The Taijitu Regional Report

Taijitu

Regional Report for 16th January 2007.
Delegate: Sovereign Dixie
Member Nations: 318

Greetings from Taijitu; Nationstates' Fastest Growing Region - Over 300 Nations in 11 Days.

Introduction

Hello to those with Embassies/Consulates with us, the newly formed region of Taijitu. I'm sure you're wondering several things about us...

1. Who are we? - Taijitu is a new region set up by a group of Founders; set up to uphold the ideals of democracy, friendship and fun.

2. What are our links with The Lexicon? - As those of you who know our history will know, the Founders of the Region of Taijitu were the members of the last democratic Govenment of The Lexicon. We are not enemies of The Lexicon and Taijitu does not endorse attacks upon them over the circumstances of our founding.

3. Who's in Charge? - For the time being, the Region is being driven, for the interim period at least (Though he has been nominated for re-election), by, the very capable, Sovereign Dixie. The Current Government Ministries are held by, The G Rebellion (External Affairs), Myroria (Internal Affairs), Pragmia (Community), Eluvatar (Intelligence/Regional Security) and Amy/The Crazy Monkeymen (Defense). The current Vice Delegate is The G Rebellion.

4. What are our goals? - To create a truly great region. One that our members are proud to be a part of. We are not going to be just a region, rather, a community of friends.

The Big Events in The Past Week

The Constitution of Taijitu was signed by all interim citizens of Taijitu and, as the Constitution states, Ex-Senators of The Lexicon became the first opening members of the Taijitu Senate.

Nominations for the two big elections began: The Delegacy nominations are off to a good start with at least two candidates already nominated! The Speaker of the Senate Nominations are also going well.

Real Life Discussions have been hitting some challenging topics!

We've hit 300 nations. This is a great testament to the recruitment efforts of members of this region and I am so very proud to be a part of it!

The Taijitu Wikipedia has been opened and several articles are developing well. Particular articles of note include the page of the user "Myroria" and the "External Affairs" page which have both developed very well.

We have opened 6 embassies, with procedures underway for another few already!

Statement by HC of EA

Hello there to you all! I am writing this knowing that in a few days, the section cheering our recruiting efforts will need to grow as we hit 400, then 500 and onwards! I have no doubt that our embassy numbers will grow and alliances will be formed. I know this region will be a success in the future because it's a success now. The great nations of the region have, in 11 days, created a region that I am proud to call my home now, and will be in the future.

Things have set up incredibly. Sovereign Dixie has been a great motivator and has been setting an example that I couldn't have hoped to have set in terms of recruitment, attitude and even foreign affairs. He has done more in his interim than many delegates accomplish in whole terms. I've been proud to serve with him, and every member of the interim Government in this short period.

This regional report is written in the interim period. The next one you receive will be by the holder of the External Affairs position after the elections. I hope to see Taijitu and other regions grow closer under whoever is holding the office and I have no doubt, we can be that great region that we all see in our potential!

(Note - Slightly modest... )

Thank you for reading our first regional report!

The Taijitu Regional Report

Taijitu

Regional Report for April 2007.
Delegate: The Crazy Monkeywomen
Member Nations: 1116

Greetings from Taijitu; Nationstates' Fastest Growing Region - Over 1100 nations.

Introduction

Hello from Taijitu! Apologies to you all for not releasing a report sooner but the wait is finally over - I've written one. A lot has happened since our last report and there's even more breaking news around the corner as we move into our next set of delegacy elections.

Early Election News

Though nominations have only been opened a short while, there have been four nominations. So far, all candidates have accepted their nominations and there are only a few more days left till nominations close. 

The Big Events

Taijitu has rocketed in size since last report - even though back then we were growing incredibly - and we have breached the landmark number of 1100 nations. This is an achievement that could only be achieved through the hard work of our recruiters who have put in a lot of hard hours.

The Senate has inducted a lot of new members and have passed a large number of acts improving the constitution, including the creation of a Taijitu bank.

The External Affairs office has grown and now contains 14 embassies and 6 of those regions have full time ambassadors. The rest are still being served by the Minister of External Affairs.

Role Play, a section that has grown rapidly to match the region, has expanded into two sections; regular and futuristic role play.

Taijitu's army is coming along well, with new Minister Ryazania spearheading the effort to get them onto the Nationstate's battlefield.

