Delegate Delirium
Sponsored by The North Pacific Ministry of Culture
What is Delegate Delirium all about?
Delegate Delirium is the event that marks Delegates' Day, which occurs on September 9th every year. Delegates' Day seeks to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work of all of TNP's...
You’re right, except SC (and Speaker) were added to the list after the executive had this requirement first.
This doesn’t strike me as a super complicated matter. If someone has some novel tweak they may explore it in formal debate.
I motion for a vote.

Recently there's been some new discourse surrounding our FoIA process, but different than what we used to hear previously. People have noted how long and onerous the process of declassifying is, and that there's been precious little of it happening in recent months if not years. This is nothing...
I think you should have taken Sil’s advice for improving the bill. Try to match the standard of the existing code so everything is seamless. There’s still time in formal debate to make changes. I will not support the original version.
As for the concept: we barely celebrate or recognize the...
Blue Ridge involved itself in Frutiger. It was the primary region of note that did so, and was active in the effort to repel the invasion. It doesn’t matter why it was involved, it was involved. Your decision to reprimand a member of your region for flying your flag and moving into the region is...
Regrettably we did not have the space to include the details, such as the fact Blue Ridge provided the initial piler force, had an embassy with Frutiger, or that you, Adkissa, were the only regional officer in Frutiger to successfully ban a jumper during the raid. You probably would have...
Back then we had regular raiding partners, and the infamous ruling that held back the NPA is newer than you might think, January 2021. But that only impacted joint ops - as you said, we led more ops back then.
The recent diplomatic environment is not the one we used to have. We’ve seen a drop...
Sometimes our army wants to join an operation with other regions, which they are not always able to tell us about well in advance. Sometimes the opportunity is quick or even the same day we learn of it. This bill wants to make it so that we can participate without delay. Under current law, if...
A Brief on the Court's Procedure in Accepting This Review
Submitted by Pallaith, in his capacity as a private citizen
I did intend to submit a brief in support of the challenged action the Court has decided to hear, but before I dive into the specifics, I wanted to address another important...
If this passes, it would be yet another classic TNP-stereotype making the modern operation of this region even more annoying for those of us who still bother to try. No one likes to have to be in this situation. Perhaps some of you should take a look outside and actually see what color the sky...
I was not making that point due to a perceived loophole, but distinguishing the two examples of a delegate serving in a mandatory ministry. I actually believe that had Ruben not explicitly acknowledged he will be continuing to carry out those duties, the MoD position would be vacant. Perhaps you...
And I suppose this proposal gives us an opportunity to revisit that. The RA itself abandoned the idea of picking ministers when the delegate could not, 13 years ago, so hardly an example of a recent trend of giving up power. This wouldn’t be the first time that something in law was ambiguous...
I’m not following this alarm you seem to have about this. The delegate picks the members of cabinet, not the RA. The RA isn’t giving up anything. If you forbid the delegate from appointing himself to one of these ministries, he can put a sock puppet to look pretty and sign the papers and carry...
Sure. But that hasn’t been the case the only two times it’s happened since I’ve been in TNP and the context surrounding both events is very clear. A despot is going to despot, and they’ll do a lot more than just this.
Also I want to again stress for the audience here, Ruben was already MoD when...
As promised, should the Court decision not go the way I'd like, this should cover the aftermath.
Simply put, this codifies the right of the Delegate to serve as a mandatory minister. Because this is apparently such a crazy idea for some of you, I went ahead and placed a limit on its use. So...
Never include section numbers in clauses as subsequent legislation may render it outdated. I would say "as an Executive Officer charged with any of the preceding duties" but that's just me.
In the last couple of years we have seen delegates struggle to staff these important roles, ones that...
