Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

Onocarcass wrote:My question kinda becomes what's more important. Style, or representation?

It depends. If the flag has specific symbols and iconography, like the current one does, then I think they should try to line up with the region in question. But if it's just colors or abstract symbols, I don't think you need to worry about it.

Interesting. Is the central logo a Chymyrtist symbol? I like it, but only complaint is that it seems to look too much like the Israeli flag.

Green could work. Maybe a darker green, but a light green could also work. I don't know, I'm not a vexillologist.

well, I don't know how it happened but my nation has been reclassified from "Left-Leaning College State" to "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy"

We began as a "Civil Rights Lovefest" and now here we are as a Centrist nation somehow... better get working at restoring all those civil rights and freedoms I unknowingly repressed

I unwittingly closed my borders when I rejected refugees in one of my other nations. My economy also got downgraded and unemployment increased. :(

I'm fine. I'm a manager at a deli. I was working on training one of our workers on the meat slicer. It was fine unitl... one of his idiot friends decided to jump around the corner and push me in an attempt to surprise me. I don't know how he failed to see me working on the slicer despite the fact that I trained him 20 min prior. Needless to say...he jumped onto me..my hand slipped...and...I lost most of my fingertip. Like an inch of my finger is shredded and sliced. He is fired btw.

Oh my goodness... Well, I hope everything will turn out okay. No infection or anything else, I hope.

And good, I would have fired him too back in the day when I was a manager. I nearly fired someone for just constantly handling sandwiches and food without gloves, and I did get one guy fired because he kept coming into work high. Slicing the manager's finger, especially over something so inane and stupid, should get the boot at the absolute least.

In Cesorion, it happens because I am a Conservative Liberal. That is classical Liberal, which shares some traits with conservatism

So basically you're socially liberal but economically conservative?

Wouldn't that basically be libertarianism?

Not necessarily. Libertarianism is having as little government as possible. Conservatives advocate for small government which is different.

Econmically Liberal, very liberal, and socially somewhat liberal

Cesorion wrote:Econmically Liberal, very liberal, and socially somewhat liberal

You say economically liberal, which means free market right? What would you call it with me then since I believe the state should play a role in the economy? I cant be an economic conservative as that's low taxes, low spending etc.

The word liberal has so many definitions in politics these days.

Agree with both

Edit:though I would not exactly call it with you. We have discussed it already I think

Politics in the UK has been great right now. We are watching May's government unravel before our very eyes. Brexit is going disastrously, ministers plotting against May who has zilch authority, ministers resigning, the sexual harassment scandals engulfing Parliament (especially Tory MPs) and the tax scandal.

It's the perfect storm. I love seeing this arrogant old crone taken down a few pegs.

I'm not keen on 2 and 3. You should change them.

The third one could be changed, but other than that, looks fine to me.

Well, the reason we call a process in which a nation frees up its markets “economic liberalization” because liberalism is an ideology that advocates free markets, limited government, and social equality.

When a nation’s government takes control of the economy, that is called nationalization. If you prefer nationalization, that makes you a state socialist. There’s not really a word for that other than saying “socially liberal, economically state socialist”.

I wouldn't even call many of Corbyn's policies socialist. They're sensible social democrat policies that are run of the mill in Europe. Even here in bonnie Scotland, the supposedly revolutionary Corbyn has failed to make any inroads because most of the policies he advocates have already been implemented up here by the SNP.

I think geography is irrelevant here. Most European countries are moderately sized or small. The reason why Corbyn is seen as so radical in England is because your political culture has been shifted so far to the right that uncontroversial policies that would be considered completely normal in most European leftist parties are seen as communist lunacy.

Britain has resources too. Unfortunately for Westminster, most of them are located in a part of the UK with a sizable secessionist population. ;)

Where'd you get those figures from? Your arse? The Treasury wont reveal what Scotland pulls in financially for the UK. If they did, it would result in a surge for independence.

Anyway, I read a comment earlier that was bang on the money. May warned us before the election not to vote Labour as it would result in a "coalition of chaos led by terrorist sympathisers." But the commenter noted that the country voted Conservative and got...a coalition of chaos led by terrorist sympathisers!

Why so offensive man, I got them off Wikipedia, there is no conspiracy theory that Scotland's economy is actually bigger - sure it'll have knock on effects but it wont by any size even take a quarter off the remaining UK's GDP - just saying.

Just Googled it. F*ck me, that's depressing. Even Iceland and Malta have bigger GDPs. Need out this Union, man.

It does. Tax, oil, food and drink, not to mention a place to dump the nukes, the landmass that makes them Great Britain and thus a "great" power on the world stage.

But if leaving will make the GDP better how does that work?

Edward: No, Percy, it's STEAM Day. It stands for 'Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math'. It's the same as 'STEM', but with art added in. It's about celebrating these crucial career fields that will push us into the future, with maybe with a little creative touch as well.

Percy: Oh. Well I guess that's pretty important too.

Well.... we could do a "Steam Day" if you wish.

You said your GDP was worse than you thought, we'll have to get out of the Union faster - how would that work? Leaving the UK is going to do a lot of damage to Scotland too, even if just in the short term.

Because if we left, we wouldn't need to pay for Trident, the House of Lords, Westminster, illegal wars, vanity projects for London and the South East, the monarchy (that one's debatable.) Furthermore, we'd be in total control of all our finances and resources. No more sending money to Westminster and getting pocket money back. We could also establish an oil fund.

Listening to Madonna right now. Feel very gay at the moment.
