I have only one thought after reading the announcement of the President's re-election campaign (which we were promised would not occur) I have only one thought: I am really upset that the Patriots won the freaking Super Bowl.

Europe has seen the rise of the far-right before and it did not end well. We must take these movements seriously because if people feel they're being left behind by the established orders of their countries, they vote for people like Trump.
I am just glad that in my own country of Scotland, there is no right-wing movement endangering us. The right-wing danger comes from the UK Government. Luckily we Scots have a get-out clause. It's a matter of whether or not we use it.

I never promised that I would not run. I said that I wasn't planning too. Guess this is a change of plans.
A change perhaps but one that I'm sure none of us are surprised about.

I am glad that you are not surprised about it :)
Shame on Lat for exercising his democratic right to stand for office. Doesn't he know that rights should bend to the behest of populist sentiment?
Shaaaame.

If that's serious, I wouldn't mind at all. I would support that.

I would too.
By this point I just want to get a Vistonian presidency, but I'll happily to take a Penguanian one instead.

Hey fellas,
Well elections are coming so I wanna make a remark about my first term and how I see things for my second term.
I would ask people not to judge me too harsh since I want to speak things as I feel them, coming right from the bottom of my heart.
During my first term, I can really say that I've had an amazing experience working with the people I've worked with and fighting with the people I've fought with. This amazing journey is coming to it's end and now I am looking to be re-elected again and serve once more as your President.
Of course it's not gonna be easy as shots have already started being fired by certain individuals but it is alright.
All I can say is that folks got to be realistic about all of this. What do I mean?
Well, I guess that all I mean is that I am not sorry, about pretty much everything that have done in region. Some people said that I have insulted certain individuals in the HoD and the HoD as a whole.
Well yes I have, I am not denying that. I am also glad that I have done that. Because I have refused to act and do whatever certain individuals have asked me to do. In fact, I have insulted them and their image as much as they have insulted mine. So pretty much it's an eye for an eye right here, I guess.
Some people have told me that "Dude you're the President you're not supposed to talk like that"; "Dude you're the President you're not supposed to act like that". People have been constantly asking be to be something that I am not and do things that I don't. And one of the things that I am not good at doing is settling down for less. (Ding Ding campaign message - I know). Others have been sending me feedback and images by their private conversations with others and some of them have been constantly warning me to be careful of Kalaron and Sully. To be careful of Bearlong and Humpheria and on and on. But none of them have realized a really simple fact about me.
I am not playing this game in order to be controlled or heavily buried with all the sh*t people wanna throw on me. I am not playing the game to suffer any drama people want to include me in. Damn, I am not even playing the game because anyone is paying me to do so.
I am a simple man from Greece, with great experience as it comes down to management, community and politics. By being the President here, it doesn't mean that I will give up from my freedom of speech because some people dictate me to do so. Nor it means that I will shut up allowing others to go on and on with all the stupid things they have to say about me.
By all means, I am informing everyone that I am not running to be the most liked person of this community. I refuse to be someone's puppet or another President that stayed for two months and did absolutely nothing.
I am reaaaally proud about my administrations good work. We've worked quite a lot to get the region where it is today. Making the Interior and Foreign Affairs work perfectly has been one of my ambitions since the first day I stepped into the CFN. I am really proud about the fact that I made my team and your government feel truly as a team. We've had people working together and also we've included our citizens in our talks about reforming our region.
Opening embassies and starting negotiations with regions such the pacifics, europeia and more is not something easy to do. Yet I used my connections and my experience in making this work. Currently we're working on some project ideas with the South Pacific and many more.
Negotiating with Raiders and taking back a region is not something easy to do. One small mistake can be fatal for the fate of a region. Yet we've succeeded giving Genuan Rebirth it's freedom back.
Making the Interior a serious Ministry and fast on it's responses was not easy to do as well. I was behind pretty much all of the things that each Ministry has done for the region and it's people. Have I done these things because I was forced to? No. Have I done all of these because I was controlled by a superior power? No. I have done all of these because I love the people of this community and I want what's best for our region. Of course I don't love all of the people around here, but well, that's life.
I gave not only the freedom to my Ministers to work, but I've given them my help, my dedication and my support in all they did. And I don't regret the fact that some of our decisions were not supported that much. None of our decisions has been wrong. They came after mature thoughts and much discussion.
So what I am trying to say is, that I am not obligated to speak or act as some people want me to act. I have refused to run a bullied cabinet. Because if I would allow that to happen, you could all forget the words "progress and regional unity" around here. If I would allow people to bully me or my team, in both external and internal levels, our region would have suffered the worse cabinet ever, let's not say more than just that.
No, I've runned a successful cabinet that was never praised for it's good work, but was always in the eye of the storm by certain individuals for any small technical mistake. I am not sorry about that either.
Every institution in our region even the House of Delegates and it's members are responsible for the fate of our region. And they are responsible as much as I am.
So what I can promise about my second term is that it is time that all of our institutions start acting like it. In a respectful and kind way not just between them, but between our people as well.
Hm, what else? I guess you've voted for a proud President who doesn't give up on his rights or his people. Being a proud person means that problems will arise but that's not necessarily wrong. I am know for making things happen.
Once again I am not running or playing this game to be liked by everyone. There are people that like me and there are people that dont. I am playing the game and I am running for my own fun. Because I take pride on everything good I do.
If that's enough for you folks, then I would be more than honored to receive your vote and your support as my office has always been open...actually my TG's and my PM's have been always open for you. As I have said what you send to me, stays with me.

