Region: Libertatem
^^
Military RPs are cool, I do maps for that myself though probably would be better if I bring another puppet here for that...
God has nothing to do with politics. Religion has nothing to do with politics. Religion is the root of wars between nations. The only code or method by which to approach politics through is ethics.
Also, 16 trillion in debt isn't bad? Debt is never irrelevant.
Also I'm not a dictator. I promise. I kind of abolished democracy because it is the rule of the mob but NS doesn't provide a very "positive" alternative to the rule of the mob...so they classified me as "benevolent dictatorship".
*facepalm*

@Snabagag
God and religion have to do with individual philosophy and view of the world and society, which is the root of politics (libertarian philosophy or whatever is the individual's preference). But God did not create politics. Man did. And we need to give up politics. Anti-politics. Vote for Nobody.
And the root of wars between nations, which are nothing more than fake lines on a map that gangs....governments.....states.....claim authority and ownership of and are therefore false idols in the eyes of any real Christian, are governments. Wars exist because two governments disagree and want to further their individual military-industrial complexes. After WW2, countries learned that wars could make lots of money. That is how the military-industrial complex was born. Nazi Germany was really open about it with true and honest corporatist economics, but America (the democratic socialist haven) and the Allies did it shadily to pull the wool over public eyes and make them think war was necessary to further the economy without actually being that blunt about it.
Nowadays, that interventionist-imperialist way of thinking is becoming more obvious, and starting to fail. Therefore, government has invented a target and scapegoat: terrorists. Islamic or not, thats always the answer.
So, War is caused by to competing regional monopolies on the initiation of force and violence and wish to simply be the "top dog" or run "the hood", similar to any band of thugs you can find in the bad side of town. They even have colors and banners, like the bloods and crips.
@Liberosia
Then why endorse government in the first place? The whole existence is intentionally a social and moral exception for state coercion of one form or another, whether it affects you or not.
I meant in the context of theocracy. The Bible expressly tells us Christians to respect authority and pay taxes, which makes me a minarchist. Perhaps anarchism could work after everything was privatized.
"Render unto Caesar"? That tells us to pay our taxes?
So, my labors and services belong to the government? No. I don't think so. I will not pay taxes, sorry.
Render unto Caesar what is his: nothing.
Not that, Paul explains it in Romans.

Hi!
Greetings, Candy. What brings you to our neck of the woods?
Anyone there?
I am here. And I was searching regions and I found yours. So what exactly is nationstates?
It's a government simulation game where you basically get to make your own nation and do what you want with it. That gets boring after a while, though, but there's more fun to be had in raiding other regions and roleplaying! ^_^
Raiding?
Post self-deleted by The Nation Of Candy.
It's basically moving into a region, getting other plays to endorse you through the World Assembly, become WA Delegate then kicking everyone out and refounding it so it's under your control. It's a lot harder than it looks, and a proper raid takes time.
It is :D I couldn't help but notice your nation category is Democratic Socialists. What is your real-life ideology, may I ask?
We take over another region? That sounds like fun! :D
I don't know
You don't know? How old are you, may I ask?
15
Don'tcha have any opinions on politics? What are your thoughts on capitalism and free markets?
Well I am not one of those really political people. Capitalism is good and free markets are great.
I'm surprised about that seeing that you're playing this game x) But if you're a fan of capitalism, then you'll fit in well in Libertatem! :)
OK. Ya, I am kinda surprised I am playing this game too. But I was just surfing the web and found it. So I decided to sign-up a nation.
Then welcome to the region. Want to help me with a raid I got goin'? :)
Sure.
Great :D First of all, click on World Assembly on the sidebar, then click apply to join. You should get an email from NationStates which ya gotta confirm.
Oh wait.... My email is broken. I don't know how but my dad says he is fixing it so I can't get messages through it.
And should I sign up on the forum?
Got 2 go. Going to have lunch.
Don't worry about it then. Have a good lunch :P
People of Libertatem!
I've drafted a very exciting piece of legislation. Under my factbooks, check out the Resisting Expanisionistic Authoritarianism through Guerrilla Activities and Nonconformism Treaty. The REAGAN Treaty mandates the creation of the REAGAN Treaty Organisation, an offensive and defensive alliance dedicated to the War on Communism. Through trans-regional cooperation, we can work with other regions like the New British Empire and the Federation of Free States to help each other with invasions, sleeper raids, defensive missions and other operations. I realise that this could make REATO open to infiltration, which is why sharing details is optional. Nevertheless, it would make a great communications channel and a central gathering point for raids to be planned.
I am looking for five initial signatory regions to sign the REAGAN Treaty and become permanent members on the REATO Security Council. Until then, I'd like to hear some feedback on the Treaty so I can make improvements.
Hmmmm nice name and idea.
Read the Treaty itself? I want to create some legislation that actually passes this time :P
I read it and it looks fine.
I just read thaaat
And it loo-ooks so good
What the heck, CI...
:3
I'm back
After 172 days what happened with the war with the Federal islands?
...Wow. It's been that long.
As you can see, Soplestan, we won the war with the Federal Islands, went on to capture the Greater German Reich, and eliminated the NationStates zombie infestation, all with only 3 WA nations.
...Either that or we pursued diplomatic solutions.
Yeah, we're kind of a big deal.... We own many leather bound books and our region smells of rich mahogany.

