Government Updates
 ​

Regional Assembly
Elections: Elections for Delegate, Vice Delegate, Speaker of the Regional Assembly, and Council of Lower Officers were held, resulting in the election of Sydia as new Vice Delegate, Eluvatar as new Speaker, and new CLO members FALKONCATS, Falconias, and Namyeknom.

Neither Flemingovia or Tresville garnered enough votes to constitutionally be elected Delegate, so a run-off appears imminent.

Discussions:
- Several Discussions were/are being held on the Actions/Powers of the Speaker of the Assembly. Most prominent is a proposed Ban on the Speaker Lobbying RA Members in support of a particular Vote.
- An Amendment Proposal preventing preferential appointments based on Influence was discussed.
- A New Election Code was proposed.

Votes:
- Two different Electoral Reform Laws were voted on and rejected.
- The RA passed an Amendment establishing a Security Council of High Influence Nations after a drawn out legislative and judicial battle.
- An Amendment establishing a procedure for Impeaching government officials was passed.
- Minor Corrections were made to the wording of the Bill of Rights, and the wording of the Article on Treaty Approval was slightly modified.

I guess we should send this to our embassies. :D
 
I thoguht I got AWP? :unsure:

Besides, shouldn't we wait until we have an official acting EA Minister with an official update? :blink: :ADN:
 
Outer Kharkistania:
No. I'm tired of waiting for activity. Its time to grab the region and throttle it out of its current coma.

I agree with this sentiment. And contrary to popular belief, it has always been that way (even back in the "Golden Age of NS").

Five years ago when I ran the region's diplomatic corps and brought the regional update concept to our sunny shores, I wrote the thing myself, posted it for a quick perusal by the locals (a day or two) and personally delivered the thing to our various embassies. It took about 20 minutes of effort a week, start to finish. Easy.

When we decided to let our various ambassadors deliver the updates it started to fall apart a bit. You see, even then, the majority of people in this game liked holding a fancy title but didn't like doing the work associated with it.

The only way anything actually gets done in this game, now as then, is for a group of committed and dedicated players to take the onus upon themselves and just do it. And you can do it democratically, with involvement from the region.

If you do stuff and keep people in the loop, let them have a little input, they feel involved and part of the greater community. If you balance this by keeping things moving (to which our Grosse-ian era regulations are antithetical), then you get a more dynamic, interesting game.

I could go on, but I probably lost half of you three paragraphs ago. :D
 
I commend your effort Kharkistania! Its about time people to activity into their own hands rather than sitting round and expecting others to do the work!
