Nice flag Elixir, I don't really think a change of flags was needed, the symbol was the same but with different colors. Quite hard to mix up, anyways that new flag is awesome too. o/ MK o/ Elixir

Chief Kachina: Speaking with the interest and opinions of every Katanese. We would like to thank the world for accepting our independence and welcoming us in the political world. We have rooms in our National Hall for diplomats from other nations. The United Katan would also like to announce that, there shall be no building of specific buildings to act as embassies for exterior diplomats. We do not want to damage the environment more by building stuff that can be placed in an already created building. Along with the positive effects towards environment, diplomats will also live in the same building as the government of United Katan allowing a quicker communication in times of need. Thank you again for accepting our independence.

The United Territories of Katan The sun shined on the town as Ahmik made his way through the deserted downtown area. Ahmik stopped his car in front of an electrical appliance sell. As he opened the door to the store, his eyes landed on a crowded store. The store was quiet apart from the sound of the door opening. A young women made a motion with her hand for Ahmik to come over. Not waiting any longer, he made his way as quietly as possible to the young female. Once he was standing beside her, he whispered in her ear. "Did I miss anything?" The girl waved her head in a no motion. He soon brought his eyes to the TV screen in front of them as they watched attentively an empty staged that had been set up in front of the city hall. The camera soon showed a woman accompanied by five men's onto the stage. Each men were wearing clothes that represented their different tribes. Ahmik couldn't remember there names nor could he remember what tribe they were representing. He had never gotten interested in the tribes history. To him, it only made him remember how much they were outdated compared to the neighboring nations that could easily overrun them. As the men and women took a seat on stage, another men came onto the stage and towards the microphone. It took him a few seconds before he opened his mouth, no words came out of his mouth and he soon shut his mouth again before turning around. He seemed to be peering at the Chiefs behind him. The only Chief that Ahmik knew about gave a nod with his head before the man turned around. This time, he opened his mouth and he spoke. "Dear Katanese, today is a day that will go down in our history. It's a day that our ancestors will be proud of us. Today is a day that we make the spirits of this world happy. For today is the day that the Chiefs reunite themselves to form one tribe. This unification shall overcome the challenges that the spirits lay ahead of us. It is with great pleasure that I present you our government members." The presenter took a few seconds before presenting the Chiefs to the television and the crowd in front of the stage. In the store, cheers had been screamed as the people had smiles on their face. For Ahmik, it meant having a better life. A life under an independent nation and not tribes. A nation where his kids would be able to grow up safely without fearing an attack from neighboring powers. The presenter soon started to speak again and the store became quiet again. "Chief of Military will be Chief Akecheta, Chief of Foreign Matters will be Chief Kachina, Chief of Environment will be Chief Kwahu, Chief of Economy will be Chief Etenia and lastly Chief of Internal Matters will be Chief Ohitekah. May these Chief bring honor, pride and safety to our nation. We are the Katanese people of United Territories of Katan. May you scream Katanese with pride as you walk down the streets! May our neighbors offer us peace and the right to independence! May the spirits also light up our sky with their glorious light dances tonight!" The speech came to an end as the crowd arose in cheers. The Chiefs waved their hands at the crowd while people were chanting a song that had been sung many times in the historical rituals held by all the tribes. Today was a new beginning for each Katanese, a day where they would be equal to the rest of the world. The store was filled with cheers and old people were in tears as a dream had just been achieved. A dream that had been held by the ancestors to the new generations. A dream that had unified the tribes to achieve it and here it was. This day was going to be in the mind of each Katanese for the rest of their lives. (OOC: Making it short, this is a Native American based nation. The government type is Oligarchy, only the descendants of the different Chiefs can earn their spot on the government. Their religion is mostly Animism and they keep to their traditions.)

