Region: Libertatem

History

What do you think about my new flag? It incorporates the original Libertatem flag in the interest of anti-communism and tradition, the AntiSta logo whose principles guide our military policies, and the Roman goddess Libertas which gives us something to stand for.

Libertarians and beer? Can I come too?

NO! I grew up as a Jahovah's Witness but I am free from oppressive religion now.. plan to keep it that way!

But yea.. if you grew up as a Jehovah's Witness you are very unlikely to accept religion again when you get away from it..

Also, if anyone needs me for anything, Steam is a great way to get in contact with me.

Just make sure I know who you are so I don't block you. I think you should be able to comment on my profile without being a friend, but I'm not sure. If you can't, just TG me with your Steam name and I'll let you in.

I am going to renounce the Catholic Church and go non denomitional when I turn 18.

I've heard that my old religion is similar to Mormonism..

Sure. In about 5 years, when I got money and incentive. :p

The Amarican Empire wrote:But the north is cold. Can't libertarians move to Virginia or something so I have the best of both worlds?

No. Virginia is as authoritarian as heck. New Hampshire has no seatbelt laws, no state income tax, no sales tax, none of that. No wonder it was chosen as the FSP.

It's a bit odd that you'd incorporate all of that on there. A bit busy too.

North Korea-Chan wrote:I've heard that my old religion is similar to Mormonism..

It's not. Not at all. We preach yes, but we are more sane then people talking about watch towers.

Speaking of that the JW finally visited me yesterday! They gave me the Pamphlet.

Telegram me if you have questions on Mormonism.

I DO HAVE TO LEAVE NOW BYE!

Yeah I noticed they go up to 85% and as low as 33% so I deleted that and put this one in instead.

Alabama. Mobile to be specific.

I've not had JW talk to me here in Arkansas after I moved here to get away from evils back in Georgia..

Wonder what I'll say when I see them.. I know I should say I am pagan! they hate pagans! Best way for me to rebel is become pagan..

There are three branches of Mormonism.

I need stuff to do on V2. I have coded out Accurate Political Parties for Britain, France and America by now, but I'm not sure what to do with the game next.

Most of my family is there aside from my parents who moved to Atlanta when I was born.. I spent most my life in Georgia and a good 7 years here in Siloam Springs Arkansas. I miss the loblolly pine trees the deep South has.. most the trees here are so small.. Though it might be because the weather here is insane..

The modern south is the best part of the us!

Do you mean the 2 mods that you choose in the start up menu? Those shut off my game too so I don't use them.

No! I want to do this manually.

But that's harder to do!

Check to see if we have any procedure already relating to citizenship, and look for loopholes.

Well we don't have a IA minster so where does that power fall too? The House?

Just give him his citizenship!

Thanks.

It was a commission at first, but the guy who ordered it never used it, so now I am.

Maybe only temporarily, but it'll get use, at least.

I wish our flag had more meaning then anti communism but I would prefer miens flag as the region flag over our current plane one.

We could, y'know, put it to a vote, or something.

I motion that we have a referendum to change our plain flag to miens sexy flag. Do i hear a second?I

Well, it does, but apparently that's all some people can see.

Can I second it?

It doesn't.

There's a Communist symbol inside a No circle. Nothing else. It symbolizes nothing else.

Conservative Idealism In Libertatem wrote:Well, it does, but apparently that's all some people can see.

The flag itself really only seems to mean Anti-Communism, since that's what the region was made for.

What the region itself stands for is a totally different discussion.

This.

What about this one? [Nation=RandomPuppet]

Funkytopia wrote:What about this one?

I kinda like that one, too.

Miencraft wrote:I kinda like that one, too.

I think it combines our region's heritage, the War, and our fight for liberty quite nicely, if I may say so myself! :)

The Human-Equine Alliance wrote:It doesn't.

Not so.

First of all, the hammer and sickle - yes, it's considered the catch-all communist symbol, but it has a deeper meaning than that; it's a sign of proletarian whatever perpetuated by the former Soviet Union, and thus the symbol of Vanguardist communism. (This is why many socialist and former-socialist countries in the real world today ban the use of this symbol, much the same way one would ban the swastika.) By crossing it out, we denounce authoritarian communism much the same way libertarian communists and socialists would, in solidarity with libertarians on both right and left.

The blue background might seem like a random choice, but it isn't; it is the color of conservatism and of liberty, and completes the flag by giving it the connotation of freedom's promotion than of our otherwise reactionary principles.

Finally, our flag is very traditional; we've had it for a very long time, and for good reason. Many attempts have been made to change it for a light and transient cause, and all have failed.

Why not have a poll choosing between the original flag, Mein's gold-black-red flag, and the blue-red-white Libertas flag? In order to ensure majority support for the chosen flag, we can always have a run-off if one does not secure at least 50%.

As my first action as board member, I'd like to propose a board vote on whether to conduct a poll.

So you second my motion? Funky

Jambion wrote:Can I second it?

Look, we're going to have a busy month here. We can't spent all of our time looking at flags; we've got transparency issues to consider, a Constitutional Amendment to vote on, and new superiors to cooperate with. Can we please focus on something more pertinent?

For instance, I think I heard someone complain about Lack's proposed Bureaucratic Restrictions Amendment earlier. What about it? What's wrong with it?

The Amarican Empire wrote:So you second my motion? Funky

I'll second it within the framework of the three choices.

I'm new, so I may not understand protocol, but if the preponderance of residents would like a flag change, wouldn't a flag change be pertinent?

Jambion wrote:I'm new, so I may not understand protocol, but if the preponderance of residents would like a flag change, wouldn't a flag change be pertinent?

Perhaps, but so far I don't see much evidence to suggest a high popular demand for a flag change. The only citizens that have expressed interest in altering the design so far are two Board members who, incidentally, have conveniently refrained from commenting on this month's itinerary.

Could you please post a link to the proposed amendment?

We do need to follow some order. To answer your earlier question, I believe you will need to apply for citizenship in 10 days to become a citizen and, therefore, a member of the House of Representatives. Then you may second a House proposal.

I know, it's like herding cats...

I support a public, official log for Board votes, with the possible exceptions of decisions regarding sensitive regional security matters. It's important that the voters know for certain where their elected officials stand and an official log will help to ensure that votes are counted correctly.

Jambion wrote:That seems frivolous. Who made that rule?

I don't remember who made it, but it has my full support.

Reason being? Security - it's all too common for newcomers to various NS regions to propose radical changes and cite democracy as the reason they want to make them, so we simply establish a waiting period for aspiring citizens to get acclimated in the region's atmosphere. It makes for a well-informed populace, and keeps us out of petty power struggles, which is a considerable relief.

Or, in this case, babysitting aspiring fashion designers. Hehe.

I would support that as well. Would it be enough to consider such a log official Board policy, or would we additionally need to pass legislation on the matter to mandate the upkeep of such a log?

Jambion wrote:That seems frivolous. Who made that rule?

It's in our Constitution, which makes Libertatem a region of laws. While it may be inconvenient, it helps to keep things orderly so that matters may be properly debated by nations with a serious interest in the region.
