Does Little Upsilon Really Have A World Government?

I've been reading through the forums lately and keep coming across references to the NLUO World Government, as well as a federation called Hydra and something about a dispute they went through recently. Could someone please explain what these organisations are and what role they are currently playing on Little Upsilon? For the benefit of less experienced players, who are not familiar with all the details of how Little Upsilon's organisations work, and the state of play of Little Upsilon.

Tom, don't you listen to the wicked old witch of Simcountry.

The NLUO was started by King Heziakah to get players to join together to co-operate in peace and prosperity, a very nice ideal. But, he went about it wrong, having very poor diplomacy and understanding of the game and its players. In fact things went so wrong that Hydra federation was formed to challenge NLUO and give players a freer option. NLUO were very oppressive. Anyways, to cut a long story short, after a few skirishes between them, NLUO backed down as Hydra far out powered them in experience and military hardware.

So, up to date, NLUO still exists and continues its mission to have everyone play under their rules, and so do Hydra, allowing players to play as they want. NLUO still have the ideals of unity I believe whereas Hydras existence is more to keep them on their toes and mentor anyone who wishes to play in their own way.

So that's about my view of it, impartial as I always am. Hope it enlightens you some.

The NLUO has NEVER been an oppressive organization, nor has it EVER had the means to be oppressive.

IN FACT, we're so non-oppressive, we even let traitors and defectors to the enemy return to the government with amnesty. Hydra now holds offices in the NLUO as well.

Oppressive, I think not. Where are you people dreaming this stuff up from?

Put simply, there isn't a definite "world status" at the moment. Both sides are telling their side of the story, and refusing to let the other one have any merit. I'm leaning towards believing Hydra now, since everything NLUO puts out seems to be utter garbage. They seriously need a good PR rep, or perhaps even the expulsion of Heze.

Shouldn't have to wait long for a response in the form of a token Lord Lee "don't listen to them; they're wrong wrong wrong" statement or a King Heze "we love Wendy, she can make coloured letters" love poem. :)

Hmmmmm, well as far as I can gather from the debate I have seen unfold in front of my eyes right here, Little Upsilon politics is a variant of Earth between 1945-1989. When the world was dominated by two main factions and populated by many neutral nations, the Allies and the Communists. Except now it's the NULO, Hydra and unaligned neutral nations, I'm still yet to decide who is the USA and who is the USSR. In the meantime it seems to me that Little Upsilon is in the midst of a cold war and a monumental power struggle between the great federations of NULO and Hydra.

Tom, here is the difference.

Note: I am a member of both the NLUO government and of Hydra.

NLUO: Is not a fed. It aspires to be a world government but currently it is difficult to consider it as such as it lacks enough representation from around LU. There is some debate on how to further legitimize the government. I prefer a softer approach.

It does have a good number of new players to the game currently and I have volunteered to help teach the economic game to its members. Five of my articles are available on the treasury forum that can greatly help new players. I also have assisted some players personally in chat and through in-game messages.

Hydra: Is a federation and a very powerful one. Search the forum for the "Federation Stats" to see the top feds on LU. Hydra's strength is it has active veteran players who are very helpful in the war game.


If you are getting started on LU, I would recommend joining the NLUO and take advantage of the community and resources there. You can choose to leave your fed options open and will unlikely need one until war level 3.

Thank you Aries, and everyone else who has helped explain the State of play on Little Upislon. I would like to take this moment to declare my neutrality in the political struggles on Little Upislon. I will not (as yet) be joining any political group. I am however, happy to assist in the improvement of our planet and wish to work with other players and build relationships with Presidents and CEOs. For anyone who may wish to get in contact with me, My Nation is The United Nation of Progress and my Enterprise is Wealth Enterprise.

Yours Neutrally and Cooperatively, President & CEO Tom Fitzpatrick, I look forward to working with you all in the future.

Aries is a very smart economic player Tom, who spends a lot of time working things out. Reading his advice would probably be one of the best things you could do as a new player.

Why Hez dreams up these mad titles for people in the NLUO I have no idea, I guess he thinks it makes them sound more 'official'. So Aries being a good econ player is probably why he is called treasurer, previously it was Lord Lee... well, nuff said there.

You could also look to Josias of Hydra who would have the same title I suppose if Hydra had such a thing. Josias can also show you how to make your stuff very profitable.

Some in the NLUO want to be a 'world government' instead of a federation. The 'experiment' has been a failure. Kinda like the first female to tryout for the NFL earlier this year.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWqK5ji7BpQ

After her 2 kicks which traveled a whole 19 and 13 yards she says she got injured, but like one of the comments for the video said...

