Region: Libertatem
Hey Tomorico,
I see that Mackrenia is another region. If you want to RP here, i'm quite sure that's okay.. but it might help you if Mackrenia moves to Libertatem. Otherwise, you can RP through telegrams if you want no other players to intervene in your war. But we would be glad to accept Mackrenia into Libertatem!
Oh, that'd be rather nice, I suppose!
However, nothing is private, in this certain afair.
It's completely open. I'll send him a telegram to see if he'd like to come to the region anyway, though!
2012 Libertarian presidential candidate Governer Gary Johnson is doing a LIVE google hangout right now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u__cM1Khxnw&feature=youtu.be
As Muh Roads pointed out, the communist regions we're building embassies with are ones that have been conquered by Libertatem. So it's less making friends with reds and more claiming ownership of a graveyard and leaving a sign saying, "Ours now!"

I've always wanted to see the day where we'd have 100 nations.
Now I can finally certify my position as #1 Happiest Citizens.
100 nations.. great work everyone!
Wow! 100 nations..
Were making history.. Congratulations :)
I'm proud of all of us .. Let's make it a goal to 150!
What the two chaps above me said ^_^
The election is yielding some very interesting results. I won't talk about specific candidates until tomorrow, after voting ends, but we seem to have a tie vote thusfar. Of the four candidates, two are leading with an equal number of votes, with two trailing, also with an equal number of votes. Turnout has been fantastic, considering the short notice brought about and the previously inactive state we were in, with 14 nations casting their votes so far.
The Constitution grants me executive power to resolve the issue in case of "When a matter is deemed a tie, is very close or is predictable," but since this is an experiment in the power of democracy, I will not intervene. So we need more votes by tomorrow, or else there will have to be a second round of voting between the leading candidates.
Not a Board member? Want a part in improving the region?
Then join the House of Representatives!
The House of Representatives is Libertatem's lower legislative chamber, composed of any citizen of the region who wishes to join it. Telegram me if you want a place, then you can get to work on
-drafting legislation,
-voting on legislation,
-governing the region's affairs.
TG Pevvania today!
Hello Everyone! I am the NCA and it's nice to be here o/
Welcome, NCA! :)
Want to sign up to the House of Representatives? Or claim a spot on the map? Or maybe sign up to the Libertatem Lottery, which could win you Dead Space?
[B]The Election[/B]
There is now one candidate with a clear lead. Unless someone else equals over overtakes them in votes by tomorrow, the leading candidate will be declared the winner.
How do I enter the lottery?
I'll put your name down. I'll need at least eight sign-ups before I actually give out the code.
Hey, anyone want to make a claim on the regional map?:
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=blahbania/detail=factbook/id=182540
If so TG me, and make sure to tell me where you want to make a claim.
Thanks! :)
Give me China? :)
Bulgarian and Croatian border is where my country is located at.
Croatia and Bulgaria don't border each other :I
That may just be the point.
Blahbania, I put an updated map in the WFE a while ago :/ After I update the map for Muh Roads and re-post it, I'll properly hand over the title of 'Map Master' to you.
I meant Hungary.
Croatia, and Hungary.
Updated in WFE.
Oh, be DAMNED! That's where Mackrenia's at.
I'm in the Mediterranean, several large islands, North of Libya and Egypt.
Sorry.
It has been sad to see the IDA die. It was such a brilliant idea back in its day, authored by the great [nation=short]The Free State of Bavaria[/nation]. But then it became apparent that most signatories could defend themselves from foreign aggression, so it just became obsolete.
Today, Ida Defense Council is a graveyard; a shell of its former self.
From now on, Blahbania is Map Master. Direct all your map spot requests to him.
I don't know if you got the telegram Blahbania but I just want to say that obviously I want the USA. I also think we could do a potential real RP with this map involving war and expansionism.
Awesome idea. I got time, so I'll edit the map quickly.
By the way folks I feel as if I've let you down as your Manager of Internal Affairs by not interacting enough with you all honestly. I've been busy lately in discussion with foreigners ( on NS of course ) but that's no excuse. So from today onward I'm going to start being a better manager and I would love it that if you have any concerns within the region that you bring them before me and I will do my best to aid you. I also hope we can begin to use the Chatzy chat again and if you want the password please ask me or Pev.

Hey Pevvania, can you magic some landmasses in the middle of the Atlantic for me using my factbook entries as a basis? I don't want to have to go and update everything so it fits with the real world.
If you do this, I want the central island to be about the size of Ireland, and everything else about half that.
Would be very convenient and I will have all the everythings for you.
Can I claim those barren islands in the north on the map?

