[Prussia-Steinbach]

Gu∂brandr is open for questions.

How did you become such a fuckin' baller?

[Costa Fierro]

- Do you support membership of NATO?
"No. I do, however, support Dagmar's role as a potential member of the Partnership of Peace."

- Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations?
"No. I don't believe these people would be able to effectively integrate with our society, not to mention we simply don't have the facilities available to take large numbers of these 'refugees'. I have also seen examples in fellow Scandinavian nations where said refugees have been less than grateful for their new homes."

- Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change?
"Dagmar as a country emits very little carbon emissions and anything further than carbon neutrality would be moot. The fact remains that we have little impact on the global climate and any attempts at stopping climate change would come down to the willingness of the largest global emitters of greenhouse gases."

[Old Tyrannia]

Any questions for the Rear Admiral von Schönhoffen?

What do you have against pagans?

As a good Christian, I was brought up to believe in the message of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Paganism goes against that message. Pagans here in Dagmar seek to reverse the christianisation and civilisation of our country that occurred in the Medieval Period, and take us back into the Dark Ages. The backwards values of those who seek to resurrect the worship of the heathen gods are irreconcilable with the Christian values of decency, humility, kindness and universal love that I believe our kingdom should be built upon, and whereas Christianity offers life eternal paganism offers only death destruction. The subversive tendencies of the pagan can be seen by the way they flock to the banner of crypto-fascist and Stalinist groups that would tear down all that is good in our country. Paganism is the cult of death.

What do you think of party militias?

As a military man myself, I do not believe there should or can be any armed force in this nation other than the state military, and that is a sentiment which I assure you is held by many of us who serve in Dagmar's armed forces. It can mean nothing but trouble for political parties to maintain their own armed militias; such a thing would not be allowed in any other properly functioning democracy in the world. Give me a hundred good men and I would gladly round up these subversives myself. If they wish to play at being soldiers, they ought to join a historical re-enactment group!

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

Aðalragnarr Sindrisson is open for questions.

I've got a few questions for all senators.

- Do you support membership of NATO?

I strongly oppose membership of NATO, to protect our sovereignty in dealing with our own affairs; additionally, many members of NATO, most prominently the United States, have been enforcing their Imperialist and neocolonialist exploits on other peaceful nations (which often causes the refugee crises; the US's invasion of Iraq directly caused its refugee crisis, for example), and NATO's internal rules would require that our country to support these exploits.

- Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations?

No. I think that both nations such as Germany and Sweden are already taking in enough refugees to Europe, and it is important to take into account our own nation, culture and very small population that results in us having none of the facilities that nations such as Germany and Sweden have in helping integrate refugees into our society; and even the nations that do have such facilities are often finding it difficult to ensure a smooth and peaceful integration.

- Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change?

Absolutely. Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing our planet, the only one we have, right now, and we need to do all that we can to combat this global emergency, including the abolition of capitalism; capitalism indisputably directly caused climate change.

Ásleif Ómarsson - The Viking Party

Account Name: Kelnjorvik
Occupation: Senator
Party Position(s): Party Graphic Designer, Unofficial Rune-Scribe
Positions in Government: n/a
Constituency: n/a
Political Ideology: Pirate Politics, Social Democracy, Environmentalism, Linguistic Policy Advocate, Lite-Democratic Socialism
Family: Single, calls mum and dad every once in a while.
Background: Ásleif Ómarsson was born in the fishing village of Auksjávarþorpi, Dagmar, in 1976. Both his mother and father were craftsfolk. Ómarsson's early life was most definitely influenced by his time in Auksjávarþorpi, an almost commune-like town where the residents were all interdependent out of compassion and necessity, yet self-sustaining out of individuality and stoicism. This would no doubt go on to guide his Social Democratic ideals. As a kid, Ómarsson's grandparents told him of the Old Norse stories and of the Old Gods, as well as instilling in him a great respect for the Earth and nature. This would lay the foundations for his spiritual faith and his environmental ideals. As a teenager, he moved to a larger town in southwestern Dagmar, Ketilhöfn, in 1995. Here he was exposed to the burgeoning artistic and alternative scene that was so richly permeating in the urban areas of Dagmar. A healthy interest in politics grew from this scene, which spurred Ómarsson to become more actively involved with the social and political issues facing Dagmar. He eventually ran for office representing Ketilhöfn in 2004, at 28 years old, making him one of the youngest Senators of Dagmar. Initially a member of the Social Democratic Party, He later moved to become a member of the new Viking Party, in hopes of more adequately addressing issues concerning him and his constituency. He is an enthusiastic Ásatrúar, and works to encourage the religion's status within the nation of Dagmar. He enjoys the small things in life, and even while in his Parliamentary Office, he is often found sitting by his fireplace enjoying an earl-grey, wearing a nordic wool sweater, reading Tolkien's works.
Faith: Universalist Ásatrú; Förn Siðr; Nature Heathen
Likes: Alternative Rock, Sigur Rós, Linguistic Purism, Ásatrú, Kayaking, Hiking, Winter, Wearing Sweaters, High Fantasy, etc.
Dislikes: Authoritarianism, Linguistic Apathy, EDM, Intolerance, Warm Weather, Short-Sleeves, Predatory Capitalism, etc.
Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• Given the recent decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to suspend all Russian flights to Egypt do you thing Dagmarian airliners should be flying in the area? - For now, I would think it best to have Dagmarian aircraft avoid the area, suspending travel there temporarily, at least until we have more information on the incident. There is still much speculation going on, and not many facts. We should be cautious in how we proceed.

Ásleif Ómarsson is now open to inquiries and etcetera questions.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Do you harbour any feelings of dislike or distaste against non-pagans?

