New Velonia

New Velonia is the most impactful person to join TDC, seeing as he founded it. There are many jokes about NV, but deep down everybody likes and respects him, because he is very cool. 6%

## History

#### Antiquity

New Velonia was introduced to nationstates through his sister's high school civics teacher. The first message New Velonia graced upon the region was "Hello everyone :)" After this, he began welcoming nations and building up TDC's roleplay and government before an active core arrived, and worked to mold this community into what it is now. Through being friendly, New Velonia was easily able to grow the region. Eventually, New Velonia would join the AFN roleplay faction. There has been controversy, mostly raised by Landinium, on whether or not many of these early members such as Athian and Muddy Falls were puppets of NV. These claims are continually and vehemently denied by NV. New Velonia founded the progressive party and would lead it to many electoral victories before its eventual collapse due to corruption and puppetry. The progressives are credited with getting many new nations into TDC politics and also with creating one of the most lively political scenes in TDC history, with many elections between them and the libertarians almost splitting the region apart.

#### The Troubles

After the arrival of the entente, New Velonia asked then president Landinium to ban them for being puppets. Land thankfully refused instead opting for a formal investigation of the newcomers and thus leaving the entente in the region. During this time, New Velonia would serve as a senator for this time. During the Amish Crisis, NV was involved in negotiating the first Amish treaty, which TDC would not abide by soon after.

#### Exodus

During the Dawn crisis, New Velonia resigned as founder. However, after that joke, he worked on containing Dawn's influence and retaining members, keeping the region safe. Eventually, he would rule in favour of Federalist Union's return for helping spy on Dawn. He would soon become president in August of 2017 during a special election, winning 13 to 2 against FPFC. During his presidency, he worked on uniting the remainders in the region. He won a normal term after about a month, scraping a victory against Lanceshir 10 to 9. During his presidency NV would work on bringing the region to new heights in population and virtually recovering from the exodus. Foreign policy with dawn soured, but that was to be expected. New Velonia would vote against Federalist Unions as president for the two weeks in October, citing how it would be like OJ Simpson leading the region. This was ironic, said Landinium, as Fed was most like Trump, and NV had by this time become a hardcore Trumpist.

#### Recovery

After Fed's presidency ended, NV became more inactive and did nothing major.

#### The Coup

NV, due to his inactivity, had given the password of his nation to Greater Rhine and Pillow [citation needed]. However, due to contacting from America JB, Federalist Unions, and probably others, NV would log on that fateful day and unban those who were couped from the regional discord. However, because of the legal nature of the coup, he would eventually have to reverse this, banning those he had unbanned. NV was angered at those who had couped and felt betrayed as they had stolen his nation, though it was eventually returned.

#### Wasteland

After the coup, NV became even more inactive than before, leaving the region in the hands of FPFC and the entente. However, when he logged on, NV would ask for the presidency and attempt to revive TDC, though his requests were always denied. During the exodus of the entente except for pillow to the People's Republic of the Commonwealth,

#### The Return

After the return of Federalist Unions, Landinium, and the entente to the region, NV still was horribly inactive. However, after The "Democratic" Republic raided TDC, NV restored his nation and became moderately more active. During Land's first attempt at revival, New Velonia would create the National Democratic Party [citation needed] which was essentially a dixiecrat copy. During its height, the party controlled both the senate and the presidency. During the days in TDR, NV would join the entente, fed, FPFC, and Galk in gaining political power, despite being banned extrajudicially 5 different times.

#### Modern Day

Upon the establishment of the Emperor, NV was elected as a senator from his new party, His Majesty's Most Loyal Whig Party, which before being proscribed reached the heights of having one senator. NV is also a member of TDR's privy council, first serving under Lord Lieutenant Greater Rhine and now under Lord Lieutenant Taoiseach Federalist Unions. After HMMLWP were proscribed, NV would join forces with Fed to form the Scientific Populist party, which in its first election gained the plurality of seats in the senate.

## Alleged Homosexuality

There are current rumours in the region that New Velonia may be homosexual, or bisexual [citation needed]. Beginning with NV stating that "I'd rather kiss a guy" than do another face reveal, many members in TDC such as pillow and landinium, have insisted that New Velonia is not straight. Daily messaging of pillow and a suspected exchange of nudes between the pair reinforced this idea. NV has of course consistently denied these allegations, though many people still don't buy it. In July of 2019, NV insisted that he was duosexual, a sexuality he invented himself, claiming that "It's where you're straight but with a flair for passion." The only other known duosexuals in TDC and indeed, on the face of the planet are Federalist Unions and Dorport.

## Hobbies

The reason NV is so inactive is because of his hobby, doing pillow's mom.

## Future Plans

New Velonia is set to attend the University of Chicago (wow, who knew) and will be studying theoretical seduction with a minor in applied jigaloogy. He also plans to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential election, ending 3 years of Trumpism after being a Bernie Bro for numerous years.
