Region: Libertatem
And you were forgiven. Refer to my previous post about Hyder, if you will. Aux and Hyder have yet to make any attempts to try and be forgiven. That makes you an exception, Lib.
Miencraft, Rateria
Hyder will be listed as a terrorist today, tomorrow, and forever.
Miencraft, Pevvania, Rateria
Lets not forget that he also exposed military secrets out of revenge for being convicted (by the Jury, not Mien, or Pev, or Humph.).
Miencraft, Rateria
What are you talking about?
He sent the CPE screenshots of classified intel just to get back at us... even though none of us actually convicted him, there was a jury of unnamed people who unanimously convicted him.
Miencraft, Rateria
Dude, you were going to raid a region just because a merger was taking long. Why the hell should the CPE have merged with a region that wanted to do that to them?
Honestly, the CPE merger was a series of terrible ideas.
One such terrible idea was letting it get dragged on as long as it did. We really should have dropped it once they started getting stubborn.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Lol, you should have just listened to me and Aux and never start the negotiations in the first place. But that doesn't change the fact that raiding a region just because they want to make sure that they are protected goes against our libertarian values.
CPE negotiations actually began before you and Aux even arrived in the region. And the proposal put forward to the Senate actually wasn't to raid them, but to dispatch a military garrison to endorse the elected delegate and apply pressure for them to hurry the talks.
But I'm actually glad that li'l Hyder sabotaged the talks, because it prevented us from merging with a bunch of egotistical statists and corrupting Libertatem's founding principles. He did us a favor, ironically.
Miencraft, Rateria
Gonna pass on that one my guy
Miencraft
shut
Not to start an argument here, but rather just to set one thing straight in that we didn't do anything.
One of the first things I did while I was Minister of Internal Affairs and your region's government, the individual I do not remember as of now, in formed us of Aux's and Hyder's status. One of the first things we did was discuss it internally, and we did say that we would keep an eye on their activities, and basically made it clear that they were not to disrupt our relations with you. As far as we knew, no such thing occurred while they maintained themselves in our jurisdiction. Hyder became active in our government, he ran uncontested due to two primary reasons, one was that interest in regional government has waned greatly and the other was that Hyder was an effective Vice Chancellor and government member by the point of this last election.
All I'm saying is that saying that the CoFN did nothing is simply not true, our government did take steps to ensure that they didn't harm you in our region, and it's only after Hyder already had already had an extremely successful term in a government office that he won our executive position uncontested.
Miencraft, Rateria
I don't see why this is an issue. He is currently on the list of terrorists AND the leader of CoFN (if Osama were president of France would we keep relations?). We obviously are not close friends anyways so why keep relations? What is the point of dragging this out?
Miencraft, Pevvania, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Yeah well, you're kind of banned so don't count on staying here much longer.
Miencraft, Pevvania, Rateria, Highway Eight
You will do no such thing. Your ban is permanent. Permanent means permanent. Get the hell out of here. Don't you dare ever come back again.

I'm glad net neutrality is repealed. The GOP finally came to their senses. The economic illiterates can whine all they want and it won't change anything.
Pevvania, Rateria, Venomringo, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
I dont know much about net neutrality. I know that many people want it, but I havent taken a side due to lack of information. What are the benefits of repealing this law?
Net neutrality is a government solution to a government problem. ISPs are so hard to start because corrupt local governments ensure awful companies like Verizon and Comcast have monopolies over the area they work in. Don't want bad internet packages? Get rid of all the unnecessary regulations and corrupt laws.
Miencraft, Narland, Republic Of Minerva, Rateria, Venomringo
So, maybe Israel will get bigger by the end of the year.
Let's also not forget that net neutrality has only been around for about three years.
At worst, the internet will go back to how it was four years ago.
The internet four years ago was basically the internet now.
Narland, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Yo, Senate elections start on the 1st. Sign up now, scrubs.
Rateria
Im wondering if I should run again. If there is someone who could do better than me, I wont mind taking a step back and letting them run without my competition.
For those in the States, have a Happy Thanksgiving. May everyone have a peaceful week and safe journeys.
Rateria, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
BLACK FRIDAY and thanksgiving too i guess hap
Rateria
I will be running for reelection.
Rateria, Fascist Dred, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Sudetenburg
I might as well run for re-election.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Sudetenburg
I am not running for re-election. Sorry, folks. I need a tiny break for just a wee bit.

