LSPAN2: Impromptu pirate convention takes place as Senators say "aye, aye"

Shhh

It has in a FASCIST state with no DOCTRINE OF FREE WILL. That is IMPOSSIBLE to happen here. I already said this.
Today on LSPAN: Short session as weekly agenda is approved, ICTO treaty ratified.
Rateria, Condealism
The Senate has ratified the Interregional Cooperation Treaty. As such, I shall commence the signing process.
I, Chancellor of State Condealism, hereby sign the Interregional Cooperation Treaty.
Your turn, Mr. President.

Democracy flat out does not work as any kind of fair system. It is tyranny, no matter where. A republic is much closer to perfect.
Rateria, Condealism, The United States Of Patriots, Fascist Dred
A Catholic Thearcho-Republic is the perfect system
Rateria, Fascist Dred
How is a republic better? You're just doing democracy lite at that point.
People of the Libertatem.
For years now, you have suspected that I am a God, that walks among you. It is true, but it is not the whole truth.
I the future.
My superior divinity represents the future of the region. Today, I activate my nuclear weapons, ensuring that I will persevere Dredism long after memes ceased to exist. Ensuring that mankind has a meme free future.
I have no desire to interfere in the worthless and tedious details of your daily lives. I simply ask that you do not interfere with the systematic cleansing of Lweds and roadians via psychotropic radiation. To do so would result in dire consequences.
You may rest easy. Know that the future is in safe hands, that mankind will thrive under my guidance.
Hail Dred!

Maybe you should ask the framers, who realized that leaving lawmaking up to the general populace is a really bad idea and made it so that only one Federal position in the entire country is directly elected: the House of Representatives.
Full-on democracy sucks. That's why there's an electoral college. That's why Senators were chosen by state legislatures up until some crazy people decided they wanted to make them directly elected because "lol more democracy".

[spoiler=Well, you asked for it.]
Roads the mighty! Roads the unerring! Roads the unassailable! To you we give praise!
We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars!
But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Muh Roads, Asphalt-crown, born of the Street, where my breath is long pavement. I breathe now, in royalty, and pave this land which is mine. I do this for you, Libertatem, for I love you."
Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Roads cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Libertatem! The future of Nationstates!
And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Roads is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit!
The very idea is inconceivable to our Communist neighbors! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the Communists take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
And what does Max Barry do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Site Moderation machine enforces the will of the Communists! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of Nationstates! Rise up, Libertatemites! Embrace the word of mighty Roads, he who is both man and Divine!
For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Communists or their toadies, will rule Nationstates! Forever!
Terrible and powerful Roads! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment!
And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Roads, not as god, but as man!
Trust in me, Libertatem! Trust in the words of Miencraft! For I am the chosen of Roads! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!

My absence from the Senate Floor today was due to a trip I made to the cinema to see Alien: Covenant. Which, by the way, is fantastic and I give it a straight 10/10. Michael Fassbender steals the show.
Also, I support ICTO, TIME and FRAUD.

How long are the terms for the senate?
Currently, they're four months, in line with our presidential elections, but Senator Aradites' proposed amendment would shorten this to 2 months.

That sounds way better. 2 months is perfect for NS.

Indeed. The old Board in the First Republic has monthly elections, if I recall correctly, which was just way too frequent.

It is in the sh*tposter's best interest to ensure that logic and order are upheld. For in a world where logic is absent, all posting is sh*tposting. By comparison, the average sh*tpost appears to be high-quality content. To the average sh*tposter, this is the equivalent of a death sentence.

