Region: Libertatem
Je viens juste de vous rencontrer, mais vous semblez comme un homme bon.
Je m'appelle Humpy, au Jake. Et toi?
Well I hope we've all learned a valuable lesson. Learn other languages. Anyone want to learn Russian with me?
I'll learn russian! Russia is awesome!
Mon nom est (My name is) Gilles (English phonics: geel-ay).
Being bi-lingual is great!
When I studied in Bordeaux, my exchange brother's little brother was named Gilles. I love that name. Much better than Gaston, his name.
It's a popular Aquitanian name. I think it is a great name, sounds exotic. American girls love it.
It's a major world power
That is true with every foreign name. La filles de la francais j'adore Jake.
That it is.
Oui, moi j'adore Jake, aussi!
Merci!
Guys, pardon the intrusion, but I must ask the region, and I hope this spurs a debate, a question. Between China, Russia, and Arabic nations, each with their respective languages, of those three which is the better language to learn? I'd like to hear all of your comments on those countries, and the advantages and disadvantages of learning the languages of those countries.
There are a lot of Arabic immigrants in France. I don't like the language. To be frank, I don't like any of those languages.
Chinese would be most beneficial, for business purposes and the such.
Well I am assuming China will collapse soon. The Arabic world will end up killing itself so I would say russian.
What do you think of my new flag?
I love it
And best yet, it's true that Communists died from starvation in the USSR.
I suppose it would depend on what career field you intend to go into
Yeah, but sadly it wasn't just the communists, but the enslaved Kulaks that took a lot of the heat.
True
Damn those Soviets with the poor food distribution.
I mean, a lot of it was intentional.
As to maximize profits to the buffer states like Poland and etc.

Yeah, they might be the most troubling form of anarchist as it's a free for all.
One of my favorite things to hear from syndicalists is the "victories" of the Spanish anarchists during the civil war. Not that I sympathize with the fascists what so ever, but we will never no what was lost due the efforts of the revolutionaries on the left . Political in-fighting, and international sabotage aside, if the republican forces had allowed production to stay in private hands and not scared off western powers with communist rantings there is a strong possibility they could have won against the fascists. If this had been the case, Spain would be in an entirely different position as then it is today.
Spain might not be experiencing that unemployment problem right now.
Spain might not be experiencing this entirely incompetent and outmoded system of government right now. Imagine a Spain that's had a century under a stable republican system as opposed to the turmoil produced by Franco and the incompetence displayed by the reinstated monarchy.
Spain would be rich... very rich.
Think how rich Britain would be if it girl rid of its monarchy.
My point being that the instability caused by Anarcho-syndacism was one of the big reason republican forces lost the war and any claims of increased "productivity" during war time in regions controlled by syndicates should be treated with utmost suspicion.
Lack the savior of the people.
I think the UK would have not been much richer as it wasn't an absolute monarchy after a certain point. Lord North was the problem which made the US rebel and not King George. Spain being ran by Fascists on the other hand wouldn't be good economically.
I think Washington helped create the nation through all the precedents he set (starting with actually not becoming a dictator, but he was also a hypocrite who betrayed his own principles in the interests of "strengthening the nation". The same guy who rebelled against England for enacting a 2% tax on tea ended up murdering four people for not complying with a 25% tax on whiskey. He also dealt a blow to states' rights by signing the Fugitive Slave Act, and sold the country down the river with the First Bank of the United States. And Humph is correct about his military record; it is overrated and in some cases dishonourable. He had as many failures as he had successes, and some historians even think he was responsible for the Great Fire of New York.
So yeah, he was pretty good in some respects, but still not great.
I want some consensus on this. Can I put it to vote?
Deportation Constitutional Amendment
The Founder, President or other designated official may eject and ban any nation, that is not a citizen or former citizen, deemed an enemy combatant. An enemy combatant may be classified as any nation or player that seeks to intentionally harm the region through military actions, espionage or any other activity that is deliberately destructive against the region.
Changes
Article VII
Subsection IV
Every nation has a right to represent him or herself in a trial or case when banjection is considered. If the case is made to the founder and on the Regional Message Board using legal authority, suppression will not follow.

