Region: Libertatem
Is Justice Anthony Kennedy retires today, that's YUGE news. It gives conservatives a majority on the bench and ensuring safe 1st and 2nd amendments for years to come. Also gives El Presidente another accomplishment under his belt.

Uinta's, Moab, Wind-Rivers, Banff, Glacier, you name it. as long as it doesn't have a road to it :)
Me and my family go backpacking a lot (no kidding). this year we are going to hike part of the John Muir trail in California. Its going to be the longest one we have aver done, over 100 miles! I'm exited and a little freaked out.
I love hiking in southern Utah, but I hate the heat! so up in the Uintas and places like that, is generally what I prefer.
My favorite so far was a week long we did at Banff and Mt Assiniboine in Canada. But I still will hike the Uintas any day :)

I'm gay but only ironically
I was just looking at some of the more prominent citizens in our region. And I noticed that unlike me, a large amount of you do not have any police force.
I always just excepted that law enforcement was something government should do. I am starting to doubt that know. Could someone explain why you guys chose to be police free?
P.S. And by "you guys" I mean, Pevvania, Narland, Miencraft, and Auxorii.
Libiceland
I didn't choose to be police free, I'm actually answering issues to boost law enforcement. The reason why there is a lack of funding to law enforcement is because my nation is very lax and libertarian. There's not really a lot of laws to enforce.
Rateria, Libiceland, Pulceria
Libertarian? Really? 50% tax almost and 78% percent of GDP in government spending
It wasn't a conscious decision. In pursuing maximum (that is, 90+) rights, the police force ends up going down on its own. RP-wise, Miencraft does actually have a decent police force, but gameplay-wise, the only path to a libertarian nation involves cutting your police into nothing.
It's probably also related to the fact that my nation actually has negative taxation according to the game.

Hello this is an anonymous Libertatem citizen who is conducting anonymous polls through telegram figuring approval ratings and the such.
I sent the telegrams out in batches of eight as I do not have stamps, please reply with answers as soon as possible.

You guys are sending me a lot of stuff, just made an update, soon to make another.
By the way 2 of you started abstaining, so I guess that's a thing now.

Don't worry you are the best one we have :)

Hey. The reason I am anonymous is because I know that people may face consequences if they stand up against others in the region. I promise to keep everyone who votes in my poll anonymous too so you don't face attacks. I also promise that my numbers are solely representative of the votes that I get. I am planning on releasing the votes without releasing the names by photoshopping the names out of telegrams, I'll do that when I get around 20-25 votes. God bless.
Miencraft, Rateria, Libiceland, Jadentopian Order, Pulceria
ALERT: an anonymous voter just changed his vote. This is allowed, but wanted to tell people the explaination for certain people losing votes may be this person changing their vote or others in the future.

[B]ANNOUNCEMENT
My fellow Libertatemites,
We stand on the edge of an era of unprecedented prosperity and greatness. In the past several months, we have been catapulted out of the fringes of inactivity and towards a boom in activity and discourse. The region has made great strides. Under my tenure as Speaker of the Senate, we have seen crucial reforms to the Constitution, mergers with other regions and the size of government reduced. I must thank President Humpheria for his resolve and patience in leading this region over the past month, and his years of service to this region's government. We are all so proud of and grateful for your work. You are a patriot and a credit to this region.
But our position is beginning to shake. We have lost some of the nations that came here in the population boom a few months ago. Activity has declined. We have seen the departure of one of our great veterans and the resignation of a President. Our incumbent has announced his intention not to seek reelection. If we are to continue our upward climb to the future, we need a steady pair of hands that will guide the course and protect our liberties along the way. We need someone who's faced the challenges of leadership, yet has the ear of the people. We need someone with conviction that's open to new ideas. And we need someone who's strong enough and decisive enough to lead Libertatem into the future.
I am that someone. And so, I hereby announce that I am running for President of the Second Republic of Libertatem with the Reaganist Libertarian Party.
Four years ago, we were in a time of crisis. Our population was at a record low, we had lost some of our best and brightest, the government was completely dysfunctional and the region was, in the words of the founder, sinking into the abyss". I ran for President, pledging to make Libertatem great again. We did. We doubled the population, reformed the Constitution - laying the groundwork for the system of government we have today, including the very legislative and presidential elections we cherish - deregulated the private sector and launched a war against the forces of Communism that turned us into a military superpower.
Today, Libertatem, I believe, is great once again. But we can do better. Our friendships can be stronger. Our influence can spread wider. Our institutions more trusted. And our defenses more respected. I pledge to expand the size of our military by 50% to confront the threat of Communism and protect our friends and allies from aggression. I pledge to grow our region to the size of 200 nations. I promise a golden age.
My promises are not lofty. They are in the spirit of a people yearning for freedom and opportunity in their lives, with the security of knowing it can be protected.
I hope I can count on you all to support me in making this region stronger, freer and greater than ever.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the Republic of Libertatem.

