I’ve made a site that I hope everyone will find useful, Atlasia1  If you’re wondering, I’m going to try to make the candidates names clickable and eventually they will link to a site about their views, with quotes and other information.  I haven’t started that, yet.  If anyone has additional info, please let me know.  Oh, one last thing, what are the top 20 issues in Atlasia?

I am running for the Mideast Governorship (as opposed to the Midwest), as is DanielX. The elections are this coming weekend, beginning January 21st, not February 18th as your site seems to suggest. If you want to list me as something, I suppose Former Attorney General is fitting. You also misspelt my name.

The UAC is dead, I wouldn't suggest you list it anymore.

Union deserves to be in the second tier certainly; The UL should really be moved to the third tier since they lack a discernible party structure of any kind whatsoever. The UL isn't moderate by any measure of the word IMO, it is essentially a socialist party.

The Jesus Christ Party is a party of trolls, there's no need to list them. The No Brick party has now been re-named the Atlas Liberty and Justice Party I think, though its still only got DanielX as a member. There is a Libertarian party, but it too has little to no discernible party structure, and barely an active member, it certainly isn't second tier.

The States' Rights party is basically some sort of Conservative party with a bit of neo-Confederacy mixed in, I wouldn't consider it very libertarian.

The Attorney General is now Harry.

Given the immense amount of confusion it caused me trying to work out which States were in what District by having to go through each Region, I would suggest you setup one page that deals with Regional elections (and ballot props in those Regions), and another to deal with District elections. Obviously that might be quite a bit of work for you, so don't feel you have to or anything.

I'd just like to say that the work you've done here is absolutely brilliant and I'm incredibly impressed. I'll collect up some of the banners I have from previous campaigns and email them to you.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the great information.   I accidentally linked to old, rough draft pages, so most of that stuff was correct in my new draft.  Sorry about the "Perter," that’s when I realized something must be wrong because I knew I had corrected that.

The UAC is dead, I wouldn't suggest you list it anymore.

I know that they're dead, but they still have members.  I decided to list all parties with members.

Union deserves to be in the second tier certainly; The UL should really be moved to the third tier since they lack a discernible party structure of any kind whatsoever. The UL isn't moderate by any measure of the word IMO, it is essentially a socialist party.
I actually thought it was ultra-liberal, but someone else said the UL was moderate *exits hastily to change it*

The Jesus Christ Party is a party of trolls, there's no need to list them. The No Brick party has now been re-named the Atlas Liberty and Justice Party I think, though its still only got DanielX as a member. There is a Libertarian party, but it too has little to no discernible party structure, and barely an active member, it certainly isn't second tier.

I categorize them according to number of members.  I know that doesn't really work, but I don't know any other way to list them.  If you have an idea of what would better qualify parties for first tier, second tier, etc., please tell me Smiley

The States' Rights party is basically some sort of Conservative party with a bit of neo-Confederacy mixed in, I wouldn't consider it very libertarian.

Should I call it "the Neo-Confederate Conservative Party for Atlasia" Wink


I knew that, and I'll change it, but I'm getting tired of making corrections at the moment *wipes forehead*

Given the immense amount of confusion it caused me trying to work out which States were in what District by having to go through each Region, I would suggest you setup one page that deals with Regional elections (and ballot props in those Regions), and another to deal with District elections. Obviously that might be quite a bit of work for you, so don't feel you have to or anything.

I actually wanted to do that, but I decided to wait till after the Constitutional convention and see if the Senate changed to represent the regions or what knot, and then change it.

I'd just like to say that the work you've done here is absolutely brilliant and I'm incredibly impressed. I'll collect up some of the banners I have from previous campaigns and email them to you.

Thank you very much for the compliment!  And thank you again (about the banners.) I'm really excited as this is my first site (as you can tell I'm going though a trial and error process.)

Well the UAC has 3 members since all those who were vaguely active have now re-registered. It won't be too long and the SoFA will list them as Other, just like the dead AFIP members. In theory there is also a Green party (KucinichforPrez) and the Socialist Party (Shapeshifter) if memory serves.

A few things. Number one I am currently owner of Atlasia's largest corporation, Atlasian News Corp. LTD./The Regency Hotel Group, I am owner of the largest newspaper in Atlasia, the National Atlasian, and I am a Constitutional Convention Delegate.

Union Party now has over 10 members. I would describe it as a Moderate Right Libertarian Party.
Libertarians are really very inactive and have almost ceased to exist as a party.
The United Left is broadly a Social Democratic/Socialist party with a Moderate wing.
The UAC is dead.
Farmer Labor has 6 members and is an Economic Socialist/Liberal and Socially Moderate party.
States Rights party is a Conservative party in every sense of the words.
PLEASE DON'T RENAME THE PARTIES!! WE NAME THEM WHATEVER WE WANT. Instead of saying Social Democratic Party of Atlasia just say it is a social democratic party.
Jesus Christ Party should not be included.
Not Brick Party is now the Atlasian Justice Party or something like that.

Wow, that site looks great.  Excellent work! Smiley

Here's the banner that I used when I ran for Senate:



Here's the banner for the Harry/Akno21 ticket a while back:



Here's Harry's re-election banner from last election:



If I remember any other banners that I've made, I'll let you know. Wink

Let me assist you in filling out some "?" information on your site:

Htmldon (U) - Former Governor of Southeast Region, Former Vice Presidential Candidate

...thats pretty much it, none of the other "?" have any political history. Tongue

Nice website, BTW.

OH, and your party list is kind of outdated and inaccurate:

MAJOR PARTIES
(10+ members)
Democratic Party (35): The Liberal Party for Atlasia
Republican Party (28): The Conservative Party for Atlasia
Constitutional Union (13): The Moderate-Libertarian Party for Atlasia

SEMI-MAJOR PARTIES
(5-10 members)
Atlas Freedom Party (9): The Moderate-Populist Party for Atlasia
The United Left (Cool: The Socialist Party for Atlasia
Farmer Labor Party (5): The Populist-Liberal Party for Atlasia
Libertarian Party (5): The Libertarian Party for Atlasia

MINOR PARTIES
(3-4 members)
States Rights Party (4): The Conservative-Southern Independence Party for Atlasia

Midwest Page:

Filing deadline: the day before the election (April 21st, this time around)

You meant to say the states of Oklahoma and New Mexico are in D4.

Also, a bit of a mistake on my part; The 'At Least Nothing Bad Has Happened' is from August, the I Like ILike is from October.