Hey everybody!
Just letting you guys know, Tomorico is in a war with the nation Mackrenia.
Actual troop contact is imminent, and i'm trying to raise some awareness, considering it's my first time doing this sort of thing.
Actual forum can be found right hurr:

A huge thanks to those of you who voted for me..
Now, we wait for the results.. May the best candidate win.
To that candidate that does win though. I wish you the best of luck, and know that you will be a great representative & board member of Libertatem. The nations that lead our region is what gets us to reach goals like 100 nations. We are thriving, and we are strong. We will become even stronger..
Again... Thank you so much, and good luck & best wishes to the winner.

Do you wish to claim a place on the regional map?
[B]The Election: Results...[/B]
After 48 hours of voting, the polls closed, the voters went to bed and the candidates waited anxiously to be told, or not told, "you've won". 17 nations each cast their vote for their preferred candidate amongst a field of dedicated nations with some good ideas. They were:
-[nation=short]Acranea[/nation].
-[nation=short]Miencraft[/nation].
-[nation=short]The Justin Empire[/nation].
-[nation=short]The Seafield Islands in Libertatem[/nation].
Due to the range of loyal nations eager to serve, the race was very, very tight. [nation=short]Miencraft[/nation] was the leading candidate early on, but the other candidates soon began gaining support. Miencraft maintained a lead through the race, until he tied with [nation=short]The Seafield Islands in Libertatem[/nation]. The other two candidates were tied as well, with only a vote's worth distancing them from Seafield and Miencraft. It got to a point where every candidate had an equal number of votes.
However - one vote broke the tie. By a very narrow margin, [nation]Miencraft[/nation] is our newest Board member. Congratulations.
Thank you to all who voted in this successful demonstration of democracy in our region, and thank you to the candidates who participated. I've signed you all up to the House of Representatives.
Congratulations Miencraft.
Congratulations Miencraft!
Well, as roving ambassador from Benevolent Capitalism we must now move on to continue with this role.
Thanks for having us!
Whew, that was close.
I'll serve you all as best as I can while I'm on the Board.
Oh, and I'd also like to thank everyone who voted for anyone at all in this, that's a service right there.
Good god, my islands are huge. They're meant to be a lot smaller.
We can't stop recruiting, guys. Every Board member has to recruit 5 times a week.
Post self-deleted by Unitedareas.
Thank you Blahbania.
Wow Pev, I don't believe it's a good idea to say that the Board Member "has to recruit 5 times a week". You see there's an inherent virtue of libertarianism that this region was founded upon and we libertarians don't like to be told to do things. So Board Members I would love it if you would recruit but I wouldn't force you to do so. I think we need to review that policy if it's written anywhere.
Our public officials are supposed to serve us, not the other way around. There's an inherent authoritarianism in mandating every ordinary citizen to recruit. But if our Board members and Managers want to work for the region, they should help expand it. It's part of the job.
Pevvania is correct. There is nothing wrong with making responsibilities for nations who hold voluntary positions and may resign at any time, thus freeing themselves of any obligations.
Nice piece of war propaganda here: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=pevvania/detail=factbook/id=182891
I made it myself :)
I'm thinking about planning a liberation in the next few days/weeks of a region I won't mention here. I'll need around 4-6 WA nations for it. Remember - you can't have more than one nation in the World Assembly, so if any of my endorsers wanted to participate, you'd need to transfer membership from your one to a puppet.
Congrats Meincraft
Dear friends,
I have decided to found a region of my own, along with Liberosia. Our views have transformed in the time since Libertatem was founded and Libertatem is on a new path, different from the path I wish to go. I have founded the anarcho-capitalistic region of Glitnir. The name is very symbolical, Glitnir was Baldur's residence in norse mythology and Glitnir was iconic for the fact that it was covered in red gold, which symbolizes the prosperity capitalism brings on.
I wish all of you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and I shall keep an eye on Libertatem. I will always be ready to help, if needed.
Good bye, thank you for everything.
Sorry about that, I had some trouble with the paint.
I wish you luck, Snabagag, and I hope to see your region grow and prosper.
Bye Snabagag.

