Region: Libertatem

History

So i am in the Smithsonian and there is a poll on a screen and it reads: "most effective president". Somehow obama was third and washington was the most effective. Anyone else see the problem here?

It's the last month of my term and I need active government officials.

Now hiring: Vice President, Manager of State, and Chief of Staff

I could do something if you'd like.

Something, of course, that isn't mutually exclusive with IA.

Chief of Staff, then? It's an informal/unofficial position created to advise the President on matters of public image.

Due to lack of candidates, the RLP has automatically nominated its only contenders:

Muh Roads for President

Right-Winged Nation for Vice President

Also, Board - let's get the Chairman election going.

Thank you Pev, RWN will definitely be my VP. I will be sending telegrams to potential cabinet members shortly.

Speaking of Cabinet members, I still need a VP - with the Board's approval, of course - and would prefer to have someone more active managing our region's foreign affairs.

Hallo Island

Got a radio station? Let me know via telegram to this nation, and I'll add it to the list.

Got a request for additions/changes to Fortside Rock Radio? Telegram my main nation over in the IRU and I'll take it under consideration.

Is it a new trend to just abruptly leave the region while you are in charge ?

Hahaha

I had to replace an Attorney General and need to replace a Vice President, so yes, it's happened before. Still, it could be worse.

There was that time I left to go rebuild the IRU. Sure, it turned out pretty well, but between being one of the last few active people and taking other active people with me, that was very nearly the end of Libertatem. Good thing Pev was around to save the day.

CI, I'd be happy to fill in as VP...

How are you enjoying life in the Commonwealth Humpy?

Muh Roads wrote:How are you enjoying life in the Commonwealth Humpy?

It's great!

I am reforming the conservative libertarian movement there that has been largely splintered and disorganized. I also run a successful law firm over there that is currently in the middle of its first trial.

I'm also not being banished from anything and thats nice.

Northern Prussia has telegrammed me to say that he rescinds his resignations.

Board Term 4, Meeting 1

Hello folks. So begins the fourth Board Term of the year, my fourth Board Term, and probably my last. I haven't got nearly as much done this year as I would've liked - so now's the time to do it.

Here's what I've got on the agenda for this term:

-A comprehensive constitutional reform bill to iron out mistakes found in the Presidents' Amendment, among others, remove inconsistencies and generally simplify it.

-Reform of the citizenship process so that the Board doesn't have to do anymore 'fixes'. I.e., if somebody CTE's, they still get their citizenship back.

-A law affirming support for the War on Communism/Statism/Tyranny.

-A law to address, and hopefully put rest to, the flag debate.

I urge you to vote for me as Chairman, for further progress, constitutionalism, and integrity for the Board.

It just occurred to me that I've had at least two chances to add Muh Roads to my administration, none of which I've taken. *facepalms at his own obliviousness*

I've been reading about American Indian activist, actor, and libertarian Russell Means. This guy makes Ron Paul look like a wussy. He certainly would of attracted a different crowd, although I am uncertain if the radical elements of cultural leftists would be any better than the current array of "libertarian conservatives." Thoughts?

Interesting.

Native Americans represent a sad and unresolved chapter in American history. Unlike the aborigines in Australia and African-Americans, the NAs could never effectively mobilise to stand up for their rights. By the 20th Century, their constituency was too small for any politician to listen to them. In many ways, the plight of the natives has been ignored.

As though my problems with technology weren't bad enough with the NS++ fiasco, now something weird is happening.

Certain webpages that loaded perfectly fine yesterday are either taking forever, coming up incomplete, or failing to load entirely today - even stranger, this issue is happening in every browser I use. Well, at least NationStates isn't affected by whatever is causing this.

Means helped out make a planck in the party stating that all former held Indian territories now controlled by the Fed Gov (like Yellowstone) should go back to the Indians, but privately held land should remain. I definitely think that having the land be owned by the Amerindians would be both more just and more useful economically, since (this is sort of a stereotype but it's true) American Indians know how to sufficiently use the land.

But what's also annoying is that the loudest people who want to help them are crazy green-leftists that propose horrible policies that would probably make things even worse for them. Libertarians should speak out for Native land rights.

That's good. If it was stolen then it should be returned to its rightful owners, whether it's under private control or not. However, it's my understanding that the Natives had different concepts of property and ownership to Western whites. In this instance all labour-mixed land that was claimed and used should be returned.

Odd. Try clearing your cache and getting rid of old/dirty files.

I uninstalled NS++ weeks ago. It's just causing more trouble than good.

Pevvania wrote:Odd. Try clearing your cache and getting rid of old/dirty files.

First thing that crossed my mind, actually. Neither helped.

Pevvania wrote:I uninstalled NS++ weeks ago. It's just causing more trouble than good.

As did I. I miss some of the features it had, though, but whoever's taken the reins of the project obviously has no intention of keeping it up-to-date.

It appears to be affecting images, but only certain kinds - on this site, all of the site elements load as they always have, but I'm missing backgrounds on the Skyrim Nexus site and pretty much every image-based element from Internet forums that run on MyBB.

Fun fact: NS++ works mostly fine with Century.

Chairman Election:

4 votes for Pev

Hallo Island has not yet voted

I have been mulling it over and I believe that leaving the region entirely because I got kicked out of the party about a three month old bad decision.

So, keeping my word from yesterday that Humpherian Diplomat (still the official Commonwealth Ambassador) will not seek citizenship. Humpheria will stay in the Commonwealth because I am moving on up.

But, I refuse to turn my back on the region that I have called my home for so long. So, I'm back. This puppet will be for all of those things. I hope I can get back into the swing of things soon (as an Independent or ACOP, of course). The Hump's back!

Happy early Easter Day, everyone.

Also, does anyone play War Thunder here? I'd like to roll in some Tier 1/2 ground or air forces with anyone. I've got a band of friends that plays every few days. Message me if you're all interested.

Perhaps I will even be more active in the region once my presidency is over in a month.

Breaking news! Our recruitment tool is back online after one month of disuse! We might rise back above 100 nations yet!

Yeah, the RMB posting bug and the recruitment tool are fixed. Still a few issues, I think, but they're working on them now.

So pence signed the revision to the bill, it's a step in the right direction

If we're going to kick our recruitment back into high gear, we need active citizens to (re)install NS++ and volunteer to be a recruitment officer. As always, the tool will send the telegrams automatically, once every three minutes, as long as one of us is on.

Assuming we'll still be using the telegram that I set up, it would make sense if I were to be a recruitment officer.

Hopefully, the settings have not been lost, because I don't have them anymore...

The settings are saved. We've sent about a dozen telegrams since yesterday evening.

Alright then, then just keep me in the system and this should work out fine.

Now to get Roads to save us and get us up to 200 nations.

If all five recruitment officers run NS++, plus me, plus anyone who uses the Liberosia nation, our recruiting measures will be nearly optimal with little effort.

hi this is the president of the united environmentalist states of mhomen

how are you ???

Is the region of libretatam Becoming conservative I haven't noticied, but i've only been here since thanksgiving of 2014.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Libertatem has always leaned conservative - our majority party is named after Ronald Reagan, after all - though over the years we've made great strides towards libertarianism, centrism, and tolerance of other ideologies.

that is great.

Tolerance is key to sucessful relationships with different nations.

A skill not all nations have perfected.
