Same here, except we're a group of corporations rather than a single one. We still don't want upstarts tp threaten our business, and as such the only new businesses that ever succeed in Isollis are those funded and supported by existing parent companies.

I would however like to bring up that many "Fascists" today aren't actually anything like fascists, some are, most aren't. They're just labeled such by certain groups as a way of putting themselves above the others. This is why I ask the question, as those people are called this because they share a view point, not because they are. So are we opposing that viewpoint or the actual Fascists lead by Mussolini.

I know that it's Greek, but "Neonazi" is the German term for Modern-day-nazis.

Neo-Nazi is the everybody term for "Modern nazi", not just German. It can also refer to any sort of modern ideology that borrows any part of nazism, which means they aren't technically nazis either. Most neo-nazi groups, if not all, seek the revival of nazi ideology, but they can be anything from a bunch of racists who don't know any better to actual informed modern-day nazis.

Or these days they're mostly just people called Neo-Nazis because they're Republican or support Trump or are Liberals getting called "Neo-Nazis" for calling others such things. Sorry but I've found very few real Neo-Nazis in the large group of "Neo-Nazis".

I wasn't talking about people getting called neo-nazis. I'm talking about the gang members on tv with the big swastika tattoos or these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Movement_(United_States)

And why exactly are you having a discussion about neo-Nazis?

Isollis, Khijriyah, Apacifica, Dragonslinding Wa Mission

As your CLO, I would like to say that most of the board members are currently working on the Bylaw Proposal Act. This act will give us the system we're going to use to propose bylaws for LE. We have been currently been working on it about a month. I did not want you all to think we were doing nothing about this. Currently the proposal is on its third rough draft, and it's being edited still. I am hoping to finish it within the next two weeks. After this the bylaws for LE will hopefully start rolling in. Again if you have any ideas for bylaws you can still send them to me by telegramming. If you telegram me, those bylaws would be the first ones to go through the process of being accepted or denied. Have a wonderful day!

At vote in the General Assembly is a potentially disastrous resolution: "Repeal: Stock Exchanges and Foreign Investment". We strongly urge striking down this repeal as so long as GAR#401 exists it prevents more onerous legislation from being passed by the WA. Also the argument used for the repeal is severely flawed.

I'll second that. At any rate, the repeal is badly worded and is a terrible argument to begin with, seeming to rely solely on economic buzzwords to try and prove a point.

Does WA legislation actually do anything gameplay wise?

Not regular resolutions, I don't think.

Security Council resolutions might. I don't know enough about the A/D game to say.

Alrighty. Good to know.

Now...

What's the A/D game?

The A/D game is regional raiding. While NS doesn't have a military aspect per se, there is still a concept called raiding that is done on a regional scale.

Here's a link to a dispatch explaining the raiding system.

I'll have a look at that, then. I'd heard reference to A/D and raiding before I just didn't know what they were.

Does LE participate in raiding at all?

Post self-deleted by Moonshiners.

Regarding the current GA proposal Repeal: “Stock Exchanges And Foreign Investment”

I say vote AGAINST

To start, the wording of this repeal is absolutely atrocious even if it were to be something I would say to vote for.

GA#401 is a good thing.

I must intrude here, it is the R/D game. It is raiding and defending. LE and the rest of the Augustin Alliance do participate through our military force, the JTF.

General Assembly resolutions mess with member nation's statistics, and it is considered good form for them to RP as if the resolutions are in effect.

No the World Assembly (WA) is just one aspect of a game. Government activity counts as deciding on or dismissing issues. Which if you don't do at least once every 28 days (60 days if you're on vacation mode) will result in your nation "ceasing to exist".

At only six hours of sleep, your people will become inefficient. I would suggest 7.5 not a minute more or less. That is the average amount of time a human being needs. As always, it's up to you to take my advise
