Death Penalty: Preferably no
Drones: Those little flying cameras they have at weddings? They're cool. Unmanned bomb things? No.
Drugs: Marijuana is actually beneficial in most cases, legalize fully. Things like meth need to be stopped. But instead of imprisonment, we should rehabilitate users of such drugs.

Where Did You Find NationStates?: Yahoo! Answers
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: No
Professional Goal: I want to be involved in the making of policy -- either as a legislative aide, think tank researcher, or candidate for political office.
What is your favourite genre of music: I like a bunch of stuff, but my favorite kind of music is slow, passionate, and romantic.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English
Other information: Beware deep political discussions.

Abortion: Pro-choice.
Affirmative Action: It should be used where real discrimination exists, but no one should be hired/accepted into a university based on race.
Aid (International): Instead of general foreign aid, I think the U.S. should focus on granting/loaning money to aspiring business owners in developing countries. This benefits us in the long term as we get a return on our investments, and it helps people in permanent ways not possible under our current system. But for the mean time, sending food/medical supplies to people throughout the world is critical.
Arms Trade: We need to stand against it.
Death Penalty: Against
Drones: Against
Drugs: Instead of outlawing it, educate people and establish rehab clinics. Prohibition isn't working, we need another solution.
Economic System: Mixed market capitalism with social welfare
Education: Colleges should be free/reduced cost
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: We should move towards a full popular vote.
Environmentalism: In favor. Climate change is real and affecting us.
Euthanasia: Should be legal.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution
Gay Marriage: In favor.
Gun Control: We need universal background checks in this country.
Immigration Policies: I support an open borders policy in the United States. The only exceptions being people with known dangerous records.
Income Tax: I support a progressive income tax.
Iran: The United States needs to work together with Iran and improve relations after a bitter century of conflict.
Israel/Palestine: Each side should have their own territory.
LGBTQ Rights: Strongly in favor.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): I believe all humans are free, sovereign, and inherently good.
Political Party Affiliation: Democratic
President Obama/American Policies: I generally like his politics (and have great admiration for the man himself). He did a great job with the Iran Deal and opening up relations with Cuba, took a step in the right direction with Obamacare, and has defended the rights of women, people of color, LGBT citizens, etc. I do disagree with how willing he has been to use military force and wish that we could move towards a non-interventionist policy.
Prostitution: I think we should legalize it, but closely regulate to prevent trafficking and assault.
Religion: Religious freedom, love, respect, and tolerance is key.
Social Security (Welfare): In full support.
The UN: I support the UN.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not one myself, but I respect people who are.
War on Terror: We shouldn't go to war with a noun.

Other information: I very much enjoy life.

Abortion: A foetus isn't a living, breathing creature, and it's the mother's choice.
Affirmative Action: The fact that there should have been any reason for it in the first place sickens me.
Aid (International): We should take more of a, "quid pro quo" stance.
Arms Trade: Ban it.
Death Penalty: Ban it.
Drones: They're kind of cool, but killing people remotely shouldn't be us. We should arrest them and put them through the due process of the International Courts of Justice in The Hague.
Drugs: Legalize, heavily regulate, and tax marijuana. Coke should be a government monopoly and standards for sales should be left to the state.
Economic System: Mixed market, heavily regulated.
Education: Pre-K through 12 should be free, as well as community college. Student loans should have very limited interest rates and should be monopolized by the government. College needs to remain paid for.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: I always found it annoying. Leave elections up to the people!
Environmentalism: I agree with most policies, but not so far as to halt progress.
Euthanasia: Completely legal, done by licensed specialized doctors with government oversee.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution. I lost faith in my parents' religion (Judaism) once I realized that if this "God" was a benevolent force, he wouldn't be a egotistical megalomaniacal mass murderer.
Gay Marriage: Legalize. Equality FTW!
Gun Control: Everything but pistols for self-defense and rifles for hunting = banned.
Immigration Policies: Lax.
Income Tax: Progressive tax rate.
Iran: We've wasted 5 trillion on the Middle East. Enough.
Israel/Palestine: It's the country of Judaism, my birth religion. Except I'm not Jewish anymore. So, enough with the bombing. A bigger fence and perhaps an organized government in Gaza would be a terrific idea.
LGBTQ Rights: I support.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Meh.
Political Party Affiliation: The US is so screwed up, I'm going with the Socialist Party of France.
President Obama/American Policies: Obama's made baby steps in the right direction. But some of his policies are too conservative for me.
Prostitution: Legalize, regulate, and oversee.
Religion: Secularism.
Social Security (Welfare): Overhaul the system.
The UN: It's a cat with 192 heads, most are corrupt. And arguing over the tail is more entrancing than solving the world's problems.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I like meat.
War on Terror: Gah. End it already.

