A quick look into her history makes her seem okay.

At the very least, she'd likely be better than Ginsburg. But, then again, I'd also support an inanimate object over Ginsburg.

Interestingly, Israeli youth are far more politically conservative than their parents and grandparents (although not too surprising, given the nation's gradual move from socialism and its prosperity under Likud). According to a recent poll ahead of the Knesset elections, 65% of Israelis aged 18-24 prefer conservative Netanyahu and only 17% prefer centrist Gantz. Meanwhile, 53% of Israelis over 65 years old prefer Gantz and only 35% prefer Netanyahu.

Also, a 2017 poll showed 67% of Israeli youth identify as right-wing and only 16% as left-wing:

The Israeli left is basically irrelevant, and it's now a competition between the center and the right. The once-dominant Labor Party is now hovering electorally among minor parties. Not sure what they've got in the water over there, but maybe they should export a bit of it here.

Hello there fellow nations! I am new to your region, and I hope to help however I am needed. I have had many nations, and even a few large ones. I hope to make this nation a permanent hobby of mine. Looking forward to the fun!

I can attest to this personally. I worked with maybe 7 or 8 Israelis a few years ago, and all but one were very conservative. My Israeli friend Ronen is actually a gay, Trump-supporting soldier in the IDF!

Maybe having to serve in the military at such a young age contributes to their conservatism?

I don't like the draft, and I don't like the government telling you that you have to be in any military.

There might be some truth to that. Generally, people tend more towards conservatism as they age and have life experiences. Serving in the military is a whole lot of life experience in a short amount of time, so I could see it contributing to the youth's conservatism in Israel.

I am not a cheerleader for conscription, and the United States certainly does not need the draft, but Israel is a different case. Being a small country that's constantly threatened both by insurgents and by nations that are far larger, having a population that knows how to fight a war could be necessary for its very survival.

Hello,
I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's Emperor. But for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the Gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd Era...and the final hours of my life."

Welcome, Behym! Enjoy your stay in the most free region in NationStates. :)

Thank you, I知 new to Nation States and so I知 still getting used to the format and stuff but I知 excited to have some fun! A good friend of mine told me about the game probably a year ago so I finally got into it! He told me you guys used to invade the communists? Like how does combat work in this game?

Good to have you! Yeah, here's a bit of an overview:

Most all regions have an elected leader called a "World Assembly Delegate." The WA Delegate is always the person in the region with the most endorsements (if you join the World Assembly, you can endorse other WA members in your region). It varies by region, but the WA Delegate has the authority to vote on behalf of the region in the World Assembly and often is able to edit the region's info, kick people out of the region, and set controls on who can move to the region.

"Combat" in this game is basically just piling into a region as a group, endorsing one of the group, and taking power "democratically." The new WA Delegate, depending on the region, then forcefully deports any opposition and sets a password on moving into the region so that they can't come back. You'll get a hang of it as you play NationStates more! It's easier learned by experience than by explanation.

It's pretty fun! Unfortunately, Libertatem's "War on Communism" ended a few years ago, but we won a lot of big victories while it was going.

Good question. If I recall correctly, both Pevvania and The United States of Patriots were working on separate constitution proposals. Have either of you made any progress with that? Let me know if I can help in any way (ideas, drafting, etc).

I have worked on one that was a revision of Wilhelm's (Highway 88's) which I still have up in my factbooks. I haven't worked on it since and there was a bit of disagreement over Article 2. I tried to build on the Romish theme of Wil's earlier draft if you were wondering about the names of positions. Both of our proposals are built to function with the relatively low activity that we currently have. Which is why some positions that would ideally be held separately are joint in the new proposals. Which is why I am strongly in favor of some form of Citizens veto if this system were to be adopted. If you have any other questions let me know, So far I haven't done too much to revise the current proposal
I believe Wil still has his proposal up in his factbooks as well. I'm not sure what stage Pev is at currently
