Western Sylvania and Oceana autonomy
To get things straight concerning which parties support and which do not, and also what places should be in Western Sylvania (f.e. should TV and Clave Rock be included?), I'm gonna make a table. I hope all the big parties and also the smaller/independents will answer. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:03, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Could someone explain these independence movements to me? i honestly am not familiar with what they are or where they come from. :/ Daembrales (talk) 00:33, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I added mine (I think that is what you were asking). I don't seem as revolutionary, I know, but we don't need to divide Lovia any more than it is currently. — Christopher Costello (Pikapi • Chat  • What's up ) 01:40, December 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would like to let you know, the Stephen Headland Union is also contra on a Western Sylvanian State, the org is just helping the commmunity, not making areas independent.  Happy65   Talk CNP LogoCNP.png 08:10, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Our policy concerning districts
Okay, what is our policy concerning pages about the newly created districts? I thought we decided that pages on the districts are okay, but no pages about any individual three-barn settlements within those districts. Is that right? --O u WTBsjrief-mich 11:18, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * No reaction is also a reaction :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:34, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * and this is a reaction too (even though I'm giving no answer).  Happy65   Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 10:04, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * True :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:11, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep. What you just replied is also a reaction.  Happy65   Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 10:16, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, the "no reaction is also a reaction" was already a reaction to the fact nobody had reacted :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:17, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Haha (this is a reaction).  Happy65   Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 10:21, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is my reaction to all of your reactions. Any reactions to my reaction? 4kant,6FRÅGOR??? 11:32, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep, this is my reaction.  Happy65   Talk CNP LogoCNP.png 11:38, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Dear me, having a fun day guys? :L Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 12:52, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * My reaction: Kunarian's reaction was the best reaction. It was the only reaction that caused me to react with laughter. --Semyon 13:21, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hahah, anyway, could we - please - get back to the topic. I need a contents-having on-topic reaction :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:39, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Oh dear. :P Anyway, I agree with everything you said in the first sentence, so I have nothing to say. --Semyon 09:47, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

 * We should ban banning anything. 4kant,6FRÅGOR??? 06:31, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yep. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 16:55, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wonder which wikination has the most colorful history; it certainly isn't Lovia, though. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 16:59, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Brunant probably has the best history. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 17:07, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wars, coups, revolts, assassinations, its got it all. But in the past fifty years I would say Libertas has had all the action (2 civil wars, I think). And in the past 3 or 4 Lovia has seen its fair share of action (probably more going on in this period than the rest of Lovian history combined). HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:14, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 17:21, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mäöres is indefeatable. We even have genocide and colonies :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 18:29, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * A nation with a population of 65'000 having had genocide and colonies? :P 77topaz (talk) 11:10, December 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then it's unrealistic if it has colonies and only 50,000 population. Very unrealistic <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 11:10, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * On a small scale: when the first Limburgish people came to Mäöres, they slaughtered the indigenous population (=genocide), and sometime after that, they occupied neighboring islands, such as Little Scotland (bought from England) and Aedslandj (conquered). And Mäöres used to have more inhabitants, but most of them left the country because of political instability and poverty. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 11:34, December 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * If it still has those colonies, and hasn't lost them, then it is still unrealistic. When britain lots it's population, look how many colonies it lost. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 07:38, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually not. The British colonies were larger than Britain itself. The colonies of Mäöres were way smaller: Little Scotland only having 600 inhabitants, of which about 40% is Limburgish, Aedslandj having about 15,000 inh., of which about 30% is Limburgish, and Fuujlandj having about 5,000 inh., of which 70% is Limburgish. Smaller colonies are easier to keep. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:40, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * So between Brunant and Mäöres, they have probably 80% of all wikinational conflict. And colonies!?! That's a little passe, don't you think? In Brunant, the only similar thing we have is Mermaid Island. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 15:58, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, colony is perhaps a big word, but it functions exactly they same. The areas were controlled by "mainland" Mäöres. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:24, December 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Under the control of Emperor Ilava? <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP  LogoCNP.png 09:05, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * No :P Rónd Beie and Rógk Zeel are more responsible for that :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:32, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Agreement League
As stated in the Speakers Corner by me, we need agreement, and I thought that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to create an agreement league or whatever word for group you want to use. The idea is that anyone could join, and lobby for government agreement instead of arguing. You can check out the speakers corner for more, but if anyone is up for it I think it could be started. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 02:43, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Possible Logo?

