Region: Libertatem
Yeah we have some good ideas once in a while.... :p

As I said, I still have the layered version. Every aspect was just a different layer.
So you would like this more?:

Krypton Nova has won the flag competition! http://i.imgur.com/Si3J0R5.png
Now to wait for you guys to ask the officials to change the flag :3
Teuberland, Krypton Nova Space Station, Linnuan Ambassador
[nation=short]Krypton Nova Space Station[/nation], I would prefer if the eagle was filled in, the eagle seems a little detailed with all the squiggles in it for the size of the flag we need. But that's just my opinion.
Noladen Colony
Perhaps a lighter, yellower shade of gold, but, yeah.
Noladen Colony, Krypton Nova Space Station
Perhaps a regional poll on the old vs. the new?
Noladen Colony
Well yeah, but we (the board) or Humpy (the Humpster) would need to agree to it regardless.
Rateria, Teuberland, Noladen Colony
That doesn't sound all too Libertarian lol.
Noladen Colony
Isn't. But that's the law.
Noladen Colony, Nova Gharoukannia
Then it ought to be changed. I say there would need to be a 60-70% threshold for a decision such as that, but still a change ought to be made nonetheless. It's contradictory to our values to give a panel a power the people could easily take over for.
Noladen Colony, Nova Gharoukannia
It was changed. It was changed to what we have now, to prevent the same fiasco as last time the flag changed from happening again.
Teuberland, Noladen Colony
This shade?

Noladen Colony
I like it! What do you guys think?
Noladen Colony, Krypton Nova Space Station
First things first, though?
Could either the President or the Board deliberate on having our current flag changed to the French flag for one week?
Teuberland, Noladen Colony
I think he did a great job, my flag was too busy, his is just right amount of stuff :3
Krypton Nova Space Station
I'm not the biggest fan of this flag, not going to lie. It's not very unique, the eagle does not look very nice, and reminds me a lot of the EU flag with those colors and format. Just some criticism. I personally find nothing wrong with the flag in its current form.
Miencraft, Noladen Colony, Krypton Nova Space Station
Well personally I liked Republic Of Minerva proposal better: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=350693
but I like Krypton Nova's flag too.
Thanks for the criticism btw.
Krypton Nova Space Station
Hi I'm new, I do not understand very well what the game is. Can anybody help me?
Noladen Colony, Krypton Nova Space Station
Welcome to NationStates my comrade
3 things matter in this game
- Issues
-Regions
-Community
Everyday you get issues you have to answer, they shape your nation, regions are places your nation resides in, they are like communities/forums where you can talk to nations, and participate in stuff thta happens in them :3
Rateria, Republic Of Butare, Krypton Nova Space Station
*that
Republic Of Butare
Pursuant to BANNER, I will act as President to change the regional flag to the French Tricolore until Thursday in solidarity with the attacks in Paris.
Until that time, the Board may rule on a permanent flag change. I will not do so unilaterally.
Miencraft, Rateria, Condealism, Teuberland, Noladen Colony
Alright - if we had to pick a new flag, what elements would you like to see in it? Just out of curiosity.
Noladen Colony
***IMPORTANT***
If you would like to join (or re-join) the RLP, telegram me. Even if you have been RLP for life in government, let me know so I can include you in an internal survey.
Thanks,
President Humpheria
Noladen Colony
As much as I hate surveys [/joke], sure, I'm still a member.
Noladen Colony
Bruh idk, I was just saying, it really doesn't matter to me as long as it looks good, which in tern, means it matters to me a little bit.
Noladen Colony
You know, looking at this again I'm a bit annoyed by how bright that blue is.
Didn't really notice before, but it could stand to be toned down quite a bit.
Noladen Colony, Krypton Nova Space Station
Also yes I realize that's probably the same blue we used for our normal flag, but our normal flag isn't mostly blue.
Noladen Colony
Oh and the Board's gonna vote now on whether or not to make Krypton's flag the official flag of Libertatem, once the French flag passes.
I'll wait until everyone else votes.

