Region: Libertatem
But still. Safety regulations like that simply providing safety aren't bad. I mean ideally in your view people could not eat at or work at places without safety, but this viewdoesn't always work as some people have no choice in jobs, no matter what the situation, ehich is why I support those minimal regulations.
Given the title, though, you're clearly Communal.
It's Communal Earth ya twit.
I love the smell of pseudoscience in the morning.
But Pev, it's late at night.
How would one not have a choice?
I know.
They're both equal on the whole "knowing things" scale, though, so I don't see the difference.

From my perspective, it's early evening.
Oh, communal is back... grrrrrrrrr
Coercion by bussiness, Family, Education, ect.
That doesn't imply they have no options.
There are always options, and personally to remove those options is immoral. But as we all know, morality is subjective so that's not important.
Point is, there are no real situations where there are no choices.
Hello y'all I'm new to Nationstates.
what he said
Sorry I'm late, but...Flat tax is more fair.
Let's say there's a 10% tax rate, no ifs, ands, or buts. A man who makes a thousand a year is taxed a hundred, and a man who makes a hundred million a year has to pay ten million to his government.
Now, now, I know what you're going to say - "That's not hurting the millionaire enough. He's got enough money to get whatever he wants." Well, to that I say, what's the point in hurting him? He just gave the government ten million dollars, after all. It beats scaring him into hiding his money in offshore bank accounts, doesn't it?
But still they still should have those safety options...I mean... we all should. Participating in a dangerous job when companies don't give proper safety regulations is very bad.
Also fair...point. I'm not gonna argue hurting the rich. I like the rich. Theu provide jobs... I'm simply worried about not wrecking the poor.
So don't participate, protest the business, and force them to adopt them by ensuring they can't make any money.
It's sort of like how Jefferson (confirm please) said that we should have a rebellion every twenty years or so to make sure the government is working properly (by the way, we've got a dozen or so of those rebellions to get around to doing, if anyone wants to get those over with). Don't like how something's working? Change it yourself, or by your own will force it to change.
It's basically the entire premise to our country.

So tell me what is this region all about.
If you only pay 3% of your income, then even if you make a dollar a year you're only paying three cents to the government. It's not really going to hurt anyone.
FREEEEDOMMMMMMMM.
And fighting totalitarian, imperialistic communist regions.
Can the book, music and video sections please be updated? It's painful seeing them so untouched.
Also, we love and support one another. And make fun of TTA
Nice you hold the same beliefs that religon holds.
Freedom to everyone except fascists and communists.
Hahaha...
^Joking
Can you recommend a book, song, and video?
I've been looking but am unable to find suitable choices from my own collection.
And the only reason I can't find a book is because I have so many fantastic books in my library, but I don't know if they're available online for free or partially for free.
No. Religion says "here are some instructions. Follow them and you'll be rewarded by X when you die."
This region says "here you go. Here's a place to live." Then you ask, "what do I do?" The region responds, "I don't care."
Book: In Defense of Classical Liberalism, by Corey Iacono and Matt Palumbo. It's an empirical demolishment of statism, and it's done by the folks from the Facebook page Being Classically Liberal.

Can confirm that if Anarcho-communism were next to this picture, I'd be able to correctly identify the nature of this picture sooner.
Anarco-Communism is completely viable but it requires complete volunteering.
Yeah, okay then.
I don't want to volunteer.
We now have a campaign banner! Show your support for Roads/CI! Factbooks and a surprise will be here soon! Bear with us!
I volunteer to support the anti-volunteer movement.
OK
The Muh Roads Campaign is brought to you by this image:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQFxbo2PH8k
LOL, You didn't build that
What?
...Did you guys hear my littlw speech I gave on my Flip-Flopping?
No, I was busy focusing on writing song parodies. I am the very model of a Libertatem Running Mate...
He has hobbies! Maybe he will make a fun Roads/CI song parody.. *wink wink*
Sure, give me a couple hours, lol
One, two
A one, two, three, four
It's Muh Roads again
Just can't wait to work with Muh Roads again
The life I love is raiding statists with my friends

Declaration of Hostilities
The Constitution of Libertatem grants the Board the power to create war and make peace. Following this principle, the Board has taken action on a recent attack on a small ally. Civogi a fledgling group of thugs used our friends in the United International Nations as a practice raid, meaning they plan to continue offensive operations. As a means of lawfully containing and neutralizing this threat, the Board voted in favor of open hostilities.
Hostilities Entail:
- Intervening in any active Civogi operation
- Liberating any Civogi occupied region
- Collecting intelligence on Civogi operations
Board Members that voted in favor:
[nation]Humpheria[/nation]
[nation]Right-winged nation[/nation]
[nation]Yrellian Confederacy[/nation]
Board Members that abstained or did not vote:
[nation]Rotgeheim[/nation]
[nation]The Neo-Confederate States of America[/nation]
Signed, Effective,
Humpheria
[nation=short]Humpheria[/nation]