Political Beliefs (i.e. name your ideology, if one applies): See Below

The Iverik Empire of Pandeeria
Real Name: Evan (I'm not saying my last name)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
General Location: Wisconsin, USA
General Political Affiliation [if any]: I generally associate with several terms including Left-Wing, Liberal, Capitalistic, Social Democrat, Liberal Socialism, Realistic Equalitarianism, and more.
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: I'm an atheist, and some would easily consider me a soft-core anti-theist. I don't blame them.
Where Did You Find NationStates?: I typed in "Nation Simulation Game" because I was really bored, and found this.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: No, they look kinda interesting, but I don't plan on purchasing them.
Professional Goal: Im not sure. I would like to work in the science (specially Space or Biology), Medicine, or Technology Industry (specifically coding and software for games and such).
What is your favourite genre of music: I don't really listen to music.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: I'm fluent in English (obviously) outside of that I have an ultra-crude understanding of Spanish, which I can write and speak several very basic phrases. I also use to know some German phrases, but I forgot most of them. It's actually a goal for me to become fluent on Spanish. I don't really care if it's arbitrary or stupid, it's one of my goals.
Other information: Nope!

Abortion: I could write a lot about social issues such as this, however I believe Abortion should be allowed if requested, and free.
Affirmative Action: Well-intentioned, but it's in of itself racist.
Aid (International): We should increase aid.
Arms Trade: I don't have much of an opinion on it.
Death Penalty: Should be completely abolished. The only crime I ever see worthy of the Death Penalty is Genocide.
Drones: Shouldn't be used domestically. It should be used for spying and recon within foreign nations.
Drugs: Marijuana should be legalized, regulated, and heavily taxed and should have a age requirement of 21. Hardcore drugs should remain illegal unless they are medically prescribed.
Economic System: Capitalist, but moderate regulated. A planned economy is terrible for all, and a libertarian-like economy is terrible for everyone but the rich.
Education: Should be funded more, needs to be reformed, also. College should be completely free.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: The Electoral College is an undemocratic chunk of bureaucracy that needs to be removed. I'm not for pure democracy, though I think the presidential election should be determined by popular vote.
Environmentalism: Depends. Mild Environmentalism is excellent. However, anti-Industrialization Environmentalism that wants to lower our living standard is a big no-no.
Euthanasia: If the patient cannot be cured, and he or she requests it, then it should be allowed and free of charge.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution. It should be taught in schools. Churches can teach creationism.
Gay Marriage: Should be openly legal if all the individuals agree to it and are at least 18 years of age.
Gun Control: I think things like banning Fully automatic weapons, silencers, extended mags, grenades, and such is fine. A total ban is stupid.
Immigration Policies: We sure clamp down on Immigration. Regulate it more, increase border security, and such.
Income Tax: Should be progressive, and relatively high.
Iran: Iran is a disgusting, theocratic, hell-hole.
Israel/Palestine: Israel definitely.
LGBTQ Rights: They should be treated fairly, like normal human beings that they are, and should have equal rights.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): I believe in things such as freedom, liberty, and Justice with a very sensible and realistic tint. Telegram me if you want me to explain further.
Political Party Affiliation: I should form my own Liberal Socialist Party, as of right now, no Party represents me well enough to identify with it. However, between Republicans and Democrats, I'm a lot more similar to Democrats.
President Obama/American Policies: Obama is underrated, though he is okay.
Prostitution: Should be legal, regulated, and taxed.
Religion: Religion use to be helpful, but it's outlived it's usefulness. At this point, I would like religion to go away as fast and peacefully as possible.
Social Security (Welfare): Needs to be reformed, and should be funded more.
The UN: A nice organization, needs reform and it's own army though. Also, remove nations like Russia and the US from the security Council. Though we're a lot better off with it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: It's a silly hip & edgy fad. It will stay around for a while, but it still is nonetheless silly, and unhealthy. Those who think they should be Vegan/Vegetarian are helping to "keep the animals alive" should go to a elementary level economics class.
War on Terror: It's well intentioned, yet I cannot shake the feeling that it's purpose has slowly shifted into reducing our freedoms.

