Uh I'll go for seat 5. Against the dull spoon.
Good luck to you.
Moderately decent luck to you.
Is Northern Prussia even still alive?

No, just skill.
DON'T WE HAVE A MANAGER OF STATE FOR THIS?
I support an embassy with gay.
Speaking of gay; what do you think SCOTUS will do on the gay marriage issue?
I think that the court will leave it to the states but I hope that they will decide that gay marriage is protected by the Constitution and legalize gay marriage across America.
I don't know, SCOTUS has been pretty liberal lately.
I hope that you are right hallo.

Oh oh which one am I?
I'm glad you've brought up Gay, [nation=short]Hallo Island[/nation]. I've been trying to court them for several months now, and their founder and I are on very friendly terms. But they have connections to some socialist regions, and as far as I know (a few months back when I sent a puppet over) they do not want to risk embassy closures from them. Nevertheless, we enjoy warm, if unofficial, diplomatic relations.
Hallo on Gay, that's entirely up to the Board. So, if you want one, bring it to a vote.
Well, first and foremost the President, but yeah the Board could also vote on it.

Sovereignty is Independence from outside powers./the right to run your own nation.
Authority is power approved by the people.
Law is rules made by Government or a society.

United Environmentalist States Of Mhomen
Ah, you're correct, actually. My bad. But it also says "The President/Founder may create, approve, disapprove, abolish, etc. embassies with any region."
I interpret this as the President having power to tinker with embassies, but can be limited by the Board, who can also tinker with embassies.

What are your opinions on Rockeffeler's monopoly?
Do you think there was something shady that got him his competitive edge or did he compete fairly?
I personally think he fairly competed by using tactics others hadn't thought of yet and that it is a very good example on how some natural monopolies can be good as Standard Oil had very low prices and served the customers well.
It was only the companies and the anti-trust government that wanted him out, not the people.

Hallo Island, United Environmentalist States Of Mhomen
I need to look into it more closely. I've heard two arguments: that he prospered as a result of political connections, and that he competed fairly and drove down the price of oil. I think the latter is true.

Citizens, If I am elected to the Board we will finally break the Single Party system. We will at last have more representation for the entire region and not just the Majority. I however will not Fight for lost battles. I will work with my fellow board members on the stuff that we do agree on and not on what we don't. Let's get something done. We are libertatem non a single party state.
I recognize the majority. I will not fight previously lost battles. I will fight for a region that is fair and a region that represents everyone. Thank you and may Reagan bless Libertatem.

United Environmentalist States Of Mhomen
Yeah, I nuked the bejesus out of them.
Miencraft, United Environmentalist States Of Mhomen
I don't understand what your platform is. The entire region is already being represented; as it would happen, the region tends to prefer the RLP.
This has been the same exact thing every time this has come up, and yet again I will say this. You can't change the fact that the RLP is the majority. You can't change the fact that most people prefer the RLP. The entire region is already being represented, and the majority of citizens chose to be a part of the RLP (fact: the vast majority of applications I process have either "RLP" or "None" for the party). You want to get your party more power? That's nice. Develop a real platform and spread it around. Representation isn't a real platform in a region where everyone is already being represented and made the conscious choice to join the RLP.
I do give you credit, though, for not trying to violently overthrow the RLP. You get a Denaria for effort (also, I move to make the Denaria the regional currency).
Hallo Island, United Environmentalist States Of Mhomen
Hey, I'm offensive and I find this comment to be a reclusive hermit.
Or, the other way around. I'm not sure.
Yes,The Majority are RLP. But the whole region is not RLP. There needs to be representation for the majority. The fact is that in our current system the same majority can elect every single candidate. Which means that this Majority is the only thing that is represented. A Tyranny of the Majority if you will. My platform is Republicanism,People power,and fairness. A Republic gives representation to the little guys along with the big guys.
We had a referendum and it was argued that the people don't have the right to make decisions on their own. The people hold the true power in the region. If the people were not here then what would this region be? A Government? What can a government do if there is no one to govern? Is it fair that the minority get no voice? I repeat that the RLP is the majority and in turn should be the majority of seat holders in the board. That does not mean the whole board.
All available people online that want to raid telegram me.

