Midwest Governmental Thread

[ilikeverin]

First of all, I'll finally post my victory speech

(setting: the newly created Belle Fourche Convention Center, Belle Fourche, SD)
(cheers)
ILV: *waves hands around*
(teenage girl platoon faints)
ILV: *John Edwards thumbs up*
(cheering)
ILV: Thank you!  Thank you!  Hello!
(cheering)
ILV: Yes!  Thank you!  Thank you to everyone from the Midwest!
(applause.  numerous ILV for Governor signs held up)
ILV: Even if you did not vote for me!
(scattered boos)
ILV: Now, to rest my voice from shouting at the late returns that went for me, I'll let Bob Announcer tell you what else you got!
(curtains behind ILV open, revealing a HUGE TV.  ILV walks off stage)
Bob Announcer: That's right, ILV.  Nto only did you reelect the all-great-one ILV, you now know how to pronounce his name!
(cheers)
Bob: Remember... it's EYE (crowd: EYE! screen: I) -- LIKE (crowd: LIKE! screen: LIKE) -- VEHR-IN! (crowd: VEHR-IN screen: VERIN) But that's not all!
(wild screams)
Bob: You also won new election laws, to make elections work better for you!
(applause)
Bob: Not only that, but governors not from Minnesota don't have to be sworn in by the District 3 senator!
(applause)
Bob: But there's sitll stuff you didn't win...
(ohhhh, awwww)
Bob: Yes, you did not win an initiative to keep crazy partisanship out of the Midwest.
(awww)
Bob: And you didn't give money to the troops so they could train better... and thus train Iraqis better and get ourselves outta there faster!
(ohhh...) (ILV walks back on stage)
ILV: Thank you!  And remember, stay after for the ILV Super-Hyper-Celebration Dance Party, DJed by me!

Anyway

Anyone interested in a Midwest regional website?  Maybe a forum, too, but I'm not sure.

Also, I'll work on a less confusing ballot for February

Any questions?

LOL, yes, that too

That's one of my ideas for the Midwestern flag.  Sky blue and 'grain yellow'.  The top blue is for the sky and horizon, the top yellow is for the sun, the bottom yellow is for the agricultural resources of our region, and the bottom blue is for the lakes and rivers of our region

My other idea is similar to this: a circle of 10 stars, with two intersected like the first one and four above and below the 'horizon line'

Does anyone care at all?

Don't worry, I'll find someone.

Yay!

Maybe you can invade the Mideast or something like that.

They are the only region without a national guard, have no constitution establishing them as a real independent body, and their leader is...um...absent. They would be the perfect region to invade

If invaded I'll order a group of Marylanders to hold all of Nyman (which is in our region) hostage until the other 3 regions bring in their large armies and take out the Midwesterners.

*tsks* That's a no-no.

[ilikeverin]

We should merge the Midwest into the Pacific...it only has nine or ten people...

Over my dead body!

Losers.  We'll secede and form the Federal Democratic People's-Republic-That's-Not-A-Communism-Or-Socialism of the Midwest.

We're too cool for you