I was here during the war
I was here when everything was lost
I was here in our darkest hour
The least YOU could do is reinstate my former powers
Recruiting is so hard... I've probably sent recruiting TGs to about 300 nations, and only one nation has ever come. -.-
If any of you want to buy telegram stamps it would be really helpful if you could use them to recruit for the region.
I couldn't agree more with NST.
We have government officials that are plenty more competent - and active - than you are. And if you think you can leave us like that again, you're Hopeless-Stan.

I made this chat channel for us to use: http://us11.chatzy.com/84081373772932
Just been to troll some Nazis.
Tell me how long have you been here?
About two months, methinks.
Post self-deleted by Soplestan.
And tell me Minarchistic Reaganists. Where you here during the war? Tell me if you know what happened, one of us converted to the fed islands tried to recruit me, I left because I to tell you the truth avoid all of these politics. I had done my part in a war that soon would not end. And sir, to call me incompetent without knowing who I am is very idiotic on your part.
And when your country most people die of heart desease and cancer maybe you should worry on your own country, before you begin to write on his board think about this for a water
Soplestan, I don't really know who you are, but coming back out of nowhere and demanding to become a Board Member is not a good way to earn the respect of the founder. If you made some significant contributions to the region, then good for you. But Liberosia is very good at picking out good people, and you've just come here out of the blue, not as much as greeting any of us, boasted about your 'achievements' and rambled about how unfair it is that you're no longer in a position of importance, disregarding the fact that you've been inactive for a very long time. Frankly, Soplestan, I find this pretty rude, and a little suspicious.
And I find it pretty idiotic of you to be mentioning RP concerns in comparison to what CI is saying on the RMB. He can do whatever he damn well likes.
You do know I have had past dealings with your founder, I also was on the board, listen I don't mean to be rude, if that is what you think I am, I just don't want to be weak like a was in the past, I almost, almost made I de scion I would regret. You have to understand, soplestan is tired of being pushed over, and I did not come here out of the blue sir, I was never here to be even considered for reelection I agree it has been over six months since I have been active. although your hostility seems unreasonable. I'm "suspicious" you have no idea the lengthsi went to to make sure libertatem was a good place, and aside from RP, I spent much time on this region, and for someone who has been here two months you may not know what has happened in the past.
Though i afraid I was a giant Hippocrate for saying i was not here for reelection, I apoligize
You folks need to tell your guy Soplestan to quit with his idiotic threats I just received this telegram from him as follows:
The Free vengeful states of Soplestan
2 minutes ago
You abandoned us, you left libertatem, now are you man enough to finish the war that never ended
You're right, I don't know about the full history of this great region, but I do know that coming here in such an audacious manner, demanding a seat on the Board which you think you deserve and insulting one of the most respected members of our region is not a good way to big yourself up.
Post self-deleted by Pevvania.
Soplestan, we've been on good terms with The Federal Islands for months now, and your position has been filled for a very long time. Give it up.
Back when Conservative Idealism was a United States and waved a 51-starred-and-spangled banner, we were in a "cold war" with The Federal Islands, nothing more. There were no hot hostilities, there were many peace talks, and no small number of idiots who tried to make tensions higher.
Then maybe it is time to give it up
I know I had no reason to barge in and break the peace, just wish people would remember what I did before than my selfish tactics now. I really do hope to get to know some of the new members of liberatem
I was just angry to the friend I once had was nothing more than a no good dirty traitor. I did not want the war, all I knew was. That the cnoaisa left the region, guess you could say in a way passions flared, perhaps I was blinded by my anger at having new people join.
So for all the trouble I caused Soplestan formally apologies
Now good night I leave this discussion closed
Ever heard of Noam Chomsky?
What's done is done, I say. Everyone's better off at peace
Anyone there?
Yes I have heard of Noam chomsky
Noam Chomsky can make adequate points but never good solutions.

Un-related to Libertatem, just a personal RP.
So you say I don't have good solutions?
YES!!! Another Fallout RP!

Minarchist Party-CLP Merger
As of now, the Christian Libertarian Party and the Minarchist Party have merged to become the Reaganist Libertarian Party under the co-leadership of Conservative Idealism and myself. I will assume that all members of the MP are now members of the RLP. If not, let me know.
ATTENTION TO ALL MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANCHORMAN 2 IS COMING OUT IN THEATRES SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really dislike the issues system on NationStates. For example, if you get one on economics, there are always stupidly polarising choices, usually either 'treat the poor nicely and cripple the economy' or 'feed the big fat cats and have a better economy'. -.-
Merger complete. Pevvania and I will continue to work to determine the party's direction.
CI, I'm waitin' for ya on the Secret Chatzy. ;)
Primary members of the party will be denoted as (RLP).
Liberosia, please modify the party tags of myself and the first three Board members to reflect this change.
Also, Bavaria, is DRP your primary party?
Hm, I'm not sure if I want to be RLP...I don't agree with it in an area that I don't view lightly.
Anyone interested in an unofficial region map? I could start one up if you guys want one.
That's a good idea, actually. But I don't really know much about this region RP-wise.
My nation is very, very isolated. And islands.
I'm an anarchist that will barter and trade with just about anything, but not fancy pieces of paper.
Well, pieces of paper if they are accepted by market. But it is your preference. I wouldn't either. I'd use BitCoin, Gold, Silver and plain barter.
I would use paper if it was backed by a bundle of commodities or a precious metal. It's a decent method of exchange. Electronic money; same.
Fiat Currency. It can be "backed in gold", but government controls it still. I don't trust them.
Hayek had a great plan. Currency made by private banks.
