Region: Libertatem
I find the fact that anybody has voted for me very surprising.
I am not looking to get into another pointless argument with you.
We both said some stupid things last night and I was a little mad, that is the end of that story.
Citizens, this is another campaign message!
We are running out of time! Both sides of this election are fighting very hard battles, but members of the RLP can still pull this out! We are going to go down to the wire and if you want your party to remain the majority, then we must stand together. Our enemies seek to divide and conquer, but for the good of Libertatem we must stand united. We are strong Reaganists, and we must make an impenetrable wall to protect the freedoms and liberties that we so enjoy. This election could be the most important of our time, so you MUST act! We can still dominate the Board! *cheers of approval and inspiration*
Any new voters?
Anarcho-Capitalism offers more freedoms and liberties, and no, we won't destroy the region if elected, thank you very much.
"The Liberty Front is a very large, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service."
This means that my opponent forces its nation's people to fight. Do you really want this person in any position of power? No, you don't. Vote for Zarden and Endralia for a more free Libertatem. The Anarcho Capitalist party aims to reduce government power, give it to the people, and allow businesses to grow, to keep everybody happy and healthy.
It was just propaganda. This is how you campaign. The only thing was trying to accomplish was rally RLP support, not trash ACPs. That is just how elections work. Thank you very much.
How the hell could anarchists keep people healthy?
[nation=short]The Liberty Front[/nation] is not representative of my beliefs. If you'd like to attack my in-game decisions, at least direct the attacks at my main nation: [nation]The New United States[/nation]. If it's not obvious from the "national happenings" list, I don't even do issues on [nation=short]The Liberty Front[/nation]
Besides, what kind of an Anarcho-Capitalist would have a "ban on automobiles?"
And further: "private enterprise is illegal," in Zarden.
So, don't attack my in-game nation, until you look at your own, hypocrite.
WOO.
I'm not for conscription at all, don't get me wrong, but you can't ignore the positive factors of it like always having a standing army, teaching discipline and respect to the people through being a soldier and others. But my "live your life freely" ideals shift me way from conscription. I think the positives and negatives of pro and anti conscription are pretty balanced.
He's got you there
I agree, that was great.
I am anti-conscription, as well. Not only does it contradict the whole personal-freedoms thing, but it also degrades the quality of the armed forces, from what I've seen.
How the hell are anarchists going to govern a region of this size and population? That's like putting big target on us for Communist raiders. Speaking of which, when is anyone going to mention anything about the fundamental base of this region. Combating Commies. Beside the idea of taking on the Black Riders, no one has said anything about our heart and soul, just trashing people of slightly varying viewpoints. I for one, assure the people that, if elected, I will serve as either a Chairman or member, depending on the majority, that is dedicated to supporting and defending our region. As well as maintaining Libertatem's trademark reputation of leading the charge against oppressive entities within the world.
We are engaged in a political civil war. But, we are strong. If this region, conceived and dedicated to the proliferation of liberty, falls from petty domestic conflict, who will lead the charge? Furthermore, our region is comprised of people with varying twists on essentially similar ideologies. Why would we tear apart such a great place? The fact that everyone is so dedicated to regional politics truly inspires me but, why so much hostility? In the words of Lincoln: "A House divided cannot stand." We must pay heed to these great words, for it may be the best hope for the continuity of our citadel of freedom. Participate in these elections but tread lightly, we are all friends here.
I don't know about you guys, but I thought that was bootiful.
And to all those who have grudges against one another over debates that are in the past, "Let the dead bury the dead". Don't let things get personal.
I would definitely support a more aggressive foreign policy, for Libertatem.
How often do we do raids/liberations, at the moment?
It was great... And then you went and quoted Lincoln
Don't quote me on this, but I think [nation=short]Blahbania[/nation] said something like 15 raids lately. That can be confirmed later when he gets on, but my point is that I feel like that should be a fundamental issue in this election. Libertatem is Liberty in Latin, so we should focus on that. It is our name.
But when he paraphrased the great Walter White, it evened out
Yes, I like you again.
I felt like it needed an allusion to an important time in history. And my emphasis wasn't on Lincoln, it was on the words he said, which are very true regardless of the person. And I mean come on, Walter White. *drops microphone and walks off stage*
GATORADE ME, BITCH
1st seat: Muh Roads RLP - SECURED
2nd seat: Humpheria, RLP (10) / Endralia, ACP (6)
3rd seat: Ronald Reagan and Rick Grimes, RLP (9) / Alchandria, LOP (7) (Replacing Islands)
4th seat: Miencraft, ACP - SECURED
5th seat: The Liberty Front, RLP (8) / Zarden, ACP (8) (Replacing Abaretta)
In this latest update it looks like the RLP has the edge. The fifth seat is a tie as of now.