A coalition, you mean? 77topaz (talk) 03:22, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

That's the idea. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 03:27, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Well, we usually don't have many problems agreeing besides just plain inactivity, but it's nice to get it a shot. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 03:38, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yep. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP   07:40, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Well it would be nice to have this. We need to get Lovian politicians to learn how to truly compromise and this is a great think to get things going. @TM- Back when all the old users were around, Lovia used to work in a European style political system with good compromise. Now they've left and it seens like we're shifting towards an American-style system in some cases. HORTON11 : •  13:53, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't agree with that, as Oos and Bucu protested and voted against many laws that were pushed through by the communist-moderate leftist (Walden + a few others) dominated Congress. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:32, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Although, simply passing a bill isn't compromise. That would be giving up, which isn't good in politics. You need some pieces from both sides or a new approach that both sides like. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 02:38, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Please, no idolization of old users. They were good, yes, but no better than the ones we have now - and to say they used to work 'with good compromise' is a blatant lie, sorry. I can't think of any events since 2011 that compare to the so-called Case Villanova, 'fraud' in the 2010 state elections or the infamous Donia Crisis. --Semyon 14:17, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

You're really picking on me lately, Semyon :'( Have to agree with you though, but that's just our political system. Turns out the Mäöreser system is the fairest and least democratic one :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:26, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I assure you, it's always either unintentional or a joke. ;) --Semyon 15:00, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still, you've broken my heart :'( --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:16, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

I'm just saying they had a more "European outlook" on politics and their only major political clashes were with the extremists like IGP and Doorian. I've never been one to idolize the old, but its time to forge a new identity and people should thing of you, me and others like Kunarian when speaking of "great Lovian cooperation" HORTON11 : •  14:43, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still don't quite agree with you there. :P I apologize for saying it was a 'blatant lie,' though, that was unnecessary. Sorry. --Semyon 15:00, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

The only ideological difference is that - from an American perspective - we used to have a 100% socialist Congress that never passed any social bills :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:52, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Haha. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP   18:28, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

(LATE) well as i saw it (hoepfully i'm considered an oldie by now it's been like 3 yrs on this site) leftism ran rampant on the site with bills getting 80% support but basically it was because leftist parties stuck together and were able to pass legislation through coalitions or agreements. /cough/ we need a leftist coalition /cough/ Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:31, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Polynesian Empire Wiki!
To all the rightist conservatives out there. I've made a new wiki that will be rightist conservative. rightist.wikia.com It's the Polynesian Empire, and if you'd like to check it out, go ahead. Nathan of Fleffenstool and I will be making a Constitution momentarilly, but it may take a few weeks to get started. We're planning on having interraction b/w Lovia and Polynesia too. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 20:13, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

So only rightist conservatives are allowed to edit there? :-( —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:14, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

You do realise Polynesia refers to an existing island area (composed of multiple nations and territories)? 77topaz (talk) 21:25, December 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * You know, I should join and make a Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary League over there (perhaps even a Maoist faction too :) HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 22:01, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * IRL i'm a progressive-socialist, here a labour-center-leftest. BUt since were creating stuff and experimentating in political ideologies, Horton, I may take you up on that ;D a Communist revolutionary party. We're just experimenting in the ideas and stuff :D Marcus/Michael Villanova

Anyone can edit, but there will be laws put in place from the start that will make it rightist and conservative. It will be a Democratic Meritocratc Republic. Nathan and I are busy for the next few days, but the Constitution will be made soon enough. The are will be fictitious just like Lovia. It will have three major islands. One to the right of New Zealand, one to the right of the rest of the Polynesian Islands, and one above the Polynesian Islands. It should encompass most climates, and attract many tourists. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 02:41, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to help this if it remains neutral from the begining. There was once a wikia around this idea (literally same thing center-right, island nation) and it failed. Can you consider making it nuetral? Marcus/Michael Villanova 02:45, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds interesting. I might give it a try one day. Vivaporius says: "I don't need a slogan!" 03:20, December 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * The site is called "rightist" for goodness sake, Marcus. Something tells me that is a point that he won't be willing to compromise on. :L — <font color=#2E6FFD>Christopher Costello (<font color=#2E6FFD>Pikapi • <font color=#2E6FFD>Chat  • <font color=#2E6FFD>What's up ) 03:23, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * But that makes a wikia horrible. In havinge xperience in this, and knowing wikias. The founders of this wikia (although progressive) never enacted progressive reforms in the wikias founding but let the users to make the wikia w.e. they wanted it to be. not just what the founders want it to be. Marcus/Michael Villanova 03:41, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Political Role playing wiki
User:Crystalbeastdeck09/Roleplaywiki --- check it out. This idea of a small (self-ruling) medieval city state. It of course bends the possibility of what is possible but is advances on roleplaying and politics. Bennett seems to be on board, anyone else? Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:02, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

I will be the evil bastard. This has a wonderful Game of Thrones feeling to it. Digging it! Jean-Marie V (talk) 20:04, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

New blog project
Hi there all! Yes, I'm back, but to meddle in Lovian politics, but rather to announce my newest blog project. After Monticello to Walden (which went in hibernation in March 2012), I set up The Dimitri Post. Unlike what the name suggests, this blog is not in English.

