Region: Libertatem

History

Second that, bud. Live for Jesus.

Who here is a libertarian?

Wow so many things in common already! So what have you accomplished so far Liberosia?

We seized a communist region and we are growing this region to serve as a beakon for non-NAZI anti-communism. I was actually the one who asked the mods to create the tag 'anti-communist'.

What are all the nations you own?

That's my personal affair, Amerasia. We value the right to privacy here...as libertarians.

How do you "seized" a region?

1) The term you're looking for is "seize." "Seized" is past-tense.

2) You go in with a bunch of other countries, get delegate powers, and then just go about doing whatever.

Assuming my understanding of this stuff is correct.

In unrelated news, apparently my nation's gas prices are 6 Denarias.

That's like 12 dollars per gallon.

Ouch.

WOOHOO MY COUNTRY IS UNSAFE

That means it's free. After all, if you prefer safety to freedom you shouldn't have either of them.

But yeah.

Muggers on the streets and all that, most likely. For the best, though.

Damn hippies gonna try to get rid of it.

And then the Safest has 100% public sector, is currently in a Depression, and has 96% taxes and somehow maintains not-terrible civil rights.

I'll never understand this game.

I wish I could have a region

The IRU is dying? Can I help?

Post by Lengleland suppressed by Liberosia.

Lengleland

I understand many of you will be from the IRU, if so, I am sorry to hear about your regions apparent death, I Know you will have received many invitations to join various regions, but please here me out. Greetings, I come in peace. I am inviting all democratic/capitalist nations to join a new region that was created. The Union of Democratic States provides a home for all capitalist/democratic nations, come along and help us grow! Maybe you can get a place on the management team! We are the best and safest region on NationStates, consider our proposal. I am sorry im unable to provide a link.

I accepted same-sex marriage after holding it back since the founding of my nation, and civil rights dropped instantly. What the what, in the what a what?

I guess gays (I do realize it means happy, and is technically not correct to be used in this way, but it helps with the pun) having the freedom to be gay about being gay means that everyone else can't be gay with the gays being gay about being gay.

In all seriousness though, "I'll never understand this game."

Lengleland, this is not an ad-friendly region. I do not care about your motives for posting your message, but I must inform you that it is against game rules. I advise you to delete your comment.

Ads will, regretfully, be met with suppression.

The four nations above mine might be better at basket weaving, but my nation does it UNDERWATER. (Needless to say, all of our baskets are waterproof to some extent.)

Yeah, I'd like all of the CI baskets ASAP.

Looks like you need 'em. :P

Well, my nation's New York markets are always open. I'm sure several companies are selling them.

...I've been tracking my trend, and my economy, political freedoms, and civil rights are at an all-time high (or at least tied with it) compared to the past.

Wow, cool. My nation isn't bad, but eh, there's definitely room for improvement. Not to mention, more industry.

hi I was the ambassador to the IRU from Gallifrey II (hey that kinda rhymed :P)

but since it dissolved i figured i'd come here

I encourage everyone to read the constitution that will likely pass The Board. Here it is: The Libertatem Contitution

I just reactivated this thing and remembered why I had to let it go. This thing is way too addictive. Obsessive-compulsively checking every 2-3 hours. Trying to figure out how to get beyond minnow. Damn nationstates. I love you but I hate you!

I know what you mean. It drives me nuts.

You guys talk about it as though it's a problem. :P

Underwater basket weaving? You must employ a lot of naiads.

Well is there any information I can provide about Right To Life? If not, I think I'll be heading out soon. Thanks for the stay :)

Remember, everyone, The Department of Internal Affairs still has two slots open - I still need a hand with recruitment and with handling RMB-related stuff.

Our esteemed Manager, Einsiev, has approved the proposed constitution.

I congratulate Delegate [nation=short]Snabagag[/nation] on his hundreth day in office. Continue to serve the cause of liberty, Delegate Snabagag.

One more approval is needed by a Manager or Board Member in order for the Constitution of Libertatem to be ratified.

Congratulations to Snabagag for the big 100!

Welcome to the region, Rotgeheim.

It's nice to be here. I've always admired Libertatem.

Thank you, we appreciate it.

I'm just going to announce that I would like to join the Right Party.

The Flu suxxxxxxxxxx

I don't get it. Why does the IRU suddenly collapse?

And, how does nations "ceased to exist"?

It collapsed due to many things. Political strife, disagreement, and a coup, to name a few.

Nations cease to exist after being inactive for too long.

Oh, hey!! Thank you, Rotgeheim!

Oh my! Who was behind the coup?

I thought my nation was corrupt and I've been trying to fix it but these results are appauling!

Technically, I was.

It wasn't supposed to be a coup, but for whatever reason, people just didn't want Liberosia in the founder spot for the IRU.

I would like to suggest not talking about coups or the dismantlement of the IRU so we can avoid an argument on the RMB, I have no idea if you will argue but these things happen often on touchy issues.

There is currently problems with the ex-members, as well. Some punk with dozens of puppets (named after the members) is wrecking havoc.

Newly appointed Board Member Rotgeheim votes for the constitution. We now have a 2/3 majority and the document passes!

That punk would be Urea. I've heard stories about that nation's troll-ish-ness.

