Region: Libertatem
Unfortunately, just because I have a critical perspective of the current administration you end up provoking on my citizenship status. You should be more wary about the legitimacy of the government that is before us. Isn't it also interesting that the posts that defend critical posts are liked by the cabinet members?
Gtfo please

No way did that really happen
No, I'm provoking on your citizenship status because you're coming off as a condescending little sh*t despite the fact that you haven't even been here a week.
Miencraft, Pevvania, The United States Of Patriots, Libiceland
Why? So the current establishment like you can stay in office?
no, lmao

So am I not entitled to a critical opinion? Seems a bit hypocritical when reading over the telegram message I received in recruiting new members...

Dude nobody knows who you are, you're not even a citizen and you're stirring the pot. Not a great way to get your voice heard.

I never said you weren't allowed to have a critical opinion. But maybe you should stop getting salty when the possibility arises that you may be wrong.

[I]Acting President Humpheria
The Libertatem-CoFN Treaty is in the process if being ratified by the Confederacy. We are so proud to see this important partnership moving forward. Once the Senate reconvenes, I sincerely hope that the ratification of this treaty will be one of their top priorities.
Though we had a few hours of tumult here at home today and this lengthy process of investigation and proceedings against the President will unfortunately take a significant amount of time and regional focus, let us not forget that we are still a strong region of friendly nations. Let us not forget to do the people's work in this time, for I believe it is more important now than ever. Scandals and Presidents come and go, but we are proving still that nothing can shake the very foundation of our region -- the People.

This is why regions should have forums at least to check IPs and stop puppets from flooding the voting process.
Or alternatively require WA membership.
Auxorii
You can't have citizenship at the moment. There's a suspension on it for security reasons. As much as I agree with you, you need to calm down and realize that created a mob mentality is bad.
You actually remind of me of myself, and I'm sure others, especially Humph can atest to that. I was arguing and all that against the government, but you need to realize that this region has rules, and we have to follow them. It's for the best.
What is right is right, and I really do believe justice will prevail.
Humpheria, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Libiceland, Pulceria
Quite
Rateria
The thing with being a libertarian region is that the WA is inherently antithetical to libertarian ideology - as is forcing citizens to be a part of a group they might not want to be in any way related to.
It's also a hard ban on having citizens whose main nations are in other regions.
And anything where IPs are potentially visible is... problematic, to say the least, and opens up an avenue of catastrophic abuse at worst.
Rateria, Libiceland
A military that considers invasion as a defense is also antithetical to libertarianism.
Retaliation to aggression is defensive.
Rateria
What do you define as aggression?
Unprovoked attack or violation of the rights of another.
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots
You can't really pinpoint a person's location with just the IP. Almost every serious NS region has a forum.
Could use just for voting if people don't want to use for anything else.
What so you consider a violation of rights?
The problem with knowing the IP is, that's all you need for DDoS. The wrong people get access to that - or even worse, the guys in charge decide to start taking down political opponents - and things get really bad.
Anything infringing upon one's right to:
1) Life
2) Property
3) Self-determination and expression, etc.
Therefore:
1) Assault, murder, etc. are acts of aggression
2) Theft is an act of aggression
3) Coercion is an act of aggression

Can you give an actual example of that happening in the many regions using forums?
The price of inaction is having elections filled with puppets. There is no way you can control them right now.

Resignation of President Hyderbourg
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
President Hyderbourg
Citizens of Libertatem,
Vice President and Speaker of the Senate,
It is with a great sense of sadness that I am announcing that I shall be resigning from the post of President of the Second Republic.
This is not an admission of guilt. Since my election as president I have solely done what the people of Libertatem have wanted, at this point it seems apparent that a section of the population of Libertatem would like to see a halt to my term as President. This will be true until there is a more clear consensus of my innocence and loyalty to the region, I understand this.
I hope that this question regarding my integrity has not overshadowed the success of my administration and my cabinet. Through my presidency the population of Libertatem has grown almost three hundred percent as we went from a slump to among our most prosperous times. We now have more solidified allies and have successfully proceeded through a merger. We have even revitalized our military to a point unprecedented in recent history. We are in a place now where success is inevitable.
I am proud of the work that we have done together as a region throughout my time in office and I trust every citizen here to stand up and continue this trend.
This by no measure indicates the end of my service in Libertatem, solely a temporary hiatus as President until problems are resolved and the trust of the populace is regained. Until then, I will be among you, the citizens, continually working for this improvement.
I am leaving this administration in among the most capable hands possible, my Vice President and Chancellor of State, Humpheria; but in a more tangible sense I leaving my administration in the hands of all of the citizens of Libertatem, I know you will do her justice.
Thank you all,
Hyderbourg
Citizen of the Republic
So hi Y'all, I'm Kal from the CFN and Hyde made this Factbook, he asked someone to C+V it on the RMB so here I am :D
Rateria, Hyderbourg
Would this mean the Speaker is now Vice President and we need to elect a new Speaker?
Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
The line of succession only goes beyond Vice President in case of temporary inability. If the President is incapable, VP serves, but if he's incapable Speaker serves, etc.
When the President steps down, whoever was serving as President, or the guy highest in the line of succession, instantly becomes President and gets a brand new cabinet and everything. If, of course, they want a new cabinet.
Hey! LibIceland here! I would like to transfer my citizenship to this nation
And please endorse me
I would like to get to know you, before I Endorsed you.
Did you mean Region?
And you will probably need to fill out an application for citizenship.
Welcome anyways though.
I meant to get rid of Capitol punishment, not extreme political groups.
My civil rights, and political rights, just fell to average. Darn that!
Rateria
File out and application?
I am LibIceland! You endorsed my old nation
Is there a border control position because if there is I am running