With the rise of libertarian Parties in the region, I'm surprised there was not more interest in the original LP. As a proud member of the traditional Party (the Party of Snabagag, btw), I am hoping to see more members. We are trying to get organized as of now and would appreciate your comments or questions (to one of the Party leaders or on the RMB).
Is it weird that i'm kind of jealous i didn't have an opponent? I wanted to debate. :( lol

Hey The People's Republic of Zarden, im curious... how does your nation have a constitution if it's an anarchy? Or political parties in a leaderless country?
WHO BUILDS YOUR ROAADDDSSS???? Just kidding on the last one.
What do you guys think of unemployment benefits? I think they definitely serve a role, as when job markets are down it becomes extremely difficult to find work, despite the need to get the 'lazy people' back to work. However, I think the system could be run much more efficiently by the private sector. So unemployment insurance should be privatised.
Here is my real-life political theorem:
First, we need to lower, or abolish, taxes on citizens and businesses. With lower regulations, businesses will come and bring jobs with them. Once we have jobs, make more of an incentive for people to go out and get a job by lowering unemployment spending. What few people still can't get jobs, the disabled and the like, get privatized unemployment, and companies can make it a marketable resource. Once the government no longer is working on unemployment, we can start regulating government spending and start working on the national debt and the various other problems in America. Ta-da better America (or UK).
That's called private charity and it worked really well until the welfare state blossomed
That last seat is just crazy
1st seat: Muh Roads RLP - SECURED

In this final stretch of the election I would like to thank The Lone Star for presiding over this election. Next, I would like to thank my opponent Endralia for making this so interesting. I want to thank all candidates in this race for taking the time to care. Finally I would like to thank the citizens of Libertatem for voting and getting involved. Whatever the outcome, it has been great!
Would like to point out that it's actually seat 3, not 4.
I am seat 4.
Actually, I'd prefer you delete that comment so as to erase my mistake....but, eh.
Hello!
Howdy.
What do you want to talk about?
Is a night-watchman archipelago like Volun welcome?
Of course, as long as you're not a communist. Then I stab you and kick you and punch you and gangnam style over you, and shoot you left pinkie toe. You're not a commie are you? lol jk
My favorite sound is the sound of drowning communists.
Volun is for freedom, equality and democracy, so it is hardly communist.
I don't even know how to erase mistakes, I've written in pen for as long as I can remember.
Aaaanywaaays...
Going to go a little country on the Yankees present, others you can watch in envy.

Dierks Bentley- "Home"
I don't like many modern country songs. Dierks ain't so bad.. but I listen to alot of underground country.. Hank 3, rebel son, and a few artists you prolly never heard of lol.
By the by, i was born in Michigan... I love the state besides the damn ice on the roads..not the people.. but I go to Tennessee where the other half of my family lives and no one knows im technically from up north.. never understood that one lol!
I've never liked Country past Johnny Cash.
For country, I basically just stick with Johnny Cash.
That was perfectly timed
Wow
I love Johnny Cash, Jennings, Haggard, Paycheck, Lefty, and Billy Joe Shaver.. outlaw country is great.
For me, it isn't the time or the artist, it's the message.
amen to that
Post self-deleted by Blahbania.
Another Amen.
AMEN INDEED!
*Starts playing "Are you ready for a miracle"
Time to bust out the Hallelujah Chorus and have a sing-along.
I agree to some extent. But the music has to appeal to you otherwise the message doesnt mean much. Most modern country just sounds like pop to me, where the outlaw and classic country that I prefer was the old "four strings and the truth". Not trying to dis modern country, theres quite a few new ones I like.. Ol'Red happens to be one of my favorites.. I enjoy quite a few Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley songs. Among some others. I saw Zach Brown Band and Kid Rock play chicken fried together In Detroit... that was pretty awesome.
HALLELUJAH!
Anyone who can read music, get your happy asses over here and start printing out copies of The Messiah.
Look, I get your anticommunism, but how exactly are you libertarian? You seem more like McCarthyists.
This region thrives off McCarthyism, but don't be fooled; there are many libertarian elements to this region as well.
The regional government doesn't tell people what to do. The nations here, for the most part, don't believe in the authoritarian doctrines of social conservatism or economic liberalism. No, we're a bunch of social libertarians and economic conservatives who are tired of seeing not only Stalinists, but fascists running amok and subjugating other regions. We defy the tyranny of attempted communism in places such as the USSR or Cuba or China.
Make sense?
Here are the final results for our election. It looks like the RLP has narrowly taken seats 2 and 3. The final seat is a tie. As the Attorney General of this region, I will analyze the constitution to see how this tie will be broken. Until that time, seats 1 to 4 will be changed and seat 5 will remain empty.