"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way and the one true way, it doesn't exist."

Dude, give it up. Grow up. The RLP is in power.
Hong Kong Protesters, give Democracy up. Grow up,The Chinese Communist Party is in power.
Just to state. Activity is not based on how many posts are made, but the input created. So being I have served honorably to this great region not just as a boardman, but as the Vice President. I have voted to uphold the laws of the region, collaborated with the Board to bring about nesescary change to the workings of our government. Now Mr. Hallo, since you accuse myself of inactivity, because I refuse to engage in your simpleton arguments, I will give my piece of political change. I will push a bill through the Board by the end of the 15th of May to streamline the abbasadors to our embassies.
Pevvania
There are a hundred things wrong with this. THE RLP IS DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED, STOP CRYING BECAUSE YOUR PITIFUL PARTY ISN'T WINNING ANYTHING. Also, you just called a bunch of Libertarians and Republicans Maoists.
Miencraft
Vote for Northern Prussia, and we will add another vote to a more powerful Libertatem military.
Liberosia, The New United States
But you aren't in touch with the community. You just deal with issues and vote in the board meetings, and that's it. I want to elect someone who talks to people. Who interacts with the citizens.
Mr. Hallo, I can see your distatse for my manner of office, but what you seek is represented through the House of Representatives, of which you are an esteemed member. As a Boarmen, we are to vote for the interest of the region and what is best.
Liberosia
You wouldn't know the interest of the region, you are never around to hear what the people think is right.
The United Libertarian American Republic
Yes the RLP is elected. The same majority that chooses every seat of government. Think how terrible it would be of the same voters in California elected every member of The U.S Congress. Its not Crying its debating and protesting. I did not call the RLP Maoists. I was comparing what you said to what Chinese citizens would say to the Protesters. There are many differences between the RLP and the CCP.
No one should give up in the fight against the establishment. Should we accept Rinos and the Elitists in the US establishment? Should we quit fighting for the Minority in our system?
You should give up fighting the establishment when the establishment isn't hurting anyone. You aren't being oppressed because nobody here agrees with you. You are the minority.
Miencraft
I agree, every government official is loyal first to the people. The Government has to talk and interact with the people they represent.
I am abstaining from this election, I dislike both candidates.
Once again your vague statement of my presence is outlandish. I am on nation states everyday for at least an hour. I read the RMB and vote according to what's best in the regions interest. Also contrary what is best for the region is contestingly different from what the nation's want. Mr. Hallo, have you finished with this debate of my presence, the entire board, and the cabinet can, and will rebuff your accusations on my activity.
Liberosia
Hypocritical much? For someone who was trying to bring down the Libertatem government just last week, this isn't the kind of behavior I was expecting.
A description of Libertatem minority parties is shockingly similar to what one would picture the proverbial peanut gallery manifesting as.
Hallo Island
I support Amar in this race, but I would like to point out that NP is right - he is indeed active, and I can attest to that.
Northern Prussia participates in every Board vote. I'd hardly call him inactive.
So, basically, you have no platform.
Hallo Island
Alright, small children. Listen up. It's story time.
Those of you that are crying tyranny of majority, the RLP is the majority party because there are only three active members that aren't in it. Simple arithmetic will tell you that this is why the majority lies with this party. Now, you may ask why? How can one political party hold so much power? How can I get that power? Because we know that is the intent here, it was never about some silly war or speaking for the people. Every man craves power, it makes the world go round.
So, I've outlined some things that we do that you don't that have lent to our success.
1. Activity
We have at least one member on at all times and we make a large percentage of the engaged population.
2. Ability
We have a seasoned pool of candidates that are all the best at their specific job. Mien innovated and practically owns the deed to the IA office. Pev has been the undisputed military mastermind for over a year. TNUS is a diplomat, he did it before he CTE'd and he'll do it for a long time. I literally created the VP office. Muh is a strong leader and a humble voice for the people, not against them. Your party is only people that have returned to the region and are extremely vocal.
3. Strategy
We have a plan for where we are going. We are not opportunistically pouncing on every office that we can get. The reason we are always two steps ahead of you is because we've planned three steps. This is just a simple political truth. You have to plan for where you're going before you get there.
4. Organization
We are organized. We have a structure. This is probably the biggest reason we are where we are. We have come out on top because we built a ladder to get us here. We didn't just scratch around the base when the LP was the majority. We planned, organized, and came out on top.
RLP: Stop attacking the minority. You're going to hurt their feelings and their going to leave. Every action needs an opposite reaction to survive. Peter Pan needed Captain Hook. Voldemort needed Harry Potter. It will get rather boring without a minority.
On a final note, minority, if you get anything from this at all, get the answer to this question. Why has there been an LSP, GPDP, FP, ACP, PP, ICP, CP, NLP, FP, SFP, LOP, DRP, RP, and MPA that have all played off of each other, but only one RLP?

