Amateurs.
So, there are two cows in a field. One cow walks up to the other with beads of sweat running down his hide and say, "Man, I'm really worried. I'm sweating, I feel nauseous, and my head is spinning. I feel like I might have mad cow!"
The other cow looks up at him and says, "I don't know why you're telling me, guy. I'm a helicopter."

Request: Would someone try their best to convince me that a bigger government in America would be better please? I would also like some examples where the US government has run things very well, more so than a privatized version. I am as open minded as I ever will be at the moment, so liberals, take your shot.

Nuremgard, Aldaur
I love Seth MacFarlane. Tells it like it is.
Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland
Look no further than my own nation!
Minnesota Dakota, The United Providences Of Perland
In close collaboration with fellow co-founders [nation=short]Penguania and Antarctica[/nation] and [nation=short]Percyton[/nation], I am happy to officially announce the establishment of the Organization for Humanity, Optimism, Peace and Empathy.
As neutral nations committed to peaceful resolutions to all international conflicts, we founded the Organization for HOPE, or O-HOPE if you prefer, to serve as a means for neutral powers to collectively advance a message of peace and, with any luck, have their adherence to military non-interventionism recognized and respected by the international community.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
The Perlandian government supports HOPE heavily, and requests a hope office in Perlin, Perland. Sadly though, Perland is not afraid to use it's military to defend assets, but actively works on peace unless threatened.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
Jaslandia would be interested in joining as an observer. While we cannot pledge ourselves to complete neutrality, we are supportive of O-HOPE's principles and wish to see their neutrality protected.
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Would Perland, like Jaslandia, like to be considered as an observer? If so, I can put both your requests to vote at the same time.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
The government is only good at security, I'll give you that. Not much else.
No. It would be completely unfair to the rural states. Candidates would only focus on the big urban centers because more people live there, but then they would only focus on urban problems. Rural areas have problems unique to their own and also need to be addressed because they are just as important, if not more so. The Electoral College should be reformed so that instead of a FPTP system, each state has a proportional system that allocates votes based off of percentage. People who want to abolish the college don't understand why it is in place. Also, we are a republic, not a democracy. The popular vote should never matter, though I agree that the EC should have never elected Trump.

Hey guys if any of you are planning on attending the first global conference in CG please keep in mind that you have until tomorrow to post otherwise you'll have to miss it.
Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland, Magnatronia
Sure
Peace is the greatest goal one can achieve! I, too would like a HOPE office in Aldaur. We would love to foster a more stable and peaceful world. Aldaur is reorienting to defend others and ourselves.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
Sooo, you too would like to be considered for observer status?
Jaslandia, Aldaur
I remain a member of the ITF, but I would also like to have observer status in HOPE if that is possible.

Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland
Probably not, got more important things to do.
Absolutely. Signatories are expected to abide by the articles while observers are merely asked to respect the neutrality of signatories and their pursuit of peace.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Percyton
Agreed. I wish to apply for Observer Status in the hope to foster more peace around the globe.
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
I too am part of the ITF but would like observer status, if that's possible?
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
Perland is at DEFCON 4 (we on a 6-1 DEFCON scale) due to some aggression from [nation=short]Solla Ultima[/nation].
Aldaur, Oelesa
If possible, I would like to be listed as an observer within HOPE
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths, Yukona, Percyton
What was the act of aggression.
Aldaur
Solla Ultima is a Vassal State of The Most Serene Empire of Aldaur. All foreign policy matters regarding them must go through Aldaur.
Oelesa, Yukona
Solla had a bit of a scuffle with The Cross and Davids Star. Perlandian diplomats reported heated threats of conflict and are taking precautions.
Aldaur, Oelesa
Sounds good- I'll put your requests to a vote of the signatories. Thanks for your interest, everyone!
Jaslandia, Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
Let me guess, more nukes?
Solla Ultima
I need to get rid of Nuremgard's nukes.
All acts in regards to foreign policy committed by Solla Ultima are illegitimate and do not exist. All diplomacy goes through Aldaur, as he is a province of The Most Serene Empire. He is completely reliant on Aldaur for defense and diplomacy, so whatever threats or promises he makes are illegitimate and are to not be recognized. If you wish to deal with him, you must go through me. Thank you.
~ Imperial Bureau of Provincial Errors
Oelesa, The United Providences Of Perland
The Bureau is aptly named as it got the name of its own nation wrong. Most Serene Empire? Thought you were the Most Eternal Empire? :P
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Oelesa, Kalaron
What? We can't be serene too? :p We're also the Most Forbidden Empire, Most Celestial Empire and the Most Enlightened Empire :p
Jaslandia
You stole my pre-title! I had a country called the Enlightened Empire lol
Jaslandia, Aldaur
We're also the Most Spectacular Empire and the Most Original Empire lol
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Are y'all called the Imperial Provinces, too?
Jaslandia, Aldaur
You have no need to worry, my government apologizes for any misunderstanding.
Aldaur, Oelesa
Yes. And it was our idea! Everyone else who did it before us just went back through time and copied us from the future! :p
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Glad to see so much interest in HOPE/O-HOPE! I have high hopes (pun not intended) for this organization, and I look forward to working with the other nations to fulfil those hopes!
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Vista Major, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Hear hear!
And with that, I and my fellow co-founders are happy to announce that [nation=short]Aldaur[/nation], [nation=short]Andromitus[/nation], [nation=short]Jaslandia[/nation], [nation=short]The United Providences of Perland[/nation], and [nation=short]Yukona[/nation] are the first to be granted official observer status to the Organization for Humanity, Optimism, Peace, and Empathy!

Dont forget an inhumane state where humans who even think of something apart from the corporation are enslaved and are totally not gassed when people aren't looking.
Magnatronia
You mind if I put the application under the Free al-Qarn State (alternate government)?
Aldaur
As a member of O-HOPE, Percyton is willing to provide humanitarian aid to those affected by this war.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Not essentially Fascist....
And to think that buying all those tanks was a bad idea.
Aldaur, Yukona, Magnatronia
Could I sign up for observer status, as well?
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths, Yukona
As long as you have a map spot and a military factbook you can sign up with any nation name you like.
Aldaur, Oelesa
Yey

I've moved it to a vote- will let you know!

Oh, well that's unfortunate. I guess? I mean, honestly I don't see what the big deal is. I treat my law-abiding citizens very well. It's the riff-raff that we spit on.
So guys, I had an interesting idea for an RP. What if my head of state, Dr. Wily, fell in love with a foreign leader at the global conference, and as a way to start an official relationship with his new love interest, he ordered his body guards to find and kill his wife Emily?
Here's the kicker; Emily was the wife of Dr. Light, Dr. Wily's best friend and reluctant second-in-command.
When Light finds out that Wily killed his ex-wife, who was originally forced to leave him and marry Wily, he reprograms an experimental cyborg sniper to takeout Wily and his robot army. Essentially, it's a civil war that was spawned out of futuristic love-triangle.
That's awesome., buddy. :)

Greetings noble leader !
I have been appointed as ambassador by a majority vote referendum for the task of introducing Jotunheim Collective to our new region.
The various worker unions, research conclave and student associations of Jotunheim Collective, ever seeking the thrill of challenge and evolution, have decided to let go of the tradition of their previous (booooring) region.
Although this culture of technophilliac ingenuity has lead us from a broken economy to a powerhouse, this improvement has been made at the cost of individual civil rights, and that goes against the original mandate the Collective is about : A cyber and physical space where people can exerce their right to direct democracy. This can be felt in the very fabric of our culture, which has led us also to different degrees of addictions towards recreational drugs, social media and videogames, and those addictions can sometimes infringe on people's liberties.
We come here in order to move forward and evolve to a state where our collectivity can find balance with its environnement while assuring every individual opportunities to devellop their fullest potential and we seek all the guidance we can get to improve our civil rights.
