Region: Libertatem
Neat.
Weak attempt. lol oh yea.. time to report.
That raid was a total fail though I think we're good
Zondaland is little more than an annoyance.
At least he could be a little original, put at least some effort into it. "Supercell 1-9"? I mean really?
Well I admire the efficiency of the names if nothing else
I hath refounded two regions in NCSA's absence, United Soviet Socialist Republic and The Soviet Vanguard.
REATO!
Oh, and if you guys have any extra puppets to spare, if you could send one to USSR, that'd be great.
[B]Victory![/B]
A group of marauders, presumably sent by the Communist hordes of North Korea, attempted to unseat a democratically elected government today and inflict vengeance for our tag raid on Communist China.
They shall not pass!
The invasion force was shattered by the might and will of Libertatem! Perhaps we can be thankful of the incompetence of our enemies, or perhaps the strength and determination of the region. Regardless, we are safe once more.
I also apologise for my inactivity in the past 12 hours. I had to do some wiring and other work, so I had no internet access for many hours. It appears that I've returned in the nick of time to stop the invaders in their tracks.
I have refounded The Chinese Soviet republic as a puppet storage and what not
Viva Libertatem!

I'm still a little perplexed at why North Korea continues to label us 'fascists' when we openly work with Communists, and they support a neo-Nazi system of totalitarian control and wildly xenophobic laws emphasising the racial supremacy of the Korean people. That's literally true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cleanest_Race
North Korea isn't Fascist. Totalitarian yes. Fascist no.
As for the Fascism again our actions of FOREIGN AFFAIRS as of late
So are you denying the existence of their extensive racial persecution complex? To do so is similar to Holocaust and Holodomor denial.
And why is our foreign policy fascist? I wasn't aware that we were invading allies.
Im just going to throw this out here again
This.
Any form of government can be racist.
Germany doesn't set the standards for fascism. To compare one leader to all fascism is poor.
Italy didn't attack allies.
Japan didn't
Nationalist Spain didn't
Bulgaria Didn't
Italy did.
They partially aided Germany in its invasion of France.
Japan did.
They attacked USA, and conquered British, and French territories in Asia-Pacific.

Do to the fact that our board is madly against me for some reason, and is deciding to cowtow to the interests of UCR, and also seems to be against the progress of Libertatems power, I sadly have to say that I resign. :(
Victory!

LOL
All of NK's WA's are in NK. I resigned, for I was endorsed before elections.
Paranoid much?
Perhaps you have many enemies? Perhaps through lies and silly accusations you are able to drum up more support for your imperialist ambitions to trash democratic regions.
Good for you Pevina, you have one book written by a racist who declares that the DPRK has something to do with "racial persecution" that is some really outlandish stuff there. Perhaps if I can find a book that says the pyramids were made by aliens that is true too? That is not proof, its right wing garbage and researched from reports from defectors and people who want to tarnish the image of the DPRK.
I dismissed this ridiculous claim last week and provided you with links proving that you disseminate Alex Jones style conspiracies on Nationstates. Here's your "racial persecution" in the DPRK
"Korea
Koreans tend to equate nationality or citizenship with membership in a single, homogeneous ethnic group or "race" (minjok, in Korean). Discrimination and ostracism of biracial children is ubiquitous in Korean society.[citation needed] A common language and culture also are viewed as important elements in Korean identity. Both North Korea and South Korea are among the world's most ethnically homogeneous nations. South Korean schools have been criticised for hiring only white teachers who apply to teach English, because Koreans regard fair skin color as representative of "American" or "English"-ness.
South Korea has only granted refugee status to 60 people in its entire history. In comparison, South Africa has accepted over 35,000 refugees. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Asia

