Region: Libertatem

History

A Roskovian Naval detachment consisting of 3 destroyers and 5 cruisers are sent to South Africa to defend our allies on the Southern region. We have also brought 3 battalions of Marines consisting of 1,000 marines each, 4 Cobra's, 8 Amtracks, 2 Abrams, 3 LAV's, and 25 Hummvees. The allies of Roskovia, are South Africa, Lesotho, Malawi, Madagasgar, Angola, Zambabwe, and swaziland.

We are disgusted by these flagrant violations of our natural rights. We, The Sovereign People's Of the Dark Continent have long struggled under the oppressive regimes of our own people. Now, just as we are starting to gain traction, foreign imperialist come to subjugate us! We will not stand for this.

Our agents incite riots in all major cities of the captured African lands. These are not soldiers of any state, these are civilians in their own land, guilty of no crime but wanting their freedom.

We demand the foreign imperialist forces leave our continent immediately. As for now our response to your unsolicited aggression is mild, but if your forces remain we will escalate our actions. There is nothing we won't do to secure our freedoms.

Here we stand, we can do no other.

Your move, imperialist scum.

I concur, Our allies will not be subjected to the shackles of imperialism. The Prime Minister of Roskovia is awaiting the response from the South African and Angolan governments for the permission to send the Roskovian Marines.

We have recieved permission from our allies in Angola, We will send the 1st brigade

A telegram from the government of Roskovia

"If the Roskovian Parliament agrees to send monetary aid and weapons, will your organization keep the assistance quiet. Also you must use the assistance in Blahbanian held lands"

Do you imperialist dogs expect help from the people to kill each over? You fools! The people of Africa are through being used by different states to gain political footing over one another. From henceforth any and all states that claim authority over lands in the Dark Continent are now considered enemies of the people and will be dealt with as such.

Blahbania sends more soldiers to combat this threat.

However, we have established democratic provincial governments in the provinces of Morocco, and Tunisia.

Fool soldiers can't kill an idea. Your meaningless blood shed only incites anger globally the world is watching.

As an act of civil disobedience "citizens" of the Blahbanian occupied lands openly state they will not vote in any elections held, nor pay any taxes to the Blahbanian regime.

We will not pull out!

Is the above anarchist an ancap or a commie?

*secretly sends weapons and monetary aid to the Anarchist Movement*

South Africa gives you permission Roskovia, and we appreciate your assistance in the matter.

Muh Roads strengthens defences around South Africa's borders, and kindly reminds the citizens of Muh Roads newly acquired lands that the minarchist government appreciates and respects the citizens right to protest. Muh Roads also reminds citizens medical and police personnel are on site, and to make use of the services if needed until the riots are quelled.

Blahbania wrote:We will not pull out!

The people realizing that neither free markets, nor free minds may flourish during a foreign occupation begin rally against Blahbanian troops all over the continent.

The mass protests hinder troop movement and stop supplies in their tracks. Effectively paralyzed the people wait for the imperialists to leave their land so that they may begin a free society, without fear of fascist occupation.

Pevvania wrote:*secretly sends weapons and monetary aid to the Anarchist Movement*

We rejected this clear attempt to hijack our movement. We will not be swayed by gifts or assistance. Our cause is righteous and we cannot be defeated.

After a leak out of the Pevvanian defense department showing the attempted giving of weapons to freedom fighters on another continent, the Pevvanian public is out raged.

"How dare they take our money through the slavery of income tax and use it to fund those fighting for more rights than we are granted at home! Just after legislation attempting to take our rights to bear arms, here the same governing body is providing weapons to foreigners on the other side of the world. Are we going to take this tyranny any longer?!" Shouts an agitator leading a protest outside the Pevvanian state building.

It is evident the philosophies of the Anarchist Movement are inter-continental in nature and appeal.

Muh Roads vice president, Jane K. Lou has announed to that due to Muh Roads peace initiative, any and all citizens/soliders injured due to conflict are offered free care by voluntary workers from Muh Roads.

Do you honestly believe our voices will be quelled by your meager show of "humanity" while at the same time you are allowing even more foreign soldiers into our lands? You must honestly believe we are the most idiotic population ever to be conceived!

All states, regardless of their level of benevolence, are enemies to the people, their minds, and their markets.

*protests turn to riots in Johannesburg after the news breaks that even more imperialists are moving into the freeland of Africa. Government buildings and embassies are burned as the tension escalates in the South African region.

