Region: A Liberal Haven

History

After the production of sharkdog hybrids, we have other news about our nacional animal:

With the popularity of shark racing in Islas Tropicanas booming, the growing number of retired racing sharks being abandoned on the streets has become harder to ignore. As irresistibly cute pictures of sad-looking sharks fill up the pages of newspapers, the time has come for government action.

So it is the question, what we can do with a sad-lookings sharks abandoned on the streets ?

Friendly Wanderer. Just on a walk about.

I've begun my annual reactivation of my nation for April Fool's Day.

Welcome back Alevuss!

We are looking to strengthen our diplomatic ties with our neighbors in the Social Liberal Union. Do we have any nations interested in becoming an ambassador? Looking for an active nation who can be active in regional discussions while representing the interests of A Liberal Haven. The opportunity to have a big say in the future of relations between our two regions can be in your hands, the ambassador would be responsible for working with SLU to propose a written alliance between us. If interested please contact me on this board or through telegram.

Welcome Diffteria! Also, any takers on the ambassador position?

Welcome! And mmm, waffles...

waffles?WHERE?!?

Ask Snooponia, I think he's holding out on us! Is everyone ready for NationStates favorite holiday? Just 5 days away! Check out the News section for a new post from Max Barry - very simple one - "Regions Will Fall/April 2013". Can't wait!

I can't wait for Regions will fall!It's totally obvious what will happen in April!

regions will Fall - sure but April is in Spring..

Garchyland is closing it's borders due to reports of a rapid flu-like virus spreading from nation to nation in isolated regions. Please check NationStates news for more information. April Fools is upon us!

With just under 2,000,000 remaining uninfected Alevians, we ask if there are any nations in the region currently fairing well against the virus. If so, we ask: Will you give asylum to any of our citizens? It is in hours such as this that unity and cooperation among nations are of the utmost necessity.

-Provisional Alevian Government for National Salvation

Good job Alevuss - you did a much better job than most of us! Garchyland had a little over 98% infected and another nation of mine suffered even greater losses.

77.-th Ice Hockey Championship just finished. Gold medal for Sweden. I know, that Garchyland do not like Sedin brothers too much, but in fact they played just Perfectly on the Championship - specially they were unbelievable during Power-Play ! Silver medal is for Switzerland. They also played very well (whey won all matches except for the last one). In the match with USA (bronze), they not just won, but they were clearly much better - much more shots on goal, much more time in the attacking zone. This was really surprising.

The only reason I don't like them Tropicanas is because I feel threatened by them :)

My own team (Bruins) is in the second round of NHL playoffs actually. Have an important game tonight, we're 2-0 against the NY Rangers right now.

I'm also surprised the US did so well since when it comes to IHL games and such usually our best players go back to Sweden, Czech Repub., Slovenia, CANADA, etc.

As for the Sedins (who put up a good fight with the Canucks against us in 2011) I can only say that they were defeated in the first round :) good thing, they helped Sweden a bunch from what you're saying!

Well, USA was so good also because Paul Stastny was the captain (and also the best player of the team) - and he is a Slovak origin (His Father Peter Stastny was a famous player in NHL - now is a member of European parlament in Strasbourg). ;)

But much more surprising was the good play of Switzerland (lets see if they will keep on the top in next years). Slovakia had weaker team this year - spacially we missed very much Zdeno Chara from Boston !!! :P

Slovenia (the former Yougoslavian country, close to Meditteran see), was on last position, therefore fall out from the division A. Their only very famous player I remember is Kopitar (LA). SLOVAKIA - (the central European country - a part of the former Czechoslovakia), was 8-th this year (not so good after the silver in last Year). But unfortunatelly, Slovakia has very few young prospects recently - the future of Ice-Hockey here is not very optimistic - I think.

This looks like a nice place..

And the Bruins take the Eastern Conference and head to the Stanley Cup!

It's been almost a decade since this region was founded!

An impressive milestone !

August 7 th will be a Great day!

Hello everybody! I am the new ambassador to your region from the Social Liberal Union, and am greatly looking forward to my stay in this amazing, historical region. If you have any questions concerning the The SLU feel free to telegram this nation or my main nation, Shwalandia. Here's to continued warm relations between our regions!

Thank you for your time,

Shwalandia, Official Ambassador from the Social Liberal Union, posting as The New English States

Greetings! Thank you for your service to SLU and vicariously to ALH! You are more than welcome to make yourself at home, and if you have any good topics for discussion feel free to start! Current world events is usually a good place to start!

Garchyland

Thank you for the warm welcome Garchyland!

I have been greatly enjoying my stay here.

Happy 10 years, everyone. I can't believe it's been this long since ALH was created - to 10 more! Cheers!

This is a very inactive place.

Hello people. Just stopping by on my exploration of the world. You guys have a not-very-endorsed delegate and no founder, so I reccommend that at least one of you check out the banlist of Coffee House-- it contains the names of some 50 known raider puppets.

Post by Prez Thompson suppressed by a moderator.

Like seriously, how long do you spend running around looking for left-ideology regions with not very endorsed or active members? These people have actually done nothing to you.

I've been on NS forever and have a very good relationship with the Mods. They do their job well so I let people say what they want and then wait for the "social contract" to kick in - then the authorities come! Happy that at least spurned some chatter here, a lot of you missed our ten year anniversary a month ago!

Hey everyone! So do you guys have liberal discussion threads or is most of our discourse within the RMB?