Conclusion

So that's it for another report. Hopefully next time I write to you all it will be to report more great achievements and also, hopefully you won't have to wait so long the next time.

The Taijitu Regional Report

Taijitu

Regional Report for May 2007.
Delegate: The G Rebellion
Member Nations: 1300

Greetings from Taijitu; Nationstates' Greatest Founder Region - Over 1300 nations.

Introduction

Hello from Taijitu! Important developments since the last Regional Report with the new elected Delegate, The G Rebellion, having formed his cabinet, a continuous growth of the Region and a solid development of the forum activity.

Election News

The run for the delegate position saw, for the first time, four candidates lining up for the campaign. With a drop-out of one of them, during voting-time, the long-debated Condorcet system proved its effectiveness. The elections have been won by the tandem TGR (Delegate) – PoD Gunner (Vice-Delegate) by a rather comfortable margin. The votes were counted and the results were announced on the 1st of May, while the new TGR Cabinet was announced 10 days later, as follows:

Minister of Internal Affairs - Pragmia
Minister of External Affairs – PoD Gunner
Minister of Regional Security - Eluvatar
Minister of Community and Recruitment - TCM
Minister of Defense - Sovereign Dixie
and, the newly formed position of
Minister of Finance – Solnath.

Senate Activity:

Since the last report, the Senate of Taijitu has been fairly active, having four amendments moved to the Senate Floor for voting. Out of these, three were Constitutional Amendments and one was an amendment to the Primary Laws of Taijitu. The Constitutional Amendments, aptly labelled S11, S12 and S13, all passed clearly and the PLoT-amendment was passed unanimously.

Xyrael and Myroria were both placed under a vote of removal from the offices of Senator and Minister of Internal Affairs, the former's ending unanimously in favour and the latter's similarly against. To balance this loss of Xyrael in the Senate, three (out of three) applicants, Solnath, of crazed and carraterra, passed the vicious scrutiny of the Senate to become new Senators, the first two unanimously with 17 and 16 votes in favour and carraterra with 9 for and 5 against.

Currently, the Senate is voting for the application of Algerianbania and the office removal votes of Gallipoli-China, Acle and Bustos, due to their absences from previous votes.
Of those proposals that did not make it to the Senate Floor, Cartwrightia's   
S75361a Removal of Bureaucracy stood out well as a remarkable example of legislative experience. Unfortunately, the subtle finesse presented within was not enough to move it to a vote.
New citizens are applying to become part of the Legislative of Taijitu and are preparing for a tough ride through the Furculae Caudinae of Senate Questioning. Fierce debates regarding new amendments, both to Fundamental and Simple Laws are keeping all Senators awake, while the new air-conditioning system denies elder-Senators the usual 'it was so hot inside' excuse for falling asleep during sessions.

The Senate Roster now contains 28 members.

The External Affairs are a chapter Taijitu is planning to continuously expand. A few new exchanges are discussed, and the Diplomatic Corps has been strengthened through the addition of diplomatic young-blood who are representing our region in The Pacific, Canada, The Red Sox Nation and Lichentia.

Taijitu's army is being consolidated, as the new Minister (SDixie) intends to increase its involvement on the NS battlefields.

Role Play

Alliances are being formed left and right (and middle J) to reflect the increasing international tensions.
Sovereign Dixie has just seceded from the Democratic States of America.
The Mercantilist state of Ginto is in negotiations with Varkour over a common border.
The Mercantilist Company, Easteros, battles with Ozian pirates, leaving some of Mercantilist State’s forts destroyed.
Civil unrest and warlord rule continues in Irnotia and Rataka. Irnotia’s Gladiator games continue.
The Taijitu Map, made and updated by our wonderful cartographer, St Oz, is getting larger and looking better than ever.


Conclusion

A very busy month is drawing to an end. Taijitu hasn't slowed down its growth and that because of the important efforts of our recruitment team. Looking to strengthen its position in the NS world, Taijitu remains a region where friends from all-around the globe can sit together and enjoy the company. Where the sun meets the moon, the horizon is melting in the sea, where British rigorousness, American strength, Asian dedication, European insight and Latin passion join together to die for our friends and toast to the death of our enemies. It's there were you'll find the harmony and the balance. It's there where Taijitu is.
