The Minister's Office

Alright, everyone! Raft of appointments. Some of these will be subject to switching in the next few days as people get back to me and that sort of thing.

All appointments have been re-worked due to the lack of a paper trail documenting where exactly people were.

Myself: The Pacific, The League, The Free Nations Region
@Wymondham: Balder, The Rejected Realms, Greater Dienstad
@Cretox: The West Pacific, Stargate, Gay
@Fregerson: Europe, Spiritus
@Caius: Europeia, The Land of Kings and Emperors
@Gorundu: The South Pacific, The Union of Democratic States
@Treekidistan: Lazarus, Forest
@Lord Dominator: Augustin Alliance, Taijitu
@Chipoli: The Social Liberal Union, The Union of Fairer Nations
@Skaraborg: United Regions Alliance
@Vivanco: The East Pacific
@Owenstacey: Osiris
@TlomzKrano: International Democratic Union
@Rocketdog: Equilism
@Meretime Pazifis: Thaecia
@Yemet: One Big Island
@Ngai Ti Empire: United Kingdom
@Imperial Pieserged: The Hole To Hide In

At this time, all ambassadors should introduce themselves on the forums and/or Discords of their assigned regions.

Edit: Sorry for forgetting you, Pieserged!!

Hi Hulldom!


There seems to have been a mix up, unless I've received a new assignment. I'm quite sure I've only ever been assigned as The North Pacific's Ambassador to Canada instead of the United Kingdom. However, I'll be happy to be assigned as The North Pacific's Ambassador to both Canada and the United Kingdom. :)

There hasn’t been. The paper trail left behind meant it was easier to redistribute things. Hence your new assignment.

I’ll let you know on the other thing.
 
Would the Minister of Foreign Affairs care to explain why eight embassies have been closed without so much as a public announcement? Especially our on-site embassy with Canada?

I missed this. (Quite seriously, ping me, DM me, I’m pretty around. I don’t check the forums AS often.)

The embassies were closed following discussions that began at the beginning of the term with the Delegate. We agreed that given the lack of updates from these regions, and in a couple of cases unsuccessful contact (including Canada), that going forward with the closures was the best step.
 
Today, the North Pacific agreed to construct embassies with United Kingdom (NSUK), The League, and the Land of Kings and Emperors. These regions have a consistent track record of making regular embassy posts on our forum and continually engaging with The North Pacific, and we also recognize the different mutual interests, values, and allies that we share with each of these regions. We recognize the positive diplomatic outreach they have engaged in, and are happy to extend this outreach to our gameside community. We look forward to future positive engagement with these regions.

I’ll hopefully have a longer message for the midterm+some reorganization of the Ministry coming later this weekend, but for now, some simple Ambassadorial shuffling.

Due to @Rivierre losing citizenship,

I am appointing myself to Greater Dienstad.
@Kasch has been appointed to the Free Nations Region.
 
By way of a midterm address, I want to give a couple of updates regarding the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

First, following the announcement of Cretox’s removal as Minister of Defense, I am removing him forthwith as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and as Ambassador to Stargate and The West Pacific.

Second, we have a variety of Ambassadorial switchings to note: I will be removing myself from my position as Ambassador to The League with @Wymondham replacing me. I will be taking the roles of Ambassador to the West Pacific and Stargate.

On that same note, the Ministry is looking for interested individuals to staff several positions as we continue the search for a new Ambassador to United Kingdom (NSUK).

Finally, with Cretox’s departure, I’d like to welcome @Treekidistan back to the Deputy Minister team (he should take his oath ASAP). His focus will specifically be on staffing and personnel management with Wymondham shifting more fully into a role focused on strategy and policy.

Making a quick formal announcement here so it’s noted publicly, but the Delegate and I have chosen to remove the current crop of Senior Diplomats. This occurred abruptly due to a lack of responses from that group on a policy discussion I have now sent on to the wider diplomats. (Of note: (1) SD reform was on my agenda and still is and (2) I’m still looking for responses and Ambassadors should contribute!) I do believe I’ll be resurrecting this program in a different manner in the not too distant future, but just I wanted to make everyone aware of this because it came up on the Executive Staff Discord the other day.

Staffing updates!

@Fregerson has been reassigned to take over in The West Pacific and has vacated Europe and Spiritus.

@Owenstacey our erstwhile Ambassador to Osiris is the new Ambassador to Spiritus.

@Greater Cesnica is our new Ambassador to Europe.

@Comfed has been appointed to Greater Dienstad.

And because I noticed it while updating something behind the scenes, I am back as Ambassador to the Union of Fairer Nations due to Screm’s CTE.

More staffing updates.

On the traditional side of things, @Lord Dominator has been appointed to Lone Wolves United.

We’ll be trying a little something different in terms of being more proactive in outreach, sending informal emissaries and engaging in a degree of exchange as we develop toward forum embassies and beyond.

I could have a second appointment tomorrow (essentially just waiting on an answer), but I am appointing myself to the Order of the Grey Wardens.
 
Given the lack of responses, I have chosen to go ahead and announce the new set of Ambassadorial appointments for this term.

I am appointing myself to The Pacific, The West Pacific, the League, Stargate, Taijitu, and Equilism.
@Wymondham is additionally appointed to Balder, the Rejected Realms, United Regions Alliance, and Gay.
@Treekidistan is additionally appointed to the East Pacific, Lazarus, and United Kingdom.
@Great Robertia is additionally appointed to Spiritus, Augustin Alliance, Lone Wolves United, and the Hole to Hide In.
@Attempted Socialism is additionally appointed to the Union of Democratic States, the Land of Kings and Emperors, and the Social Liberal Union.
@Kasch has been appointed to the Free Nations Region.
@Comfed has been appointed to Greater Dienstad.

Noting this for the sake of convenience, but I will be on a Leave of Absence from this evening to Tuesday. I will be around during N-Day to help with diplo and will do my SC duties (endotarting and the report).

If you have any FA queries during this time, @Wymondham is the appointed duty officer, feel free to talk to @Pallaith as well. They can get in touch if anything urgent arises.
 
While obviously disappointing, I have accepted Daarywrth's resignation. I look forward to seeing what he does as Minister of Foreign Affairs in Forest and wish him all the best in that role.

The replacement appointments will be:
Myself to TSP
@Wymondham to LWU and the AA
@Attempted Socialism to Spiritus
and @Treekidistan to the Hole to Hide In
 
Our embassy with United Kingdom (also known as NSUK) has been closed effective immediately due to concerns around their OOC administration practices and their hosting of a widely banned player.

I will note that these are dates where discussions were held with officials - primarily heads of government, foreign affairs or military officials - but that can be anything from single question and answer discussions to in-depth talks. As well as these engagements, two group chats with The South Pacific and The League/The Grey Wardens have been taking place directly about the extortion incident involving myself, the delegate and advisors. Talks on the incident with 10000 Islands were handled bilaterally between myself and their representative.
