When are the elections?
Do I have anything to do with elections? Can I vote?
I believe elections will be next weekend.
You will have to apply for Citizenship, which you can do ten days after moving here.
How?
So I have to apply next saturday? Can I apply while elections are happening?
Muh Roads factbook shows the application that you need to copy=paste into a telegram to him.
As long as you are an accepted Citizen before the moment the poll closes, you are golden.
So can I apply early? Just because I may be out of the country next weekend?
Accepted, not applied.
Sorry, but it doesn't work like that. When you get back you can draft legislation for an absentee ballot system.
Interesting. I see you guys are big on acronyms for acts..
They can be fun sometimes. Like the Disestablishment of the Right Party Act, DERP.
Totally possible to just be boring and not make an acronym.

It's so true.
I don't have a favorite President. I have a group of Presidents that i like.
Reagan,Washington,Lincoln,Andrew Jackson,and Ike.
Top Presidents that i Hate
Obama,Clinton,FDR,LBJ,Carter,and Buchanan.
Well, that stinks.
The acronym will be the hardets part. Heresx my first thought:
VOTE: Vacationers Optional Timing for Elections
Went downstairs to run some errands, stepped in a whole and turned my ankle, limped to the car and next thing I know I was on the ground with my neighbor having me in a headlock. Apparently I passed out and had a convulsion. Why does this always happen to me? This is like the fifth passout in my life. I was confused but know I don't understand why I'm being made to lie down with my computer. I don't feel anything anymore.
Ive passed out once and had one panic attack.
Victory Of The ....
Rofl everyone look at The International...the communists got owned.
Did you guys see slavia?
Slavya GOT WRECKED
You guys are munchkins in comparison.
You hear me? MUNCHKINS! Now drop and give me 20.
I know. The Internationale was also a joke...XD
How about the VOTE act: Voting Time Extension Act
I will never support something like that. I can do an absentee voting or something, but not an extension seventy-two hours is long enough.
Thats what it is, I just cant find a good acronym. Its only an extension for absentees.
I makes me sad to see alliances of regions with 200+ nations. I wish we had a bunch like that, let alone an alliance that huge.
And 72 hoursis too long I think.
We do have alliances...!
:/
Couldn't we merge RWU and REATO to form one large Rightist Alliance.
I hope you are kidding.
I'm not sure how wise it is to let fascists get control of any regions; let alone communist ones.
RWU is comprised of pretty much a bunch of racist/fascist regions. I saw like a couple capitalist regions as members of it.
We were once a member of the RWU, in our early days. But then we "discovered" that fascists are collectivists, and we have no business associating with them.
AHAHAHAHAHA The International got parred.
I am going to ask the Board to officially re-authorise the War on Communism. Although I have all the Constitutional authority to do it myself, I'll leave this to the Board for now.
Ya, and then Slavya got (quote Minerva) WRECKED!
Why are you obsessed with Slavia?
GERMANIC SUPERIOR. Although the Slavs have good food.
The Slavs have decent food. Borscht is as good as it gets, in my opinion.
Im not..why would you think I am?
I was just asking why you kept trying to bring it up.
Oh, I didntrealise I did
Heck no. RWU is the enemy; they're the right wing version of our adversaries, and our war is against all totalitarians.
Indeed. I think the time has come to resume our operations in earnest. In the meantime, I'm attempting to devise ways to improve the REAGAN Treaty Organization (Reato); if you have any tips for organizing its structure to serve offensive and defensive operations at maximum efficiency, telegram me at this nation here and I'll pass the message along to the leaders of the member regions.
Muahahahahahahahaha! >:D
"What is called a planned economy is no economy at all. It is just a system of groping about in the dark." - Ludwig von Mises, Human Action.
hahaha he said "groping"
Hahahahahahahahaha
Settle down, children.
I do what I want.
The debate has officially closed, I hope we all learned something.
WHAT SAY YOU, LIBERTARIAN, PRO-REAGAN UNWASHED MASSES!?

Pax drops in once again :3
I am not pro-Reagan.
I am pro Coolidge.
You're an idiot. Source: Congressional Hearing. You can't prove it.
No need for Ad Hominems now!
I was interested to see what you thought, I already know you Libertarians don't like me or my views :P
I actually don't know you, I just like insulting people.
:(
So really you're Pro Plant the seeds of the Depression?
Oh well then, that's ok! Fvck you too! :3
HALLO ISLAND 2014
I don't know who you are, but I like you.
Yay! HALLO ISLAND 2014!
YAY NON CITIZEN SUPPORTER!
[B]Hallo Island[/B]
It is time for change.
See, I feel like you haven't even been here long enough to know who to vote for. I mean you're only a day and five hours old, it's not like you're an expert on regional politics. Tell me, why do you support Hallo?
[B]Hallo Island[/B]
It's time for inexperience and educated guesses!
OH NO YOU DIDN'T
It was a shame that the Democratic House wouldn't let the Gipper cut spending, but the military build-up was completely justified to beat the Commies.
Humph, that was completely uncalled for. Argue against Pax constructively, not via hurtful as hominems.
That's not true, Pax, we all like you. You should run for Board.
