Regional Reports

November 11th, 2005

Report: Both as a result of the Thanksgiving holidays and the forum troubles involving the Private Messaging system, mission activity has been a little lighter than normal. However, the NPA did participate in the attempted liberation of United National Capitalists, the defense of one of the “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” regions, and assisted our friends in The New Meritocracy in taking the region Warzone Asia. The operation was quick and a suprise, and a testament to the ability of both forces to coordinate effectively. Last night, in another efficient move, the combined forces changed Delegates from The Meritocratic Isle's Goobledegookistakistan to our very own Da Mongoose.

In preparation for the likely forum move, the Minister has backed up the important Military threads. The NPA is always seeking new members, and we will keep you active.

[*]Elections are [i]almost[/i] over.  The Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs must go through a run off election, since neither candidate recieved a 50%+1 majority of votes.  For Prime Minister, the two candidates in the run off are Flemingovia and Poltsamaa.  For the Minister of External Affairs position, the candidates are Haor Chall and Koona.  Namyeknom, the candidate for Minister of Culture and Education, had to unfortunately leave NS and TNP for the time being due to RL issues, so the next Prime Minister will appoint a nation for that spot.

[*]TNP's [URL=http://s13.invisionfree.com/TNP/index.php?showtopic=281]Campaign Against Spam[/URL] continues, as nations are warned for ads in the regional messageboard that exceed 15 lines.  Nations warned three times will be subject to a ban from the region.  This is just part of an effort to reclaim TNP's regional message board.
[*]The Superbowl in the United States came to TNP as nations discussed who they were supporting in the big game.  Tresville and Erastide had a [URL=http://s13.invisionfree.com/TNP/index.php?showtopic=639]bet[/URL] going.  If the Steelers won, Tresville would be named "Founder" of the region in the WFE for a week.  If the Seahawks won, Tresville would have to have an invader flag for a week.  Also, Tresville and Hersfold bet that if the Steelers won, Tresville's avatar would be the forum banner for awhile, but if the Seahawks won Tresville would have an "I Love Invaders" signature.  Needless to say, Tresville won both and became founder of the region and had his avatar in the banner of the forum.

Well it's nothing much compared to the other ones, but I hope to do these fairly short reports every week now.  NOTE: The elected officials were hard to determine for those in a runoff election.  I just put the incumbent official, but I could not find an incumbent  for the MoEA, so that says pending.  In case anyone wanted an explanation  :eyeroll: 

Oh, and I don't see why diplomats can't post this in their respective foreign embassies if they so desire since we currently have no MoEA.

------------------------

Recent Events

• Elections are almost over.  The Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs must go through a run off election, since neither candidate recieved a 50%+1 majority of votes.  For Prime Minister, the two candidates in the run off are Flemingovia and Poltsamaa.  For the Minister of External Affairs position, the candidates are Haor Chall and Koona.  Namyeknom, the candidate for Minister of Culture and Education, had to unfortunately leave NS and TNP for the time being due to RL issues, so the next Prime Minister will appoint a nation for that spot. 
  
  
• Bank of The North Pacific, and new type of gameplay on the forum where nations recieve TNP dollars for each post they make, and these dollars can then be traded among players in the region for items ranging from flag designs to puppet nations.  Though still in "Beta" testing, this system has a lot of potential.
  
  
• TNP's Campaign Against Spam continues, as nations are warned for ads in the regional messageboard that exceed 15 lines.  Nations warned three times will be subject to a ban from the region.  This is just part of an effort to reclaim TNP's regional message board.
  
  
• The Superbowl in the United States came to TNP as nations discussed who they were supporting in the big game.  Tresville and Erastide had a bet going.  If the Steelers won, Tresville would be named "Founder" of the region in the WFE for a week.  If the Seahawks won, Tresville would have to have an invader flag for a week.  Also, Tresville and Hersfold bet that if the Steelers won, Tresville's avatar would be the forum banner for awhile, but if the Seahawks won Tresville would have an "I Love Invaders" signature.  Needless to say, Tresville won both and became founder of the region and had his avatar in the banner of the forum.
  
  

Regional Assembly Discussions

• RA Merger/Repeal - Should the registered voters and the regional assembly be combined, with one of the two being repealed?  Are they both really needed?  Now in the formal discussion phase, proposed by Hersfold.
  
  
  
• Delegate Security Act - A nation exceeds the endorsments of the Vice-Delegate.  Twenty-four hours pass and the Security Council does not act.  Should the delegate have the right to eject that person for regional security?
  
  
  
• Term Limits - Resuming the discussion of reforming the limititations for terms held by cabinet members after the last bill was defeated. 
  
  
  
• Statute of Limitation - Should deadlines be set for filing civil or criminal claims?
  
  

Popular OOC Threads

• Where Am I? - Greece?  Monoco?  Thimphu???  Guess here and travel the world!
  
