OOC: err... just be careful with the word Libertarian, its a bit of a two-edge sword, firstly its an archaic and perhaps no longer used word for anarchism, and secondly it is also used for the free-market, minimal state politics of conservatism.. Liberalism might be the phrase!

As a libertarian nation, whe wish to ask:

Have you considered the Accord? (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=154695)

you`re right. except "its an archaic and perhaps no longer used" ... its still a common word for anarchism, but mainly in theoretical circles and not in streetfights *g*




so liberalism and not libertarian is ment?

No, when I said Libertarian, I meant Libertarian.
The dictionary we have here in the Quasiquotidian Public Library and Shooting Range defines "Libertarian" as:
(n.) an advocate of full individual freedom of thought and action.

This is the idea behind Libertarianarea, and what we are striving to promote.

Anarchy, in its purist form, is the absence of government, but has connotations of violence and disorder. We do not advocate those things, and so do not use that word.

You can use whatever words you like to describe things, but please believe that we here in Libertarianarea are fully capable of using appropriate words, and can probably put them in the correct order to form cogent sentences as well.

Plus, I don't see you joining Libertarianarea. So why even bother us? Don't you have something better to do?