Yowzers fella, I never got one of them telegrams
I bet there are still people wondering why Hillary lost
Pevvania, Fascist Dred
Tell me if you approve of each Humph, Minerva, Hyder, Rateria, Pevvania, Aradites, Auxorii, Jadentopia, Venomringo, and Miencraft via telegram.
Sorry you didn't get it.
When do I become a citizen?
I'm back
What are the prerequisites for receiving a telegram
Why did she lose?
Because of those damn Russians
Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
Have you applied?
If yes, whenever someone sees the telegram and approves your application.
If no, you have to apply.
I thought I sent them to all citizens but I might've made a mistake since I did them manually.
We're at almost half the citizen count polled in the most recent update, the true views of the people are becoming more and more apparent.
Now where have I heard that before :)
Why do we need more military again?
I don't care one bit for allies. All they do is get me into war, and ruin my peace.
good luck :)
A demagogue, typical.
But really, I don't know anyone I would prefer more.
Best wishes from Pulceria.

Thank you for the support, my friend.

Amen
Rateria
I mean yeah, but when I wanted to be a WA member, someone said I had to wait until august
I want everyone to read my texts in an Russian accents, it sounds funny
Rateria, Pulceria
No, you asked about running for President or Senator. Our elections are in August, so you can't run for them right now - and you're not a citizen so you need to become one to be eligible.
The WA is just go click a button to join and then you've joined. But in this region we don't care about the WA.
no
Libiceland
In the upcoming presidential race, if other people declare their candidacy we should plan to hold a presidential debate in August.

Hey there Coumba, long time no see. How's it going?
Somehow, I predicted that you would run for president.
Pevvania, Pulceria
Approaching the active citizenry, I must say, the people of Libertatem seem very satisfied with those who represent them.
Only one representative has an approval rating less than 50% in the entire government.
Congratulations Libertatem.
I think I broke Groudon
How do I become a citizen?
Maybe the "CITIZENSHIP" link in the WFE will have some information.
Apply to the Second Republic nation using the application template. It will be answered by either me, or one of my deputies (Hyderbourg or Miencraft).
TIL I have a sub-cabinet position even though I'm not allowed to hold any other government position.
Okay then. I'll just handle the requests.
Jadentopia is my main nation that watches over the IRU. Jadentopian Order is my puppet for here.
I can confirm this.
I don't by this horse manure your selling commie!
I hear white guilt makes good lubricant
I am announcing my candidacy for President of Libertatem, as well as launching a new party, the Reform Party, that is a centre right party that believes in classical liberalism, non-interventionism and small government. We believe that the current establishment and past administrations have been increasing the size of the government and have been increasing our military interventions, putting us in danger, not allowing us to fix our own problems and destroying our values. We want to reform this region by devolving the current government to a nonpartisan judiciary system and a direct democracy vote on legislation. We believe that the Senate should be deciding what legislation gets through, and the people themselves should be deciding by a majority vote on what legislation passes or doesn't pass. You can find my positions here:

You got my vote
Auxorii
Thank you.
I say to all, TELEGRAM me. READ my positions. Let's REFORM this region back to the people. Please, talk to me on NS or on discord, let's talk about the issues and let's get things done.