It appears a Zombie Apocalypse is looming over us? I believe we should coordinate our efforts to resolve the issue in a more organized manner than April 1st of 2013. We of Alevuss propose the following courses of action.

-Have the regions with large populations combat the zombies while those with smaller nations will research potential cures, as it is likely that the disease will have far more devastating effects on smaller nations.

-Direct the zombies to another nation (if this remains an option for the coming apocalypse). A minority of nations, preferably with large populations (so as to draw out how long it may take for them to be overtaken), will accept the zombies into their territories where they will then:

---Embrace the zombies in the hopes of containing them into select areas while other nations research.

---Research a cure based off the diverse pools of incoming zombies.

--Meanwhile, the nations with large populations who are not being sent zombies or sending them out to others will research a cure.

Before it is proposed, Alevuss will not support the immediate extermination of citizens, particularly due to it being in violation of the regional policy, stating our commitment to world peace via "achieving...non-violent solutions to problems" and "a healthy environment". Such a solution, we argue, will also violate our policy of tolerance for those of different ethnic backgrounds, as these zombies possess the genes of their fellow citizens, while also having the genetic modifications associated with the condition of zombiism.

Fifteen hours into the apocalypse, we will be open to talks regarding the extermination of zombies through militarism if solutions seem to show symptoms of drastic failure.

-Ronald H. Tarnott, Head of Foreign Affairs of Alevuss

Hendrixia is initially reluctant to exterminate zombies as long as a possible cure remains viable. However, due to our large population and the risk posed to our smaller neighbors, we will switch to a military response if infection reaches above 35%. Good luck to all.

- I.M. Sarcastic, Defense Minister of Hendrixia

I worry that our region does not have an adequate military to respond with. For example, Garchyland, a nation of over 13 billion, offers less than 1% in military spending. Over 99% is spent in social welfare, education, and the sciences. I feel the best joined effort would be for all nations to research a cure as early as possible. I will also lockdown the region beginning now. Please message me with questions or ask them here. I'm all ears for suggestions.

I was under the impression the apocalypse was going to take place on Halloween and so I didn't take any preventive measures today. My apologies if Hendrixia's zombies ate your country.

Hendrixia - I had the same issue!

Just wanting to share that I am loving life in this fine region <3

Greetings ALH,

This is Kanoria of the Social Liberal Union. As I have recently been appointed Foreign Minister, I will be acting as interim ambassador to all our Allies until suitable candidates come forward. Please address all queries or comments to this nation. Thank you.

Kanoria

Thank you, and welcome Kanoria! And thanks for the kind words about the region, Novacimun!

Thank you Garchyland. I will be looking to catch up with the region fairly soon (within a week), is there a contact procedure I should be aware of? Or a minister I should telegram?

The link on the message board didn't work. What should I do?

Welcome Liberalus. You know, for a nation with "liberal" in it's name, your education policies are rather right wing.

Hey ALH! Happy new year from the SLU!

I aim to be the most liberal nation ever, how do I change my stance on education.

It will probably happen in an issue. Be sure to answer the issue in the way you want, because that's how your nation will behave.

Hello my liberal brethren! We are sexually liberated, mind altering, happy nation of Hakio!

Good afternoon, folks. I'm the Senate Majority Leader.

Well, obviously. Did you think that Addy Boy was going to help me retire?

I'm here to spend time with my constituents, and be liberal. Because being liberal is pretty awesome.

I feel weird here, as this is a nation that has opposite political views to me...

Please check out our new poll (above).

The link to the forum isn't working. Help?

What should I do for this issue below?

The Issue:

Following his purchase of a large plot of land in the middle of Sorbenia City, Samuel Dada, the heir to a fortune made on the back of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, has begun his conversion of the property into a vast and unusual mansion. Busybodies are in an uproar at the design, however, which they claim is everything from "out of social context" and "bizarre" to "just plain ugly".

The Debate

1.) "This monstrosity must be torn down immediately!" claims local harridan and book-club member, Mia Stand. "The trees in the garden spell a frightening word from the balcony; and the tower looks like a - a - well, you know! Mr. Dada's mansion may be his own, but the government must intervene in the name of taste and common decency. There should be a licensing organisation to approve all future renovations of buildings, lest we be plagued by these architectural abominations."

2.) "Come on... it's my house, fer chrissakes," bemoans Mr. Dada, lounging on a sun-deck outside his home, elaborate cocktail and trophy-wife close by. "Surely I can do what I like to my own stuff? Like that time I painted my third car violet - that was cool, wasn't it? Don't you just hate it when someone bumbles over - I bet you know just what I mean - and starts tellin' you what to do? Man, I hate that. So, look, right, let's just go inside, have a drink, and forget this whole thing ever happened."

3.) "Why is this even a national debate?" asks the obviously strung-out and possibly hungover bureaucrat, Abraham Wu, mumbling, "It's just a waste of time... Look. Whatever you do, you're going to be unpopular. Why don't you just dodge the bullet? Let local authorities decide - and even decide if it's their job to decide. That way you don't annoy anyone, and, hey, I'm sure there's some bunch of local government advocates who'll love you for it. Now. Can I go home? Please?"

4.) Dismiss Issue

RIP Pillars of Laak. One of the 4 veteran nations I can think of (myself included). Always sad to see a CTE. He's been back one before so hopefully it happens again.

That'd be in 2 months, not years. This is 3, in two years. - or at least according to the WFE.
