A New Nation (Character/Political Party RP) - OOC

[World Anarchic Union]

I didn't know I could specify as the elections were already held. Now I ahve to wait two weeks for the next ones.
If a coalition is accepted as I have already proposed it, will I be in the Senate as a seat for the Coalition?

No it doesn't work like that, the only way you can get a senate seat before elections is if you join a party that has seats.

Ok. Will the coalition be accepted by the Progressives? Also, in the next elections, if the coalition is accepted and wins, can I get a seat?

When it gets closer to elections I'll decide whether we accept or not. I'm not making a decision right now because you have nothing to offer. If you're party gets voted then you'll get seats.

[Claven]

Hey terrelis, maybe we could form a pan-left coalition and force the conservatives to deal with us if they want to pas any legislation.

How do the elections work, exactly? Do I vote for my own party?

Capitalist Libertarian Party. Who wouldn't want to vote for us. We let people have their money, have private land, and have a say in what they own, and they have a lot of freedoms and don't have a crippling tax rate due to small government.

And also, to add my last words on the Healthcare thing, I'm not against Public Healthcare in it's entirety. A mix of Public/Private Healthcare is pretty good, but enough of a balance so that it's not mostly either. And by mostly I mean if one gets larger than 69%.

[Claven]

The existence of a national health system will not eliminate private healthcare, but only provide free healthcare for those in the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder. Not to say that the rich aren't allowed the same right, but where I'm from, they'd rather go to private hospitals

And terrelis, in the senate your legislation should be called bills not acts. Forgot to mention that in our discussion

1. Yeah, I could support a Public Healthcare system that isn't too large.

2. Bills is the official term until they're passed into laws.

This could be a possibility

Elections will be conducted here and yes you can vote for yourself.

Technically they can be called anything since there is nothing stating otherwise, remember this is Columbia we don't have very many rules.

Sorry forgot to get rid of the WIP

Aedan MacNumara needs an application.

Jackson Foharrister

Male

38

Born North of Columbia in Tel Aviv, Israel. Foharrister became a huge political activist for democracy and economic advancement in Israel. After the death of his mother, Foharrister moved to Teervat, Columbia. His influential speeches of a direct democratic process and a more valuable form of currency placed a grip on groups of people plotted across Columbia. Eventually, Foharrister was elected as a Senator and Viceroy (if I can only choose one, I choose Senator). Recently Foharrister's father past, leaving his only remaining relatives in his immediate family being his son, Derrick Foharrister, his three sisters, and grandmother. In the past, Foharrister has held the political positions of Secretary of Economics, multiple governor positions, and a term in the IDF.

Brown hair, with a thin beard. Has brown eyes. Is white, but has a light middle-eastern tan. Dressed very formal almost all the time. Speaks with a light accent. (I would include pictures, but I do not have a website to hold it on).

Zionist who believes direct democracy should be used for most higher-up government positions to be obtained. Believes money's value should be based off of its materials, or its exchange (for a random example, $1 could be worth 10-ounces of water)

The World Self-Government Liberty Composition

Political Party Leader, Senator, Viceroy.

The W.S.G.L.C.

The World Self-Government Liberty Composition

Emanuel Natan Foharrister

In the late 1980s, Emanuel Natan Foharrister, disappointed by the lack of a persons direct choice in government, formed a society known as the Global Democratic Composition. During the first convention, a small 238 delegates came to discuss how to give the people a larger base in government. By 2000, over 1,567 executive members of the society came to each convention, not including the large number of regular members and guests. In 2002, however, due to conflicting ideological beliefs between the Executive Member Officials, the society fell. Three years later, the society was revived by Emanuel's great grandson, Jackson Foharrister, only instead of being a movement-like society, it became a political party with a large structure of members known as the World Self-Government Liberty Composition. In Columbia, the party made its impact as many of the country's citizens were convinced by the party's speeches, that a limited direct democracy would better favor the people. In 2015, Jackson became a Senator and Viceroy, as well as the head of the party, and began to work to change Columbia with the W.S.G.L.C.

I would have a professional image, but as stated above, I cannot find a website to host the image, so I will describe it as best as I can: An open hand (connected to it's arm) is risen in the air, vesting a pair of wings (one on each side). One of the following words is written vertically on each finger on the hand, in the order from left to right: World; Self; Government; Liberty; Composition.

The party is strongly associated with a direct democracy, in which many laws would be made by referendum (the citizens voting must have certain qualifications, and have registered), executive positions, such as president, would be made directly based off of the Popular Vote. The party also believes in freedom of speech and the press, although have the restrictions of slander, libel, physical harmfulness, and extreme rumoring (when media makes extremely outlandish assumptions which can obviously harm a person). Some of these limits do not apply completely to the press and freedom of speech regarding the government.

Right wing, mainly in the circumstances that it believes in small bureaucratic based government, but believes in a government with a large free and people base.

Sorry, your character can't be a senator, as we've already deliberated how many seats each party has at the beginning of the RP. You can, however, run for senator during the next elections. Also, I don't believe the nation of Columbia has the position of viceroy. Other than that, the app is fine.

Then get the police and Socialists on you.

In other words, don't do it.

Yes, because that will turn out really well for your party...

[Terrelis]

I meant as far as government goes, but technically we don't have any crime laws so it wouldn't be illegal.

Sorry, I missed the IC going up, will have a post up soon.

Anyone think a Vice Presidential visit to Cairo will be a good idea? We could help ensure Egypt stays clear of us while reminding all of the worlds citizens that we even exist by getting some TV time.

I think Senator King should probably get working on the "Seriously guys, stop murdering everyone" Act.

If my cabinet act passes there won't be a Vice President. I've always felt the position to be unnecessary IRL, they're job is literally to wait for the president to die or leave office.

Although none of the members would openly say it they were ready to launch a coup at any moment they wanted, they had both the manpower and the arms it all depends upon whether or not the military sides with them.

Even VPs must be wary of job security.

Well, regardless my post is almost finished, real quick, does you character own a company? I seem to be getting that idea and if so then Mei would be interested in some business talks.

Well technically both of my character own the company but one of them is the coo, no one knows that the senator owns 25% of the company. What is industry is Mei Industries in?

Honestly I have not really thought about it but starting out I believe it would be a low to mid level manufacturing industry. Making hardware from coffee machines to ipods and other consumer products. Leaving plenty of room to expand in the future.

So which character would Mei be contacting?
