Okay so basically what I've decided is that if the forum goes more than a day without viable critique or suggestions then I'm going to submit it. Just letting you guys know.

Can I submit it? I was the original drafter for this thing. I am not trying to steal all of your guys glory, and I appreciate you all a lot. I just feel like since I was the originator I probably should submit it. That way if it tanks, I can take the blame.

Yeah sure, I'll TG you when it's ready to submit, just make sure that it's properly formatted and that you delete the part at the top that says... actually I would rather that I submit it because I was the one that posted it to the forums and I want everyone to know that it's the same one that was in the forums, also I'm a little scared that they might expel you from the WA because they might think that you plagiarized it.

Alright. Just make sure all the proper credit goes where it needs to. Blux was quite helpful through TG but he has requested to be mentioned as a co sponsor.

Co sponsor? We already have three co authors listed, any more and it's illegal.

Yes, we need to start another push to increase our endorsements. Be sure to endorse everyone in the region.

Hi, welcome to Lands End. I would recommend that you read some of this dispatch. It is kinda long so you don't have to read all of it, but it's a good way to start. If you want to know more about how this region functions then you go to the top and click the linked dispatch called "Information Center [LE]", this will give you some tips about both the game and this region itself.

Its more of a political simulation rather than a war game. However, there are ways to invade, raid, and capture regions.

I am disappointed I cannot vote in your poll.

All I can say is this, the streets are crawling with Romans.

Legoa

I am working on rallying support for the proposal. So far 7 delegates have been added since yesterday. We need 60+ more.

Most delegates won't even approve it unless it's deemed legal by the GenSecs and they're taking their time with doing that, that's for sure.

I have started a campaign, if this is legal and reaches Quorum I expect it to pass. Most people see "repeal" and just vote for.

Legoa, Peacockastan

Peacockastan wrote:Most delegates won't even approve it unless it's deemed legal by the GenSecs and they're taking their time with doing that, that's for sure.

I have telegrammed the current GenSecs and asked for their approval.

Yeah if it reaches General Assembly for vote I am confident that it will pass, the only part I am worried about is the Delegate approvals and the GenSec status.

Edit: Alright it was deemed legal, I'm starting to get excited.

I would really like to emphasize what Blux said in the telegram that he sent out. Join the WA. There really isn't a reason for you not to. It adds so much to this game for one, second of all the more endorsements that Blux has, the more votes that he has in the WA, and it will raise our overall influence. Joining the WA is one of the best things to do in this game to both have fun and improve this region.

For any new players though, do NOT join the WA with more than one account! Otherwise you may be banned!

Pursuant to Blux's telegram, I've endorsed every Land's End shareholder who is a WA member

Using what list? If you're using the shareholder list at the top of the region page... That's severely outdated as far as I'm aware. Just make sure you endorse Blux and as many nation's with WA status as you can find. I myself have endorsed every single WA nation in this region and I recommend you all do the same.

So let's talk about this new SC resolution . . . I'm leaning towards for, since they've claimed in the reasoning that Macedon was involved and influenced other regions in passwording which to my knowledge is something not apart of the game mechanics that seems condemnable to me. For those of you who voted against, can you express your perspectives?

I don't know enough about Macedon to vote for his condemnation. I dislike many of the sc resolutions because it only provides one side of the story, as such, I usually oppose these resolutions unless expressly advised otherwise.

My taxation rate just went up after totally ending VAT taxes. What on earth?

The tax that is on the front of your country's homepage is the income tax rate and generally when you end one kind of tax, the income tax goes up in order to compensate for it.

I voted "against" because Macedon has already been condemned in the SC

Not very often.

It looks like the proposal will not pass due to lack of delegate support. We got 3/5ths of the needed support. I am going to work on another repeal next week when I have the time. Well done to Spokane and Peacockastan for the efforts.

It's a shame on the Don't Kill the Poor repeal. The argument seemed pretty straight forward to me but received some pretty stiff criticism early on on the GA forum which in my opinion was the main source of our lost momentum. The issue is emotionally charged (by design, given the title), and people focused on what they wanted the bill to do and not what the text of the bill actually allows. We'll need new arguments for this next repeal and a more coordinated strategy for arguing for it

Keeping taxes below 35% while maintaining a: strong defense, healthy population, education, clean environment, civil rights, political freedoms, strong economy, and protectionist tariffs is certainly an ordeal; and I am proud to say I am edging closer to my ideal state. Still need to fix my income inequality issue though. Most nations tend to be lopsided. Balance is key.

I'm never happy with mine. Economy is strong but I want it stronger. Taxes are kinda low but I want them lower. Civil rights took a dip recently from one issue or another. And honestly I feel like my incomes are too equal right now. Why should I work so hard if I'm only going to get 5x more than the next guy or gal?

Income equality is not a bad thing in theory. However, a meritocratic society mandates separation and inequality, as such, it is a form of social darwinism. The strongest and smartest become the richest (in theory). Also, in theory, a meritocracy is supposed to be a double-edged sword. If the rich looses his merits, he falls, and if the poor becomes smarter/stronger, he rises. However, this usually does not happen because wealth tends to stay within the oligarchy.

I try to keep mine below 10%, but recently it has been somewhat difficult.

Greetings fellow national leaders!

I the leader of Wajuti have joined this region to focus on industry. My goal is to dominate the only industry that truly matters, Human Resources, or chattel slavery.

If you need low cost cotton or sugar or metals, you can always import from Wajuti. Also if you want females for your harems we have your supply.

You may also be interested in our thriving futures market that deals in slave-based futures.