The DC Amendment looks good to me. Perhaps we could call it the Deportation Of Opposing Renegades Amendment? That way we could tell enemy combatants that we're showing them the DOOR.
I would like to put this to a vote.
The Board has passed the adoption of Parliamentary Procedure and Board Officers. The officers are as follows:
Sergeant-at-Arms, second in command - Godisdead
Secretary, keeps record of every vote - Baphometus
Press Secretary, briefs the region on results of votes - Amarican Empire
Seconded
Well I got the short end of that stick.
Sorry, you're the one that is knowledgeable enough to do that.
Well look at this, the Board is up and moving.
So, Das Kommune is recruiting Kraanei into TRF.
Hmmm
Urgh
...
Not our problem.
Voluntary association is the cornerstone of libertarianism.
So, who is going to put up a poll for Pev's ammendements?
Also, Godisdead has been RMB Blocked, for some non-apparent reason, so, should you need to reach him, tgs.
Did he say something offensive?
No, it is an extension of his brother's ban.
Oh
Meow
Why do the mods hate hallo so much?
[joke]Because I'm gay[/joke]
I think the mods may be from Texas.
Stop with the mod-hating guys. That never ends well.
That's a point
Or New York. Despite the fact that "progressives" are in control there, anti-gay laws there are some of the strictest in the nation.
the difference was the tax on whiskey was by Americans to Americans. The tax on tea was a tax by the British on Americans.
It's why the Whiskey Rebellion collapsed on itself as taxation with representation is a lot more effective than taxation without representation.
Woohoo, now I have three points
Hm. But if we count "of" as a lowercase word, that would just make it the DOR Amendment. Deportation of Outstandingly Oppositional Renegades Amendment?
Or, you could count "Amendment" and call it "DORA"
Or change Renegades to Militants, and make it DOMA. tee-hee
hello
Welcome to Libertatem, Hermesgrad.
thanks :)
so what goes on around here?
We talk about stuff. And raid stuff. And do both at the same time.
We discuss real world politics, debate in-game politics, and raid commies and fascists.
It's a Centrist and Right-Libertarian region that discusses politics, vote on legislation, and occasionally raid commies. This region is just as much anti-Communist as Libertarian.
We also like to pass legislation
i gathered haha
sounds good. do you have to be a citizen before you join a party?
No, but you have to be a citizen to vote for and hold public office.

Communazis.
Communazis everywhere.
No, I joined the RLP and I wasn't a citizen.
What region is full of Stalins/Communazis?
Granted, they are more like Kimjongunazis.
if you guys dont like commies why do you have a political party?
Because it's good to have an opposing view.
To prove that Libertatem will accept everyone regardless of ideology, unlike The Internationale.
Freedom of assembly, and the parties are privatized. Anyone can start one.
I think they Noppa Gangnam Style
cool, seems like a decent region.

everything is so organised, i love it.
The private sector is efficient shyt.
Fun fact: it appears that the Libertarian Party actually holds some solid achievements. According to Wikipedia, Dick Randolph, Alaska State Representative and the first Libertarian to be elected to partisan office, championed the elimination of the Alaska state income tax, "who persuaded his fellow legislators to pass the bill after mounting an initiative to force a public vote should the legislature not act." He also helped to create the Alaska Permanent Fund.
i like Alaska, id like to visit the tundra sum day.
Naturally.
My friend, Belmaria, the leader of The Hyatt Islands, actually works for the Libertarian Party on some stuff in Virginia (I recall).
Impressive.
Here's an interesting history of state-local tax burdens over time here: http://taxfoundation.org/article/annual-state-local-tax-burden-ranking-fy-2011
The real thorn in the LP's side is *dundun* the Republicans, who try to "legally" subvert the Libertarian Party because of the party "siphoning" votes off the Republicans and potentially costing them elections.
However, some Republicans have allied with the Libertarian Party, most notably Joe Miller of Alaska, a Tea Party rep.

I wish that the Republican, Libertarian, and Constitution Party's formed a Coalition.
Libertarians are arguably one of the Republicans dependent voter blocks, and alongside the Christian Right, Rockefeller Republicans, the Tea Party, and other factions, and arguably make up about 15-20% of the Republic Party, or one fifth.
sooo the labour party, whats up with that eh?
In some places like Indiana, the libertarians may be as much as 25% of the Republican Party with the Christian Right being the main wheel. Michigan has a lot of those Rockefeller kind.
