Ah. I thought A COP was winning those seats.

Not anymore - RWN, TNUS, and Neo are running for Seats 3, 4, and 5, and each one is in the RLP.

Very cool and very well put together video.

Next election:

Seat 2, CI (ACOP) vs. Amarican (CHUM).

Will begin once this one ends.

Thanks to those who casted a vote in my name, I will not deceive you.

Well, I knew it sounded weird.

Anywhatsit, once all this Board stuff dies down I think I'm finally going to get around to closing embassies with dead regions that I had Lack list for me.

So if you see massive piles of embassy closures, that'll be why.

Last time I did that for Iwaku everyone thought we got raided..

I did play a prank on them once.. http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv160/LordGodXentra/TBRIwaku.jpg

Though that could technically count as a real raid since I am a Black Rider..

Yup, just decide it's occupied and bam.

Occupied by the Riders.

Technically.

I feel bad for who ever raids Iwaku when I CTE.. so many embassies and tags to remove.. I bet MingMing would love to take over Iwaku..

...

Did Amarican just vote against himself?

Alright, you do that. Sure. Whatever.

Elections eh? Elections for what?

North Korea-Chan wrote:Elections eh? Elections for what?

I dunno, man, maybe for the Board or something.

And just thought I should mention that your vote technically doesn't count since I'm about 99.99% certain you're not actually a citizen/diplomat with citizenship benefits.

I just vote because I like voting on things. I figured it would not count though.. Noone lets North Korea play with them..

North Korea-Chan wrote:I just vote because I like voting on things. I figured it would not count though.. Noone lets North Korea play with them..

Y'know, you probably could get citizenship as a diplomat from Iwaku.

You'd just have to go see Muh about it.

Muh? what sorta name is that?

North Korea-Chan wrote:Muh? what sorta name is that?

It's what we call Muh Roads, but admittedly Roads is much better.

4. What nation under your control, if any, currently holds WA status?<-- oh that would be a hard one..I don't have a permanent WA nation.. WA status is random..

North Korea-Chan wrote:4. What nation under your control, if any, currently holds WA status?<-- oh that would be a hard one..I don't have a permanent WA nation.. WA status is random..

There have been nations accepted that have fluctuating WA nations.

In fact, when I applied, I was still in the raiding game and as a result had a WA that would bounce around from time to time.

CI also has a bouncing WA, I believe.

You can of course just answer none, but I think the best answer would be whichever has WA at the moment (and also obviously your main nation to make research easier, even if it doesn't have WA), and then just point out that it does change.

okie! and I might consider joining the forum. But for now I'd better trip my garden up before the sun goes down.. be back later!

North Korea-Chan wrote:okie! and I might consider joining the forum. But for now I'd better trip my garden up before the sun goes down.. be back later!

Oh, right, I forgot we have a forum...

Speaking of the forum I didn't know we had, today is apparently Humpy's 1st anniversary on NS.

Whoops.

And gardening is done for the day.. *resumes waiting for a tiny helpless nation to move closer*

Next debate topic:

The African nation of Angola has outlawed Islam:

Well, I mean, seeing as how it's technically illegal to do so here...

And the way I see it, it's immoral to forbid someone to practice any religion or none at all. But that's just me, apparently the Founders thought similarly and made it so that we can't do that here.

Yeah, because people can only do good things in this game if they've been here for exorbitant amounts of time, right?

It's not like a bloody month is a long time in the context of this game or anything, right?

Seriously, dude... You've got to learn a little tact, especially if you want to go into electoral politics. It doesn't serve any purpose to alienate the population.

Perhaps I should write a speech summarizing the results of this month's Board term before November begins, huh?

Sure.

Put it into the newspaper, too. We need more stuff going on there.

Anyone have a topic to debate? i'm itching for a friendly argument with intelligent people.

Renegalis wrote:Anyone have a topic to debate? i'm itching for a friendly argument with intelligent people.

I had a good one the other day, but I forgot to bring it up because we were already arguing.

Solution: Get TTA to say something.

And obviously because I forgot to bring it up I then forgot it entirely.

The negative income tax ?

I prefer a flat income tax of 10% thank you very much!

I'd go for no income tax. i'm from New Hampshire.

That Commie crap doesn't fly here haha.

What's our regional zombie plan? We going cure, military, or giving in right off?

The Amarican Empire wrote:I prefer a flat income tax of 10% thank you very much!

Taxation is theft

Muh Roads wrote:Taxation is theft

I agree but we need some revenue to fund a small government. I would lower corporate taxes to 5-10% also. Plus you have the debt to pay off.

Muh Roads wrote:Taxation is theft

True very true

I see the negative income tax as a way of helping the poorest without any huge bureaucracy, and a security in case of a market's deficiency.

And I would suppress the corporate tax, which is a double taxation of the shareholders.

I'm still looking for my way between strict minarchism and Friedmanism.

The Amarican Empire wrote:I agree but we need some revenue to fund a small government. I would lower corporate taxes to 5-10% also. Plus you have the debt to pay off.

Doesn't mean there aren't other places to get that revenue from; places that could potentially be more lucrative than taxation.

What else could we get the money from besides taxation? Do you think people will donate voluntarily?

The Amarican Empire wrote:What else could we get the money from besides taxation? Do you think people will donate voluntarily?

Exports, for one.

Taxation on export. Or maybe a fee from government ports? The particular product is sold by business.

How about this. The government is granted money by the people each year and an intelligence agency is installed by us to make sure they keep to it.

The money is dictated by what people want to put it into. Each person is asked and you can choose not to contribute.

That would make it so everyone who wants a say gets a say and our more Anarchist elements could keep whatever they want.

The Amarican Empire wrote:Taxation on export. Or maybe a fee from government ports? The particular product is sold by business.

What the hell would you tax your exports for?

And how would you even tax exports...

In that society the socialists could even live under there system with us if they chose

Miencraft wrote:And how would you even tax exports...

You would demand a portion of the money that busineses make from exports. The only way the government would make money from exports without taxation would be Nationalizing all industries that export a good.

But businesses don't handle international exports. They don't even get to determine how they ship goods to other states. They might put their name on the stuff, but in the end international exports (which is what "export" refers to) are already the business of the feds. Exported goods revenue generally already goes to the feds. We just need to export more stuff and import only the things that we can't make here and are absolutely necessary. So, y'know, basically nothing.

Whilst we pump money into R&D. to once again become the industrial superpower and dominate all markets.