The Dimitri Post is a Dutch-language news blog in which I make a humble attempt at bringing American news to Belgium and the Netherlands in a fair and balanced way (and I don't mean to play on Fox News' tagline here). For the time being, there's a lot of short news stories, but in due time, I will definitely offer more exhaustive news coverage of major events.

I hope to welcome you all over there from time to time, or at least those of you who know Dutch :D. DimiTalen 15:54, December 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, it's great to see you back on the wiki. I guess I never saw you or Regialourm since you both became inactive. I am english, but can speak some dutch so I will read it.

Ahem! You do not have royal blood and therefore cannot become the king, nobody without royal blood can. And Taco Tuesdays? You are going to bring the whole population of Lovia into a big hall eating millions of tacos. The best mexican restraunt in the world could not do that! <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP   18:38, December 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blood is not everything child, blood did not appoint his first majesty to the throne, they gained it. This is my Five Step Taco Plan, (FSTP)


 * Introduce Lovian kids to healthy tacos on the weekday of tuesday, replacing any food of that day.
 * Every tuesday, taco reasturants will gain a government tax break, thus when you buy the tacos, you get no taxos.
 * Creation of a taco shop in the capital building and royal palace. People will follower their King (me *cough* *cough*) and his loyal politicans to praticipate in this national ritual.
 * Increase economic ties with Mexico, they are close and plentiful with tacos. Also, they have oil.
 * Presentation of the 'unfoldedtaco' a national mascot to parade down our streets every Thanksgiving and Christmas to trow tacos to the crowds.


 * But, back to the blood part, I really do love French fries, so if french fries are Belgian, and you are what you eat, thus that makes me Belgian. Check Mate. Charles Alexander Bennett (talk) 19:09, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Being Belgian does not give your Royal blood. But if we are to apply that logic, we can just as easily select Gert Henneman. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 19:16, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine, if we are going to play dirty. I say we have a sing off for the crown. Whom ever sings the Belgian national anthem the best, wins. Agreeable? Charles Alexander Bennett (talk) 19:24, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Joining a Party
Being new here, I am confused as to which party I should join. I'm a populist, so I support people's rights, and I'm somewhat of a libertarian. I don't have much of a religious position, being agnostic. --X572083x (talk) 20:15, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to say, the CNP is full but I hope that if you become a citizen we can have your support. I'll let you know that the CNP were born out of populism, we have a huge support for personal freedoms and have a very libertarian approach to government.

GoYou and the remnants of Jeff
For those of you who were online last night (New York time, I'm too lazy to convert), you may have noticed that I made some rather big changes to some of Jeff's old articles, such as GoYou and his characters. Now Jeff was banned from all Wikia's by Wikia itself a while back, so I don't expect to see him again, however, his articles covered some pretty major stuff regarding the Lovian market. Last night, I happened across some of his articles, and seeing as how I was Jeff's biffle, I took it upon myself to look over his articles to improve the story and the wording behind them a little bit. If you compare these articles, chances are that you will like the newer, more wikified layout a little more. Unfortunately, and the reason that I bothered bringing this up is that I made a stupid mistake, having overlooked that Artie McCand was supposed to be the creator of GoYou, not Bill An (which is what I changed it too), and now I feel guilty and want to restore most of it to its previous state, whilst retaining all of the positive changes that I made. I will be looking into fixing this myself over the next couple of days, but if anyone would be willing to lend me a hand or share their opinion on the change, I feel that it would be highly constructive.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! - a word from Lukas Hoffmann
Although it's not new year in Lovia for many the time has gone by and we're entering 2013 with a whole new load of hope, ideas and aspirations. Looking back on 2012 we had to recover from the civil war which left us with many of the veterans of Lovia leaving and did we? YES! we had to rebuild a community which was left shaken after losses in 2011 and did we? HELL YES! we had to keep Lovia running and keep it interesting and did we? YES AGAIN!

This year has been full of successes despite not quite making the political progress we hoped. But in this new year I believe that with the strength that this community has and the new co-operative attitude many of us are bringing to the table that we can do more in 2013. So for now enjoy your drink, enjoy your fireworks and enjoy being with your family!

HERE'S TO A NEW YEAR WITH A NEW DIRECTION!

TO LOVIA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

Vote smart
This, election, it is time to vote smart. Not for the gimmicky campaign, not for the fancy metaphor but for the man who delivers on what he sets out to do. This year, Justin Abrahams has: Now when you go out to vote, be sure to vote for results and not promises. And lastly, get out and vote. HORTON11 : •  17:30, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Expanded a good and solid education system in Clymene
 * Improved health care for the whole state
 * Begun transportation reform in Lovia

Justin Abrahams has: Vote for CNP to reign him in so he can do good but not bankrupt Lovia. Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 17:39, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cost Congress more money than all other congressmembers this year combined. (probably)
 * Vote him for the boom and bust

