    Oath of Office Act

    I don't see a need to require an oath from ambassadors in line with the sentiments others have already expressed. And if we did decide we wanted them taking oaths, I think it would be preferable to broaden who has to take the already existing oath and for it to apply not just to ambassadors but...

    The way we vote.

    The Co5 elections are actually conducted using the single transferable vote, which is essentially the multimember version of instant runoff voting. Both methods are preferential but the counting method for Condorcet is different. Both Condorcet and IRV do, however, ensure some kind of majority...

    The way we vote.

    While the problem that's being brought up here (no requirement to get a majority, meaning you can win with a majority of people voting against you) is very real and a serious problem with plurality voting, this proposal wouldn't solve it. The proper way to fix it would be with the two round...

    Security checks are done by the admins just to make sure no one is using proxies or trying to register multiple times.

    Amendment to the Bill of Rights

    If we really want to deal with this by legislative action, wouldn't it be simpler to just pass a resolution overturning the policy, rather than amending the Bill of Rights?

    Citizenship and Residency Updates

    Drumgol's nation has moved out of TNP and Agasteon Empire has been inactive for over 30 days. They have been removed and should be remasked.

    AG Reform Bill

    Even if you do classify it as a judicial office, what arbitrary theoretical label you want to apply to its functions (part of a plural executive, judicial, prosecutorial) doesn't change what the actual powers of the AG are. We shouldn't fall into the mindset that just because we tweak something...

    Amendment to the Constitution

    We're going to lose quite a few active RA members if we impose such a WA requirement, and since most of those people are not actually working on behalf of an outside organization the benefits wouldn't be worth the hit. EDIT: Also, you can have a WA in TNP but still be working for an outside...

    AG Reform Bill

    That the AG is elected separately from the Delegate (plural executives exist in most US states for example) and just happens to have its offices located in the judicial forums doesn't make it any less of an executive officer in its actual functions, so that particular issue is a bit of a red...

    The Problem With The North Pacific

    The new legal code does establish strict time limits for each part of the trial. The issue has been with getting things to trial and that's not a new development.

    The Problem With The North Pacific

    I would like to point out that the current Constitution is 41% the length of the old one and the new legal code as of the NPA Doctrine Amendment is 83% the length of the old one, so the size of our legal documents has actually shrunk recently.

    The Problem With The North Pacific

    Freedom of speech does not oblige private entities to provide you with a venue for your speech. As Blue Wolf already pointed out, the #tnp IRC channel is such an entity and unaffiliated with the government. They are free to choose who, if anyone, they want to permit there under which...

    Interpretation of Legislation

    That's not what I'm saying. My point is that if there's ambiguity in the language used then it's impossible to rely on a literal reading alone and in such cases using intent to disambiguate would be acceptable. For example, suppose for some silly reason we had a law which say "No person may...
