Now that that is settled I think it would be a good time to say this. Tomorrow I will release a statement in regrades to the presidential election. Except the statement to be released around noon.

Thank you and Hail Dred.

And so I ask, if anyone can suggest a decent region for me to relocate to.

And to all you Libertatemites I warn you, your government has gone sour. It upholds evil raids and is willing to execute them behind your backs! that is why I'm leaving. I suggest you do the same.

The government isn't needed to provide any of those things.

Remember that arms manufacture and sale is a private enterprise, not some centralized government thing.

Welfare can be done just as well by the private sector, if not even better.

I'm glad you made that argument. Because people often just wan't one and not the other, and it totally ruins their logic.

The States Of Balloon wrote:Ah, so you support privatizing arms and welfare. What about education?

Obviously, yes, education should be fully privatized as well.

Miencraft wrote:Obviously, yes, education should be fully privatized as well.

Well, at least you're consistent.

Remember that time Pokémon introduced a new game mechanic and then got rid of it in the next gen for no reason? Mega evolutions? No, I'm talking about the season mechanic from gen 5.

The States Of Balloon wrote:Well, at least you're consistent.

I fail to see why you'd think someone would go "well we don't need the government for X, Y, and Z things that people always think we need them for; by the way we need government for W".

Also, side note, but it's kind of impossible to "support privatizing arms" since arms manufacture is already private-sector.

But seriously, almost everything the government does - aside from those two very specific things I mentioned earlier - can be done just as well, or even better, in the hands of the private sector.

Government has no incentive to provide a good product at a reasonable price. Government has no incentive to avoid going into debt. Government has no incentive to actually act in the people's interests.

Private industry does. If your product is terrible and too expensive, you're going out of business. Spend too much, you're going out of business. Screw people over, you're going out of business. If you're a business, you need to make sure people like the product you're giving them at the price you're charging. If they don't like it, they'll go somewhere else - they'll use someone else's product or services. You don't get to do that with a government. Government says you have to use government services, you don't have a choice to go to some other company if you don't like how the government handles things.

You don't get to stop paying taxes because you don't like how the government runs things. With a business, you get to stop paying them money whenever you want if you don't like what they're giving you for that money. Governments will send guys with guns to steal your money if you don't give them any. Businesses will go somewhere else to try to get other people to buy from them if you don't.

Citizens of Libertatem! It is with great pleasure that I your beloved Dred am announcing my candidacy for president. I will as president eradicate all meme, squirrels, happiness, and life on earth in general.

Now looking at my poll number me and my campaign team have this to say. Starting at this moment I will no longer be running for president and will throw my support behind Pev! He is committed to bringing the region into a new age of prosperity. He has committed to rebuilding the military so we can better protect ourselves and our allies from the threats facing us. A Pev administration I believe will bring the region into the spotlight once again!

Folks, as a Senator, I have worked hard to ensure that our region maintains it's greatness. I worked with my fellow Senators to make sure that Treason Class C was no longer a crime so that nation deletion for any reason would not become a crime. I worked with Chancellor Hyderbourg to turn his Mentor Program into a private organization.

Enough about me, though. What I want to do for this region is allow for more creation of other private organizations. Speaker Pevvania wants to cut Government employees to 5%, and I completely agree with this. For too long bureaucracy has plagued this region, and we are going to cut it down. We are a Libertarian region, and we must act like one.

In the time I have spent in the Senate, I have supported legislation that has actively reduced the size of government and voted against legislation that would increase it like the TEACH Act. I ensured that the Liberty Amendment would be passed to provide for greater freedoms and fixing of the Libertatem Law Code. As a Senator this upcoming term, I will work hard to amend vague and ambiguous laws and reform the justice system. I beg for your vote this election to make Libertatem a safer place to reside!

I'll admit that the justice system is not my field of expertise, and would work with the Senate to introduce positive changes if and when they're necessary. And while it's far from a priority right now, I would try to make it easier to banject spies and foreign agents.

I discussed in length with Senator [nation=short]venomringo[/nation] about what justice truly means.

Although we did not come to any conclusions, we were sure that the current system wasn't working.

When I am president I will work with the senate to find a truly nonpartisan and fair way to determine the outcome of criminal trials, although other candidates say juries and extended justices are "unnecessary", I say we have to do anything we can to ensure justice, even if it's the most inconvenient option.