One mo I should probably explain myself a bit more not just throw mud. I think that you can do great things for Lovia, I just think that without a reign on what you're doing you'll cost Lovia more than you will benefit it. You need a balance. Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 17:40, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Now wait a minute there, Mr. Hoffmann. I would like to spend, but there are always limits to things. We can't spend reckelssly or else we'll be down the dumps like the Greeks, and we can't tax 70% like Sweden or else everyone will be broke. Once we have taxes and a budget we will be able to determine how much we can spend without breaking the bank. HORTON11 : •  17:51, January 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * We should probably also consider the recent costs of our actions. The ones in Clymene I think far exceed the rate at which you should have been spending, so we'll see. But I have a hunch that I'll be proved right. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 17:56, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Chat Moderators
I've noticed the chat moderators on here. I am confused as to how they are picked, as some users, such as Timemaster, have been active for much longer and have more edits than some of the chat moderators. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 22:45, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

It's about the experience on Wikia's Chat, not about experience on the wikis. All the users selected as chat moderator's are extremely experienced on other chat rooms and have been appointed by Prime Minister Oos Wes Ilava as they have gained his trust. <font color="Teal"> Happy65  <font color="Aqua"> Talk CNP   09:32, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well, a chat mod status is not as important as admin rights. Cause they can be reverted easily. If TM wants chat mod status, he can ask and he'll get them. I'm not gonna make a problem of it :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:15, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I request you remove my chat mod status, though I fear it's not possible, since I don't really know what I'm doing. :P I think I already kicked Horton without meaning to. @everyone: being mod/admin doesn't mean you're more 'special' than any other user. :) Otherwise, I might have had a few more seats last congress. :P This year admittedly I hope to do slightly better, but that's because of my relentless propaganda. --Semyon 16:12, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Two spare characters?
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone would like two spare characters for the 2013 NCO. They are John Bass and Simon Beck, and have centre to centre-right viewpoints. Both are former leaders of the NLP which was a classical liberal party, so PL or CNP are likely homes for them nowadays. GP and SLP are less likely but still plausible. If you accept this once-in-a-lifetime offer, your party will receive the prestige of having pre-2008 MOTCs as members. :P --Semyon 21:54, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to claim both for the CNP if you don't mind, I get the feeling social centrists and economic conservatives with a focus on the north would be great for my party of confederates and classical liberals. They'd be great additions for the expansion of our northern vote. :) Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 22:30, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

That's great Kunarian. I forgot Keith Moore, btw, tho' perhaps it's reasonable that one would have retired. --Semyon 22:38, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well I thought that the NLP founder John Bass might have retired but if it's possible I'd like them all unless you feel that's unreasonable. I'd like John Bass to be a useful proponent of free market and a national representative, Simon Beck to be a leader of our educational program and Keith Moore to be a assistant campaigner of Daves for the northern vote particularly in Clymene. :) Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 22:55, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Seems ok to me. :) Though the NLP's 'official successor' today is the SLP, as NLP --> Liberal Union --> LDP --> SLP, so some explanation as to why all the major NLP members are now in CNP instead might be necessary. --Semyon 10:06, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

I suppose after each merger a small group dissatisfied with the new party would have left and become independent or simply retired from politics. When a party such as CNP was formed that was more in line with their views, they would have joined it. I'm sure you can find some way of getting these three into the CNP in a way that fits with the party's history (whatever it might be. :P) --Semyon 10:12, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

My opinion on this issue is that LDP also contained CNP or PL style members until those parties formed to fit the growing number of Lovians who adhere to those views. Once the rightists in LDP left (according to your reasons), it changed its name to SLP to fit the views of the remaining leftists and centrists. :) —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:51, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Other parties are doing roughly as expected, except for the Greens, who will gain many seats, but only IC. OOC they are doing as expected. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:56, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

 * I think it's more 70% ideology 30% want of difference/new wave of users. I think it's reflected in which John Lewis (Wabba) left our party and with it some congressmen and votes which are vital to the party, just in the numbers game. But i think now there's a shift right, which counter-balanced the LONG run of leftism. Marcus/Michael Villanova 21:34, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

 * Moderate Centrist Party - 2 seats
 * Five Main political parties have emerged: Green, CNP, SLP, Labour, and the CCPL. Now do to an (unofficial) agreement between the SLP, Green and CNP they could have up to an impressive 41 seats in congress if they stick together. But Labour wants a broad coalition of SLP and CCPL but seems one sided with only Labour wanting it. Positive Lovia is mostly gone from it's heyday of feilding tons of candidates and getting good feedback but is down to 7 seats. Smaller, and independent candidates are also doing good with the LMP, MCP, and independents together grabing 18 seats. Marcus/Michael Villanova 21:57, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

The drinking age in Saudi Arabia is infinite: No one can drink alcohol. Therefore 24 is not the highest in the world. Besides, I think there are one or two other Muslim countries that also have 24. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:55, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