Ok, fair enough. One of your RMB posts suggested that we should be "smashed at the source", but perhaps I was naive to assume that you could mobilise your forces that quickly.
I thought you hated democracy?
Everything we do mirrors everything you do, because let's face it, we're both very ideological people. You don't care if a fascist region democratically elects its Nazi-glorifying leaders, all you care about is the fact that they're fascist. Our war is a reaction against the expansionistic ambitions of The Red Fleet, Antifa and others. You masquerade as some kind of anti-fascist heroes, but in reality you just want to replace one form of totalitarianism with another.
If that man is a racist for calling out North Korea's human rights abuses, then aren't you a racist for hating America?
So it's OK that North Korea is racist because South Korea is as well? The caste system of the DPRK places foreigners very lowly in society. The Japanese are especially discriminated against. No foreigner can seriously get a good job. You even conceded this to me via telegram, basically saying that it's justifiable for the DPRK to segregate itself as they've been trampled on by foreign powers for centuries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_North_Korea#Racial_pride
North Korean propaganda often invokes Koreans as the purest of races, with a mystical bond with the natural beauty of the landscape. White is often invoked for this purity, as in a painting of the "Homeland Liberation War" (or Korean War) which depicts female partisans washing and hanging out white blouses, despite the way it would have made them visible to attack.
In contrast to Stalinist depictions of people steeling themselves, preparing themselves intellectually, and so growing up and becoming fit to create Communism, the usual image in North Korean literature is of a spontaneous virtue that revolts against intellectualism but naturally does what is right.
Stories often have only mildly flawed Korean characters, who are, of course, easily reformed because of their inherently pure nature; this has resulted in problems with lack of conflict and so dullness.
South Korea is often depicted as a place of dangerous racial contamination.
From the centre-left website Slate.com:
A black Cuban diplomat was almost lynched when he tried to show his family the sights of Pyongyang. North Korean women who return pregnant from Chinathe regime's main ally and protectorare forced to submit to abortions. Wall posters and banners depicting all Japanese as barbarians are only equaled by the ways in which Americans are caricatured as hook-nosed monsters. (The illustrations in this book are an education in themselves.) The United States and its partners make up in aid for the huge shortfall in North Korea's food production, but there is not a hint of acknowledgement of this by the authorities, who tell their captive subjects that the bags of grain stenciled with the Stars and Stripes are tribute paid by a frightened America to the Dear Leader.

It is unfortunate that [nation=short]The Neo-Confederate States of America[/nation] has resigned his position. He was an efficient, productive and passionate Manager who led us through countless victories. I wish him good luck in all his future ventures.
I have appointed [nation=short]Republic of Minerva[/nation] to replace him. May we see many more successes in our crusade against totalitarianism.
Haha I guess Pearl Harbor was just nothing then.

Due to recent events and public support, i have decided to return full citizenship status to you.
I am humbly honored to serve. I have learnt from my blunders and now attack in unison with our UCR allies. I shall mobilize our forces to fill in the void left by the slowly diminishing Antifa empire, amongst others, to strike at the double headed snake of statism and fascism. This moment, I believe is most opportune to further the cause of libertarianism throughout nation states, and I hope you all join me in furthering that cause.
TTA, when were you delegate?