After the temporary government arrangements, I would like to:

1) Congratulate Manager [nation=short]Rotgeheim[/nation] as our new Manager of the State

2) Welcome Board Member [nation=short]Kentuck[/nation] back

3) And last but not least, congratulate [nation=short]Independent States of America[/nation] as the region's first Attorney General under our newly ratified constitution

Prost!

A dozen kegs of the finest Rotgeheim beer are being shipped to each of your nations, as a celebratory and thankful gesture.

Thank you for you gift, Manager.

It isn't laced with anything.

That works very well, I think.

I would hereby like to announce that the First House of Libertatem is now in session! *Smacks my imaginary gavel* Let us set the bar for future nations that join Libertatem and show them that we are one of the greatest regions out there. Lets show them that we are a civilised region that welcomes every with the respect that they earn and lets show the world that a constitutionalised region of freedom is a region to be reckoned with!

Gavel sounds like Gabel, which means "fork".

I would also Like to announce that Jim DeMint left the United States Senate to become the President of the ISA and I hope he'll actually run for the POTUS, I just love tea party members.

I feel like something isn't quite right in Libertatem.

I think you have the outside of Libertatem to worry about, Mr. Manager. There's plenty out there that has gone wrong recently.

Congratulations on being Manager of the State, Rotgeheim.

I'd just like to point out, that if the House wishes to make laws, it can. All members should read the new constitution.

Post self-deleted by The Grand Macallan.

I resign as Manager of State. As much as I'd like to be a part of Libertatem, I just cannot be at ease. My home is with the IRU - at least, with what is left of the IRU. I'm relocating to the FFS. Liberosia, you're a friend of mine and you've treated my exceptionally well, but I just can't fit in here. I'm missing my old colleagues too much. I've bonded with them through my days in the IRU, and I just cannot let those ties I have with them be severed. You are all exceptional people. I wish you all a prosperous life full of happiness. Farewell.

I saw that one coming a mile away.

It's fine, though. Good luck in your pursuits, and don't let the FFS bully you over something that wasn't your fault.

Hats off to you sir, Rotgeheim.

Steinweg will be replacing Rotgeheim in Libertatem.

You can't just barge in like that. Liberosia, the choice is yours.

Einsiev is right you must earn the postion not just demand it!

If you live in this region, don't disrespect it! Work for the position.

Steinweg is a puppet of Rotgeheim. As of now, he will hold no political office.

Nice catch. I worked for mine, and if he wasn't a puppet, he could have earned his.

Looks like an opportunity for an up-and-comer.

He must take us for idiots.

Enough of this hostility.

I wish to congratulate us all on our newly ratified constitution, may it be what secures our future!

I also wish to publicly thank the former manager of the state, Independent States Of America, for his exceptional work as manager. I wish him good luck in his new place.

I'm not taking you for idiots. I moved this nation here so that I could stil have ties with you all while keeping my other nation in the FFS. I didn't expect a political office. And as for the category my nation is in, I am going to address my issues to improve both civil rights and politcal freedoms.

Well why did you demand for one.

Is anyone else not feeling totally represented by the region's party system? It would be nice getting an additional party officially added with a more specific platform.

Just elaborating on Macallan's message, he wants to form a new party and it will have very specific criteria. Maccallan, I suggest you keep posting your party details on the RMB.

"Well why did you demand for one."

He didn't. He said he was replacing Rotgeheim, not re-taking his position.

...I think he should be Manager of State, though. After all, who'd know more about diplomacy than someone who has been to several regions recently?

Liberosia - thanks for the clarification there. I wanted to be considerate of the board and was intentionally vague to avoid the perception of spamming. But, since you have asked, I will happily provide more details. The region's party system was, as I understand, intentionally created to be broad and all-encompassing to ensure that a full range of beliefs are incorporated within the four parties. For example, there is a party that is economically conservative but socially undefined, and in contrast there is another that is socially conservative but economically undefined. I am proposing a party that supports four specific principles. Not everybody will agree with those principles, but if there are enough nations who do, I would like to have the opportunity to form a formally-recognized party for those nations.

The four principles are: (1) Limited government and a focus on individual rights; (2) fiscal responsibility of government, a prosperous private sector, and a free market economy; (3) conservative social values; and (4) A nation's right to foster a safer, more stable world in which to live via a strong military.

Thanks for your consideration.

Interesting principles - I'd be willing to join if that is the case. What would you call this party?

I will join this party.

I propose calling it the Lonestar Party, but perhaps the new membership could vote on a name.

I like the name, but CI may have a few ideas.

The Lonestar Party, eh? I like it.

Given the principles, though, it certainly wouldn't be a stretch to call it the Common Sense Party. (Liberals probably wouldn't think so, though.)

Anyway, I'm writing an issue for the first time. Wish me luck. (Also, my arms manufacturing is relatively pathetic.)

Good luck with writing the issue, CI. And should we attract sufficient membership, let the Lonestar Party be informally known as the "Party of Common Sense" (thanks to CI!), with the motto "Hegemony, Morality, Liberty" (thanks to the Republic of the Lone Star!).

To have a chance, we will need a few more members. But I believe we can do good things for the region.

I tried writing an issue once. Apparently it never got in.

Oh well.

Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