SENATOR LIB'S OFFICE
Citizens of Libertatem. In the last two months we have seen no military operations, a stagnant population, and nothing has happened. That is partly my fault. I promised you two months ago that I wanted to reform the law code and voting system. But a lack of consensus and extreme busyness has prevented me from being able to work on it. A lot of things have happened in my life, and I should have been more open about it to you, you deserved to know. I am however, going to run for re-election. I have learned from my mistakes though, so I am not going to make promises that I can't keep this time.
I am however going to tell you what kind of person you are voting for if you vote for me. You will be voting for an independent politician that can work with everyone. You will be voting for a person that is a good organizer. You will be voting for a person that is a good listener. You are voting for a person that has the courage to criticize the government and it's policies. And, most importantly, you will be voting for a person that is going to put Libertatem first, and personal issues second. That's all I've got for you.
Rateria
I will be running for the senate.
Miencraft, Rateria
Sure Ill re-run
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
I have decided that the region is slipping and it would be wrong for me to slip with it. The Senate has grown inactive and I think this is easily fixable. I have had my break and while I currently serve as Senate Secretary, I announce that I will be running for the Senate this term. For the seat being vacated by Boes Othan.
Pevvania, Rateria, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Welcome back, Former President Mr. Secretary.
Humpheria, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Former President Former Speaker Mr. Secretary***
But thank you, Mr. Chancellor. I look forward to working with you again if I am elected.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
I endorse Humpheria to succeed my seat in the senate.
Humpheria, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
Thank you, and thank you for your service Senator.
Pevvania, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
I am happy to announce I'm running for Senate of the Second Republic of Libertatem!
You all can find my party platform here: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=sulania_in_libertatem/detail=factbook/id=main
Pevvania, Humpheria, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
If you'd like I can get that officially registered as a Libertatem political party.
Rateria
That would be most appreciated
Rateria
I would like to take this time to issue a statement concerning the upcoming
senate elections. In specific the fourth seats election:
Humph is an experienced public servant that has led this region in different roles since October of 2013. That is longer than some of us have been playing this game. He has nothing left to accomplish or gain, and when faced with the option to fade away from life in our region and move on, he chose to step up and serve once again. I wholeheartedly endorse and commend my friend Humpheria. Humph for 4
Miencraft, Pevvania, Humpheria, Rateria, Jadentopian Order, Boes Othan, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
Oof. Its going to be different, seeing others vote for our wishes. But I could rest easy knowing Humph was the one in my old seat.
Humpheria, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
Not that my endorsement really matters, but I officially endorse Suliana for Seat 2.
Humpheria, Rateria, New Tampa
I endorse Humpheria for Seat 4 and Sulania for Seat 2
Humpheria, Rateria
Again, not that it matters, but I also endorse Humpheria and New Tampa.
Humpheria, Rateria, New Tampa
Today, the Senate voted on the regional Discord server to approve a treaty that would bring us into NURight. If you are not aware, NURight involves the KAISERREICH, a region that was involved with ANTICOM, a dangerous, extremist, and disgustingly anti-liberty, fascist and nazi TRF clone. The values of Libertatem have always been that of personal freedom and liberty, and today, the Senate has decided to ignore our history and allow our great region to fall under the influence of this hateful and militant region under the guise of diplomacy. I ask all concerned citizens of Libertatem who still believe in the values that we stand for to NOT vote for Rateria, Fascist Dred, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, and Centremoda in this upcoming election. These Senators have completely ignored what Libertatem stands for, and have put us into an alliance with a region that has an embassy with Nazi Europa and was involved in terrorist activities mimicking that of the Red Fleet. We should not even have considered an alliance with such a blatantly awful region.
Citizens, with this election, vote for the candidates that are pro-liberty, and pro-freedom, not the candidates that want official ties with a region that was involved with a terrorist, fascist, and nazi organization just 3 months ago.