1st seat: Muh Roads RLP - SECURED
2nd seat: Humpheria, RLP (10) / Endralia, ACP (7)
3rd seat: Ronald Reagan and Rick Grimes, RLP (9) / Alchandria, LOP (8) (Replacing Islands)
4th seat: Miencraft, ACP - SECURED
5th seat: The Liberty Front, RLP (9) / Zarden, ACP (9) (Replacing Abaretta)
Interesting results. But remember that the new Board's term begins on January the 1st.
I recommend either an extended period of voting for Seat 5 or a second round of voting.
I'll look through the laws...
An Official Statement From the Office of the Chairman
As this race reaches it's close, I am grateful for my reelection. I would like to congratulate Endralia on a well run campaign. I would also like to congratulate the other victors in this race. I look forward to working with you all in the coming months. It has been an honor working with you, and I will miss you Islands and Abaretta. Thanks be to all nations that participated in this race and those who voted, it has been fun. God Bless Libertatem!
Yours in Liberty,
Chairman of the Board
Second Seat
Idealism is now the new Internal Affairs Manage r. I feel it was irresponsible of me to allow the position to be basically vacant for so long, especially when this type of grievance was something I criticised the previous President of repeatedly. Always feel free to critique my job performance and make suggestions for policy actions.
I am also invoking executive order to extend voting until the end of the day for Seat 5. If a conclusive result is not attained, then I will have the Board convene on a solution.
Way to compromise.
Frankly I don't want to see the winner chosen by the Board. The people of Libertatem should decide Seat 5.
I'm not sure of the legality of this move.
I am fairly sure it's legal, but you can always make a case in court.
What time would be "the end of the day" that's pretty vague.
Refer to Article II, Subsections II and III.
Extended voting will end at 11:59 PM, EST.
To the citizens,
In the event that no conclusive winner is established in the fifth seat, the newly elected Board (Muh Roads, Humpheria, RRRG, Miencraft) will convene at 1:00 AM, EST to decide the victor of he race. The official results will be announced before 12:00 PM, EST tomorrow. This is all in case a conclusion isn't reached in the vote. The new Board will be voting due to the fact hat neither Islands or Abaretta have been active since December 11, and we cannot take the risk of not getting a substantial turn-out.
On behalf of the Board,
[B]Chairman of the Board[/B]
I will exercise my position for the region as best I can. Shouldn't be too hard considering I've done it before for several months. ;)
Also, I have a joke.
What do you call an influential political figure whose job it is to keep the peace?
ACOP. (Get it? Get it?)
Oh my god, I don't know why, but I am dying right now.
Post self-deleted by Blahbania.
Are you alright? How do you know you are dying?
Gettin' real tired of you, boy.
I'll likely be on the road.. so consider my vote for the RLP. If it comes to such a thing.
With that note, I'm leaving for Tennessee sometime tomorrow. Internet will be shakey down there.. because i'll have to use my phone service. Im gonna try to log in once a day though. But i am not likely to log in tomorrow... so do not expect me.
Thank you, and have fun in Tennessee, just don't go making any redneck-Yankee jokes, I consider myself to be a Southerner. Watch yourself Michigan Boy.
DOHOHO I MADE HUMPHERIA DEAD
I IS GOOD COMEDIAN
I'll likely be asleep
Well, yeah, most people are going to be, but I'll guess that we can submit our votes until noon.
That was the point of waiting that long.
So... I am about to get hit by a tornado, so *sniffles*... I love you all. *sobs*
So I live in CT, and one time the news reported that there was going to be a tornado like right on my street, and there was a fallen tree blocking the road, so we were all like saying our final goodbyes and the tornado never came.
I wish we'd get a tornado over here. Mix things up, you know.
I mean, they're terrible, but we just don't get enough really bad storms here. They give me lots of opportunities to discuss government funding for rebuilding lost property.
Shall I make sure your will is in order, Humhperia? You know, just in case what I'm hoping doesn't happen happens. Probably won't, but it's nice to make sure your affairs are in order. That way they can be taxed properly. Darn estate taxes.
Yes, I can turn anything into the government.
That is almost exactly what just happened here, right down to the fallen tree.
Pray that you don't. And no will today, but you will definitely be my estate lawyer, solely because of your humor.
I'm Alive!
Redneck Yankee jokes? I'm not sure what you mean by that.. Lol. I've lived in Tennessee for half my life.. Born in Michigan only by inconvenience I assure you. Lol :p
And if you haven't guessed it by my musical choice.. I'm definitely a Redneck.. Country boy.. What have you. Grew up on dirt roads.. I've raised horses, cattle, and crops as well. Have to show you around northern Michigan one day Humph, you might be surprised. :)
Oh, I was just joking with ya! I did honestly think that you were a Northerner by right, though. But we seem to be from the same cloth, I just spent an hour in the barn with my livestock.
I got about two dozen cattle, three horses, four hens, a rooster, and a hog. And we had a good crop of soy and corn this year.
