The Political Thread

<Snipped quote by Pepperm1nts>

How exactly do you think social democrat differs from just -normal- democrat?

Are you suggesting you share the mainstream democrat position on most/all, social/cultural issues? (And perhaps, primarily/solely focus on said issues?)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy

Social democracy is a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and capitalist economy. The protocols and norms used to accomplish this involve a commitment to representative and participatory democracy; measures for income redistribution and regulation of the economy in the general interest; and welfare state provisions.[1][2][3] Social democracy thus aims to create the conditions for capitalism to lead to greater democratic, egalitarian and solidaristic outcomes.[4] Due to longstanding governance by Social Democratic parties and their influence on socioeconomic policy development in the Nordic countries, in policy circles "social democracy" has become associated with the Nordic model in the latter part of the 20th century.

Socially I am very liberal; I don't care what you do so long as it isn't hurting anyone; I don't think the government has a right to tell you what to do with your body, ect. In that sense I identify more with the democratic party, but that doesn't mean I like the party as a whole. The mainstream, establishment branch of the party is full of corporatist neo-liberals who are in a lot of ways closer to the right-wing than they are to being actual left-wingers; I don't think the mainstream Democratic Party goes far enough left (cue horror screams) when it comes to certain issues, as evident by the way they try to tear people like Bernie Sanders down whenever he tries to argue for free healthcare and college, and how they're trying to do the same to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Socially I think the party is mostly on the right track, at least compared to the right-wing who is still having temper tantrums over things like gay marriage.

Like I said, I like it and don't see anything wrong with it. Good to have you back.

The only places taken in Russia are St.Petersburg and the surrounding area (known as the Russian Empire), Moscow and some of the surrounding area, and Ukraine (and some of the surrounding area). The Russia map on the front-page is mostly up-to-date I think.

Russia is in such a chaotic and lawless state that, really, anything goes. There's no major problem with that idea, and if that's what you want you're free to write an app/sheet. I don't know to what extent a group like that would have control of Siberia, though. In all likelihood, their territory would not make up all or most of Siberia because Siberia is a big place that is not easy to control and administer. There are also likely other groups in the area that would exert their own influence and control so they'd have to deal with that as well. Beyond that, the only concern I feel is worth pointing out is that China will invade in force at some point. If you want to deal with that, then you're free to stay in Siberia. But fair warning that, when that happens, things will be very difficult for a group such as yours. People on the west side of the Urals are protected by the mountain range, so they aren't as vulnerable to it, but in Siberia you're pretty much right in the way of the eventual Chinese invasion. Again, if you're okay with being an underdog, then there's no problem.

My two cents, but Aaron should also have a say here because Siberia is his side of Russia.

The list isn't up-to-date, but most of Russia is available. The only claimed areas are:

Russian Empire/St. Petersburg
Moscow
Akhangelsk
Ukraine

Everything else is up for grabs.

EDIT: We have too many cossacks pls no more

None of the unclaimed states have anything set in stone for them, so you're mostly free to make up whatever you want for them. You can also alter the borders however you want as long as it makes sense. There is no one in particular that you need to talk to about any of the Russian states, but there are some players in Russia, like myself, that you can ask specifics to since we're the most in tune with what's going on in that part of the map. And nah, you don't have to PM anyone. I meant that if you wanted to ask specifics, you could PM me, but you don't have to.
