History

I like authoritarian dictatorships, so I thought giving this region a try would be good.

Hello

Hello there. To be honest with you, I totally forgot that your region existed. But it's cool to see "an-coms" buddying up with Stalinists. Hope everything is OK in StateLand.

Converting fully to using green energy as soon as possible would be prudent in the long run.

Actually, that image was on my Civics test a while back. It's a colonial political cartoon, which used the old myth that if you join the severed remains of a snake before sundown, it would reanimate. It's saying that America was separated and stagnant under The Articles Of Confederation, and needed to unify so they wouldn't succumb to one of the world's superpowers, England, Portugal, Spain, or France.

But, The American Empire is all sore because the majority vote for the RLP, and so he's whining that it isn't fair to other parties, basically.

I'm disappointed that the Board would frivolously vote for an embassy with a region that is irrelevant to our cause and that doesn't discernibly share any interests with those of our region. It is quite obvious that there wasn't any serious thought put into the establishing of embassies with the Atheist Empire and how that would actually benefit Libertatem.

It is quite apparent to me that Hallo Island failed to provide a legitimate cause to establish embassies with the Atheist Empire, yet the Board has voted in favor of doing so.

The establishment of embassies with the Atheist Empire is valueless and does not benefit Libertatem in the least. It does, however, crowd the regional embassy-list with frivolously-selected regions and makes the job of the Department of State more difficult.

I, therefore, wish to voice my disappointment in the actions of Humpheria, Hallo and RWN, all of whom either A) failed to provide a convincing argument for the establishment of relations with the Athest Empire or B) didn't participate in the discourse at all ("I voted for it cuz muh tolerance" doesn't count as participation).

Oh, boy. I'm more and more convinced every day that you are the spitting-image of the stereotypical politician.

Yeah, I suppose politicians shouldn't have to answer to their constituents, regarding the way in which they vote. Regardless, Hallo's argument is uncompelling at best, and reeks of his trademark narcissism.

No, I wasn't in the "Board chambers," but I think it's safe to presume there wasn't much going on in there, anyway. Certainly so if you can't even answer to why you voted the way you did.

Hallo Island wrote:If we can help them get back on their feet or get their original region back, we'll look pretty great in the public eye. Happy?

We, as a community, do not have the time or resources to go state-building in an arena completely separate from that of the War on Communism. Besides, we shouldn't give a damn about "the public eye."

The only attention from the public that we'll ever need or want will only come when we redouble our efforts to the War.

Humpheria In Libertatem wrote:So, your only argument is that we did something that isn't related to the War so we're bad? Are you okay, man?

No. You seem to have forgotten every point I've made before that post. Here's a refresher, Mr. Vice President:

I oppose the construction of embassies with Atheist Empire because we share no mutual interests. Therefore, establishing embassies will only complicate the job of our Department of State and further clutter our embassy-list.

You and Hallo have contributed two arguments in favor of establishing relations with Atheist Empire: 1) we should do so in order to better represent atheists in Libertatem, and 2) we would reap the benefit of positive public-opinion, by helping Atheist Empire recover.

In turn, I argued that 1) embassies do not exist for the representation of various demographics in Libertatem; embassies are representative of regions that hold mutual interests, who will provide tangible support for us in our foreign policy objectives (i.e. the War on Communism). Atheist Empire does not qualify. And, in the last post, I argued that 2) Libertatem does not, at the time, have the resources to go on state-building operations that are irrelevant to the War on Communism, and that the best way to get the kind of attention that we need to survive is by the redoubling of efforts in the War on Communism.

Humpy, I apologize for calling you a politician. Argumentation regarding legislation should always be about convincing opponents of what is right for the region, and name-calling clearly is not conducive to persuasion or to constructive dialogue. When arguing things of importance, I may become less conservative with my choice of words, and I apologize for that happening in this instance.

Regardless of the fact that I stand by my opinions regarding constructing embassies with Atheist Empire, I hope that we may reconcile our differences, knowing that we both want what is best for Libertatem.

As a citizen of Libertatem, I'm glad to see the State Department and Board consolidating the intricacies of foreign affairs and working out this disagreement, but this difference of opinion tells us that it is necessary for us to work together for the good of the region. Teamwork and collaboration are paramount in achieving our goals, especially in times like this - I'm no longer sure we can afford to be, let alone appear, divided.

Perhaps the Board's decision was hastily made, but I'm sure we, the people of Libertatem, will find a way to make the most of it.

The world population is already decreasing. Or at least, its growth is slowing down. I hope you realise that overpopulation is a myth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZVOU5bfHrM

Nevertheless, I agree that reducing birth rates would be the result of positive economic processes. People that have lots of kids usually live in Third World countries that see children as necessary income producers for the family. As nations, and by extension people, become wealthier, the need to reproduce decreases. This is why birth rates have been falling in western nations for decades. So liberalising markets in Africa, Asia and South America would probably go a long way towards reducing population growth.
