Region: Libertatem
You're lucky I finished eating dinner, or I'd have to throttle you for ruining my appetite.
At least you didn't watch it...
Any difference between the seats?
Only the people running for them.
I will be running for Seat Four.
Pick a political party ?
Seat 1: Yrellian Confederacy v Pevvania
Seat 2: Humpheria v Funkytopia
Seat 3: Rotgeheim ? v Actum
Seat 4: Right-winged nation ? v Shermaniya
Seat 5: The Neo-Confederate States of America ?
RLP
Come on...
If I'm right Right winged nation is still in the RLP too...
This is truly one of the most awesome times to be alive....

ACOP, man... It's the way to go!
Rotgeheim just had his wisdom teeth pulled
It's either RLP or Non-partisan.
My flag is now Legit
Your flag is now anarcho-capi-comunist
I am also making an Anarcho-Communist Anarchic-Capitalist Flag which features both flags.
(FYI, that ideology would make no sense.)
Sure it would.
Anarchy, that is also communist, and also capitalist?
Yes!
See it's more of a An-Cap An-Com cooperation thing since both want the end of a government. Thus this flag symbolizes the fact they should work together to accomplish this goal.
I see.
Then the government falls, and they begin furiously stabbing each other in the face.
Yep!
And I laugh and tell them that all this didn't happen when we had a government.

Oh yeah totally. (Voice dripping with sarcasm)
Oh yes. I'm Deseret. Social Libertarian, Foreign Non-Interventionist and in Favor of Minimal Economic Intervention.
I swear, most of what NASA does these days is post funny looking charts and facts in order to get more money. Boy, they really are desperate these days.
I wish they were on our side, I really do. But in reality most "an"coms are either criminal thugs or statist hypocrites that care more about getting rid of the patriarchy than killing the state.
I am the very model of a Libertatem President
Throughout our region's history, I've been a long-term resident
I've written legislation dating back to times Imperial
And founded many ventures, both long-lasting and ethereal
I'm somewhat well acquainted, too, with doctrine left-collectivist,
free-market, voluntaryist, anarchic, and Objectivist
In tag raids I've joined merrily; and infiltration, plunged headfirst
Since I won't suffer tyrants, nor neglect to save those they've coerced
Throughout my trials and travels I've accumulated great respect
(Yet I'm a controversial choice for your new President-Elect)
While I concede, without a doubt, I've been a patchy resident,
I'm still the very model of a Libertatem President
The more mature ones actually understand the ideology, but a lot of Anarcho-Communists don't.
That's totally fine. What that means is that your race will be a primary. A primary is something that we haven't done in quite awhile. How it works:
- The party leader decides if it is open or close
- Open means everyone votes
- Closed means that only approved members of that party vote
- Votes are sent to the party leader regardless
- Winner is announced and becomes the "[party name] Nominee", if no one else was in the race, he automatically wins the general as an unopposed candidate
- They are very fun and the RLP can boast that they are the only party big enough to ever have to do that.

See Anarcho-Communists could technically survive in an Anarcho-Capitalist Society. They would have plenty of supporters, but they need to be voluntary supporters. An Anarcho-Communist society can't survive without being completely voluntary.
Sounds good
That's beautiful...
Many song parodists wish they could tackle Gilbert & Sullivan. :P

Also, Please Put Led Zeppelin's version of "Over the Hills and Far Away", not Gary Moore's
Fun fact: they're actually two totally different songs, not different versions of the same.

