The Blue States
20-05-2004, 02:13
OOC: I'm aware that the US does not exist in NationStates. I'm aware that some nations who ascribe to earth-like NS Earth theories lay claim to parts of US. I just wanted to make this nation for the heck of it, RP it for a while to have a little satrical fun, etc, etc. Take none of this seriously, please.
This whole thing stems from the whole "red state/blue state" "culture wars" thing talked about by political pundits. Basically, for those who don't know, the Blue States are the liberal ones, the ones that voted for Gore in 2000. The Red States are the conservative ones, the ones that voted for Bush in 2000.
The Culture Wars, according to pundits, are a dispute over values going back to the 1960s. The Blue States have liberal values, The Red States have conservative values, obviously.
If any nation wants to make a "The Red States" nation, and roleplay this out, I'd love to RP this nation against you.
Also, if any of the real life people mentioned are offended in any way, don't be. Consider this my homage to your valiant efforts against our unelected president. Of course, you probaly, and rationally, won't do all this that it says below.

Walking up to the podium, the leadership of the Democratic party was about to make a big announcement. A very big announcement.
Nancy Pelosi walked up to the podium. "Greetings, my fellow liberals. Today, the DNC has lined up all the states that voted against George W. Bush in 2000 to secede from the United States of America, and form the United Liberal States of The Blue States."
She let the resounding words linger in the air. "In the states that had conservative governors, populist rebellions have sprung up. New, and not rigged by the RNC, but truly free, elections will be held in one month's time. The same goes for the Senate and House of these states, as well as the president. Al Gore will serve as president until then, where a multi-candidate election, as many as they want from any party that wishes to field a candidate, for president and all other offices. Today is a great day for The Blue States. I now yield the podium to President Al Gore."
Gore walked up onto the podium. "All I have to say is, this is the real land of the free and the home of the brave. This is the real America. And this is what I have been planning since George W. Bush rigged the Florida election, bribed the supreme court, and assumed power like a dictator. This is what the DNC has been planning since that dark day, January 20, 2001. Oh, yeah, and we are moving to annex the District of Columbia from the forces of the National Guard of the State of Maryland. Our forces have massed in the Bethesda region, and are now moving down the beltway. George W. Bush will be tried for treason."
