I'm happy Moore lost, and not just because of the allegations. He was very homophobic and was strictly too much of a Christian theocrat.

Had Moore won: "The Republicans elected a pedophile homophobe!"
Moore losing: "Liberals did the unthinkable and won in Alabama!"
All of this is like the Louisiana governors election of 2015. Louisianians chose a moron in John Bel Edwards over pervert David Vitter. People chose who they thought was the lesser evil, as usual, and will go back to party politics the next go round.
I'm ready for some market anarchy myself.

Yeah, I think Doug Jones has a 0% chance of being re-elected in 2020 as long as Republicans field someone who isn't a child predator. Had Luther Strange won the primary, It most likely would've been a 20 some odd percent victory for Republicans. I think that as for as the upcoming midterm elections go, this was the best outcome for republicans. If Roy Moore had won, all the 2018 banter would just be: REPUBLICANS ELECTED AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A PEDOPHILE, OH THE INHUMANITY! Anyway, I'm just glad I don't live in Alabama, because I would've had some very serious problems with voting for either candidate.

The reason Roy Moore was the Rep nominee was because Luther Strange had less popular support in the first place. So I'm not entirly sure Strange would have won the race if he won the primary.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I just wanted to say something relating to the current poll. While I genuinely love Star Wars the most, Firefly is a solid honorable mention.
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Robic
I think that there would be less enthusiasm, But hundreds of thousands of people wrote-in a candidate or simply stayed home because they didn't want to vote for a predator. Considering Trump carried the state by about 30%, even a boring, party-line Republican like Luther could have won the state, even if by just 10%; If they weren't marred by scandal like Roy Moore.
Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Even so, there's still the fact that Moore hasn't been proven guilty in regards to these allegations against him. Under the U.S. judicial system, someone is innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't even been charged for his alleged crimes. And last time i checked, hearsay doesn't mean anything in court.
Nilas, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Strange would most definitely have on the race if he won the primaries.
Liberum Imperium, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Robic
Relating to the poll, I'm ashamed to say that my favorite SW film is Ep.3
PS: Don't kill me!
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
Don't get me wrong, I am VERY apprehensive about the allegations, especially their timing. I just meant that society has basically convicted him already. Even a lot of Republicans. I think that a lot of people stayed home for the sake of their conscience, even though he hadn't been charged with anything yet.
Saint Gloria, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
But it means everything in the court of public opinion. This is why many libertarians oppose voting in its modern form. Leaving your fate to the unwashed masses, many of which can't read, write, think, etc. is ludicrous. There's a reason why only land owners could vote originally.
Edit: Also, I am the lone Star Trek vote. :(

It's nice for these political discussions in Land's End to be civil, as opposed to how they normally are online.
P.S. here's the address for a great website for conservatives/right-leaning libertarians. I highly recommend it.

Nilas, Xadrya, Okla-Texas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Robic, The Cincinnatus Republic
Agreed.
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Robic
I agree. This discussion has been pleasant, interesting, and civil. These kinds of discussions are hard to come by these days.

I LOVE Prager! Great not just for conservatives, but even moderates and centrists, provides great insight into much deeper topics and philosophical debates.
Saint Gloria, Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
hello who is getting snow
Yaangze
There are a lot of things that I disagree with them on, but I also LOVE Prager. Even if I disagree with them, I get insight and understanding into what those who think differently than me think.
Edit: to clarify, there are also TON of things that I agree with them on too.
Saint Gloria, Araluen Ranger Corps, Robic
Still no snow :)
Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Same. I heavily disagree with them on religion and foreign affairs but agree with the rest, especially economics.
oh yeah i live in hawaii guys i have no snow rip

Relating on the whole Roy Moore thing, in Oklahoma (where I'm originally from), the state GOP is having a hard time this year after three GOP state legislators were caught in sexual immorality, this year alone. Democrats have actually flipped a small number of those seats, not just the three (although I think Republicans have been able to keep some of them). The GOP still has majority senate and representative chambers in OK.
Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
No way.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Robic
Same here. Overall, I like what they do and consider them an ally, but I much prefer the Mises Institute (Mises.org).

Heyo there. Welcome to LE.

Not yet 18 states are legally challenging it not to mention Congress could overturn it.

I read up and still didn't change my statement. It's basically the waiting game now.

