Player Info Submission

[Of the Free Socialist Territories]

Player Info, Version 3.0!

(Please use the form below and don't copy-paste from the old thread - or if you do, at least adapt it to fit the new questions. Thanks.)

As some of you are no doubt aware, there is a thread for player info in the "Welcome to the General Forum" stickied thread. Unfortunately, this hasn't been updated of late, which led to me asking Sedge what needed doing. He cleared it for anyone interested to start a new one if nothing had been done in a few days, and so, a week later, here we are. I'm going to use Kryo's instructions and questions from the old one, with a few new ones added in. I'll even give you a specimen reply, because I'm nice.

Feel free to post your answers to the questions in this thread, and I'll try and get to work on a new players' index in about a week and then try to either update it weekly or fortnightly. No promises, mind.

So, here we go!

Of The Free Socialist Territories
Picture: Nope.
IM Contacts: Nope.

The Nation Pretitles Are Bourgeois of Of The Free Socialist Territories
Real Name: Fred
Age: 15 (as of November 2012)
General Location: North-East England
General Political Affiliation [if any]: Minarcho-socialism
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Atheism, but I strongly support secularism.
Where Did You Find NationStates?: Recommended by a friend.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Erm...erm...no.
Professional Goal: Does socialist revolutionary count?
What is your favorite genre of music: A combination of socialist R'n'B, Led Zeppelinesque rock, Nirvana, Bowie and modern British alternative.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English (native), French (basic/decent), German (pretty well), Spanish (beginner), Latin (not speaking, more studying as an academic subject with language-learning for written purposes included), Russian (well, I don't speak it, but I know the Cyrillic alphabet).
Other information: I have blue eyes. And an ushanka. And a trench coat.

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Yes, it should be legal. Prevention is better, though.
Affirmative Action: Until we have a truly equal, colour-blind society, then yes.
Aid (International): Should be spent on infrastructure and education, and monitored by international observers, in tandem with the cancellation of "Third World" debt.
Arms Trade: No, it's capitalism at its worst. And that's saying something.
Death Penalty: No, there's too much risk of killing innocent people.
Drones: Despicable. Ban 'em.
Drugs: Marijuana should be legalised, while tobacco should be banned. Others (LSD and magic mushrooms in particular) should be legalised but closely monitored by the government.
Economic System: Communism with a teeny-tiny state providing the bare essentials, such as healthcare and utilities. Minarcho-socialism, in other words.
Education: Free, public education is best education. And this should continue up to and including university/college.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Not a bad idea, but the system should be made more proportional so that smaller parties are given a chance.
Environmentalism: Yes, it's important, we'll destroy the planet if we carry on the way we are.
Euthanasia: It should be legalised if the individual can give consent - courts should handle it on a case-by-case basis, however, to prevent another Harold Shipman.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: I like science, so evolution.
Gay Marriage: Yes!
Gun Control: Guns should be tightly regulated.
Immigration Policies: Asylum seekers, if they actually come from a country where their rights are in danger, should be welcomed and if possible helped to become functioning and content members of society. English-learning should be encouraged but immigrants should be encouraged to celebrate their own culture, provided that the aspects they celebrate are legal in the UK. Non-asylum-seeking immigrants should be allowed into the country if they're willing to work.
Income Tax: The rich must be taxed far more, proportionally, than the poor.
Iran: Their leaders are bad, but they'll be overthrown internally at some point. Any war will be bloody and destructive.
Israel/Palestine: Two-state solution is best state solution, although Gaza and the West Bank should be linked by the southern Negev.
LGBTQ Rights: They're people. They deserve equal rights to straight people.
Philosophy: Utilitarianism
Political Party Affiliation: N/A
President Obama/American Policies: The least worst man for the job. If I were American, I'd vote Green.
Prostitution: Should be legalised but regulated.
Religion: Secularism is best.
Social Security: Essential to halt capitalism's predatory instincts in their tracks.
The UN: Just the League of Nations, but with more guns. I'm not a fan.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Eat what you want, but I love my meat.
War on Terror: It's a cover for expansionism and quasi-neo-imperialism. Terrorists make a habit of blending in, and massive military force is not the solution.

