Shireroth

P.S. On an unoffical note, my new party in Ashkenatza, AEI (Ashkenatzi Ecological Integralists) - the offical successor to the controversial Green Thunder Legion - advocates close relations with the SC. I don't want to use my position here as a political springboard, but I would assure you that under an AEI administration, Ashkenatza would rapidly rise through the ranks of the small commonwealth, rather than remain cautious and cynical, as the insidious bund would have us do. I know that Shireroth, as an ambigiously stated "Imperial Republic" doesn't really have parties per say, but are there any Shirerethan Dukes who would be interested in supporting my new suspicious political scheme for the sheer lulz? Perhaps the Khan would like a little political radicalism?

I do hope you aren't looking for an official endorsement from the Imperial Government for a private political party.

Come to Elwynn. We'll talk.

LOL!! Subtle, My Lady...very subtle

I'd appreciate a brief summary of the party platform. I'm intrigued by the use of the term "Ecological".

I felt that Ashkenatzi politics a few months ago needed a bit of radicalism to get it going...basically ecological integralism (a form of economically particularist fascism that advocates civic over ethnic nationalism and has absolutely no racial agenda). AEI is a toned down verison of Green Thunder - a ruthless organisation for which I was the grand Hierophant that had its own paramilitary divisions (Psychopompoi and Greenmen) - the Nohsi recommended that I disband it, but I fell again that Ashkenatza needs some political intrigue to get its blood pumping. Our supporters pray to Gaia, drink Chorophyll cola and dye their hair Green! Go to Ashkenatza and look at the Green Thunder party forum in Rubinsteiner street under (failed parties) and you'll see how funny it all is! THERE WILL BE NO LITTERING!

Political parties in micro-nationalism are often short-lived and ineffective. This is by no fault of their own; there just are not enough voters and potential party members, and the independent nature of most micro-nationalists makes individual political alliances often too numerous and varying for the typical party line or manifesto to gain solid and lasting support. Even so, I welcome this party to Shireroth, in as neutral a way possible, of course.

To be honest, Green Thunder/AEI is something that I launch from time to time to keep Ashkenatzi politics on its feet. The consistent threat of militaristic lunatics does, as several of our election campaigns show and activity levels, do good for our political simulationalism from time to time. We're a bit worried that people will think that we are actually fascists because of it, but frankly, I maintain that if people were going to deduce our characters from our micronational activities and personas...well...

Political parties are illegal in Shireroth, I made sure of it during one of my reigns.

Dang! I wish someone had told me that sooner!!
That said, some patronage/matronage wouldn't go amiss...

They were legal for a time. But generally frowned upon even when briefly legal. I try my best to make them not exist.

I believe I made them re-illegal when I was Ruling Steward. It doubled as a test of the powers of the Steward when zie's actually the one in charge.

Totally got things done in those 2 weeks. I'm proud of myself.

Astopov, fancy a nice holiday to the frost bitten plains of Tsofnland?

OH SH*T...Urm...Herr Noshi...what on earth are you doing here???

I had a Barony in Shireroth before you were chewing on your first latke, you bourgeois momzer.
I'm no longer a citizen here but I do pop by occasionally to see how everyone's doing.

damn. Wish I still had my greatshirted thugs...
