To the bitcoin gulag with you. 20 years!
I already made that joke
Good morning, I am the government
You suck
Armranackvlononistan
I love vacation. Anyone have big plans for New Years?
Watching Sean's inauguration
It's tied.
Then better for it to stay that way
One vote for Sean is invalid.
So is one for Pev
I think the reason the vote is tied right now is because both candidates have very similar platforms
Well nevermind.
12-14 now, one invalid on Pev's side, and one on Sean's side.

Pev has Liberosia on Facebook and asked him to vote for him. He posted a screenshot of their conversation in Messenger on Discord. I dont know that making accusations and trying to smear your opponent when its clear that youre going to win is the best strategy. Ive heard from a few people that they didnt like how dirty this race got. And I agree with them, I think both campaigns did too much mudslinging.
I would hope that our next President would enter office as a positive and unifying figure and I hope thats what you do from here on as you become a leader.
Pevvania
y'all mind if i uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jinx the mf election
You're in the lead as of now. Don't do anything to mess it up. . .

Man- youre going to win. What do you want to happen? Either Pev refuses to release the name of our founder or he gives this guys name out to everyone that wants it.
You told me earlier tonight you are ready to move on from the past and look forward to what we are going to do as a region. I hope you meant it.
And on that note, good night everyone! Dont let the commies bite!

Friends, supporters, and citizens,
Thank you. It's been a tumultuous journey, but we did it together. From a decisive lead to a one vote disadvantage to a sweeping victory - we did it. For the first time, in a long time, a non-establishment candidate has won the Presidency for Libertatem and I cannot feel more honored to be the one who did it with your help, of course. I would like to thank President Pevvania for putting up one hell of a fight for he is a true fighter and, forever, a great friend and opponent. The future is bright for us and I am thankful to be the one to lead us to new heights and adventures that was only obtainable with your help. I will not let you down, Libertatem.
-Sean

A huge thank you to all of our supporters this election! The next four months will be some of the greatest in Libertatem history!

Anyone who claims to be me, KICK THEM. They are Houthi spies trying to influence the election. These people who joined all of a sudden CANNOT CHANGE THE ELECTION, as they aren't citizens
Sfr Yugoslav
We can't go around kicking anyone we want.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Yes we can, because they aren't citizens
Acelandinisia
Sfr Yugoslav
We have a process in Libertatem. We can't just kick them all we want immediately, even if not citizens. And the odds of them becoming citizens is quite low considering their actions right now. If it is in fact a threat Libertatem will deal with it.
Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Sfr Yugoslav
See, the thing is, as it stands whatever drama is going on in your home region isn't our business.
On top of that, they're not citizens, so it doesn't matter if they're trying to influence the election here. Legally, they're just random people who came to vote without having it counted. If there were actually someone making fake citizens trying to shift the polls, that'd be a crime, but right now there's nothing actionable.
Only if they're a threat to regional security. For right now I don't really see any particular threat here. I just see one guy who has some enemies that are launching some pathetic attempt to get back at him.
Rateria
If someone is impersonating you, tell the mods. They can deal with it.

Final count is 10 for Pevvania, 17 for Venomringo. The new President will take office on January 1.
Rateria, Venomringo, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
we did it boys
Rateria, Venomringo, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Honestly though someone impersonating you is the worst thing, and sometimes it isn't obvious enough for the moderators to take action. Someone is trying to join our region and become an active member of our community, and he's being harassed. It's our duty to do try and help him
That is the thing, what can we do that doesn't require arbitrary measures?
Miencraft, Rateria, Acelandinisia
Congratulations President-elect Venomringo and The Aradites.