[Abatael]

Abatael
Real Name: Alex M.
Age: 15.
General Location: Fairfax County, Virginia, U.S.
General Political Affiliation [if any]: Right-wing.
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Roman Catholic.
Where Did You Find NationStates?: Online.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: No.
Professional Goal: Law.
What is your favorite genre of music: I like religious music, country music, classical music and rap. It's an interesting combination, I know.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: I can speak in English and Latin. I can write in English and Latin. I'm learning Koine Greek.
Other information: I'm a boy. I was born on August in 1997 in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. I'm a sophomore. I go to a private, Roman Catholic school. I'm a wide receiver on the football team of that school. And I'm a nationalist.
Political Beliefs:
Abortion: No; except in cases when the child is the product of incest, when the life of the mother is threatened by the child being born or when the child has a disorder of some kind.
Affirmative Action: I'm completely opposed to affirmative action.
Aid (International): I don't believe the United States should be aiding other nations. I do, however, feel it's okay if we were to receive something in return, similar to quid pro quo.
Arms Trade: No; I am against this.
Death Penalty: I fully support the death penalty. I feel it should be applied to all felonies and that the list of felonies should be rewritten, so that it may include many more violations.
Drones: I think it's morally and practically acceptable for the government to use drones against enemy combatants. I don't feel that innocent civilians should be attacked if it can be avoided; however, I don't feel that our priorities should revolve around avoiding collateral damage.
Drugs: Yes, to legitimate, therapeutic use. No, otherwise.
Economic System: I take the Fascistic model of corporatism but not as far as the Pope.
Education: College should be private. K-12 can remain free for now.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Yes; it may remain.
Environmentalism: I support environmentalism, but I feel that it should only be supported insofar as it allows progress.
Euthanasia: I'm against euthanasia, whether or not it is wanted by the potential recipient.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: I believe in both. I believe that God created the world and humans. I feel evolution is a tool used by God to advance other animals.
Gay Marriage: I'm against same-sex marriages and unions and partnerships on all levels. The same goes for homosexuality in general.
Gun Control: I feel guns should be regulated and that background checks be ran on anyone and everyone, who wishes to buy a firearm. I also feel that they should all be cataloged with the information of the owner.
Immigration Policies: I feel the U.S. needs to adopt stricter immigration policies by, in essence, stopping immigration.
Income Tax: I support taxation, but I don't believe that certain agencies or functions should be subsidized by those taxes. (Exempli gratia, socialized medicine.) I support a so-called progressive tax rate. I don't like the word "progressive," but I support the idea of it.
Iran: I don't believe we should be there to instill a democracy. The only reason we should be there is to eliminate terrorists and promote national safety.
Israel/Palestine: I support the one and only legitimate state: Israel.
LGBTQ Rights: I'm against LGBT… rights fully and completely.
Philosophy: Fascism.
Political Party Affiliation: I don't identify completely with any American political organizations, but the closest organization, with which I identify myself, is the Constitution Party. Out of the two major parties, however, I identify with the GOP the best.
President Obama/American Policies: I support neither Obama nor most of his policies.
Prostitution: I'm entirely against prostitution. I feel any participants of prostitution, regardless of their role in this iniquity, should be condemned to death.
Religion: I support religion in general and Christianity in specific.
Social Security: I feel social security should be privatized.
The UN: I feel the U.S. should withdraw from the U.N. immediately and remove its headquarters from the territory of the U.S.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I am not a vegan or vegetarian myself, and I find those practices to be inane.
War on Terror: I support this effort entirely.

Drones: *Shrugs*

Abortion: In cases of rape and risk of death only
Affirmative Action: Oppose
Aid (International): Support - but spending of said aid should be very closely monitored
Arms Trade: Eh. Whatever.
Death Penalty: Strongly support
Drones: Strongly oppose
Drugs: Marijuana should be legal to consume in the home only - nowhere else.
Economic System: Capitalism, though I'm not opposed to necessary state-intervention
Education: Should be the absolute top priority of the government. University should remain private, however.

Euthanasia: Support
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Both

The Fascist Federation of The Grand World Order
Real Name: Travis
Age: 18
General Location: Greeley, Colorado, United States of America

General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Lutheran
Where Did You Find NationStates?: I don't recall.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Nyet.
Professional Goal: The White House.
What is your favorite genre of music: Impossible to say, I'm far too varied. I listen to classical, rock, EDM, rap- it'd be easier to ask what I don't like.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English, German.
Other information: Fatherless, about to serve in the United States Marine Corps, motorcycle enthusiast, roleplayer, American footballer.

Abortion: Against it as a contraceptive, but not for outlawing it completely. Three "non-medical emergency" abortions per five years.
Affirmative Action: It is a problem, but many people blow it out of proportion. I'm against the concept, though.
Aid (International): Sure.
Arms Trade: I'm investing in it, problem?
Death Penalty: Yes.
Drones: Yes.
Drugs: Generally against. I don't do any nor do I plan on it, but I can recognize a futile effort when I see it.
Economic System: Corporatist.
Education: K-6 should be voluntary. K-12 should be free. Education would be much better if we didn't bother with those who know they will never apply themselves, as all they do is disrupt the education of other students.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Bad.
Environmentalism: Good, but often misguided or even counter-productive.
Euthanasia: Yes, but only for the absolutely hopeless situations; I'd hate for healthcare to become similar to veterinarian care, where euthanasia becomes the only choice because a patient can't afford care.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Both.
Gay Marriage: Yes.
Gun Control: No.
Immigration Policies: Against, at least when there's a lack of jobs. For, if there's enough work.
Income Tax: High for the wealthy.
Iran: Bomb their infrastructure and government/military to the stone age and leave them be. Come back every now and then whenever they get uppity and remind them where tinpot despots who try to take on the world belong.
Israel/Palestine: I stand with Israel.
LGBTQ Rights: Yes.
Philosophy: Fascist.
Political Party Affiliation: Reform Party.
President Obama/American Policies: Could be worse. The President is doing a mediocre job; being a Fascist, I demand more than mediocre.
Prostitution: No.
Religion: Yes.
Social Security: Yes. We pay into it, give us our damn money back.
The UN: Inefficient and globalist. It's a damn good thing we're at the helm, or I would utterly detest it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: They're missing out.
War on Terror: Yes.

