Surprise (?), I'm running for Justice. Let's get experience recap out of the way first. I'm a member of the Bar Commission, I've served as a prosecutor, and I've written a rather controversial brief for a rather controversial R4R. I've written a few bills that passed the Regional Assembly, the...

I resign as Delegate. This has actually been in my head for a few days now. While at the beginning of this vote, I thought I had the energy left in me to continue the fight for my Delegacy for another week, it turned out to be too much for me. I could fight a political campaign against the...

New NPA Generals 2 August, 2023 Over the past year or two, the NPA General Staff had been slowly depleted through various departures and a lack of suitable candidates to fill in these gaps. This meant that the High Command pretty much gets an entirely new crew every term when the Ministers and...

Appointments @Magecastle is hereby appointed Minister of World Assembly Affairs. Further appointments for vacancies will be announced as soon as possible.

Democracy Day July 7, 2023 Happy Democracy Day! I figure I would take some time out of my absence to mark this important occasion. As some of you might know, I am currently in Berlin, a city that serves as a living reminder of Germany's troubled history with democracy. Democracy in the real...

Declaration of Absence Per Section 7.8.48 of the Legal Code, I am declaring that I will be absent from the office of Delegate effective immediately for a period of one week. As required by Section 7.8.51 of the Legal Code, I will declare when I am resuming my duties in a subsequent post. As you...

If I have to describe my past month as Delegate in one word, it would be “unpleasant”. It seems that crisis after crisis has followed TNP these last few months, and as Delegate you’re inevitably involved in all of them. And taking a stance as the Delegate is very different to taking a stance as...

Manumission Day Address May 26, 2023 Today is Manumission Day, and this year it marks 18 years since the end of Pixiedance’s reign of tyranny over the region. In those intervening years, we have experienced long periods of instability, multiple coups and coup attempts, rogue Delegates, and...

On The Aurora Alliance A month since The South Pacific expressed its sincere apology and acknowledged the wrong it did in allowing its Minister of Foreign Affairs to extort The North Pacific’s previous delegate, we have been given another apology from the same Prime Minister, this time for...

New Minister of Culture It is with regret that I acknowledge @Dreadton's resignation, and I hereby appoint @St George as Minister of Culture. St George/Madjack should need no introduction. Many of you may remember him as a successful former Delegate, but before that he had served stellar terms...

Gameside Advocate Appointments I am re-appointing @Fili as Lead Gameside Advocate for this term. Fili has done well in his dual role last term as both Minister of Culture and LGA, coordinating efforts in the GA team to make gameside players more aware of what's going on in the region and the...

Opening Address: May 2023 Friends and North Pacificans, I come to you today with my first address as your duly elected Delegate, somewhat bizarrely having already been doing the job for the past month. I am humbled to have earned your confidence to be elected to a full term as Delegate, and I...

Foreword When I was elected Vice Delegate four months ago, I certainly wasn’t expecting to be in this position come May. But it’s the job that I’ve been given, and over the last three weeks I’ve put in many hours and my best effort. There were many people, both within TNP and outside, who...

April 28, 2023 As some of you might know, neither the government nor the Administrators have full access to our regional nation The Northern Light right now due to the absence of the owner of the nation and the maintainer of a large number of our scripts, @r3naissanc3r. This has caused a few...

Response to Recent Defender Transgressions April 22, 2023 The North Pacific is a proud Independent region. While we share common interests and goals with regions we consider our friends and allies, and our interests may even be perfectly aligned at times, the decisions we make and the actions...

Statement from the Acting Delegate Dear North Pacificans, It is no secret that I have assumed the duties of the Delegate in rather difficult circumstances. The last time that a Delegate left office in the middle of a term - also by way of resignation - was in 2015, which in this region and in...

@Vivanco has petitioned the Election Commission to review the decision by January 2023 Special Judicial Election Supervisors @Pallaith and @Sil Dorsett not to consider @Rae's self-nomination as a declaration of candidacy. The relevant rules of the Election Commission governing citizen petitions...

The Security Council has nominated Hulldom (Hulldom) for a seat on the Security Council. The vote for this application was 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, and 2 abstentions with 1 member not present. The Chair now presents this application to the Regional Assembly for its consideration. The Security Council...

As I mentioned in the thread for the original bill (now law), there were some changes that were discussed in the thread and should have made it into the final version but were left out due to an oversight. This bill is intended to fix that. Nothing else has been changed.

Gorundu For Vice Delegate Yeah, it’s me, I’m back. Some of you might still have some memories of the close call I had with this position exactly a year ago. Anyway, most of you should have at least some idea of who I am, but for those who have joined this region more recently, here’s a brief...

Application for Admission to the Bar Applicant name: Gorundu Part One: Experience as a Justice or counsel 1. Have you served as a Justice (including as a Temporary Hearing Officer)? No (if No, move to question 5) 2. Between what dates did you serve as a Justice (including as a Temporary...

For the second time this year we have been faced with a situation where forum access was interrupted for a not insignificant amount of time. To my best count, the forum was down for between 6 hours 45 minutes and 7 hours 30 minutes, based on the last post on the forum before it went down and...

Given the recent discussions on the lack of clarity with the threshold for treaty repeals, I think this would be a sensible Constitutional Amendment:

It's always kind of bothered me that the thread is in Delegate's Government, even though a lot of the oaths being sworn have absolutely nothing to do with the Delegate's government. It feels to me that having it pinned in the Agora is a much more appropriate place. Alternatively, the Regional...

It would be a shame to leave this special election uncontested when there are so many good potential choices, so I have decided to offer myself for consideration. The title of this thread speaks to the somewhat interesting situation I'm in running for this office. Often candidates for Justice...

I've noticed some inconsistencies between the three existing mentor templates for non-citizens, citizens and those who applied for citizenship (e.g. the last one asks the player to join Discord, but the other two don't for some reason), so I figured I'd make some updated versions by combining...

In short, I'm pretty sure all of these are OOC offenses that should (and would) be covered by Admin. For the sake of completeness, I'm going to go through each one: Crashing - The clause basically describes forum destruction, which I'm pretty sure is an OOC matter Phishing - Pretty sure trying...

Gorundu For Vice Delegate Hello everyone, it is my hope that most of you have at least some idea of who I am. I’ve been in The North Pacific for a while now, and in that time I’ve served as Speaker, my first Government Official position in TNP, then Minister of World Assembly Affairs under...

As alluded to in this article, I planned on introducing a bill to provide for tiebreaking when two or more candidates are tied in every round of an election. This turned out to be a bit more complex than I expected. Firstly, I noticed a few discrepancies between Sections 4.5 and 4.6 (for...

Part 1 - An Extraordinary Speaker Election So a few things recently have piqued my interest in analysing elections. The first thing was the proposed Judicial Elections amendment, which led me down the deep end looking at election theories. The second was the Speaker election, which turned from...
