The Last Week to 14 days in Short
The past few weeks have been interesting on the forums. President Pepe (MMS States) resigned in spectacular fashion after he got Brock Lesnar and Keventle to beat him up*. A plan was discovered to take command over the whole government by a single party and a bank. Luckily, we have (somewhat) gone past this very quick and are sorta on track.
Zach21GF, vice-president under President Pepe, took command of the executive. He has lead our region until new elections would take place. President Pepe returned into the executive as the new vice-president.
New Government Elected
The Allied States have elected a new President for the May-June period. The candidates were Zach21GF/CDland against Pletamia/Wildeboden. In total 14 citizens have voted in the current presidential elections and the outcome was a landslide.
Zach21GF/CDland - 11 votes
Pletamia/Wildeboden - 3 votes
The Platform of Zach had 3 major spearpoints:
1. Joint Congressional Committees
Legislation introduced in either house would first go to the committee to be studied. Basically what we want to do is build people's expertise in certain subject matters and give them responsibility over those matters. By serving on one of these committees, we'd encourage more debate and encourage people to become experts on certain aspects of AS. This would also help in the transition to a semi-presidential system because members of Congress will have more executive experience.
2. Strong Defence
We wish to create a joint military with some of our closest allies to defend the interests of the Allied States and her allies in the best possible way. We would reach out to The Allied Republics and perhaps The Pacifican Union if they have any interest. For too long our military has been at a unacceptable point, we wish to change this and by that prepare the Allied States for any threats she might face in the future.
3. A greener tomorrow.
We recognize that we have to act in regards to the enviroment, but at the same time we realize that the economy must be able to follow these changes. That is why we want to take join hands with the businesses instead of fighting them. We believe that we can create a better results by making incentives rather than regulations at this point. If we make regulations some will try to bypass them, if we make incentives they have no reason to bypass. We can make progress by implementing market oriented solutions to social and environmental problems.
We wish president Zach and vice-president CDland all the best of luck!
Transition to a Semi-Presidential System (Parliamentary System)
The plan to take over major positions in government by Keventle and CDland, exposed a weak spot in our systems. A proposal has been made to change our government system, the "Constitutional Amendment of Article IV". This seperates the NS delegate duties from the political offsite forum and roleplay government.
What it essentially does is creating a cerimonial president who will take command over the NS region and a political Prime Minister who will lead government and propose bills to the senate/house of representatives.
The president shall have the following tasks: Be WA Delegate, protect the region, create polls, send out mass telegrams every week (made by the DoC) and he may also send out his own mass telegrams if he has something important to announce/or something he believes is important. While the Prime Minister shall decide where we will go politically with the Allied States, our foreign policy, domestic policies, organisations, events, etc.
Creating 2 seperate offices with both essential, yet totally different, tasks may help our region establish a more firmly and more secure place with hopefully the same or even more activity then we have now.
