Region: Libertatem

History

No need to have the proud member of Anticomintern insignia in the WFE now.

I disbanded the organization because it wasn't very effective.

Of course we have the citizens of Libertatem to fight against communism, but what are y'all's thoughts on the creation of a grand army with a hierarchy?

That's what our empire is for, is it not?

We can have an Imperial Army to root out evil from NationStates.

Perhaps a bill could be created on how the army shall function. I don't want to do it, though.

About my earlier post, What I meant was that he is constantly campaigning and he doesn't seem to care much about the Constitution anyways... He already wants to take the 2nd amendment away. After all "HE IS THE PRESIDENT! LEADER OF THE UNIVERSE!"

What is my recruitment puppet smoking? The answer probably isn't nothing, considering it's 5th in the region for highest drug use.

Can't tell if I should be glad or ashamed of 35th highest drug use.

Probably means the lack of drug restrictions is actually working. All those illegals went somewhere else to be illegal.

There aren't any major drug restrictions in my nation either...and what should I care if some but not all people are doing drugs? That's their business.

Drug use is only a problem in the welfare state.

My nation might not test well in terms of intelligence, but that's not quite the same as not possessing it. We simply don't conform to those liberal international standards for education.

Coincidentally, the day before the intelligence tests were conducted in Miencraft, most people were evacuated due to a storm. The few that stayed scored pretty well.

For the first time EVER in Conservative Idealism, I am intentionally dismissing legislation. Seriously, there is just no good answer for World Assembly Woes.

I dismiss legislation so often I am starting to feel annoyed by legislatory matters overall.

I had a good run where I dismissed no issues, but then one came up that was so terrible I just had to dismiss it.

My nation dismisses about half the issues for lack of a decent option, and perhaps even more.

Breaking News, Socialist Dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is dead. If the Venezuelans are smart then democracy and liberty can bloom there.

Somewhere, Dennis Rodman is crying.

Sean Penn is probobly slitting his wrists and weeping " Oh why did my socialist love leave me?! Now who will take all of my income and give people a free ride on the government train?"

I stand corrected. It turns our Chavez is a capitalist after all, with some analysts estimating his personal fortune somewhere around $2 billion. His stint as El Presidente turned out to be quite the entrepreneurial venture after all. Why is it that the staunchest anti-capitalists are also very adept at amassing fortunes, Michael Moore?

I'm not sure if your joking or not but to call Chavez a capitalist is to call one's self a complete idiot.

Yeah, no question he's not a capitalist. He is however, a hypocrite. Like Michael Moore. Chavez' personal fortune, somewhat ironically, is somewhere around $2 billion. By his standards, it's not ok for a business to turn a profit while providing jobs, but it is ok for himself to turn a profit by exploiting a nation. Or was. He's dead, and that's good.

Ugh. I've just been changed to "Civil Rights Lovefest" from corporate bordello, which is awful since I have it on the conservative simulator which then says I'm a nation full of "Nation Hating Hippies." My nation is constantly having its status changed. I hope I get reclassified as something else soon. I just had legislation pass through that will lower taxes, hope it helps!

Usually my nation is either Capitalist Paradise or Inoffensive Centrist Democracy... *shrugs* I'd prefer not to be the latter, but so long as I'm making the right decisions, I'm fine with how others classify my nation.

I've usually been classified as Inoffensive Centrist Democracy the most since I tend to stay in the middle of a lot of issues, but somehow that makes me "communist" according to the simulator. LOL

I've been sticking around Capitalizt for a while. Not sure exactly how good that is but I suppose it could be worse.

According to AG Eric Holder that drone strikes in the USA are possible. He defined it under "extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate".

So I think this, isn't this a bit overkill? And whats to stop the government from using other deadly weapons? Why stop with unmanned drones?

http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/05/politics/obama-drones-cia/index.html

They can kill American citizens, on American soil, without trial because Eric Holder says so. It's total nonsense. But they are totally against waterboarding because that's too extreme...

