I agree with Lennart that the option to abstain should be given in all votes and elections except runoffs.

I thought The Minister of Foreign Affairs appointed ambassadors and were in charge of FA? Here are the changes I have made. And this was the only way I could make it a JPEG so it's a bit small.

I have created a simple flow diagram that shows our government system (I hope), just to let newcomers get their heads around how TNP Government is structured. If I've made any mistakes or missed anything that should be included please tell me so I can change it.

Thanks for the replies. Does any specific person or rank appoint Diplomats? Same question for Admins and Global Moderators.

I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me what a Diplomat and Foreign Envoy does and If they are elected, selected by a higher power or promoted from a lower rank, and who is in charge of them. (Above them and below them in rank if any). Much appreciated.

I have heard the comments of many members of The North Pacific, and based on your comments I have decided not to pursue any further with my suggested system. Thank you for your contributions and I hope I can contribute more ideas to The North Pacific to help it grow. I was also just...

Does this solve a few of your questions? Attorney General – In charge of the courts and is not involved with either the Prosecution or the Defence but is a neutral judge that is free to make his own decision on the case and will only have an influence on the result if the jury cannot make a...

I agree that we should have a defence council for the accused. We could take a census on who would be willing to perform jury duty when the time came, and possibly set up another group inside the RA who are a part of this. If not enough people are willing then we can scrap the jury idea. But to...

Here is a slightly revised system. 1.Any crimes committed that violate the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the laws of The North Pacific should be brought to the Justices and Chief Justice. If the Justices and Chief Justice reject the case brought forward, due to reasons such as lack of...

I like this idea, it's more efficient for passing acts and will definitely speed things up. If we become faster and more efficient at doing things it will relive a bit of pressure from the guys at the top, so they don't have to be worrying about, or chasing up on things for days. Overall it's a...

I see people are worried about this system not working, because the Jury won't do it's job, it's too complicated and time consuming. But I've already explained that this system isn't time consuming as it only takes one trial, and if the jury doesn't do it's job then the decision ultimately falls...

It's not exactly much of a chore, all that needs to be done is read the prosecutors evidence and the defendants evidence, then just post guilty or not guilty. Jury done.

It basically means that the Justices (not the Chief Justice) are the prosecutors, I was thinking if people don't think they should be the ones to do this then we could introduce a new role in the system, but I wasn't sure about this.

Ok, sorry about the misunderstanding, I just think that we could at least give it a go, we all know the Courts have problems, well this could be a solution or at least the first steps to one. The problem most people seem to have with this is the jury idea as they are usually indecisive and have...

I thought you said because I was new I couldn't make or suggest changes because TNP has a reputation to uphold and I would just damage it.

I'm just trying to get involved in making TNP a greater region, I don't think that offering ideas and suggestions to improve a recognisably flawed system should be looked down upon.

Even if the jury doesn't find a verdict in a trial, it doesn't just fall apart. If no verdict is found by the jury, there are a number of procedures it can fall back on to find a conclusion. For example, if no decision is made with a 100% vote on a verdict then the result is decided by the...

How could adding the opinion of the RA into trials make things any worse? All RA members are checked up on before they're allowed to join, and it won't be too much hassle to just read a post containing evidence for and against and then making a decision. Also, if the jury does bail or can't...

TNP Nation Parmistine Justice: Mall

Thanks for your comments. The reason for the Justices deciding whether to take further action or not at the beginning, Is because some accusations may either be false or lack any real evidence. Since it is the Justices job to convince the jury to convict the offender, they need to make sure...

Proposal for the new Judiciary System 1. Any crimes committed that violate the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the laws of The North Pacific should be brought to the Justices and Chief Justice. If the Justices and Chief Justice reject the case brought forward, no further action is taken...
