Region: Libertatem
Is this proof that Condealism is mentally unstable? Hmmmmm.
Some good news for freedom in Vermont: http://benswann.com/vermont-abandons-single-payer-health-care-plan/
As if that were ever in doubt :P
When will we decide the new Internal Affairs Officer
Ask Mien.
Mien, put this in the music bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD5Oj88C0hQ
Manager*
That office serves at the discretion of the President, so it is entirely up to Mien.
Yay!
Thank god the Free Staters didn't choose Vermont. That place is lost, and Vermonters can fvck off to Canada if they desire.
Please don't sink to the level of the NK/DK types by creating conspiracy theories about TCB :P Our embassies are closing and our military cooperation is ended; your Presidential election doesn't really concern us anymore. As long as "War on Communism" doesn't translate to "War on TCB or its allies," we're going for a Live and Let Live policy towards y'all.
I didn't say it was you. I doubt that you have anything to do with it. I'm more in the park on NK/DK.
Oh, well I just can't think of a single person on either side of the right/left divide that would consider Libertatem and NK "friends," even in the loosest and most abstract sense of the word :P
That's because it's sarcasm.

7-0-6
I'm the swing vote ^^
I'm an Idealist, okay?
Which voters are citizens per candidate? Isn't Sherm a citizen?
7 votes to 7.
Equality.
Double check
#RLPdivision
Many of the participants are newly eligible for Citizenship, but without Muh to process their requests...
Ridiculous... Considering he's a Presidential candidate, this constitutes a huge conflict of interest along with potential voter suppression.
I'll process them...
I find this disturbing that people are unable to have legal votes since there citizenship is still awaiting proccess via the manager of Internal Affairs. The president should have addressed this issue, but I feel that would have effected his chance at reelection.
If this boils down to a tie, it is the constitutional duty of the Founder to choose the victor. However, he can do this by whatever means he chooses, so this may result in a run-off.
This. ^
I call on the President to do the right thing and ensure that all eligible votes under the Constitution be counted.
I don't really think this is an issue... hasn't Mien already validated Sherm's application? Who else has applied?
I know there are a few on there
I don't remember, but if he did he's actually losing the election.
Coumba applied too, and Harper Plantation if my memories are good.
During my tenure as IA Manager, I always kept all applications on hold during elections. Since there's suddenly an influx of people applying during the election, I'm going to say that they become official afterwards besides Sherm, and I don't think Actum's got the whole ten days yet anyways, since I reset the counter after someone ceases to be.
Not like that's really an issue anymore, since nobody decided it'd be a good idea to come directly to me, and you guys are only really making this a big problem an hour before the polls close.
That said, I do believe I lose.
And nobody told me about any of the people who apply?
"Let's blame Mien for not appointing a new IA manager, but also not tell him about anyone who tries to become a citizen".
You guys.
A crazy number of puppets who haven't been here long have pitched in to vote, for all candidates... bizarre.
Sorry about that - we assumed you'd know to do something, what with Muh being inactive.
Even Muh :0
Well, I've learned about that yesterday, I thought they had already contacted somebody else with responsibilities...
What about Shermaniya ?
It's quite crushing, because if we had Muh's vote, the candidates would be tied...
I confirmed Sherm on the RMB earlier, which I do believe means CI wins 8-some number that I can't be bothered counting that's your job.
I do apoalgize. That was not meant to be harsh if it's sounded so.
8 to 7.
Post self-deleted by Pevvania.
I do agree with that
This. I'm surprised no one has cited the FRAUD Act and brought the voter fraud to the AG's attention.
Anyway, the poll is closed. Yr, can you confirm the final result?
The election is over.
As overseer, and considering the result of 8 to 6 votes in favor of Conservative Idealism, I declare him winner of this presidential election.
Turnout: 51,8%
Congratulations to both candidates for their great campaigns.
Pardon my asterisks, but holy ****! I actually won. :0
I'll transfer WA status to this nation now.
Congratulations, CI.
Thus marks the end of my political career here. It's been fun, this election was fun, and it's a shame I didn't get the opportunity to be voted in just once.
Once CI's Presidency is made official, I will retire to the map and relative quietness.
That said, we still need to do the Board elections, so we're going to need a list of everyone who volunteered for that.
Everyone can go endorse CI now, I suppose.
Sorry, I meant 9 to 6 votes in favor of Conservative Idealism.
Final turnout : 55,5%
Miencraft/Humpheria : 40%
Conservative Idealism/Northern Prussia : 60%
I'm just glad I don't have to be in the WA anymore.
Yay me.
Thank you, President Miencraft. But are you sure you want to retire? If so, who am I going to give the Manager of Internal Affairs position to?
Rest In Peace Libertatem.
8/6/12-12/18/14
If I didn't know better, I'd think you just don't want to give me my pension.
That said, I'd be up for doing that for a term. Then you're finding someone else.
Shermaniya and Kanatistan both applied.
However, as a professional politician, I do have to give credit to CI for using the unpopularity if the War as a means to power that was very well played.
Stay in business, we luv u despite our vote <3
Fair enough.
That was a rhetorical question. (Though I think that either of them would do quite well in the position as well.)
Your approval fills me with shame.
I'll still be around, but my original plan was to stay as Humpy's VP for a term or two, retire, come back a few months later, run for President, and take that as far as I could.
Since I couldn't take that break in between VP and President, I'm now done with everything I wanted to do as far as getting positions goes. Maybe later I'll come back, though...
So, this question would have no effect on the results, but as AG and the person that wrote literally all of the laws involving elections, did we just randomly decide that like six random people were suddenly citizens?
I used authority that apparently I have to make Sherm a citizen, but that's about it.
I say "apparently" because Pev approved Roads' application for citizenship way back when, and since Roads was currently gone and he's an extension of me then there you go.
I would like to announce my Cabinet.
*points to a new piece of furniture*
And I would also like to announce who I would like the other Executives to be.
The Vice President shall be Northern Prussia.
The Manager of Internal Affairs shall be Miencraft.
The Manager of State shall be Funkytopia.
The Manager of Military Affairs shall be Republic Of Minerva.
Finally, the Attorney General shall be Humpheria.
I encourage those I have not appointed to the Cabinet to run for Board. Any questions?
Nope, we gave the citizenship to Actum by asking the board for a vote, considering his past in the region ( if you remember I abstained ).
Then, Kanatistant showed us the message he got back from Muh, confirming that his citizenship will begin on the 14th of december.
Finally, Miencraft told us himself few minutes ago that he gave Shermaniya the citizenship.
And because of that, I somehow won 9 to 6. I must say, I really wasn't expecting that.
Congrats to the new president!
As I've said before, I appreciate what Humph and Mein have done for Libertatem. However, many loyal citizens have decided it is time for a change, including those who've been here for many months.
I look forward to working with the new administration and intend to run for a Board seat next election.
You still would have won 7 to 6.
Thanks CI. I'd be glad to serve as State Manager through the upcoming elections and longer, if I lose once again. ;-)
Mien, don't resign the way. He doesn't take office until the first.
Would you prefer Military Affairs? Minerva recommended you for it.
Did I English well ?
Eh, I forgot that. Should of thought of that before sending a telegram to tell people to endorse Condealism.
ya
I'd prefer to stick with the State Department, since I have more experience there. I think Libertatem would be in more capable hands with Minerva running the military.
Also, I'd like to see if any damage control can be done with TCB.
Whatever - as long as Liberosia doesn't make the Delegacy executive and no one tells me the password until the first, it's fine.
[quote=funkytopia;9072401]As I've said before, I appreciate what Humph and Mein have done for Libertatem/quote]
We're not dead, man. There's always April.
It doesn't matter; nobody can do anything with the WAD position anyways. And I like the interim quietness.
Good, then we're on the same page.
Minerva, I trust you to keep our military organized without getting your trigger finger itchy. Can I count on you?
Humph, you're interested in retaining the AG position, right?