You're basically telling us that we are just a bunch of whiners with no talents or skills. If you want to gain the respect/sympathy of your opponents you'll have to show them a little more than your usual habit to despise and disrespect anybody who disagree with you.

The truth hurts and if you want to get better, you have to admit what you're doing wrong. If you don't want to follow my advice, don't. I'll continue help the RLP get stronger. [sarcasm]The things I told you obviously never worked for us.[/s]

My fellow Libertatemites,
This is the last full day I have left to speak to you all as your President - it brings me a melancholy, but proud feeling to know that this is the last time I will address this region as its chief elected official. You elected me to this office so that we could lay down our arms, and for a time, we have achieved this goal together. Under my administration, we have experienced an age of calm, tranquility, and peace.
The time for peace is over.
The past four months have been filled with controversy on a backdrop of a tense ceasefire. The simplicity of unashamed warfare was displaced by idealism - by my grand vision of seeing a world where people of different political views and walks of life could appreciate one another and cooperate for the benefit of all. I am often blinded by this idealism, and it is so easy for me to forget that there are those who would use their armies and fleets to crush this dream for the vices of imperialistic conquest and ideological purity. Perhaps we can one day see a world where we can all live in peace, but that world will not exist until we defeat the totalitarian aggressors for good!
The Black Riders have fallen - in the absence of this organization of non-ideological raiders, groups of authoritarian invaders will rise to take their place. Our attempt to disarm The Western Empire has been met with the full military might of the fascists, and they will surely seek retribution. In addition, The Red Fleet has rebuffed our attempts at diplomacy with the libertarian left by way of subterfuge and sabotage. I predict that an era of political warfare has begun, and I will not permit us to lose the conflict to come - we must rise to the occasion, in spite of the inactivity and prejudice that has plagued us, and again endeavor to roll back the destruction the totalitarians have caused.
I am confident that President-Elect Muh Roads can lead our region and usher in prosperity as we set aside the olive branch and reject the white flag. I encourage him, and our next Board, to amend Article VIII so that it may grant our region's government the Constitutional authority to wage war against all of our enemies, and to seek out militarily-strong allies to join us in our noble fight.
In the next few days, I will retire this puppet, withdraw it from our region, and place it in the graveyard so that it might cease to exist. Never fear - you know where to find me. I must dedicate all available resources into building the International Republican Union up to prepare for future battles against the statist menace, so that our combined might may be enough to complete operations like IS and CAPS before them.
Finally - if Pevvania will allow it - I would like to pledge my support for the RLP in my final days here. Unlike me, the Reaganist Libertarian Party has been uncompromising in their opposition to tyranny and foreign aggression - the majority of this region feels that this party represents them well, and I hereby announce that I concur with their sentiment.
We aren't just the authors of the War on Communism. We aren't just a region with a firm dedication to liberty. We are more than those two things - we are Libertatem!
Thank you, and God bless.
