[NSG Senate] The Senate Yellow Pages

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

Half the utilities market in a country with the population of New Hampshire is not particularly large.

I'm not saying that isn't the case, but I don't think that anybody should be allowed to unilaterally declare that their own company owns a substantial percentage of a certain market without any agreement from anyone else; that's something reminiscent of some of the things Dragomere did.

Every company in the Senate has done that. Off the top of my head, I remember a bunch of arms companies, MGE's bank, Mediciano's whatever company, NewZep's conglomerate (in Aurentina, Baltonia and Calaverde) and that private Calaverdean university thing. Dragomere's claims were ridiculous because he claimed all of an entire field (100% of a country the size of Canada) at prices that made no sense (5 cents for 1 GB of data) for services that didn't exist (5G mobile broadband).

As an independant senator, which party do you feel closest too?

[Davincia]

Lao Xifeng is open for questions.

You don't seem to like very much of what Dagmar has to offer. So why are you here?

"I am a radical representing radicals. In a country like Dagmar, there is little room for the people who support me.
I cannot simply give up on them."

- What is your favourite sport?

[Al-Seena]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?

It was a natural transition really, I worked extensively in the world of politics and foreign affairs for years. Prior to my election I written several essays and articles regarding politics. It seemed only natural that I take my political though and apply it in a real world scenario.

- Do you support same-sex marriage?

I don't personally agree with it but I'm also not one to be hateful towards another person simply for being different wether it's by birth or by choice. I find it a non-issue for myself. Not to say it's not importent, I just feel things like the budget, taxes, national security and the like are more importent to me. If we were to have a vote on the matter I would most likely abstain from said vote.

- What is your favourite sport?

I find Handball to be a particularly fun sport and it's been a favorite of mine since I was a child. I can't really play all that much anymore given my age. My range of movement and agility have suffered with time but I still find it fun to watch none the less now a days.

[The Union of the West]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?
- Do you support same-sex marriage?
- What is your favourite sport?

- "I went into politics because I saw government regulations crushing my father's business and other businesses. I saw fascist and communist parties rising to power in Dagmar, and I realized something needed to be done."

- "Of course I support same-sex marriage."

- "My favourite sport is football, Association Football, that is."

[Ainin]

It's called association football >.<

[Tuthina]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?
- Do you support same-sex marriage?
- What is your favourite sport?

• Why did you enter politics? - It occurs to me that it is a remarkably common question for me, where many people, from my co-workers to my personal friends, about my decision to enter politics instead of continuing my career as a medical doctor. After all, is relieving people from their ailment and occasionally saving them from literal death more desirable than wasting time on lengthy debates on the Senate ground. At first, I thought the same as well. However, as I travelled around the world, working to help the locals overcoming their illness, I realised that such action, although still very important, is more often than not treating merely the symptoms of the true illness: the illness of the society. Even with ample resources, I might be able to suppress the sickness of maybe a dozen thousand people for my entire life. However, if I can manage to treat the true disease plaguing the entire country, millions would no longer be suffering from the lurking ailments entirely. Because of that, I think one can consider it merely a logical extension of my ultimate goal of healing people.
• Do you support same-sex marriage? - My stance on same-sex marriage is that the current legal system of marriage as a whole proved to be problematic and ultimately unsuited to the current incarnation of our society. While marriage has been an integral part of all human civilisations since the dawn of organisation, the advent of contraceptives, constant increase in cost for raising offspring, as well as emergence of fluid social relations mean that a concrete, heterosexual monogamous system might need some tailoring to fit our current society better. Although such in important issue will take more than a simple answer to be fully delivered, and an abridged version will merely draw misunderstanding - either unintentional or otherwise - I should note that I support the expansion of most privileges currently enjoyed by married couples to their homosexual counterparts. If my ideal come into fruition, the gender composition of couple should not be factor within the legal system at all.
• What is your favourite sport? - Equestrianism. I have always been partial to my equine friends. It has been said that "there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man", and I wholly agree. Indeed, when I am taking a leave from politics or work in general, I like to ride on a horse and simply run across the beautiful land of our country, enjoying all she offers with my trusty steed. It can be a wonderful, even meditating experience.

[Maklohi Vai]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?
- Do you support same-sex marriage?
- What is your favourite sport?

- My constituents wanted me to serve them. Simple as that.

- Yes.

- Ponzi scheming.

[Mariarty]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?
- Do you support same-sex marriage?
- What is your favourite sport?

Because I think I can contribute the society.
Well, personally no, but no one have right in the decisions of other person.
Swimming, of course.

[Varjager]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?

While the idea had been lying in the back of myy mind for some time, what definetely made me decide it was the outcome of the Pirate Bay Trial. It was an unfair sentence, worse than what many murderers get. I had to do what I could to work against such injustice.

- Do you support same-sex marriage?

Yes I do. When two people love each other, there shouldn't be any hinder for them to get marrried.

- What is your favourite sport?

Skiing, in all its forms.

[Britanno 2]

"Do you believe Dagmar should cooperate with the US in eliminating ISIL?"

While I thoroughly support the international coalition's efforts against Islamic State, I believe that until we have a stronger and more capable military, we should take a backseat. Nevertheless, we should do all we are able to do in our current position to stop the spread of IS.

Why did you enter politics?

I entered politics because I was sick and tired of hearing the same old kind of politics. The people of Dagmar need strong leaders willing to do what needs to be done, and I believe that delusional voices on the left, along with weak representation of the right, would end up doing great damage to this country.

