Region: Libertatem

History

PATRIOT is done, so we allow almost everyone now.

Happy 102nd birthday to Ronald Reagan.

An amazing President, and a great man.

Reagan...what a warrior. I'll always think of him kindly.

RE: PATRIOT; it was authored by you, Liberosia, and that implies something. I'm not saying it's bad but on the contrary. Just pointing out an interesting fact.

Is there anyway to lower my population here on NS?

I don't think you can lower it at all.

No you can't lower it.

Why would you want to lower it?

Well I think in realistic terms, think of China for example they have almost 2 billion people in that communist nation. They say you cannot have more than 1 child, they have 2 billion people polluting the earth ( and no I'm not a fan of the EPA nor do I believe in Global Warming but they need regulation to protect workers and the surroundings ) and they cannot sustain that many people. I would hate to lead a nation with tons of people that I cannot take care of and sustain.

It's just the game's way of telling you how long you've been on NationStates.

It is my distinct honor to have the fourth-worst public healthcare in the region, and the three nations below me are very deserving of their positions. *bows*

Here here, cheers to you and Snabagag.

*downs yet another glass of...sparkling grape juice...*

The Department of Internal Affairs has been discontinued.

Inactivity happened. I guess I have only myself to trust to look after the region's internal affairs...well, myself and the other government officials.

Anyway, my population is 666 million 0_o

I miss having less than a billion people.

Almost to having no income tax. Yay!

My income tax is 1%, come on president Trump get rid of it!

I'm proud of having had no such unethical and immoral practice as salary expropriation.

I am in the same exact position as ISA. We must end it altogether!

Hows it going guys?

I'm okay. Anyone else?

Great, but I'll get better. ;)

Tax is theft.

Whats been going on?

As far as our nations, or personal life? Lol, I can't tell.

Naw just asking on general lol

Taxation is not theft if it is used to fund the legitimate duties of gov't.

RedBadge - Ah, okay. Life's going awesome. :)

Liberosia - Hmm, perhaps. I guess I'll have to think about that more. Either way, it doesn't make sense for the government to be taking a percentage of the money we earn.

You talking about over tax if there isn't a deficit?

Okay, there are three things government must do to esure a solid capitalist society: 1) protect property rights with a court system, 2) enforce property rights with a police force, and 3) defend the nation with a military. To execute these duties, government must use taxation. Liberally, the feds would should only have to take about 6% of the GDP in taxes for these duties, that's down more than 10% than how it is in America.

I call for a vote on the IMPERIAL Act. Everyone, please telegram and post (optional) your vote on the RMB, whether it be yea or nay. I'll start the voting with a yea.

1-0

Heck yea. The influence of Libertatem (latin for freedom) must be spread.

By the way Liberosia don't close the voting off on your own convienece like last time.

It doesn't matter when he closes the vote because the number of votes for will most certainly far outweigh the votes against at every potential stage of the voting process.

Don't get so full of it theres always a chance, and its also about fairness so everyone can vote in a known time.

Here's the deal, I'm not going to do that again because people will just repeal it, so I'll give it plenty of time.

ISA, I'm not seeing why you're opposed to this idea. The empire is really nothing more than a voluntary confederacy with us as the half leaders and with another elected leader who I have named, "Supreme Allied Commander".

I have more than enough explained my opposition and I will not repeat myself again on your behalf of being unable to listen and understand.

8-2. It looks like the bill will pass. How does 24 hours sound, ISA?

Post by Mittens Romney suppressed by Liberosia.

Mittens Romney

Mittens all over that poop

Your spam comment shall be suppressed. Do not force banjection.

Might as well go ahead with the banjection, in the interest of internal affairs. This guy has a history of leaving spam all over capitalist regions.

I'll give him another chance. Perhaps he will say something coherent.

I'm entertained by his shenanigans. Perhaps we should let him be.

Snabagag, why are you against IMPERIAL?

I don't belive the founding of an empire is of any importance at all to Libertatem. I believe it will be only useless trouble, while its objectives may be pursued by a different means.

Wow. We're up to 82 nations, and I haven't even been recruiting.

I would like to welcome United States Of Southern California and Ricot, whom I recruited myself. Welcome!

Good going, Snabagag. Welcome, new citizens of Libertatem.

Excellent, Snabagag. Your patriotism is appreciated.

I vote yea on the IMPERIAL Act.

Excellent!

Voting is now 9-2.

It is currently 6:36 in California right now. From now, the IMPERIAL Act voting will end in 24 hours.

So after my civil rights take a hit and go down a bit, I get ranked in the top 5% in the world for best civil rights.

I don't want to know what the rest of the world is up to.

Oh, and welcome to Libertatem, [nation=short]Yellandrebel[/nation]

I actually do it on conservative regions

We're a mixture of moderates, conservatives, and libertarians.

It looks like IMPERIAL will pass, after I gave the 24 hour warning. It will be official in approximately 50 minutes.

I look forward to the creation of the Empire, and the expansion of freedom and the fight against communism.

I just want to say I'm dissapointed in all of you who voted yes on this bill. Please don't ask me why either because my opposition and principles were obvious.

Yes, but now that it has passed, would you like to represent us in Empire Congress?

I wont sell out my principles for more power and a nice title.

Technically you wouldn't have much of a title. You just seem like a good choice because you were against it.

Liberosia I swear you must know my weakness, I can't believe this but I'll consider it expect an answer before monday at 4:00pm eastern time.

Ah, but ISA, I expect others will want the position as well. I will definately consider you, though, for the reasons I mentioned above.

Reason you only said since I was against it I would be good, though my record as Manager of State would help so I'll just announce my run for the Empire Congress now.

I endorse ISA for that position. He would be good in that position.

That definitely works in his favor.

I endorse ISA in that position.

I endorse ISA in that position. His desire for fairness in the law and opposition of a strong central government are an example to us all.

...You better believe I'm most armed in the region! *raises hands triumphantly*

I just want to thank you all for your support although it would be more fun if a brave soul would run against me.

That's how suited you are for the position - no one could hope to rival you in your position.

I'd actually run against you, but I'm going to be the representative for the Atlantic Docks once it's in, so I have no reason to.

^^ Correction, am the representative for the Atlantic Docks.

We're awaiting more regions for the Empire. Anyone who wants to spread the word can, but if you are going to, please include links to our region, the Libertatem Empire, our constitution, and the IMPERIAL Act.

The Founder of Libertatem, Liberosia, hereby declares Independent States Of America to be our esteemed representative in Empire Congress. ISA, please send a puppet to The Libertatem Empire.

I wont be able to send one til monday when I have access to a desktop.

I need assistance from anyone willing to help to expand the Empire. Recently, I published (for the Empire) something called the "Annexation Proclamation". This allows us to come into a region (if there be no founder or WA Delegate), and inscribe on their factbook "Possession of The Libertatem Empire". We then add them to our population. If and when they get a WA Delegate, they can simply resign from the Empire or apply for full representation. Who wants to help me expand the Empire?!

I hereby declare, with utmost happiness, that I have taken over ISA's duties as Attorney General. It is a true honor to me to serve in such a position and I will do it with all my heart.

Indeed, Delegate Snabagag, we know you will.

This is a big day for me, my population count has passed 2 billion!

Excellent Snabagag!
