Region: Libertatem
Bahahaha
Well, the thing is the people don't really control the radio.
Also, Pev brought up a good point, something should be done about recruiting.
You should go recruit, then.
I will, and others should be doing it as well.
Yup.
I should really get around to buying some telegram stamps...
I tried recruiting The Matriarchy of Milteria
We have kinda of taken a hit to the population.
Ehh, yeah, we have, but at the same time, most of the hit has been purging inactives and puppets.
I do miss my "#1 in Libertatem" badges though.
We should bring those back.
Should we all just create one recruitment telegram and just use it over and over again?
We do have one, somewhere.
We should bring inactives and puppets back?
The Libertatem is #1 button.
Where?
The regional #1 badges?
Those just need a population above 100.
If I knew, I would have linked it to you...
''...the media wants to take it and spin it, and turn it into fear, because then you're watching television, you're watching the news, you're being pumped full of fear, there's floods, there's AIDS, there's murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate, if you have bad breath they're not going to talk to you, if you have pimples, the girl's not going to f*ck you, and it's just this campaign of fear, and consumption, and that's what I think it's all based on, the whole idea of 'keep everyone afraid, and they'll consume.''
-Marilyn Manson
Which is why we need to get the population up and bring it back.
"You know how one percent of the population is actually impacted by [insert epidemic here] and 99 percent isn't? Well, you're part of that one percent." ~Every television program ever
I think we're already agreed on that point.
Ah, now I have to actually type stuff to people
Telegram stamps
ez
We have those?
They're a thing you can buy for cashmoneydollars in the store.
Don't ask me where the link to the store is, it's hidden somewhere.
I'll find it.
Found it.

Hmm, spending cash okay.
Capitalist swine!
5 nations that did best during Bytecoin were Self-Proclaimed Commies.
Coldplay is fantastic. I would really like to know why you think they suck.
I think they were using state-capitalist techniques like how China hoards gold and silver.
Not Commieism
Man, I gotta go steal a computer or something.
I can't even run Oblivion on the lowest graphics settings without it lagging all over the place.
I know that feel more than you will ever know.
I recently entered some pages in NSWiki back from my roleplaying days. I'd like to get some proofreading (I haven't done so myself yet) if one of you would like to go over them. The second one is the shorter of the two, and it's also completed. The first one is not yet finished, but some constructive criticism would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but they sound like every 2000's alternative band ever just softer and with more whining.
Boop: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=304475
A) you won't say that to Chris Martin's face
B) Well that's a bold claim. Sure all bands in one category sound the same because they play the same genre of music... so I'm not sure why that makes them bad. You could claim Aerosmith sounds like Guns n Roses because they both play Hard Rock. That doesn't lessen the greatness of either band. Just like how many claim Coldplay sounds like Radiohead, who are both alternative bands of the same era.
C) That's just Coldplay's lyrical style. Even most Coldplay fans admit that their lyrics are a little wussyish, it doesn't matter. Everything sounds great together and their lyrics do actually have a lot of meaning. That would be why they have sold 80+ million albums. And how you could not like "The Scientist," "Clocks," "Paradise," or at the very least "Viva La Vida," is beyond me. Those tunes are fantastic.
And by the way man, thanks for the invite
Not sure if joking or...
Why can't we all love each other and be a big happy family.
Is the answer Global Warming?
If this was Twitter, this would be a total subtweet. Explain thyself
Not a subtweet, just always fighting n stuff. Why can't we all just be true to each other and love unconditionally.
Hippie! Burn it!
Global Warming?
I'm burning sumthin.
I kid, of course. I only do drugs on Mondays. Oh wait. I'll be back in a minute.
Pill popping on Mondays
Hello?
Anyone online?
Nope.
Hopefully my proposal can be put up to a vote. We need to change the Bee Gees, too much Bee Gees man!
I am.
Good, we need to talk.
Now is the time to question which one of you is going to get ejected. Kidding. Maybe.
