Mid-term review

The Mid-term review article. Let me know if you have any changes.

---

This term has been filled with exciting changes, fun events, funny quotes, and a lot of work. Here is a report from each ministry:

Home Affairs: The Ministry of Home Affairs has done excellent work this term, with 1,009 completed rows so far. This equates to a staggering 8,072 nations contacted. Additionally, the press release and forum mentoring programs have been restarted, making it easier than ever to get information and help from the government. 10 new gameside advocates were appointed, keeping The North Pacific's RMB a safer place than ever. We look forward to continued success in the latter half of the term.

Defense: Under General Zazumo, the Ministry of Defense has maintained considerable activity but little diversity in operations, almost all operations conducted being detags with the exclusion of a raid and hold on Warzone Africa. Despite this the NPA has displayed attentiveness to important operations with other regions, including aiding Wabbitslayah's delegacy transition in the Rejected Realms and aiding Stargate in the event of a petty raid on the region with several NPA puppets. Furthermore, with the passing of the WFE/Flag Removal Change allowing Defense to conduct tag operations, diversity in operations may increase in the future. The raid on Warzone Africa displayed that the NPA's pile numbers currently hover around a reasonable 16 nations.

Culture: Culture, under Minister McMasterdonia, has functioned incredibly admirably so far in this term. Multiple issues of the Eras Magazine have been published, and McMasterdonia's aptitude for ideas has given rise to "Theme Thursdays", where every Thursday a new theme is chosen on TNP's discord server, including Progressive Theme Thursday and Aussie Theme Thursday. These have been met with great involvement from TNP's community in the events. The North Pacific University is also continuing development in this term.

Communications: Communications, under experienced Minister Brendog, has done an astonishing job this term. Two issues of TNL have been published in a timely manner, and the ministry has been successful at fostering new ideas for articles, in addition to helping new writers out.

World Assembly Affairs: The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, under minister Pallaith, has drafted 6 recommendations for various proposals. The ministry has additionally had many in-depth discussions and debates on various in-queue proposals and forum drafts. We look forward to many more recommendations from the Ministry.

Foreign Affairs: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under minister Plembobria, has been successful at maintaining our alliances and embassies with other regions. In addition, a non-aggression pact is under discussion which would establish friendly relations with The Rejected Realms. When passed, it will represent a major step forward for peace and stability between all the GCRs.

I expanded on some parts of this. It may still need some editing, but I wanted to at least get more ideas on paper:

This term has been filled with exciting changes, fun events, funny quotes, and a lot of work. Here is a report from each ministry:

Home Affairs: The Ministry of Home Affairs has been hard at work informing nations of the opportunities available to them in TNP and providing the necessary assistance to new nations still learning the ropes. They have reached out to over 8,000 nations through manual telegram efforts and over 100 new members of our regional forum through the newly revived forum mentoring program. Additionally, the ministry has restarted the Press Release program in an effort to provide nations with frequent updates from the executive government. With the revival of these neglected programs and maintenance of the existing ministry functions, it is easier than ever to get information and help from the government.

Home Affairs has also undergone an expansion of its Gameside Advocate program. The eight newly appointed gameside advocates have been working to help keep The North Pacific's Regional Message Board (RMB) a safe and welcoming environment through enforcing rules and providing assistance to players seeking help. The Gameside Advocates have just completed their first season of The North Pacific RMB Trivia which engaged the RMB in a friendly competition regaring TNP history. Additionally, they have run a regional survey to gather nation feedback on various government programs in an effort to enhance these program. We look forward to continued success of this program in the latter half of the term.

Foreign Affairs: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under minister Plembobria, has been working to maintain activity in all of our embassies regions. In addition, the minister has been working to formalize existing relationship as well as develop new alliances. A proposed non-aggression pact between The Rejected Realms and The North Pacific is currently at vote in our Regional Assembly. This proposed treaty has been met with a plethora of positive feedback from both communities and will hopefully open the door to further collaborations between our regions as we work to strengthen this relationship.

Defense: Under General Zazumo, the Ministry of Defense has maintained considerable activity but little diversity in operations, almost all operations conducted being detags with the exclusion of a raid and hold on Warzone Africa. Despite this, the North Pacific Army (NPA) has displayed attentiveness to important operations with other regions, including aiding Wabbitslayah's delegacy transition in the Rejected Realms and aiding Stargate in the event of a petty raid on the region with several NPA puppets. Furthermore, with the passing of the WFE/Flag Removal Change allowing Defense to conduct tag operations, diversity in operations may increase in the future. The raid on Warzone Africa displayed that the NPA's pile numbers currently hover around a reasonable 16 nations.

Culture: Culture, under Minister McMasterdonia, has functioned incredibly admirably so far in this term. The ministry's greatest success this term involved organizing and executing the The North Pacific-Greater Dienstad Roleplay and Cultural Exchange - a Roleplay-centered interregional event which was met with a tremendous amount of participation from both The North Pacific and Greater Dienstad communities. The ministry has also published multiple issues of the Eras Magazine to highlight our regional forum RP community and all of their acomplishments. Additionally, McMasterdonia's aptitude for ideas has given rise to "Theme Thursdays", where every Thursday a new theme is chosen on TNP's Discord server, including Progressive Theme Thursday and Aussie Theme Thursday. These have been met with great involvement from TNP's community in the events. Besides the traditional ministry functions, The North Pacific University is also continuing to development this term under the newly appointed chancellor with a number of new lectures and other educational pieces.

World Assembly Affairs: The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, under minister Pallaith, has maintained their committed to providing to nations in TNP with some insight into proposals currently at vote. The ministry has drafted a number of recommendations for the various proposals that the General Assembly and Security Council have recently voted on. The ministry has additionally fostered many in-depth discussions and debates on various in-queue proposals and forum drafts both among our regional community and our allies in the World Assembly Legislative League. We look forward to many more quality recommendations from the Ministry in the second half of the term.

Communications: Communications, under experienced Minister Brendog, has done an astonishing job this term. the ministry has been successful at fostering new ideas for articles, in addition to helping new writers bring their ideas to life. Two issues of The Northern Lights (TNL) have already been published r and more are in the works for this term. In addition to TNL, the ministry is also working to keep our radio station, the Northern Broadcasting Service, alive. The station has had one broadcast so far this term and we hope to see more activity from this area of the ministry in the near future.
