TL;DR: Let your voice be heard! Apply for Citizenship to take part in the legislative process.

What is the Regional Assembly?

The Regional Assembly makes up the legislative branch of our government. It is where new laws are created, existing laws are repealed, treaties are ratified or revoked, and government officials such as Security Councillors and Election Commissioners are confirmed as well as other non-legislative business. Sound pretty important, right?

Who can join?

Every Citizen of The North Pacific is automatically a member of the Regional Assembly. All Citizens have equal power in the Regional Assembly since everyone ultimately gets one vote. Nations that reside in The North Pacific can apply for citizenship here.

How can I get involved?

The most important thing that all members of The Regional Assembly can do is vote. The more votes there are, the stronger our democracy is. Besides voting, members can provide feedback on current proposals and even create their own proposals!

How does a Bill become a Law?

Any Citizen of The North Pacific can bring a proposal to the Regional Assembly. The process is as follows:

1. A proposal is typed up in a specific format and posted on the Regional Assembly forum.
2. Other Citizens voice their input on the bill and the proposer makes changes to the bill in response to the feedback.
3. Once the proposer is satisfied, they move for a vote.
4. A formal debate period is started by the Speaker and can last up to 5 days. This is the last chance make the bill perfect before voting begins.
5. The vote is scheduled by the Speaker.
6. If a proposal gathers a majority of the vote, it passes in the Regional Assembly.
7. Passed proposals are sent to the Delegate who either signs off on them or vetos them.
8. Proposals that pass in the Regional Assembly and are signed off on by the Delegate become laws.

A more detailed version of this process can be found here.

Who can I contact for further questions?

The Speaker of the Regional Assembly, guslantis, and their deputies are available to answer any questions you might have.
