Region: Lands End
I think they were just speaking figuratively...
Just doing some quick math, if we assume the U.S. government gives $13,000 to all citizens in the United States (~328.2 million), that would cost the government 4 trillion dollars. It would take a LOT of money to make UBI work. It costs less if you only give money to the poor, which is called GMI, or guaranteed minimum income.
Disagree.
True, but what about a country that already has widespread resources? Distributing currency to citizens allows them to access said resources.
I'm sure we're not there yet, but most sci-fi writers either envision a dystopian future, or one in which the wealth of nations is shared in some way.
Either the US got some very different views on how to implement UBI or people don't understand finances. Well, the US can't do anything right - it is one of the aforementioned shabby countries that needs a lot of fixes before even being able to think about UBI. You don't print money, you cut government money sinks and circulate money through peoples expenses and taxes. Taxes are yet again something most US citizens seem to have issues with even if they're to their net benefit.

My income inequality dropped significantly for no apparent reason. I worked hard to reach 98 to 1... If progress wasn't so slow I would start from scratch.
Im sorry Man
I have reason to believe a state sponsored rebellion group had infiltrated our beautiful empire. I warn you, actions like this will scale into full scale war, don't mess with us or our country, good day sir and sirdetts
If true, it's no worry. This is one of the most stable regions and nothing happens ever anyway.

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about a real world nation where something bad's about to go down, or are people with nothing better to do about to mess with Lands End, or are you just giving us a statuse report on the Empire or Antarctican Immagrants?

I love how you can have the most tyrannical government the world has ever seen but random citizens still manage go enter your office and scream at you about any little issue they have. Where's the damn security?

Why hi there & welcome to our region :) if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
I have seen the opposite. Sorry for not responding last time. Somehow I got an incremental increase for that sweet, sweet banner.
What do you guys think of Mencius Moldbug?
the star looks streched, maybe fix that. otherwise nice flag lol xd
Hello just recently you may have heard that our nation has been having trouble with revolutionary groups, well now we are proud to say our organization has overthrown the monarchy and we have established a socialist democracy, we hope we as a nation we can finally remain one political system and can finally show ourselves on the world stage, thank you for your time.
Welcome to the socialist bloc! Were technically a socialist monarchy, so welcome to the family!
Yea, thanks for answer, i guess immigration is meant not as tourism, but being able to get citizenship.

What do you think of my new flag?
How do i get my economy rich with goverment and state owned economy?
Embrace the free market.
Actually, its cool flag.
My friends and comrades and business partners. What does it mean when telegramms are deleted before you can read them? I get notices but when I click on them they say I can't read the TG.
Check filters, i searched forum a bit, but no results. Filters arent probably the reason, but thats all i can come up with. Also, arent the states that sent you telegramm deleted? I dont know if would it affect it
Same thing happens to me. At first I thought it may have been due to my inbox being full, and for some reason it was deleting new telegrams instead of the old ones. But even after manually deleting them to make room it still happens sometimes, so I don't know why it is.
Talllad
Is there any issue to completely abolish income taxes or do I have to lower it bit by bit?
Im good just stacking up on supplies for nuke day!

Occasionally there are, you have 3 types to reduce taxes. First by making decisions that don't increase taxes, avoid simply things that would increase taxes in the first case. Second is when there is an option for tax breaks, etc. and third are issues specifically concerning taxes. One such issue slashed my 67% taxes down to 18% by shrinking the government and expenses.

like this comment if you have committed tax fraud across north america

I prefer calling it refusing to have your hard earned money stolen by the biggest mafia in the face of earth, or as commonly referred to; the government. Remember, taxation is theft under the threat of violence, imprisonment and death.

Considering that the elections are coming up in September, I wanted to inform the Shareholders that I will enforce the [URl=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1276030#bylaws]Shareholder Participation Bylaw[/URL].
Shareholders should participate or send a 'no vote' telegram.
I will keep a list of the Shareholders who didn't vote.
This doesn't concern regular WA members or residents, only those who applied to the [URL=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1274835#shareholders]Shareholder Status[/URL].
Kind regards,
Chief Legal Officer

Hi everyone,
Since Im seeing elections chatter, I thought Id let you all know that Im not planning on running again this cycle because Im taking a big step in my life at the moment and wont have time to do my best at being CCO for most of this next year. Its been great being the CCO, and interacting with you all, but its for the best that we change it up. Consider it a breath of fresh air for the region, after all, we need it from time to time! Constants can get boring. I will miss serving the region, but I will try my best to remain active in the region- no promises though. You at least can expect me to be on at least once every month! Good luck to all of those who run, and Id like to re-emphasize for the shareholders: VOTE.
Those who intend on running for CCO, let me know and Ill TG you my very nice guide on what you need to know about being CCO! Its been a wild ride, and Im going to miss my position for sure, but its for the best.
Thanks,
Spokane

Howdy ya'll.
Yeah, elections are coming up.
So if you want to run for something, go ahead and drop me a line, either here or in Discord. We'll keep applications open for another five days and then I'll send out the ballots.
Remember, this is the first election with mandatory shareholder voting. You don't vote, you lose your Shareholder status. Just something to think about.
And now for something completely different:
Newly appointed AA Cultural Officer Rex Omnia is reviving Augustinvision.
Here's a dispatch with everything you need to know.

Hi everybody,
I am in this post announcing that I will be running, once again, for the governmental position of Chief Personnel Officer. In this position, as I have been doing in my past terms, I am responsible for recruiting and integrating new members into the region - of which this term, I promise I will do more. During this most recent term in office, several projects have been started, which are soon to be completed, such as the regional map; which will lead to a new roleplay situation soon (fingers crossed it will be in the near future after the election!)
I don't have much else to say except to get out there and vote, and perhaps even try running for office or senior management yourself! It's a good bit of experience, even if you are not elected... And who knows! You may even be a regional officer in the near future! All you have to do is try.

My question is why, while being a region officially targeted to free market nations, we have so many socialist and authoritarian nations?
Come now, where would you outsource your call centers and assembly lines if not for those nations. Gotta be willing to exploit the human resource engage in a certain level of diplomacy if you want to stay competitive.

Hi
Honestly I'm here as a joke and I want to see hoe fast I can run a country into the ground any tips?
My friends and comrades and business partners. I have had some minor electronic issues but now resume to be again daily active. When are the elections due? I offer myself for any open office as my motto states that duty and office are pillars of any well-meant and well-spent social life.
Eostiana
Go the socialist route
Nadal Mobianordia
I unfortunately won't be participating in voting for now, I really want to focus on building my nation out of the ashes of the Socialist democracy we found ourselves in. I hope to meet back again next election once we strengthen the fifth republic
