Region: Lands End
I would have voted for the WA Legislation if it only applied to deadly diseases, but the discription of the applicable diseases is so vague that I could claim the common cold applies due to how widespread it is. While there is no vaccine for the common cold, it affects the health of the general populous and applies on that basis. The law covers every other requirement I would want. If I am wrong, please correct me, but otherwise I will never vote for this. Governments should be required to pay to stop the Black Plague, but not the common cold.
Possibly, but I don't think that autism really has bearing on the proposal at hand, the fact that it requires medical battery though does. I foresee a repeal effort coming on the proposal though it may take some time to come to fruition. The WA is nothing in not consistant in passing legislation only to repeal it shortly thereafter.
Oh yeah definitely I didn't think it had to do anything I was addressing what you said about pollution.
Unrelated fun fact, without proper treatment the common cold can kill you :)
Definitely somewhat related, and definitely somewhat awesome!
(In a wiping out the human race kind of way)
Um not really. About all the common cold can do is leave you exposed to other infections that can kill you or worst case scenario the complications of having a cold could kill a person. But for that to happen in both cases it is likely that someone would require a compromised immune system anyway since most "proper treatment" for the common cold boils down to eat chicken soup, drink OJ (or similar beverage with vitamin C) and increase consumption of biologically available zinc (mostly used by the body to make antibodies).
I don't care what Dr. Quack--I mean Oz said on his show.
As for the chicken soup, I maintain that Matzo Ball is superior to noodle, but then again when I have a cold I have a husband who will make it according to his grandmother's recipe.
The common cold, or the weakening of the immune system due to the common cold, was one of the leading causes of death in Europe before treatments.
Precisely!
Could be possibly start a Question of the Day? I feel like the rmb has been exceedingly inactive of late with the exception of today.

What does everyone think about NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and reasoning? NAFTA is a free trade agreement among Canada, U.S.A and Mexico. Many have argued for this abolition of it. With lower labor costs in countries like Mexico many times people may move their factories to Mexico for cheaper production.
The American Imperialists
Yeah well the other was going to the "doctor". Prior to the development of germ theory everyone believed in the humors theory and bleeding and purging was the main treatments used. Needless to say that took someone who was already ill and made them worse.
Utterly opposed to NAFTA and support its repeal. One of the main reasons why I voted for Trump. The in laws aren't speaking to either of us either because of that...still.
Xadrya
I support NAFTA, more free trade for the US is almost always beneficial to us. It can help lower prices for goods, raise competition among companies, and it gives more choices for goods to the average citizen. Our economy has grown pretty steadily since NAFTA has been implemented, We've gained 13.4% more full time jobs, and the average income per year for US citizens has gained roughly $5500 since NAFTA. Free Trade is one of the biggest things I disagree with Trump actually, among a few other things

