Region: Libertatem
G'Night.
I, The New United States, would like to publicly endorse [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation] for Board Seat 2.
There is not one individual, to my knowledge, that has contributed more to the prosperity and security of our region. He faithfully served multiple terms as Chairman of the Board, and he continues to fight for the advancement of Libertatem, in Board Seat 2 and as Vice President.
In re-electing Humpheria, we shall show that we protect those who protect us; that we are, indeed, grateful for his undying loyalty; and that we want more of his good work to be done for our great region.
A vote for Humpheria is a vote for the future of this region. Please, Libertatem, consider my words, consider his service.
I will be voting for Humpheria and I sincerely hope that you all do the same.
[nation=short]The New United States[/nation]
Hey y'all, so, some of you may know me (some more than others) and the experience I've had with this region. I can't say I've been especially involved in the RMB or the logistical operations of the region as of late, but that does not change the fact that I have, if not recent, experience. I was here at the formation of the region called Libertatem. Back then I assisted the founder and the Old Guard in the initiation of the War on Communism: an effort to rid the world of the filth that prevents the beauty of our precious liberty. Like the founder and Snabagag (our long time Delegate), I believed in this effort and its place in the constitution of the Region. We decided to form a government based on the principles that we held (and still hold) to be, for all intents and purposes, self-evident moral truths.
In my bid for seat four of this new (I say new because it is, relative to the previous form of government) Board, I pledge a resurgence of anti-communism. Whilst the Reaganist Libertarian Party has been a positive influence in Libertatem, a regional force for good, I feel inclined to wage a crusade on behalf of a not-so-silent minority and an ancient tradition, which is all I have claim to in the operations of this region.
So what I have to offer is this: principle and practice. I am a Strict Constructionist, so I will vote according to the will of the constitution and on the premise of "original intent" of the founder(s). I cannot say I approve of all the changes that have been made. But while radically different, they have ushered in a second wave of prosperity. I hope to fuel that with a dose of conservative, red blood.
In my endeavor, I shall not embark alone. I also endorse for the Board Ronald Reagan And Rick Grimes and of course, my dear friend, the founder of this region we have all come to love, Liberosia.
I'm sure you're all aware of our Founder's accomplishments. And when you measure yourselves (*cough* Humpheria) against him, do remember, that while you used democracy to revive this region, Liberosia used cunning and will in a time when recruitment was much harder and our cause was much smaller. A time of different enemies and of unexpected allies. Mistakes, victories, experimentation. Through it all there were visionaries, myself and the founder included.
I can say that the vision has been achieved, thanks to y'all, but now I'd like to toss my lone star into this new......Republic of Libertatem.
Thanks y'all
I endorse Reagan and I will abstain from chooseing either the founder or humpy.
I will wait to endorce someone for seat one and 4.
Which salute style do you guys prefer American, British, or Roman?
I prefer American with Roman at 2nd place.
Roman.
Nevermind the Nazis.
Thanks for the endorsement LS.
Guys, I get that Humpheria has been a great elected official of the region with a multitude of achievements which you all have witnessed. He is experienced, true. However, no matter how great his experience is, I can assure you, mine is still greater.
I may not have been publicly active in the government and the democracy that has been constructed, but privately, I have observed the operation of the region closely and have conversed with/advised Pev on many administrative issues. Remember the executive is more than just the President and his power is constitutionally at my discretion.
I'd appreciate the vote.
-Liberosia
Dear friends,
It is with great sadness that i must announce my retirement (sort of) from Nationstates. Real world issues have simply become to much to bear at this time along with any form of online gaming. I've already notified the president, and have ensured him i will continue to act as manager of internal affairs until a replacement has been decided on. I'm not leaving completely, you may see me on now and then. But not as often.
I need someone to take over my Fluffy Bunny's account that holds TFI2. It represents a major REATO, TFI2G, and Libertatem victory and I don't want it to CTE.
