Region: Libertatem
Fairysnuff!
But you love france. And maybe if you went to the uk you could find pevvania and hear his voice.
*buys plane ticket and plans trip in a very noncreepy way*
The United Libertarian American Republic
But the problem is that they do impose their views on others. The Bolsheviks initiated a war of aggression against most ideological regions that don't conform. We cannot sit idly by while the boots of statism march onward to crush the spirit of free peoples everywhere. We must fight the barbarians, but also make an effort to cooperate with the more peaceful regions of the left. Our goal is not to "destroy leftism" by military force - this should be accomplished by debate and exposing the shaky foundations that ideology is built on. Our goal is to stop socialist (and fascist) imperialism in its tracks so that the regions of NationStates are safe, secure and free. And over the last year, we've gone very far to achieve this goal.
Pretending that a problem doesn't exist is not good foreign policy, and will certainly do no good for our allies.
About 1 hour early, but the answer is clear. Tge following is the results of the primary. Congratulations Vice President [nation=short]Northern Prussia[/nation]!
[nation=short]Samarian Imperium[/nation], there's always next month.

Libertarianism suddenly makes sense to me!

I perfectly remember that you declared weeks ago that you wanted to fight until the end of communism in Libertatem.
And as I proved it when I was in the board, I am totally in favor of military actions in order to defend our allies.
Hello.
Welcome, friend!
So I haven't played in a while and my old region is gone. Can you explain this region and its history?
#Who'sThePeople'sAttorney?
Well, as established by our Constitution and the first two amendments thereof, the People's Attorney was a position intended to be promoted by the people. The BOARD Amendment, pre-rewrite, called for the establishment of four distinct non-Chairman Board positions, one of which would have allowed for the appointment of People's Attorney by the Delegate - now President - in the event that the people did not appoint one, and that position could be called into question by public redress.
With our Constitution and legal record having long since been updated to remove some - but not all - extraneous government positions and mentions of the Libertatem Empire, only a shadow of the People's Attorney position remains. According to legal precedent, such a position would best be determined by a House-only election, as that is our region's closest equivalent to the people minus overt government influence.
If we want to bring that back, and give the Attorney-General a co-worker and/or rival in judicial decisions, people should probably start announcing their candidacy for it.
I think that an election would be good. It is the People's Attorney, after all. We can fit it in with the Board elections tomorrow.
Works for me. Who wants to be the people's representative in court?
I would like to nominate Yrellian Confederacy.
I just realized how different this game is!
The Reaganist Libertarian Party congratulates Chairman Pevvania on his re-election and respectfully awaits the Party for Resistance and Reform's concession.
[Paid for and approved by the RLP Central Committee]
Well, I congratulate Pevv for his victory. I didn't expect to win the seat over him, and I guess that 25% against the greatest figure of Libertatem is still an acceptable score.
However, I deplore that many newcomers, who created their nations only weeks ago, have already joined the RLP and voted for the RLP candidate without knowing anything, or so few, about our both histories, programs and ideas.
I really hope that they joined the RLP with enough knowledge of the region's history and debates to have their own opinions.
I also encourage them to participate more in the RMB and political life, in order to be able to collect this knowledge.
What of running for People's Attorney?
I know that in my case I have be following Libertatem's exploits since last summer and have a half decent command of our history here.
I did look around the various other party's, however I found it difficult to do so, even for the RLP. I must admit that some aspects of RLP don't appeal to me but, I find that in general, the RLP best represents my view and is the strongest political force within the region.
I would like to announce that I will be running for people's attorney.
Meh I don't know, law is not really my thing.
You don't really need it for People's Attorney. It's a trial attorney spot. Defending people that I charge with crimes.
Indeed - the next generation of Libertatem citizens should be comprised of leaders, not of followers. Involvement in our political process is paramount to understanding the laws and customs of this region.
Anyway, shall we get Seat Three elections underway?
Shyup.
Ankha (RLP) v. Actum (PRR)
Note: If no one challenges Samarian Imperium and Ankha defeats Actum, the RLP will have complete control of the Legislative and Judicial branches.
Wow, and I thought Obama was having it rough!
There goes President Idealism's plan to end the war on communism. :(
I've been called a lot of things ever since I won the election, but I think that the implied comparison to Obama is probably the most insulting thing I've heard yet. Lol :P
Luckily, I have a Plan B: Winning.
Haha lol. Who knew such a flippant remark would.... Wait, it was Obama.... Fair enough ;)
You mean Plan A.
Winning what? A Board seat where your candidate is an inactive notorious absentee Board member. Or maybe the People's Attorney race in which you have no candidate? Or perhaps a constitutional vote that you expect to pass a Board that could have 5/5 RLP members and at least 4/5?
Or maybe consulting your Vice President who just won a seat in the legislature with your opposition party?
Plan A was accepting the unconditional surrender of the entire Red Fleet, with the promise that they would never again threaten a freedom-loving region, and letting them keep their sovereignty for what little it's worth.
Apparently they would not be willing to accept these terms, nor would the RLP be willing to offer these terms.
Plan B is forgoing mercy and pummeling them into the ground until nothing remains.
Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
Just want to point out that as one of the most senior RLP officials, I have never heard of or been approached about such a proposal.
I see these both as essentially the same thing, since we'd need to beat unconditional surrender into them, but OK.
Been cast in Ghost: The Musical as Carl. Not too shabby.
Anyway, what's been going on?
Ya won.
A board of 4 RLP's was already bad, a full RLP board will be a nightmare. I guess I don't have the choice, I must run for People's Attorney.
I kinda want you to get it. Our first trial would be fun. If it's just the Prosecutor and Defense agreeing with each other, that's no fun.
Thanks for the support ;). I know what you mean though.
Keep the momentum moving! Vote for the veteran Board member Ankha today! The RLP is dedicated, as you've seen, to the success and well-being of this region and her citizens. Do your part and continue this proud tradition.