Facebook is loner-phobic because it's prejudiced against people who have no friends
Krypton Nova Space Station
I hardly ever use facebook, dont find a point to it, also it gives me the creeps.
Rateria, Krypton Nova Space Station, Linnuan Ambassador
Good point. Maybe the logo should be bigger.

I would have just put a white circle under the eagle but that works too.

Oh boy, I do love watching "an"coms who want to abolish the state talk about how much they want to tax the rich.
Rateria, Teuberland, Parvimperia
inb4 NST comes here saying "but taxation isn't necessarily statist!!!"
He's right you know, it's not just statist, it's an aggressive tactic used by the mafia.
Pevvania, Rateria, Teuberland, Krypton Nova Space Station
Yeah... the Seahawks aren't making it back to the Super Bowl this season.
Right-Winged Nation
Okay, what would you prefer?
I have a suggestion. What if you just put some thought into the elements you want in the flag, what colors they have, the color of the background and stuff like that, and then make a flag based on that?
If find the flag before the French one unoriginal. It just says your anti-communist. It's much more original if you make up your own symbolism, make it really stand for your region. Saying your anti-something doesn't really unite. Especially if you are so much more then that. And unity is needed if you want to succeed as a region.
But that's of course just a puppet's opinion ;)
Noladen Colony
I personally vote for keeping our old flag, that is just me and I don't support the changing of our identity with a new flag. But that's just me feel free to disagree.
How about a rich fat racist satanic terrorist doing drugs and shooting a gun at roads?

So Trudeau's first major decision is to waste 14 million on Indonesian "infrastructure." Ignoring the fact that next to India, Indonesia has the fastest growing economy in South asia.
Teuberland
That actually a vote?
If you could just say something in big letters so I can find it later that'd be nice.
Ugh. This man is full of terrible economic ideas. He's a politician that's actually promised to deliver deficits - and considering that FDR, Bush, and Obama all promised balanced budgets, may God have mercy on what the Canadian economy's about to become. Promising 3 years of $10 billion deficits could well mean promising 3 years of $100 billion deficits.
It'd be great if Canada had somebody like Paul Martin controlling the finances again. He cut government in the 90s even further than the Clinton Administration. Granted, he wasn't very good when he got made PM. But his fiscal legacy fundamentally transformed Canada and put it back on the right course.

He's asking if that was your official vote.
Yeah took me a moment to realize
I VOTE NAY TO THE MOTION big letters just for mien 😉
Miencraft
I vote NAY
Woah man
And now Canada is going on the wrong course, back to the 1980s when everything in Canada was WRONG.
The people will cheer on Trudeau even as he raises their taxes, preserves and expands bill C-51, commits to war with ISIS, ignore the huge gaping holes created by monopolies such as the dairy and maple syrup monopolies, and throws billions of dollars of the taxpayer's money at third world countries where it is wasted. They'll cheer, as the proletariat did for Lenin, and viciously defend their failing government monopolies on nationalistic or emotional grounds ("muh free healthcare") even as the quality drops, at LEAST unlike those selfish evil Americans that they have free dental/nanny/whatever the socialists want now
Pevvania, Rateria, Parvimperia
Forgive me Roads for I have sinned.
I didn't mean to suppress you Mien.
The Internal Affairs Department is the most important department to stay active daily and our manager has not been active for ten days.
I am now accepting applicants to replace him. Interested parties should send me their in-game résumé. Kings Island will be removed if he does not respond by Friday. That is when a replelacement will be named.
I don't even notice stuff like this because by the time people point it out it's already un-suppressed and there's no way to tell what was suppressed in the first place.
This sounds like a job for Lord Roads!
Already accepted the position
King's Island is being replaced? That's something that I never expected to happen.
He is inactive and we may have pending citizenship requests that we don't even know about.
If Kings Island does not acknowledge this today, he will be replaced by President Muh Roads.
Ah, I see. Is it just me or is this a similar scenario to what happened to Midland County?
Yup
History does repeat itself.
I very briefly met our next First Lady (Heidi Cruz) at a meet & greet on Monday. Yippee.
School's calmed down a bit, so I'll be more active until finals.
Agree to disagree.
So the whole Bench will be present for the trial. Shermaniya will need to appoint a defense and Yrellian will need to respond with preparation.
Remember that the point of the trial must be to repeal President Road's executive order. That is the only jurisdiction of the Court in the matter.
The Aradites
I didn't specifically ban anyone, just UCR renegades, enemies of Libertatem.
I see a subpoena in my future.
I am seeking an amendment to the Third Branch Amendment to allow for Supreme Court Cases to be publicly held on the forum.
I will make a poll for one day as amendments to legislation are generally more expedient than legislation as a whole. The Board may vote in the poll and it will be marked as their Board vote.
3/5 Board Majority required
2/3 House Majority required for amendment to pass.
Anyone here a railfan?