History factbook has been updated and the Reform Crisis section is now complete. Some information on Supting is still needed, and more detailed information on everything before then is needed as well, but for now there's some coverage of everything leading up to the present day, barring some things after the entry into NURight.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Highway Eight
Thank you!
Rateria, Venomringo, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Highway Eight
Funny hearing you speak of responsibility, considering your "non-citizens should be enslaved" policy.
Miencraft, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Highway Eight
Is the Discord down?
Yep
Great
Lol it's not quite like that. It's just that Iceland has a lot of lazy immigrants that just hang on the streets and harass people and such, so why not force them to work on a farm somewhere and do something good? Otherwise they can just gtfo of the country
Serfdom isn't libertarian. Slavery is evil. If you wanted the immigrants to work, then your nation should cut down on immigration and repeal welfare laws. If the state didn't enslave these people in its own way to the indolent lifestyle of the welfare dime, they'd have to search for job opportunities. The destabilization of society caused by mass influx of immigrants can be cut down by limiting the flow. Assimilation needs time and generations to work.
That being said, Iceland is a broken wreck of a country which I doubt even has the capacity to create job opportunities for an excess of people.
Also, you still advocate a weird dictatorship, which isn't libertarian in any sense.
That being said
Miencraft, Rateria, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Highway Eight
Well you are right about the welfare thing but even if there wasn't welfare we'd probably still have a few foreigners without a job here, and even if they are not a burden if we don't have welfare they're still not contributing in any way, which is exactly what we want foreigners to be doing. Plus by "enslaving" them (I don't really like that term) we are at least giving them a shelter and food and clothes, so it's also the compassionate thing to do.
Also, Iceland is not perfect but it's not doing that badly, and I don't advocate a dictatorship in any way, shape or form, so I really don't know what you're talking about. Did Highway Eight tell you that I was a "clerical fascist"?
wat
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Well yeah. They would get a roof over their head and clothes and such, so it's the compassionate thing to do
What universe do you have to live in where forced labor is compassionate?
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Lol you make it sound like I'm a monster. Forced labor doesn't mean a 16 hour workday and guards with whips to make sure you don't stop working
fekkin shoite
What do you think of this? "...This was true because while the black in the South worked in the fresh air, the wage slave worked in stuffy factories that were littered with diseases. Also, the black slaves in the south had a secure home and food from their masters, while the wage slaves did not have these "privileges."

[U]MOVING FORWARD
Dear people of Libertatem,
It's been a tumultuous 48 hours and I'd like to both officially concede to the president-elect and clear up some of the confusion we've had, in the interest of transparency and for the good of the region.
I regret that in the final stretch of the race, the election devolved into a mudslinging contest. I bare as much blame for this as Sean, and for that I am sorry. I tried to keep it civil but in our desperation to win we lowered ourselves to do things only politics can compel you to do. I did indeed offer Goldi Chief of Staff in return for her vote, a cheap and desperate ploy to change the direction of the race.
Regrettably, I also declassified the following screenshots (https://i.imgur.com/FsnKMhB.png
https://i.imgur.com/bixjsmL.png) and sent them to LibIceland, Rateria and Dred. My intention was to expose the reasons for Venom's dismissal as Chancellor of War and counteract the claim that he wasn't given sufficient authority as Chancellor. This was clearly the wrong thing to do, as it helped poison the well of a campaign that had largely been clean up until the election itself, and I hope as a region we can quickly reconcile the differences of the campaign and unite to propel our republic to further success.
Regarding Liberosia, as I told both the president-elect and Justice Miencraft, the endorsement from the Founder is legitimate. He asked me to use his account to vote for me out of convenience, but I withdrew the vote and asked him to do it personally. This can all be corroborated with screenshot evidence and if necessary I can have the founder come on Discord and personally vouch for himself, as he did in the last election cycle. I am disappointed that this non-issue was used to undermine the legitimacy of my reelection campaign, but we should dwell no further on it - it's time to move forward as a region.
If anything, the result of the rumors spread about the Pev/Tampa campaign gives me great confidence and hope in the people of this region - that they recoil at the mere insinuation of corruption, and are a fundamentally good, decent and moral people. Allegations turned the electorate in the opposite direction, which has renewed my pride in our citizens and gives me optimism for the future.
Finally, I'd like to congratulate President-Elect VenomRingo on a hard fought campaign. The people have spoken and I will respect their wishes. He is, like me, a fighter, and that fills me with the hope that he will fight for you and for the future of Libertatem. I am immensely proud of what we've accomplished over the past four months and the past four years, the former of which I will detail in my farewell address, and I love Libertatem just as much today as I always have. We have a long history of cordial and peaceful transitions and I look forward to making the transfer of power as smooth as possible. It has been an honour and truly a pleasure to serve this region for so long. I have said it before, and will say it again: our best days are ahead of us.
God bless the Republic of Libertatem.