President VI
Attorney General

Just finished an actual debate in my class regarding Laissez Faire economics vs. Government intervention.
I was the only one for Minimal Government Intervention almost everyone wanted Heavier Intervention and one person in which I murdered practically was fighting for Laissez Faire. To be honest though it was easy as his only argument was freedom. He used no actual principles of anything in his argument.
Also the guys in the region are only doing defensive stuff they said...and attacked our allies only because they seemed inactive...this is a pointless war deceleration.
It's not a war declaration, it's hostilities. We are hostile to them.
Ah...Okau
THANK YOU!!!
Regardless, we are simply covering the bases for someone that attacked our allies. We had no way of knowing that they would claim to be defensive. Especially when the only thing we have to go on is an unwarranted attack.
It may have been practice, but it was still an attack, I hope that they got it down with that one because we will be watching them from now on.
Aww, is somebody angwy? Im sowwy.
It should be noted, to the Minority groups that we have here, that this is not an arm of the War on Communism, just a response to the attack.
Fair enough. I figured given the practice raid. I am not against it if thwy attacked an ally.
Anyways,
There's a rumor at my school that a student said he was going to shoot up our school.
I take rumors as a grain of salt usually but thus rumor is much more serious than most.
So guys, last year the gov. shut down for Christmas and it is likely to do that again, since the inauguration will be Jan. 1st, do you guys think that 17th-20th would be a good time for elections?
The Commonwealth of Democratic Nations has been officially declared dead. All current CDN members are being advised to move to Libertatem. Thank you for all your support!
Yeah, that's a pretty good idea.
Oookay then. I had hoped we could have been a bit more merciful and diplomatic, but, eh, that works too, I guess.
Back from my Vacation to New British Empire.
You are all welcome here, I am saddened to see the CDN go.
I take it you were the one to talk the CDN into a merger? Impressive.
Post self-deleted by Kanatistan.
Assuming that elections are done between the 16th-20th, the Board again invites all campaigns to participate in the traditional Board-sponsored Presidential Debates. Majority Leader Right-winged nation will be this year's moderator.
Citizens: please telegram any questions you have for the candidates, please send it to me or RWN.
Presidential debates?
Yes. We have had them ever since Pev's third run. They are sponsored and conducted by the Board.

#1 in civil rights? /criestearsoffreedom
Will you participate in the debate?
Of course. Providing it is in the evening, say 6ish central time.
*past 6ish.
If there are any events for VP candidates, I'll see if I can participate as well.
While I would love to sway more votes in my favor, I'd be very impressed to see more of you step up for the position of President. With so many intelligent minds in Libertatem we surely have more individuals interested in presidency right?
Today, because of this kind of rumor, an entire high school in Zurich has been put under a terrorist attack threat, and thousands of students had to barricade themselves in their classes while dozens of heavily armed policemen were patrolling the halls...
Lol, at least we finally got something interesting in the Swiss press !
And our merge with the CDN members is pretty good news !
Considering that I would also like to do that we can have an unofficial debate. Like the US VP debates, it would have absolutely no impact on the election, but it would be fun.
Hey, everybody! Check out our new official campaign propaganda! Please feel free to make this your flag to show your support for your favorite Presidential Candidate!
And nothing happened thank god...
If we get past tommrow I'll be completely worry free
1. I don't particularly like being called a thug as I am not, and don't try to be.
2.We raided an inactive region thinking that no-one would mind, and when we were asked to leave, we did.
3.It was to see what we could do, not to begin raiding, so saying that we plan to continue offensive operations is wrong
I personally don't see our wrong here. Yes, we raided your allied region, but we had no idea that you would get upset, as you didn't even have embassies with them. If you guys would like to explain what we did to earn this, please do.
Actually,
6 hours ago: The Republic of New Humpheria of the region United Independent Nations cancelled the closure of its embassies in Libertatem.
We did, and we do.
Yeah, we take the defense of our allies pretty seriously here in Libertatem. While I'm willing to call your raid an honest mistake, the fact is that there are three Board members who beg to differ - their decision trumps mine.
Okay, i was wrong on the first thing.
But seriously, The last post was 5 days (If i am correct) before our raid, and before that was 7 days. come on! It was very inactive! we had no reason to believe that you guys would get this mad.
No offense, but I can tell you're kind of new to this raiding thing - a diligent, yet somewhat inexperienced raider would find the ideal target to be a region that hasn't stirred for at least a couple of weeks.
In any case, a little research goes a long way. If Libertatem has an embassy with a region, chances are we'll endeavor to defend it if it gets raided.
Yes i am new. as you remember, this was a practice raid.
Yes, but we were given no chance by "the board" to get out of the region and continue on our way. There is something called benefit of the doubt. maybe you've heard of it?
So. Guys. I have an announcement.
I will be running for President as an Independent. I have been helping both candidates. I have given them advice and resources, now I will leave them to their own devices to work on my own.
I will stay on Miencraft's ticket and he will be on my as the VP candidate. I humbly ask for you vote.
Humpheria: Now the Everything Candidate.
Hey, so are you. Mr. Vice Presidential Candidate.
True on both counts, Oudestesos, but the majority of our elected legislative body does not see it that way.
Works for me - I'm sure Muh Roads will be pleased to hear the Mien/Humph platform is now divided ;)
This is WAR. There is no fairness here. Anything goes.
You should of done more research into the target you attacked. Or else you wouldn't have to suffer the consequences.
Now leave this region before I find away to attack and seize yours.
This is also true.