Part of me hopes that Trump becomes a tyrant and does horrible things. I fear that is the only way people will learn from their mistake.
Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania
To give some sorely needed context on some of Lat's statements, people telling him how to act could be from two situations.
The first situation involved him taking the failing Ministry of information and culture act, and integrating it in directly by making them subdivisions of the MoI. Everyone who was online -including his own minister of Foreign affairs and the Chief Justice- proceeded to ask him not to and noted how immoral it was regardless of it's legality.
The second involved him insulting Humph in the President's office, telling him to mind his own business as well as calling him "Salty".
Yukona then commented by politely asking him to retract his statement since it wasn't fitting of the President to be so rude to a delegate of the House.
As for his statement about insulted the HoD only after being insulted...I've no clue.
I know that he has twice stated that the HoD only voted a certain way due to a bias against him -Once stating that they'd all voted for Humph and refused to give him a chance (this came after he had stated his intent to bypass the house on the Ministry of Information bill) and a second time due to me making "propaganda" about his bill being evil.- and he's insulted Humph...beyond that there are no other contexts to add.
Finally, Lat didn't -as far as my memory goes- actually negotiate for the release of GR. He invited the Leftenant to the Discord, and from there I spoke to the Grand Leader to get their forces to leave, relaying to the Leftenant his orders.
Juat giving some context.
Yukona
Beautiful speech^_^
I'd rather settle for stability and decent governance.

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
It was okay. Didn't do sightseeing because I was in Berlin several times before. The reason I was in Berlin is that I was at the World Money Fair.

I hope you'll be preparing at least a little more information than that later on in your campaign, unless we have the evilest region ever, I haven't been seeing any tyranny or corruption :D
Alas, all my careful cultivation is finally paying dividends!
Or we just have such able tyrants that we don't even know that we're being subjected to tyranny!
I've known, though. I've been toppling statues since I got here. Fact.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Can't topple mine
Oh wait, all the statues were blown up :p
Penguania And Antarctica
Good luck for me. There isn't even a statue of mine
Pirate Kingdoms, Yukona
I want a statue of me knocked over. Why have you not done so yet?
Jaslandia
Are you sure I haven't? I feel like I have.
I definitely already toppled yours, Peng. I think it was over a delayed DIP or something.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Sorry Sul, it was actually Kal. Get you two mixed up from time to time.
Jaslandia
It's still there, in the square south of the House of Delegates. Me with my pet Leopard Seal and Dove triumphing over imperialism in the region. I would know it's still there, a lot of pidgeon poop adorns my face.
Penguania And Antarctica
Oh?
Me and him are quite different. For various reasons.
Nations like my own, bro
After your trip, that makes sense. Hopefully you can get some rest.
Penguania And Antarctica
Wasn't aware I had a statue tho. But seems it doesn't matter anymore.
Unfortunately I have an exam tomorrow. So not much rest.
Jaslandia
Sorry to hear that. After your exam, perhaps?
Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah, probably.
Jaslandia
Yeees. "Pigeon". *shifty eyes*
Jaslandia
There is in Kalaron :P
Also, just gonna say why Vista is a great candidate.
Dude made mistakes in the CFN, we all recall that "Is Discordium a good name" mess, but he's got a good heart and a listening head on his shoulders.
I think Unf gives the best support though -We had asked him to run- "I appreciate it, but the region is too young, it needs a hands-on and active leader and right now I can't provide that. I would recommend Vista. For all his crackpot schemes, the guy has a good head on him and he listens to feedback"
I ain't saying Vis is perfect, but he's the type of guy to judge someone's statement by it's content rather than it's origin.
LMFAO!
Is Discordium a good name though?
No
It's the worst name I ever did dun saw.