I know this fact already but when you compare anything inluding a "christian party" to an undemocratic islamic nation, then change the policy. Marcus/Michael Villanova 21:27, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Drinking in general is hazardous. I see it like a soft drug to some extent. People have to be mature enough to be able to drink responsibly. For "soft" fire arms (paintball, airsoft, BB, and pellet guns) I don't really see why people shouldn't be able to buy them. Maybe for BB and pellet guns it would be reasonable to raise the age, but airsoft and paintball guns aren't too strong usually. We could simply limit the FPS on airsoft and paintball to 650. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 23:57, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Elections update
Most candidates have reached the seat threshold (way to go!) which is recieving three votes.
 * nicholas sheraldin - 7 votes - 4 seats
 * Seymon Breyev - 8 votes-5 seats
 * Charles Bennett - 9 votes-5 seats
 * Lukas Hoffmann - 12 votes-7 seats
 * William Krosby - 14 votes-8 seats
 * Justin Abrahams - 14 votes-8 seats
 * Dave Leskromento - 15 votes-9 seats
 * Rakham Tarik Al-Asmari - 7 votes-4 seats
 * Taiyo no eisei - 5 votes-3 seats
 * Christopher Costello - 8 votes-5 seats
 * George Underhill - 5 votes-3 seats
 * Lucy Austira - 3 votes-2 seats
 * James Torres - 3 votes-2 seats
 * Marcus Villanova - 11 votes-7 seats
 * Martign Mans - 4 votes-2 seats
 * Oos Wes Illava - 23 votes-14 seats
 * Mathew McComb - 3 votes-2 seats
 * Justin Avant - 5 votes-3 seats
 * John Lewis - 7 votes-4 seats
 * Bart Koenen - 6 votes-4 seats
 * Total votes - 169
 * Again there is a overhang seat do the great ammount of congressmen running and ammount of votes
 * CNP - 16 seats
 * SLP -  12 seats
 * PL - 7 seats
 * CCPL - 18 seats
 * GP - 11 seats
 * LP - 15 seats
 * CDP - 6 seats
 * LMP - 2 seats
 * MCP - 4 seats
 * Inds. - 10 seats
 * By "right - left -crnter"
 * Right (CNP, PL, CDP, LMP) - 31 seats
 * Center (Inds, CCPL, MCP) - 32 seats
 * Left (LP, GP, SLP) - 38 seats Marcus/Michael Villanova 14:51, January 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * These are slightly wrong again, You should have 6 seats not 7, you've done 101 seats, you don't need to do the overhang as the MCP get the seat before you, leaving no seats to be assigned. It should be:


 * CNP - 16 seats
 * SLP -  12 seats
 * PL - 7 seats
 * CCPL - 18 seats
 * GP - 11 seats
 * LP - 14 seats
 * CDP - 6 seats
 * LMP - 2 seats
 * MCP - 4 seats
 * Ind. - 10 seats

so if you also want to do it by your left right center:


 * Left (LP, GP, SLP) - 37 seats
 * Center (Inds, CCPL, MCP) - 32 seats
 * Right (CNP, PL, CDP, LMP) - 31 seats

or by possible coalitions:


 * Libertarian (GP, SLP, CNP, PL) - 46 seats
 * CCPL-CNP (CCPL, CNP) - 34 seats
 * Christian Coalition (CCPL, CDP, LMP) - 26 seats

Election Result Map
The results for the elections by district, as you would expect previous voting records affect this map along with who the Governors/Deputies are (support base).

In Clymene, Labour holds strong, only challenged by the Greens, other parties fail to break through in support. In Seven, CCPL and the CNP take pluralities in Philosophers Island and American Island respectively however the Independent vote is strong and widespread. In Kings SLP maintains its support base, and due to Labours dip the Greens and SLP take more pluralities in the west, CCPL holds only the traditionally conservative district of Hawkes Wood. Sylvania has a very mixed vote but the CNP, GP and Labour manage to pull pluralities and the Independent Charles Bennett manages to gain strong support from west Sylvania as well as across other parts of the State. In Oceana, overwhelming support for Oos Wes Ilava gives him a plurality everywhere except East Hills where they come close.

This is just to give us a consistent map to drawn historical voting from. And I think it adds a nice visual to the elections page, if none can raise concerns that cannot be addressed then I shall add it. Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 01:42, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

This is a great looking map, it shows the realistic results from voting precincts.. -Sunkist- (talk) 02:09, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

I have no big problems with this, Labour (as a left, center-left party would) take urban areas like TV, East Hills, Beaverwick, and Clymene staying Left/center-left is nice. A relief (by ammount of support) would be nice, but still good. Marcus/Michael Villanova 02:11, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I can do a relief but that may take some time. I was thinking about doing a results table however. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 02:20, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

