Number of self indentified ancaps in Europe (via reddit)

I feel bad for that single lone cappy in northern Norway. Hehe

This maps all of the ancaps in the world. Take a look and see who's near you. It would be interesting to meet up with some of the people in New Jersey, imo.

Of course I'd take it with a grain of salt, because look at all the jokesters in Somalia.

I need #Libertarianism because politicians still laugh when I say I want to build a road.

I need #Feminism because most of those politicians elected by the population of citizens are mostly men. Which for some reason is unfair.

Everyone please send a puppet of some kind to the FFS Libertatem IRU to discuss the Free Movement Treaty!

Or you can just post via embassy. Either way, I think the other participants would like to know more before they weigh in, judging by the fact that few have spoken.

Contrary to popular belief, the US never had a completely free market banking system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Bank_of_the_United_States

^this institution was largely responsible of most economic ills for the first half of the 1800s. By limiting the amount of gold or silver a bank could have, when the crises did happen, the banks could not afford to pay back their clients, resulting in huge losses that hurt the poor.

Pevvania

Canada had the longest running free banking system, right up to the Great Depression. In fact, Canadians were actually reluctant to let go of this system and create a national bank. The Canadian model was perhaps the most stable free banking system in the world up to that point.

Thanks for this info man, I'm gonna tell my math teacher this since by her explanation, she acting like it was regulated and that's why most of the banks didn't fail during the depression.

Could I have the source the info too?

(I love it when I can prove that it was the free market that made thing succeed!)

So I assume that's an "I don't like him"? Sorry, I'm relatively new to politics, there is still certain language I need to learn.

Nlbc wrote:Out of interest, who was your favourite president?

I guess Thomas Jefferson, except he owned slaves. (Also, the Louisiana Purchase was a pretty sweet deal, so don't judge him based on that.) Coolidge is also pretty cool, I guess.

William Henry Harrison was the most libertarian president we ever had. If only more presidents were like him.

I can't humour this joke. He was pro-slavery and pro-tarriffs-and-subsidies. His death was actually good for liberty since it put John Tyler into office, a relatively free-market president who unintentionally crushed the Whig Party.

I am a bit of a presidential scholar, by the way.

WHH was from Indiana so I know a bit about him. The best thing he could do for America was die.

That said, His Accidency wasn't so great either. He essentially incited the Spanish-American War, among other things. If you like that period, Polk was who to go with. Both Polk and Taylor were pretty good.

Madison is my favorite non-Reagan president.

Unfortunately the Australian Libdems only got 2% of the share of the vote in yesterday's North Sydney by-election. Better than their last result and better than most third parties, but still uncompetitive.

I thought they would be a bit more popular than this. What are they doing wrong?

What the hell is the "War on Women"?

Haven't brushed up on my Reagan trivia in awhile, but as for #10... I'm no accounting expert, but it seems rather implausible that Reagan could have contributed entire trillions to the national debt, especially considering the Clinton administration had managed to reach a budget surplus (as opposed to the usual yearly deficit) less than ten years after he left office, not to mention the fact that the Obama administration has run up more of a debt than all of the past presidencies combined during his first term alone (and the current debt clock is now somewhere in the trillions).

Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz,

Hoch als Herrscher, hoch als Weiser,

Steht er in des Ruhmes Glanz;

Liebe windet Lorbeerreiser

Ihm zum ewig grünen Kranz.

Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Über blühende Gefilde

Reicht sein Scepter weit und breit;

Säulen seines Throns sind milde,

Biedersinn und Redlichkeit,

Und von seinem Wappenschilde

Strahlet die Gerechtigkeit.

Gott erhalte unsern Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Gott erhalte unsern Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Sich mit Tugenden zu schmücken,

Achtet er der Sorgen werth,

Nicht um Völker zu erdrücken

Flammt in seiner Hand das Schwert:

Sie zu segnen, zu beglücken,

Ist der Preis, den er begehrt,

Gott erhalte unsern Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Gott erhalte unsern Kaiser,

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

Er zerbrach der Knechtschaft Bande,

Hob zur Freiheit uns empor!

Früh' erleb' er deutscher Lande,

Deutscher Völker höchsten Flor,

Und vernehme noch am Rande

Polk salad is delicious.

Thinking of, i lived in the town that holds Polk's ancestrial home once upon a time, also met Miley Cyrus there. Billy Ray didn't like my idea of giving him a tobacco dowry for his daughter's hand. Coulda changed that girl.

According to the citizens register, it looks like you'll be good to go once you verify your World Assembly status. It would be preferable if you joined the WA on the nation you're using here, and retain membership for at least as long as you intend to be President.

Anyway, I strongly advise other new members to put their hats in the ring too. I'd like to see what our next generation of leaders is capable of.