He did the right thing, considering the Board voted unanimously to impeach him due to his unprofessional behavior towards foreign diplomats and failure to uphold the ARMA Act. He's a good nation, but more is expected of our government officials.
The recent raid attempt here, and previous unrest, appears to be a result of political tension and uneasy foreign relations. When my laptop gets fixed, I will attempt to use diplomacy to assuage the fears of our allies, and at least pacify everyone else.
This is excellent news. TTA may have come under a lot of scrutiny lately, but is ultimately deserving of citizenship.
I agree
Pearl harbor was an inside job. ;)
The recent raid was most likely the work of TFI 2. Given the similarity of their names, I have no doubt that Zondaland is behind this. However we must not strike out blindly in vengeance, but rather assess the situation in the appropriate manner. We need information, if possible.
No, they're far too small for an attack as large and organised as this one... This was the work of a precise, experienced raiding force.
Note: when I say the similarity of names, I mean their puppets.
I also, if you may Pevv, nominate TNCSA as an unofficial deputy position beside me, as I could use his ability to find nations.
I just check TFI2Gen and I found out that they(TFI2) want to reunify but only if Myself and CI's nations are banned and not allowed in the reunified region because Neutricland is a baby because we speak out against him all the time and he can't allow anyone speaking out against him in his perfect little region. This is outrageous.
I wouldn't put it above some of them to violate WA standards.
Cell 1-9...really?
That's your job. I've been wanting to see a more organised chain of command for a while.
I don't think anyone will seriously accept this, and knowing Neutric he'll likely attempt to secure himself as 'permanent leader' or something.
A password lock has been enacted and will stay on for the next few days to guard against invasion.
Instead of having a password on all the time, if Liberosia is on enough (or you have enough influence to spend) I'd only password protect during the times nobody is on and during updates, yet scrutinize all people coming in through.
Unless this is too inefficient.
I agree with Minerva. The password discourages immigration.
Yeah I have called for a conference-like region to be made where terms can be hashed out regarding reunification.
I will be away for the entire day tomorrow, so I will not be able to tend my Presidential duties.
I will leave it to the Board as to whether the password lock is to remain in place any longer.
Very well. I am for it, but make sure residents can get back in!
Can someone tell me why we haven't banned this troll?
Also Ming, you spelled Pevvania wrong. Also, how many refugees has North Korea taken in?
She hasn't broke any law. Just exercising free speech.
Oh sorry. I'm just not a fan, of having those committed to destroying this region, and it's cause, waltzing on in.
Anyway, Ming still hasn't answered my question, "How many refugees has North Korea taken in?"
This. They banned me for doing the same thing, but we're above that. We respect our enemies.
Lol, don't get me wrong i'm no fan.
I don't think Ming can get in, Blahb...
Yay.
....Wha?
Italy wasn't allied with France after WW2 . Japan wasn't either.
Also. I do feel we kind of betrayed them by not letting them join the Peace Talks after WW1.
Just because they are communist doesn't make them evil.
....It was a conspiracy.
.......I don't even know how to react to this.
Umm. Congratulations Minerva.
Thanks, comrade TTA! Now help me smash more Nazi regions! ^^
Yes :)
.......*Gulp*
Yeah!
I believe I've found a nazi region we can smash.
Whom?
I've sent you the name of the region.
I can join in.
Sure, why not.
I'll help.
Why is it okay to attack a Nazi region, but not ok to attack a state Communist region?
It's perfectly ok. This raid will be to increase morale among the ranks, and to lighten the mood.
My question was directed at "noninterventionist" TTA.
Frankly, Condealism, this is bullshît.
I wholeheartedly reject the suggestion that I've become somehow corrupted by power. I have never - I repeat, never - gone beyond my Constitutional authority, and the mere thought that I would cut into the Board's power for my own political gain is out of the question! My Presidency has seen the largest expansion of Board power in this region's history. I wrote the amendment that stripped me of the power to appoint the Board in the first place! During the first Board Elections, when Hallo Island and The New United States were in a dead tie, many pushed me to make the appointment myself. I refused, reasoning that it was the place of the people to decide their representatives. To this the founder remarked to me "Oh, you and your democracy!" In the aftermath of our Constitutional crisis last year, everyone expected me to send Humpheria "to the chopping block", when I had all the lawful power to do so. But I did not, because I respected the sovereignty of the Board and its Constitutional position: to represent the people of Libertatem.
My policy since then has not changed a bit. I continually weaken Presidential power through a series of Constitutional amendments and nobody bats an eye, but as soon as I invoke a power specifically granted to me by the Constitution everybody loses their minds. This critique is ludicrous.
And what "organised criticism"? I do not know what you mean, but I have continued to enforce the POLICY Act and kept speech rights absolute. One of our greatest enemies even came to the region to debunk my claims. Did I eject her? Did I even suppress her posts? No. Hell, the first ejection of my whole Presidency occurred today!
The road to success is fraught with struggles, and the Beach fiasco was our first and only one. Our "increasingly anti-libertarian" military has embarked on numerous defensive operations, good-willed refounds and protective missions towards our allies. Our military is a growing force of good in a game dominated by statists. Those who seek to hinder our goals are most often frequent raiders.
To those who wish to compromise our values and principles for some vague, poorly-translated nationalism: I will not be broken. To end the War is one thing, but to suppress the will of a people intent on combatting totalitarianism is simply replacing outward force with domestic tyranny. I have a popular mandate, and I have the support of Article 8 of our Constitution. I have served this region passionately for the past 130+ days, and I will continue to do so, loyal to Libertatem's values, traditions and laws.
I apologize for the exercise, Pev, but I would like to inform you that you passed my secret morality test.
To those of you who do not trust Libertatem, read what Pevvania just wrote. These are not the words of a fascist. These are the words of a President that is under constant pressure to do what is easy over what is right, and he resists this temptation at every turn. So read it. To Libertatem's enemies, I defy you to find any insinuation that he is fascistic, oppressive, or evil within those words.

