Count yourself lucky. Voting is compulsory in Australia. You find when it's compulsory politicians don't need to do as much as they know every three years we will all have to vote again. A few promises during election time and than not much to they have to make some new promises the next time.

I know in the USA it comes down to a small number of states. Over here comes down to a small number of swing electorates. Otherwise not much changes overall.

Only if you get rid of early voting. Early voting is becoming a joke.

Libervalley wrote:For me personally “providing” is the wrong word. We aren’t obligated to provide a thing. The real question is how does a government keep people self sufficient and prosperous?

The aim is to get the impoverished out of their current state and make them self sufficient, the objective is an independent individual who is self responsible. The solution to poverty is not necessarily the welfare state.

The problem is also the culture constructed around the population, does it emphasis collectivism or individualism? Has state said that individual accomplishments get them in no upward direction? So the gradually lose motivation?

Libervalley wrote:Corporations will buy political power regardless as long as the power keeps growing in D.C.
Unions do the same with candidates. They buy up political power as if nothing stands in their way, no to mention the levels of corruption in their organizations.

Also I'm assuming the FCN Olympic committee isn't as selfish as the IRL IOC, and gives Noorderstein a generous amount of Olympic revenue for being a good little host city (not to mention cash earned from taxes in the brief economic boost)

If they don't, Aeternitatia will gladly foot the rest of the bill. We have allocated a huge sum of money to fund any and all major international sporting competitions. We offer to help pay if we are invited to or if we feel the competition greatly benefits those who are involved.

Consider this our offer.

Our Head Delegate/ Ambassador needs to go and investigate these claims that have been made about the Union of Allied States by their former President and Vice President.

If found to be true and their fudging the Constitution to attempt an illegal power grab and restrict freedoms, the ADP calls for us to break ties with the region and form new ties with the Democratic Union.

Please note the coup did happen and we do not deny that, though the new democratic constitution is restored afterwards, and thus UAS is currently democratic. I am in fact one of the person who left UAS due to the coup, but after the release of the new constitution, I returned.

And it was stated in the press release, that many returned nations are bullying the now ex President and Vice President? Were you given a role in government for you to return?

That the new constitution has 1 justice for life instead of 3 that change around. Having one is very undemocratic. The press release also stating the new Constitution has stripped rights away.

I love this region Federation Of Conservative Nations . I arrived in this region with some reluctance,because my region I resided Libertas Nova disbanded . Libertas rebuked me completely. it's kinda a long story of kinda a train of unfortunate timings about a morality debate dealing with homosexuality and what further hurt me where my nation-states laws based off the old Testament. some of the laws needed editing and where meet with hostility of course. Well, I smile upon this region for willing to accept the individual player who possibly might be gay, Muslim Jewish, etc. Yet they are able to keep their moral compass and keep relative freedom of speech and stick to its old fashion doctrine and values . I ask support from the region that I immigrated and called my home if you will try to catch me when I am violating my rule at no getting back on nation-states until l I finish up my goals in life. im right now watching my favorite TV show called mysteries at the museum right now and on Sunday I will be visiting my grandparents and on Saturday night watching the musical cats good bey

Rossiya Osnovnyye okay I did not say that homosexuality was a physical or mental disease I did, however, say it was a plague on our society. It is extremely foolhardy that a region of people chooses the LGBT political/cultural force as its doctrines and values it chooses to hold. ps with Tabatha Brumbaugh there was a misunderstanding there was a typo the error was her mother had sex with her .no! what I truly meant to type she had sex with her girlfriend. we were never enemies and I found her a very interesting, nice timid quite yet exclusive person. my personal laws for my nation-state if you don't like it that's fine. but I truly would think you would find my politics in the real world more tolerable and suiting here you go + at the time my parents were heading for a divorce, but later decided not to. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1067521 https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1047115 the presidents I prefer .. last, there is next to no fear I will ever get an std because I live in a well-developed nation the united states and I don't use bad needles and I'm a virgin until I find my wife who likely will be a virgin until we marry.