What's the point of including a filename that doesn't actually do anything?
Rateria, Ankerland, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa
Good question :þ. In all seriousness I am on my phone and I didn't know if it would work or not
Rateria
What, did you try to, like, just link to the file directly in the RMB? Is it a google doc or something? That ain't how those work.

I don't know anything about computers. I can delete the message if you don't like it
Rateria
I am gonna come out and announce by candidacy for seat three in the Senate. I am relatively new, but I think I can do that job as well as any other person. I have been active on NS since 2012 and I have been part of many different governments in different regions. I am currently the leader of a region that has been friendly with Libertatem for a while and wishes to strengthen that friendship. I don't really want to align with any party or particular bloc in this region, I want to serve the region as a whole. So, basically, I am going to run and if I win I plan on doing what I think is best at the moment according to my judgement.
Rateria, Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Good luck, and may the best candidate win.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, Highway Eight
Which seat?
It's on dude.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
He just said Seat Three. The one Im currently serving on.

Jadentopian Order, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
While I am not happy with his vote today, I am not a single issue voter. Rateria has done a generally good job and I would like to see him continue in his Senate service. I dont know much about his opponent so Im not enthusiastically for one or the other but for the time being, I will endorse Rateria for Seat 3.
Rateria, New Tampa
After a vote by the Free Libertatem Coalition Central Committee, the Coalition endorses the following candidates in the upcoming Senate elections:
Seat 1: New Tampa
Seat 2: Sulania
Seat 3: Rateria
Seat 4: Humpheria
Seat 5: No endorsement
Rateria
I faithfully endorse the candidates selected by the FLC Central Committee. These candidates will help boost our region's activity and carry forward the MLGA goals in the legislature.

Rateria
Citizens only.
You never applied to be a citizen, from my knowledge.
I've written up a bill regarding the Discord. I am aware that Humph already intends to present one to the Senate, but I've written one too so that the next Senate has something to talk about.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=miencraft/detail=factbook/id=926352
Pevvania, Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
My administration supports this bill. Formally extending the Constitution and legal code to the Discord server, where most of our activity takes place today, is a small but crucial step towards strengthening equality under the law.
Rateria, New Tampa
What's the administration's opinion on the Humpherian bill?
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=humpheria/detail=factbook/id=330298
Rateria, New Tampa
How you gonna do me like that? I had the OG discord bill.
Miencraft, Rateria, New Tampa
This bill has some issues. For one, I'm not comfortable with having administrators confirmed by the Senate, nor do I see why deletion of a server needs a 3/5 majority vote there. Generally, the bill seems to over-regulate the Discord server and creates too many rules governing it.
Miencraft, Rateria, New Tampa
#ImpeachPev
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
I would argue that its not over regulation, its a check on ensuring that the Discord remains open and free.
But both bills are practically the same so whichever the next Senate would like to pass is fine with me as long as one passes.