Other information:

Abortion: Pro Choice
Affirmative Action: Against, though I'm 100 percent racism, I just think that affirmative action treats the symptoms, but not the underlying illness, it's basically saying "there's racism about, and fuck all we can do about it"
Aid (International): Pro
Arms Trade: Against
Death Penalty: Against
Drones: Against
Drugs: I'd immediately have marijuana legalised and the rest decriminalised, I'd then support a gradual legalisation of the rest. I'd personally have the drug industry nationalised and run by the public sector, so that some of the profits could go towards rehabilitation services for those affected, over all I think that with a system like this one the use rate of hard drugs would rapidly go down
Economic System: Mixed-market capitalist economy/social democracy, with a long term gradual transition into a Socialist system once technology develops further, though I am currently undecided as to what form of Socialism I would eventually support (Market vs Planned etc)
Education: It should be all free, university included
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: It sounds terrible, but in general I think the US electoral system is way too money based and needs a complete overhaul
Environmentalism: For, I support renewable energy and a slow phasing out of oil/gas/coal etc, but at the same time, I also support a well regulated publically run nuclear sector
Euthanasia: For, assuming the individual is mentally able
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution
Gay Marriage: For
Gun Control: For
Immigration Policies: I'm very pro immigration, and I think that as more nations continue to develop, the ideas of free movement should spread
Income Tax: I support a progressive tax that makes the wealthiest pay their fair share, and benefits the poor/lower middle classess
Iran: They're not the nicest lot but we could use them against ISIS
Israel/Palestine: Two state solution, but I see Palestine as more of the victim, though overall I support the idea of Israel and Palestine living side by side as two independent functioning democratic states
LGBTQ Rights: Pro
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): I don't really have one atm
Political Party Affiliation: None, I'm very warily considering joining the Labour party UK though, I'm 50/50 atm, I do quite like some of what the Greens say also , and the future workers party that the RMT might be creating in 2015 also interests me, so atm undecided
President Obama/American Policies: He's a fairly spineless centre-right kind of guy who would be a typical Conservative over in Europe, yet is some how a Leftist in the USA, but he's better than the Republican alternative
Prostitution: I support the legalisation of it
Religion: Seperation of church and state, but people can follow whatever religion they want
Social Security (Welfare):Pro
The UN: They're okay, and they're trying
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Nty, I like eating meat too much
War on Terror: Created Isis and the entire mess we're in now, nty

What is your favourite genre of music: Classical and techno would be up there.

Other information: N/A

Abortion: In most cases, the rights of the mother supersede the rights of the fetus. That is not to say the fetus has no rights, however.
Affirmative Action: Generally neutral. It isn't a high priority issue for me.
Aid (International): If the people of a nation are in need of our help and we can provide it, we should, especially if they are friendly to us.
Arms Trade: No strong opinion.
Death Penalty: Never. Violates the UDHR.
Drones: Drones are a technology with much potential, but their current use in warfare should be scaled down.
Drugs: The vast majority of currently illegal drugs should be legalized.
Economic System: Capitalism has led to the most benefit and development for humanity as a whole. Alternative systems have failed to succeed.
Education: Public education should be a very high priority, but it needs to be more centralized in this nation.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: A relic of the past in need of replacement.
Environmentalism: I consider myself conservationist. Unfortunately, many people use the label 'environmentalist' to push abhorrent views, like anti-nuclear energy and anti-GMO.
Euthanasia: The right to die is as important as the right to live, in the case of the terminally ill.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Darwinian evolution has scientific backing, unlike creationism or 'Intelligent Design'. Creation has as much place in science classes as the geocentric model.
Gay Marriage: The right of any two consenting adults to marry should be recognized.
Gun Control: The right to own weapons should be guaranteed to all sane citizens without a criminal record.
Immigration Policies: Immigration policies should be liberalized, and it should in general be made easier to become American.
Income Tax: More or less a necessary evil, but if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.
Iran: A tyranny that has a better human rights record than Saudi Arabia, but is against America.
Israel/Palestine: Israel is a democratic state currently committing atrocities, and is run by the borderline fascist Likud and Netanyahu. Palestine isn't blameless but if we supported their independence, we'd gain an ally.
LGBTQ Rights: Essential to the furthering of human liberty.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Classical Liberal, and Humanist.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Obama/American Policies: President Obama should be impeached for violating the Sixth Amendment.
Prostitution: Should be legalized and regulated.
Religion: Freedom of and from Religion is an essential right to all individuals.
Social Security (Welfare): Necessary in the case of the extremely poor. Should probably be reformed though.
The UN: One of the greatest organizations the world has ever seen.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: People have the right to decide what they want to eat, or not eat.
War on Terror: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. A quagmire of misery that failed to produce notable results.

Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English, un peu français


Abortion: Pro-Choice.
Affirmative Action: Supportive.
Aid (International): Supportive, 0.7% of GDP is ideal.
Arms Trade: Extremely regulated.
Death Penalty: Completely opposed.
Drones: They can be preferable to ground action but it's important to ensure there are safeguards when using them and that they aren't used recklessly.
Drugs: I support the legalisation, regulation, and taxation of cannabis. Possession of other illegal drugs should be decriminalised, with it treated as a medical issue - compulsory rehabilitation. Don't just leave heroin abusers alone, but don't give them a criminal record - give them help.
Economic System: Social-democratic mixed economy.