It's not wrong to attack a state communist region. So long as crimes were committed by it against us or an Ally.
It's wrong to attack a falsely accused "State" Communust region. That's what happened with CB. It was called a State SOCIALIST region. The I find I was duped and it was an L-L region.
However I see your point. I would find it hypocritical to attack a fascist region as well.
I won't be participating on stance of putting my 'Anti-Imperialism and Non-Interventionism' before my Anti- Fascism.
The point, TTA, is that Communist Beach should not have been a target in the first place. The top of our military should be responsible for picking targets, but instead it was an ill-researched campaign led by a nation lower in the ranks.
I suppose it isn't all bad; the fact that Minerva was competent enough to pull of a raid, yet possess wisdom and tact at the same time, allowed him to become a Manager who is now truly in charge of our armed forces, and will surely think twice before attacking a fellow libertarian region in the future.
*pull off
Oh. I hadn't noticed.
Passed 5 billion pop some time ago.
Yay me.
The Board approves the password and asks that it be taken down once the President is available once more.
I wouldn't worry about that, but our present security is more likely a more pressing concern. I'm sure Liberosia will take it down when the danger is past.
THE BOARD HATH SPOKEN! *Thunder claps, Humpheria rides away on an eagle*
Humpheria is being all majestic and such n' i'm just sittin' here eating a sammich.
'Tatem.
Blahahaha. I love it. I'm gonna use 'Tatem almost as much as i use 'Murica.
This is beautiful
I am pleased to be delegated to announce the candidacy of Hallo Island for the Fifth Seat of the Board of Libertatem. I have been talking to this patriot for quite some time and I am overjoyed to hear that he is running. He has been graced with one of the rare gifts. He not only has a burning passion for the well-being of this region and it's citizens. But he also has a brain, and does not let his burning heart cloud his judgement. Plus, he is running against his twin brother! Can any of you remember a case of sibling rivalry like this? Brother vs. Brother. Objectivist vs. Reaganist. The race to watch this March. I personally and officially endorse this campaign and urge you all to do the same. Thank you.
[B]Vote Hallo Island for Seat Five of the Board!!![/B]
Is... is anyone gonna run for seat four?
Anyone?
Please.
Also, good luck Hallo.
1. About the part where he is a "Patriot": Don't forget that we are talking about someone who called the founder and two presidents fascists.
2."Doesn't let his burning heart cloud his judgement." I'd like to point out an incident between Hallo, his ex boyfriend and a stapler. He attacked someone with a stapler. Let that sink in.
3. Calling him a Reaganist is a tad outlandish. We are talking about the former leader of the an cap party who flies an anarchist flag. Looks to me like Humpheria just wants an impressionable young lad whom he can mold to his own beliefs to gain more influence in the board.
The Democratic - Republican Party is offering support for The Federation of Hallo Island.
Okay, I just feel the need to protect us from imperialist action.
I change my ideologies with what I feel necessary to keep our region prosperous, as I am very passionate towards things I love. And the thing with my ex, is not relevant, as my personal life is not relevant to these politics.
Tell me about Reagan's foreign policy then, Mr. "I change my ideologies.
This is why I support you. You don't get stuck in one belief. You change based on the situation.
1. What the hell did you do with a stapler?
2. I have enough influence as it is. I don't want a mini-me, history proves they turn against you.
3. A stapler?
Reagan never spewed anti war rhetoric like the Archibald fountain spews water. How are you in RLP?
You don't change your ideologies. You just have no freaking idea what you are talking about.
I recently have been agreeing with more of the RLPs policies for our recent situation.
A stapler. Hmm...
You should change your ideas based on success, failures and current situations.
It doesn't matter.
I choked and stapled him.
He attacked his ex boyfriend with a stapler.
As you can see, his heart never clouds his judgement.
.....You are awesome.
You have no idea how many random scenarios are running through my head. Lol
Because assault makes him so awesome.
Don't pull his personal life into a game.
It isn't to shame him. It is just an excellent showcase of his instabilities and shortcomings.
Although I must agree with this, there are real-world things we can use to judge how well one will serve us.
For example, someone who's committed assault with a stapler is going to have a harder time gathering trust than someone who, say, hasn't done that.
But, yes, we don't need the outside to judge these candidates. We have more than enough information in-game. Let us use that to put people into the Board this month.
Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
