Region: Libertatem
I would re-apply with Muh Roads. And ask Pev about your RLP membership.
Your name is no longer on the Citizens' Register, for some reason. But membership in the RLP is more or less open, so the answer to that is yes.
Okay, thanks Humperia!
Okay, thanks too Pev!
I'll register with Muh Roads maybe later or tomorrow.
Humpheria. I also accept Hump, Humph, Humpy, Humpman, and Steve.
Okey dokey. Thanks, Humpmeister.
That too.
The Commonwealth of Free Nations (As per my suggestion) is having a poll over which parties in your region our members support.
Voted RLP.
Judgement on Ankha's Case
Alright, I've read everything (yes, everything), I've heard both sides of the argument and heard all concerns, and I think I've made a judgement. In the absence of the Attorney-General, I hereby invoke the Executive Resolution Clause of Article II of the Constitution. In making my judgement, I've used both a textualist interpretation of the FRAUD Act and already-set precedent.
When [nation=short]Ankhora[/nation] came here the second time, he did so not representing any other region. He had become largely estranged from Ucr by that point, and applied for citizenship as a 'main' nation. He did not identify as a foreign dignitary, and could not be considered one regardless because he did not come from an allied region. This is an unfortunate loophole in the FRAUD Act, but one that must be recognised as a part of the law. And the allegations that Ankhora is a puppet are debatable, and probably false. The FRAUD Act does not clearly define what a 'puppet' actually is, but refers to the fact that "Citizens are entitled to the use of puppets... Said puppets are NOT Citizens, and do not have voting rights nor the right to stand for public office."
[nation=short]Alchandria[/nation] was allowed to change his citizen nation to [nation=short]Godisdead[/nation] upon agreement between the Department of Internal Affairs, the Board and myself, the President. This was based on the grounds that he was already a citizen under a different nation, so was allowed to transfer this status to [nation=short]Godisdead[/nation]. We applied this same principle to giving citizenship to [nation=short]The New United States[/nation], who formerly resided in this region under the name [B]The Liberty Front[/B]. So there is a very clear precedent here that allows citizenship transferral.
But is there a legal justification beyond this? The answer to that is yes.
The FRAUD Act
Section V
Citizenship
Subsection VI
[B]The Manager of Internal Affairs will keep a public list of Citizens, and will manage the status and list of Citizens appropriately[/B]
The Manager has exercised his powers in managing the status and list of Citizens appropriately in transferring citizenship from [nation=short]Ankhora[/nation] to [nation=short]Ankha[/nation]. Therefore, based on this and the above points, [nation=short]Ankha[/nation] is eligible to stand for public office.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Cool. As long as it got resolved.
woo
Now, let's debate some real issues. What are your thoughts on immigration?
I've become a staunch open borders advocate, but only when the welfare state is cut down or abolished. Nevertheless, I'd like to see more immigration in the meantime. There's a myth that's been floating around for a while that if borders were opened so many immigrants would come into Britain/America/wherever that every square metre would be crowded by immigrants. You couldn't walk down the street, or open the door, without a flood of people literally bursting in your direction.
Obviously, this is not true. Even on a less exaggerated scale, it is false. If 'mass immigration' were to occur again in the United States, it would naturally end when the price of housing becomes to high. It will act as an economic barrier to entry to any new arrivals. For example, millions of people live in New York City, and there's constant demand for housing there. Few low-skilled immigrants come to New York City (and those that do diversify the labour market), and the high-skilled ones add more capital to the economy. Meanwhile, housing prices in Detroit have hit rock bottom as thousands of people are trying to move. Demand is extremely low.
Thanks, but now we have to have everyone vote again.
:)Past activity < current activity
Btw, Lack, please revote.
Jesus, what does it take to get you guys debating something?
lol
Well......
I can do it. Welfare and Obama and Tax. Boom.
Obama does nothing good.
I know right.
Yep ^
I too am a huge supporter of immigration. Especially here in the US, a country founded on immigration, I can't understand people's disliking of immigrants, especially those from Mexico. People's xenophobia has never been stronger than it is right now. I think it's like 10% of all people speak spanish in the US now. But us WASPs are just so scared of people from other countries it's really quite saddening. You see people from elsewhere treated so poorly sometimes and automatically hailed with prejudice. I really don't like that, even my own family acts xenophobic all of the time and it really makes me mad.
You know how to get me bby
He was a fairly decent candidate, for a Democrat, in 2008. He seemed committed to restoring civil liberties in the United States and ending the wars. But as we've seen, he played that card just to get elected. His Presidency has been nothing but a consolidation of Bush's legacy, both on foreign and domestic policy.
I wouldn't call my family xenophobes, but they too fall into the "Kick out the illegals and limit immigration" crowd. I identified with them for a while. But my embrace of libertarianism has made me a better and more tolerant person.
He seemed like alot of good stuff.. Seemed is operative.
RRRG are you anti-communist?
This nation is a puppet nation of [nation=short]The Seafield Islands[/nation]. But, I already was in Libertatem before, and I do not represent the Federation of Free States here, so I'm not a dignitary. This nation had stayed in Libertatem for more than 30 days before I went inactive.
So, should I still wait for 30 days before re-applying for citizenship?
I'll say this again.
My thoughts on immigration. I am for it so long as it's legal. Illegals should have Benefits cut which will cause them to leave on their own and return as citizens.
It's up to Muh, but I think you should be good.
Your previous record is good. Apply.
Okay thanks Hump and Muh!

