I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Nemeth, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war against...

With all due respect, if all of us believed this were sufficient, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now, and Justices should not be telling the Regional Assembly how much regulation to ensure the Court's independence is sufficient. Intervention in this discussion by Justices, to use...

I disagree. Deputy Ministers are responsible for assisting in the leadership of their division(s) of the Executive, and often have decision-making responsibilities delegated to them or even end up running ministries when the Minister is away or for some reason can't fulfill their duties. A...

I don't agree with this decision -- isn't it the Attorney General's job to find out whether the law was broken? -- but I'm not good at NationStates judicial affairs and I don't feel qualified to prosecute this complaint, so I will not be further pursuing it.

This may or may not be relevant for the Government's consideration.

Perhaps we should shift away from the back and forth over the R4R and seek to make the law more clear. Specifically, we need to ask ourselves these questions: 1. Should non-citizens be permitted to serve as Deputy Ministers/Speakers? 2. Should Deputy Ministers/Speakers be permitted to...

This thread is actually one of the places where I can express my concern, whether you like it or not. Don't come to The North Pacific and try to tell citizens of The North Pacific where they should and shouldn't post; if citizens weren't supposed to post here, we wouldn't be able to post here...

I'm 150% sure that Nierr is not the only one who needs to cut it out, or are Pierconium's/Gracius Maximus' OOC flamebaiting and trolling acceptable? I will, however, agree with Pierconium in one respect: It is high time for the Delegate's Government to give the NPO the answer it has...

Is there a reason these were the only two militaries mentioned? Were the rest deemed insufficiently pure and/or annoying to Grub? Because there were many other militaries involved. Taking a region for a few minutes is "a decisive battle"? This from the region that ridicules and completely...

Court Justice (select up to 3):] Vazos | Piscivore | The Democratic Republic of Tomb Would you like to reopen nominations? No Attorney General: Abstain Would you like to reopen nominations? Yes

Thank you! I like both guillotines and axes. :P Yes, that is appropriate, thank you!

To avoid keeping GM waiting any longer, I will not be prosecuting the complaint against him either as I trust the Delegate's judgment. Should the Delegate decline to prosecute falapatorius due only to lack of a prosecutor and not because she finds no merit in the case, however, I will be taking...

Name of your region: Asgard Link to your region's forums: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Asgard/index/ Head of Government: Cormac Stark (pending elections) Head of State: Cormac Stark Minister for Foreign Affairs (or equivalent): N/A at this time. Short description of your region: Asgard is a...

I think this change makes sense.

I basically agree with SillyString's comments on all of Eluvatar's topics of discussion, and with McM on granting automatic Border Control to the two or three Security Councillors first in the Line of Succession. I would also support allowing the Delegate to give BC further down the LoS if...

I basically agree with this and see it as a good reason not to give the Vice Delegate access to Border Control, as that will lead to less willingness to elect a newer citizen as Vice Delegate (as it should).

Oh okay, thank you!

Madame Delegate, can you clarify whether this means you have rejected the case on behalf of the Attorney General's office and I now need to proceed with managing prosecution of the case? That's how it appears but I'm not certain.

Name of Complainant: Cormac Name(s) of Accused: falapatorius; Gracius Maximus Date(s) of Alleged Offense(s): 10/14/2015 Specific Offense(s): Espionage; Gross Misconduct Relevant Excerpts from Legal Code or other Laws: Summary of Events (What happened, in your own words): falapatorius, the...

Having thought about it, I agree that all Ministers having access to Communications at all times would be problematic. McM's suggestion for the Delegate to give Ministers access temporarily and when the Delegate deems it prudent could work, or we could give Communications access to the Minister...

I personally think this makes sense: - Vice Delegate: Appearance, Communications, Embassies, Polls - 3 Security Councillors: Border Control, Appearance, Communications, Embassies, Polls - All Ministers: Communications (maybe + Embassies for MoFA) - Speaker: Communications That brings us to...

Changing my TNP nation to Nemeth.

After talking to McM a bit about it, I could see how it would be a good idea to give the top three or so SC members at the top of the Line of Succession access to Border Control. It would be nice to have someone else with Border Control if the Delegate goes inactive or gets abruptly deleted...

I concur with r3n and Eluvatar. Border Control should be handed out sparingly and only when necessary, otherwise we will be making the Vice Delegacy and Security Council even more enticing ways for would-be tyrants to perpetrate coups. We've already seen on numerous occasions how much damage can...

Welcome, and congratulations on your election!

Why do you bother to lie when the truth, in your own words, is documented one page ago in this same thread? Is lying really so natural to you that you just do it by default, no matter how absurd? :eyeroll: The NPO has made itself an enemy of other Feeders and Sinkers by constantly perpetrating...

You are a citizen of The North Pacific who is also Emperor of the New Pacific Order, currently advocating the NPO's interests, which are contrary to TNP's, while pretending you're not doing that. Because duality. You are a charlatan, and not even a very good one. You are doing it right now...

As I have already explained elsewhere but will repeat just once here, I was concerned that Ivo/Knot still had access to the Delegate nation and that if I didn't play along with the coup until closer to minor update, he would have time to use that access to further damage the West Pacific. Closer...

How drastically has the leadership changed? You've gone from one half-hearted supporter of coups serving as Emperor (Krulltopia) to one who, admittedly, has throughout his history been much more committed than Krulltopia to tyranny and undermining the sovereignty of other Feeders and Sinkers...

I'm sure you do, Emperor. Please don't ask us to believe you're impartial here because of your duality claims. Whether the NPO remains fully isolated does not change whether the NPO should remain as isolated as possible. Just because other Feeders and Sinkers have reopened relations with the...