I think there's not enough Labour and CCPL in Kings, too much CCPL in Oceana, not enough Labour in Sylvania, not enough CCPL in Sylvania and Clymene, and not enough CNP in Oceana, Kings and Clymene. PL seems to be missing, in addition. Good start, but just too regional, I think. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 02:33, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Time this isn't proportional representation, there isn't a need for everything to be mismatched colour. There's enough Labour and CCPL in Kings, believe me, I've run the numbers as well as considered voting record. And CCPL in Sylvania? CCPL has never won a district also in Clymene, CCPL have not been doing anything and the last time they won an area in Clymene was 2011, it's gone more to the left. CNP also aren't going to be able to make pluralities in Oceana due to our policies being kind of undercut there by CCPL coupled with their more religious take, we're not winning anything also in Kings, we do well but we're spread out thinly, no plurality level support same for Clymene. PL has 10,725 votes, spread out, PL cannot make a plurality at all, it has built up no support bases. Also I understand that you feel it's too regional but that's how voting looks when you go with pluralities. It's not supposed to act as a proportional representation of the elections, just to show which parties came out on top where. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 02:49, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

The area of American Island that encompasses Kinley should be yellow probably. 10 votes for CDP (all CDP votes) were from Kinley. I think that 10 votes is the majority... --Quarantine Zone (talk) 02:47, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * We can't do it like that. We need to A) be realistic and B) consider where parties have been active and C) the historical leanings of districts. If we did it by user votes, the CNP would have a majority in Clymene, Kings would be almost completely GP and Seven would have no votes for independents.

IN defense of the map

 * Clymene: Clymene is a buddist-asian and green state with a long history of progressivism and voting to the left of the nation. This should be a HUGE Labour safe state, but in a year where the party has done bad and slipping in the polls the state's progressive base tried another option the Green Party, showing why they obtained the Deputy position back in the fall.
 * Seven: A more conservative, nationalistic state with heavy christian voters, but the smallest state population wise. Seymon's support for the people there and a center-right moderate, platform would allow him to capture a large portion of the voter base. Also more major parties like the CNP and CCPL would excell here due to the conservative and nationalistic platforms.
 * ALTHOUGH the CDP is a much more conservative party, maybe too conservative for there likes, they finsihed near the bottom of the parties and no ammount of support would give them a district
 * Kings: In the Urban areas of the state there should be a tick more Labour support, but since it's an off election year more them give it to the SLP. Krosby's love for the state has erased a long history of CPL.nm/Yuri support and since it's not by percentage it looks good. The Greens were able to win some southern progressive voters while the CCPL was able to capitalize on the rural base in southern Kings. (SO FAR GREAT)
 * Sylvania: Some minor problems here, again a off year for Labour but not entirley. Maybe give Labour Charleston or the outside of NC. Like Beaverwick, Labour has good connections in Charleston. otherwise very good.
 * Oceana: Do you know Lovian politics? Do you know which of our users dedicated his time to build up the state, culture and language? OOS!!! Governor and public figure for so long hes bound to win ALOT of the support here. @Kunarian - Labour no longer runs candidates in Oceana, so the east hills district would be won by NPO there Oceana affiliate. Marcus/Michael Villanova 03:06, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Marcus, times like these, I love you. Also about east hills, remember it's a federal election, so they'd probably vote labour more than NPO, NPO is Labours State Election buddy there. Hoffmann Kunarian TALK 03:09, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

lol, gotcha. Either way. Leave it. Marcus/Michael Villanova 03:13, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Clymene: That was never agreed upon and the state article hardly even mentions it anyway. In addition, asian and buddhist doesn't mean progressive. There are plenty of rural areas and there should be a bigger conservative presence in Clymene.
 * Seven: In character, Semyon only won one seat - he didn't have his own list of independents or Semyon supporters. In addition, there should be a bigger left-wing presence in Seven. After all, Johnson (CPL.nm) won the governorship there in 2010.
 * Kings: Exactly. There should be more Labour support in the dense cities where their core support comes from: lower-income workers. In addition, the most rural areas (Eastern Kings, etc.) would probably vote more CCPL. I think that GP is a bit progressive for the tastes of the rural people there, same in other states.
 * Sylvania: I'd say give Labour Charleston and the outside of NC (Transcity, other industrial areas away from core), yes. Same independent problem with Semyon - in character, Bennett only won one seat. Otherwise looks good, though more CCPL is needed, possibly in the mountains.
 * Oceana: Oceana is not 100% Oos. Oos lost to McCandless in 2010 and his margin wasn't so big in 2011 - I think in the denser cities that they could go Labour (NPO) or for another party, such as PNO or its national equivalent MCP.

