This manifesto is an admission that the grand experiments of feeder politics have largely failed. The Judicial wing of TNP has never worked, the legislative wing is moribund. I propose a complete … overhaul? Abandonment? Of that aspect of the game.
It is a return, in a way, to the wild west days before we had a constitution. So no constitution, no bill or rights, no new charters or other schizzle.
First, I will not appoint any government at all. That’s right. It doesn’t work, so why pretend? All it does is lead to dissatisfaction.
This is an admission that the offsite political sim that is Nationstates has ended, as far as TNP is concerned. There are other regions still playing that game. We can go and legislate there if that rocks our boat.
Second, The RA, with the office of Speaker, will remain as present, but the sole purpose will be to vote in elections (for which see below)
Third, Trials are silly. We won’t have them. Administrators will police the forum, and the delegate will police the region. If the delegate coups, we fight them. If the admins get draconian we move forums – that is all the checks and balances we need, really.
Fourth, I will serve as delegate for the allotted term, plus any transition. I will not coup. I will not grief the region. I will not go on a banning spree. Anyone who knows me at all knows that these promises would be a cast iron fact. I would take opinions on the RA issues, and vote accordingly. I would ban only as a last resort, and grudgingly (during my last term I did not ban at all. I am quite proud of that). Once the forum votes in a new delegate, I will move aside.
Finally, The focus of TNP would change back to where it used to be most effective – fun and OOC games. We wil restructure the forum to make these things prominent. Most of you will not remember, but once we had the best and most active OOC area in Nationstates. We were famous for it. Largely we got distracted by governance and turmoil. It’s the end of the world as we knew it. Time to party, methinks.
