Region: Libertatem
The "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment" box made me contemplate my political ideology. That's a difficult one, in my opinion.
Heh.
Naw man. The compass gave me a
Economically: Left/Right -0.28 (0.28 for being a complete Centrist)
Personally, I find it is indeed more important to control inflation.
Your money's worth more? Well, good, because now your supplies cost less and you can afford to employ more people, if you need to.
Plus, you know, how would one intend to control unemployment without ensuring the money's valuable and people have lots of it (lower taxes)? You can't, really, not without loads of intervention.
At least, not the way I understand it.

Guess my scores...
Economic Left/Right: 7.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46
Almost an An-Cap, just a bit more rational than those anarchists though.
http://www.politicalcompass.org/test
Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21
There you have it, folks.
Heck I got a social Libertarian -7.95 on it (Most Libertarian score I've seen)
I remember Disserbia once had one at 8 something right and -8 something social libertarian, but she parted ways from NS a while back.
That's pretty far right. Good lord.
I got 7.12 economic right, 1.44 authoritarian.
Does anybody have different political standings for themselves?
I find myself wanting to be Supreme Autarch of the World, which would make myself pretty much as far right as possible because of the unavoidable bigotry and restricted freedoms that would result. But then again, the "realistic" political views of mine are much, much farther left.
This.
I'm
-0.28/-7.95 ...
What do you mean different political standings?
I mean that the "in my perfect world" political standing I'm super far right (somewhat akin to a nationalist imperialist), but the "realistic" part of me is pretty far left (supporting homosexuals and their rights, gender equality, etc.).
I'm retaking the test with my beliefs that reflect how I would run the world, or how I run my current nation on NationStates.
I think there's a bit of punctuation missing from this sentence...
I'm a little confused on what that region is all about. It says in the WFE that it was "co-founded by Ankha and Hallo Island", but I'm not sure which one is which.
Their Founder also told me that the Board already voted against creating embassies with them. Is this true? And if so, why wasn't I told about it?
This just in: American had been bashing us behind our backs. It is clear he holds nothing but contempt for the origins of this region and for our Constitution. And he seems not to understand our political system either.
The Libertarian Republic of The United Amarican Republic

REATO is just a group of warmongers and fake Libertarians.
Not to mention that Libertatems Legislature is frozen. Making Libertatem a De facto Dictatorship under executive order.
I encourage the people of this region to vote no to REATO. REATO is an organization sworn to war especially on communism. Therefore is in violation of the Human Right of free speech.
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.92
Now that I have taken the test utilizing answers that reflect my country.
Our flag is a giant slash mark through the hammer and sickle. We as a group have been against communism from day one. Why are you just now bringing up some group that is against communism and "therefore is in violation of the Human Right of free speech." There is practically no difference between us and them.
I'm certain she was almost in full An-Cap down there.
Pev was quoting Amarican's message. The residents of this region have been acting against us since their formation, believing that terrorism is the answer to advancing their interests here.
I recommend the Board vote on a proper course of action.
Oh, the part against the free speech was a direct quote from Amarican?
If only there were punctuation marks to indicate such as to avoid confusion.
Amarican, I would happily debate the libertarianism of REATO and even whether you are a libertarian. You've got it wrong if you expect to jab the region behind another region and not expect a response.
I started off at around E -2 S -2 when I first took the test in 2012. Now I have shifted to this:
http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=10.00&soc=-5.38
My compass is E 5.12, S -2.97.
So that's nice.
I remember being like 0.something for both when I started with NS.
Pretty cool.
I was literally on the right side but on the line that connected both right and libertarians.
The region is a Direct Democracy. We voted against Libertatem as a region with only a few voting to for.
I, who tracks the voting, can say that the Libertatem embassy voting thus far has been
3 FOR
5 AGAINST
Whos bashing behind whos back?! You have betrayed me way way to many times......*epic facepalm*
AND YOU VOTED AGAINST EMBASSYS WITH THIS REGION!!
but, if it makes you all happy, we have decided, by vote, that there will also be no embassy with UCR and The Internationale and other ideological rrgions. We dont really want any ideological relations, but we do vote....so...
(Also, os the region "Seafieldia" just hundreds of puppets??! Its ALOT OF PUPETS.)
I'd like to apologize to the region for the criticism I have expressed in a region other then this one. If I have something to say I should say it to the citizens of the region.I announce that humpheria will run unopposed if no one else decides to run.
When are elections for president?
Just be honest with us. You've been relatively quiet about all of these issues that you've decided to bring up on a foreign RMB.
August.
Okay good. I have time.
That's because all the people that agree with me have puppets that are more active over in COIN. When I dare bring it up here the response is always "we need to preserve tradition". Traditions can be changed otherwise the Scandinavians would still be looting Europe.
Nothing like a good scandal to get things moving.
That's the exact same argument liberals use to attack the Second Amendment. The War on Communism is not just mandated by the Constitution, it's the very reason why Libertatem was created. If any misguided future politician decides to end it, the region itself will die, and all its progress will be lost to the ages.
Scandinavians stopped looting Europe, and then turned to looting their people.
I'll be running for President against Humph if I'm appealed.
That feel when explaining Capitalism and Inflation to a Democrat.
With excessive taxation and regulation.
Who's bashing? I'm telling it like it is; I'll leave all judgments and bashing to the proper authorities, as it should be.
CI the hell you mean by this?
"The residents of this region have been acting against us since their formation, believing that terrorism is the answer to advancing their interests here.
I recommend the Board vote on a proper course of action."
I mean that many of the region's residents have been criticizing this region and its leaders behind their back rather than peaceably assembling here. Hiding behind the sovereignty of another region is not an effective campaign technique.
I'm bringing the comments made in COIN to the public's attention. It's up to them to decide what to do about it.
That would be wise, but could you explain why you said the things you said?
Man, I leave for a little while and miss out on all the fun