I told everyone here you were a theocratic reactionary without being told anything. I actually find you quite anti-clerical, since I was told you hate the Church and worship Wotan and the Aesir.
Using the institution of the state to organize workforces from unpaid labor is nothing less than slavery and dictatorship.
It's state-controlled collective farms. In this regard, you remind me of Stalin.
In any case, I find that if someone were told to find work or starve, they'd either find work or resort to criminality. Oftentimes, the latter choice might be made.
The second part of the problem therefore comes up. There need to be enough job opportunities, preferably menial ones.
If America brought its industry back from China (which uses de facto slave labor in many instances) and cut down on immigration, the job opportunities would reappear. Capitalism would make the country productive again.
Iceland, however, is a small, cold, bitter patch of land that I don't see has much opportunity for production, except of the agricultural kind, and almost no opportunity for industrialization. What's more, it's a small land for a small population. Massive influx of immigrants is not conducive to maintaining a small population. It would suit these immigrants best therefore to emigrate somewhere else.
I digress. The bottom line is that you are not a libertarian or a capitalist. You are a statist and a theocrat.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
A rogue Goldi is a dangerous Goldi.
Pevvania
Lol I do not worship Wotan or the Æsir. I'm a Christian. You can't believe every word that those guys say on the Discord :þ
Also, Iceland is number 10 when it comes to both silicon and aluminum production (not per capita). And I may not be a libertarian but I'm most certainly a capitalist
Not if you support the government buying up all the arable land and renting it to farmers.
Pevvania, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Miencraft, Rateria
Ever heard of geolibertarianism?
Actually it's 700% and I do not support it except on some agricultural products. Also, I have not said that some jobs should be limited to natives (except members of Alþingi). Rather, I just don't want the foreigners in the country in the first place ;)
Pure capitalism works temporary. I'm a Laissez-Faire Capitalist, but even i think that going completley capitalist is suicide. Move a little to the left, while staying in the right, and you've got yourself the recipe for success. I would make a comment about Anarchy, but i don't wanna become public enemy numner uno

Well, if Iceland has such a thriving industrial base, perhaps it could create menial job opportunities for some of these immigrants once the welfare laws are repealed. But if you bind them to the land like serfs and deny basic freedom of movement, that not only seems inimical to libertarianism but also your stated goal of getting the immigrants out of your country. I don't care what "geolibertarianism" entails, but state ownership of arable land is not libertarian is any traditional or meaningful sense. Neither is the management of foreign people like cattle.
I don't believe in anarcho-capitalism either and believe that there should be some state regulations on the economy. The difference to be is that libertarianism advocates "minimal state regulations" while anarcho-capitalism, like anarchism proper, believes in "no state at all."

Yeah well guess what? I'm not a libertarian. And they are foreigners in my country, and are in here on our terms. If they don't like the terms they can get the hell out of the country
Post self-deleted by El Casablanca.
Of course they could. But not if you made them into serfs.
Yes. Leave or work
You lost me at "I'm not a libertarian"

"Iceland is expensive, so let's make it more expensive!" YAY LOGIC
Miencraft, Pevvania, Rateria
But you see, a capitalist system with thriving industry and no welfare laws can do that on its own.
You don't need dictatorships that organize people by hook or by crook into state-owned collective farms.

Miencraft, Rateria, Acelandinisia, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Anarcho-capitalism is a great idea that, at least in a modern context, has never been properly tried. When society matures we should look at the dissolution of the state as a viable option. However, right now we have numerous international issues that can only be solved by collective action through the state. If we abolished the state now, the void would be filled by the UN and other groups or even foreign governments like Russia and China. We probably can't get rid of the Fed right now, unfortunately, because then China and England would effectively dictate our interest rates. And if we got rid of all tariffs on our own, where would that leave us with the rest of the world?
The challenge of the 21st Century, from a libertarian point of view, is of how we shrink the state permanently and at the same time convince our the rest of the world to follow suit. Luckily, America is still the sole superpower, so we're in a good position to lead the way.
