Region: Libertatem
Cool flag!
Hello, everyone! Im a libertarian from Texas and fairly new to this game. My nation is inspired by Icelands early libertarian roots.
After looking around at several regions, I found this one and thought it would be good to try out, since it appears to be fairly active! The last one I was in was too quiet, and the first was too busy!
Anyway, I hope to become more involved here as I continue to figure out this game. Right now, all I am doing is answering the issues to further develop my country. If anyone can tell me what else there is to do around here, Id appreciate it!

Welcome! I am relatively new here too, but it looks like a very nice region so far.
Lol, I don't know dutch history
I don't either, I just play EU4.

Welcome, new guys. I'm guessing my recruitment TGs got you here?

Welcome! I'm Icelandic myself and I know a bit about our history. If you have any questions feel free to telegram me. Also, please join our Discord server because that is where most of the activity takes place!

Personally, I searched for the region. First I found was the Capitalist Paradise, but I decided to move here after. I don't know why, it just "clicked". But I am sure that your recruitment TG is great too, and that I would have been here instantly if I had received one :)

Hello. I have heard that you guys once were at arms with the communist alliance?
No idea what you are talking about.

You should, the Dutch history is great! I can tell, because I live there and teach history haha.
Especially the period they call the Golden Age around the 16th and 17th century is very interesting, which is also the period of The Dutch Republic.
It's a beginning, but definitely not everything.

"Laws and Information" now points to a special directory factbook, rather than to SecRep's factbook page. That's because for some insanely stupid reason, nations can only have 25 factbooks, but can have an unlimited number of other dispatches, so since SecRep is about to run out of factbook space, we need a better way to organize dispatches for future laws. That's what the directory is for.

If anybody has some free time, would they like to look at my "Government Operations" factbook entry and give me their opinions on it? It's a working project, but I'm trying to convey an ideal Minarchist state.
Rateria
A small price to pay for the succes the Dutch Republic had. But you're right, at some point there were too many wars going on and the other colonial powers gained their power back.

In Spain we study spanish history XD
I would be very much amazed if Spanish history was not taught in Spain.
Rateria, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth, The First Islands, Libertarian New Hampshire
Spanish history is incredibly inquisitive. I would have to say that its possibly one of the most prominent culture centers of Europe. Its interesting how I have Spanish decent mixed with my obvious Celtic decent. XD

The Dutch and the Spanish have an interesting history together. And however it is all a very long time ago, the Dutch still sing about the Spanish in their national anthem.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.
Translated it says:
A prince am I undaunted,
Of Orange, very fearless,
To the king of Spain I've granted
A lifelong loyalty.
These lyrics were written in the year 1570, and after 80 years of wars for freedom from the Spanish and almost 500 years later, we still sing in our national anthem that we honour that Spanish King. Amazing how something like this still can be relevant.

The Senate of the Second Republic of Libertatem has ratified the Global Liberty Alliance Treaty.

Respectfully, please, no. The US did just fine for over 150 years without an official national anthem, Every region, organization and individual could choose freely from an ever expanding and growing list whether "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "America the Beautiful," "Coumbia (The Gem of the Ocean)," or "Yankee Doodle" among many others. The haste of Congress to pass an official National Anthem because of an article in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" in the 1930s was controversial and divisive. Also, God Bless America was quickly becoming a popular favorite at sporting events except in certain places where its main opposition was merely that it was written by a Jew (to which many thought that such was enough for Federal intervention). When I was a kid the old folks in my town still had their preferences and for most it was not the Star Spangled Banner (which Congress only passed the 1st, 2nd, and 4th stanzas as the Anthem, and declined the 2nd and 5th btw).
While I like nearly all Patriotic songs (I'm Proud To Be an American is not one of them), the notion of freedom of choice for each generation to rally in anthem is preferable. The Battle Hymn of the Republic is the greatest hymn to come out of the Ante-bellum South imnsho, and the irony of it being used as a rallying cry for the North is not lost (nor is the fact that "Dixie" was written by a Yankee). The description of the Southern Revival at the tail of the Second Great Awakening recorded in the song is stirring and resounding for the cause of Liberty and freedom of conscience for all people everywhere.
However, I would humbly ask that you reconsider Libertatem having an official anthem and merely cite it as a favorite among many freely chosen to rally to the cause of Liberty.

The amazing thing to me are the different national perspectives. The Spanish insist that they sank the HMS Victory at Trafalgar; but the Victory is still afloat in the Royal Navy as a museum ship. Who is correct? Are the Spanish mistaken or did the Brits pull a fast one and dispense a similar 104 gun ship as the Victory? The world may never know... :)

"Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain!" is another example of that kind of stuff. Except that the US pretty much just lied about the Maine, but still sorta the same thing.

I wouldn't say we lost. We gained Guam, the future penal colony where they'll send all the sane people.
Rateria
Yeah, that one didn't really go your way lol. Remember when America actually won wars?

Oh wait, is he Spanish?
Rateria, Libertarian New Hampshire
Yep. I was gonna type a long-ass reply about how the US most certainly didn't lose the war... but yeah he's Spanish.

The American expansion strategy:
1. Want land
2. Ask for land
3. Deal refused
4. Agitate until they declare war on you
5. Win war
6. Gain land, pay a bit of money in return
Rateria, Libertarian New Hampshire
Also called imperialism
Rateria
them damn whiteys
If step 3 is Deal Accepted:
4. Practically steal the land anyways because it was so cheap
5. Make fun of the guy who bought it because it's a bunch of useless land in the middle of nowhere
6. Learn the land is filled with oil and gold
7. Infinite profit
8. Russians are mad forever

In light of some opposition to an anthem, I will be revising the executive order to list it as a favorite rather than the favorite. An anthem should be supported by all, not just merely the majority.

You could also go the pre-civil war route where you:
1. Import people to be slaves
2. Realize this is bad
3. Ship some of them back home
4. Create a future 3rd world country that will be stuck in poverty

I am not at all a fan of Chris Christie. However, you have to admit that his tenure is a great example of how to successfully govern a blue state as a Republican and still be able to accomplish things.