No way in hell cankles ever played sports competitively. She just set women back 20 years. Don't be surprised if women lose their right to vote because of this.




Well sad to say, the NLUO will have to work very hard to 'prove' itself. Some in the NLUO have set the government back 20 years. It can be done, but there has been much damage.

P.S. Ladies no offense, there are certain things men cant do either... like have babies! LOL, man I better stop myself as Im not making and progress here!

Well I never wanted the NLUO to be a world government anyway but made up of a few federations of strong players keeping the other non NLUO players in check who pose a serious threat. My idea would be to create 5 federations which would each cover 2 continents each under these names.

NLUO Northeast (Draca Mixor and Centura Donna)

NLUO Northwest (Lynx Minor and Paova Major)

NLUO Central (Eridana and Virginia Bella)

NLUO Southwest (Atilia Major and Auriga Bella)

NLUO Southeast (Hercula Major and Lacerta)

This would make it much more stronger and organized in order to police the world of who is actually part of the NLUO and whos not, compared with the current system where other players who are using their own federation names who are claiming to be part of NLUO. As this is why i'm confused of who is my ally and who is my enemy now. Which is making the whole so called world government weak because of these loose coalitions who could change alligience at any time, and we are not united enough in how the way the growing 'Hydra' and 'Sleeping Giants' feds are.

However in respect of Hezekiah, I will not change in how the way things are run at the moment unless he wishes to.

is what has been destroying the whole endeavor. Why are you guys so bent on dominating other presidents? Why do you want to 'police' the whole planet? Cant you see that this rhetoric is self-defeating?

Just be a good fed, one that takes care of its own members and looks out for its own members interest. That would serve you much better.

I echo Serpent's post. It is what I told Hezzy from the get-go. Such terminology will never lend to a peaceful existence. I for one, and my federation, will NOT be "policed" by anyone or controlled by anyone.

I do look forward to coexisting with the NLUO. But as far as the answer to #1 on the agenda of Lord Lee's "Peace Conference", the only aggressive organization that "tries" to threaten other federations or the peaceful existence of other players is the NLUO with such wrongful statements.

Serpent you took his statement out of context, and you did not post the entire thought.

I understand what you think Secretary James, but the purpose of the World government is for all nations to be able to be apart of a political Process. Maybe post this in the fed congress at the gov site, and we can debate it, and maybe pass legislation on it.

No no no no no.

NLUO is not the LU government. Its the NLUO Government. It has no control over anything outside of that, and anyone can do anything they please without any fear of NLUO doing diddly-squat.

NLUO is not elected by the people of LU. It is elected by the members of NLUO. It has no control over anything outside of that.

I think its time we sent a letter out to mental hospitals: we have a rather large collection of overly-thick psychos here. Honestly though, the thickness of some members- namely King Heze and Lord Lee- is astounding.

None of the people on this thread criticising you actually voted in the NLUO. It is a fringe organisation with several loud-mouthed players that has little to no influence on a player's individual decisions.

In order to be a world government shouldn't you have all parties of different federations on your side? Similiar to the UN?

New players like Lion aren't yet familiar to the politics and world commerce which the N.L.U.O. are central too.

For those of you who aren't in the know. The N.L.U.O. are the World Government of Little Upsilon. The reason why this is so is because King Hezekiah II and I were democratically elected by presidents from the entire planet who each had a vote to vote us in. Not only were the elections fair but lots of votes were cast by many presidents such was the interest.

The NLUO is the government of nations who want to participate in the government. The international community is just that. An international community of players some governed by the NLUO, some not. Some Federations are apart of the government, some federations are not. Some federations have players from their federations in the government or even branches of federations in the government. Do we govern the whole fed? NO!!! Why is this concept so hard to grasp?

NLUO is only looking for a fight when they say they govern LU. Wars start with words and when you try imposing laws on countries that didn't pledge their allegiance to you,there will be war. This is why Hydra (and their powerful players) stepped in. The powerful players don't like being told what to do or how to act. There are also neutral factions such as "Bad meets Evil" that are (to my understanding) still neutral in this conflict but aren't necessarily fans of a "world government" that would tell them what to do... In conclusion, NLUO better work on their PR before they try "governing the world" and they need to learn to actually enforce their "laws" if they ever want any respect. Then again, that would turn them from being wanna-be tyrants to full force New World Order Global Domination tyrants... And that always comes at the cost of potentially billions of lives and shattered nations.
