Citizen and Friends of The North Pacific !
I thank you for your patience as I've assembled the new cabinet for the region. As I have said, I have looked for those that will be active, have experience and ability, and a willingness to be creative and inventive. It will be my policy, that should a cabinet member go inactive, I will not hesitate to seek out a replacement. We must keep our region actively functioning. We can't afford to fall back again into stagnation.
Before I present the cabinet, I want to say a few things about the state of affairs across NationStates. As many of you well know, we are on a continuing slide into greater and greater levels of inactivity. There are a few points of light across NS, where activity still continues, but those points are becoming fewer and farther between. Look at our sister feeder regions. How many of them are truely still active ? I've visited all the feeder forums and with the exception of The West Pacific, I am shocked at the emptiness out there.
I said when I declared my candidacy that I still beleive in TNP. And I truly do. We can still have an active community, and we can still be a player on the interregional stage. But.....time is running out. I don't think we can survive another summer slump, unless we take action to rejuevenate the region now. The Typhoon Struggle at the End of The World of NationStates is upon us. A final struggle against inactivity.
Old regions are dormant and dying. Small ineffectual regions sap the strength of community and activity in the NS world. The defender/invader dynamic no longer provides the means to generate interest, as it has become a sideline. Defenders are sparse, and invaders lose interest as they tackle only the easiest of targets. Thousands of nations die every month. Active nations have declined to a fraction of what it once was, and declines month by month. Feeder regions often stand silent, except for the endless RMB recruitment spam that everyone ignores. The NationStates Administrators have gone silent. We no longer hear from Max Berry, Salusa is silent. NationStates II is a dream unrealised.
What we still have, is what we have always had. The spirit and strength of community. NationStates is a collection of communities.
I hope that we can make the best of this opportunity, with a new Constitution and a new Government, to make something happen for all of us to enjoy. I'm not promising peace and prosperity. I'm saying that I will work to seek ways to help make this game something of interest. To make it interesting, and give reason for us to come here and enjoy ourselves. To give us purpose, so that we don't log off for the last time.
The old paths have run their course. We played those paths out, and now we need to seek new visions and new horizons. We need to seek to engage new players, and give good reason for experienced players to stay or to return.
I look forward to serving The North Pacific during this term of office. And without further delay, I present the Cabinet of The North Pacific.
Defense and Security: Dalimbar
Justice: New Kervoskia
Interregional Affairs: Vrtbovska Zahrada
Internal Affairs: Joshua
There will be additional appointments to sub-agencies as we proceed. Some of these appointments maybe controversial to some of you, and I realize that. But they meet the requirements that I set for the Cabinet, and understand what I hope to acheive here.
Finally, official titles for The Delegate and Cabinet members will be forthcoming.
Thank you for your support !