When I talked about newcomers, no offense but I meant guys like The Wabash who have been playing since 2 months and only connect once every 8 days...
I bet he doesn't even know Ankha or Actum... Doesn't matter, still vote...
But after all this is democracy, and despite all its drawbacks, this is still the better political system.
*nods head in agreement*
Sorry? I've been pretty busy with reality for the past week or so, but I'm still a citizen... and I'm more than capable of reading up on the candidates.
This sounds like the venting of a sore loser to me.
Shots fired.
Get down, Mr. President!
This may be interesting but it is not worth a pointless little fight. The Wabash, just back down.
Hang on, I'm still trying to decide which witty retort I want to follow that up with.
Not trying to start any fight. Just defending myself against someone venting because I cast my vote for someone else. If anything, that just makes me more confident I voted for the right person.
Humpy told the president to get down on hump day?
Ankha is indeed a good candidate - experienced, too. If I could vote twice, I'd give both nations a vote.
Nah, something along the lines of "Humphy, I forgot to duck"
Fair enough. Just remember that arguing on the Internet is like trying to sexually pleasure yourself with a cheese grater, pointlessly painful.
I love you, Mr. President. You can't just quote Reagan at me. That's my weakness.
....
Haha :D lol.
Actum isn't even activ enough to vote for himself. Hasn't posted something in 14 days.
That reminds me, we haven't talked about sex ever since we discussed TTA's departure from NS. How unusual for us.
...Wait, then how did he seek re-election?
....... Oh sh!t.
I don't know. I have no idea how that slipped past me.
Lol
In that case, I'm voting for Ankha.
It's dark here,time for humpy after dark!
Time for Humpy f*cked up.
Good to know you only post something when somebody say your name on the RMB.
First, I didn't criticize the choice of the people who perfectly know Pevv and me, I criticized the choice of people like you who cast their votes even before our respective speeches about the war on communism, article VIII etc...
I would have liked to see you asking questions, interesting yourself on our positions, that's the kind of behavior we expect coming from a newcomer who is really interested about our political life and wants the best for our region.
Considering your response, I've learned that you obviously don't belong to this category and I thank you for clarifying the situation.
Yeah and about the sore loser part, if I didn't want to lose, I would have never challenged Pevv, who is a guy I really appreciate and who does an admirable work.
No, get rid of the up part - that's not what Humpy After Dark is about.
Ooooooh........
So, as Actum really didn't actually announce his campaign, and he's been on since announcements opened up, I'm gonna cancel this poll and put up the PA. Do I have your ok, Mr. President?
Go for it.
The People's Attorney will be a non-government official, but will be employe by the Justice Department.
Night night peoples!
Let's see how many active non-governmental nations we have
Are we counting this term's, next term's, or both terms' Board members as governmental nations?
Just current government members right now.
Well, since there's nothing I, or any other government official, can do to affect the outcome of this election, I may as well be cheering for a sports team.
...Go Seahawks!
This Super Bowl is a meeting of two completely unlovable teams.
On one hand, you have the Seahawks and their brand-new bandwagon fans who have been watching football for all of a year and a half and think that Russell Wilson is God's gift to football.
On the other hand, you have the Patriots.
Whoever wins, we lose. I just hope it's an entertaining game.
I hate both of them. The Seahawks beat Green Bay and the Pats beat the Colts. I'm cheering for the referees on Super Bowl Sunday.
Well, I have a friend who's been a Seahawk fan for life, and I just hate the Patriots.
As any respectable American should.
I will never not hate the Patriots.
If Tom Brady defeated ISIS, impeached Obama, brought Reagan back from the dead, and balanced the US Budget in one day, I would still have my daily "Hate Brady" session. I hated them before Deflategate. I hated the Patriots before it was cool to hate the Patriots.
Oh, you think the hatred is your ally, but you merely adopted the hate. I was born in it, molded by it.
Actually, forget it - I'm not rooting for the Seahawks.
I'm rooting for the commercials. I hope they win.
*mutters something about an indecisive president*
No, wait, go halftime show.
Wait, no, I hate halftime show as much as I do the Patriots.
Go rowdy fan who may or may not run onto the field during the game!
Funky, you're in the Cabinet. You can't vote.
'Dis fool.
Office of the Attorney General:
The Office of the Attorney General is reviewing posthumously pressing charges on The Time Alliance for inappropriate public conduct which would result in a ban for him and all of his puppets in Libertatem. If it is pursued, he will be tried in absentia.
Thoughts?
Wait a minute. I won?
Yup.
I...don't think that's something under our region's jurisdiction, Humphmeister. Though we probably should establish a standardized list of crimes and whatnot against the region so that we have actual reasons to put people on trial.
It is if they were said on the region's RMB. Banning him from said region would be entirely our jurisdiction.
For what, disturbance of the peace? Our region didn't even, ah, bear the brunt of his alleged misconduct - besides, he's not here to defend himself or even to contest these charges. What would the point of this trial be?
He doesnt?....I think. I dont know either actually.
Im confused...
Grrrr.
Grrrrr
But I win so its all good. :)
Hey Ankha, you won the election. By default. Because the other guy was never in the running in the first place. Congrats!
Everytime him or one of his weird little friends came here and posted, it diminishes our credibility as a region.
I know, that's what being tried in absentia means.
To ban him so that he doesn't ever make a post about being sexually subservient or being attracted equines again.
Thanks..lol.
If you insist.
Considering. Not confirming. Not charging. Considering.
We are at 1:1 on the PA election. Make your voice heard House members, this is the person that may save you if you get into trouble.