 * You would have a higher percentage of the vote in the Rural Headlands. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 03:40, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Clymene: So an asian-buddist-mostly non reiligious state with the last few governors being Labour/Progressive isn't gonna vote progressive?
 * Seven: Seymon also won some more rural areas though so in reality its fair. CPL.nm DIED, so hard. Which shows the loss of support in Kings as well, but in addition cultural and reiligion would prove Conservatives would win there.
 * Kings: It's good, maybe some Labour support in Portland or Newhaven, one or the other (were talking about the election results)
 * Sylvania: Nah, It's fine. We had a off election but we would have won Charleston and TV dats it. @Sun - No, the rural western sylvania is your base, a city with strong relation to a labour party member with urbanied areas is labour.
 * Oceana: It's fine. Marcus/Michael Villanova 03:26, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Even though this doesn't affect the map, as CDP is now blue, both CDP members are from Kinley, and all of CDP's votes are from Kinley, and Taiyō Alternate Energy has a facility in Kinley. Not to mention that CDP would receive some votes from elsewhere in the region as I am the Deputy Governor...and Seven is mostly conservative, nationalist, moderate-right, and Christian. CDP fits all of these except the moderate-right, were farther right than that. And wouldn't it be independent if it wasn't CDP because of Semyon? --Quarantine Zone (talk) 03:29, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * But your party won 6 seats, even in a year with massive ammounts of parties and cadidates it still doesn't show an ammount of support in one area. Maybe one rural area for it... Marcus/Michael Villanova 03:31, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Who are you to tell me what my base is? I built that city, I fought for it durning the civil war. Why won't they vote for me? Becuase I don't have a little L beside my name on the ballot? -Sunkist- (talk) 03:36, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think Bennetts social policies being what they are plus his western Sylvania focus could have won him a plurality in Charleston. Besides, the way Lovian elections work is that people get voted for and then the people get allocated seats and they dish them out. That's how it's written and it's a good system I think actually and a good way to have proportional representation without it being overly complex or being party dominated. Bennett would could have gotten votes from people from anywhere just because they are farmers somewhere that agree with his views (highly likely). Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 03:40, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

It's six seats from one city within one city though...like I said though, CDP is blue anyway, so it doesn't affect the map. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 03:44, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * But it's not six seats from one city. It's six seats from across the nation... Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 03:47, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

@Sunkist, think of you as your own individual party, if your party received the most support from the district then it would be that color; however, your support was spread over multiple districts and you received five votes (that's less than my party even...) and Labour's largest supporters are from Clymene, so their mostly going to vote Labour. Your argument is weaker than mine is, and mine is only half-decent. @Kunarian, what I meant is that within the region in American Island that has Kinley, I think that CDP had the most support of any party. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 03:44, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * His argument is hardly weaker than yours, it's stronger in fact, he has a direct focus on Western Sylvania, Western Sylvania has a population of around three and a half thousand and he has 8,775 votes for him, he's going to win. Your party never said it focused on Seven, American Island has a population of around 13 thousand and you have 9,750 votes for you, you have votes from across the nation and even if the bulk of your support in seven falls in american island, you face the fact that so does the CNP support in seven. I'm not swindling you out of a place, believe me and believe me when I say that if you do focus on Seven, then next year, you'll see CDP getting those districts. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 04:02, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Where else am I going to get my votes from? Most of my voters are from West Sylvania...if not from the countryside, and I didn't even win any of the country side in any other states. -Sunkist- (talk) 03:57, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * How is support determined? How does one determine where they got votes from? --Quarantine Zone (talk) 18:19, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's most likely a gaggle of things from the political science specturm. In areas with strong lutheran areas which typically vote conservative they'd go for CCPL or CNP or something. In general reiligion, politics, politicans, sucesses there, history, party support. A large combination of these things also including the culture and views of the people. Marcus/Michael Villanova 18:24, January 23, 2013 (UTC) (Look below)
 * You could write an equation for that. It wouldn't take too much work to figure one out. You would simply have to have variables for religion, political ideas, and past support. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 18:29, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Bismarck model healthcare
For those of you who don't know what Bismarck is, it is what is used by Germany and Switzerland (hence Chancellor Bismarck of Germany). Bismarck model is where healthcare is paid through taxes, similar to Beveridge model, but in the Bismarck model, hospitals are still private, and people only receive healthcare when it is needed, so sicknesses, injuries, and conditions are covered. People are still able to buy there own healthcare through non-profit healthcare insurance companies in order to cover extra benefits and other care. I was thinking that with elections over we could try to pass a Bismarck model health system as federal law. --Quarantine Zone (talk) 03:42, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

 * Labour receives support in Clymene, Urban Sylvania, Urban Kings and East Hills region.
 * CCPL receives support in Hurbanova area, Mountains of Sylvania, East Rural Kings, Seven
 * CNP receives support in Sylvania, Seven
 * SLP receives support in Kings, south Oceana (maybe)

True. LP in Asian Island. CCPL receives strong urban support in Hurbanova (stronger in uptown Hurb). SLP in Newhaven and some in Portland. CNP in Noble City and in Seven. GP in Truth Island. And PL weak support in NC. Marcus/Michael Villanova 18:31, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'm referring to how Time wants the voting system to be different to the system we have, we have the system of candidates go up, people vote, candidates get seats assigned. His system is not this system. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 22:15, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I was talk to time not you xD Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:19, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry :L But seriously we probably work by a proportional representation closed or open list system (preferably closed). This would allow for an independent candidate to win an area and be awarded 5 seats without having to invent other ways people voted and inventing candidates.

