Why thank you, sir.

I'm gonna vote NO to keep this from being a lovefest.

The office of the ilikeverin would like it to be noted by the gentleman above that he lives in the Midwest and thus his request is impossible to fulfill.

Statements from the ilikeverin's office

Regarding the plight of the Dakota Wild Buckwheat, ilikeverin ilikeverin has reached out to leaders of the Midwest biological community (particularly that of the Midwest's public university system), seeking to form an inter-academic collaborative effort to document and locate all endangered species within the borders of the region and publish the results in a freely accessible, online database.

ilikeverin ilikeverin has also released two maps for possible reorientations of Atlasia if the national government is abolished:

The two maintain some level of geographic continuity within the regions while disrupting any possibly burdensome continuity between the regions of today and those of Atlasia's bright, shining, disunited future.

Also, Merry Christmas ;D

I thought I passed an amendment to change the veto rule to be "the [ilikeverin] may break ties", but apparently not.  Oh well.

I'm still surprised anyone would resist having the titles set by the [ilikeverin].  It didn't change the name of the offices as-is, and keeping the names in the future would just be a matter of avoiding electing Loonies.
