@United States of ConnX passes the Speaker's check. @Berke Khan, @the president of vananatu, and @United States of ConnX have passed all checks and are therefore citizens.

Accepted pending a successful admin check (you should get one shortly as part of your citizenship application). Edit: accepted. Welcome aboard!

I don't think it would any more than recusals currently are, considering the lower threshold and specific circumstances in which it would (or can) be used.

Alright. Good to know the court's able to make sane decisions. :D It's still an easily fixable oversight that creates an unfortunate loophole.

I think that a recall is a nuclear option that only gets trotted out in response to particularly egregious dereliction of duty. I also think that waiting for the next election does nothing to ensure that a specific given case is handled in an impartial manner. A justice may fail to recuse...

It's perfectly legal; that's the entire problem.

Agreed. I know I'm getting off topic, but if the court restricting the right to vote under certain conditions is sound, shouldn't the legal code restricting it under certain conditions be sound too? I'm not planning to add such a provision, just to be clear.

I mean, an appointee can already vote aye in their own confirmation vote and a candidate can vote for themselves in an election they're running in. Is this all that different?

People's Liberation Army of the North. That way, we can say stuff like "It's all part of the PLAN."

While looking over section 7.6 of the legal code (the part regulating the NPA), I noticed a peculiar little loophole: the legal code doesn't actually say that the North Pacific Army is the region's military. It merely states that the "executive officer charged with military affairs will...

Split off from this bill because it doesn't exactly cover the same area anymore. At the moment, the only way to recuse a justice who refuses to recuse themselves despite a potential conflict of interest is for the other justices to vote to recuse them (or to sue the justice in question). This...

After giving a bit of thought, I decided not to go back to the previous version of this bill, which only amended the legal code to expand the number of excepted positions (it felt messy and a little slimy to revert to a version that did essentially the same thing but with more words and a lower...

Greitbart: The Hunt for the Missing Endorsements Many things have gone missing since alleged citizen @St George (if that is his real name) was carried into the Delegate's office on a sedan chair: freedom, success, patriotism, rum, the de facto classification of RPers as second-class citizens...

Could I please get an admin check on Iceina (NPA)?

Accepted! Will DM shortly with more information. @Iceina should pass an admin check first (failed due to business IP).

Your appeal has met the required conditions, and has been presented to the RA for deliberation. You may discuss your appeal and answer questions here.

@Madeline Valois, @Musa, @Dictatorship of Sencalia, and @Oceanica have failed the admin check and their applications are therefore rejected. @Madeline Valois has appealed their rejection here. The others should follow any instructions given by administration to resolve their issues.

Madeline Valois failed the admin check here and appealed their rejection here. They have not been confirmed by administration to have been linked to another forum account or be using a proxy, have a resident nation that is a member of the World Assembly, and have not already had their rejection...

This motion has failed to achieve the requisite 2/3rds majority support to pass. A voting breakdown can be found here.

Concur. This is a very odd way of implementing secondary regulations. I assume they're new obligations, since the word used is "must," as opposed to "can," which is used earlier in that same clause to refer to steps workers can take. It raises a question: employers must take... what steps? To...

@Zyvetskistaahn passes the Speaker's check.

A Big Ol' Detag Dump GP forum post Before going on a well-deserved break, General @Nimarya led a spelunking expedition deep into the bowels of the NPA ops channel to determine just how many regions tagged by the Brotherhood of Malice the North Pacific Army hit and restored during the last few...

NATO's a bunch of communists. Makes total sense you shill for them

Silence, commie

This is now at vote. Voting will last for 5 days, until (time=1650410700) in your time zone. Discussion may continue in this thread.

Greitbart Opinion: The Case for Banning RolePlay Ever since @St George saddled up his high horse and started riding a hole through our Constitution seven months ago with the momentum of @Sir Kasto sprinting toward his CPSU membership card, few things have changed more in our region than the...

The above motions are recognized. Barring three successful objections to the scheduling of the vote, voting will begin in roughly a day, at (time=1649977200), to allow for any further comments. Voting will last for 5 days.

I figured the same. It's not like we have frivolous (or really any) recalls either despite any citizen theoretically being able to start one. That's what a recusal effectively is anyway- a temporary recall. That's definitely a debate-worthy reason! My counterarguments are that the ability of...

This is now at vote for the next 5 days. Voting will end at (time=1650157800). This thread may still be used for discussion.

Breaking: NPA Soldier Bitten by Bug, Becomes Threat to Region MAGICALITY CITY - While scrubbing toilets in the Ministry of Defense's private officers' bathroom, an unassuming NPA soldier was bitten by a radioactive dung beetle that somehow got out of the Ministry's bioweapon test lab. In a...