...
You're safe TTA.
Phew.
so Rick Perry sent them Nat. Guard to border.
Woohoo *waves American flag*
What's Bama gonna do? Next Time on Drama on the Border.
He's going to say that the National Guard are being racist and present a shameful image of the US.
I want Texas to Secede frankly.
Maybe it would start a precedence and Indiana can become a perforated union.
So, how many others read Jennifer Government, one of the silliest, most intellectually mind-numbing books ever written?
You're lucky to live there, you know. It's a rare beacon of freedom in the Mid-West. Also the least regulated state in the country.
*does Fonzy hand motion* Ehhhhh
I would prefer if all Republican states formed a new Union of states.
That'd be pretty great.
I want all the states to leave the Union and simply form an Alliance.
It's true....Just the opposite direction from 1984.
....Rephrase that it's somewhat true but a God Awful Representation of what would really happen.
SHhh! Max Barry watches....
Well it's true. It's all about companies murdering people directly and companies killing Presidents with no power over them.

Go Russia
Palestine Stinks
Israel Stinks
Egypt has no Government remember Kerry?
Malaysia isn't trustworthy with airlines
Go Perry. Down with Ted and Glenn.
Except for the constant wars, homoscepticism, government spying, punitive justice system and victimless crimes. But it'd still be better than a Liberal States of America.
Meh. He is a bad writer who seems to know nothing about libertarianism or its intellectual roots.
There are many factions in the gop. Neo cons, tea party, moderates, and Libertarians. The Neo cons don't hold as much power in the gop as they did under Bush jr.
Next month or perhaps even before that, I am going to propose a constitutional amendment simplifying the impeachment process. I will hold an open conference on the issue with political allies and opponents and the father of the Constitution, Liberosia. I'd like it to balance people power with constitutionalism so that the President can't just be impeached because people don't like him.
Wouldn't that be great tho? we could get rid of Obama just because we don't like him.
True. Lib-cons are quickly gaining ground in the party as Rand Paul has become the frontrunner and conservatives are beginning to reject corporate welfare, endless war and the War on Drugs. Seeing typical Republicans like John Boehner and Kevin McCarthy vow to kill the Export-Import Bank is very exciting indeed.
In rl of course.
A) I most certainly will.
B) Coldplay sounds ten times blander than Radiohead. There are bands with the same members that are less derivative of each other than 00's alternative. Led Zeppelin and The Yardbirds. The Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral milk hotel. Green day and The Foxboro Hot tubs. The list is endless. Not to mention that Coldplay never had any groundbreaking albums. They had no Nevermind or Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club.
C) Any song that is in key will sound great together. It really isn't a challenge. Chris Martin's lyricism is all recycled, anyways.
Well, you all might be able to control what comes on.
The more I think about a populist radio the more I dislike the idea. Look how much strife a single band has caused in the last several hours, not to mention that this certainly isn't the first debate about bands or genres in general.
It isn't that bad, it's just a disagreement. We aren't trying to kill each other yet.
And furthermore, I find it a bit frivolous to even have regional discussions on the radio. It is changed frequently enough and it's not like anyone is being forced to listen to it. If you feel strongly enough about a selection just TG the president and make a request.
There are times where it is stuck on one song for multiple days, and it is an interesting idea that people could control it rather than our government controlling it.
Should I be elected, I will ensure that it is changed regularly with requests. Happy? No need to mobilize the government.
Starting the campaign early?
Preventing the definition of frivolous legislation from occurring.
In all fairness though, how much more legislation can be passed on voting and immigration? It was an attempt to try something else.
So when does Humpy after dark start?
It was a noble effort. But, legally, the radio is not an official government institution, so there would be no legal precedence for restricting (or streamlining) via official regional legislation.
After....... wait for it........ dark.
Yes, I have been waiting for this.
So this should be Humpy's theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohFZjmr5RfU
I haven't been active in a while. But what opinion do y'all have about this:
