*holiday
I'll be off for florida tomorrow for 10 days so i might not be as active. Just a an announcement.

Why yes, Christmas is a holiday.

Merry Christmas! If Happy Holidays is the phrase, then there shouldn't be a problem with being specific. Christmas is a week away, Hanukkah is done I think, and if you're a pagan, happy solstice (pagans celebrate it, don't they?). Joyous Kwanzaa too.
There isn't anything wrong with saying Feliz Navidad. After all, given this is a small community of a semi-conservative background, one can presume the place is mostly Christian, agnostic, or atheist. Have another faith with a holiday right now? I hope you enjoy it.

Watched the new Star Wars film today. Fantastic. Was a real shock to see Luke Skywalker revealed to be John McClane's brother. And I DID NOT expect Harry Potter to die at the end!

I just want Jar Jar to be revealed as the evil mastermind by the end of this trilogy.

I was avoiding this post for a while til I accidentally started reading, and then...I don't know how to feel about you Pev.
No spoilers please for those that haven't seen. What's wrong with you!
Seriously though, I work at the theater in my city, and it's been crazy busy the last couple days, insanely if you will. I skipped school yesterday to go see it so I wouldn't have it spoiled for me while working. Please don't tell anyone about my truancy.
Just seen it loved the first half, did not love the second half by second half mean I *not really a spoiler but still WARNING* really hated what happened on the bridge.

Don't start. I still have yet to see it.
Speaking of which, I have to get up early tomorrow. Great...

Hey, Libertatem. This is Baxten asking if anyone would want to participate in a new Space RP. You get to make your own space empires and interact with the others. We did it last time in the CFN, and it was really fun.

You might say that on the topic of Lack there of, Libertatem now has... a lack thereof.

Sounds fun! Don't expect me to be extremely active if I join, but it seems cool.
That's fine. Here is the link. The OP is a WIP, but apps are being accepted:

Okay, I've seen the movie now.
Anyone who wants to talk about it can telegram me.
Just as a reminder, this was posted four days ago. Has the RLP primary ended? If it has, I do believe that it's time for proper elections to commence.
Speaking of elections, I would like to congratulate our friends and allies in [region=Conservative League] for their successful transfer of power following their first election under their Constitution. I had the privilege of serving on the constitutional drafting committee, and so it is very pleasing to see the fruits of that labor realized. [nation=Christian Democratic Republic] is now the President of the CL.
Rateria, Condealism, Reagamerica
One of my friends in real life wants the same thing.

Oh, by the way, as of December 12, I have played Nationstates for a year. Happy belated birthday to Rateria!

The Reaganist Libertarian Party primary has ended and the winner was Right-winged nation.
The presidential election will begin today with RWN (RLP) v. Mhomen (EP) v. Reagamerica (I)
Rateria, Condealism
Today? That's a bit too soon, isn't it?
I'll be releasing my platform today.
20th-23rd. The government shuts down for the holidays from the 24th to the 27th and that would not leave us enough time to have an election.
So, when are we voting?
Right now. The poll is up.
Thank you.
Well timed.
Anyway, what was the turnout - by which I mean, how many RLP members participated in the primary?
This is the first election that I ever got to vote in.
By the way, I noticed that this election is different than the previous one.
Condealism
I also thought we were to engage in a debate? Is that still happening?
I remember that there was a debate last time; which mostly consisted of Humpheria making valid points while Condealism was boasting about his plans to destroy us all (He actually got votes!).
Condealism, Reagamerica
Sounds like one of this years republican debate...

If I'd insulted our allies during my speeches and disguised my campaign under the guise of "making Libertatem great again", I'd have all of you eating out of the palm of my hand.

I reckon Right-Winged Nation has earned himself a landslide victory...
Can we get some platforms from the candidates?

My cabinet:
Vice President: [nation=short]Condealism[/nation]
Internal affairs: [nation=short]Muh Roads[/nation]
Military Affairs: [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation]
Attorney General: [nation=short]Right-Winged Nation[/nation]
Chief of Staff: [nation=short]Blaine-Paleto County[/nation]
Any nations here who object to being a member of my cabinet?
None at all from me, I'm honored.
Candidate Reagamerica, I did not ask to be on your Cabinet, nor am I willing to be.
You see, citizens of Libertatem, I would like to formally announce my retirement. (Again. Long story.) On the first day of the next term, I not only seek to be free of any governmental duties, but also removed from the citizens register; once that's done, I'll move this nation elsewhere. I've been holding your hands for far too long, and it is no longer necessary for me to stifle the next generation of liberty-minded thinkers and ideologues.
To those who are worried you'll never see me again, fear not; you can contact me anytime, preferably at my main nation, [nation=short]Conservative Idealism[/nation], within the IRU. Speaking of the International Republican Union, I'm still willing to be your ally, and my resources remain at your disposal - it's simply that I no longer wish to dictate any of your affairs.
Except, perhaps, for one last thing: I hereby renounce the War on Communism. (Again. Long story.) I'm proud to have served with the Libertatem military, and it is not the defense of our allies nor the rebellion against totalitarian conquest that I call into question - my chief concern is that we have spent the last three years attempting to justify a directive dedicated to the culling of the titular ideology's practitioners. I understand there are some of you who still desire retribution and cite one particular group as the source of your woes; however, this vendetta is utterly pathetic during times of peace and needlessly vitriolic during times of war, and I feel you've let it get in the way of the pursuit of this region's core identity. Our devotion is to liberty, not to revenge nor to any sort of duty to eradicate leftist thought. It's time we act like it.
I've said my piece (and/or peace). God bless.
Holding our hands?
Y'know, holding each of you by the hand. Pitching in, guiding you, handling foreign affairs and whatnot.
Remember when you suddenly flipped a landslide around by saying pretty much this same thing?
Good times, man. Sad to see you finally and totally leave 'Tatem. You've been here forever, and I've been here forever, too, so I know what forever is.
See you around, brah. T'was good.
Humpheria, Rateria, Condealism
That was kind of an insulting good bye speech Con. Real talk.
Humpheria, The United States Of Patriots
What do you mean by that?
"I am big strong right libertarian and I am done being your babysitters, small younglings. I have held your hands for too long and I'm going back to my other region. Don't appoint me to anything and take my name of that citizenship list. I'm OUT!" - Condealism 2k15
The United States Of Patriots
Whole lotta 'you's' and 'I's' in that. After all this time to get that kind of rashness is shocking to say the least, if not offensive. I'm sorry, but I have served on every single Cabinet since Snabagag and I hold the record for most terms of Chairman of the Board. I wrote two international treaties, created a judicial system from scratch, and was elected to President twice. I'm kind of the expert at goodbye speeches at this point and taking a mightier-than-thou approach wrought with condescension is not the best way to go.
Miencraft, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots
Your expertise is noted; if that is how you feel, then perhaps it is for the best that I'm leaving.

Miencraft, Muh Roads
I'm sure we're all enjoying watching CL being razed to the ground? How come REATO never helped CL..? Hmmm?
Well, my apologies Condealism, I'll take you off...
Okay... We all happy with this?
Muh Roads
Not my call, send more dog gifs.
We have an active founder, who will soon move into action, but we need assistance asap.
You will not that we did not have any military leaders on since last night.
All WA nations are ordered to the Conservative League to endorse the Dark Co.mander until their founder is once again in command.

[Spoiler=issue]The Issue
A well-heeled lobby group is pushing for the elimination of regulations that prevent corporations from donating money to political parties.
The Debate
"This is supposed to be a democratic country," Tourism industry spokesperson Akira Dimitrov says. "Yet these archaic laws say I can't donate money to support a political party. They put ceilings on the amount any party can spend on advertising. It's time to stop treating voters like children, and trust them to make up their own minds. Free the ballot box!"
Accept
"You say political freedom, I hear vote-buying," says popular anarchist Jessica Bald. "If these fat cats get their way, politicians will buy their own seat in Congress. And let's face it, a slick advertising campaign can convince a lot of apathetic voters. We need to tighten the laws, not repeal them. Money should have no place in politics!"
Accept
[/spoiler]
I want to choose option 2 but I feel it may be too over-authoritative. Any ideas folks?
Well you know how it is on NS, either decision's affect will be overly exaggerated. I think option 2 is a bit too over-authoritative, but option 1 could lead to corruption.
Rateria, Condealism, Teuberland
Hasnt been an issue for you up till now right? Dismiss it. One less thing for the government to get mixed up in and cause horrible unintended consequences.
Like my perfectly middle of the road decision to split the choice between mining and saving the rain forest.
Now i have a barren landscape and my national animal has to sift through trash for food.

Everything has been returned to normal on our end. Feel free to move back.

Hey, when are we going to get the Law of Libertatem reactivated?
Right now.

Someone with WFE access needs to update it then. I mentioned it because I wanted to translate the WFE into Spanish, but my CP crashed while I worked on the department links, and I thought "Eh, I'm done here."

might as well libertize as many things as I can, I can't have my kid being an authoritarian.
Miencraft, Rateria, Teuberland
Santa Claus is an individual who, with his elf employees, volunteers his free time to help others. He doesn't make people believe in him, nor does he force participation in Christmas, but does it for the enjoyment.

But proudly accepts milk and cookies as donations. Is also a judgemental prick who leaves those who he feels have behaved in a naughty manner less desirable gifts of carbon.
Rateria, Teuberland
In that case, I want to be put on the naughty list; free coal!
Miencraft, Muh Roads, Rateria, Teuberland
*In sterotypical redneck voice* Why do we even celebrate santa? He is an illegal immigrant who crosses our boarders and steals all of our cookies. Then he gives out freebies like the american people are on welfare. We need to celebrate Jesus!!!! Not this illegal liberal anti-christ!!!!

When it came to Santa, I was a dodgy little child. Instead of serving him milk, I'd make a banana milkshake. One year I was so desperate to meet Santa I put sleeping pills in the milkshake, funnily enough I found my mother fast asleep next to the table where I left the milkshake. Who would've thought?
Rateria
I guess some of you may wonder why I came from a fascist region. I liked fascism, but I felt it's totalitarianism was unfair on the people. I was then considering becoming a socialist, but I felt it couldn't work in real life. So I came towards libertarianism, I felt it was free, and it could work. It's a perfect ideology, and that is why I'm here.