So you have a lot going on don't you?
Spent the last hour or so smacking around a Communist proving the ideology was politically dead.
So..
They are only terrorists if they talk about the leadership behind their backs?
Because if so I am safe.
Wow. CI this is pathetic. Honestly.
I was hoping, and expected, that you would.
I cannot describe in words how much I do not remotely understand what you are even saying right now. I just don't get you. You say those things in another region and expect them not to be criticized in this region? That's a Wow.
No, I meant that CI is calling people IN COIN, MY REGION, terrorists! for speaking their mind. AND Humph, I dont think we will ever "get" eachother...
I don't know about the terrorist stuff, but can you blame anyone here for being a little miffed about some of the stuff you guys have said?
So long as I'm not called a terrorist. I don't care.
Yes,I blame the people that arent trying to fix it.
Some people don't think the war is a problem.
You've taken the minority of this region and when you couldn't make them the majority, you took them to a place where you met up with communists, who are against the war to make yourselves a de facto foreign majority.
Ok? Some people prefer vanilla to chocolate.
It truly is a problem (at least what were doing with it)
It either needs ro end (Won't happen) or be fixed to target THE GROUPS WE SHOULD BE TARGETING (Possible)
An ice cream shop sells vanilla and chocolate. But much more chocolate is available. So the people who like vanilla open a new shop and bring in more vanilla lovers to trash people who like chocolate. While still eating at the original shop.
I personally applaud the efforts of REATO to combat totalitarianism and authoritarian communists.
Whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
They aren't targeting the real threats. Just like us they harass small regions.
Well it's like they say man, sometimes you eat, ah the bar, and ah sometimes, you know the ah, well you know
Looks like Australia finally repealed the Carbon Tax.
Actually, the Nordic countries have the best (read: lowest) regulatory burdens in the world, with strong property rights protection and legal systems. This is why they are so wealthy.
You have no idea what you're talking about. We certainly are targeting the groups we should be - the imperialists and the raider groups. Learn more about foreign policy before making silly blanket statements.
So that's why are military goes on operations against regions that have only about 2 pagea of members and an inactive RMB?
We have targeted who we needed to, we need to continue.
Yeah. We hit certain targets for certain reasons, but I don't see you complaining about how we infiltrated The Communist Region and then proceeded to marginalise it? We attack the 'biggest' regions we can. It's not a peach to invade a 100-nation region. You have no idea how to lead an army or even participate in one, as shown by your incompetence in Benevolent Capitalism that probably blew the whole operation.
It's not me that blew the raid. They knew I was a friendly so long as no one endorsed me. Someone came in using a puppet and endorsed me
It wasn't me he screwed up it was said person who owned the puppet.
And Pev. You know so much...
There was no need to liberate benevolent Capitalism. It had a founder that could kick all the commies out. If this were real life you would have wasted solders lives on a pointless mission.
Aw hell.
Uh, the founder requested for help.
He didn't need any. He could literally do it on his own
The founder requested it and as an ally we acted accordingly.
He didn't need help. he could banject them without a problem. It's not like it was founderless. he could easily banject each commie in the region.
My god America is dumb: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/04/07/the-less-americans-know-about-ukraines-location-the-more-they-want-u-s-to-intervene/
Again, he asked for help. If he didn't ask and we did it anyway, then that is another story.
He asked for help. When he did that we should have helped. By telling him how to press the banject button.
Of course the nanny state does not want smart citizens. It wants Democratic votes.

Guys, RGB =/= Hex
Well, technically, Hex is also RGB, but you can't exactly punch a hex code into paint.net and do stuff, and I can't be bothered converting hex codes into regular RGB.
So, uh, don't register with hex codes.
But you don't know that. Nobody there knows who you are, so to go in thinking that they thought you'd somehow turned against us was incredibly naive. To them you'd still be a Libertatemite. Nevertheless, your premature entry sounded the alarms to the occupiers. You were explicitly ordered to go in at the last minute, not come up with your own bullshit plan. You were just as much to blame as the other guy for the failure of that operation.
He did kick the commies out, but then they came back in. It was extremely embarrassing. No, if it was real life we would've gone in, toppled the occupiers and made way for the government to rebuild itself. But we blew it.

Whatever your thoughts on the whole Ukraine issue, this is disgusting. All he cares about is campaigning.
Sounding particularly Tea Partyish today, aren't we Pev? But yeah, it's bad.
Tea Partyish? In what way? :P

Hitler's Courtyard of the Old Residency in Munich is a good painting.
fascist sympathizer!
Well, he was a good artist.
Shame he didn't keep going with that, he had potential.
He tried, but was shot down for not drawing people.
I hate drawing people. People are boring. And whenever there are drawings or paintings of people, it's usually in a romantic or idealized manner and not people as how they are. Kinda like the beauty industry. F*ck them.
Hitler should of moved to America. American artists tend to focus less on people and more on landscapes, generally speaking.
He also had a hard time making sure the proportions between objects (i.e. doors in relation to walls, people in relation to buildings, etc.). He was more talented with painting than I will ever be, though.
You know I am beginning to realize that I have all the artistic problems that Hitler had...
http://sobadsogood.com/uploads/media/2014/03/09/nbfJZnc.jpg
This is an example of how he had a hard time painting people. The building behind it is beautiful, though.
Nein, nein. nein... your paintings would be better as you don't have the dreaded name.
Unless someone else steps up, I'm going to appoint [nation=short]Right-Winged Nation[/nation] to replace Amarican.
Why? What's going on?