Who gets Snabagags place on the regional map?
I think you should take it, considering it's right next to you.
Will do:
Blahbanian troops are moving in to claim what was once the place of a nation called Snabagag.
Well, Snab, it's sad to see you go. You've been here for so long. Much longer than me and most others here. You've left a profound and lasting impact on the region that will never be forgotten.
Goodbye, Snabber, and good luck to whatever you do in the future.
Thank you all, especially Pev, for your ever so kind words.
Just remember... Cows sometimes turn to spiders...
So how does this NationStates work?
With the Paint skills of some in this region, no offence :), I have been working today on editing the growing map of Libertatem.
Take a look at this, what do you think so far? This is just a beginning http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8864/bw7y.png
It's hard to explain, but I'll do my best.
When you have an issue then you can solve it by just clicking an option and leaving it.
Telegrams are messages.
And the factbook describes any, and ever aspecty of your nation, but you have to type it.
Hope I helped.
I don't know what the original map looked like but I think it's pretty good :)
Yes, you did, thanks. :)
70 minutes ago: The Confederate States of Liberosia departed this region for Glitnir.
Liberosa has left too.
Great map, Islands!
Reconstruction begins...
As the Pevvanian continent lies in ruins, a sense of unity is beginning to take root. The year is 2087, and the war is over. Four years of death and destruction has resulted in the fall of the nationalist Australian regime. Under a weak, yet publicly supported, Pevvanian government, the nation begins the rebuilding process with the help of foreign allies and well-wishers.
Great map Islands :)
How are you so good at paint?
Can I lay claim to a portion of the map, and if so who do I ask?
You ask me.
Can I have what appears to be the other half of Brazil, over to Chile, and down to Argentina?
You can definately have Chile and Argentina, but you can't have all of the Western half of Brazil.
Says the one who annexed nearly all of Europe and Asia! :P
Then can I have Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru?
That looks great, I may fiddle around with that a bit later to perfect Miencraft, but it looks nice.
Sure
Ok, I give him the other half of Brazil.
I'm a girl :)
I was just kidding, Blahbania. I trust your judgement.
BAHAHHAHA, I love it when people mistake you for a guy XD
Post self-deleted by Blahbania.
I'm aware
I am not working with Paint, I'm working with Adobe Fireworks. I am good with editing and creating worldmaps.
For the other new claims, sunday or monday are the changes online again.
Ok
JordinWland just made a claim to Argentina, Chile, Uraguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and a large portion of Brazil.
Here's the current map:

Note: the yellow-green area is JordinWland.
Thank you :D
You're welcome
The neon green is me?
Heir to the Region...
Well, they're gone. The last of the three Great Pioneers, [nation=short]Snabagag[/nation] and [nation=short]Liberosia[/nation], have joined [nation=short]Conservative Idealism[/nation] to leave this region for new pastures. The rich 1.3-year history of Libertatem has been a dramatic one - full of trials and tribulations, conflict and compromise, decay and achievement. None of it would have been possible without the Pioneers. They helped shape the region in their own special ways, and it's truly sad to see them finally depart.
So now that Liberosia is gone, I guess I'm your sole Commander-in-Chief. Taking the Delegacy, I thought that Liberosia would act as a passive master; the quiet monarch, ready to step in during crisis but leaving the duties of managing the region to its people. It seems that I shouldn't even expect this now. As our founder begins anew, I've been thrown squarely into the driver's seat. The reins are in my hands, and with them I'm expected to lead this region through the coming months of change and progress, and into 2014.
A task so grand and so daunting would seem like taming a mammoth to anyone else. I've been asked many times to abandon ship; to join my old friends on the other side of the hill and start fresh.
But time and again, I have refused.
Perhaps the greatest feat achieved by Libertatem is its continued resilience in the face of massive odds. We overcame the attempts of an Evil Empire to shake the foundations of our region and reduce us to dust. We overcame the internal struggles that divided our best and brightest. We overcame a period of decay and stagnation that threatened to push our region off the cliffs of destiny and into a chasm. And we will overcome this.
Right now, we're stronger than ever. We border the 100 nation mark, our community is alive with activity and participation, and the winds of change are giving greater power to the people of this region. That Liberosia would invest such trust in me to lead this region gives me great confidence.
I have so much hope for this region and everyone in it. While I am sad to see the last of our veterans and pioneers leave us, the only way is up for Libertatem. As I look on and upward to the future of our region, I'll paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi and say, I'm not the last of the old Libertans, but the first of the new.
I'm guessing you're the nation in South America that borders more along the North Atlantic.
OK! Thanks, and great job. Very impressive
No problem, also I didn't make the map, Blahbania did.
That is correct.
*Clapping fills room as thousands cheer*
While I can't say that I knew them, I can say that that speech was amazing.
Can anyone tell me if I wrote my factbook correctly?
I would say so...