And thus, "transparent" was re-defined to mean "hypocritical."

They were ok with the idea of having no background checks on the fast 'n' furious guns that were sold to Mexican cartels. Sometimes I wonder if the hypocrisy is intentional or a side effect of stupidity.

Perhaps I should attempt to make as much money as I possibly can and use it to buy a private island that I can redesign into my own actual country so I won't have to deal with another nation's politics.

That's a good idea. I'll go join you in doing something like that.

I seriously have half a mind to create, like, this big club consisting of all of my friends and acquaintances across the Internet, then form some sort of IRL meeting in which we could discuss something like that.

I must condemn my "peer", Eric Holder. It is incredible that he accepts and condones Obama's unconstitutionality.

The incredible thing is Obama's career as a teacher of constitutional law. There is literally no excuse. Not one.

I might be able to afford a 5x5 foot patch of land on your island. But awesome idea.

I've been thinking; everyone could put money into the island nation fund or whatever.

Would it be like Sealand?

Is this real money or a nationstates plan, I'm very confused by all of this talk.

Real money, but I don't know if I'll ever actually manage to plan this.

No, I'm hoping it will be an actual island so that it can have territorial waters.

Wha...how can I have government forces blocking off public schools if I don't even HAVE public schools? Whomever wrote that issue forgot to mention that it shouldn't apply to nations without public education.

...What happened at The Isles of Liberty? Sounds like it was a real problem, whatever it was.

I would like to notify you all that I am going to resign from my position as Manager of Military Affairs. This is because I do not see myself fit to meet the growing demands of this position because of the growing Empire. I wish to continue to help in any way I can, and hope there will be a suitable replacement. Thank you.

Has anyone here taken the political compass test on politicalcompass.org? I find it kind of faulty... Rated me "Economic Left/Right: -0.62" and "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.67". It also says I'm right in the area of France's president, yet I don't despise the wealthy and I don't want to tax them 75%... So I am befuddled.

I'm also anti-leftist, since I really hate modern day liberals.

I am currently looking to appoint a new board member as well as a new manager of military affairs. Contact me via telegram if you are interested.

It pleases me to inform you all that I have appointed The Constitutional Land Of Freedom as board member. Welcome her to her new position!

Welcome aboard, [nation=short]The Constitutional Land of Freedom[/nation].

Get it?

Aboard. Board.

Ah, forget it.

Miencraft, I got it.

I am confused... I click on our region tags, and it says we are an "invader" region. So I ask, since when have we been invaders?

We invade communist regions and turn them capitalist whenever we can.

Really? Since when, I haven't seen a mass of our region members heading in to another region to take it over, or have I seen us calling for it. Maybe I'm just not in the know how?

They're small scale and you never use your main nation to invade.

Alright that makes sense. But I'm guessing the discussion of a raid is kept in private, right?

Anyhow speaking of raiding and stuff, what are people's thoughts here on the situation over in the Korea's where the North is throwing a hissy fit.

Do you guys think anything would come from it?

The status of things in North Korea make me laugh. Perhaps they'll put on a good show before we wipe them off the face of the Earth for attempting to reach our level of the arms race.

We haven't had legislation at vote in a long while.

To the person referring to Political Compass, I decided to take it again and received these results:

Economic Left/Right: 9.12

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.59

I am kind of a libertarian, but the test isn't that accurate. I am near Milton Friedman who I agree a lot with.

E L/R: 7.88 (heck yeah)

S L/A: -1.74 (could be better, I suppose)

Friedman is a legit libertarian.

It was I that brought it up, but my point was to bring out its accuracy. I've taken other political test and I've bounced around from centrist, to moderate republican, and even libertarian. I did one where it would show me which candidate I leaned towards the most in the presidential election. It said I agreed with the libertarian candidate by 83% or something like that, and with Romney around 70%.

Its just the politicalcompass.org always has me left of center, which I find odd.

I just remembered that I emailed my results from that test, and that I never delete my old emails, which I should. Anyways, as it turns out, it was Gary Johnson that I sided with 89% of my views, while I agreed with 82% of Romney's views. So I was way off.