Congratulations MA on the milestone. May you complete the next one in less amount of time

Dear Blog, Many people are afraid of change, afraid of having their normal routine leave out the window. For me, my CN life took a drastic turn these past few days. From being promoted to Wolf Tracker and South Wind. Both of these changes that I had no past experience in. Me who used to be Deputy East Wind, I always was in foreign affairs. To find myself in charge of newcomers in Aurora Australis & Borealis was a major change of direction for me. At first I was a bit scared that I wasn't the one for the job. Why would I be, I never was one who was good to greet and teach newcomers in the alliance. I barely even talked to the newcomers. I was also preoccupied with masking foreign diplomats and visiting other alliances forums instead of greeting our new members. I was even called an !@#$%^& by one of the previous members, considering that I barely show 'love' to new members, I understood where that 'insult' so to speak came from. It didn't really hurt me cause I didn't care how the new members looked at me. I was there to do my job and nothing more. My job didn't consist of being nice to newcomers and so I never took the time to appreciate new members. For me, I loved the older members. The clique that had been in the alliance longer then I, the ones who I thought mattered for the alliance survival. Sadly these past few weeks I have seen something I never saw before. A majority of these old members I saw as the essential for the survival of the alliance were showing more and more inactivity on the forums. I tried finding ways of reviving them and making them active on the forums. Nothing seemed to work till I understood the reason. Our forums were not in need of revamps or new games. All they were in need of was fresh blood and fresh blood came from those people who I never cared for. We needed the activity of the small members and the new members coming in. Their ideas were probably what would revive activity upon us. So when I was proposed to take charge of the Aurora Australis program, I was glad to accept it. If I would have been proposed a few weeks ago, I would have said no but considering what I learned. It was my chance to maybe bring positive change to the alliance. Get the new members to stay active and part of our community. Along with the newspaper I was doing for the alliance, my work in the North Wind as Commander and my job as Deputy East Wind. I took these connections to try and find things to do for the younger members. In my time at the East Wind, I had been able to open up an Apprentice Diplomat rank which allowed these new members a chance to earn experience and learn the ways of the East Wind in diplomacy while being supervised. A few days after my promotion to Wolf Tracker, I was again given a promotion to South Wind. I was now in charge of the Internal Affairs of Aurora Borealis. These promotions were giving me the best of my chances at creating an active community again. Making the boards more interesting and hopefully keep our members active on them. All in all, the wind blows us around and I will not stay furious that I moved away from my comfortable area. Instead I'll take my chances in my new environment and try to make the best out of it. If I fail then I am sure the winds will blow me away just like it blew me in. Changes happen and if we stay furious at these changes then we will miss our new chances. I don't want that happening to me and with this, I leave this blog entry to go and work on new stuff for the South Wind. Sincerely, Farore (Sea_Junky)

Congrats to the members who got promotions.

Friendly Bump, hope you success with the UNS.

Good luck to both of you in your Real Life problems or task. Also good luck to the people who got promotions or changes.

It's quite hard to keep us on the first page isn't it. Friendly bump from AB's Deputy East Wind. Give us a try, we're a great community and we'll make you grow. Look at our average strenght per nation!

Congratulations Yukon Confederacy and to the people who got a promotion.

Friendly Bump from another Northern Alliance and friend of Yukon Confederacy.

Sad but necessary, Benji your a great guy. Hopefully you'll continue to learn and become better.

Congrats MA on your spam victory. (:

Them being attacked will just show them the true nature of the game. Teach them a lesson that they can learn from and use in the future. That lesson would be too make sure of the happenings around the alliance you want to join. Not attacking these members can become a problem as the Jarheads government will ask them to attack back and help them. In the end you'll be stuck with destroying them anyways. If a member is truly interested in the game, even if they were destroyed they probably will stick around and give a shot with another alliance instead.

That's nice seeing you guys not canceling the treaty you have with them even if they seemed to have done something that would have brought immediate cancellation. The Oceanic Alliance will hopefully not do the same mistake again. Anyways good move Athens and it's very honorable of you guys. OA are hopefully proud of having you guys as allies.

Congratulations guys and good job too.

Congratulations to both parties.

Congrats to both parties involved.

Nice changes Hick, it's awesome. Also just like Nitroburn stated, give AB a try. We offer a haven for everyone, as long as you respect our principles and simple rules.

Congratulations to both parties. Good luck to TPF and Huang in the future.

Congratulations, I hope you good luck in the future.

Congrats guys!
