THE SENATE YELLOW PAGES

---

Welcome to the NSG Senate Yellow Pages, the one-stop destination for all the info about characters, organizations and locations in the roleplay. In this thread, you will find the list of all of Dagmar's powerbrokers, politicians and characters, and learn more about the country's towns and villages, companies, organizations and even criminal syndicates.

Entries are grouped in the following categories:

PEOPLE

Senators
These are the people you have elected for the senate and these are the people who will decide your nation's future, so get acquainted lest you throw rotten fruit at the wrong person in the street!
Staffers
These are the unsung heroes that go through hell and high water to get their bosses that perfect media photo op or that last business class plane ticket. They work tirelessly to spin everything politicians do into the feel-good Hollywood movie of the year.
Other
A catch-all category that includes everyone from generals to journalists to Islamic terrorists.

INANINMATE OBJECTS AND IMMATERIAL THINGS

Locations
Looking for a place to have a rest? A place to go hiking? A place to raise a xenophobic lynch mob? We have all that and more.
Companies
From the little bistro at the corner of the block to the multinational conglomerate that makes a fortune by scamming innocent people, check them out here.
Organizations
Anything that's immaterial will find itself here.
Criminal Groups
The title should be self-explanatory, really.

So what are you waiting for?

Family: N/A

At the time however he father worked for the diplomatic services and in 1983 she was forced to move to Italy when her father was appointed as the next Dagmari Ambassador. Initially resentful at having to leave her homeland and friends behind she quickly assimilated into the local Italian-Dagmari community and began getting involved in local social and political events, becoming known and respected for her work for several local charities.

In 1998 she started attending the Sapienza University of Rome where she studied and eventually earned her Masters Degree in Political Science. In the same year she also become a member of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party and throughout her educational career became more involved in the affairs of the political movement, earning some recognition for her work in areas of social and foreign policy for the left-wing party.

In the subsequent election she became the elected representative for South Salto.

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• Will you ally with the SDP? - I'm sure that we will find common ground on multiple bills that are introduced over the common months. As for an official alliance that is in the hands of the membership of both parties.
• Do you support membership of NATO? - No. I don't think that current circumstances require us to be part of the defensive alliance
• Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations? - Yes. I believe that we have a moral responsibility to help those escape persecution and violence and any future government should work together with the United Nations to ensure we take our share
• Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change? - We should take immediate measures to reduce our carbon emissions and work together with the international community on this issue. Specifically we should be increasing energy efficiency, constructing renewable infrastructure, taking old cars off the road and promoting the use of public transport and cycling.
• Why did you enter politics? - I've been working in politics since early childhood so you could say that it has always been a passion of mine. I'm just dedicated to bringing democracy and economic justice to the people and becoming involved in Dagmari politics seemed to be the best place to achieve that goal following my career in Italy.
• Do you support same-sex marriage? - Yes.
• What is your favourite sport? - I enjoy swimming and playing tennis from time to time.
• Does you have an Italian Accent or Dagmarian Accent? -I suppose you could say I have developed a mixture of both accents. It also depends if I am speaking Italian or Dagmarian at the time.
• Given the recent events in the Sinai regarding the Metrojet crash how should the Dagmarn aviation authority do as many other nations have done and suspend flights in the region? - Yes.
  
  In the long-term I believe that Dagmar should work together with its partners in the international community to ensure that basic safety checks are carried out at all airports in the world.
• Do you support the establishment of the monarchy? - No. By its very nature the system of monarchy is archaic and undemocratic.
• Should Dagmar get involved in the Syrian conflict? - I believe we should limit ourselves to providing humanitarian assistance and cutting funds and supplies to ISIS.
• Pokemon or Digimon? - Pokemon.

[New Waterford]

Úlfrik Ásbjørnsson - National Revivalist Party

Account Name: New Waterford
Occupation: Member of parliament, former teacher
Party Position(s): Member of the Shadow Committee on Health
Positions in Government: N/A
Constituency: Víndhjalmur/59
Political Ideology: National Revivalism, Neo-fascism, Dagmarian nationalism, Lofoten irredentism
Family: Unmarried
Background: Úlfrik Ásbjørnsson was born in the small town of Áxógur on 18th July 1958, to a wealthy middle class household. Prior to becoming a politician, Úlfrik worked as a teacher in a state school in his hometown, where he was well known for being a strict disciplinarian. His father, Ásbjørn Pádlsson, was an active member of a now-defunct moderate right-wing party in Dagmar. Ásbjørn's political activism left a great impression on his son, who was inspired to enter the world of politics. Initially a member of the same party as his father, Úlfrik's views gradually drifted further right as Dagmarian society grew more and more progressive. He took interest in the Lofoten Málefnum Ráðið (LMR) when the party was still relatively obscure, becoming a member in the 1990s. After the LMR changed its name to the National Revivalists in 2006, and received a sudden wave of popularity, Úlfrik was elected MP for the town of Víndhjalmur in 2010, and he was appointed as a Member of the Shadow Committe on Health in late 2015.
Faith: Unspecified
Likes: The Dagmarian nation, tradition, order, discipline, diligence
Dislikes: Progressivism, Multiculturalism, lack of fluency in the Dagmarian language, individualism, laziness
Any Questions from the Public to be answered? Open for questions.