These are my results:

http://www.isidewith.com/results/99674912

You can click on the multiple categories and you could see how I sided.

Pity that Gary Johnson was not only disreputable (had a penchant for lying, I heard), but also (in terms of political views) neither Republican nor Libertarian.

I really didn't know who Johnson was nor supported him. The site just takes your answers and pairs them up with all the candidates that agree with what you chose.

If you look at my link and click on the first issue you'll see what I chose and what other candidates positions are. You'll notice that many of the candidates were all in agreement on certain issues.

I didn't truly find out who Gary Johnson was until I took that test a long time ago before the election. My results were as follows:

http://www.isidewith.com/results/257004637

I sided with Johnson 90% and Romney 71% and I sided with the Libertarian Party 81% and the Republican Party 83%.

This quiz is a quick way to see a general outline: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz

Although it is very short to be considered accurate, it is still interesting. I always end up in the Libertarian Portion.

I am from New Mexico.

Huh, so there is a NEW Mexico? What happened to the old one?

And I am from Jupiter. ;)

The espionage is srs bsnss.

So I went and played RuneScape for the first time in forever, and the new quest is amazing.

I haven't played it yet, but ushering in a new age in such a widely renowned fantasy-based role-playing game is a feat not accomplished since The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

So I refounded a commie region.

Wow, that was opportunistic. (I actually had a part to play in getting the original founder out, too. I can't believe I forgot about it.)

Indeed. I wonder if he even noticed...he's probably too busy trying to make sure no one invades the actual TCR. For all the good that will do him...

Libertatem WA members, I urge you all to vote against the Physical Sites Protection Act, or not. It puts too much stress on industry, so I vote nay.

I second what Tonakistan said.

So new pope, with a never before used name before. Seems nice enough.

The dude rode the bus everyday and lived in a small apartment, led a very humble life.

I wonder if that gives us an insight in to what kind of pope he will be.

Dear invaders of my boots, get this Libertatem Repository. Hit one capitalist to educate 100! All power to the united workers! May Socialism spread all over the world!

Stupid communist, you made that region yourself. Coward.

Prove it, little idiot capitalist! LOL

For starters, it's a dumb name you made up and we're more creative. Second, we only use that name for this region and the Empire. Third, a simple telegram to the mods could inform one of the region's history. Fourth, you didn't post the previous Factbook info.

Now go off and fantasize about fictitious economics and eliminating the middle class.

Forth: you can add i am here teasing you, in your home, and nothing you doing.

Which is best privilege for me.

Fifth: if you think Libertatem was very original and creative, no wonder capitalism is falling down.

Sixth: Down to capitalism!

And last, but not least: i know it burns, accept it;)

We value freedom of speech, but if you continue your Marxist rhetoric, you will be ejected.

We do not hate you, join us in this region and learn of the economic, social, and political system that is capitalism.

What is Capitalism?

Capitalism is a social system based on the principle of individual rights. Politically, it is the system of laissez-faire (freedom). Legally it is a system of objective laws (rule of law as opposed to rule of man). Economically, when such freedom is applied to the sphere of production itsÂ’ result is the free-market.

Good lesson...

For the rest, i suggest you reading the grundrisse by Karl Marx.

It is very illuminating, you will see...

Back to serious things, instead, here is the deal: you abandon The Real Communist Region, and i'll let you have back your Libertatem repository.

It is a fair trade, you marketist...

Practically, it is a restriction of government into the affairs of the people. It's sole purposes is national defense and defending property rights.

I'm not going to trade a real region for a BS one. I've read the Manifesto, some of Das Kapital, and some of the older stuff. Yeah, collectivism resulting in violence in the real world.

The communist society is a fallacy. It is achievable only through socialist coercion, which violates individuals' rights and kill the undesirable class of people (of which I'm a part).

Lol. We've never had a repository, nor do we need one. The Real Communist Region remains ours.
