Region: Libertatem
Government officials who committed war crimes and other atrocities can of course be brought to justice by the government that succeeds it. Deposed rulers and their henchmen often flee to escape the new regime that will call them to account for their crimes.
No, Muh Roads is a citizen in the Second Republic according to Miencraft's citizenship register:

Now there's a quote for the recruitment telegram.
But it turns out Libertatem is like most other places--it's not open season to rob, rape, and pillage foreign tourists and immigrants if they don't have their citizenship papers handy.
Article VI, Section I of the Constitution says: "All nations will have an indisputable right to self-expression, of privacy, to practice religion, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Citizens are "entitled to representation in judicial proceedings" but I would waive that anyway in order to save the taxpayers money.
Are you still on about that?
Actually, I kind of like that.
My guess, and this is only a guess, is that you want to be either a lawyer or a community activist when grow up. Am I right?

Greetings, Great Chief Miencraft and High Senators and All Nations, may your Region prosper and be blessed.
I am sorry to interrupt your discussions but there is an urgent matter at hand for my people. For many generations we have lived on your map in peace with nature, quietly living our lives on the empty plains. We make fair trade with nations of Libertatem in the past in harmony and good will.
But now we find the ground is painted purple. Lakes fill with purple rain. My son, Purple Buffalo, has only eggplant and grapes to eat. Why is it all purple now? Our wise men know not.
Songs of legend tell of One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater. Perhaps we have offended this great creature.
You may contact the Attorney General, [nation=short]New_Jaslandia[/nation] so that he may petition for a trial hearing and he can plead your case there. I will no longer debate the merits of the argument As I will be convinced only by the evidence presented in said hearing. Until that time, as the court is the only place with the power to give your argument merit, I suggest you prepare rather than arguing in public.
Also, since the Judicial Amendment has passes the Senate, pursuant to the Constitution, I'll set up the three day poll before the election.
I mean technically it's already a thing, since I'll provide my own support for it if I get to clean it up when it gets posted to the Second Republic nation.
Yeah, that's easy to do. Just get the one eyed flying purple people eater good and drunk and then jam with him for a while. This too shall pass.

Condealism (Futilely Running) for President 2016
People of Libertatem, while we wait for elections, I would like to take a moment to talk about my campaign. I can't promise regional growth, prosperity, or even security if I were to become President. In fact, I can't promise much of anything at all.
But what I can promise is that of all of the candidates in this election, I have by far the best radio station: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=conservative_idealism/detail=factbook/id=374149
That is all. Vote for (someone other than) Condealism!
I am honored to have received the appointment of Interim President [nation=short]Miencraft[/nation] for Regional Justice. I look forward to serving the region.
My office is now looking for a Solicitor General. This individual will be one of two lawyers in Libertatem. It will be very challenging but comes with many benefits (which due to copyright laws I currently cannot tell you). Interested parties should send me an in-game resume and a short blurb about why you would like to serve. This person can have any other position in government except Attorney General or Regional Justice. We will likely have judicial proceedings as early as tonight so its important to get someone! Sign up today!
Nova Condealism
In other words, I have updated the forums (libertatem.freeforums.net) with the new government structure. If you are apart of the government, make an office! If you haven't make an account!
I just realized the Pev was gone...
I'm filled with great sadness. The death of a president is always terrible. Rest in peace, Pev, friend.

We express condolences for the death of your former president. It he was devoured by the same Purple People Eater which has saturated our land with the Purple then we have a common enemy. But those claiming to have seen this beast have all had drunk many glasses of purple wine.
We had dispatched scouts in different directions to ride as far as they can, to see if there is an end to the Purple. One came back to us yesterday, bringing bananas and yellow squash which we have not seen for a long time. Our scout says the trader he met was from Salton Juncture where "citizens walk down dirt roads with a crack pipe in one hand, a bible in the other, and an M4 assault rifle strapped over the shoulder".
Our ruling council offers the president of the Salton Juncture gifts of our best lavender soap and our finest wine in the hope that we could open a dialogue. Also we give a dozen purple peace pipes to your people which are very study and have no cracks.
I freaking love purple.

Is there anyone still here who telegrammed a citizenship application to Muh Roads or Miencraft and was denied or got no response?
If so, please send me a telegram.

Vote Mien because I did a thing that one time, and then some good stuff happened.
Rateria, Libertitad, Nova Condealism
I too also used to love purple, before the land and the water and the trees and the buffalo all turned purple. We have learned who else loves purple: Coumba. And the Salton Juncture is yellow while Bastians is green with envy.
We are the people of the plains and have been for many generations, sharing the map with Libertatem Nations. Maybe you did not know we were here. We do blend in. But we have been here a long time, since when the Great Spirit made the plains.
We ask Coumba to please take some of his purple away so we may enjoy the plains as we once did.

How about some Deep Purple...

I fully support and endorse the lawsuit against Muh Roads! Take me to court! I must teach my self a lesson! I must do my job according to others standards or its the privvy for me!
Rateria, Nova Condealism
To those of you who are unaware, I was a president here once, a rather good president I'd say. I noticed a few new names, I'm Muh Roads, no longer really part of Libertatem but I've spent years here. Please don't let Bad Libertopia's authoritarian ways, negative viewpoints, and whining give you the wrong idea. Thannnk you!

The Great One has spoken. Hail Roads!

And if all goes well with the case, you'll be back in government-supplied housing once again with taxpayer-financed security. See you in court.

