Happy Birthday GM!

I agree they make distinctions based on their particular 'world' so to speak(even in RL, positions change and move about-see Hillary Clinton's rhetoric as a perfect example: for an In game example look at the recent statistic of rhetoric of the buzzwords, all of the candidates, save Yera, OP's...

Welcome to the region. There is currently a General election ongoing that's proving very interesting. I also recommend joining the North Pacific Army for extra fun.

In Short: Politics is still politics, no matter where you are at. If there are people, there is politics. Our regional govt was modeled to some extent on RL political persuasions(Social Democracy to be precise as Grosseschnauzer was a German Lawyer and member of that coalition). Plus our govt is...

How is that flaming? I didn't say anything bad about conservatives(I consider myself a Conservative, though I'm not exactly a traditional American one). Conservatives come in a broad range of flavors, and certainly not all evil, weird or whatever one would call the 'Bad' conservatives. Your...

Well as the election has started, time to add an update. From what I can tell Plembobria is ahead(he has slighly more clout:142 vs 140 and is more active than Bootsie:4.9 vs 1.9). His Applied Clout then is 695.8 vs Bootsie's 266. The Weighted mean position value considering the knowns so...

Granted I have a made a prediction in your opponent's favor, that doesn't preclude me from possibly supporting you. I am going to wait and see what other candidates declare they're in the running, and possibly the debates before declaring support for any particular candidate. That said, Good...

Granted I kind of have a vested interest in seeing you win the election since I made a kind of bet that you win. That doesn't mean I'm going to support you. I'm going to wait and see if other candidates declare before making a decision. Best of luck to you though.

Good Luck in your campaign, should prove interesting for my forum politics studies.

Best of Luck to you in the campaign.

I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Nasania, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war against...

6/10 Elegantly designed flag.

Justice (select up to 3): < Yuno > Would you like to reopen nominations? < No > Attorney General: < Abstain > Would you like to reopen nominations? < No >

Um... it wasn't a rant, and it was tongue-in-cheek thing anyway(which I thought was pretty obvious considering I referenced paranoid "red scare" McCarthy of all people). I actually have nothing against anybody(I do have issues with poor policy though). Sorry if you took it personal. That was not...

Fixed.

A bit late to post this, but technically goes under this heading. Here is a nuclear targets list from the 1950's. Shows things like Moscow being targeted with 149 nuclear bombs. PRC was also targeted even if they were to remain neutral, simply because they could be a potential threat...

Thanks, for correcting the errors, I admit I did a cursory look over their embassies(proportion out of which are their allies), but the modified list is even worse(the isolationist region is sorta good for their interests). The basic idea is:they have no allies and the few they've got are...

I wouldn't say the TNP is entirely democratic. It's more like an oligarchy with democratic characteristics. In other words, a typical Republic. Also your description of political conflict mirrors Carl Schmitt's theories in the concept of the political. You may want to check out his works on the...

Oh hadn't thought of that. It's fixed now.

Britain doesn't even have a written constitution, so it's in their tradition not to have it codified. Imperial Japan also did the same thing. Other nations, like Bhutan and the China, codify it. TNP tradition is to codify regional symbols. As for Use I agree, however, we have 'used' other songs...

It's not a 'change', but a noble addition to our traditions! The current legal code stays the same as it always has, this bill just adds to the basic legal code. It doesn't change anything. It also provides consistency for future generations of TNPers. Something to look back on and see where...

I agree with quak1234 above, and I'll take the Lyrics out of the bill so it provides more flexibility. There is one purpose that anthems achieve that is being neglected: anthems foster esprit de corps(a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by the members of a particular...

Hmm Ok, yeah it is a bit fast, and seeing as discussion has increased, I retract move to formal debate So how do you propose the bill should look then? I could stick the lyrics in as a spoiler so it compromises between those who want lyrics in the bill, and those who don't. I initially didn't...

I certainly agree, but as quak1234 pointed out, concerns about quality dictate this is the road we have to follow(that or listen to a likely mediocre composition and some potentially unpleasant vocals). Perhaps if we do promote this 'outside' anthem, we can stir enough interest in the region so...

Accident, It's fixed now.

Can I claim this area for my nation? It's right next to Wolfsea. Thanks,

Lyrics added.

:tnp: Adopt Anthem Now! :tnp: After careful consideration, extensive debate and carefully structured voting and polling, I have now decided to introduce a bill to change our Legal Code to officialize our anthem. After about a decade of stability and tradition, I believe it is time to add to...

Well I've counted the votes. Hoist the Colours wins with 9 Boxes. Maple Leaf Forever got 7.5 Boxes(one was tied with Lulu). God Save the Queen got 5.5 Boxes Partant Pour la Syrie was tied with Lulu for 5 boxes each Anhk Morpork Song got 4.5 boxes God Save the Czar got 4 boxes Majulah...

No, the Pacific is OUR client state, along with all other regions. We've been puppet mastering all along, like the Illuminati. I'm sure we have weird regionalists that think that way in this region. We've got to spin some conspiracy theory now?