Lastly, if any of you would like a way to get ahold of me outside of NS please TG me. I will send you information. You've all been great and i've had a wonderful time here. I feel proud that I have accomplished so much in Libertatem.
With love,
Well, I'm up early.
As I've told him in private, it is saddening that Roads is retiring at the peak of his career. He's been a staunch defender of liberty and a voice of reason in government, whose achievements will be remembered for a long time.
It has been a pleasure working with you, Muh. I hope you'll find the time to return to Nationstates with your regular activity levels later.
With out you who will build muh roads?
I am extremely saddened to see Muh Roads leave. He joined the region the same time I did and we have been close friends since. Today is a sad day in Libertatem.
I have no doubt that Liberosia did plenty a long time ago, but this is now. And he may have pressed a button to found this region, but I haven't seen him do a thing but watch for months. I have been here. I am active at least two hours a day. I check NS regularly. I have been responsible for many of this region's legislative advancements. I have been semi-active in the military. I was one of the main fighters in TFI2. I am Libertatem's ambassador to FFS. I love this region and have gone through much for it. Let me continue to help this region.
On the Board Races
Let me know if I've got any of these wrong.
Seat One: [B]Lack there of (LP)[/B] vs. TNUS (RLP) vs. Hallo (OP)
Seat Two: [B]Humpheria (RLP)[/B] vs. Liberosia (ACPL)
Seat Three: [B]Amarican (PP)[/B] vs. Ipian (ILCP)
Seat Four: [B]Miencraft (RLP)[/B] vs. Lone Star (I)
Seat Five: [B]Godisdead (RLP)[/B] vs. RRRG (I)
This'll be an exciting series of elections! The RLP, as usual, endorses all of its incumbents. I admire and respect the Founder very much, who has led this region through some of its greatest (and lowest) periods of history. But [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation] is also a strong leader who has made a name for himself for his organisational skills and legislative successes. His continued presence in the Board is crucial both to the RLP's agenda and to the progress of the region itself. The Party also endorses [nation=short]Miencraft[/nation] for the same reasons, despite my respect for (former) President Lone Star.
[nation=short]The New United States[/nation] is a rising star in regional politics. He has good policy ideas and has made welcome suggestions to our development, so we are happy to endorse him for the Seat 1 candidacy. But at the same time, I will be slightly sad if Lack There Of is defeated - despite his opposition to my foreign policy, he has been an active and committed contributor, and was a truly great Manager of State.
We also endorse [nation=short]Godisdead[/nation] for Seat 5 and [nation=short]The Amarican Empire[/nation] for Seat 3.
Lone Star (ACPL)
Liberosia (I)
Gotcha.
You lucky, lucky people. Thanks to your Glorious Leader, you now have your very own Video of the Day section of the WFE. Does life just keep on getting better in Liberatem or what?
[B]VOTE RLP. WITHOUT US, WHO WOULD BUILD THE WORLD FACTBOOK ENTRY?[/B]
Here's another 'Ron Paul Destroys' video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIx8quNGwhQ
He's completely right; we wouldn't have so many veterans seeking care if we didn't send off so many young men to die all the time.
I think Newt Gingrich has a very impressive record as House Speaker in the 90s, but he's a dishonourable man and an atrocious Presidential candidate.
*singing*Hail to Pevvania and the RLP*singing*
Fun Fact: Humpheria was the first elected Chairman to the modern Board and he drew the original plans to structure the Board into seats, individual seat-based elections, and he has set the precedent for how the Board will function for time to come. He is proud of his work as Chairman and looks forward to sitting on the Board and assisting the next Chairman.
The snails pace of deficit reduction in Western nations really frustrates me. In Australia, Britain and America, current governments have promised balanced budgets in five to ten years, which is ridiculous. The budget needs to be balanced now. There's so much that goes into government spending that simply is not needed. I don't have to mention the amount of pork in the US budget.