As a good Ásatrúarmaður, I was brought up to have faith in our native belief in the Æsir. Christianity goes against our very culture. Christians here in Dagmar seek to stamp out the revival of our ancient customs that has been occurring, and dilute and poison our religious heritage. The backwards values of those who seek to worship some poor Jewish carpenter and the monstrosity of a church his followers built are irreconcilable with the Heathen values of courage, truth, honor, and discipline that I believe our great nation should be built upon; and whereas Ásatrú offers an afterlife among our warrior ancestors, Christianity offers eternal subservience to a bigoted, self-contradicting, genocidal warmonger of a deity. The subversive tendencies of the Christian can be seen by the way they flock to the banner of bourgeois capitalist groups that would tear down all that is good in our country. Christianity is the cult of death.

[Collatis]

Jakob Östberg would love some questions.

Do you support membership of NATO? - Joining NATO is one of the most essential things we can do as we enter the international stage. We must stand united with Europe against Russian imperialism. In the war of ideas and ideology, we must always side with and defend the institution of democracy, and NATO is the manifestation of those ideals.

Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change? - Yes. Climate change stands as perhaps the largest threat to Dagmar, the wellbeing of its people, and the world.

[Ulg]

Já, why do you dislike heathens and ásatrúar?
Også, do you believe the State should remain secular?

Paganism belongs in the past, an interesting if embarrassing historical relic of our nation. Heathen ideals leave no room for the Christian notions of charity, peace, and mercy. The religion glorifies bloodshed and martial prowess in a way that I find abhorrent, and makes salvation dependent upon honor and strength instead of belief and virtue. However, I believe Paganism can be defeated through open theological discussion and dialogue, and oppose efforts to discriminate against heathens.

I believe a secular state is ultimately beneficial to the church and people. A state church would be more subject to popular opinion and the control of the legislature, paving the way for modernism and perversion of beliefs. The church should remain grounded in Scripture and sound theology, and making it a public institution puts that foundation in jeopardy.

Radford Arnason - Golden Civics

Account Name: Kelinfort
Occupation: Former small business entrepreneur; stand up comedian
Party Position(s): Golden Civics member
Positions in Government:
Constituency: Ryttären West
Political Ideology: Centre right social libertarian
Family: Wife, Ingrid Lokan, no children. In open relationship.
Background: Born on March 5th of 1987, Radford Arnason was the third of five boys born into a middle class family. His father, Olaf, was tragically killed by a lumberjacking accident in 1989 and as a result, Radford spent much of his young life in mourning. His mother, Christina, raised him and his five brothers as best she could. Eventually, his siblings left for the UK and US for tertiary education. He is the last of his family to remain in Dagmar. After graduating from the University of Dagmar with MA's in Economics and poltical science, Radford started a political consultation firm named, "Vi er politikk." The firm launched the careers of several politicians. Eventually, Radford couldn't resist the sweet allure of politics. So, he partnered with the newly formed Golden Civics party and launched his candidacy. On top of his political experience, he has also frequented several comedy clubs. Sources say he's a riot.
Faith: Irreligious
Likes: People
Dislikes: National Revivalists
Any Questions from the Public to be answered?
On the Transition from Businessman to Politician:
"Well, I still consider myself a comedian in certain circumstances, for what it's worth. But the transition isn't really difficult, in fact, it came naturally. I don't act any different than I did when running my business. One of the benefits in running a political consultation firm is gaining experience with how government works and hearing other politicians talk about their insights. I also see where they fail and blatantly pander to the electorate. Even the ones who crashed and burned gave me valuable insight. As far as daily mannerisms, I still wake up at the same time and make coffee for Ingrid and I. I'm not changing my lifestyle to pander to my constituency and they know who I am, without any focus groups or mirrors."

•Nathan Al-Khayyam (Son)

•Izdihar Al-Khayyam (Mother)
•Qadir Al-Khayyam (Brother)
Background: Mansur was born of January 12th 1970 in city of Al-Iskandariya to a fairly prosperous Sunni Arab family. At the age of 4 however his family moved to Europe trying to escape much of the social and political tension building in the region. They settled in [Placeholder name] in Dagmar where they set up a moderately successful food store in the city which sold an assort of foods and food products. As a young child he always was looking for excitement, he used to explore the forest near his childhood home, good camping regularly, and did the things many young children in Damar did at the time.

He grew up a relatively normal life for an immigrant and when he turned 20 he joined up with the national Navy. He served for 12 years obtaining the rank of Lieutenant in the navy. He worked mostly with navigation and helping to direct coordinated movements but eventually retired in 2002. However even after his time in the navy he still found it hard to settle down. In 2003 he got a ticket to his home country of Iraq and worked as a war journalist for a newsletter back in Dagmar. He served in this position for a few years being at pivotal moments like Fallujah and Najaf as well as reporting throughout the Triangle of Death. It was about this time he met his future wife Astrid Marxsen a native of Dagmar as she was working for Doctors Without Boarders. In 2008 he returned to civilian life back in his how of Dagmar with his the girlfriend Astrid.

After his stint in Iraq he took up the job as a policy analyst for a newspaper in the nation. Many of his writings became both revered and reviled with several works supporting more European Intigration, Criticism of radical Islam, criticism of US ultra-patriotism, and writing discussing the far left and right as destructive. Eventually he found the funds and willingness to run for election in his hometown beating the slightly more right wing incumbent by 2.8%. Mansur has been an open critic of radicalism citing his time in Iraq and the influence of his (relatively) progressive Muslim family. He also has been a critic of isolationism and protectionism. He currently occupies the constituency that covers most of his forming childhood home.