People back home in Muh Roads citizens are beginning to question why their government is supporting the internationalist imperialist crusade. While the involvement may be mild currently, the citizens fear this may be the start of a slippery slope to endless turmoil.

A large block of citizens hold protests throughout Muh Roads against involvement I'm Africa.

President Carlton said in a statement, "Our attempts to support the free peoples of Africa have been rejected, so we will not be committing anything further to this war in any context."

Pevvania wrote:President Carlton said in a statement, "Our attempts to support the free peoples of Africa have been rejected, so we will not be committing anything further to this war in any context."

After the secret nature of the previous attempts to help rebels aboard the Carlton regime has lost credibility amongst the voting population. With elections coming up the incumbents can be sure to be worried.

The more radical citizens, disgusted with the trend of the Pevvanian government, have turned to sabotage military installations across the country and committing other subvert acts in an attempt to lessen the power of the Pevvanian armed forces. This sect of the population fears a police state is in the works and will be soon implemented.

Blahbania wrote:We will not pull out!

The Free Land Of Petacada formally requests an alliance with The Minarchist Republic Of Blahbania against the The Oppressed Peoples Of Anarchist Movement and all others trying to incite rebellion in the rightfully won territories of Africa.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform all imperialist interests that any allegedly "conquered" lands will require a constant force of soldiers. You are entering into an endless conflict. A reconsideration of your foreign policy

Blahbania sends more troops to unblock the routes, and is now encouraging Blahbanian immigration into some areas.

Petacada begins sending in riot control specialists to prepare for rebellion.

The voices speaking out against Muh Roads government are shunned by the population in general. The people of Muh Roads quite enjoy the political and civil freedoms they are granted. The protesters are simply protesting their own freedom.

Back in South Africa, Grassroots movements are being started to accept the new government of Muh Roads. Realizing the oppressive regime of the former South African government, these people feel truely liberated under the small, minarchist government of Muh Roads. Small business in South Africa is flourishing, and terrorism in the nation is being quelled.

The government of Muh Roads encourages protest and riot, too bring about a better South Africa.

Blahbania wrote:Blahbania sends more troops to unblock the routes, and is now encouraging Blahbanian immigration into some areas.

Also, people in the provinces of Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania have accepted our governancey, due to the fact they had oppressive governments before we took power.

A minority pocket if populations are accepting the foreign oppressors for self interest reasons, this does not represent the feelings or passions of the majority of African individuals. We remember the atrocities committed against by the former states. We do not forgive, not forget. The state is the enemy of freedom, of peace, of production, of the people.

Blahbania wrote:Blahbania sends more troops to unblock the routes, and is now encouraging Blahbanian immigration into some areas.

The blood shed caused by the Blahbanian forces causes international outrage. Thousands of peaceful protestors were mercilessly gunned down after refusing to move out of the way the imperial thugs. People around the world are beginning to see the true nature of the state, force.

Protestors escalate to militants as it become evident that the imperialists refuse a peaceful solution to the situation.

Local, and provincial governments are now working with the Blahbanian government to stop the anarchists.

We have uncovered 3 anarchist gun smuggling rings.

Can YOU balance the budget? http://www.kowaldesign.com/budget/

Vice president Jane K. Lou addresses the anarchists. "We understand your feelings as enemy of the state, we can only hope you come to accept Muh Roads in time. As a minarchist government, you will find we are only here for defence and to uphold contracts. Our (your) nation is wholly controlled by the popular vote. In the constitution of Muh Roads, it is a right of yours and an individual duty to ensure that the government of Muh Roads does not oppress your right to absolute freedom. Your concerns are noted. However, as long as the populace in majority feels South Africa has been liberated, your tolerance of others is expected. If you impeed on the rights of others in Muh Roads, you will be expected to pay your debt to society. You also have the option to move on, Muh Roads keeps an open border policy with the key slogan "Don't like it? Then leave.". We love and respect the people of South Africa, which is why we felt the need to liberate it from the oppressive regime of the former government. Just as we (Muh Roads) we were liberated back in 1813. You are no longer citizens of South Africa, but of Muh Roads, and I personally welcome you with open arms.

She goes on to shake hands and hug the new citizens of Muh Roads.

If you are truly here to liberate us we thank you and eagerly await your withdrawal. Your invasion has saved is the time and blood of a popular uprising and for that you have our eternal gratitude. We will be able to operate independently hence forth. Thank you for your cooperation.

Seeing that our government has forsaken its essential duty of protecting the value of human life, we opt to revolt. We see the murders committed at the hands of federal troops and the destruction of private property in the African "holdings" and we are aghast.

