If the "Republic of Gamers" was real, what would their elections be like? Who would be the candidates? Parties? What would the big issues be? (hexbear.net)

One of the founding documents of the "Republic of Gamers," predating its charter but enshrined in Mountain Dew and Doritos Present Republic of Gamers Hall of History and K/D Ratio Excellence Prepare To Die Edition and Knuckles, would be this:

"The Red Pill is 120 thousand fit college educated middle class men. If we really wanted to we could invade New Zealand and install a new government. We definitely have the manpower. There are plenty of veterans here. Plus everyone here knows where the magazine release is on an M16, from years of playing Call Of Duty.

Realistically the Red Pill Reaction Force would be far more effective than half the world's militaries. The Afghan military is fucked up on opium. The Iraqi army cant even do jumping jacks. . Plus New Zealand has only 8 thousand military personnel the majority of whom are useless paper pushers.

I don't actually support the violent overthrow of New Zealand. I just think its kind of a fun idea conceptualy."
