shaddup. I'm encouraging an anarchic Flag movement in my region CFN, where people placed the flags of what they thought were the most resonable forms of Anarchy.

Fun fact: you are not an anarchist if you believe in the use of force.

Woohoo! Finals are done. I'm not sure which is more difficult, taking exams or giving/grading them...

Also, I just noticed our population has surpassed the Norks! Just a couple months ago, their leader was squawking about how big they were growing. Libertatem, combined with our friends in REATO, AAA, and TCB- we are certainly a force to be reckoned with!

Might want to check that.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on recently, midterms are on me right now and I've been preparing for them a bit. Worry not, I'll return periodically for the next week until Thursday, at which point I'm getting my wisdom teeth out and I'll be conked out on meds.

You're in MUN too? I've been in it for three years. Just got finished at a conference at Vanderbilt University in November. My committee was some Arab Leadership Summit and I was Jamal Maarouf, who is some prominent Syrian rebel leader.

Cool

I do not like the lack of political/ideological discussion in this region. Something we could borrow from our friends in Laissez Faireholm is their penchant to discuss things regularly. Keeps things spicy. Hell, even the Norks do it more than us.

We've got anarchists, liberals, conservatists, communists. I feel that this would lead to fighting. Besides, Miencraft said we can talk about anything.

(statist mode : on )

Let's create a daily mandatory political debate !

On the other side of the coin, a copious amount of political discussion can be either divisive or just plain boring. Our success is due in part to the concept of inclusion, after all - if people here want to talk about what they have in common (and we do), then that's just what we should do.

Besides, why take a page out of the Norks' book? I'd rather we not drone on about mushroom cultivation or figure skating, thank you.

Good point. Their sole purpose seems to be Kim apologism and revisionism.

"Western media is propaganda! North Korean state media is gospel!"

And don't forget, friends, that tomorrow is Pevvania Day, celebrating our region's most food-obsessed nation!

The population seems to have reached a nice plateau. We can either maintain our stability or aggressively expand once our numbers dip again. #NationStatesKeynesianism

Alright, I guess a good topic that could start a political/ideological discussion would be the fact that Rick Santorum is running again in 2016.

I prefer Jeb Bush and im still waiting on his announcement sometime before new years. I don't think Santorum is the type who would get elected, not saying it's impossible, just pretty unlikely.

There are few Republicans I despise more than Rick Santorum. He is, in the words of Kennedy, "A big government social conservative." The party should avoid him like the plague. But I doubt he'll get far in the primaries, since his social conservative base has been severely eroded, and would be carved up between him and Huckabee if the two ran.

Jeb Bush has a very good record as Florida Governor. You know who else had a good record? His brother George. He kept spending, taxes and regulations down. I think it'd be extremely dangerous to go with another Bush just because they're vote-winners. They're statists that have a strong record for destroying the Republican Party and wrecking the country. It's very concerning indeed when a 90s Democrat has a more fiscally conservative economic record than both Bushes put together.

Rand Paul is the only real choice for 2016. Sources have already indicated that a Paul/Susana Martinez ticket is being supported by the RNC. I'll pray to God that this is the case.

The NSG Senate is back up if anyone's interest. I've advise everyone to join the Free Citizens Party.

I understand why so many are turned off by the idea of Jeb Bush, but he does have some positives, money and the ability to make a dent in the latino vote are pretty good starters. Being from Florida will be pretty helpful too.

But the thing about Rand Paul is weather he get enough moderate votes or not, I can't see him doing so against Clinton, maybe Warren though. And hes from Kentucky which is pretty safe for the GOP. Im sure the Libertarian party will still run their candidates lessening the new libertarian support Paul could bring to the GOP. I'm not saying Paul can't win, he would just have a hard time doing so. If Clinton doesn't run, Democratic turnout keeps dropping, and Obama keeps on doing what hes doing then Paul could defiantly beat Romney's results and possibly have a chance.

I think that Republicans are going to have to turn out like it's 1984 and will have to be united like they were last November no matter what happens if the Democrats electoral advantage is to be overtaken.