"We must ask ourselves , how long till the government turns its guns on us for disagreeing with their policies?" Rages one of the revolutionary leaders in central Moskra. "A wrong against our African brothers is a wrong against us! We must rise up the and rid the world of the evil blotch of the Blahbanian state. Death to Vishnevsky! Death to the war! Death to Blahbania!"

* the crowd of civilians charges and sets the state building ablaze before turning their attention to the police approaching in rank. What first appears to be an imminent blood bath turns to a moment of historical moment of joy.

"We too have become disenfranchised with the State," Proclaims the head of the Blahbanian security, "we come to join you in ending the regime of terror lead by Vishnevsky!"

The forces join together as brother and sisters in liberty and begin their march to Vishnevsky's estate.

Blahbania sees what is happening!

"The communists are rising up!" Says President Vishnevsky to his Interior Minister "We must squash this uprising immediately!"

The Interior Minister, Sergei Lavrovna responds "Mr. President, this will lead to civil war."

Vishnevsky responds, "Civil war is inevitable at this point, and there is no sense in stopping the inevitable"

President Vishnevsky flies by Air Force 1 to an undisclosed location, where he commands military operations and gives a nationwide tv address:

" Citizens of the republic, I am sad to say that our great nation is falling apart.

The communists are returning, and the majority of security officers have turned against me.

Dear people, take up arms and destroy the communist treasoners."

He later tells General Tolstoyov, Blahbania's lead general, to:

"Do what must be done, and rid the Marxist/communist treasoner threat from Moskva!"

"Yessir" says General Tolstoyov

Blahbanian soldiers defeated the Marxists and executed their leaders.

Also, the head of Blahbanian security has been replaced and executed for his treasonous acts.

The Communists/Anarchists are mainly isolated to one small area in outer Moskva.

You have a right to secede, however this requires a majority vote, which you do not have. Until then, South Africa is a part of Muh Roads.

I did it, with a surplus! lol

Petacadas President, Daniel J. Hower, and top military officals see the uprising happening in muh roads and have decided to leave Africa completely. First though, to punish the rebels in their own territorys, they gave orders to pillage and burn the major cities currently in Petacadian control. This highly unpopular descision has caused unrest in the Petacada home country. There have been calls for President Hower to step down.

President Thane finds it upsetting to hear this news. Such blatant disregard for human life is not acceptable, especially from an allied nation of Muh Roads. President Thane hereby offers refuge to Petacadian citizens in Muh Roads.

After an emergancy meeting the Senate, which has the sole power to impeach officials, released this statement:

"Mr. Daniel J. Hower is hearby impeached. He and his officials will face seperate trials to answer for their crimes"

I loathe the term 'tax break', because it relies on the assumption that you owe the government something, but you're just getting a little break from being screwed over by the government. "I am favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible." - Milton Friedman.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the tax code will inevitably abused. No matter how low you cut taxes, there's always the possibility of them going up.

Eh, I'd usually use "tax cut" rather than break, but personally I don't see much difference.

If anyone wants to submit an article to The Libery Gazette (for NationStates++ users), just let me know. It can be about anything, from raids to the internal politics of your nation.

If I asked [nation=short]Liberosia[/nation] to come back and observe/comment on the happenings of the region...what would y'all's thoughts be on that?

I'd welcome it. Liberosia will always have a home here no? I just hope that we still have his respect despite the major revamping of the regions constitutional values. We still are clearly committed to the war on communism.

..which also leads me into this, Pevvania has proved thus far to be a great leader. When President Pev is replaced, i can only hope we get someone equal to President Pev's ability.

I don't expect our current Delegate to depart from this region for a while... Pevv seems to be settled in for a bit, and I support nearly all his decisions.

I'd also like to see some more debates and ideological clarification. We "have" a socialist and a fascist Party in this region, but they don't have any members. If not purely for the sake of having some different opinions, let's invite some more State-oriented people into the region. It would be healthy.

If you want to welcome more ideologies, I suggest you remove the anti-fascist and communist tags.

Also if you're interested in debates, I have been part of a lot of them in the Next Generation Alliance. You will also find that region's politics a lot more intense.

Make no mistake, I still view extreme statists as the enemy and it is the essence of this War. But if others would like to reside here, that'd be good.

I really enjoyed the Africa RP. We should do another RP sometime.

Petacada wrote:I really enjoyed the Africa RP. We should do another RP sometime.

You should write an article on the African War. I'll submit it to the newspaper.