  
  
• Cybernations - TNP members get involved with the popular new online game that is similar to Nationstates.
  
  
  
• Who Will Post Next? - A classic game of spam on its fourth round here at the new forum.
  
  
  
• Deal or No Deal - A game run by Puckton based on the popular television series.

The Government

The Prime Minister's Office

The Prime Minister started the term on a high note, by outlining what he planned to achieve over the course of the term. Since then the Prime Minister has:

• Presided over the nomination and election of a Minister of Defence, following problems with NPA endorsements of candidates.
  
  
• Appointed and served on a commission tasked with planning and legislating for The North Pacific University. The commission has reported its findings, presented legislation, both of which has been well received within the RA. Link
  
  
• Created and contributed to a commission investigating the future of several ministries of The North Pacific, with regards to the possible merging or dissolution of them. This commission has also reported its recommendations, and proposed legislation. Link
  
  
  
• Assumed sponsorship of the previous cabinets constitutional amendment to alter the RA membership oath, seeing it through to its eventual passing into the statute.
  
  
• Called for legal clarification on constitutional matters, regarding the Oath of Office, resulting in its proper application to members of the Diplomatic Corp. Link
  
  
• Following the departure of Byardkuria as Chief Justice, nominated Democratic Donkeys and Poltsamaa to serve as Chief Justice and Associate Justice respectively.
  
  
• Served for a time as Interim Speaker of the Regional Assembly will the Speaker was on a planned absence.
  
  

On a personal note, the Prime Minister also celebrated 2 years in NationStates and The North Pacific during this term, and hosted a special anniversary party of some grandeur.

The Ministry of Immigration and Internal Affairs

The Ministry of Immigration and Internal Affairs faced a challenging time in the first part of this term. Following the fallout of the previous Ministers term, a suspension had been placed on new RA members, and legislation was passed that altered the RA oath. So far this term, the Minister of Immigration and Internal Affairs has:

• Dealt with the implementation of new legislation, which required current RA members to sign a new membership oath. Link
  
  
• Completed an audit of the RA members recorded at the start of the term, with regards to removing those members who had become ineligible, and to deal with those that failed to sign the new oath. Link
  
  
• Expediently dealt with the back log of RA applications that had built up since the suspension on new members had been implemented during the previous term. Link
  
  
• Continued to deal with RA application in a prompt manner.
  
  

Ministry of External Affairs

The Ministry of External Affairs is always busy at the start of a governmental term, as ambassadors and consuls often move on to other things at this time. During the past 3 months, the Minister has:

• Implemented and concluded an audit of current Diplomatic Corp members, confirming assignments, and replacing those members who have left.
  
  
• Been involved in on going discussions with his opposite in The West Pacific, culminating in a proposed treaty between our great regions, the first of its kind for over a year. Link
  
  
• Provided consulates for Taijitu, the Equilism GiE (until the re-unification), Americana and Lone Wolves United. Link
  

Ministry of Defence

The Ministry of Defence and the NPA has continued to enjoy a high level of activity, with ongoing missions and training occurring consistently though out the term. This continued refinement of the NPA as a defensive force culminated in Romanoffia being presented the New Sea Land Medal of Gallantry (the first non-NSL resident to receive it) for his and the NPA's exceptional service during the defence of New Sea Land (Link).

Ministry of Justice

Much of the Ministry of Justice's efforts have been directed to the on going "TNP vs Fulhead" (Link) indictment. The Ministry has also dealt with petitions for Judicial Reviews, concerning the Oath of Office, and its applications (Link). Unfortunately this term may be remembered as the one in which Byardkuria resigned as Chief Justice, after a full year of dedication to the task, to pursue other projects within the region.

Ministry of Culture and Education

The Ministry of Culture and Education's work has been stalled somewhat while waiting for the Ministry Study Commission's report. The Minister however has served on both the Ministry Study Commission, and the TNP University Commission in an ex oficio capacity.

Ministry of Arts and Entertainment

As with the MoCE, much of the work of the Ministry of Arts and Entertainment has been overshadowed by the Ministry Study Commission. The forums OOC section has remained vibrant and active, in no small part due to the time and effort of the Minister and deputy Minister.

Ministry of Communication

A difficult time has been had at the Ministry of Communication, with the Ministry Study Commission overshadowing any long term plans, the loss of the Deputy Minister, and the unavoidable access problems of the Minister.

The Nations of The North Pacific

This term has seen a range of discussions, from the serious to the silly, in topics discussing everything from NS game mechanics to small hamlets in Austria. Individuals within The North Pacific have been considering the cosmos, discussing the rise of internet encyclopaedias, and occasionally jetting off to sunny skies and sandy shores. All the while, the OOC continues at a relentless pace, proud of its status as one of the most active and high quality in the NS world.
