Midwest Governmental Thread

[Akno21]

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.

Well then don't invade us.

Some problems with that plan, Akno.
First of all you're assuming that the other Regions will care about what happens to the city of Nyman.  That might be the case for the Northeast, but I think it is safe to say that the Southeast and probably the pacific Regions won't mind all that much if we lose a few bureaucrats.
Second, you're assuming that the Midwest doesn't share.  If we decided to go to a four Region setup, it would be easiest to eliminate the Mideast Region and use the following map:

I think people will care if we hold hostage a Presidential Candidate who is amazingly popular, such as Kemperor. So Ernest, you don't care if the heads of WMS and StatesRights get chopped off?
I was using the current region map, which is the only fair way to do this stuff.

Why would a Presidential Candidate waste his time being in Nyman?

The new Senate isn't is place so why would Senator-elect WMS be there?

As for StatesRights, given the monster some make him out to be, what makes you think his head wouldn't just grow back?

Because he currently works there.
Well, maybe he moved in early, and also, this isn't going to happen right now. It can wait 2 weeks.

... this isn't going to happen right now. It can wait 2 weeks.

Well then, we'll have plenty of time to get the people we care about out of Nyman before the invasion takes place.

We only invade if we are invaded.

I do not condone Akno's threat of holding Nyman hostage. However, I am hereby announcing the creation of the independent 'Mideast Militia' preparing to counter any enemies of the Mideast region.  Any and all Mideasterners take note. I am even considering postponing campaign stops in my Governor's campaign to oversee training and deployment.  I am buying thousands of barely-legal weapons, as well as antique fighters and bombers mixed with jerry-rigged private planes (hey, I don't know where I can legally buy F-16's!), and several hundred Hummers and thousands of gallons of camo paint.

My plan would be a lot cheaper. All we need is a guard large enough to hold Nyman captive and keep it near the city.