I'm not a great leader, I just do great things. But I couldn't get anything done without the support of the people of Libertatem. Speaking of which, Abaretta and Seafield haven't cast their votes yet, but it's pretty much a given that they'll vote yea on the Presidents' Amendment. So I think I'll invoke A2, SI, SSII ("When a matter is deemed a tie, is very close, or is predictable, the founder may use executive authority to resolve the issue in any manner that should be deemed the greatest good of the region.") I realise I'm not the founder, but I have the founder's power due to his discretion, which is also constitutional.

Basically I think I'll use executive authority to wrap up voting and pass TPA into law. Thank you all for your support.

They're part of our heritage and reflect our views on statism. Not everyone in the region has to share these views, but they represent our crusade against totalitarianism.

Come on, guys. Surely it ain't that quiet.

I'll stimulate discussion: was Bill Clinton a good President? I say he was good, but largely a place-holder, and future generations will judge him as one. He gets credit for leading the economy out of recession, but in reality he had very little to do with the 90s boom. He rode on the waves of Reagan's economic expansion in the 80s (which briefly had to endure a market correction in 1990 due to the Fed's interventionism) and the Dot-Com Bubble. To claim that raising taxes aids economic recovery is ridiculous.

Welfare reform was good, but it was largely a Republican endeavour. If there's a single defining achievement of the Clinton Years, please let me know.

Foreign Affairs were brilliant. The Bosnian civil war, break up of the USSR, and the handling of the emerging democracies from former communist states were the best of his intentions. Now we have many allies in places we could not have imagined.

Clinton didn't break up the USSR, again, he rode on the waves of Reagan.

What Humpheria said. Concerning the Bosnian Civil War and the former Communist states, these acts were good, but the only good ones in his Presidency along with the Haiti liberation. Lest we forget, he got several Americans killed in an ill-fated rescue mission in Somalia and ignored the Rwandan Genocide.

No trouble at all. I'm basically guaranteed one due to a little 'loophole' that my dad found. What's keeping us here is work and education reasons. But as soon as I finish college, I'm hauling my ass to 'Murica.

What state are you looking at?

Indiana, of course.

Here in TEXAS!!!!!!!!! :D

My family want to move to Texas, but I personally want to go to California to start an acting career.

Oh come on, no one likes the fly-over states. Not to mention the fact that Indiana is the best state in the Union.

Alright I can see an intra-regional war about to start so let's just say that all states are equal, besides Indiana.

Yeah, that's essentially it.

Want to pack up and get out, but I can't afford to at the moment.

My choice would be Vermont because:

- Amazingly lax gun laws (A HUGE one for me)

- Great scenery (Haven't seen a crappy view here)

- Near Canada (Maple syrup on everything)

- Nice and cold (I can't stand heat)

The only problem with Vermont, is that it houses an infestation of hippies in Burlington. Sure, a few too many liberals for my taste, but in Vermont you're out of yelling distance to your neighbor. I am, although, content with my currently residence in North Carolina; even if our gun laws suck (for a Southern state) and we have a few too many insane extremist Baptists in office.

I like Indiana because: nobody even knows that we exist so we do get all the crazies, car racing, amazingly conservative laws, in the middle of everything, we're not rednecks or yankees, we're just right. And... corn, so why not.

I live in Northern Michigan. Not the UP, the upper part of the mitt. We have big ski hills here for the winter and a ton of lakes for the summer. Its awesome haha

Yes but, cold. Here everyone freaks out with three feet of snow, there everyone is chill with 30 feet.

See, the thing about California is, it's just awful in a political/economic context. A very intrusive and large state government and so forth. However, it's not impossible to start/keep a business here (my father's for example) and the markets/economic diversity is helpful for adaptation to new taxes and regulations.

By febuary the highs will be near 0 degrees haha. But i like it. It gets in the 80/90s in the summer so its a great mix of seasons. My favorite is definitly winter though. There is so much to do:

Skiing

Snowboarding

Snowmobiling

Ice fishing

Backyard football in 5 feet of powdery snow is probably the most fun thing i do all winter

- Amazingly lax gun laws (A HUGE one for me)

The only problem with Vermont, is that it houses an infestation of hippies in Burlington. Sure, a few too many liberals for my taste, but in Vermont you're out of yelling distance to your neighbor. I am, although, content with my currently residence in North Carolina; even if our gun laws suck (for a Southern state) and we have a few too many insane extremist Baptists in office.

Don't forget high taxes in Vermont

Anyway, I'm here in Northeast Texas.