This vote is literally minarchist vs anarchist
And minarchy is winning. :)
Vs anarchist? How?
The poll solidifies public courts as a function of the Libertatem government, rather than private events. Of course, the entire idea behind Libertatem is that it is designed as a corporation, so it might not mean anything.
I still don't follow. Public trials = minarchism, private trials = anarchism, how?
Muh Roads
Fun fact: Nobody voting in favor of this is a judge.
Just, y'know, fun fact.
Hello! New here.
Rateria, Parvimperia
I officially appoint Muh Roads as the new Manager of Internal Affairs.
Muh, please make a new factbook based off of KI's to adapt to new changes. I will link your old one for now.
[B]IF YOU ARE A NEW ARRIVAL, APPLY WITH MUH ROADS NOW.[/B]

Very interesting, but my thoughts are more or less confirmed by the comments below.
Pev, I don't think the LA is any more libertarian than the LPUK. I'm beginning to believe (besides Pev ofc) that there are no libertarians in the UK. Libertarian leaning people? Yes. But no libertarians. SMH
The amendment did not pass unfortunately due to the abstention of three Board members.
Working on that, I'll officially open up for business tomorrow. Please bear with me as I make the necessary changes.
Ever get the feeling we need either a more active government, a smaller one, or both?
Muh Roads
What is the new officially flag?
We've got two Board votes for changing the flag to whatever the winning proposal was:
If nobody else on the Board is going to vote then I will, in the morning. Was going to save my vote for last in the event of a tie but if nobody else is going to vote then I'm just going to end this.
for -> on
Alright, alright, I get it. It didn't pass. That's fine - at least we tried.
Well, yeah.
It's morning. I'm voting Nay, let's get this done with. Flag goes back to normal after we're done being French.
All the issues in this game are clearly made by economically illiterate people. SMH.
Sorry that I wasn't on yesterday, it was my birthday.
Pevvania, Parvimperia
Happy Late B-day.:-)
Rateria
Happy belated birthday!

yeah, misconceptions everywhere

There are seriously many communists out there, especially on NationStates, who hate Pinochet for killing thousands of people, but defend Stalin and Mao despite their massacre of tens of millions of people.
Pinochet was a fascistic dog, but to recognise this and also tolerate the murder of millions is just mind-numbing.
Miencraft, Rateria, Condealism, Parvimperia, Linnuan Ambassador
Note: appreciating Pinochet's economic policies has nothing to do with supporting him as a leader. Pinochet hired a team of economists and crafted policy based on their advice. So you can easily separate the Chicago Boys, as they were known, from Pinochet's authoritarianism. In the same way, you can condemn Vladimir Lenin for being a murderer and a tyrant but also appreciate his New Economic Policy, which was essentially neo-liberal.
Miencraft, Rateria, Parvimperia
I can't stand Pinochet, but I hate Stalin and Mao even more because when I say I'm a communist, that's what people see.
Rateria, Condealism, Teuberland
Kinda like being compared to Ayn Rand's selfishness when saying your a Libertarian.
Rateria, Condealism, Parvimperia, Krypton Nova Space Station, Linnuan Ambassador
more like being told libertarian=road hating child starver
Miencraft, Rateria, Teuberland
Ooh, don't get me started on Ayn Rand. She's pretty high up on the list of historical figures I most hate. She herself denounced Libertarianism regarding it as too close to traditional Anarchism.
Condealism, Teuberland, Parvimperia
No one can hate roads
Rateria
I heard she said "hippies of the right," but Idk if that's so.