Have you read any of Max Barry's books: No.

Which languages you can speak and/or write in: Spanish (mother tongue), English, Italian, a little German, Latin law maxims, some Japanese words.
Other information: Forever Alone.

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Pro-choice, but sexual education comes first.
Affirmative Action: I support the principle, but depends on the execution.
Aid (International): Give a man a fish, and he eats for the day. Teach a man how to fish, and he'll eat for his whole life.
Arms Trade: Don't like it.
Death Penalty: Against it.
Drones: I don't have an opinion due to not being versed in the matter.
Drugs: Straight-edge. Hard-core. However, I do not advocate for their ban (except perhaps harder drugs such as methamphetamines).
Economic System: Free market, but have the State work as a safety net.
Education: Education is a vital service of the State. Therefore, it should be free even for university.
Electoral College in USA Elections: I support direct vote.
Environmentalism: It's important.
Euthanasia: Agree with it, but it should be decided on a case-to-case basis.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution is your solution.
Gay Marriage: Yes.
Gun Control: Regulation doesn't hurt.
Immigration Policies: Free immigration.
Income Tax: It should be proportionally applied.
Iran: Help the people, let the government drown in its own corruption.
Israel/Palestine: Undecided, don't know about the matter.
LGBTQ Rights: They're no different than you and me. They deserve the same rights.
Philosophy: Bushîdo.
Political Party Affiliation: None.
President Obama/American Policies: Better than Romney or Gary Johnson.
Prostitution: Even if I won't be purchasing the service, I believe if it's out of free will it should be allowed. However, human trafficking should be watched out for.
Religion: There is only the Emperor, and he is our shield and protector.
Social Security: The State cannot leave its citizens out to fend for themselves.
The UN: Well-intentioned, and a step forward than the League of Nations, but since it cannot go over the State's sovereignty...
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Meat-eater and proud.
War on Terror: Served its purpose, bring the troops home.

QUINTIUM

Political Beliefs (i.e. name your ideology, if one applies): No clear-cut ideology

The Kingdom of Quintium
Real Name: Quentin
Age: 19
General Location: Netherlands
General Political Affiliation [if any]: n/a
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: n/a
Where Did You Find NationStates?: From someone I knew, 2007.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Books?
Professional Goal: Head of public prosecution. If that fails, lawyer or general jurist.
What is your favourite genre of music: Classic rock, classical music, Irish rebel music.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: Dutch, French, German.
Other information: Oh, no.

Abortion: Semantically speaking, I do think it's murder. It should be treated in non-emergency cases like we treat infanticide.
Affirmative Action: An absolute disgrace to society. Affirmative action is discrimination under a different name.
Aid (International): Bad idea; you create an artificial society that is bound to collapse. Look at Ethiopia, with massive population growth even during famines.
Arms Trade: Regimes that can be held responsible should be sold arms.
Death Penalty: Against from idealism, but pragmatically - why not?
Drones: Cowardly. If you want to kill someone, risk death. Don't be a video game coward.
Drugs: Soft drugs legalised and regulated; hard drugs banned and punished severely.
Economic System: Social security for those who can't help themselves; everyone else will work even if I have to whip them into it. Oh, kinky.
Education: Public education; no religious influence allowed.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: No idea - looks like a generally awful system.
Environmentalism: Skeptic.
Euthanasia: Fine if the patient makes the choice by himself.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution.
Gay Marriage: I'm a proponent of a system where we finally decide on marriage. A) Extend it to everyone and make it secular or B) Let religious organisations decide and abolish marriage as a legal thing.
Gun Control: Firearms should be regulated, but not kept away from the people. If the police are corrupt racist bastards, why would anyone want to arm only them?
Immigration Policies: Restrictive. Immigration in itself is fine, but only from compatible cultures and if there is a need here.
Income Tax: Simplified progressive income tax with no tax breaks for anyone.
Iran: I know the naughty zionists want to, and frankly I wouldn't care if they did.
Israel/Palestine: Israel. They're the only functioning democracy with human rights and a proper standard of life in the entire region. Palestine, on the other hand, has antisemitic laws in force. Being a European who's extremely annoyed by my government bending to Islam, I'd prefer the devil who's on my side, and that's Israel.
LGBTQ Rights: Go ahead - but biological sex still needs to be noted in official records.
Philosophy: We're all here to reproduce and spread our way of thinking.
Political Party Affiliation: PVV for European Parliament, SP for national parliament and SGP for local elections.
President Obama/American Policies: Obama is worse than Bush. Obama is doing the same thing, worse at times, and he's actually getting away with it.
Prostitution: Regulate, tax. The only way for me to get laid.
Religion: Anti-Islam, against fundamentalist anything, and secular.
Social Security: Only for those who need it.
The UN: Good intentions, horrible results.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Hippies. Don't like 'em, but I'll eat more meat to counter them.
War on Terror: We need to stop focusing on the rest of the world and defend our own countries.