Well, it's not the district system that I dislike, it's the way it's applied. Also, if we do closed list, I fear that everyone will make their own lists so that they can have a better chance of getting into Congress. Open allows you to vote for people on the list, not the parties that are the lists, so I would prefer that. Though, closed has the advantage of not deciding the make up after elections. Also, what system is "mine"? I made a new system of voting with five equal votes instead of three ranked votes, but I don't think that's what you're referring to. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:46, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * The way that you think the elections should run IC (I'm not referring to the five votes system idea you have, that's a fantastic idea). Besides if you agree we run by a list system (although we aren't required to present any list, this should change). And what do you mean when you talk about the district system. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 18:45, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just mean about which "strongholds" belong to each party with the district system. I think using a list system would be nice but there are too many loopholes with a closed-list system. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:49, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * There are no loopholes in a closed list system. People are presented with the people who will be put into government if they vote for that candidate, so they know who they are voting for. Please, tell me what loopholes you think there are. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 09:29, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't make the Emerald Region of Oceana a labour area. Even though the mines are located there, all the inhabitants are farmers. They would vote either Parti fo Nesavicelost 'Oshenna or CCPL. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:47, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

So farmers should probably vote CCPL? —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 12:03, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I think it'd depnd on their other views, they'd almost certainly vote for parties that are pro-business and/or low land tax though, such as CCPL, CNP, PL, CDP or an independent like Semyon or Bennett who promise to fight for pro-farmer bills in congress. The farmer vote would be split across the nation largely however in Oceana I feel it'd go to CCPL hugely. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 12:10, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Considering the fact that most farmers in Oceana are probably conservative Roman-Catholics, yes, they'd vote CCPL. Though, in other regions I think most famers would vote CNP. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 12:26, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

More problems:
 * Not enough Labour in cities.
 * Too much SLP in Kings, not enough in other states.
 * Too much CCPL in Oceana, not enough in other states.
 * Independents should not win regions because IC they only won one seat.
 * Remember that gubernatorial elections are based of the results of three or four candidates, not hundreds. There will be many differences.

As I said before, the maps are simply too irrational and regionalized. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:22, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't quite agree. The maps are supposed to give the largest parties in the districts. The rural districts in Oceana would either have CCPL or PNO, nothing else... Agree with the independents though. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 21:29, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * I completely disagree about independents, the way that our electoral system works (a proportional list system where you are not required to show the list at any point) means that an independent can win a district and fill the seats they are given with members of other parties or independents. Time this is the problem when I said that you seem to operate by a different electoral system IC, independents can win districts under our system and very easily actually. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 22:32, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * We haven't actually decided that we have a proportional list system, and if we did, the "independent" lists would get more than one seat. I don't see how they can win districts easily at all. Also, I just don't see what the basis of these. I can see some of it. . . but why exactly is Labour so strong in Clymene? SLP in Kings? Because of the gubernatorial elections? We need to have a much bigger discussion and a more in depth investigation into where the votes would be concentrated. And I just don't like the current ones. They don't fit well on the election page and they don't have a key. You just seem to be cranking them out based on what you think makes sense (which I don't think makes sense) and adding them. Districts don't even have a relation to the ballot here. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:43, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's the only system we could possibly be described as using, as we field candidates who win a certain amount of seats that they then give to people.
 * The Independents are simply a candidate with a non-partisan list of people (members from differing parties or simply not from parties at all), so they can win seats and they do (Bennett and Semyon).
 * Labour is strong in Clymene because that area has had Labour based governors (Marcus or Abrahams) without change for a long time also on top of that it's largely agreed that Clymene is leftist leaning.
 * SLP is strong in Kings because that's the only place that it's won (as LDP) places other than Central Sylvania which has now become rather CNP leaning due to a reclining LDP/SLP vote since last year.
 * They fit perfectly on the election page and they don't need a key, go look on the UK 2010 election page, you don't need to have a key when more than two parties are present and especially when the results are going to be explained in the results section.
 * They make really good sense actually, the only person who really disagrees is you.
 * No districts don't have a relation but it's a nice way of showing who had a strong vote in certain places and I and many other users see no problem at all with it.
 * There. Points addressed. Now address my point:
 * Assuming we go with this display, where do you think the SLP should have strength in votes? and answer in terms of geographic areas or districts not vaguely in the sense of states. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 23:03, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Also, when I'm talking about the infobox size, it's not the width that's the problem, but the height. It stretches out the infobox farther than it already is (too long). —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:46, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Again go look at an election page on wikipedia and tell me those infoboxes are short, Time you're being petty with that point. Hoffmann LogoCNP.png Kunarian TALK 23:03, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
