Hey long time no see Roads
Looks like Hayek Islands has been "destroyed" by HYDRA. I don't know what that means or what weapons they used.
Maybe...Hayek..splosives? :)

Villainy knows no bounds, especially in comic books. Can that be retconned?

I'll have you know that I am the authority on cults here now =P

I consider my religion as a denomination more than a cult.
A denomination of a cult.
precisely!

We Belong Together vs Touch my Body vs Obsessed vs #Beautiful
which is the best out of them?
None of the above?

I reduced the obesity and now am rebuilding the libertarian policies. Seems like there are some stances that do both tasks of keeping obesity low and improving liberties.
Rateria
The only muh roads denomination is those dang "Muh highways" seperatists. But it takes a road to get to a highway.
New Jaslandia, Rateria
What about 'Muh Railroads'? And 'Muh Interstates'? And 'Muh Autobahns'? The schisms in the Church of Roads are endless!
Muh Roads, Rateria
We in collaboration with the church of Muh Airstrips will seek and put an end to these heretics!
New Jaslandia, Rateria
From personal experience, I suggest letting loose an inquisition. Also burning heretics in the public square helps.
New Jaslandia, Rateria
So how's that overthrowing coming along?
You want a constitution, or no?
Indeed! And once you're done with that, I suggest you purge the followers of Muh Airstrips as well. We all know you can't trust those shifty Muh Airstrippers, and they're a threat to the supremacy of Muh Roads!
Don't forget the witches! No religious persecution is complete without witch hunts!

If you'd like to draft one, I'd like to poke at it and see what else I can shove in there, yeah.
Out of the songs I listed which one is the most successful out of them?, We Belong Together , Obsessed, Touch My Body, or Don't Forget About Us
real answers this time
So... we gonna fight communism still or be a bastion of liberty? LOL
Freedom to act moronic is a thing.

I would like to see the new constitution do away with the War, honestly. We've come a long way with it, but we've won, and there's nothing more to gain from pursuing it.
That said, I shall prepare a new flag for the new Libertatem.
New Jaslandia, Rateria, Teuberland, United States Of Pandonia
my snake flag says "hi"
Rateria, Teuberland
Boooooooriiiiinngg.
I say we go hug our new friends at the red and black, maybe play some sarcastaball.

My porcupine flag would tread on your snake flag...if only your snake flag would initiate force to advance your political or social goals.
Rateria
I have the best libertarian-ish flag, but I can't use it because theme nation...
C'est la vie.
United States Of Pandonia
Unless you've all somehow determined, as I have, the futility of such conflict, I fail to see how you've... nay, we've... won in any sense.
(And even if you have, the only long-term military objective any of us have managed to accomplish in the history of Libertatem is the knowledge that we don't really need one. Though I do suppose such a moral victory is far better than nothing...)
New Jaslandia
Failure to stand against injustice is tantamount to compliance.
Back when you all (we) did stuff we were at least an annoyance, a redirection. That alone is victory enough in my eyes.
The conflict is futile because we've run out of enemies. The War is over because we have nothing left to do. That's why we've won.
New Jaslandia, Muh Roads, Rateria
I will start drafting a constitution today. If anybody wants anything added, speak up now.
New Jaslandia
I would like the ROADS amendment to be a formal part of the core constitution.