What even is toxic masculinity tho
That's ok, you vote for who you like, Pulceria. But we're a long way from the general and a long way from the debates, so keep an open mind. :)
Auxorii, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Libiceland, Pulceria
Oh trust me, I always keep an open mind :)
Pevvania, Libiceland
When do we gas the Muslims
Libiceland
Of course. Our regional government tries to do too much, and militarily is a great example. My opponent would like to increase the military by 50% (despite also wanting to decrease government employees to 5%), and this is not a way to peace. We must have integrity. I am in the military, and I have seen military programs and interventions firsthand for the sole reason of having a different ideology than us. We should be supporting civil discourse between all peoples under any banner. My opponent not only wants to attack and invade regions based only on their ideology, but is simultaneously supporting a merge with a region whose president shares that exact same ideology...will go as far as to intervene and overthrow their government for being communist while also backing deals to merge with a communist region. A vote for me is a vote to mind our own business and focus on making our region, more prosperous and devolving the regional government.
Libiceland
The current establishment will vote for their friends, and that's how it is. Together, we can establish a more fair and democratic region that works for all people, not just the same politicians, in just different offices.
Libiceland
Are you sure you should be running? Please consult approval ratings, that's why they're there.
Pevvania
First of all, good luck with your campaign, it's great to see this kind of active political engagement. Pluralism and competitive elections drive our region forward.
Private, you're bound to keep intimate military chatter off the RMB. So I'm not going to delve into that any further. But I will correct your factual errors out of courtesy. The military is a private volunteer organisation so its members are not employed by the government. Think of private militias in the US. You're horribly mixing your messaging - do we point blank oppose communism based on ideology or not? First you claim that we indiscriminately oppose state socialist regions based on their ideology, and then you claim we're merging with one. Which is it? And I'll have you know that the Central Pacific Empire is ideologically neutral and its members are moderates, not Communists, so you are mistaken.
My message and my platform, Senator, stress regional greatness, and strength, and unlocking the full potential of our region. We need a strong leader who knows the ropes and can guard our region from all threats, foreign and domestic. We do not need a president who is weak on defense and weak on the economy.
And I'll remind you that my message is a popular one. During my first Presidency, I was re-elected unanimously and then a second time by a vote of 24 to 4, one of the biggest landslides in electoral history. Times were different back then, but we also had a 'populist' candidate like yourself who espoused much of the same views.
Again, I wish your campaign luck, and I look forward to a positive, cordial, issues-based campaign.
Miencraft, The United States Of Patriots
Wow this is going to be quite the showdown. Cant wait for the debates!!!! :)
Miencraft, Rateria, Libiceland
That's because of the RLP member and their allies voting against him. They see him as a threat

Friendly reminder that discussion of sensitive military information outside of approved channels is grounds for charges of treason.
Miencraft, Pevvania, Rateria, Hyderbourg
If anything sounds like evil secretive government, that does (No offence to Humph). Why would we hide military info when we are not at war?
"Down with government Confidentiality. Up with trust and freedom."
Libiceland
I don't mean to get involved in regional politics since I am solely a polling nation, but even if the people "downvoting" Auxorii are the RLP and allies, they are still citizens of Libertatem and they're still a majority of voting nations.
Sounds kind of hypocritical how you say that the RLP is a tyrannical party even when "they" beat you through democratic means.
That's the last you'll hear from me, sorry for getting involved.
I am officially announcing my candidacy for President of Libertatem.
When I was accused of breaking the penal code of Libertatem, the region wanted me out of office. They knew that I had served as a strong president, but they needed time to consider the allegations made against me. Rather than grasp on to power as a tyrant, I stepped down. This is my favorite moment in my administration. I stepped down from the most coveted position because I was asked to, not because I had to.
That is the kind of President I was, the kind that listens, regardless of what that meant for me personally.
I am not afraid to say that every action that I took as President, was one influenced or inspired by another citizen of the region.
The success that was clearly apparent is not my success, but yours.
Under this governing style, Libertatem saw an improvement in activity that was unprecedented; we used recruitment techniques that almost tripled the population of the region, established the military ranks that are still in place to this date, and started the tradition of mergers that is now a staple of this region.
For that reason, I am not going to outline my rigid positions of regional affairs, because my position simply doesnt matter, solely yours does.
My campaign will not be based upon arguing or advertising, it will be based upon listening.
I have partnered up with [nation=short]libertatem polling service[/nation] as well as other nations in this region to work on what the people of Libertatem truly want, as that is what I will do as President.
God bless you all.

I, too, will announce my candidacy for President of Libertatem.
If elected, I promise I will do absolutely nothing. That's right. Nothing.
I intend to follow in the legacy of my favorite president, William Henry Harrison, in the sense that, if elected, it will be as if I died shortly into my term.
It will be like I'm not even here.
I look forward to receiving your vote.

What is everyone's opinion on giving Libertatem Polling Services communications role so he can conduct polls more easily? As a private entity his usage would be limited but if this polling stuff is something everyone likes then I don't see why not.
Thoughts?
