For my snack, I choose Merc's thick, juicy left asscheek. Maybe lemonade or orange juice for my drink. Trump is about as useful as a holey condom on Covid-19 and everything else. He's a reverse Midas. Everything he touches turns to sh*t.

Also, NS, please give me an issue that will allow me to restore my NHS!

Amazing that Biden blew through so many deadlines to come up with who has been the frontrunner the whole time, all executive orders are unconstitutional, there is no god, and no, Jas is attracted to trains

>The responsibility of God in the Fall of Humanity
I don't think there was a God but there's definitely some kind of E-SETI attack going on, probably from a nearby Berserker Probe.

I'll have bees and crude oil because issa vibe.

Kamala Harris is absolutely awful. If I wanted her to be president, I would've supported her in the primary, but instead she's an authoritarian race traitor who kept people locked up after their sentences should've ended to milk them for cheap prison labour. I would not trust her anywhere near the Oval Office, and if Biden dies and Kamala were to become president, it would be absolutely awful. 2024 is already likely to go to an even trashier fascist Republican if Trump loses this year because Biden/Harris will be just like Obama and Clinton. They'll claim everything will get better, but then create more policies that screw over the people. Awful Democrats like that are why Trump was a viable option in the first place, because we're tired of garbage. How can you not support Medicare for All during a f***ing pandemic, ESPECIALLY when it has like 70% approval among ALL voters, with generally a majority of Republicans supporting it too!? That is straight up murder in my book. The Democrats have had many opportunities when in charge to do the right thing and they never do! Again, it's a g***amn pandemic, and Democrats would rather protect the health insurance industry than actually finally guarantee healthcare as a right in this country.

I don't think Trump has gotten the boost he needed from those executive orders. They don't do much honestly, which makes sense why they've been fairly ignored by the media for the most part.

God doesn't exist or maybe he or she or they or whatever that arse likes to be addressed does but they're a cya next tuesday if they actually exist. Guillotine God, that stupid little hoe.

Jas is locomotosexual if anything.

The Issue
The ‘Underground Element’, a newly formed resistance force to the governing party in Spanelsko, has begun broadcasting anti-government messages over a network of public radio stations.

First Sabotage of our satellite and now insurgency, i guess its time to prepare for operation Metro Last Nuke......... *stares at Moscow*

The Issue
Last week a mothballed Spanelskoan nuclear missile exploded deep underground, triggering a catastrophic earthquake in rural Spanelsko. The little evidence that could be recovered from the debris indicates that the explosion was caused by neglected maintenance of outdated warheads, spurring debate over the state of the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

“Really?” objects Sven Elgar of the Spanelskoan Security Agency, startling you as he appears seemingly out of nowhere. “You actually think it was just a malfunction? Why do you think there was so little evidence left? That warhead was clearly detonated intentionally; I don’t know if it was terrorists or spies from one of our rivals, but someone did this, and they did it for a reason. Our primary concern should be with securing our missile bases against sabotage. People may still be scared of nuclear malfunction, but hey - if nobody wants to live near our nukes, that only strengthens national security.”

The Talking Point
The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament.

DEFCON 2 ALERT!

"wall street bad, no war for corporations, vote bernie" - kum in a nutshell

If you got rid of that "No war for corporations" it'd describe me quite well too.
Of course, that's because I'm a R a d i c a l C e n t r i s t E l e c t r o n C l o u d
You never know what superposition of political causes I'll support :thonk:

Thank you 2020, very cool

"Reaching the nearest exoplanet would take tens of thousands of years. These days, scientists can acquire a similar level of detail for some exoplanets that earlier generations did with the planets of our solar system in the ’60s, but “we might never get beyond that,”"
If only we didn't stop Orion in the 60's, since Daedalus (A fusion derivative) could travel to Bernard's Star in just 50 years. And Orion would have already let us have a big orbital infrastructure.

Or if only we used Solid Nuclear Thermal rockets since those cut travel time in our solar system down to a quarter.

ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT MY NS NATION, I'M TOO LAZY TO MAKE FACTBOOKS

I don’t see any lie.

Of course tho, we’ve progressed past needing Bernie. He was the compromise to actual violent class warfare revolution that I’d now like to see happen because electoral politics in this country is all a facade.

Transitions to new economic models never happen peacefully or bloodlessly. History has shown that.

1. At 18, all able young adults are given the option to register with the Emergency Defense Force. In times of crisis, local authorities or governors can mobilize this force. In times of national crisis, the Chancellor can--with the permission of Parliament--activate the National Emergency Defense Force, which does the same on a national level. In times of severe crisis (e.g., the national homeland is actively under attack), the Chancellor can request permission from the Queen to activate the Homeland Defense Protocol, in which every able young adult is temporarily drafted into military service for as long as the threat lasts. This draft can be ended by a simple majority vote in Parliament or by the Queen. However, it's something of a moot point, as the Protocol has never been activated, and the NEDF has only been activated twice due to massive flooding and civil unrest.

2. Yes, but all people seeking to donate blood are screened in advance for illness.

3. 60% of Lavani energy generation is nuclear, 30% is hydroelectric, 10% is renewables.

4. There is the largely-symbolic Monarch, whose only real power is a legislative veto that can be overturned.

Then, there is the Chancellor, who is elected by a nationwide popular vote every 6 years and is in charge of appointing a Cabinet, foreign policy, defense, and the national economy--basically the IRL American President sans veto power. The Chancellor can serve any amount of terms, but most serve only 2.

