[Arglorand]

Astrid Elsa Henriksdottir is open for questions.

Does the Right Honourable Senator not see a contradiction between support for monarchy and libertarianism/objectivism? Surely the retention of monarchy must clash on some ideological level with values of individualist self-advancement, seeing as a hereditary monarchy prevents a very significant form of self-advancement - the right to become head of state?

EDIT: Scratch that, how can you reconcile 'free market' views with neo-feudalism as a whole?

[Murkwood]

Ludvik Aminev is ready for questions!

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

Senator Flæmingur Hanssen is open for questions, by the way.

What is your view of socialism, given your working-class, trade unionist background?

[New Zepuha]

Ormere sounds like a great place for someone to kill themselves.

[Diopolis]

REDACTED. Seeing how few Catholics Dagmar has, a rad trad bishop wouldn't really make sense. I'll look for some other kind of batshit crazy to go with.

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

Ludvik Aminev is ready for questions!

How do you reconcile your strong opposition to immigration with your Polish heritage?

[Arglorand]

Senator Flæmingur Hanssen is open for questions, by the way.

What is your view of socialism, given your working-class, trade unionist background?

I believe in an eventual socialist reorganisation of society and I consider myself a reformist socialist - or, if you will, a social democrat of the old-school Bernsteinist mold.

I do not, however, believe a socialist society is possible at this time and I believe that it demands significant technological and democratic advancement before it can be realistically achieved.

Why do you believe socialism is not possible at this time?

EDIT: Scratch that, how can you reconcile 'free market' views with neo-feudalism as a whole?

Libertarianism is based on the notion of private property; you own yourself as private property and, by extension, you are able to own external goods. Most libertarians (excluding the anarchists) acknowledge the need for a state authority to enforce property rights and contracts, and punish acts of aggression. This is where the monarch comes in. In a libertarian society, the realm is the private property of the monarch. The monarch would have no power over the private property of any other individuals, but would own the state apparatus, public lands, and other public property as private property. Libertarianism, Monarchism, and Neo-Feudalism are all based on the idea that individuals should have control over their own property.

(OOC: Note, these aren't my actual views.)

Why do you believe socialism is not possible at this time?

I have plainly yet to see proof that it is, and given the (regrettable) failure of left-wing groups to agree on what it even would imply makes me unwilling to take its possibility as viable on a basis of faith.

My priority are short term goals - the elimination of poverty and minimisation of human suffering. I don't believe the socialist movement should focus on some grand end goal titled 'socialism' instead of tangible things we can promise and achieve now.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

I'd like to encourage everyone to calm the fuck down with their populations. We have a population of under a million, people, not everyone can get 30k+.

...there are literally next to no Catholics in Dagmar. Like, none. Scandinavia's turn to Protestantism was pretty full-force, and even the paganism is stretching it - we had to come up with some reasonable, regional explanations.

I'd find it hard to believe anywhere in this country tops out with 67%.

I think it's fine if it's majority Catholic, but you are right in that 67% is a questionably large majority.

[The New Sea Territory]

Astrid Elsa Henriksdottir is open for questions.

"Where do you disagree, theologically or politically, with the Felthric Rite?"

"What are you feelings on Dechristianization (Pagans taking back Dagmar) and Dagmari Nationalism?"

A majority Catholic area would only be a small, rural Southern town. Anywhere else, and any larger than a few thousand, and it makes no sense with the demographics. Catholics are extremely uncommon.

Yeah... I'd say 1,500 people with 50% Catholics. And this being, like, the only town like that... for some reason.

[Ikania]

Preemptive entry for potential capital. Also ditched the umlaut and changed it a bit. Rytaaren or Rytterhaven are potential options too. All history is up in the air right now so I'm writing my own.

Ryttaren

Account Name: Ikania for now though I assume it might be picked up by the admins.
Elected Representative: Until the population is determined, just Hans Egilsson.

Population: Probably around 100,000, maybe higher or lower. Will be decided for sure if it becomes the capital.
Ethnic Composition:

77% Dagmari, 5% Norwegian, 4% Danish, 3% Swedish, 2% Arab/Middle Eastern, 4% other.

Background: Ryttaren was originally founded by Saxon explorers in the pre-Norman days of the Viking Age, as a Christian settlement, home to many monks. It was raided over the course of many years by Danes and the Great Heathen Army, which gradually populated the island with their own people, who soon largely outnumbered the Catholic priests. It was later conquered by Harthacanute, and absorbed into the Kingdom of Denmark. After he died, however, the Christian Danes were kicked off the islands by angry Pagan Danes, who created their own monarchy and declared their independence, using the town of Ryttaren as the seat of the government due to the easily defensible position and abundant food. In the early 1000s, the island was invaded by King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark, who attempted to take back a former Danish settlement. These attempts were repelled until Sweyn died, leaving the islands in peace. The Kingdom of Dagmar prospered in independence for 50 more years before it was conquered by Sweyn II

I'd like to encourage everyone to calm the fuck down with their populations. We have a population of under a million, people, not everyone can get 30k+.

Are we using the 1,107,200 pop? Because surely we could at least double that. It's ridiculously low for the senate to legislate for.

I think it's fine if it's majority Catholic, but you are right in that 67% is a questionably large majority.

I thought I was pushing it with 11%.... How the bloody hell is a majority justifiable?

That said, this is the cunt who simply walked out of a police station and got on a plane whilst under arrest

Enlighten me as to when Vienna was under arrest and left police custody, barring when his traffic citation got dismissed.

I set it at like 13% in my constituency, but that's just cause there's a shitload of Polish immigrants there.

Would be willing to tune it down if people think that's too much, ftr.