I figured out that the UK government could close its £100 billion deficit and even produce a surplus if it privatised government pensions and unemployment programs and cut foreign aid out of the budget entirely. In addition, this would allow the national sales tax - which accounts for £111 billion in revenue - to be eliminated. £14 billion first-year surplus and expanded economic growth? Yay!

The TERM Amendment Amendment cannot be fast-tracked by the Board as Lack has become inactive and it is still lacking the crucial votes needed from some Board members and managers. We'll need to get a quick House majority. So Reps - get voting!
[
Hallo is LOP
I'm worried that Lack will be too inactive.
Hallo (LOP) has my support.
Humpheria (RLP) has my support.
Amarican (PP) has my support.
Miencraft (RLP) has my support.
RRRG (I) has my support.
In terms of individual nations, I believe this would be the most varied, yet effective, Board seen to date, and in terms of a group, it would end the RLP majority without sacrificing the strongest voices.
Hallo (LOP) has my support.
Libey (I) has my support.
Ipian (ILCP) has my support.
Miencraft (RLP) has my support.
RRRG (I) has my support.
Thank you. My question is, if you're one of the people who still buy the RLP Dictatorship thing, why do you support Miencraft?
Thank you.
You as well Mein. Someday maybe, but I'm not leaving entirely. Just will not be very active.
I'll always love you Humpybear
On the Board Races
Seat One: [B]TNUS (RLP)[/B] vs. Lack there of (LP) vs. Hallo (OP)
Seat Two: [B]Humpheria (RLP)[/B] vs. Liberosia (ACPL)
Seat Three: [B]Amarican (PP)[/B] vs. Ipian (ILCP)
Seat Four: [B]Miencraft (RLP)[/B] vs. Lone Star (I)
Seat Five: [B]Godisdead (RLP)[/B] vs. RRRG (I)
My support spectrum:
Seat 1: TNUS
Seat 2: Me
Seat 3: Amarican
Seat 4: Mien
Seat 5: Godisdead
He's a good man, and I think having some RLP can't hurt.

I crie evry tiem.
Yea
That's sad :(
Anyway, I'd be happy to take the Fluffy Bunny TFI2 account.
I would like to officially support all incumbents, with one exception: TNUS for seat one.
Yes, a layout like that would create a 4/5 majority with the RLP. But, you know what? If any of those choices had any other label, I'd still support them just as much, because in the time I've been here and in the time I've worked with my fellow Board members, I've learned that these people have some of the best track records in Libertatem and have some of the best potential in the coming summer. We're met this month with very worthy opponents, but I don't believe that they're what we need to carry on this Morning. Sure, people will see this as just RLP shenanigans like they always will, but in the end, it's less about the label and more where one's heart lies.
These people I've supported have shown true dedication to Libertatem and have helped guide her into this prosperous time. That is why I have chosen them.

I find Santorum creepy...
I hate him. Did you see him get skewered on the libertarian show on Fox 'The Independents'? One of the hosts said to him, "You're a big government social conservative, and that terrifies me."
Am I the only one who chuckled to myself when Santorum said in the video, "Iran tramples on the rights of women and gays," ?
Lol Hypocritical much?
He's Socially Conservative and Fiscally Liberal, And thats just scary.
And he is a total radical.
Yup.
We need to have more discussion and debate. I feel like most of the time I go on these long policy rants, hoping for others to join in on the discussion, but it seems like you all just politely wait for me to finish and then change the subject. Challenge me, you bunch of crypt of Keynesian Marxists!
That's crypto-Keynesian*
Ankha, as you're presumably an anarcho-communist, what would be your approach to current US fiscal policy? Would you expand the government so much that it collapses - as some an-coms have suggested - or would you try to cut it down to nonexistence?
I'll try to get into my socialist form .
Cut it down. In the fact that the average person is their own government, so both. The government is the whole nation,, but it doesnt exist in a sense.
Shouldn't be too hard.
:(
Why do you say that?
It's a joke.
Just making sure nobody here thought I was a Commie.
I never said that.
I didn't say you did.
I'm confused. I was making a joke that you were a communist.