Nova Condealism
I mean, your counsel is supposed to be over there having the hearing. You should tell him to get on that, because until that happens, there is no case.
Nova Condealism
Also, who's running in the off-seasons? Just CI and myself?
Nova Condealism
Minerva too.
Right.
Last chance to announce candidacy.
Sue happy statists, 1 thing doesn't go their way and they are super cereal offended guyysss. I hope you find your safe space :D #passiveaggressive
Miencraft, Rateria, Nova Condealism
Did you just assume my ideology
[I]I'll assume something *creepysmile*
I was actually going to go start the elections now.
But then I remembered that I can't. Humpy has to because the new amendment says the RJ is the one to do elections.
Well, I probably can, who really cares, but still. I respect him and his amendment too much.
Rateria, Nova Condealism
Per the passage of the Judicial Amendment, Regional Justice executes elections.
The current candidates:
Miencraft (No Party Affiliation)
Nova Condealism (No Party Affiliation)
Republic of Minerva (No Party Affiliation)
I will start the election at 12:30 PM EST (about 20 minutes). Announce now or wait for four months.
Nova Condealism
Like we still even have parties.
That said, I'm going to start the Cult of Roads political party.
That will be my affiliation forever. Nobody can tell me otherwise.
Rateria
If this is a ploy to get me to rejoin Libertatem.... it's working.
Rateria, Nova Condealism
That was not my intent.
But I'm glad it's working anyways.
Rateria, Nova Condealism
Come back, Muh. I will write a damn amendment establishing a state religion, I swear to Roads.
Rateria, Nova Condealism
Where's the old ROADS amendment...?
The only political parties I want to see in Libertatem are the kind that get our residents black-out drunk.

Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
You should start one. It'll last forever. I'll bring the booze out from under the floorboards in the Presidential Office.
Rateria, Libertitad, Nova Condealism
Justice Humpheria has granted a hearing, so there definitely is a case:
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=bad_libertopia/detail=factbook/id=659798
That's Road's party. He was drunk with power and woke up with a hangover.
Nova Condealism
Yes.
And someone has to actually go to the hearing.
Go make sure your counsel knows what to do and tell him to get on it, or you're never going to court, because the hearing never happened.
Nova Condealism
So, the RLP is dissolved, along with all of the other parties?
Effectively, I guess.
Nobody really cares about the parties anymore, so they might as well be dead.
We might very well still have an RLP, but the entire party system is kind of obsolete.
Nova Condealism
Congrats Brits on a new PM
This race is really picking up...
Stop I'm young and impressionable
Rateria, Nova Condealism
The IRU? Really? At least go to a serious region if you aren't going to be here.
Pshshshshsh
Off to The International then? Lol jk.
Just reviewed the old laws. There was no requirement for me to approve applications even if they met criteria. Shame on you for approving the lawsuit sir! ;)
Nova Condealism
I didn't say you were guilty. I said that he could say what he needs to say and then I will decide if you're guilty or innocent.
He's under a pretense that politicians should be held accountable for their actions. #MuhClinton

Your the judge oh no, set me freeeeeeee-eeeeee!
Congratulations, you've just said the secret opt-in phrase for our dank meme subscription service
Miencraft, Rateria
I was hoping you would see that.
Rateria
I've determined that the process of making a petition to have a hearing to have a trial is inefficient and overly bureaucratic so we will only have a petition to trial system.
Thus, Bad Libertopia v. Muh Roads will go to trial. [nation=short]Jaslandia[/nation] needs to let me know of a loose timeframe in which he will be available.
In other news: WE NEED A SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR THIS TRIAL SO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO REPRESENT MUH ROADS SHOULD LET ME KNOW
[nation=short]Hyderbourg[/nation] TG'd me about the SG position, but because I have no control over that I directed him to you.
I guess he either hasn't been on or just totally ignored my response.
Are you candidates going to say anything about your platforms? Please...
Rateria
The church of Muh Roads supports miencraft.
I got you covered.
Libertitad
Also, if anyone cares about the WA at all, the natives of the target region of the proposed Liberation have expressed their desire to not be liberated.
There you go Humpy. Can we be married again?
If you don't vote for me, as military general I shall be giving you 200 push ups each!
Can I get those on ice?
Fine
Muh Roads
My platform is "vote for somebody else".
Miencraft, Muh Roads, Rateria
Knocked off the political parties link, since we don't really have any (and also the list was on Pev's nation).
If enough people start some up again and we start needing a list of them, we can put it back. For now, we can trim down how much stuff is on the WFE.
Why should I, parasite?
Now drop on the floor and give me twenty.
Rateria
Oh my god I have map requests from three weeks ago.
I'll get on those.
But not right now. Soooooooon.
Nova Condealism
Careful, Bad Libertopia might take you to court :D
Miencraft, Rateria, Nova Condealism
Welcome to Libertatem, sir!
Anybody wanna represent Mr. Roads? Seriously, like, anyone? Roads?
You want to get him a lawyer, possibly a very good one, but you're not coming up with the right questions.
What you should be asking is: "Who will bill the Roads?"
Muh Roads, Rateria
Bad Libertopia v. Muh Roads has officially begun.
After Jas does his opening statements, Muh will need a lawyer.
You wanna be a lawyer again? You're pretty damn good at it.
I don't feel like the drum Buh dum tiss is the appropriate noise. More like trombone squeel.
Rateria, Nova Condealism
I choose to burn the court to the ground?
Rateria, Nova Condealism
Denied
Call a goat to the witness stand?
Rateria, Nova Condealism
Definitely denied
Your not giving me any options humpy!!! My time is running thin!
Nova Condealism
You wanna represent yourself if CI won't?
He's a citizen. Shouldn't he have the right to represent himself if he so chooses?
Sounds like too much typing tbh.
Ah fine. Yeah sure.
Only AG and SG can argue in court. Do you wanna be SG?
Not saying everyone should switch to miencrafts pretitle, but everyone should switch to miencraft's pretitle.