• What exactly is neo-fascism? Neo-fascism is simply the name given to post-WW2 ideologies and movements, including the New Blood Initiative for the Revitalisation of the Dagmar Nation, which incorporate elements of classical fascism of the 1920s and '30s.
• Do you support membership of NATO? I am personally against joining NATO, as that would jeopardise our sovereignty as a nation.
• Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations? No. Dagmar is not to blame for the problems faced by citizens of Third World countries, so I don't see why we should carry that burden.
• Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change? I do not believe that climate change is man-made. However, fossil fuels are inefficient and scarce sources of energy, which is why I support the replacement of those industries with nuclear power.
• Do you support same-sex marriage? I believe a main purpose of marriage is procreation. As homosexual partners cannot procreate, they should not be allowed to marry.

[Collatis]

Jakob Östberg - Social Democratic Party

Account Name: Collatis
Occupation: Senator
Party Position(s): Party President
Positions in Government: N/A
Constituency: Koppenberg
Political Ideology: Social Democracy, Progressivism, Internationalism, Secularism, Pluralism
Family: N/A
Background: Jakob Östberg is the descendant of native Dagmarians, Swedes, and Jewish Danes. The latter were evacuated from their native Denmark by the Danish resistance movement to neutral Sweden to escape persecution by the occupying Nazis. Jakob's Danish grandfather then married a Lutheran Swede. Their son went to university in the nearby Dagmar to study Pagan culture, which he was deeply interested in. He decided to stay due to the charming culture, landscape, and women. He married a fellow university student after getting his degree and settled down in Koppenberg, a mid sized coastal city in the south of Dagmar. Jakob was born to them in 1985. He grew up deeply interested in history, politics, and the cultures of the world. After attending Berg University, where his parents had attended, gaining his Master's in Political Science, he became involved in local politics, serving on Koppenberg's city council, and later as mayor, where he focused on rooting out corruption and fighting inequality. He then decided to seek higher office and was elected as a Senator on the SDP ticket.
Faith: Irreligious (Nominally Lutheran)
Likes: Snow, High-Fives, Catchphrases, Pragmatism, Swedes
Dislikes: Ethnic Nationalism, Xenophobia, Fascism, Fake Communism (Fascism), Complaining
Any questions from the public to be answered?

• Do you believe that Dagmar should take in a share of the Syrian refugees entering Europe? - It is our responsibility, as citizens of the world, and as a nation blessed with wealth and prosperity, to give assistance to those in need. Other countries may have to bear the majority of refugees, but Dagmar must do its part, or else surrender any chance of solidarity with our European allies.
• 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.
• With the latest Chemical Weapon attack in Syria how do you feel the international community should handle the issue of WMD's in the Syrian Civil War and in general? - A total disregard for human rights has characterized ISIS' actions both in the Syrian Civil War and beyond. The international community must band together against the use of WMDs. Dagmar must condemn their use, no matter who is at fault, whether it is our enemies or our allies.
• Would you argue for intervention [in Syria] by Dagmari soldiers? - I would only support Dagmari military intervention in Syria as a part of a larger coalition of nations. As of now, the best thing we can do is to intervene through the monetary support and arming of moderate secular rebels, and through our support of the United States' actions against both ISIS and Assad.
• Moving on to other topics, how do you feel about giving law enforcement the ability to surveil suspected terrorists or terrorist sympathizers without a warrant? - The right to privacy is as fundamental a right as any, and it is a clear violation of the right to surveil without warrant.
• Do you support same-sex marriage? - Every person, no matter their color, creed, or sexuality, should have the right to marry who they love.

• Member of Folketing, Centre Bloc member
• Minister of Foreign Affairs
• Chairperson of the Science, Technology and Research Committee
• Member of the Commerce, Financial Affairs and Banking Committee

Constituency: TBA
Political Ideology: Moderate, Centrist
Family: Husband, one child
Background: After being born in Iceland, her family which consisted of her two older sisters and her parents moved to Dagmar when she was just five years old. She lived a normal life in the suburbs, but developed a passion for human rights, secular humanism and promptly quit the church while she was still young, upsetting her family but in time accepted her decision. Ever since then, she has involved herself in the political scene. In the past, she was an ardent socialist in her university days (like all good university students), before being disillusioned by the movement, she shifted towards the middle, identifying with the population who were fed up with left/right politics and wanted common-sense policies. She wanted a voice for those for all, not for those with vested interests. That's why she joined the Centre Bloc. Compromise is something she values dearly, and she hopes that all those in the parliament work together to achieve a common cause, the betterment of their citizens. She has arthritis and moves around in a mobility wheelchair.