We're not dead, man. There's always April.[/quote]
I like this state of mind.
Don't be usurping now. You wouldn't understand, but as an outgoing president the last days in office are the most precious.
Yeah, jumped the gun a bit.
Congratulations [nation=Conservative Idealism] for winning the election. I hope you and the new cabinet are successful in your goals and plans for Libertatem.
Shoot, you're right.
Mien, get back in the WA! Your region needs you!
But gun-jumping is fun!

Humpy is dead... Long live the Humpy! :)
Yeah cause that has never happened before, ever.
Fiiiiiiine
Can someone explain to me how the board works?
But I have to be home from the WA in time for Christmas!
Really, though, I think having no delegate for a while might be a nice interim. Throw in a bit of anarchy (except not really) as my going-away gift.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaait a second! Mien, get back in the WA. Your term does not end until January the 1st!!!!
According to the Constitution and its amendments, if Mien resigns then technically Muh becomes President until January. Let's stick to protocol.
Fiiiiine, mom.
It's like a Senate - people elect you to one of the five Seats, and each term lasts a month. Then, once a new Board term begins, the five Board members decide among themselves who will be the Board's Chairman.
Except people still endorse one another. :P
Haha, wow - did not notice that XD
We can have just up
Who's trigger happy? Not me.
alright you guys, re-endorse Miencraft so we don't have to suffer the effects of tag raids.
Congratulations, Condealism. I think Mien has done a fantastic job in the short time that he's had, and really wanted him to win a full term. But I'm also very optimistic about the future. You've been with us since the beginning and have shown fantastic leadership qualities. I will remain an RLP man, but look forward to working with you nonetheless.
You can't leave, Mien! You've been a staple of this region since the beginning.
Huh? The War is as popular as ever.
Not all of them! :P
WHAT??? HOW COULD YOU NOT REAPPOINT ME?! THIS IS A DISGRACE, I TELL YOU, A DISGRACE! Goodbye, leaving the region forever.
Joking. This'll be a nice break for me. I have absolute confidence in Minerva's abilities, he's virtually been the deputy manager for a while and has shown a ruthless pragmatism that I not only respect but consider crucial to the role. Congratulations.
Also, who's going to fill the role of RSA? ;)
Meh. Not much we can do. It was nice working with them, but they clearly have a different mindset to us.
Fun fact: Condealism will be the first non-RLP President since 2013. By the time he takes the seat, we will have controlled the office for 14 months. Not a bad record after a year of the Libertarian Party in charge.
Thanks, Pev.
The War has not changed in popularity all that much, but it appears to me that it wasn't as popular as some of us made it out to be. Perhaps it's time to stop paying lip service to it and start focusing on more practical military concerns - including defeating our present opponents, and not picking fights with random communists.
I assumed as much, though I assume Minerva will incorporate you into the military hierarchy nonetheless.
Most impressive.
Or we could just keep the WA Delegate position non-executive.
Not leaving, just not being a politician anymore.
Maybe if CI screws up or something I'll jump in in April, but for now I just want to lay low and just process applications.
In the fairly likely event I do screw up, you'll have to wait in a pretty long line for that.
Also, guys, you were supposed to announce yourself for the Board before this stuff started, but I guess nobody thought that was a good idea, so now we've got to hurry up and get everything done:
Who is running for Board?