I read the platform and I like it, I may join but first im gunna check out any similar parties, but this ones the best Iv'e seen so far.

Pevvania day, what a wonderful day to give homage to our former president. When I first came to this region, Pevv got me going, and he brought Libertatem to a bright spot and made this the greatest region of all. *Rises glass* To Pevv, who knows where we would be without him.

Hear hear! *raises glass of Pevv-nog*

I think we should make an Anti-WA party.

Good idea. [nation=short]The New United States[/nation] set up an anti-WA "Libertatem Independence Caucus" a while ago, but he abruptly left the region. You could take it over if you want.

Thank you one and all for the nice comments for Pevvania Day.

Anti-WA guy gonna run for WAD

ACOP opposes the World Assembly (or as I like to call it, the 'World Order' Assembly) by proxy of the first tenet - anti-authoritarianism. The mandates of the General Assembly have no place in the affairs of the individual, and the resolutions of the Security Council are ineffectual at stopping the spread of tyranny.

You're welcome - someone who's done as much for this region as you have deserves their own holiday! But the real celebrations haven't even started yet - no one's even sung the Libertatem seasonal carols yet. Don't worry, I'll start the first one *clears throat, makes an electric guitar materialize out of thin air*:

Guys, I have a request. The presidential debates be at 7 pm Eastern Standard time

We've got a problem - Muh Roads hasn't logged on in a week, and he might miss the debate.

Maybe I should run for President instead.

You know what? Why not - I hereby announce my candidacy for President, and would like to appoint Muh Roads as my running mate. (Unless someone else really, really wants to be the Vice President.)

I look forward to participating in the debate tonight.

Conservative Idealism In Libertatem

VOTE CONSERVATIVE IDEALISM - DECEMBER 2014

I am a reliable partner and sidekick to the people of Libertatem, and have served this region since my main nation's inception. All I ask in return is for your votes.

When I founded [nation=short]Conservative Idealism[/nation], I was Liberosia's sidekick in the budding War on Communism, and co-architect of REATO's predecessors. When a failed rebellion brewed long ago, I aided both former Delegate Snabagag and a foreign opportunist to protect the seat of regional authority, but simultaneously cast a shadow of doubt on the morality of an autocratic executive position. When democracy rang true and former President Pevvania ascended to the Presidency, I was his adviser, and helped to usher in a wave of prosperity we continue to benefit from today. When I decided to leave, I founded the International Republican Union, a region with many of the same principles in common with Libertatem, and a partner to this region in its own right. When the REAGAN Treaty Organization was growing and in need of overhaul, I provided that overhaul to help those more invested in the fight against world tyranny. When President Miencraft desired competition for the RLP (the founding of which I played a role in, also) and his incumbency, I revitalized ACOP to serve as a willing rival. And, finally, when Muh Roads was active and sought to challenge Miencraft for the Presidency, I was his running mate for the campaign.

Over the years I have proven my loyalty to the people of Libertatem, and hope I have additionally proven myself a competent partner. Now my desire is to be the sidekick of the populace as a whole by representing you all as President; I intend to be the one who does the heavy lifting, who delegates (get it?) responsibility so that others have a chance to lead, and who grants the wishes (with or without doing an impression of the Genie from Aladdin). I will be a partner, and not a ruler.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

Okay, so we have the debate tonight, wonderful.

At least they're actually using the term Right-Libertarianism this time. Now they think we're fascists by proxy, rather than fascists outright. Hooray for small victories :P

And rightfully so. I've read the book - it's not worth any of your time. It feels like it was written by somebody who briefly skimmed the Wikipedia article on anarcho-capitalism and then decided to use the concept to string together a bunch of shïtty political jokes and then call it a novel.

According to Max Barry, if taxation and government were abolished America would annex 3/4ths of the world and job perks like sick pay and overtime would cease to exist. That is literally the premise of Jennifer Government. It's far too stupid to critique from a libertarian point of view.