Ingvar Landvik - Revolutionary Socialist Party

Account Name: Irona
Occupation: Senator / Professor of History & Politics Husnar University
Party Position(s):

N/A

Positions in Government:

N/A

Constituency: Husnar
Political Ideology: Communism, Nationalism, Revolutionary Socialism
Family: Wife: Audhild Landvik -- Children: Embla (14) Hakkon (14) Lucia (9) Arvid (8)
Background: Ingvar was born to a typical middle class Dagmar family, he did well at school and developed a keen interest in the history of his country alongside a more casual one in politics. However Ingvar became radicalised by a far-left group early in his time at university and after being involved in violent student protests became a committed communist. He joined a student’s union and quickly managed to radicalise it into what was later to become the revolutionary students union. Midway through university he met his future wife Audhild, she shared his views and before either of them had left university she was pregnant with the twins Embla and Hakkon.

Ingvar left university with a 2:1 in History & Politics having long ago set his sights on becoming a radical union organiser. Ingvar viewed the entire world as a class struggle and saw unions as a weapon of attack by the workers in the fight against the capitalist system. Throughout his twenty’s and early thirty’s he travelled across Dagmar pursuing his ideological goal, building revolutionary unions from the ground up and reforming old unions into the weapons of the ‘coming revolution’. While Ingvar travelled he never lost his interest in History, he read papers and wrote articles. He dug into the ancient history of Dagmar as he moved across the country eventually publishing several books on the subject. They proved ground breaking. Within a year he became a core part of the academic world of Dagmar lecturing at universities and city halls as he crossed the country.

Although his revolutionary zeal had not faded Ingvar was growing older, and after some begging from his wife he accepted a position as a Professor of History & Politics at the University of Placename. He at once began the process of expanding the remains of his old Revolutionary Students Union this, alongside a feverish new uptake of the Ásatrú faith became almost his all consuming passion. Still after a year he became disillusioned with his new place and feeling a burning ideological drive inside him joined the revolutionary socialist party. With relentless organisational skill, firey speeches and an absolutely honest populist platform Ingvar won the seat by a landslide. Still a die hard communist, he looks forward to the coming utopia.

Faith: Ásatrú
Likes: Communism, Nationalism, History, Unions, Revolution, Puppys
Dislikes: Capitalists, Political Opponents, Globalisation, Milky Tea and Soggy Biscuits

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Aðalgrímr Mennjegersson - Revolutionary Socialist Party

Account Name: Prussia-Steinbach
Occupation: Politician
Party Position(s): Party Lawspeaker, Commissar of Revolutionary Guard
Positions in Government: N/A
Constituency: Seggrjavik
Political Ideology: Leninism, National Communism, State Socialism
Family: Wife, Britt
Background: Aðalgrímr Mennjegersson was born in the rural town of Seggrjavik in Dagmar's mountainous northern reaches. His family was relatively poor, and he grew up largely independent, with both of his parents working and as an only child. He had grown politically conscious by his teens, and was sympathetic to leftist labor movements, largely influenced by his father's status as a stout union man. He joined the military when he was eighteen, and served until he was thirty-two, rising up the ranks to become an NCO with a reputation for a firm, yet kind hand. Once leaving the service, he returned home and became involved in local politics, becoming a member of the town council for many years as he also became invested in the fishing business, pushing for democratic and collectivist transitions in the sector.
By the time he was involved in national politics in his forties, he had begun accruing a small fortune and a reputation for philanthropy. Now in his fifties, he has risen to the position of Lawspeaker in the Revolutionary Socialist Party, and is the founder and Commissar of the Party's security force, the Revolutionary Guard. He has been instrumental in the RSP's rise to power as the largest party in the Dagmar Thing, and is also the initiator of the proposed coalition between his own party, the National Revivalists, and the Pagan Front.
Faith: Ásatrú
Likes: Cold weather, weight lifting, target shooting, fishing, nature, strategy games, Dagmar
Dislikes: Christians, Continentals, vegetables, social democrats, the bourgeois, individualism, Sweden
Any questions from the public to be answered?

• Do you support membership in NATO?
  No. We must ensure the nation's sovereignty at all costs, and entangling international agreements put that in jeopardy.
  
• Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations?
  No. These are countries with cultures in diametric opposition to our own, and we cannot have their people coming here, relying on our generosity, sucking our coffers dry and diluting our noble society.
  
• Do you think Dagmar should take steps to tackle climate change?
  Of course. Climate change is real, and it is an issue; the abolition of capitalism would be a great first step to addressing it.
  