Do you support same-sex marriage?

I believe that marriage is a sacred union of God that is meant to be between one man and one woman.

What is your favourite sport?

Rugby.

[Ulg]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?
- Do you support same-sex marriage?
- What is your favourite sport?

"Slowly but surely, I began to realize the fundamental disconnect between our government and the moral basis of our society. I saw corruption in the former rot the latter. At first, I believed the pulpit was the best place for me to serve the public good, but then I realized this country needed a voice for virtue in elected office."

"I deny that 'same-sex marriage' should even be used as a term. In my view, and in the view of the church of God, marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and woman. Anything outside of that is not marriage, and ought not to be called by such a name. Supporting it is equivalent to supporting 'wet dryness' or any other oxymoron."

"I must confess that I have always enjoyed golf above any other sport."

Mushki Erinson - UNNAMED PARTY

Account Name: Democratic Peoples Republic of Kelvinsi
Occupation: Politician
Party Position(s): Vice-Chair
Positions in Government: Senator
Constituency: Rorcksinflinkgen Mountains
Political Ideology: Northern Sovereignty
Family: N/A
Background:
Born in a remote island off the coast of Dagmar, Erinson was born into an impoverished minority family. His family barely had any money, and they were unable to afford heating on the small island. It was because of the lack of heating 3 of Erinson's siblings died during a particularly harsh winter. Food was hard to come by as well, and they were forced to scavenge, and hunt for food during the winter. The family had barely enough to get by. However, Erinson did well in school, and was accepted into the prestigious University of Dagmar in the Capital on a full scholarship which gave his family one less mouth to feed.

During his stay in the capital he realized the vast income inequality affecting the country, with the people in the capital having much better living conditions than the people of the north. This strengthened his political views, and made him a hardliner soverigntist who prioritized the independence of the province more than anything else. He believed that the mainstream Pagan parties are too moderate, and do not care about the people of the north, and still concentrate on the capital, and cities. He alongwith a fellow senator founded the UNNAMED PARTY, a party to promote the values of the people of the north, and to pave the way for eventual independence of the northern province.

He is supportive of his party, due to the fact that it strives to protect the interests of the northern province. He often makes speeches rebuking federation with the rest of Dagmar.

Faith: Mainstream Pagan
Likes: Sovereignty, Northern nationalism, Pagan culture, Northern culture, Paganism, Self-determination
Dislikes: Dagmar, Unitarianism, Communism, Socialism, Federalism

A few more questions for all senators.

-"It was never fully a choice of mine. Once I moved to Dagmar with my two children, a large gathering of people who read my books encouraged me to run for office. It was all very sudden, but I owe those men and women my gratitude."
-"Personal disagreements aside, I believe wholeheartedly in a society based on personal liberty and consent. That being said, do I agree with state recognition of any marriage? Absolutely not."
-"Ah, this is a tough choice. Basketball is great fun to watch in person, not so much on television."

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

A few more questions for all senators.

- Why did you enter politics?

My experiences as the leader of the campaign for fair pay and treatment for workers in the pilgrimage industry in my hometown and the dumbing down of my city's ancient tradition to creators of profit resulted in my eventual successful campaign for mayor in my hometown, to ensure these campaigns were successful. However, neither could I bear to see the ruthless exploitation of workers in other places in Dagmar, which drove me to recently move my political from the municipal to the legislative level, likewise representing my constituents in the process in our legislature.

- Do you support same-sex marriage?

Yes. I additionally consider myself to be a strong supporter of all other LGBT Rights.

- What is your favourite sport?

I quite enjoy swimming myself.

Family: Stalin
Background: Eirik was born to a pair of moocher hippies, living off the welfare state, his sole purpose was to gain them a tax credit. Growing up Eirik learned he could rely on the government teat as much as he couldn't rely on his parents', so he got involved in gang violence. Eirik soon became the toughest kid on the street, and was responsible for forming an inter-racial drug gang. Together they terrorized the neighborhood, but mostly just robbed pensioners. Then as Eirik reached the age of 20 he began to truly mature, he found the root of all his problems, immigrants. He set off reforming his life, this included moving to a new neighborhood, and temporarily giving up gang violence in favor of working as a mailman. Then one day he saw a bunch of immigrants walk down the street, and he just lost it. "How dare they walk on Nordic soil with such impudence!" he thought to himself. And since then Eirik's gotten involved with active skinheads.
Faith: Jewish

What do you think of Pagans?

"Nice guys, don't agree with all of them though. Some of them aren't into smashing capitalism as much as I am, which is a major fault."

[Prussia-Steinbach]

- Why did you enter politics?

My father was a prominent member of the local fishermens' union, as well as an occasional spokesperson for their organization in the capital, and my mother was a devout heathen and quite outspoken against the monarchy, so I was raised in a very political and left-leaning atmosphere. I was on first-name terms with my entire town council and several national politicians by the time I was in my teens. After the decade or so I spent in the service, I decided entering our legislature and offering my talents to its people was the next reasonable course of action.

- Do you support same-sex marriage?

I am in full support for equality of all Dagmari citizens, regardless of their sex, gender, or preferences. Our nation is strong because of its unity in diversity.

- What is your favourite sport?

I suppose if you would count skeet or target shooting, that would top the list. I am also quite fond of hockey.
