I'm doing good, Humph. Out of curiosity, do you prefer DC or Marvel?

Not much of a comic man myself, but I'd have to go with DC. I like Batman. ;)

Good. Batman would single-handedly destroy any of the forgettable tripe Marvel produce.

Uh, I like both, but Marvel is where it is at. My favorite is Captain America, Don't you judge me.

Great to have you back. Why don't you go back to your old nation Zarden?

Huh. That's actually a good idea. I'll try that.

The clusterf*** of Seat 4.

No other challengers for 3, by the way?

Zarden wrote:Yo.

Yo.

Meh. I don't really like this nation.

I think I'll use this one.

Would you rather???

Watch CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC?

Personally, I don't really watch either. I watch a little bit of CNN and Fox, but I usually watch the Blaze.

And it kind of says it right in the poll.

I am seat number 3, how did I get moved to four?

I think they meant Seat #3. Can we edit the poll?

Nobody ever seems notice the blatant unconstitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission. That should be the easiest government agency to eliminate. The US does have it much better than Britain, though. Over here, saying the wrong thing can literally get you locked up in prison.

That sucks. Hopefully it gets repealed.

Unlikely. Even the politicians here that actually care about downsizing government wont get rid of political tools like censorship, lest they become uncompetitive.

I watched a documentary about a unknown country named Nauru, in the pacific. It used to be, 30 years ago, the richest country per capita after a country like Saudi Arabia or UAE, I don't remember. 10 000 inhabitants and during 30 years, more than 2 billions dollars of profits due to the phosphate extraction.

Today, the life expectancy barely reaches 60 years old, the country is in ruins and the obesity and unemployment rate are about 90%...

Good example of what corruption and very poor management can do...

I't s like a small Venezuela.

Does anybody know where I can read about so-called "anarchist" Catalonia?

It sounds like a very unique place. It really needs to start attracting tourism if it wants to survive.

Pevvania wrote:Does anybody know where I can read about so-called "anarchist" Catalonia?

You can read about "So-called "Anarchist" Catalonia" in homage to catalonia, by George Orwell. As well as any book by Level.

Blame Humpy.

And does it really matter what the number is? We can change it later.

Changing it now would mean I have to close the poll and start it over again. So just deal with it.

I know a lot about Nauru. The only business on the island is Capelle's. The 10% of the employed works for the Government, Police or Capelle's. There was a trust fund, but that disappeared over time.

I wouldn't mind living there. I could build a small shack, go fishing, buy essentials, etc.

Puppet moving to get more nations and thus making your region look better?

Kind of Pathetic.

Founding a puppet just to move here and brag about how your region is better?

Kind of pathetic.

I think our activity compares well with other regions that have many more nations. Do we really want to be like NK or DK with four or five active nations? Who cares about a bunch of inactive puppets?

I don't know who most of these new nations that have came in are, so if they are puppets let them speak for themselves first.

That being said, I think we should overhaul our citizenship requirements to be slightly more strict, while keeping residence and migration free for all. Ergo, we'll have a "real" population consisting of registered citizens, and the region population which is less important, imo. A few ideas, mainly to deter spies and disloyals, are having a military service requirement and population requirement for your "main." Otherwise we should kick suspected spies or peoples puppets unless they are actively harming the region without a trial, as that would be unlibertarian. Residence is already tolerated even if you are an enemy of Libertatem (i.e. HJL Information Puppet) and it should be for two conditions: you either have no WA in this region, or if you do the WA is endorsing the delegate.

Thoughts?

we should not kick* fix

With this mass recruitment drive, I think a welcome message should be set. Just my 2 Cents.

Indeed.

"Otherwise we should (not) kick suspected spies or peoples puppets unless they are actively harming the region without a trial, as that would be unlibertarian."

Renegalis wrote:II agree it would be an incredibly statist policy to ban people without trial and force people into service

Maybe not service, but some way to verify that you aren't some spy in obtaining citizenship. Service is the easiest way to prove loyalty, but I can see it's complications as not all people support the war on totalitarianism here or wish to get involved. Perhaps it could be merely an option for citizenship, with another option being something like, having 250 population or something, I don't know.

I can see the point and I think it works in most regions but not here we have to allow people to show their morality and be free

Well, the joke's on you, because you capitalised the P in pathetic, which is grammatically incorrect unless the word is describing a place or a thing!

PAHAHAHAHA! How embarrassing!

Renegalis wrote:Trust them until they give us a reason not to

You mean, like, what we're already doing?

We do need to be stricter with our immigration, but not so much that we discourage new nations from arriving. Sometimes, spies have the misfortune of being very, very obvious. Other times, not so much. We need to make sure the latter don't get through the process, while still ensuring the average Joe can get through.

Also, I skipped Seat 3 because Humpy just listed Ankha out of nowhere, and Ankha himself didn't announce.

RRRG is also assumed to be Independent because he didn't name a party he's running under and I think he was also Independent last time.

Please, note that I will be a NLP and not anymore an independent in the next board.

I like the current citizenship requirements, but I think that all citizens should be WA members.

It's up to the citizens, and I think it's good.

Shermaniya wrote:I like the current citizenship requirements, but I think that all citizens should be WA members.

No.

I, personally, am strongly anti-WA and feel that we, as a free region, should not subject our people to the incredibly restrictive monstrosity that is the WA.

Ankha announced the first day someone mentioned it. He was one of the "I will defend my seat" people. Don't accuse me, El Presidente. *under breath* Il est une bite.

Humpheria wrote:Ankha announced the first day someone mentioned it. He was one of the "I will defend my seat" people. Don't accuse me, El Presidente. *under breath* Il est une bite.

But he wasn't on any of the other listings, and when I pointed out that he was listed out of nowhere he just responded "Yeah" vaguely, which I took to mean that he said he was just listed out of nowhere.

So, let's settle this once and for all:

Ankha, are you running?

Congratulations, RWN! I look forward to serving with you next month.