Thank you but I have no interest in dealing with that.
May ask you a question ? Why do you keep caring for stuff nobody else is caring for anymore ? That's not an offense but I made the observation that you are mostly the only one to whom stuff ,that is ages old, matters. Why can't you let things which are over be over ?
Thanks in advance.
(I know those are more than one question)
Continental Commonwealths
Okay, but you're not actually contacting members of that community, right?
Even if we parted with Ru and that region on less than favourable terms, we shouldn't be interfering with them getting up and going now that we're gone, no?
Jaslandia, Yukona
Judging by the RMB, something has happened
(i'm new)
Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
Sup my dude, link to the Discord is on the WFE if that's your jam, you'll settle in fine
Well no, I am indeed talking to two people.
If he'd gone ahead and just started setting up shop again then I wouldn't care, but the point where he decided making stuff up about the history of the region was fair game was also the moment that I decided to talk to them.
I don't quite know what you mean, but I'll admit to having a long memory with regards to how the people of this region are treated.
And besides, I don't quite believe I'm the only one who cares, but hey *shrug*
Like I said, the point he lied about us was when I turned into a less scottish Nurem.
(whats the WFE?)
World Factbook Entry, it's the thing you see at the top of the region's page containing all the information about ministers, etc.
Jaslandia
Welcome I am Tserra, but everyone seems to call me Tse now. Although I used to be known as Rev for multiple reasons, none of which are immediately pertinent.
How are you? Tell us about yourself. Do you like pie? What about cheesecake? Deep fried pizza?
Jaslandia
I happen to agree, but I'd like to hear from Kal regarding their accusation that he's contacting members of that community as they could be lying. Seems a strange lie, but anything is possible.
All the same, we have our own community now and I think for the sake of our own regional reputation and the fact that we aren't so petty as to hold a grudge that compels us to interfering with our old region now that we've established something successful here, I don't think we should be messaging members of the MSRM so as to disavow them of Ruclax's interpretation of those events. We'll only come across as sh!t disturbers who are holding an innane grudge.
(i don't need to if i want to)
I totally agree, there's nothing good that will come out of trying to contact them or intervene.
Continental Commonwealths
I'm sure you exactly know what I mean.
(no thanks, i'm here to roleplay:))
Kal, for the sake of nothing more than maturity, let Ruclax rule the MSRM and convey the region's history as he wishes within his own region.
People in this world are going to misrepresent you and your actions. There are times to correct them and there are times to rise above. This is 100% the latter.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Not sure I agree, but I'll consider your words.
Not exactly, no.
If we're just talking the usual stuff, that's more because of how it affected people around me.
Let us all care for our own businesses and don't stick our noses in other peoples businesses.
Continental Commonwealths, Yukona
Don't worry. He'll mess up soon enough and his voters will be the first to suffer. Then and only then will they learn that their actions have consequences. Or they might suffer yet support him regardless.
Well for a start his economic/trade policy will only the costs for the average American worker.
Let them figure that one out on their own. Though when they become unemployed I am sure they will blame immigrants or liberals. Anyone but their orange messiah.
Yukona
If that actually happens, the Hitler comparison gets stronger.
Back in WW2, during the last days in Germany when the Allies were liberating the camps, the citizens would often claim that Hitler hadn't known about them and that it had been Gobbels -or anyone else- instead.
Nuremgard
It's unfortunate that Ru is spreading lies about us and the exodus/exile, but I see no reason for us to get involved. We can grumble among ourselves about it, but let's avoid getting involved with Ru and his bunch again.

The difference between Trump and Hitler is that the latter had some intelligence.
Aldaur
"The primary nations behind the failed coup were called Mercanovus and Humpheria. Two of their key henchmen were Bearland and Jasland."
Although admittedly, I do find the idea that I was a 'key henchman' in this 'cabal' to be pretty laughable. I've never been a 'henchman' in anything, let alone some sort of regional cabal. I didn't even get actively involved until the very end, but I digress.
Continental Commonwealths, Tserra
Hardly, Trump just started further along the crazy scale than Hitler did.
Kinda sad they didn't implicate me in this. Being part Jewish I woulda thought I'd have a knack for being behind global conspiracies
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Hitler's craziness was ideologically driven and had some twisted logic behind it. Trump's just a f*cking idiot who is winging it.
Aldaur
You're not wrong on this. People actually have, although it was never made public.
Not really necessary to say the latter if it was made in private, was it?
I just want to know what he means.
Yup.
Aldaur, Yukona
I see no reason why not to say it also? Especially when it has to do with the involvement of members of ours in the electoral process of other regions.
I'll rip him a newer one
Humpheria Major
If complaints were made to you in private there's no reason to lambaste the individual on the RMB for all to see with intentionally vague comments in order to, for want of a better word, stir sh*t. As President, I would expect you to, at the very least, appreciate that as much as Kal may be interfering in their region, you have the decency to respect the privacy of our own residents as much as we should respect theirs.
Jaslandia, Humpheria Major
Sooo, we're just going to ignore that time we were initiated into an amateur gang together and pretend that we don't have a cute story of how we helped one another overcome it?
Okay Jas, ignore our shared past. That doesn't hurt at all.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Tserra, Yukona
It ain't electoral interference regardless?
At most I'm telling them the actual events that happened, not recommending anything towards elections or anything.
Yukona
Honestly I wish I knew what I did in a coup so that I could take credit for it, but apparently I was instrumental.
Jaslandia
I like how I literally started the secession. First to publicly leave. Hell I literally posted my secession, and moved to this region moments before Ru banjected me, and I seem to be completely devoid of mention. I am hurt. My honor has been attacked.