So how is this zombie thing usually handled around here? I think if we're zombie free, we should probably just close our borders and let the other regions take care of it.
Hey everyone the z-day clock is up so take a look at it please note look at the whole thing because zombies changed this year.
Greetings Lands End! Construction of embassies with Wintreath will be completed in 2 hours! This is our first embassy in nearly half of our regions existence. Please dont abuse embassy posting, but feel free to give them a warm welcome.
What the hell's a bylaw?
See the Lands End Dispatch on the WFE it should be in the Corporate section I believe.
What does everyone think about tax reform? What taxes should we increase in the United States, which should we lower?
Heyo
Unike
We need an emergency bylaw, and we need to process it in 3 days. I think you know what I'm talking about, but we need to ban embracing and exporting the zombie horde.
Maybe. Dragonslund and its Mission to the WA have just shut their borders. All foreigners have already been executed.
That won't be enough, we need to stop traitors who are already in LE.
I find that regular executions keep the population in line. Regular executions of foreigners keeps them out of my country. That said if the rumors of there being zombies rising from the dead are true we're also taking the precaution of having the royal dragon herd dispose of the offenders.
Lets see piles of ash resurrect themselves!!!
Wouldn't keeping foreigners out of your country also keep them out of your country? Also, would you be willing to return the ashes of any Rockotopians to us? We can always put them in urns and sell them back to the family members.
Ok, but seriously, I just proposed the Bylaw and I'm hoping it will go into voting by tomorrow night. Please vote yes when it does to protect yourself and other LE Nations.
I didn't say how regular the executions are. I know that both my nations are classed as corporate police states...but they really should be classed as psychotic dictatorships. His majesty is a bit of a psychopath, just don't tell him I said that.
How about we sell you all of the ashes and then you can sell them back to family members or the general public as you see fit? We're not sure how we would differentiate Rockotopians from anyone else unless they are of a different species than human.
Are you a shareholder? I don't see you on the dossier, but then again neither am I. But I'm not a shareholder anyway. I'm just parked here because other regions are boring.
Could we buy all of the ashes at a bulk rate, then? We could jack up the prices to send their ashes into space and then just send up all of the ashes. Problem solved.
That's weird, I'm a shareholder. I got an acceptance telegram and everything, I hope I achieved it...
It is possible that the dispatch hasn't been updated. Me I never bothered to fill out the paperwork to become a share holder.
Sure....how about 2g of gold per 1Kg of ash. And we want gold, we don't mess around with fiat money.
For the first round of voting only the Board votes, I believe. The vote only goes to the shareholders if it is vetoed and the submitter still wants to pass it.
Oh, that's great! I just noticed there are official guidelines for proposing bylaws on the Corporate Dispatch. I'm gonna have to resend my message to the CLO.
Who did you send it to first?
Being a shareholder sounds cool in theory, but I don't know about that World Assembly. Universal health care is so not our style.
How about 1.5 g per 1 Kg, and we throw in a signed copy of Filthy Panther's seminal rock album "Sex on a Pile of Heroin"?
The dispatches are very outdated. Ive been asking TESDAI to take care of it, but he hasnt been too active on NS recently.
Yeah, I just want to have this Bylaw passed before Monday. Though, that is quite ambitious.
We have had no bylaws before. Weve been trying to get it started.
No he has not, I know of at least three recent votes he didn't vote on one way or the other and we have something like 30 delegate votes at my last count (which was a week or two ago). But then again my WA Mission puppet kind of obesses over WA stuff.
A rock album wouldn't be of much use to a feudal society that lacks electricity.
We can do 1.5g/Kg.
At present we have 9,870Kg of cremains in stock so...14,805g Au.
Okay...well, pretty much anyone from Rockotopia who goes to your country has rich, lenient parents, so that should be doable.
Not really relevant to our interests, we are selling you a waste product.
I think tax reform is necessary. I would say "taxation is theft" when it comes to taxes I don't agree with, but would pay them regardless. We need a simple flat tax rate, IMO. The IRS needs a reform. I like Cruz's idea of "taxes on a postcard."
The American Imperialists, Xadrya
Anyone care to endorse my little Federal Republic? I'll endorse your state in return. :)
Nilas, The American Imperialists, Sharlin, Xadrya, Okla-Texas
I think a general tax cut is necessary for the US. That means cutting taxes for corporations, for the rich, the middle class, the lower class, and getting rid of certain tax loopholes, simplifying the overall tax system, and getting rid of the estate tax
Nilas, Xadrya, Okla-Texas
You guys think you're gonna go cure or elimination during Z-Day?
Elimination. Unless of course we want to be a giant hoard of undead.
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
I almost don't like it because Ted Cruz proposed it.
Whoops, did I say that out loud?
You did, but I won't hold it against you. Ted Cruz reminds me of a used car salesman.
Xadrya
Remember, send me your recruitment results if you haven't yet. I only have one person who has sent me rheir results.
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
I suggest that if you have any reason not to be on or participate you should probably message an official. If you have the time I suggest that you take more of a participation role in the region as we are in dire need of more participation in the region. In addition to this I want remind everyone we have an open ambassador position that needs to be filled, message Torranto for more information.
Unike
Just to let everyone know I will be stepping down from VP-R. I will still be active in Lands End but it is time for somebody new.
Also how is everyone doing today?
Bonnie Blue Republic
I won't hold that against you either. All good.
Unike, Xadrya
I would like to announce that, with elections nearing, I am campaigning for the position I currently hold once more:
Chief Legal Officer, Land's End.
The American Imperialists
Hello everyone, I just wanted to announce that elections will be postponed to November 6th due to Z-day and lack of information provided. Sorry for any convenience this may have caused. After this election, elections will be back on schedule.
If you want to look at all the positions available, please go to this dispatch.
Also an official election process will be posted by November 2nd on the corporate dispatch.
Greetings nations of Lands End! I would like to formally announce my intentions to run for Chief Operating Officer (COO) in the upcoming election.
Also, Xadrya has been appointed as our Ambassador for the remainder of this term.
Nosotalio, Xadrya
hello
Salutations, fellow nations
Xadrya
Hello my friend, LIVE 10000 YEARS!
I don't really watch movies, to be honest...
Don't watch many movies, but the ones I do are usually documentaries or sports movies.
Also, if you plan on running for a position on the Board of Directors, please telegram me.
Xadrya
Thank you, Torranto.
I would probably say my favorite movie genre is something a little more obscure, I generally like historical fiction, historical or alternate history movies. Example: Man in the High Castle, Walking With the Enemy, Dunkirk
Should I cure or exterminate?
Exterminate!
EXTERMINATE!!!
You Daleks!
Nilas
Alright, as you all know; Z-Day has started. I propose that we form a task force of cure-seekers and exterminators to stop embracers from impeding on the progress of our brethren. We will do so with a uniformed and well-timed attack on the most threatening embracers. Telegram me if you're interested in joining; you must be a cure-seeker or exterminator to join.
Nilas, Xadrya
i accept
I feel obligated to point out that you are not a member of the Discord and never have been...
The Discord is where probably 80% of government discussion takes place. As CTO, you don't really need to participate in much of that.
But the COO has to do a lot more.
I dont think Discord is necessary for me to fulfill the role properly. In fact, I believe I can fill the role more than sufficiently. I think anything I absolutely need to know from Discord can be relayed with a simple telegram.
I'm trying to get as many endorsements as I can, if anyone can please endorse me and I will return the favor. :)
Is anyone else annoyed that the zombie thing happened without being offered for involvement?
You didn't want to participate?
Nilas
Wot m8?
Nilas
You cant decide whether to participate in an epidemic! Thats literally in the definition of an epidemic.