Democracy as a form of government in the Classical sense by definition is a unlawful/illegitimate deviation of Polity -- Republics/republican-ness/commonweal (English is aggravatingly lacking the needed word, but Polity: self-government and civic virtue as policy suffices). Democracy has historically been deviant rule (unruliness) by the many (Aristotle). Democracy is easily prone to incitement of mob mentality. It is relatively easy to use the distrust and malcontent of the masses to destroy other forms of despotism: tyranny (deviant rule (unruliness) by one (and his cabal) -- such as in the French Revolution; and oligarchy (deviant rule (unruliness) by the powerful few (and their cabals).
In the early Modern Era, Monarchs used the term Democracy with disdain. The during the French Revolution, bad Polity (Democracy) was taken as a badge of honor as it was deemed a better alternative than bad Monarchy (Tyranny). With the advent of total war and a boom in the guillotine market, Robespierre's Public Prosperity Committemen were sure they could make it work. ***Insert meme of tragic fail here*** Democracy has been used to promote revolution since.
In the United States this was not the case. Democracy to from the time of our Founders until the rise of Socialism in our Academic institutions at the dawn of the (American) Progressive Era (and somewhen betwixt the Spanish-American War and WWI) was synonymous with mob rule. President Wilson is the first president to refer to the US as a "Democracy" all other presidents until that time use the term Republic. This put our Army into an brief crisis because official Army doctrine until that point considered Democracy an enemy of the United States.
Republics in the (US) American sense are distinguished by Limited Government, Separation of Powers, Rule of Law (where Liberty and Equality are liberally and justly applied indiscriminately); and Individual Rights: right to freedom of conscience, right to freedom of association, right to expression, and right to due process ad infinitum, are the contractual obligations of each and every Citizen to their selves and others and the duty of government to uphold. Every Citizen is to think well, speak their mind, and say their peace while respecting others doing the same. This is considered polite (engaging in polity), civil, and patriotic.
Democratic movements on the other hand tend to be distinguished by the rule of the purported will of the majority with restrictions placed upon conscience, association, expression and civil protection for the "good," "safety" or "security" of the people in order to make everything fair and equal usually under color of law or the point of a gun and confounds the will of the majority with the will and purpose of the state. Even if one is a member of said majority no one's rights are certain. Equality becomes forced conformity instead of freedom of opportunity. In this state the best virtue is conformity to the majority (if it is possible and you are not made out to be a scapegoat in the machinations of the movement). Anything other than conformity can be construed as mean, criminal and treacherous/treasonous.
A distinctive feature of Progressives in both parties (GOP has progressives they just move the goal-posts more slowly) refer the US as a Democracy and those of us who wish to maintain some semblance of Liberty under the architecture of limited government continue to refer to the US as a Republic. For those of us who have family members who fought in the 2nd World War we remember that Communism, Fascism, and Nazism were not merely movements to promote socialist agendas but Democratic movements as well. They proudly promoted themselves as Democratic movements. Democracy was synonymous with their ideologies and the reasoning for change.
For the Europeans Democracy was a step away from absolute Monarchy. For the United States Democracy is a step backward for everyone except Progressives, the Deep State, and the Establishment Elite. Forgive me, but the school teacher me came out.
In the military we were given debriefs and sitreps when embarking to Florida as if it were a non-aligned foreign country due to the insane amount of police corruption there in the 80s. If anyone was arrested and charged with anything innocent or guilty we were advised to sign nothing, say nothing except demand our phone call to the JAGS.Weird is such a limited word to describe the neighbors in Fort Lauderdale.
Met my first stalker there -- a very confused woman to say the least.
Wash and wear is a thing because of the humidity--who needs dryers?
A guy robbed a convenience store nearby but forgot to get the security footage. He went back into the store while the police were interviewing the cashier. For some reason he thought it was unfair that he was apprehended.

LSPAN is general governmental discussion like the Senate, LSPAN2 is for when LSPAN is already broadcasting something, and LSPAN Xtra is the entertainment channel. LSPAN3 can be the emergency broadcast channel.

Ah yes, traditional IRU broadcasting.

Isn't it extraordinary that in all of the 50,000+ years of human existence, we happened to be alive right now when the collective knowledge of human civilization is accessible at our finger tips, the world has been explored and conquered many times over, transportation and opportunity are limitless, and most of the problems faced by our ancestors have simply disappeared? We are truly blessed to be living in the 21st Century.

I have a weird request in terms of the ICTO...
Next to my name it says, "President and WA Delegate", Is there any way we can have the "WA Delegate" portion removed?
I feel like it kind of implies that the delegate has some kind of power in regional decisions and we've decided many times that this will not be the case in Libertatem.
Rateria
LSPAN3: President Hyderbourg, political leader or whiny brat? Answer coming up next!
Pevvania, Rateria, Condealism
No, that's built in to the game. Since you hold both President and WA Delegate positions, the game combines them both. The only way to get rid of that is to resign from the WA or have someone surpass you in endos and become the new WAD.
I recommend endorsing my puppet Minovdigon instead.
Rateria, Condealism
Also, consequence of that is that if, say, Patriots got WAD, he'd be World Assembly Delegate / Chancellor of the Interior.
Rateria, Condealism
No, what I mean is when they put my title into the dispatch they wrote, "President & WA Delegate" whereas I think they should've just wrote President.
Rateria
Oh, I missed the "ICTO" part. Whoops. Yeha, makes sense.

"To the inconstant communist regions who have declared war on Libertatem and her allies, now hear this: No region is invincible, especially not you. You've seen this with your own eyes. If you want to profess anti-revisionism, anti-capitalism, and anti-liberalism, know that your active founders, passwords, and even WA nations are not an impenetrable defense from the enemies those policies will make. There will always be regions like Libertatem to oppose you, circumstances you can't foresee to ruin you, and failures within your systems to hold you back, but only as long as you continue a legacy of hatred, warfare, and evil. There's still a chance for you - you can lay down your arms against all fellow anti-fascists and maintain your sovereignty, your stability, and your camaraderie. You can set aside your grudge against liberalism and libertarianism, and you will not be completely alone when more malevolent forces come knocking at your door. You can embrace peace, and it will be extended to you. But if you intend to take through war what you cannot win in debate, if you plan to destroy that which you cannot comprehend, if you persist in making an enemy of Libertatem and regions like it, you have my guarantee that it will surely result in your destruction."
