and in order to avoid WW3 troops should not be sent at the moment.
I too am actually curious about the rationale here. I understand that this could be seen as spam on the RMB and advertising for the video linked, but to be fair this post was trying to spread hope that Ukraine may survive another day, so I'd say that an exception should be made for this post.
Of course Ruin I trust your judgement, I'm just curious as to your thoughts on this post

My controversial take is that yes, yes, yes they should.
Putin would very much like the rest of us to believe he's insane, but he's not. If the largest military alliance of all time rampaged into Ukraine, Russia's largely-conscripted and brainwashed troops would either retreat immediately or be beaten out.
If NATO does nothing to defend a European country and prospective ally, on the other hand, the world is about to be a much worse place. Particularly for anybody attempting to buy a semiconductor right now...

I believe it was actually suppressed by moderators, and I know that there was a large crackdown on similar-looking posts in the Ukraine thread around the same time, so it could potentially be related. But, that is only a guess.
Jutsa, Ruinenlust, and Middle Barael
I didn't have anything to do with it, actually. When 
Forest Virginia brought it up, I looked to see if I had accidentally suppressed the post, but then it turned out that it had been zapped by a moderator.

My view of Brazilian politics is wild bc it took me rereading this post and seeing your nation for me to definitively go “ah so this isn’t irl then”, bc there were actual, irl proposals to have him charged w/ war crimes (ecocide/the effects of that on other nations) c. 2 years ago, so I wasn’t sure if the “ALF” was NS lore or just smth I couldn’t find a mention of

I am deeply conflicted here... my first thoughts were we (primarily speaking of the US though it applied to much of the world too) are under no obligation to defend Ukraine and I would prefer that we not act as the world's police especially considering the recent withdrawal from Afghanistan. Yet as I have seen the brave everyday citizens and politicians of Ukraine taking up arms and willing to die for their freedoms, my heart breaks for them. Their willingness to die has me leading towards these people deserve help. I also fear that allowing Russia to get away with this will embolden them to continue to be aggressive.
My current vote is "No but Russia's actions are unjustified". With that said, should a country (US or other) decide to send troops, I would support that decision.
At first I wondered if that was you or someone on our shelf but then I realized it had been suppressed in another region too.

also i have a question why does nato not send volunteers to ukraine? i mean they did in almost every conflict that i knew of
Sending national troops to Ukraine would lead to even more casualties and spark a bigger war, like never before. As much as it hurts to admit, the only way out of this mess it to step back and take precautionary measures in other regions Putin might possibly invade next. Ukrainian war is lost, and lost for the both sides.

If we send troops to Ukraine, we may be sparking a much larger conflict with more bloodshed than what is going on now. I believe sanctions are the correct idea, but they need to be very severe if they're going to have a lasting effect on Russia. Also to note, sitting back and doing nothing is also a bad idea, because that's what happened in the years going into WW2, and that led to the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia by the Germans.

Update on topic: Ukraine now officially invites foreigners willing to fight for it.

I am a proud pacifist, and I think war is a scourge on our planet. At first I was of the view that we in the west should be bolstering our NATO allies, and sending supplies to Ukraine etc.
My view has now changed. I think we now need to stop Putin with whatever means are necessary, and if that means war then so be it. He is never going to be satisfied with Ukraine, and he is already threatening Sweden and Finland. People always say references to Hitler are not relevant, but the west sat back when he took Czechoslovakia. I don't think we should wait for whatever country is our modern day Poland.
Liberal democracy and freedom from tyranny needs to be defended.
