I hereby propose this absolutely ridiculous, but proportional, map:




Orange is uncontiguous.
As is green- look at Maine.
11977  Atlas Fantasy Elections / Atlas Fantasy Government / Re: Confirmation Hearing: Bacon King (Secretary of Defense) on: July 11, 2006, 12:34:41 pm
I'd like to ask. What are your qualifications, and why do you feel as though you are the best choice for this position?
My qualifications include my previous service in the Atlasian government, as well as my interest in the armed forces. I feel that I am the best for this position due to my ability and desire to serve in this position. I will strive to be an active and able secretary of defense.


I have a question for the nominee, What do you plan to try and do while holding this position?

First, I would like to streamline (but not cut) the Atlasian military budget, in order to make a modernized military more affordable for our nation in these times of deficit. I also hope to encourage recruitment, through additional benifits for enlisted personnel.

May I ask the nominee, why do you want this position?

I want this position because I enjoy serving Atlasia in whatever way I can. If nominated, I will strive to do my best to provide input to our government on the issues of defense and national security.

11982  Forum Community / Forum Community Election Match-ups / Re: 1984: Alf Landon vs. Walter Mondale on: July 10, 2006, 01:12:56 pm
Mondale. At least he got 13 electoral votes when he ran; Landon only managed 8. Mondale also, unlike Landon, at least managed to get over 40 percent of the popular vote.

But then again, Landon performed so poorly because he was running against the universally loved FDR, Mondale sucked just because he was, well, Mondale.

I was going to make a long and detailed response, but then I realized you posted ten pages of if it, far too much for me to even have the time to look at. And you seem so head-strong about this whole immigration issue, I doubt anyone or anything could nudge your opinion on it, even if facts were in their favor.

Possibly. Though I could feasibly see the election getting thrown to the House if enough Wilson votes switch to TR.

freedom fighter. if i recall, the Whig big wigs such as Webster intended to use him as a puppet, but he resisted their influence.

...By dying? Thats quite some resistence. Kind of like that Cambodian Monk who set himself on fire to protest the Vietnam war i think.
lol, i should clarify. In the short time he was alive, he basically told them to 'f**ck off'
