They are the most Catholic pro-Pope party there is so if you are interested in keeping at least some sort of hold in my country you chose the right ones, unfortunate that such trust was squandered between our countries, oh well ... whenever this Pope dies, relations will probably improve. (That's a maybe)

Heh, not too surprising, but let's just say you wouldn't want the Liberal Party in power when war time comes, they are so pro-peace they would withdraw from combat and then grab popcorn & watch their friends get blown to pieces.

The next election I am gonna have to put down the Party Ideologies, but there's so many parties here, and the ideology itself sorta varies from Pres. Candidate to Pres. Candidate.

I voted NNP; they seem like the sort of party that Greater Sakha historically supported.

Not too bad a choice, RD.

They are moderate right, peaceful, and so on, but also very isolationist.

At this point in time, especially with the Diplomatic quarrels that the Republic has itself into, that would be a disaster.

OOC:

Well, Greater Sakha would probably have been more Native supremacist in the old days, but as of right now, a peaceful party that is still pro-Native would be a good choice for them. Greater Sakha had traditionally seen itself as one with all the Native people of Northern Asia and Northern Canada/Alaska.

I voted FJD awhile ago. I have no reason deeper than the fact that their name jumped out at me.

Any reason is a reason to vote, come the next votes (which will be a long while from now) I will give a description on each of the Political Parties so people can openly decide which one is more for them.

The NNP is actually a very good choice, the only bad thing about them is they are extremely Isolationist, in fact I intend the NNP to win the Presidency in the next Presidential Election.

It'll be awhile before the next election, for now the CRP will win. But this is their last term in office, so they cannot run for reelection next time.

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. It doesn't seem like you've got any real pro-freedom candidates up there... hmm...

I voted Economists, I just hope they don't turn out to be central planners....

Libertarianism isn't illegal in Eleytheria, but there are no "Official" Parties dedicated to Libertarianism, and the Economists are the closest you can get to Libertarianism with one massive difference, although they believe in vast freedoms, they are also for an extremely strong, aggressive Government based military.

Well... that's not a very economically sound platform...

And if one has to pay taxes or obey laws that regulate completely voluntary conduct between consenting adults, then practicing libertarianism is illegal.

First off this is a game, even if we do take it serious during RP's in order to squeeze the maximum entertainment out of it, second, Eleytheria is a much different, rather whimsical country in the sense that you actually decide whether or not to pay taxes, but there's some catches.

I was going to update my Nations description but I was too lazy so I'll just copy-paste what I was going to add in off my notepad, read below;

Taxes & Government

The Eleytherian government is unusual in the sense that paying taxes is not compulsory, citizens have the right to choose to either pay taxes or not, people may also donate to the government if they feel obliged to do so.

By law citizens who pay taxes and who do not pay taxes receive the same rights.

However, to decide not to pay Federal taxes is seen as a betrayal to the government and to the nations citizens by many common people, not necessarily the government itself, most non-taxpayers are frowned upon and seen as greedy, unwilling to pay for the services that are in turn paid for by the government itself which, from time to time, hands out large portions of money to it's own citizens under the poverty line.

People who do pay their taxes to the federal government mainly do so out of patriotism which has recently hit an all time high with the defeat of the socialist government on Baffin Island, this money is then spent on equipment and supplies to service sectors, and the military by the federal government itself, every once and a while when a large enough money is pooled, the federal system divides up this money and hands it to those under the poverty line which slightly raises living standards for them.

Hospitals, whom are privately operated, normally provide healthcare for free, however by decree of owners those who refuse to pay taxes must pay a percentage of what the treatment will cost, this percentage is then divided up further and donated to the government by the hospital owners themselves, the government has tried to eliminate this problem -- but it remains impossible to enforce without shutting down 80% of hospitals across the country, the loyalty of the people to a form of government, be it Federal or any other, is extremely strong and not likely to die out anytime in the near future.