[B]OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
[I]President Humpheria
Hyderbourg is a true and faithful public servant. The unfortunate events that have lead to the recent changes in the administration have left our region severely scarred and divided. It is times like these that try our faith in government. I am here to tell you all that our regional crisis is over. With respect to the former President, Libertatem moves forward.
This is a time for healing and unity. The evidence against Hyderbourg is flawed at best and unfortunate at worst. It is with unity and regional healing that I issue a full and unconditional pardon of any crimes that the President may have committed. He has willfully sacrificed his position as our leader to show respect to his detractors. If nothing else, Hyderbourg's long career in service to the region has earned him a reprieve.
Today we join each other once again as peers and friends. Thank you all for your continued support and faith in this region. We are stronger than any scandal. We are all dedicated to this region and in that we have the knowledge that what unites us is much stronger than what divides us.
In Service,
Humpheria

Islamist antisemite Sadiq Khan says he doesn't care about Trump's tweets, yet has called for the UK to rescind its invitation to Trump. Sad loser!
Miencraft, Auxorii
Econ question: Trump wants to cut taxes, launch an infrastructure buildup, privatise and cut several government agencies and is in the process of deregulating the US economy. So on net, in conventional economic terms he's pushing for a stimulus, or expansionary rather than contractionary fiscal and supply-side policies. My question - and the big question in the markets right now - is will this have as significant of an effect on the US economy as we hope, with unemployment downwards of 4% and growth stable?
I believe the answer is, if we avoid a cyclical recession, yes. The unemployment statistic is wildly misleading since labour force participation, while perking up again, is at a historic low, black and youth employment is at rock bottom, growth is at the lowest level it's been in US history, median and family incomes have barely recovered from the recession (and are still below their levels from 2000) and government dependency is at an all-time high. The Obama Administration failed disastrously at producing the kind of strong recovery we needed from a recession so deep, and American families have paid for it. I believe that Trumponomics, if fully enacted, will be able to move the US economy closer to the edge of its productive potential.
Miencraft, Narland
The privatization of Air Control isn't particularly impressive. Instead of a full privatization, it's a sort of crony privatization overseen by the FFA. At the very least it is a switch from a model from taxation to user-fees, which you could argue is a bit better from a libertarian standpoint, but does not particularly solve the existing problem with overregulation and lack of actual competition.

I look forward to working with the new Senate on very important matters such as ratifying the Sister Region Treaty and accomplishing much more. I'm sure Speaker Pevvania will hit the ground running as soon as the Senate is convened.

Is no throttle easier to get issues
Yeah, it removes the throttle on getting issues.
Pulceria
Almost a guaranteed win for Auxorii. congrats.
Don't forget in the fifth seat election. Vote for Pulceria. a voice of justice, order, safety, and peace. in Libertatems honorable senate.
Sincerely Your Faithful Servant Pulceria
I've been putting it on 12 hours, and I feel so dumb
I think even with "no throttle" there's still a bit of a wait, because you can only get new issues at certain times, but the throttle being on just increases that wait.
Ok, so no throttle is better?
If you want to answer issues quicker; no throttle
If you want to wait some time before new issues appear, use a throttle
Rateria
Oh, ok thanks

Australia's Malcolm Turncoat makes me wish we had Abbott back. He was hopelessly incompetent and backed away from policies at the first sign of resistance, but if he was a bit tougher he would've been able to cut back government significantly. The best PM would still be Leyonhjelm though.

The best way to convince someone else of your point of view is to insult them and call their ideas racist and stupid.
Rateria
Seriously though, while it is fun to crush leftists in debates (which, by the way, I always win, online and in person), we should also try to convince them that liberty is way to go. Most liberals are normal people, so if we can use the common ground we have with 'classic' leftists (non SJWs) on foreign policy, drugs and military spending, we can establish our own credibility and be listened to when we talk about economic policy and the role of government.
