That's a rather unrealistic hope in a region called the Social Technocratic Union, wouldn't you agree?

Let's try not to double post too, hmm? There's an edit button on RMB messages in case you need to go back and add/change something. Otherwise it looks a lot nicer to wait until someone else posts to post again.

It's early for your nation, issues change things more wildly. Maybe choose less right wing answers :P

Russtopa has some unrealistic expectations for a “New York Times Democracy,” don’t you think?

Read the constitution to see how this region works. You'll find it here:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1303678

Fascism of any kind is explicitly not permitted in my region, or any other respectable place. I would very strongly advise you drop the memey idea and get involved in the community properly, learn the ropes, get to know people etc.

Edit: I'll double-down on the above advice given your history of random region hopping and asking to be elected leader. Settle in one place, get to know people, learn how the game works, and then maybe you'll be trusted with some level of power. This game isn't fun if you refuse to engage with places.

Hi everyone

I'm a new member and joined the social - technocratic union because I believe in the power of technocracy to propel society into the future. I also consider myself to be a centrist, because I hold leftist and rightist opinions/principles.

I still need to learn a lot about this game, so feel free to give me some handy advice!

Hope you all stay safe

I think the best advice I can give is that don't be afraid to dismiss issues you don't like. Also be careful about decisions which can make policies since it can take a lot of time if you want to revert that decision and they can screw you in the long run.

I'm still waiting for decisions which allows religion and gun control.... dammit.

Definitely worth it from the perspective of the region. Your nation won't be impacted in any significant way, and you'll get to vote on stuff in it.

Please join and endorse The Vanguard Fleet. We're in the middle of a delegate transition, and the more endorsements our delegate has, the greater our power and prestige on the international stage.

Term limits suck, and are pretty anti-technocratic. Imagine having the option to be ruled by the best possible person, but having some arbitrary nonsense like a term limit saying "nope, you gotta settle for something else." It's stupid.

What are everyone's views on Democracy? (apart from voting)

Neanian wrote:What are everyone's views on Democracy? (apart from voting)

Not positive...

The implied idea of democracy is that everyone's opinion is equal (with the one person, one vote doctrine). That's obviously... not reflected by reality, and ends up equating those who are well educated and well versed in politics with those who are dumb enough to genuinely believe stuff like "oh all the parties are the same anyway." So instead of rationally thought out worldviews being translated into government, you end up with random impulses, and usually tribalistic and illogical ones at that.

Democracy also generates the problem of that lot believing expertise is just another opinion, and not valuing it and deferring to it in a healthy way... i.e. stupid things like Brexit get voted for against all sensible advice by a majority who could only possibly lose out as a result.

Beyond even that, it generates short-sighted governance, as those elected only care about the span of time they're elected for, and playing up for potential re-election at whatever designated interval happens to exist.

Kharvilia

Neanian wrote:What are everyone's views on Democracy? (apart from voting)

Meh.

I want to like it, but an excellent argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter.

Imperium Of Josh

Yeah i agree with both of you. Democracy fails because peoples votes are counted as one and even the most powerful person in the state has limited control over people and their decisions.

The average person would often not take there candidate into consideration and if the sides are nearly even, it can cause a split in the country and then in turn deteriorating the state. But like Kennedy said "Democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us." Communists and National Socialists are much worse.

Does the Delegate control raiding other nations and countries or does the director?

And also, how does it work?

Technocratic Founder wrote:Ew voting. Also anti-technocratic.

not necessarily...there's plenty of ways that some democracy can be implemented to avoid power abuse. I could give some examples if you care enough to listen.

edit: I say SOME democracy because I recognize the massive flaws with traditional democracy as stated above

I believe democracy can work as long as the people are well educated and are informed and know about voting and how their vote affects the nation.

Neanian wrote:Does the Delegate control raiding other nations and countries or does the director?

The delegate has no independent political power in the STU. It also couldn't control raiding.

Neanian wrote:And also, how does it work?

Raiding works by using the game's WA mechanics to seize control of delegacies in other regions. The game checks who has the most endorsements every 12 hours, so peeps move in seconds before each update. The STU is not a viable raid target for anyone, because I'm an active founder and the delegate role has no permissions.