DECEMBER SENATE ELECTIONS
We stand at a unique time for Libertatem. Our activity levels are high, but our population is low. Our diplomatic reach has expanded, yet we are in need of greater investments in our military. I promised you that we would make Libertatem great again. The facts show that we've made tremendous progress towards that goal. Activity has increased, the roleplay community has been electrified, we've kept Libertatem safe from terror attacks, the military is rebuilding and our region's voice is more respected amongst our friends and more powerful amongst our allies. However, our work is not yet done. While we are beginning to see the fruits of recovery from the population recession gripping many regions, we must keep up our efforts to recruit and grow the region.
I and the FLC have an ambitious legislative agenda to spur greater activity and continue the progress we're making. This includes the SAVE Act, Discord reform and a constitutional amendment that guarantees our liberties. We can only be sure of this and much more if we elect a super-majority to the Senate in these upcoming elections. So, I am endorsing all of the candidates on the FLC roster, and highly recommend that every citizen vote for them.
Seat 1: New Tampa
[nation=short]New Tampa[/nation] hasn't been around as long as others in the region, but has already garnered great respect for his activity, sharp intellect and thought-provoking opinions. He has a firm grip on the politics of this region and would make a very fine Senator.
Seat 2: Sulania
Sulania came to this region not so long ago, but has already proven his passion for liberty and small government. We need more voices in the region who will fight tirelessly for the cause of freedom. [nation=short]Sulania[/nation] is one of them.
Seat 3: Rateria
[nation=short]Rateria[/nation] has been with the region for a little over two years, and has consistently shown himself to be a man of principle and a man of character.
Seat 4: Humpheria
I shouldn't even need to endorse [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation], but will do so anyway. He has a distinguished record that goes back years, filling the roles of president, speaker, senator and many other positions. He was Chairman of the Board during my first presidency when we were tasked with saving the region from collapse. He will do a fantastic job as Senator once again.
Rateria, New Tampa
SENATOR LIB'S OFFICE
I know my endorsements are irrelevant and of little value, but I am going to go ahead anyway.
Seat 1: New Tampa
Seat 2: Centremoda
Seat 3: Rateria
Seat 4: Humpheria
Seat 5: Myself
Rateria
Well this looks smooth
Rateria
(This is not recruitment) To anyone that will listen, there is a relatively new region that I have been monitering for a while. (I have created this nation to hide my identity) This region is in a very likely position to become another dangerous raider region! This region is called The Atlantic Cooperative. This region is highly nationalist and imperialist and has already made an attempt at taking over another region! However, I do not know if it was ultimately a success or not. Now, they have begun the process of creating a regional invasion military! Please, I am here to spread awarness. If we could get anyone to create a resolution condeming this region, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
~The Free Land of Arbolian
Nobody has the right to do this. He hasn't even succeeded yet! You are the one commiting the crimes to the people.
Both of you please keep the drama off our RMB. It doesn't involve us, don't get us involved.
If this region starts to become a threat to us, we'll act. But don't come here and pretend that this has anything to do with us.
Humpheria, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Jadentopian Order
Sorry, I am just going around warning people. My bad
Yeah, and we don't care that raider regions exist. Raiding is part of the game.
I recommend you stop showing up in every region you can find and telling them stuff they don't care about.
Edit: and in any case no modern raider region stands a chance at becoming as prolific and destructive as the Black Riders were. Just let the kids have their fun. If regions really care about what the raider regions are doing, they'll put up security measures to make themselves immune to raiding, like a non-executive delegacy or a password. They don't need some random nobody from some region nobody's ever heard of informing them that a region that's probably never going to be even the slightest bit important exists. If they were already concerned about being raided, they'd already have defenses in place.
Rateria
The mods/admins basically destroyed the fun of raiding anyway post Predator.

The United States Of Patriots, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, New Tampa, Highway Eight
I love the regional officers system and all but, man, raiding was so much more of a threat back before they existed.
Back when the only sure defense against a raid was a non-executive delegacy, but a non-executive delegacy meant nobody but the founder would have regional controls. Had to consider if you wanted to trade off defense against raids for having a second person with regional authority.
Made the entire R/D game a lot more threatening to a lot of regions. Now basically any region with a brain has a non-executive delegacy and the chosen leader of the region has an officer rank with all the powers.
It's literally the only reason the Black Riders were as legendary as they were - so many regions had vulnerable delegacies because it was the only way for democratic and republican regions to make sure their elected ruler had the authority he needed, and as a result there was a massive number of big-name targets for them.
