This is awesome. International politics gain a whole new dimension when you imagine the various government leaders having affairs with each other. --- On that note, I still can't get this picture out of my head. Naughty Dubya, giving massages to the German chancellor! :rofl:

I still have my own morse converter from back when I was playing notpron. Also, I am reminded of the Lexicon.

The problem appears to be here a conflict between Principles and practicality. I am the first to admit that a solidly defined and inviolate Constitution is the highest good of the region - but to retroactively strike Tresville from the ballot when he is elected by the majority is, for practical...

Nation: Ermarian Zone: B The Empire of Ermarian should be located on the southern isthmus extending from zone B. Our nation's climate is somewhat tropical, and the west side of the central mountain range (that divides us from north to south) has dense rainforests. The eastern part is more...

I, Ermarian, do hereby solemnly swear that during my appointed term as Minister of Internal Affairs, I will upload the ideals of Freedom, Democracy and Justice of the Region of the North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through the North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code...

There is no Sunday, June 9 2008. Today is Sunday, June 8. If I have missed the deadline by a few hours, I plead lack of internet access. In any case, my vote is symbolic and would not affect the outcome, and it would be bad form not to post it. Eluvatar.

I vote for this resolution.

Congratulations on your new offspring! :)

Forum Username: Ermarian TNP Member Nation: Ermarian TNP WA Member Nation: Ermarian Delegate: Eluvatar Vice Delegate: Great Bights Mum Speaker of the RA: mr_sniffles Council of Lower Officers (choose up to THREE): Kharkistania, Grimalkin aka Agamemnon Mustang, FALCONKATS

I support this proposal.

When I returned to find the Crimson regime in power, I took the opportunity to give my scanner a major overhaul. The new version unfortunately has no public stats yet, so only privileged members can access it. There will be a user access system and public stats in the near future.

:cry:s about the people who :lol: 'd

Well, okay. Legally, the delegate has nothing to say about the forum structure. :P

Other than in the WFE... :P

Govindia, Eluvatar seconded his nomination by accepting it. If this sounds questionable to you, I remind you that when I nominated myself, Mr. Sniffles' support was sufficient to second it. Whether you nominate yourself and get seconded by someone else, or someone else nominates you and you...

I am available for the next 8 hours, but not after, unfortunately. And the elections are tomorrow.

Re 5: You are, at heart, a lawyer? I can forgive much, but not all. :(

Meh. I think it's sad when people don't look past the headline to the text. I'll take a well-written, sensible "restrict civil liberties" over a "disarmament" resolution that runs "omg lets all make luv not war!!111" any day.

No, no it does not. At most, it brings up the question. Begging the question is something a debater does, not a circumstance does. :fish:

It is highly unlikely I can make it tomorrow, and even more unlikely I can make it more than 5 hours from now.

Sydia: Yes, the constitution defines z13 as the forum, and not going rogue means the constitution remains in force. Besides, I hate forum moves. They're inconvenient and take too much time to get accustomed to. ;) Edit: It will also remain "intact". I do not have any suggestions for...

Thank you! --- In other news, Eluvatar and I have discussed our respective potential cabinets. He has declined to publish or contact anyone prior to his election, and I will do likewise. This is not a blank check. Though the Constitution gives the delegate the power to appoint and dismiss...

I have totally seen Abstain's secret off-site forums that she will replace these ones with. We can't trust that girl. Go with Mum. Edit: Weird. I'd always figured Abstain as female. He or she's certainly very secretive about their identity.

Other than what it is now? More active, and an important player on the international stage. A place to join, rather than just a place to be born in. This is what I hope to achieve. I also intend to leave the office by the same way I enter it, namely through an election.

The Bill of Rights (specifically the rights to determine World Assembly membership, relocation and endorsements) prevents nations from being drafted into service, which I consider a very good thing. That said, I believe that voluntary participation in any of the government organizations is a...

I congratulate you! :lol:

I thank you both! :)

It's well-written and even humorous. For this, I can excuse the fact that it will hit political freedoms slightly.

I do not think that this will be an impediment. It is true that I have held no cabinet positions, but I have an active voting record in the Regional Assembly and I do know a lot of the history of the North Pacific. However, I acknowledge that there are some things I just do not know, and I will...

For the power. Well, no. I've seen this region stumble between glory and disaster in the past few years, and I have a few ideas for the future that I would like to try out to give it more of the former and less of the latter. For example, we need a closer cooperation between the branches of...