• 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.
  
• How do you plan to deal with the ever-expanding Dagmarn financial sector?
  The Western financial sector has become a pit of snakes, the highest echelon of bloodsucking capitalist hierarchy. Banks must be nationalized and conglomerated into a central, state institution, acting in the interest of Dagmar's working people, not wealthy foreign investors. White collar criminals must be held fully accountable for their misdeeds and punished according to the will of the poor whose very survival they infringe upon. This is how we must deal with the situation; not with a soft hand, guided by the bourgeois lobbyist, but with the fist of the proletariat, striking down those who would do it harm.
  
• Who should deal with Syria?
  Syrians.
  
• What does religious freedom mean to you?
  The freedom to worship the gods of one's land. It should not extend to forcing beliefs down others' throats, diluting a native culture with foreign barbarism; our traditions and way of life must be protected. This should be the policy of every nation.
  
• How do you feel about compulsory union membership?
  I am firmly in support of it. I believe every worker in this great nation should be a member of a strong, revolutionary union, dedicated to the ideals of socialism and syndicalism. They should all work for, and reap, the benefits of collective bargaining in the current capitalist system. Anything less would be dishonest and a vicious jab at the heart of labor itself, the very backbone of any successful country. Scabs and opportunists have no place in Dagmar.

Aðalragnarr followed the footsteps of his parents at the age of 22 after enrolling in a local university. A few years later, Sindrisson became a socialist, making a successful effort to organise a union of the pilgrimage workers for better pay, additionally campaigning for a return of the pilgrimage industry to its traditional roots and abandoning profit; this directly lead to his introduction to and supporting the ideas of socialism and later communism. However, his status as the leader of a union primarily made up of pilgrimage workers (a distinctly Pagan demographic) led to him additionally strongly opposing immigration and Christianity; in 2006, Sindrisson was elected Mayor of Krellrvatn on a mix of socialism and traditionalism, although that position is not as powerful as would be initially thought due to heavy influence from both the local Asatruarfelagif Goðar and the strong powers of Krellrvatn's directly democratic monthly Thing, a historical leftover from a millennium ago.

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• Do you support membership of NATO? I strongly oppose membership of NATO, to protect our sovereignty in dealing with our own affairs.
• Do you think we should accept refugees from Syria, Iraq and other nations? 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.

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.

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.
• How do you plan to deal with the ever-expanding Dagmarn financial sector? In order to prevent a situation like the Great Depression in the 1930s or more recently our close neighbour Iceland in 2008, it is necessary to bring the Dagmarn financial sector under public ownership; this will additionally remove stains upon our great nation such as the practice of Usury, profiting off the savings of individuals, and massive foreclosures that often lead to homelessness.
• Who should deal with Syria? The major world powers---the United States, Russia, China, Brazil, etc, should help develop and send aid to an international coalition dealing with the local powers in the region---Turkey, Iran, etc., to establish a temporary alliance between the Government, the Opposition, and the Kurdish independence forces in order to combat al-Nusra and ISIS.

Lao Xifeng - Golden Civics

Account Name: Davincia
Occupation: Senator, Bhikkhuni
Party Position(s):

Senator

Positions in Government:

Senator

Constituency: Ormsa
Political Ideology: Libertarianism, Anarcho-Capitalism, Agorism, Classical Liberalism
Family: 2 adopted children
Background: Lao Xifeng was not a citizen of Dragay by birth, but rather a former resident of Beijing with absolute an loathing for Chinese politics. The blinding nature of state control was obvious to her even as a child. She refined her intellectual skills before becoming a foreign exchange student, wherein Lao received a whole new perspective on the world around her. Spending an equal amount of years in the United States, the UK, and even South Korea, the young woman placed a heavy emphasis on the study of government and economics. She returned to China with fluency in English and a desire to change her home country.

Unfortunately, though, many of Lao's books on personal freedom were censored by the CPC. Afterwards her entire view on government shifted from begrudging tolerance to animosity. While she lived in Taiwan, partially as a self-inflicted exile, Lao became an outspoken critic of all state control. Conversely, she denounced socialism as a 'great evil' that required dissolution. Her views were regarded as extreme, and the critical backlash pushed her out of Taiwan. It was around this time that Lao adopted her son and daughter, children who were neglected from the one-child policy of neighboring China.

The decision to relocate in Dragay was surely painful for the idealistic woman. Every fiber of Lao's being distrusted the countless welfare states of Scandinavia, and a removal from all things Buddhist made her incredibly homesick. However, she still felt the need to promote her ideas, and the easiest way to do so was by running for office. Although Lao never anticipated a victory, a small group of supporters from the town she resided in elected her into Dragay's legislature, surprising political pundits and her own constituents alike.
