This is the official Imperial Party thread.

Note: The conditions of my nations have nothing to do with my beliefs.

Note: Your nation does not have to be this way for you to join, as this game is not supposed to be serious.

Manifesto:

The Imperial Party will control any country that joins it. The countries must obey certain rules. It is somewhat like the expensive joke known as the UN, but with 3 major differences:

1. It has its own large and advanced military, independent of the ideas of the nations belonging to the organization.

2. It taxes its members.

3. Its decisions are independent of the views of its members.

Imperial was probably not a good word, but I could think of none better.

The rules are these:

Government type:

1. I will have full control of the Imperial Party (duh). You may send in suggestions for new rules, but I may not use them even if everyone else likes them.

2. You may have any form of government you want, as long as it is not as it is not communist or socialist, although monarchy is recommended.

3. None of your laws will take up more than 1.44 Megabytes, or one floppy disk.

4. The sum of all of your laws will not exceed 64 Megabytes, or one small USB flash memory device.

Economics:

1. You will give ten percent of your budget to the party.

2. That amount may increase slightly if you act in ways contrary to my will.

3. I will not give grants to build museums and garbage like that.

4. You will not give grants to build too many museums and garbage like that.

5. You will not over tax the people.

6. Extensive welfare programs are banned. If able bodied persons are out of work, make them work for you. You can always have more people picking up garbage along the side of the road.

7. No tax on beer, eh?

Morals:

1. Divorce is banned.

2. Adultery is banned.

3. Men wearing pink or skirts, or carrying purses, in public, are banned.

4. Sodomite marriage is banned.

5. Abortion is banned.

Legal system:

1. Punishments that ironically relate to the crime are preferred.

2. If the crime is very great, or no ironic punishment can be thought of, beating is preferred over prison terms and capital punishment.

3. No person will be in jail for more than five years. If a person is in jail, then the punishment is hard labor.

4. Capital punishment will be legal only if there are eye witnesses that the defendant is guilty.

5. People may not sue for millions of dollars.

6. The lawyers in a class action suit may not receive more than US$250,000 each.

7. Citizens may only sue if they have a problem, not if they are scared because they were exposed to asbestos, or some other stupidity.

The internet:

1. If a server is in another country, the rules of the internet may be enforced with massive denial of service attacks from government servers.

2. Hackers can be punished only when they cause damage or steal or release secrets.

3. Web sites must use the proper TLDs. These can be found at http://www.norid.no/domenenavnbaser/domreg.html .

Wars:

1. You may not invade another country in a pre-emptive strike.

2. If you are engaged in a just war, then I will intervene on your behalf.

3. If another country in the party is engaged in a just war, then you should intervent on its behalf.

4. I define a just war.

5. You may not invade countries that also belong to this party.

6. I will attempt to settle arguments between nations.

7. The media may be punished when it releases state secrets.

Will the idiocy ever end?! :headbang:

No. It never will. You are an example of that fact.

Man I hope you aren't serious about running in the next election. Your just going to waste time and votes. You'll be the Nader of NS, and, believe me, we already have enough of those.

More than likely this will end soon, though. Lack of interest tends to do that.

No. It never will. You are an example of that fact.

WITTY RETORT!

Man I hope you aren't serious about running in the next election. Your just going to waste time and votes. You'll be the Nader of NS, and, believe me, we already have enough of those.
We had 3 "Nader" parties in the last election that took up WAY too many votes. :headbang:

This is a super extremist party. It won't take up too many votes.

i'll join the party. do we have any other members?

Not yet, but now I can send it to the official party list. Maybe that'll get some more people.

well, maybe by pushing this back to the top we'll get more members.

Intriguing, but i have a few gripes -
1. I answer to no man. My presence in the UN is to stir things up a bit - to break up the tedium of saving whales, and promoting the farce of democracy.

2. Why should i Pay YOU my money, when my standing army Is sufficient to maintain a moving mechanical island - In the sky, no less. Fear of attack is not an issue, and since My domain is always preparing for war, Defense is not an issue.

3. why would I bow to the will of another?

Outside of these issues, it sounds like a capitol idea.

It would be hypocrisy to remove my absolute rule over the party, and if I got enough people to give me money, I could have the biggest army in the world! And I can always send aid if your economy collapses.

I get the impressiong you believe you have a really big army, which you probably do. But if you have a big army look at my nation and wonder what my capabilities are....i've been here since 2003.


BTW, I'm interested in joining this, I'll consider it.

I already have a pretty big army (half the size of yours), and I could have more if I got ten percent of a bunch of nations' budgets. The only problem is that it would not show up on NS calculators. And I might turn this into a triumvirate if I feel like it; I suppose that would not be hypocrisy.

a triumvirite, like in ancient rome? but didn't that cause the downfall of the roman empire. i dunno, they always sound kinda bad. look at what happened to the mongolian empire when they instituded a similiar government to a triumvirate. if we made some way to kind of unify the countries as one, such as free trade between our countries, but extreme restrictions on trade with other countries, and some influence of leaders upon the other countries in the group, we might be able to have a more unified triumvirate(or more than three, this idea might sound more appealling and we may get more members), and i think it could work. what do you think? only thing is that we'd probably have to change our name from imperial party to triumvirate party, heheheh.

The triumvirate was long gone by the time Rome fell, but I haven't read any Mongolian history. I was just suggesting it because some people don't like the idea of me having full power. I do think your idea for trade is good.

have zerathoft and the great dominator joined the partY?

Not yet. I'll look for more people.

I'll gladly join! I support and run a Satanic authoritarian/police state government.

But... I also have a few minor disagreements...
1.Your not extreme enough.
2.Capital punishment should be use for all violent crimes.
3.People should be able to be in jail for unlimited amount of time.
4.I support invading a enemy country in a pre-emptive strike. Especially when it benefits me or the whole party.
5.I should be able to define a "just war" especially when it benefits me or us.
6.I wish to over tax the people when I need to or when I want to, like during war.

Besides those things listed above, I strongly support your ideas...

I am serious about this party, in case you didn't know. I really am a monarchist. I will not put those into effect. As for complaints 2 and 3, I thought you'd like the laws about beating and "letting the punishment fit the crime."

1. what of is extreme in measurement to?
2.i agree. if they don't agree, get rid of them.
3. i think if you're going to do that, you should just kill them instead, waste of space and time in prison.
6. well, we could have a common pot of money, just keep all govenment money together, and when one country is in need let them borrow from it.

also, i'm pretty shure that imperial dark rome is serious.

Not going to join, and don't plan on it.

We moving mechanical islands have to stick together, you know...

Extorting money by means of force is not an option - I'm a freakin' island in the sky, my economy is pretty strong, and i have alll of the other moving mechanical islands behind me.
Including battle island, which hosts regular gladiatorial games on Pay-per-view.
