Yes, a private marriage contract would be fine, but laws would have to be changed for that to be accepted. Like I said, as long as there is some sort of framework for how the laws will changed, I would be fine with it.

Hello, people of Libertatem! Varrick of the CFN here to announce that I am running for Secretary-General of the WA! Vote for me if you want change, hope, and cash!

No, Vote for [nation=shortnoflag]Penguania and Antarctica[/nation]. If we vote as a united group, we can get our men into office.

Hello fellow Liberty lovers. I ask for your votes today for General-Secretary. I am the candidate that supports liberty and opposes communism. Lets preserve Liberty! Lets preserve NS! Libertara for General Secretary!

I voted for Railana. Eh...idk if they were the best choice, but they're a decent choice, unless I run myself.

I'm trying to vote for Libertara, but each time I try to expand the candidate screen, it reloads it as it was.

SAFETY, DIVERSITY, PROSPERITY

To the leaders of Nationstates,

I will be brief, as I know you all have your own nations/populations to attend to.

First of all, are you really a leader? Do you seek to lead your country forward into a golden age, or do you hide behind a wall of corruption and lies?

If you truly are a proper leader, take a seat at the table. Take part in my administration.

My administration recognizes that all of you are leaders first. Leaders of sovereign nations, respected in their own right. We will work to EMPOWER you, not hinder you.

SAFETY

My administration CONDEMNS AND SEEKS TO PREVENT ALL/ANY FORM OF RAIDING. We seek to create a safe environment for nations to prosper.

DIVERSITY

My administration shall encourage all cultures and all races. EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO DEBATE. CHANGE IS AND SHALL ALWAYS BE POSSIBLE

PROSPERITY

It is through the ideals I have highlighted above that my administration will bring about prosperity.

NO ONE SHALL BE LEFT BEHIND

My good friends and leaders, I thank you for your time, and I hope you make the right choice in the coming elections.

NewTexas is a fine choice. Not Railana. Anyone who's proposed that many WA freedom-killing bills doesn't deserve my vote.

Minerva (sorry, my quoting button won't work).

Yeah they aren't necessarily communists, but they are 10x as annoying. They pretend their damage is only temporary, but it is entirely dependent on a founder to repair the damage.

I take back that statement, but what I meant to say was it takes time to repair regions, and it drives down morale.

Teuberland wrote:I take back that statement, but what I meant to say was it takes time to repair regions, and it drives down morale.

We are raiders (or used to be at least) that also destroyed regions. I personally destroyed a couple regions. It's kind of hypocritical, to be against raiders, when you used to be one.

Republic Of Minerva Except I never was one myself, and from what I recall when I joined this region I was hopeful (personally) that this whole anti-communism theme could be put down in favor of a Libertarian theme. It's one thing if it's a warzone, but it's annoying to have your own hang out trashed.

Hah. Supporting TBH. Interesting.

The New United States, New Jaslandia

If we wanted to really be consistent, we'd support NewTexas. His campaign is being run under the anti-WA banner.

Also:

We ought to, as a region, throw our support behind [nation=short]NewTexas[/nation], rather than TBH. While TBH would certainly be better than the commies, we should be endorsing the candidate that has the most pro-Liberty and pro-sovereignty agenda and views.

I would recommend that somebody with the power to do so change our regional banner to be an endorsement of NewTexas, instead of TBH.

I agreed most with Austin Petersen, though Gary Johnson was probably a pretty close second. I didn't really get a good feel for McAfee, to be honest.

Don't particularly like Petersen's strategy for confronting the Islamic State - seemed inadequate. Preferred Johnson's calling for a congressional declaration of war.

Really didn't like the fact that Johnson thinks that the government can rightfully coerce a business into serving somebody, against that business' will.

I like that Petersen is pro-life, as well.

[B]Official Statement by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Central Pacific Empire[/B]

Dear All,

I write to you on behalf of the Prime Minister of the CPE, The Dominion of Aanon Bay, who sends his warm regards.

As you know, the CPE and the FFS are currently the only members of the Interregional Cooperation Treaty (ICT), this an interregional defensive treaty mandating all signatories to assist one another during an attack. Whilst we hope our allies would do this anyway, we can never be too sure, therefore it is good to have this in written form. Both regions have agreed to open this treaty up to a select group of mutual regions.

We therefore invite you to an important meeting at which we will present the treaty to you and you will decide whether or not you wish to sign it

This meeting will occur from Wednesday 13th to Friday 15th April 2016 in the [region]CENTRAL PACIFIC EMPIRE[/region]

While I'm here, I'd also like to take the chance to invite as many of you as possible to participate in the CPE's Festival of Dangerous Ideas. This is happening as we speak and will be happening until Sunday 10th April, so feel free to drop in to Central Pacific Empire at any point in the next 8 days. This festival is basically where as many people as possible from all over the NSWorld are encouraged to come and share their controversial and potentially 'dangerous' ideas and views followed by a time of debate. This event has got off to a fantastic start, with a number of nations coming out in force to challenge the Prime Minister 'dangerous' idea regarding abortion, turning it into a fiery and extremely gripping debate! Don't miss out!

Many thanks and best wishes,

The Federal Republic of Conta

Minister for Foreign Affairs

Well,there is a "slippery slope" argument. Like, cake is one thing, but what about if a hospital denied surgery to a certain group?

Teuberland wrote:Parvimperia, the public at large would have such a conniption that the hospital would have no choice.

How quickly would it happen,though?

Parvimperia wrote:How quickly would it happen,though?

Likely immediately. Turning back a patient for philosophy, religion, skin color, orientation, etc., has foreseeable consequences. When Shkreli jacked up HIV pills from his company by 500 (or was it 5000)%, he went from entrepreneur to international pariah so severely that people weren't sad to see him arrested on an unrelated charge shortly after. If I'm not mistaken, another company began producing the same (non-copyrighted) pills for a cheaper price soon after, though it could have been a hoax. Regardless, no one would want to buy from him again.

If the patient suffered injury or death because of a refusal, the outrage would prevent future incidents. I suppose I may be McAffeeing here, but in a world where social media reigns, any action like that would get immediate attention.

"Hereby REPEALS GA#1: "The World Assembly""

A coalition of a few hundred news organizations colluded to break this story, and the best we get is a CNN story on questionable Putin finances. That's it. No mention of American allies off-shore funds, or anyone really, apart from America's personal hitlist.