The Legislature is bicameral: the upper house, the House of Delegates, is composed of 3 Delegates from every Province who serve 5-year terms. The lower house, the National Assembly, is composed of 1 Assemblyperson representing a district of no more than 350,000 people--Assemblypeople serve 3 year terms. There are 516 members of the Assembly and 462 Delegates.

The President is the Head of Parliament and serves to, essentially, keep the Government running: they have broad powers over what legislation to consider, as well as a responsibility for the administration of the Census, appointing Chairs to the legislative committees, and coordination with local and provincial legislatures. The President is elected by the Parliament from their own members and serves a 4 year term with no term limits. On the flipside, the President cannot propose legislation and must impartially mediate floor debates, as well as allowing legislation to pass regardless of their own feelings or opinions if the majority allow it. Along with the President, both Chambers elect a Vice President.

5. There are 5 major parties in Lavan Tiri--major parties being defined legally as political parties with at least 150,000 members in at least 75% of all provinces. There are also regional parties (at least 100,000 members in 10 geographically connected provinces), provincial parties (at least 100,000 members within a province), and local parties (at least 5,000 members within 8 or fewer parishes in the same province). You can be a member in as many parties as you want, meaning many people split their loyalties between a major or regional party for national politics and choose similar provincial or local parties for local issues. Local parties also frequently take seats in the Assembly.

There are also the Free Provincial Parties, based in the Free Provinces of Madagascar, Barbados, Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia.

Due to the large amount of parties and voter loyalties, a coalition system is in place in Parliament. The two dominant coalitions are A Coaliząo de Povo, a left-wing coalition that's been in the majority since 1990, and A Liga Nacional, a right-wing coalition that held the majority from 1945-1980.

The 5 major parties, in order of size, are
1. O Partido de Povo, The People's Party. The oldest political party in Lavan Tiri, it currently holds 78 Delegate Seats and 90 Assembly Seats. The People's Party is center-left and based around free trade and social liberalism. The previous Chancellor, Angelina Cano, who served from 1994-2017, is a member of The People's Party.
2. O Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores, the Socialist Worker's Party. The PST is a labor-focused leftist party based off of Marxist principles. It holds 61 Delegate Seats and 76 Assembly Seats, and Javier Garcia, the Vice President of the Chamber of Delegates is a PST member.
3. A Partido Pela Liberdade e Prosperidade, the Party for Liberty and Prosperity. The FPLP is a libertarian conservative party based around deregulation and provincial autonomy. It holds 58 Delegate Seats and 51 Assembly Seats.
4. O Partido do Progresso e da Paz, the Progress and Peace Party. The PPP is a libertarian-left party, based around pacifism, social justice, antifacism, and anticapitalism. It holds 48 Delegate Seats and 53 Assembly Seats.
5. A Partido Rainha e da Coroa, the Queen and Crown Party. The PRC is a nationalistic, authoritarian-right party based around isolationism, high tariffs, labor unions, and a universal basic income, as well as social conservativism. It holds 40 Delegate Seats and 50 Assembly Seats.

Other prominent parties include:
- Aitihad Alaishtirakiiyn Al'iislamiiyn, the Union of Islamic Socialists. AAA holds 28 Delegate Seats and 51 Assembly Seats, as well as President Aliyah Tezi.
- Al'iikhwan Almuslimun, the Muslim National Brotherhood. A conservative Islamic party based in Algeria and Tunisia, with support in Madagascar and southern Spain. Almuslimin holds 22 Delegate Seats and 37 Assembly Seats.
- Antoko Kaominista eto Madagasikara, the Communist Party of Madagascar. AKM holds 2 of Madagascar's 3 Delegate Seats and 34 Assembly Seats. Suraj Chandra, Vice President of the National Assembly, is a member of AKM.
- Grupo Conservador de Trabalho, the Conservative Labor Group. A labor party based around union rights and social conservativism. GCT holds 13 Delegate Seats and 17 Assembly Seats.
- La Sociedad Nacional Fascista, the National Fascist Society. SNF is a far-right party that's been growing in power since 2013, it holds 8 Delegate Seats and 10 Assembly Seats, including 4 of Sicily's seats.
- Sociedade Cristã para o Progresso, the Christian Society for Progress. SCP is a religious-based leftist party. It holds 21 Delegate Seats and 28 Assembly Seats. Chancellor Christiano Fernao, who ascended from Senior Deputy Chancellor to Chancellor in 2017 and is seeking reelection this September, is an SCP member.
- Alliance Nationale Méditerranéenne, the Mediterranean National Alliance. Based in Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia, ANM is a center-right party based around provincial autonomy and fiscal conservativism. It holds 7 Delegate Seats (all 3 from Sardinia, all 3 from Corsica and 1 from Sicily) and 12 Assembly Seats (Corsica's one seat, all 5 of Sardinia's, and 6 of Sicily's 14).

6. Yes.

7. Only churches/mosques/synagogues/temples can reject employees due to religious grounds. Hospitals, school, orphanages, and businesses operated by religious groups cannot.

8. A panel of 3 judges.

I had no idea your country was a monarchy. This is news to me.

Nuremgard wrote:I had no idea your country was a monarchy. This is news to me.

It's in the name. Monarchic Republic.

Basically, in 1823, the Bloodless Revolution happened. The Queen at the time, in order to save her own hide, compromised with the revolutionaries: a near-powerless Monarchy, with privilege limited solely to the Monarch, their spouse, and their children; plus am abolishment of the peerage system. All nobles were stripped of land, power, and title. In return, the Queen and her line stayed alive.
