The Meritocracy wishes it to be known that, whenever the North Pacific has managed to conclude the finest of its democratic traditions and re-staffed this office, we look forward to re-establishing diplomatic relations. Our forum may be found here: http://merit.nosync.org/ I will most likely...

Congratulations to both regions for reaching an amicable to solution. The Meritocracy is happy to see agreement reached, and urges every effort to be made to re-integrate those of the Crimson Order into the North Pacific society.

Ha! Beat me in verbal jousting? I suggest you watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3fbB-X-uxM

It was [edit: mentioned. The New Meritocracy was mentioned]. Nice try, though. And the Meritocracy is a region. Just by the way. :) Edit: For reference: 1. Mon, 02 Jun 2003 Regional web sites by Max Barry There are some pretty amazing off-site NationStates sites out there, but the best...

The only odd thing about Gatesville's statement is this: they seem, rhetorically, quite pleased with the demise of the United Nations. Yet their Delegate, Nevadar, is voting against the current resolution. Oh, and by the way, Mr. Enforcer, Gates's statement was factually erroneous: the...

As far as legal goes, Emperor Matthuis, I'd beg to differ. That he commands a majority of North Pacificans in support of the Crimson Order does not refute the fact that he violated his contract. If, indeed, his majority was clearly foreseen, then going about things within the context of his...

Ad hominem in the very first sentence? And between us? :( When you were Foreign Affairs Advocate of Gatesville ... you suspended the Charter and threw Gates and Nevadar out the window ... ? The would be the logical comparison, dear friend. Lewis and Clark won an election to fulfill a very...

Just for some fun with my old friend, the Enforcer. Surely, sir Nikocujo, you are not saying that the majority can declare what is treason and what is not? Surely you aren't saying that an election to a post with clear powers and limitations does not mean election to an undefined post with...

I think he was someone else too. :ph34r:

That Crimson Order seems to be quite the place to work... And I do wish Dalimbar the very best. He was a character of the finest caliber.

Anybody? :(

Rykkland, I don't necessarily disagree. But I definitely will say that material gains often lead to psychological gains. I am always able to be quite content, and have been through a very good deal. Nonetheless, I do not find it fair to say that we should consume less just to satisfy the...

Democratic Donkeys, you refute your own last point. You say that Wal-Mart sets artificially low prices to destroy competition. How does this destroy competition? People choose the artificially low prices. They ARE voting with their wallets... And where on Earth did you find that statistic...

Indeed, indeed. I hope I didn't come across as saying something that would at all preclude that...

Hurrah for the minarchist! (If that's still what you are...) A few points I'll add in response to Outer Kharkistania: 1. You say "to keep their prices low." Why do they try to keep their prices low? Well, it's to meet our wishes. Are we aware of what our wishes entail? Generally, I'd say...

I would like to receive confirmation, if possible, from the North Pacific that the Pacific News Network has a syndication deal with the North Pacific Wire. If not, should I address proposals to the Editor of the Wire or to a Government Minister?

As a matter of fact, I do disagree. And just a disclaimer, in case you somehow how received the impression, I am most definitely not a socialist. Far from it, in fact. ;) I do not think that it is the government's duty or right to put the welfare of any humans on its agenda, as the only way...

A few general comments from the retiree, may it please the ladies and gentlemen of the North Pacific. First of all, I must react strongly to Joshua and his comparisons of Turkey to the "horrible" human rights records of the United States and the current European Union. As an ardent supporter...

Hello there, Klopstock! Nice to see you here, as well. :P

The most interesting development seems to be Le Pen's major fall back from 2002 elections. Those that voted for him will probably go for Sarkozy, which could provide him with a crucial advantage, but then you never know for sure. It'll be really fun to watch the intense campaigning to grab...

Might we ever see a return of your honorable character to other places of the past? :D Welcome back, anyway.

Hello there, Proconsul. Nice to see you've arrived. As Quaestor, I can confirm that the Senators from Blockade to Serfdom (New Kervoskia), Argyres, and possibly Eli, shall be serving as duly appointed representatives of the Meritocracy here. Hopefully this group will prove more long-lasting...

Welcome back! Will you be returning to other regions as well? ^_^

Thank you, noble Senator. Just a few words of information for our friends in the North Pacific: 1. Ylling resigned as ambassador due to time constraints. 2. As stated above, the Meritocracy now employs teams of ambassadors to represent the Senate in groups of diplomatic missions abroad. 3...

Is it alright with you that the Luna® Ledger continues to publish in the North Pacific News Wire, as your predecessor allowed?

Ah, well, that's interesting. Why do you do so much to avoid the Meritocracy, though?

Probably. We hold our leaders to high standards, which can be daunting. Out of curiosity, though, would I know you by another name, or have you just done your research well?

Firstly, I abhor with equal distaste the forum destruction of which you speak, although due to its DRAMA factor, I suppose the honorable MOSS would disagree... :P Moving on, nobody is denying your right to exist a nation. Likewise, no one is denying your right to assemble many nations into...