I think it's absolutely disgusting how Richard Martinez - father of one of the Isla Vista Massacre victims - has utilised the death of his son to push a political agenda. I'm f___ing sick of morons beating the dead horse of "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!1", as if it's some kind of argument against self-defense rights.
We hear so much about idiots preaching about gun safety, but we don't hear many people speaking out against US Government atrocities and drone strikes. For parasites like Martinez, it's all about curtailing the rights of everyone else to gain some personal satisfaction, rather than thinking about the millions of people murdered by governments who use morons like him to further erode people's freedom. "When will this madness end?" he says. The only madness I see is the overwhelming number of drones who feel it's their duty to force others to conform to their lifestyles. But these people are too cowardly to do it themselves, and must force the State to do it for them. If they want to reduce the amount of gun deaths and overall homicides, they should push for ending the Drug War (70% of gun deaths are gang-related) and helping people out of poverty by ending the welfare state.
You Americans don't know how blessed you are. Here in Europe, ignorant authoritarians control our governments rather than being relegated to pressure groups and town hall meetings. I've come to understand what Reagan meant by saying that "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth." That message is relevant to this day, despite the work that's been done to undermine it.
Gun control needs to almost disappear. Guns can be used responsibly, and people who do not shouldnt have them, but all people have the right to a gun.
Indeed. I find it puzzling why some Marxists support banning guns. I mean, how else are they going to start the revolution? Shouldn't restricting people's rights come after they take power? ;)
Exactly. Registration is just the first step to taking guns and becoming socialist.
I will vote for someone who supports the treaty with the FFS. :)

Yep. Ban everybody else's but let the Commies keep theirs.
Ha. ^
Gun Control should be treated like a Driver's License. At a certain age a citizen must take a short test to get a learners permit to own a gun. While having this permit he may only use his gun on range. Procedures will be taken to lock the gun unless at a range. After practicing at the range for about a year they may take a test to earn a gun license at which point they may own a rifle or something.....I'm working out the kinks of the plan.
I think that's logical.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
*What does Viva la mean?
Absolutely
I am also conventionally.
My vote goes to you because Godisdead has done things I don't agree with.
(:
[B]Being drafted:[/B] the Allocating Principled Powers Enabling Appeals to Litigation (APPEAL) Act.
Oh but only in this region, only so you get people's votes, right?
Thanks for the support Broseph.
:)
lack vote ankha
He likely will when he gets back.
Ok.
Same with CI.

What? ^
Hello
Hello!
Yay. Thanks CI. ^
Welcome to Libertatem.

My nation is now a anarchy.
Hey man!
Oh. Cool.
The Second REAGAN Treaty has been written, and awaits the ratification of this region's legislature.
Oh, yes... It's not like the Democratic party isn't American, either... No, No... They're too liberal or too leftist or, dare I say, communist.
This is ridiculous...
There's a reason people aren't Republican, and they're for the completely opposite reasons that people aren't Democrats. ;)
Oh? Pangea what are your politics.
And might I introduce myself. This is the puppet of the nation The Time Alliance .
I'm a Liberal Socialist Libertarian.
And what would you say those reasons are?
You know what? Let's just implement radical forms of left wing ideology to show them how bad it is. I am talking a 99% income tax on the rich and 50% on the poor, a minimum wage of $40, unlimited immigration with a free welfare for all, affirmative action for everyone who can claim to be disadvantaged, and ban any sort of "oppressive" transaction of money. Let's see how long America survives with that, and when the country needs to be bailed out by the EU or something, we can go "we told you so."
That's how nihilistic I am feeling today. Destroy everything and we can rebuild from the ground up. Dust to dust.
looks like someone wants to see Atlas shrug
Question to the canidates, how would you vote on the new REGAN treaty as now proposed if it came to a vote at the board?
*candidates
#dyslexicprobs
This whole post gave me cancer. Your doing Radical Left-Wing wrong.
Income Tax= Set by amount made and Factors such as health and children.
MW= $10
Free Healthcare
Ban Money
And Equalize all socially
Implement a Direct Democracy
Centralize government economically
Central government is ran by the people
To be fair I am also partly curious of the effects. But I would prefer to watch it from another country, like a sadistic crowd watching someone get hung by the death penalty.
This whole post gave me cancer. Your doing Literally everything wrong wrong
Ban Money = MW= $10
Centralize government economically = And Equalize all socially
Without becoming purely communist, how do you get a MW of $10 and a set income tax if there is no money?
Logic don't flow
Watch it end up working in the long term and you sitting there with a wide open jaw. My reaction would be like. "Wow....It does work..."
I'm going by Left-Wing logic. Didn't say it was my logic.
Yes, comrade. Next we can abolish work and let robots take over!
Lack -I would vote yes. Alone, we cannot neutralize totalitarian powers, but together with greater magnitude, as Minerva knows such as with raiding, we have a much better chance.
It actually isnt that bad. Ive seen both movies and the book.
Using what I just posted and applying my changes.
Income Tax= Set by amount made and Factors such as health and children.
MW= $5-7
Free Healthcare
Equalize all socially
Implement a Direct Democracy
Or let Humpy take over.
But the Proletariat won't have jobs!
*Time Alliance puts on the red cape of the Proletariat once more becoming "The Hero of the Proletariat"*
literally the worst idea ever
Post self-deleted by Ankha.
Exactly.
Besides untinting the windows on Chris's office....
How so? How so?
It gives the people the ability to better express THEIR opinion on things. And all we have to do is kill of electoral college. I'm not saying we vote on every law, but that we demolish Electoral college and get a say in more important laws.
therefore, *finishing for TTA* the economy and jobs dont exist because people are voting on frivolous things all day therefore.....
........
Anyways. My results on the World's Smallest Political quiz changed
from a 90 to a 100 on Personal Freedoms
and
From a 50 to a 60 on Economic Freedoms
I'm not sure how I feel about Reagan Treaty 2. I'll probably support it.
Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
