I am very sick.

Yes, it would undoubtedly draw attention from the North Pacific, but how much attention should we hope for it to get from the NS world community? As to the contents of the library, the "historical fiction and satire" will be related to NationStates only, or would it include real world subjects?

Alexander Hamilton.

Sorry for the late arrival. Good luck, Fedele; I'm glad to see you're interested in this ministry also. In my campaign thread, I made suggestions about creating an interregional university, with headquarters in the North Pacific. I am curious as to what your perspective is on that; how...

Have any of you ever asked 'Why do we have a ministry for that?' I have, only instead of bypassing it, I have taken it upon myself to transform something that seems pointless to many and turning it into a center of regional activity. With the cooperation of Arts and Entertainment, I hope to make...

I, Americanicus I, hereby declare my intention to run for the Ministry of Culture and Education.

I'm currently working with Lemuria and England.

:cry:

Oops, forgot the invasion issue... If, for example, a region is invaded either by an army or an individual who garners support (through influence or by force), the URSC may decide to intervene, its method being immediate disposal of the invader and the establishment of a UR peacekeeping team as...

Now that's scary... http://s12.invisionfree.com/The_United_Regions/ I just made that a few days ago.

I think you keep missing the point that if the spying is discovered, both regions would be removed from the UR entirely. As to not being able to hold positions in the UR, it says Representatives, not Ambassadors, are required to relinquish other positions/obligations. And the legality of an...

Ruscan Knights? Be very careful, Grenval; I think this is a nation of the same invader who destroyed our first forum. He has caught wind of plans and perhaps sees an opportunity to attempt a takeover, remoldeling, or sabotage of some sort. If he is, be careful about involving your region with...

With 196 posts, a TNP baby :noangel: v a swarming mass of quasi-deadly insects over a desert land. . . .

"MoF" could be slightly offensive... By the way, why does everyone include articles in abbreviations? "Of" is an article and shouldn't really be included in the abbreviated title, so "Minister of [not Of] Finances" should be "MF" -- right?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Humanist philosopher

Sorry -- Enterprising Genius For the Ages (EGFA = Americanicus). Hersfold?

I say yes; personally, I still have plans for a NationStates University (NSU), perhaps with its leading faculty members (including myself) from the North Pacific. In order to do this, a union of feeders to establish conversion rates between regional currencies and allowing for payment, etc...

Glad you like it, Nukes Anyway, HC, let me know what you decide.

No problem, Grenval. Well, the reasoning behind the policy of abandoning all other positions may seem unnecessary, but is very important if the person is a native of a member region -- they may use their position to benefit it. Granted, they might do so without having a position in their own...

If we join the UR, that would be a fairly important decision to include in the update.

No, it applies for all positions in NationStates (that the UR can find out about). There's no harm in a cabinet member being an ambassador, but not a representative. It really depends on the extent to which you wish to control your forum. Sometimes it can be an excellent policy. You aren't...

Who is he?

There is never an exact number -- the laws of the UR prevent it from having a standing army, as it is not exactly a sign of peaceful intentions. Each time a peacekeeping force is needed, contingents from contributing member regions are assembled in whatever number is necessary. And the UR was...

Be sure to watch the Colbert Report!

Opened to the public now; here you go.... Charter, Specifications, and Regulations

Yeah, sorry about that. :D Regulations go on forever, but here's the Charter: We, the Peoples of the United Regions, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war and to reaffirm faith in the dignity and worth of individual nations and in the equal rights of regions large...

About joining the Security Council (URSC): there are five permanent members and five elected members (each term is for two months). Each URSC region is approved by the GA and doesn't need to be confirmed by the permanent members. I think it could definitely be arranged for TNP to be a permanent...

Anyway, if you decide in favor of the UR, it would be possible to set up a UR commission; sort of a TNP UR Organization composed of a panel (myself included, I hope) who could present their arguments and come up with a coherent plan.

Yes, the new forum is up: http://westarcadia.proboards75.com/index.cgi (and hibernating) As to paper tigers, don't you just love them? The UR wouldn't interfere with regional sovereignty at all (if a member region violates the Charter's principles then the GA could vote to have it expelled, but...
