Talk:Organisation of British Nations (1983: Doomsday)

In the last paragraph, are you saying that there is or isn't a chance of them becoming one nation? Louisiannan

Thanks for bringing that to my notice :) I've now edited the piece to make it a lot clearer. As the OBN currently consists of Woodbridge, Essex and East Britain myself and the creators of those two nations will put a whole lot more detail into the article over time Verence71 18:43, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

would it be possible for the Kingdom of Albion to have its southern boundary as the River Humber? as i think a major river would be an obvious boundary rather than just a line on a map.--Smoggy80 19:06, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

That's a question for East Britain to answer Verence71 19:45, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

i would like to ask for membership of OBN by Northumbria--Smoggy80 13:47, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

would the OBN be willing to have a Fascist state as part of the OBN? don't you think other democratic members may have problems with that?--Smoggy80 13:47, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

What I think would happen is that Scotland could ask about joining but the other states would put it's membership on the back-burner until Scotland had adopted a fully democratic system Verence71 15:44, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

East Coast Mainline
Would it be posible to rebuild some BR lines to make a new east coast mainline linking hastings to Bourne and posibly up to cleveland or northumbria?Vegas adict 21:09, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

That's definitely an idea for the future. Verence71 22:21, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Cleveland is in the process of rebuilding railway lines (as well as engines) and are reusing lines as far north as Berwick (with hopes of linking up with Glasgow shortly) and as far south as the Sheffield/Bradford/Leeds wastelands.--Smoggy80 13:45, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

A Royal Visit
I think we should invite King Andrew of New Britain round to the three core nations. Though part of the OBN's doctrine is to avoid excessive cultural distillation in the Celtic Alliance and New Britain, it can't hurt to invite the most famous Briton in the world back to his home country, and see some of the states that have rebuilt it. Basically, we would be showing the best bits of our nations to His Majesty - and also, due to the media coverage it would provide, it would act as an advert for voters in the Kingdom of Cleveland, who are due to hold a referendum on joining the OBN on October 22nd. This is the route I would propose: That's a proposal, and I'm sure you two can think of plenty more to include on the tour. But do we like the idea of a royal visit?

 * A possible visit to Southern England depending on how King Andrew chooses to travel (if he went in a boat, it would be a bit of a spiritual 'return to Britain', harking back to the Exodus).
 * Alighting in Southend, which Essex has mostly rebuilt from the ground up. He might also see the freighters we are rebuilding (indeed, if we transported him from Port Elizabeth to here in a freighter that would be saying a lot about our nations).
 * Travelling to Maldon, where Essex is constructing its two new airships. Ideally, one or both could be launched on the King's visit.
 * Following the River Chelmer into Chelmsford, to see the capital and make a speech of some sort.
 * A detour westwards to the site of the Battle of Takeley, which as we all know is where Essex defeated the TBA, showing our military strength.
 * A possible visit to Saffron Walden, though as this the site of a major defeat that might outweigh the sentiment from visiting.
 * Travelling to Haverhill, in the Codominion of West Suffolk, though only briefly.
 * A whistle-stop tour through the Codominions on our new rail line, into East Britain.
 * Stopping off at Ely to honour the graves of the Woodbridge troops near the city.
 * On towards Bourne, the capital, for another speech.
 * Possibly to the coast, and then along to King's Lynn.
 * Following the River Great Ouse southwards, passing into the Codominion of West Norfolk.
 * Into Woodbridge, possibly up to Lowestoft to see the launching of a new freighter.
 * Over to the airfields as a part of the nation's history, which is probably the only time we'll see the Stars and Stripes waving instead of the Union Flag on the entire tour.
 * Finally, into Woodbridge proper, to the capital of the OBN, to make one more, and by far the grandest speech, basically summing up how awesome our three nations are and hoping for closer trade links between the OBN and New Britain. Having the EAS Cavalier or some of Woodbridge's HC-130s flying over with confetti and suchlike, with a parade of the Royal Guardsmen and other soldiers, would be deeply gratifying and be a fitting climax to the showcasing of our nations' capabilities.
 * King Andrew then takes one of our freighters, or a New British one, back home.