[Korintar]

The Free Confederated Peoples of Korintar
Real Name: Joe
Age: 23
General Location: The Dakotas or Minnesota
General Political Affiliation [if any]: Socialist
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Lutheran (ELCA)
Where Did You Find NationStates?: A friend in high school introduced me to it
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Would like to if I had time
Professional Goal: Pastor or whatever God calls me to do
What is your favourite genre of music: Country, Rock, Metal, Irish folk- don't care for pop or hip hop that much
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English and Latin (kinda)
Other information: I am visually impaired

Abortion: Pro choice all the way
Affirmative Action: I'm not sure about it
Aid (International): Would support, but I am not sure we can afford it at this time. We need to get our house in order first.
Arms Trade: The United States government should stop engaging in the arms trade itself if it wants its enemies to quit arming terrorists. As a global hegemon, the US must lead by example.
Death Penalty: Under certain, rare, circumstances, I do support it.
Drones: They are problematic. A useful tool of war, true, but they are morally problematic.
Drugs: Legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana, and loosen restrictions on others to do serious research into both positive and negative effects. Put a moratorium on criminal drug charges until more research has been done. If they (the illicit drugs) are as bad as people claim, then enforce the bans. If not, tax and regulate the other substances as well.
Economic System: abolish the private banks, replace it with a decentralized network of state owned, democratically controlled credit unions. Turn all corporations into worker or consumer owned cooperatives, with each store or factory or plant retaining a significant degree of autonomy.
Education: Needs reform, but privatization and market based methods are horrible approaches to it.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Abolish it, please!
Environmentalism: I am a "hook and bullet" environmentalist- I support environmental protection measures because I am a fisherman
Euthanasia: support
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: To use Kenneth Burke's pentadic formula:
Act: Creation of the Universe
Agent: God
Agency: Evolution and Big Bang
Setting: All around us
Purpose: To make His love manifest
Gay Marriage: Even though I regard homosexual behavior to be sinful, because that is what Scripture plainly teaches, I do not think it warrants the restrictions of civil rights for the LGBT community. We should show love to the marginalized, which includes the aforementioned community, by respecting their liberties and existence. To be honest, I believe that there should be no laws beyond age of consent regarding who can marry whom and how many at a given time. I support legalization of polygyny, polyandry, and polygynandry.
Gun Control: Support
Immigration Policies: We are a nation of immigrants. Immigration issues are extremely complicated- there is no one size fits all fix to it. Any insta-fix would ultimately be destructive, so care must be taken. I do believe that immigration restrictions should be simplified and loosened- after all, we permit the freeflow of capital- labor should be the same way.
Income Tax: We need to raise taxes (estate tax, capital gains tax, corporate income tax, and individual income tax) on the rich to generate revenue and cut taxes on the poor, including state and local sales tax whose primary burden is on the poor, to stimulate demand.
Iran: If we ignore them, they will go away.

Prostitution: legalize and regulate, just like marijuana.
Religion: I am a religious person. I am a strong believer in religious pluralism and in encouraging diverse perspectives taking a center stage in civil society.
Social Security: Scrap the cap, don't privatize it. Expand Medicare to cover everyone as an NHS style universal healthcare system.
The UN: I support it, even if the US government which created it doesn't
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I have no problems with it. I eat meat, but I respect those who have decided it is not for them, for whatever reason.
War on Terror: We need to address the causes of terrorism, if we are to address how to end the use of violence as a political tool. Also, the actual war is practically over- we've decimated Al Qaeda, put their Taliban allies to flight, captured and killed their top leadership. Therefore, our mission is truly accomplished. Furthermore, much injustice has been committed in the name of protecting America from terrorists. We who are Americans are a nation in desperate need of repentance of our sins- our violence, our greed, our arrogance, our carelessness, our apathy, our lust, our boastfulness.