Could we keep the title of President?
I like the title of Chancellor for the Cabinet, but I personally prefer President for the executive, and if we're using Chancellor for both the executive and his cabinet that'd get confusing.
Other than that, could do with some provision directly in the Constitution to clarify if anything from the old one will be maintained, just so that we'll have a record of what we kept and what we didn't forever.
And there are some grammar things in there too but we can get that sorted out later.
All in all, I'd be totally in favor of that if we got those changes.
Muh brotha
I like it, I agree with keeping the title of President, although I'm not a fan of the Chancellor titles, maybe Secretaries instead? But that honestly is just name preferences and won't change anything.
Other than that, I suggest renaming the government as The Second Republic of Libertatem, since it is a new constitution but we're retaining a republican government. It will also differentiate from the current Republic.
New Jaslandia
How about a sanctuary for illegal aliens, since my citizenship application seems to have wound up in the round file.
Second
I like it. I only have two concerns: the President/Chancellor/Secretary name thing previously brought up, and the small size of the Senate. I feel 3 is too small for a legislature, and it would be better to have it be close to the same size as the current Board, with around 5 members.
Now tell me what you really think.
I think 3 is better than 5 simply because the purpose of the new gov. was to shrink and simplify the size of our regional government. We can add more as our population grows through amendment
Wow, I missed a lot. Well, good thing I spent over two hours reading everything.
I was going to comment on 3 but then I thought exactly what your second sentence was.
If 3 turns out to be too small, we can always change it, so it doesn't really matter.
Also, all the concerns I brought up in my other thing still stand. The title of the leader really needs to be different than the title of his advisors, and there's the question of whether or not anything from this constitution carries over.
Perhaps. I guess a three-man legislature was a shock to me because I'm from the CFN/NGA, where basically every citizen is a part of the legislature. Not saying I think Libertatem should go that route, I'm just saying it's not what I'm used to.
I feel like I should get into Libertatem's politics more? What do you think I should do?
If you want to get involved, and you're a citizen, I say feel free. I don't know when the next election will be, but whenever it happens, I'm sure your involvement would be appreciated.
Rateria
You all may tweak the const. anyway you like.
The elections aren't really explained.
And should the Chancellor really be able to appoint that many positions?
I would advise against the embassy with Imperium Slavicum, partially due to the fact that they've also proposed embassies with The Communist Bloc - of which there is no friendly relations between us, and partially the fact that Slavic nationalist regions have caused us a lot of trouble in the past.
Yeah, but neither are any other elections in the current system.
That said, expect my personal edits tomorrow.
Particularly ones that Bloodia was involved in, if I'm not mistaken.
Republic Of Minerva
Are there any open positions that you know of?
You could always run for a Board/Senate position.
I think the position of volunteer road builder has been vacant for some time.

I'll think about it, but I'll only run if no one else will. There are people who are way more qualified than I am.
wow I leave for a few days and I come back to 147 rmb posts
Rateria
That's what happens when we overthrow the government.
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Shirayuki Mizore
Untrue. I've been building the roads to success!
Rateria
We should make this the official song of Libertatem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIHuF8WvdFk
I still suggest to rename the Republic of Libertatem, as the Second Republic of Libertatem, for historical reference of the original republic, and the fact that we are retaining a republican form of government and making a new constitution.

I second the motion. If that motion does not succeed perhaps Libertatem 2.0?
Say, what's happening?
Everyone's plotting diligently how to leave the rest of us alone.
Rateria, Teuberland
If it were only so, what a world, what a world this would be.
Which motion? There are two Constitutions! Pick one! Aaaah!
.... Choices!? What kind of regime is this? We need a central planner or community leader to tell us what is in our best interest and what our opinion should be...er... Sorry, I was having a waking nightmare that we lived in a country where we thought we were free... wait a minute...

Wow, I gave my citizens a decent tax cut, and income falls as a result. Thanks Nationstates, for your nonsensical logic.
New Jaslandia
Uh, I don't even remember when or if we kicked you out.
If we did, the answer is probably: you're not.
Muh Roads did with this:
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=muh_roads/detail=factbook/id=414143
Oh.
Then the answer is you're not.
Humpheria
Hey y'all. Long time no see. Thought Id check in.
So, uh.
We've got to vote for something at some point.
I'll probably toss up the possible Constitutions as a poll or something unless we can narrow it down to just one to vote on and pass, or someone has anything more they want to change.
The United States Of Patriots
seems official it even uses "ยง's" what more could we possibly ask for?
Why not entwine the two into one Constitution and vote by item on the differences?
Is anyone planning on running for the legislature?
That's the kind of inefficiency we're trying to get rid of.
Ompedius
You've got my illegal vote if you campaign on a platform of faster citizenship application processing.
Constitution:
You are free do do as you please without government interference as long as you are not stealing, cheating or hurting someone else and will enjoy all the rights and privileges of a citizen as long as you are a producing member of society.

IC, Binding mischief with the shackles of a Constitution would be best with an efficient one. One Constitution to bind them all.
It's: "One constitution to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

Yes, that does have a certain ring to it. :)

What economic schools do you guys adhere to? Personally, I'm prone to the Austrian School, but I still need to look into it more.
