The North Pacific Update
20 December, 2007
UN Delegate: The Salty Dogs of Great Bights Mum
Regional Power: Extremely High
The North Pacific contains 3,680 nations.
The North Pacific Regional Assembly
Activity has been stirring in the RA, with voting underway to enable elections in light of the new Constitution. Some of the issues currently under disscusion include:
- A proposal to allow the RA a 60% supermajority vote to block the UN Delegate's Cabinet apointments.
- A proposal to set an election schedule under the new Constitution.
- A proposed proxy server usage law.
- A proposal to set policies and procedures for RA registration and membership.
- A proposal to remove the Sedition clause from the Legal Code.
- A proposal to empower RA members to call for expulsion of a TNP member.
The RA is also discussing which Cabinet positions the regions needs, with Defense, External Affairs, Internal Affairs, and Justice being the primary areas being considered.
Elections
Outer Kharkistania has been appointed as Election Commisioner by the Delegate, and the legislation concurrently under vote also appoints him to this same post.
Nominations and Campaigns have begun in the region, with the follow candidates having announced thus far:
For UN Delegate:
Lewis and Clark
Galapagos Isle
John Ashcroft Land
For Speaker of the Regional Assembly:
Grosseschnauzer
Poltsamaa
For the Council of Lower Officers (aka CLO - there are Three positions available):
Mr Sniffles
Apollo-Industria
FALCONKATS
Joshua
Romanoffia
There appear to be some.....additional candidacies:
"I nominate myself for ELO." - New Kervoskia
"I nominate myself for Supreme Rocker." - Rocketman
Both of their candidacies have been seconded.
General Announcements
TNP Administrators are hard at work implimenting some of the changes needed in light of the new Constitution. So if things seem a bit different, or your favorite forum seems to have moved of it's own volition, don't worry.
Renovations and reorganization are expected to continue until the new government has been formed and organized.
The UN Delegate
As the first executive act of the UN Delegate under the new Constitution, Great Bights Mum created the office of Secretary of State. The new office has been assigned these tasks:
TGing the entire region
Continuing TG campaigns to new nations
NPA Recruitment
Welcoming new members to the forum
Channeling new members into positions suiting their interests
Taking ownership of the RMB
Coordinatng activities with the Delegate, the MIIA (or whatever that will be called), the NPA, the Speaker of the RA, the TNPU Chancellor, and any special events director on an ad hoc basis.
HEM volunteered and was accepted for the postion. Join us in congratulating Secretary of State HEM, and thanking him for his dedication to TNP. He has already begun the establishment of a committee to work on accomplishing these tasks, with several having signed up already.
- UN Resolutions
Few votes were cast for recent UN Resolutions, and one even resulted in a tie vote. The Delegate voted as noted:
Fairness and Equalty Act
2- 2-1
- Repeal "End Slavery"
2 -1
Ministry of External Affairs
The MoEA has made new Ambassadorial assignments and efforts are underway to clean out the dust in our Embassies across NationStates. Ambassadors have been advised to be catious during the clean up, and avoid contact with anything....unseemly.
A new Embassy was opened with Lone Wolves United, and a request has been made to open an Embassy with 000 A world power.
Ministry of Immigration and Internal Affairs
The MoIIA cleared ShaKHaA for Regional Assembly membership, while requesting additional information from other pending applicants.
The region welcomes the return of Kumiko, however her attempt to claim the Ministership was dashed by Flem, who suggested she attempt to 'muscle in' one of the vacant Ministries.
