Most Likely To Secede

The Issue
A group of bearded militiamen have recently declared rural Buy Mombota County a sovereign and independent nation! Western Navascuez's talk radio pundits demand immediate government action.

The Debate
"Gov'mint's not workin' fo' folks 'round here," says Falala Mistletoe, a turnip farmer, "We have ourselves a guar-un-teed right to form a gov'mint that works for us. We don't want any confrontation, now, we just want to shake hands and let ya'll get along with yer business while we get along with ours."
[Accept]

Does anyone know the effects of this option, both stat wise and nation-description? I really can;t figure this one out

Interesting idea. Revolutions, particularly anarchist ones, are cool.

It's a real issue, albeit a rare one. Not sure how to get it.

I *think* that it raises political freedoms. Other than that I think that civil freedoms may go up, economy may go down, and economic freedoms may go up but keep in mind that this is just a guess.

I just got it in my ‘anarchy’ puppet. here’s the issue in full:


The Issue
A group of bearded militiamen have recently declared rural Pete Love County a sovereign and independent nation! Old Eony's talk radio pundits demand immediate government action.

The Debate

"Gov'mint's not workin' fo' folks 'round here," says Hope Hendrikson, a turnip farmer, "We have ourselves a guar-un-teed right to form a gov'mint that works for us. We don't want any confrontation, now, we just want to shake hands and let ya'll get along with yer business while we get along with ours."

"I can't believe this!" shouts General Bill Sherman. "This is tantamount to treason! Our political system would collapse if whole territories were allowed to leave at any time. It would be chaos! I propose that you let me take care of the problem...permanently."

"Perhaps we can reach a suitable middle ground," says an elderly gentleman resting on a park bench, "If we were to bring government close to the people, and allow them to have a modicum of self-determination, perhaps they wouldn't feel the need to cede. Let's give the local governments more power."

"Our last caller made a really good point," says talk radio host Violet Rifkin, "These decent, hard working citizens are clearly being brainwashed by Old Eony Public Radio's prattle. I don't want my tax dollars supporting their agenda. Therefore, the answer is clear: dismantle Old Eony Public Radio."

Any idea how one gets this issue? Or: what are the qualifications ot be eligible for this issue?

I wish that I knew. One person suggested that you have to have anarchy. Perhaps if you have too many economic freedoms, and enough civil and/or political freedoms to feel that you can get away with it . . . :?

Dangit, I WANT that one! But most of mine have still been pretty darn cool. Why not check the bottom of the issue, see who it was made up by, and telegram them a query?

Well it says:

Issue by: The Bureautocracy of Leptonia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/03331/page=display_nation/nation=leptonia)
Editor: SalusaSecondus (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/03331/page=display_nation/nation=leptonia)

But I don't know if you will get anything from them, it would take away the fun :wink: .

Personaly I think it has to do with economic freedoms or a large economy.

I think it has to do with political freedoms (Superb or higher). Three of my four nations have received that one, and they have PFs of Superb, World Benchmark and Excessive. The right to secede, as far as I can tell, it a political freedom.

EDIT: Economy could factor into the equation, too, but I'm not sure, I didn't keep track of my economies but I know they were all Thriving or better.

I hope I get it.