Education: Free and public from early childhood through university and adult education.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Abolish it - replace with instant-runoff popular vote.
Environmentalism: Supportive of pro-environment policies, climate change is a huge problem. Supportive of a strong price on carbon, regulations of emissions, protection of forests and nature, sustainable development, public transport and cycling over cars, etc.
Euthanasia: I support voluntary euthanasia for terminally ill patients who have a clear mental status.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution.

Gay Marriage: 100% supportive.
Gun Control: I support very strict gun control - firearm ownership should be restricted to those who need it, like farmers, hunters, and sport shooters, and should be tightly controlled.
Immigration Policies: In the US? A path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. I support a points-based immigration system too.
Income Tax: Progressive, with earned income and investment income taxed equally.
Israel/Palestine: Support a 2-state solution along 1967 borders.

LGBTQ Rights: Very supportive of LGBT rights and equality, as well as hate crime and hate speech legislation.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Eh, it changes. Not sure for now.

Political Party Affiliation: US is the Democratic Party - progressive wing.
President Obama/American Policies: He's okay. I used to be more of a fan of him before 2012 but now he's just "eh".
Prostitution: Supportive of the legalisation of prostitution, with an evidence-based focus on harm reduction.
Religion: I'm not particularly religious, but I'm fine with it as long as politics are secular.
Social Security (Welfare): I support a universal welfare state, similar to the Nordic Model.
The UN: I support the UN - it's not perfect, but I think it's generally a force for good, and for cooperation, human development, and multilateral action.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not a vegetarian or vegan.

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

What is your favourite genre of music: It really depends on the mood.
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: N/A
Other information: N/A

Abortion: Solidly pro-choice, legally protected by SCOTUS.
Affirmative Action: Against, instead what we need to do is make sure all Americans across racial lines get the same opportunity for an education. In the absence of that, pragmatically in favor.
Aid (International): Strongly in favor, the U.S. must reach the 0.7 percent of GDP international guideline and render economic support for developing nations.
Arms Trade: Against, we must regulate the practice.
Death Penalty: Against, though willing to compromise.
Drones: Unless there is an all-out war, I am against the use of drones to kill suspected terrorists. There is too high a risk for civilians to be harmed.
Drugs: Instead of punishing non-violent drug users with prison, we need to put our money into good rehabilitation and employment programs. The best way to reduce drug use is making sure that these people have good jobs and community support. I am against the drug war as is, but would not favor legalization (cannabis being a major exception).
Economic System: Capitalism
Education: Universal preschools, colleges, and vocational training programs are essential in creating an employable and educated America.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Electors should be partitioned proportionally instead of on a winner-take-all basis. There's no need for a constitutional amendment for this one, only state laws.
Environmentalism: Investing in sustainable energies is key for the future. I'm not as pure as the Green Party, and recognize coal/gas as creating good jobs for Americans. But we need to change our long term strategy.
Euthanasia: Pro-choice, people should be able to decide for themselves which is the right decision.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution
Gay Marriage: Strongly in favor, of course.
Gun Control: I support the second amendment and right to bear arms. But this does not take away my enthusiasm for universal background checks, federal assault weapons bans (as has been done in the past), etc.
Immigration Policies: Pass the DREAM act, expand the workers' visa program, secure the border, grant current undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship if the follow the law/pay taxes, deport those who commit crimes and pose a threat to our communities.
Income Tax: Permanently extend the Bush tax cuts for middle class Americans (just as was done a few years ago), but we need higher rates on all forms of taxes for higher income people. I imagine something along the Clinton lines. Progressive taxation is key.
Iran: Maintain our diplomacy with regards to their nuclear program, and gradually open relations. However, we must also stand firm with Israel.
Israel/Palestine: Two-state solution, end the occupation of the West Bank, but still stand with our closest democratic ally in the region.
LGBTQ Rights: Strongly and unapologetically in favor.
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Thomas Aquinas' philosophy interests me, but I am currently an agnostic atheist. I guess I follow the principles of John Locke.
Political Party Affiliation: Democratic Party (United States)
President Obama/American Policies: I am a firm supporter of Barack Obama. We are closer than ever before to universal health care (the uninsured rate having dropped from 18.6 percent to 11.9 percent), are on a pathway to peace with Iran/Cuba, and strongly support his calls for expanded child care and free colleges.
Prostitution: Legalize, but make sure that susceptible women know that they have other opportunities in life.
Religion: The freedom of religion is very important.
Social Security (Welfare): Government should make sure that all Americans have access to health insurance, a higher education, child care, etc. That is the safety net of a civilized society. The OASDI program is essential and must be protected through raising the payroll tax cap and expecting those who are privileged to contribute more.
The UN: Strongly support.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not one myself.
War on Terror: We need to stop intervening in the Middle East. It will continue to be nothing but trouble,