Justice should not yield to inconvenience, it should be held higher than all other factors.

I announce that I am joining the Reform Party! The Reform Party isn't just a party - it's a movement with a message of reforming ambiguous areas of our government like the judicial branch and our laws. With that, I am leaving the ACA to move on to a party with a greater vision and ideas that will resonate for many elections to come.

Office of the Sitting Chairman of the Reformation Party

Chancellor of State Hyderbourg

I am incredibly honored to announce that the Reformation Party's nominee for the 4th Senatorial Seat is [nation=short]Sidon and Bosanova[/nation], the Libertatem nation of the President of the CoFN.

President Vista has had years of experience in Nation States and has proven to be a dedicated public servant to the people that he represents.

I recently had the honor of working with him when negotiating the Sister Region Treaty and he has been incredibly helpful, it was very apparent that his goal was to progress the people of both of our regions.

I know as a senator in this region he will strive to do the same, he will strive to represent the people of Libertatem and go out of his way to help everyone around him.

This is the first candidate that we are having from our sister region and his participation in this race is in itself a testament to the relationship we share.

God bless Libertatem and God bless the Confederacy of Free Nations.

Reminder to the Reform Party that someone needs to TG this nation with its platform so it can get added to the factbook.

Libiceland

So I've got some stuff to say! Yay!

As for reforming the justice system, I would love to see a jury system. I tried to implement one back in the first republic but it didn't work out so well, but it's high time we try again. I don't think we need more judges, though.

And to address concerns of partisanship in the court, I say this: my involvement in politics and support for certain candidates and positions comes second to seeking justice. As I am myself unable to run for any other office as the Justice, my party serves as a banner for others to use if they want - the party has no sort of leadership at all and acts merely as a label. Sure, I'm its chair, but the chairmanship of the Compact doesn't actually have any real meaning to it.

I don't bother myself with taking sides when cases are in the process of being brought forward; indeed, I advocated that people wait for a trial and see what evidence comes forward before condemning Hyderbourg; I authored an amendment that allows any citizen to use their own representation in court, rather than having to be represented by one of the appointed lawyers (one of which is a Justice department appointment that doesn't need any Senate confirmation); I also worked to rewrite the new FRAUD act to make it fairer and to reduce the ability of the government to use it for evil, and I authored revisions to the Law Code that removed crimes that would have put nonsensical limitations on free speech, and also removed the crime of Treason C, which was redundant and couldn't be reasonably enforced by our courts. My primary interest is fairness and justice, not partisan nonsense that accomplishes nothing and gets us nowhere.

Chancellor, the goal of 200 nations is the minimum goal for my first term. In my first presidential run I pledged to get the population up from 5 to 80; we ended up hitting 130 instead. I have shown repeatedly that when I set a goal and make a promise for the region, we pull together and make it happen. The same goes for my military buildup - 50% is the goal, but by no means is it the limit.

And I don't see where the 110 nations figure comes from. We bottomed out at 40 nations but if I recall correctly that was before you were inaugurated, no? Weren't we in our 70s when you took office?

Perhaps, but if there was a healthy influx while these nations were CTE'ing we wouldn't have seen a forty nation drop.

Plus we can't disregard the fact that nations are in fact leaving Libertatem for other regions, Bad Libertopia is a perfect example.

He was in our region for over a year and left.

My past presidency alone is enough to run on, but everyone here can agree that I've been working extremely hard as Speaker of the Senate to reform our region, hear the voice of everyone and protect our libertarian ideals. I have helped create a Senate based on rules and respect. I have overseen the passage of five constitutional amendments, three of which I authored. I have voted against every unnecessary expansion of government, such as the TEACH Act, and helped get rid of Treason Class C, which made Libertatem citizens beholden to the game moderators.

And, most importantly, when many of us jumped to assassinate Hyderbourg's character when he was accused of puppeteering, I stood up for him in the Senate and said no to impeachment, demanding an investigation before that could even be considered. The matter was investigated, it became obvious that he was innocent and Hyderbourg was never charged with a crime.

So my record clearly shows I'm a strong advocate for reform, I have unshakeable convictions and I will not throw anyone under the bus for political gain. As a result, I was elected unanimously on two separate occasions to the office of Speaker of the House.

I have great character and am the absolute best person equipped to handle the job of launching the defense buildup and economic expansion that will propel Libertatem into the future.