New article up in the newspaper. I will post it here for you non-NS++ users.
End of An Era
Humpheria, 18th December 2014
December 18th marked the end of an era. Fourteen months of a Reaganist Presidency. Starting with Pevvania taking the position from President Snabagag, moving to the landslide election of President Humpheria and his resignation short thereafter, to the inauguration of his Vice President Miencraft, the Reaganist Libertarian Party has been a staple of Libertatem for a very long time.
Now, as an Anti-Corporatist takes the office after running on a "whim" and taking up a popular issue, many are left wondering, what's next for the RLP?
Well, I sat down with the Reaganist Libertarian Party Political Director, Humpheria.
"Well, ya know, it would be easy to assume that not that one of our close political allies from an allied party has taken the office that we will just shrivel up and die. many are even calling it an end of an era. This is false. Starting in January, we are going to have four out of five members of the President's cabinet in the RLP, in December, we had a 4-1 super majority on the Board. Starting in January, we are proud to say that we will try out the role of the opposition party for once. We have been preparing a platform shake-up for months, we will begin the process of conducting closed primaries, we will start a progressive recruitment campaign and we will be staging public policy debates."
When asked about his thoughts on the election, he replied:
"I am saddened, to say the least. I have worked with President Miencraft since before there was an elected Board, and he has always been my right hand man. Nobody likes to lose, but it stings worse when the punch comes from behind. Conservative Idealism has always been a great guy and I am glad to call him a friend, but I will never be able to reconcile his election with him. I will continue to work with him, but there will always be that elephant now."
Following some comments made by the Political Director immediately following the election's conclusion, I inquired about the April Presidential Elections:
"Oh yeah, we're coming in force to the April gathering. We, as an opposition party, will have an advantage that got Conservative Idealism into power, we won't be the incumbent. I don't know who will be our guy yet, we will hold a convention to ensure that our absolute best goes up, we're going to come out of the gate swinging. It will be an election to remember if we have anything to say about it."
The President-Elect Conservative Idealism, leader of the Anti-Corporatists, had this to say:
"I'm pleased to see how far the Reaganist Libertarian Party has come. I remember the day when I agreed to merge a political party I had created with Pevvania's - were someone from the future to tell me, on that day, that the RLP would become the uncontested majority party for a whole 14 months, I never would have believed it. I hope that the Anti-Corporatist Party will reach a similar level of prominence during my Presidency and be a worthy rival to the region's paragon of tradition and freedom."
Where does the Reaganist Libertarian Party and the region move from here? Time will only tell.
Holy frug,
Libertatem has become a two party state...
Considering ACOP overtook the RLP in terms of the number of Board positions filled during early October, it wasn't all that surprising. I just didn't think it would happen under these circumstances.
Those days are over. We got da board now son.
Fun fact: Non NS++ guys can actually read any newspaper directly from the NS++ site.
You just need to know what its ID is, and ours happens to be #582.
Here's a direct link, even.
https://nationstatesplusplus.net/newspaper?id=582
It was an unlikely event, true, but I trust that the recent election will have renewed the people's interest in ACOP.
Is no one going to question that I just wrote an entire article interviewing myself?
To be honest, I considered it.
Hey all,
I had surgery today and I'm basically incapacitated. I'm on some pretty heavy medication and it's rendered me inoperable. I'm lucky enough that right now I'm in a lull between dosages and can type this out. I should be back in a few days. Thanks for understanding.
See you soon,
Rotgeheim
Damn son,I hope you get better.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Rotgeheim. Take care.
No, it's well written, I like it. And after all, anybody knows that libertarians are often affected by Schizophrenia.
I wish you a speedy recovery bro'
Wisdom teeth pulled^

Calm yo ass down Fugly McGee. I promise you it is not that serious. Damn. Just tryna chill when homeboy get jumpy like a goddamn speedy Gonzales.
9 to 6. I have the people of this region to thank for such an incredible (and unexpected) victory.
My bad. My urban got out. That doesn't happen often , I swear.
7 to 6. Don't get presumptive.
Yr begs to differ, but I'm astonished all the same.
No, he said 9 first. 7 was the final.
Nope 9 was the final result.
Would have been the final had President Miencraft not approved Kanat and Cherm for citizenship, but potato, potahto.
7 to 6 would have been the result if the three new citizens would not have been allowed to vote.
Wait a sec, isn't 9 minus 3 equal to 6, not 7?
Kanatistan didn't vote but he was also a new citizen.
Ah.
I should have said : " If the two new citizens voters didn't have their citizenship ".
Is Rotgeheim running?
Given that he's recovering from surgery, and has not expressed interest in maintaining the position, it would seem not.
There was complications and they had to cut into my jawbone. Don't be a bastard.
No. I'm not going to run again.
Ok. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Also, ConIdealism, I never congratulated you. So, Congratulations!
Thanks for clearing that up. We all wish you a speedy recovery, as Actum said.
Thanks, I've been getting that a lot for some reason :P
Awe man that sucks...
I wish you all the best with everything. I'll return as soon as I can. Good luck Actum, I doubt you'll need it if you're running against an empty seat though.
Ciao.
By my estimation, there are currently three contested seats.
Seat 1: Yrellian Confederacy v Pevvania
Seat 2: Humpheria v Funkytopia
Seat 3: Actum
Seat 4: Right-winged nation ? v Shermaniya
Seat 5: The Neo-Confederate States of America ?
RWN and NCSA, are you guys seeking re-election?
I'll be seeking reelection.
Excellent. RWN?