I just got accepted into my dream law school... so freakin happy right now. :D

Hey, I guess I should write something I think, I joined the game today and am not really sure how the whole region stuff works but whatever. I'm just here to make a lot of money

Welcome to the region; any questions can be directed towards one of our government officials. If you need any information it can be found here:

Any advice for starting out? I don't really know how to tell if I'm doing well half the time lmao
Wenchdom, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Advice focus on what you want economy destroy civil rights and political freedom to and focus on that and then move on from there.
Yaangze
I'll let you guess. Its in the South.
Okla-Texas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Just joined Lands End and the game so I'm just saying hello.
Unike, Xadrya, Okla-Texas, Yaangze, Aimardia, The Cincinnatus Republic
Salutations and welcome to you both!
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Tresin
No no no no civil rights and political freedom are what you should also try focus on.
Hello.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Tresin
Doing well depends on what you want to achieve. Most actions you choose when tending to issues usually end up being not what you expect. Eventually you will grow to accept that NS issues are meant to be quirky and nonsensical, its best you learn this early :P
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, The Cincinnatus Republic
Emory?
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Look at me I focus on economy after I might relent with civil rights and political freedom

Anyone else going to watch Star Wars; The Last Jedi, today?

Currently, I'm working on a geographical map for my nation. It is currently a WIP, how does it look so far?

Did you design the whole thing by yourself? It looks fantastic!
Xadrya, Shoppers Paradise Central, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I did, thank you. I used paint.net mostly. It was a bit more difficult this time around as I did not have my drawing pad that I usually use, but I was able to make it. That is mostly an elevation map; I'm working on the political and geographical map as well.
Saint Gloria, Shoppers Paradise Central, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze

Instead of images I always see just a blank photo, like it's missing or something.
Also Xadrya weren't you going to draw maps of those who sent you information?
Saint Gloria, Shoppers Paradise Central, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I did unto the point that Ursopia quit the project. I can continue it if that is something people would desire. I have also seen displeasure, with the idea of a map, expressed by some LE officials. I will do it if enough people ask me to. Also, if you are on mobile, that can happen sometimes.
Saint Gloria, Shoppers Paradise Central, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
This poll has received more participation than any previously nice job guys!
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, The Cincinnatus Republic
Yay! I got that recorded.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Hooray! Also, I'm kind of surprised that (at the time of this post) only ~17.6% of voters chose neither. At the same time, I'm pretty unsurprised that ~86% of voters who like Star Trek, also like Star Wars (because I would think that they're kinda in the same wheelhouse)
Unike, Wenchdom, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Speaking of, just got back from seeing The Last Jedi. Kinda sucked ass, kinda didn't understand anything.

Can't wait for Net Neutrality to go. Maybe free market principles are not extinct yet.
Shoppers Paradise Central, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, The Cincinnatus Republic
That's a unique opinion; I have not heard much of that on the internet. Could you elaborate?
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
That's a first for me. Care to explain?
Araluen Ranger Corps
I watched both as a kid and would say I don't find them the same. I prefer Star Trek, Shatner and Picard eras the most, Deep Space 9 was also good. But if we were to compare apples with apples, that is, Star Wars movies vs Star Trek Movies, I lost interest in Star Wars after The Phantom Menace. I don't really know why except perhaps I gained all the insight I wanted about the first three movies.

Interesting, I am also against net neutrality.
Saint Gloria, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, The Cincinnatus Republic
If the companies owning the broadband start taxing large businesses- like amazon- for "premium services", that will reduce their profit margins, increase prices, and allow smaller services to compete, ultimately breeding the best service.
Since people will want unrestricted internet, smaller companies will have a chance to compete by laying new lines and offering unthrottled access. Competition in that area might bring US net speeds to first world standards, too.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, The Cincinnatus Republic
I'm against Net Neutrality as well.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, The Cincinnatus Republic
All interesting opinions; I always like to hear what other people think.

What is the difference between a powerhouse economy and an all-consuming economy on NS?
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Powerhouse is something larger I think.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
It goes Strong -> Very Strong -> Thriving -> Powerhouse -> All-Consuming -> Frightening. The full list, along with numerical boundaries, can be found on the forum.
Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
What if your economy reaches strengths that go beyond what is possible in this simulation? What if they branch out to the outer depths of the internet and expand across dimensional boundaries? I think you have failed to account for that possibility.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I see, only if you have truly ascended can you get a commie economy. Best known as "imploded."