Hey everyone! Just wanted you all to know that I am starting a private law firm and I will be taking applications from people interested in a position. Currently, I would like to employ 2 or 3 experienced lawyers, but anyone is welcome. Also, just to be clear, you don't have to hire exclusively from me as a lawyer, I just want to train some nations on how to defend someone effectively in court.

That's a great idea! I'm loving the word private lol

Good luck!

From the Discord General chat -

Hey guys, Pev here. I've DM'd a few of you individually but I wanted the whole region to hear this.

We're all friends here and we're all part of the same region. Most of us share very similar beliefs and views and all want what's best for the region. Lately, however, the politicking and campaigning has been getting very aggressive, to the point where it's causing personal toll and aggravation to people for no good reason. There's a very fine line between constructive critiques and personal attacks, and lately it's been much of the latter. We're not a naturally partisan region by any means and have always governed based on unity and consensus.

So I'm just asking you all to cool off for a while.

The presidential election isn't until August, all the candidates have announced so we've got a long way to go.

If we could get back to the business of having fun, having intelligent discussions and legislating on issues we all agree on, it'd be best for all of us.

So yeah, that's all. I hope we can all just cool it a little bit, chill out and have a good time like we're used to.

Thanks.

Technically it's a statute under color of law (it is unlawful) as it prohibits the basic human right to freedom of association (and its logical converse--the right to be let be). It alleges that the jurisdiction of the United States (2rd Legal Definition)--supersedes all established boundaries. A point of order as an enumerated grievance (Declaration of Independence) for which it is Lawful under our system of government to resist with lethal force when necessary). It declares that it may infringe with impunity on the the legal jurisdictions and rightful borders of foreign states (nations) of the world as an undisputed claimant to the ownership of the labor of any natural born person merely for having been born within the United States (3rd Legal Definition in direct violation of Constitution of the United States) even though they are now without (outside) the boundaries of their jurisdiction. I would like to see this despotic abuse of power challenged and destroyed within my lifetime.

United States: 1. The several united States in Constitutional compact with each other. (It excludes DC, Territories, Trusts and foreign held properties.

United States: 2. The seat of the Federal Government--i.e., the State of the United States, the District of Columbia. (It including Trusts and foreign held properties, e.i. NOT the 50 States.)

Unites States: 3. All territories, trusts, lands, and properties owned or administered by a State of the United States or delegated to the State of the United States (the Federal Government) to be administered as the corporate entity "United States."

To say that our Founders goofed by allowing distinct entities with exclusive functions to share the same name is to put the confounded and confused clusterbacle that is the Deep State in constant defiance to our Federalist system of Lawful order mildly. It should have never called the legal authority of what would become the Washington DC, the United States. It happened mainly because Congress had to wait for Washington DC to be founded and built thus had no better terminology. It did not do enough to keep the differences between our several United States in authority over Washington DC; Washington DC as an agent of the United States, and the corporate Untied States clearly defined with unique names for their administrations required by Federalist doctrine.

...ramble ramble rant ramble... :)

I hope that this can indicate the beginning of cooperation between the CoFN and the Revolution Party as we work together to find the best outcome for all involved.

For the future, we shall prevail

[B]ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SPEAKER[/B]

Friends and colleagues, putting aside presidential politics for the next few weeks, I want to work with everyone to unite the region. I have looked at the Reform Party's positions and there is much that I agree with. The RLP agrees to work on implementing two out of their three major policies: judicial reform and military policy. I will not discuss the latter publicly, for obvious reasons, but on judicial reform there are several common sense stances we can agree on to ensure justice and equal treatment under the law.

Therefore, when the Senate convenes tonight, I will be putting the JURIES Act on the floor. This bill prevents the Regional Justice from holding any other major position concurrently, and most crucially of all establishes a jury system in criminal trials to ensure fair treatment for all who are accused of a crime. I am flexible in terms of the number of jurors, but I think five is a good number for the size of our region. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=pevvania/detail=factbook/id=847131

Secondly, on behalf of the RLP, I want to invite party chairman [nation=short]Hyderbourg[/nation] and Senate leader [nation=short]VenomRingo[/nation] to a grand coalition in the Senate with the RLP and ACA so that we may all serve the region under the banner of the Free Libertatem Coalition. We agree on many of the same issues, and using our combined strengths to work towards the goals we all care about would be a boon to the region and to regions everywhere.