I frankly have no understanding in the growing popularity of many socialist movements. Socialism has repeated failed throughout history from the Soviet Union to China and in the modern day Venezuela has one of the lowest developments. It is arrogant for people to assume that, well, maybe they failed but I can do it the RIGHT WAY. This is all I have to say to millennial socialists:
You are entitled to nothing, nothing at all. It is arrogant for you to assume that you can do it right, that you can take money from the rich, the ones who have worked for it and give it to those who may either be less fortunate or are unwilling to work for their money. The little guy and the rich man in economics are both important. The rich man employs and pays the little guy for his labor. If you take away that competition provided by private enterprise you do not allow for successful development and societal progression. You can never eliminate any class, you can only widen the gap. Look at the Soviet Union, for example, they didn't eliminate the rich they just made that gap between the rich and the poor larger and reduced the amount of people that held the highest amount of wealth. The closest thing you can get to working socialism is a mixed economy, that which exists under China, Japan and a few other Asian countries and even this has its flaws. Economic freedom is political and personal freedom.
If any of you have any thoughts on this feel free to share. I'm just curious to see what you all think.
EDIT: I notice this was a little incoherent, it was more of a ramble than a structured "essay"

I agree completely.

I accidently hit Mercanta with a horde when I thought I had a cure missile. Oh boy.

I think the problem in the US at least is that we don't really have a mandatory economics course we need to take graduate highschool, so voters (younger ones especially) would just vote for the best sounding plans without actually examining the consequences of those plans or the realistic outcomes of those plans. They'll just hear things like "make the rich pay their fair share" or "free college for everyone" or "I'm not a communist, Im a socialist" and think "yeah, that sounds nice" and supports it blindly since they've never been taught the consequences of the things they're supporting
Nilas, Xadrya
I'm generally supportive of economics being taught in schools. But I think some of it can be attributed to entitlement as well. You see not only support of "Democratic Socialism" but also Universal Healthcare and many other things, saying that I'm entitled to this and that and not wanting to work for their right to have certain things. Some aspects of economics, at least to me, just seem like common sense. I haven't taken a single economics or political class in my life (except for the debate team) despite this I at least can differentiate between entitlements and earned privileges. A large portion of rich people have worked for their money, a large portion of poor people have taken advantage of welfare to avoid work. These things are earned, you have no entitlement to them.
Just for clarification I'm just starting censored personal info and despite my age and lack of experience in the work force I can at least acknowledge that you earn things, they aren't given to you.
Nilas, Torranta, The American Imperialists
A little off topic here...
Literally all my citizens are dying! THIS IS CHAOS!
Anyways, how are you all fairing.

Might want to delete that out of respect of personal info
Nilas
pfffffft personal info, I don't know where you live but I live on the internet. On the internet the best tip I have is to share your credit card number and all your personal info
Nilas, Torranta
And, if you have a social security number, you should share that with everyone you know.
Xadrya
Even more so, all of your personal passwords and address/