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got
[CHORUS:]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up o I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe i am crazy too
I didn't know it was a joke. But nevermind.
What are your thoughts on welfare and anti-poverty programs? How would aid be provided to the poor in an anarcho-communist world? And how do you go about the dismantling of capitalism - through force or voluntarism?
Lol
Post self-deleted by Ronald Reagan And Rick Grimes.
Isnt that the essence of Communism? That welfare is not necessary?! Everyone works according to their ability nd takes what they need thereby eliminating welfare.
Aid would be provided when the people take their share, they get the money and the food they need.
And I wont impose things on people, never liked to be that guy. I would try and educate people and slowly transition to a better government.
I just wanted to say during my tenure on the board I always voted for what I saw was the best choice for Libertatem, and I will always do that. Let's make the region better. Let's also make the beautiful Reagan Treaty Organization better! I know it's on the agenda for many now and I see a definite need to get more regions involved now, considering we have basically half of the countries in the alliance. We need more regions willing to fight. I will say I have been rather pacifistic for a while but I'm ready to fight now. This right wing rising alliance or whatever is a challenge. We should aim to take them down and reinstate ourselves as an even more dominant NS power! We all have dreams of this. So I say let's elect officials willing to see our dreams become a reality. Something we can all be proud of! So I ask for y'alls votes'. Vote for RRRG, Let's Make Our Dreams A Reality.
I also endorse:
Seat One-Lack There Of
Seat Two-I like them both I can't decide
Seat Three:The Amarican Empire
Seat Four:The Lone Star, a tough choice, as I like Mien a lot too
Scumbag Santorum:
Claims Iran is trampling on rights of women and gays
Is Rick Santorum

So what if I try hording twinkies in a post-scarcity world because I think the end of the world is nigh?
hoarding*
Then first, I would laugh at you, then remind you that hoarding isnt an option.
But Ankha, I neeeeeeeeeeed them!
Also, I am surprised that garbage like this passes through the WA: Corporate Malfeasance Act
Then if your countrymen work well and have been blessed with adequate resources, after redistribution, chances are you can buy lots of twinkies. ;)
And the WA is stupid basically. None of it affects half the people who use it.
No no no, I got confused. I endorse Humpheria for Seat 2. Liberosia is already the founder of the freakin region, he has enough power.
My thoughts exactly. Don't bring an executive nation into the legislature.
My countrymen would hang me for spending all their wealth on worthless Twinkies.
Just a little post to see this beautiful logo on the chat.
You said: "But Ankha, I neeeeeeeeeeed them!"
If you truly do need them to survive, then you can have them. Got you there. ;)
But I don't need them now! I need them after the apocalypse.
ah mister Ankha just who we where looking for.
Shoo! Troll! Shoo! Go back to your bridge!
Can't, my bridge is being resurfaced.
Say, Dred, have you met Fred?
*Gasp*
*presses button* I totally did not mean to do this:
http://goo.gl/AGajss
to your bridge.
Yes and I must say WHAT A HACKER HE IS!!!! HOW DID HE FIGURE OUT OUR PASSWORD TO OUR REGION!!!?
FRED is pretty great..
It was so obvious that I got it on the first try.
Hail fred!
I'm going to bed now. Someone should report that Dred guy.
Why I'm ligitly here for conversation.
Don't report me bro! I am just a parody.
Oh, we love you.... ;)
Since I'm hear I just have to say that.
1. Dred is one person as y'all say
2. I didn't hack Chremania ( I don't know how people even do that kind of stuff.)
3. Sorry for all that I have done I now see that I was being a jerk.
4. I'm leaving nationstates.
OK. Bye now.

Ok!
On second hand, RP wise the Corporate Malfeasance Act won't affect me, since I have no registered corporations! Entities that act like corporations? Sure. But no corporations.
And the GA is for RP.
Perhaps, but it is true that the effects that they put on the bills affect our civil, political, and economic scores, among other things, if verry verry slightly.
True....