Yes. Want to run for a Seat in the next election?

Why elect President Pev to Board Seat 1?
+The best resume in the region. Two-term Manager of Military Affairs and three-term President. Re-elected in a 100% landslide, and then re-elected again with 87% of the vote. Created the modern political system, fought the commies, put the region back on the map, brought us the second-largest population expansion in history, etc.
+Good ideas and pragmatism. I will work with both the Chairman of the Board and President Idealism to make our region better. However, I WILL NOT support a piece of legislation that in any way violates the Constitution or erodes freedom without any other benefits.
+Accountability. I will stick to my principles at all times, but will also listen to my constituents to strengthen popular participation and give the people of the region a voice.
My opponent wishes to dismantle the part of our Constitution that literally created this region. To this, I say no. We will defend our region, our people and our Constitution until every last Bolshevik in the game is vanquished forever!

Thanks!
Very pleased at the clean campaigns run. No smearing, little criticising. Just self-promotion.
I'll run for seat 5
Seat 4 Debate:
Hello my fellow citizens. As a new citizen of this great region, this is my first time in a calm region not directly at conflict. Since January 7th, 2013, I have worked with great people in many regions, achieving the rank of Internal Affairs Director, Foreign Affairs Director, Immigration Director, Defense Director, Founder and WA Delegate, with many of those positions having served two or more terms. Earlier this year, I waged a war against Communal Earth and the occupied UCR, a force much bigger than my region (Chernobyl Union). After over a month of raids and conflict, as well as having my previous nation deleted, we were sucessful in restoring peace to the UCR. For regional security purposes, the CU and UCR merged during the summer to what is now Anti Authoritarian Alliance. With that, I infiltrated Das Kommune with a puppet (something I will not disclose, sorry Abdul) and successfully convinced Godless Munky and Communal Earth (Stalinists) to leave, making the region less authoritarian. I supporte the Pev administration and served as a spy for Libertatem while residing in the communist UCR. Today, I am a veteran Nationstater who understands politics and history, and specializes in constitutions and other legal documents. I am an unbiased person who is prepared to uphold the responsibility and privlidge of serving in Libertatem's legislature. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Aleksadr Groznoj
Shermaniyan Representative to Libertatem
The constitution is a worthless piece of paper that has done jack for maintaining freedoms in the real world as in this game.
/come at me
How awfully pessimistic. Ask yourself: why are healthcare and guns denationalised in America but under state control in most developed nations?
Extreme rurality, perhaps?
No. The Constitution has protected the rights of Americans for centuries.
Of course, it hasn't done a perfect job of it, but if you compare the US to France, or even Australia, the USA is pretty good for freedom.
Show me.
Why should you keep Yrellian Confederacy in place ?
1. My first term in the board was motivated only by the lack of running candidates, I saw it as a way to serve the region that I joined more than a year ago and I'm not attracted by power or politic in general.
2. After the beginning of my second term, uncontested, I realized that this region needed a new voice and a new breath, as the RLP came back in force in business, and I decided to try to embody that need.
That it the spirit of the political program of the RRP, a party cofounded by Actum and me, holding values of peace, cooperation, independence from supra-national organizations like the WA, dialog between ideologies instead of endless fight.
3. I like bacon.
4. The RLP's errors cost us a long-time alliance with TCB, people who fought with us against authoritarian commies invaders.
5. My opponent motivations for his comeback seem to be revenge, as he decided to run for the first time since he left presidency, probably because the RLP has been defeated during the recent presidential elections.
Moreover, his opposition against the repeal of article 8 are only motivated by the love that he has for a gone past.
But times change, many people are now very skeptical on the war on communism, and the conservatives, obsessed by a glorious past, don't want to see it despite their historical defeat few hours ago, it's time to send them a new message !
Support change, vote YC for seat 1.
"support change" says the incumbent.