Time for Conservative in-fighting.
I'm not a conservative.
That was kinda the point, Pev. But, he should run for the Board. Like I said, I like him. He's feisty.
During Coolidge's presidency the United States experienced the period of rapid economic growth known as the "Roaring Twenties". He left the administration's industrial policy in the hands of his activist Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, who energetically used government auspices to promote business efficiency and develop airlines and radio.[102] With the exception of favoring increased tariffs, Coolidge disdained regulation, and carried about this belief by appointing commissioners to the Federal Trade Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission who did little to restrict the activities of businesses under their jurisdiction.[103] The regulatory state under Coolidge was, as one biographer described it, "thin to the point of invisibility."[104]
"Political Party A has created WAY more jobs/spent more responsibly/been X% more awesome than stoopid Political Party B in X amount of years!" is an extremely erroneous argument that ignores ideological and policy differences between politicians.
Keep cool with Coolidge
He also pushed for black and women's rights, and gave Native Americans full citizenship.
Beat the commies, beat saddam, beat the ebul muzlim terrorists... looks a lot like a trend to me...
Besides, aren't Libertarians supposed to be anti-war of any kind? :P
N'aww s'okay, if that's just how he is then we can all have a good ol' oiled up, ad hominem wrestle in the mud :3
I spend too much time on Lerodas... I haven't even looked at the Libertatem RMB for the past what... hell... month?
Thank you! :3
"Herbert Hoover, who energetically used government auspices to promote business efficiency"
"Hoover, who energetically used government auspices"
"government auspices"
there's your problem. DEATH TO HOOVER
Post self-deleted by Republic Of Minerva.
Well, that's new.
I'm generally anti-war, but being libertarian fundamentally means respecting human rights. And anyway, the Soviet Union initiated the Cold War with their annexation of Eastern Europe and large parts of Africa and Asia.
Now to be clear, I love ad hominem fights, however, I'm not usually like that. Just to people to people that hate the Gipper.
Fun fact: Hoover prolonged the Depression with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and 'encouraging' businesses not to cut wages, meaning that a) foreign trade was killed when other nations enacted retaliatory tariffs and b) employers could not cut costs in order to hire more people and expand their enterprise, keeping unemployment high.
Also, why don't you like Reagan? His economic policies were nearly identical to that of Coolidge.
I used to be like that, but I got to the point where I was confident in having more facts than the insulter, so the attacks didn't affect me.
I like Reagan, but...
Muh security funds
Also, Reagan funded what today is a huuuge problem. http://newsone.com/1205745/cia-osama-bin-laden-al-qaeda/
Minerva, what's going to happen in India thirty years from now?
Overpopulation and disease. Also a growing Indian middle class!
It wasn't really Al-Qaeda back then. The group started in 1988, right near the end of Reagan's term, as a part of the mujahideen, a coalition of anti-Soviet freedom fighters. Al-Qaeda's main function was... setting up training camps to integrate foreign volunteers.
Afghanistan could have thrived in the post-Soviet world, but unfortunately the United States abandoned it.
Well, what if one of the native Indian farmers that France has trained with special hunting skills to kill a native species of large cat that is threatening the cattle, a major resource to France, later will kill French cattle in thirty years? How will France know that? How can they tell the future? How could Reagan?
Not me!
It was what would coalesce into Al Qaeda. The same insurgents turned back on us when the Soviet threat ended because they had the power and knowledge that we gave them to fulfill whatever was down their list.
Because typically farmers do not have agendas other than tend to their crops.
Than forget the example and answer the question rather than dodging and arguing about the example.
What?
How could Reagan have known what the future held?
9/11 was not the fault of the US arming the mujahideen. It was the fault of the Bush and Clinton Administrations abandoning the region and continually missing indicators that Bin Laden was a dangerous terrorist with plans to attack America. Clinton in particular missed a lot of opportunities to catch him.
If I, in 2014, had the chance to go back in time and choose not to arm the mujahideen I would not have done so. They were valiant freedom fighters that helped cause the collapse of the USSRthe. They relied heavily on US aid, especially on American shipments of Stinger missiles that helped bring down hundreds of Soviet craft.
Actually, Reagan knew very well of the dangers of Islamic extremism. He was a very insightful man. In his riveting autobiography An American Life, he predicts future events several times - including 9/11.
How do I know I am about to hit a car if I drive through a red light? Trick question, I don't. I assume I might, so I stop.
Humpheria, turning civilized conversation into primitive sh!t-flinging.
I try :)
Respecting a certain set of human rights ;)
NERR! IT WAS T3H FAULT OF T3H GOVURNMENT! CLRLY T3H IMAGEZ OF AIRPLANEZ ARE AKTUALLI MIZZILEZ!!111oneoneone!!! ALSO, INTERNAL DETONATIONZZZ!
Hey, all I know about Reagan is that most of the stats I find on him are terrible and (i quote) "everybody thought he was senile and slightly insane, and that he would push the big red button and kill us all". My mother's family wasn't keen on him X)
It'sth politics, baby! I kid. That post was written in jest in the beginning. I have no reason to make my view known, everyone here already knows my views. And after some things you've said about people in this region, you are totally not a hypocrite.
