My fellow atlasians,

Are you tired of corruption plaguing the government?

Are you tired of the ideological homogeneity of both dominant parties in Atlasia?

Do you desire change for the better in a difficult stage in our history?

Look No Further! As I watched my citizenship application go through, I saw many unpleasant signs of Atlas Government's corruption and quasi-totalitarian tendencies:

  • Ex-President DFW's drunken incident and subsequent attacks on the press
  • The lack of any reasonable debate between the dominant political forces
  • The Atlasian parties becoming homogenous beyond any reasonable bipartisan point, to the point where the only ideological difference between Labour and Fed becoming the ideological difference between two warring street gangs

Now, you may ask, "SamTilden, if you are so angry at the Atlas Government, what do you want to change?" Here is what I say:

  • Home rule for Nyman: All people deserve a say in governmental affairs, even Nyman's residents. Given the important nature of Nyman's ties to the federal government, keeping it a part of an official administrative region will put the occupying region (South) into enormous political influence in Nationwide affairs.
  • Providing a new, independent voice in government: Bipartisanship in any country is commendable,
     and Atlasia is no different. However, it has reached a point where the two leading parties (Labor and Fed) are becoming ideologically homogenous to the point where the same agenda is dominating government, with little consideration to any other opinion.
  • Anti-Corruption: Every nation needs and deserves a government that isn't corrupt. (Note:
     Long-Term goal, as NDC isn't currently in my or my allies' jurisdiction)

Given the two parties' monopoly on government (and by extension the voters), I do not expect to win. However, every voter who votes for me, votes to send a message to all of Atlasia: we want a representative Atlasia for all ideas!

How will you, as a member of the Lincoln Assembly, achieve "home rule" for a district under another region's jurisdiction? Assuming you are successful, how would this effect the right of DC citizens to vote in regional and senatorial elections? Would Nyman become a de facto fourth region with its own playable executive and legislature, and if so, how would this effect national activity in a time when the existing regions already struggle to recruit candidates for office?

Endorsed. It looks like you'd be very active in the Assembly.

Good point. NDC's home rule will be more of a supported long-term goal, as hopefully more independently-minded legislatures win seats.

The idea is that Nyman will gain a mayor-DirectDem Council government (due to the lack of population exclusively in the area), where the Mayor serves as a de facto Senate member. Essentially, it becomes a de facto region.

Endorsed. It looks like you'd be very active in the Assembly.

Thanks for your support, Governor.

It is FANTASTIC to see a candidate remember President Liberty-Lover's drunken escapade of a few months ago; and to see a person to determined to drain the Nyman swamp and defeat the Nyman Consensus is heartwarming!

  • Ex-President DFW's drunken incident and subsequent attacks on the press

I for one would like to apologize to you for whoever has led you on this wild goose chase. Atlasia is frankly better than this. But I have to tell you this, The Nyman Questioner is a 100% satirical News Paper. Every story in there is made up for the lulz. Wells even said so in the thread himself on multiple occassions.

The sad truth is that Atlasia doesn't have a real media that is active, any more. Well's paper is a fun gag and we all play along with it, but there was no drunken incident and his paper doesn't have any authority to generate such incidents as Wells is not the Game Moderator.

My fellow atlasians,

It is fun to spout a narrative, but it is whole different story when its gets challenged. You are basically calling me a liar, and I don't take kindly to being called a liar. You cannot hit the ground, preach honesty and then lie about my record and the record of the Federalist Party to score political points.

I encourage you to take a look at our platform, adopted 13-2.

I also encourage you to look at the Federalist Agenda for the House if we regain the majority.

I have been on the front lines in Congress fighting socialism, centralism, executive tyranny, gov't incompetence and stupidy for a long time. If you are going to come along and say I haven't been doing so you better be ready to challenge a record stretching back almost a decade in this game.

Clearly what has happened is someone has sold you a bs narrative to recruit you into this game and that is incredibly sad. New people seeking to join this game should not be sabotaged and disadvantaged as you have been, out of the gate.

The biggest thing you need to learn in this game is skepticism, because there are people that will say and do anything via PM just to get a vote.

Mr. Tilden, best of luck on your endeavours! DFW's supposed incident is press satire, of course, but I'm glad to see new voices standing up for some important values and for new ideas in Atlasia.

         It cannot be emphasized enough that respect for process and the determination that justice and prosperity can only exist so long as such impartial processes can be maintained form a cornerstone of conservative political philosophy. In this respect, the Federalist Party could not be more different from Labor.

         That such a narrative could convince people, I attribute more to the low degree of philosophical literacy among politically-interested persons. That a thread such as "Summary of Political Beliefs" would prompt long lists of positions on specific policies betrays a disturbing tendency to think of political ideologies in atomistic terms, without acknowledging the overarching themes that define what one believes and why.

         With all that said, welcome to the game and best of luck.

    I'm unqualified to vote since I have been here only 5 days (and constitution perscribes 7), but if I was here for 7, here is what my ballot would look like :

    What will you do for personal freedom?

    As freedom and the will of the people go hand-in-hand, I shall be a warrior for both freedom for the people and responsibility in government. Some ideas:

    • Legalizing Snoop Dog's favorite thing in the world
    • Maintaining current freedoms against Govt. aggression
    • Legal Abortion
    • Right to bear arms
    • Freedom of Speech
    • The idea that if it doesn't infringe on another's rights, then it is a right.
    • Similar ideas to this: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=29615

    NOTICE TO ALL MY SUPPORTERS:

    Given the small likelihood of myself winning the Lincoln Senate Race, I ask my supporters to write me in on the Lincoln Assembly Ballot. This way, even if I lose, I can still carry the Citizens Party banner into a Government where Citizens isn't represented. I repeat, write my name in on the Lincoln ballots in the upcoming election.
