Defining the Relationship Between the Government of The North Pacific
and
The North Pacific University


1. The Importance of Education in the Region:

In service to a community it has always been right and vital that a place of knowledge and intellectual pursuit be maintained so that ideas, culture, and camaraderie among citizens and other friends of the region can thrive and develop solutions that help the greater community and world. The Executive Council of The North Pacific acknowledges this and desires that a dignified and fair relationship be forged between the institutions of learning and the institutions of government so that together their missions may be more rightly accomplished. Here forth shall that relationship be drafted so that together government and university may flourish and serve the people under their responsibility.

2. Freedoms of the University and the Academia:

2.1 It is understood that the University must be able to govern itself according to its own rules and traditions for those that can manage the academic pursuit are academics themselves who understand both process and quality of material.

2.2 The North Pacific University shall remain self governing under the charters and documents it ratifies in order to accomplish this. Its limits shall be set by the laws of the region. No document or protocol of any sort may contradict a statute of law in the region since the positive law that has been instituted through legal process holds precedent over any protocol of the university. The second article of the Bill of Rights is duly remembered:

“Each Nation's rights to free speech, free press, and the free expression of religion shall not be infringed, and
shall be encouraged, by the governmental authorities of the region. Each Nation has the right to assemble, and
to petition the governmental authorities of the region, including the WA Delegate, for the redress of grievances.
The governmental authorities of the region shall act only in the best interests of the Region, as permitted and
limited under the Constitution.”


2.3 The university as an organized body with the means of self government is duly protected by this clause to make public the fruits of study, academic discourse, and the discussion of a variety of subjects.

2.4 The government though an overseer by no way shall infringe on this pursuit and entrusts the managing of content to the university itself. Through the university the government duly fulfills its calling to “encourage” expression of ideas.

3. Responsibilities of the University and the Academia:

3.1 Even with the significant degree of autonomy, the university stands as a representation of the government and its overarching mission to serve and give order to the region of The North Pacific. There is a mutuality of this relationship for as the government respects and promotes the university, the university must also work with and be in dialogue with the needs of the government.

3.2 As a representation of the region, the university must be responsible and maintain a level of accountability to the people of the region through the government. It does not exist for its own sake but to serve the people just as the government must.

3.3: The University Executive

3.3.1 The University Executive shall consist of the Chancellor and other senior executives established in the University Charter.

3.3.2 The University Executive (excluding the Chancellor) is responsible for the nomination of a Chancellor. This nomination shall be submitted to the Delegate who then may confirm or reject the nomination after discussion with the university’s governing body.
3.3.3 The term of the Chancellor shall run parallel to the delegate’s term, but his or her office is not vacated until a confirmation from the delegate has been reached.

3.3.4 Frequent meetings between university leadership and the delegate or a representative therein are encouraged so that the dialogue between these two mutual bodies may never crumble.

3.4 The Chancellor

3.4.1 The Chancellor in his or her duties must maintain a university system that is respectful both internally and externally. The respect and prestige of the body is dependent upon the quality of the content and conduct of academics within the university.

3.4.2 The Chancellor must not hesitate to dismiss or criticize content that is discriminatory, unacademic, or harmful to the university and even the region as a whole. The state of the government and the state of the university reflect on one another, and so both together must strive for transparency, respect, and the common good.

3.4.3 The Chancellor is formally appointed by the Delegate of The North Pacific and is required to take the Oath of Office.

3.4.4 The Chancellor may be removed by the University Executive by majority vote, by the Delegate of The North Pacific by proclamation, or by the Regional Assembly in accordance with the Constitution of The North Pacific.

3.5 The University Staff

3.5.1 The University shall employ Executive Staff to assist the Chancellor and the University Executive in the performance of their duties.

3.5.2 The University Staff shall be promoted to the region by the Executive Council of The North Pacific with applications housed within the Executive Staff application thread.

3.5.3 The Chancellor or their designee shall be responsible for the prompt processing of applicants to join the University Staff.

Delegate Directive #7: June 29, 2022

Quorum Raiding Policy

This document is a directive from the Delegate pertaining to the North Pacific Army's execution of quorum raiding.

Section 1: General Quorum Raiding Policy
  1. The North Pacific will engage in quorum raiding as a last resort after exhausting all other reasonable options to prevent a resolution from reaching queue. These measures include, but are not limited to, counter campaign, direct telegram to approving delegates or regional officials, contact via Discord or offsite forum.
  2. These measures will be employed at least 24 hours before a quorum raid may be conducted, unless the proposal is expected to hit quorum during an update prior to the 24 hour period expiring.
  3. Viable quorum raiding targets are proposals advancing fascist or hateful ideologies, proposals advancing the interest of enemies of The North Pacific, or proposals targeted in retaliation for similar action taken against The North Pacific or its allies. Additional targets not meeting these criteria will be reported to the Regional Assembly clearly outlining the reason for the exception.
  4. Regions targeted in a quorum raid will primarily be those aligned with fascists or other hateful ideologies (including those sharing embassies with such regions), those exempted from restrictions on The North Pacific Army, or those currently in a state of war with The North Pacific.
  5. If additional targets are needed to effectively conduct a quorum raid, The North Pacific Army will endeavor to target regions with minimal nations, or those with minimal community engagement, as well as regions which responded to attempts to diplomatically remove their approval of the resolution with clear support for the proposal and/or its aims which The North Pacific seeks to avoid.
  6. The North Pacific will endeavor to communicate to its allies or other concerned parties with an interest in preventing quorum raiding its intention to engage in a quorum raid at least one update prior to the operation. This communication will include a list of targets and The North Pacific will attempt to coordinate thee targets as best as it can with the other parties which may wish to engage in a defense of these targets.
  7. Following a successful quorum raid of any targeted region, The North Pacific Army will contact the region with an explanation of its action and communicate as clearly as possible the limited nature of the offensive action and the fact that there are no hostilities between the region and The North Pacific (unless hostilities are in fact ongoing).
Section 2: TNP-TSP Quorum Raiding Agreement
  1. Quorum raids or defenses conducted by either party will be treated like any other arbitrary R/D conflict.
  2. Fascist regions will not be defended. Regions that are not themselves fascist but share fascist embassies may be defended.
  3. Subject to both operational constraints and each region's laws and customs, each party will assist each other in raiding fascist regions as part of a quorum raid, at the other party's request.
  4. In the event the proposal targeted by the quorum raid is an SC proposal that benefits the causes of hateful ideologies, the parties will (if requested) provide support on the use of non-military diplomatic/outreach to prevent the proposal from gaining or maintaining approvals. If either party defends such a quorum raid, it will not be described as supporting or advancing hateful ideologies
  5. In the event a quorum raid is actively happening which targets both fascist and non-fascist regions, the available officer from the raiding military will contact the available officer from the defending military before each explicitly fascist target and the defending military will not defend that region, as is standard in all R/D operations

Release of Private Executive Records

This document is a directive from the Delegate pertaining to the release of private executive government records in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Legal Code (Freedom of Information Act).

Section 1: General Release Policy
  1. The Delegate will endeavor to release all legally mandated records consistent with Section 7.4 of the Legal Code as quickly as practicable, and will prioritize the release of specific records requested by citizens as part of the FOIA process as outlined in that section.
  2. All Discord releases will be facilitated by a bot or similar that will collect all channel logs for easy transmission and review. No release will be made without such assistance due to the potential loss of fidelity and the enormous amount of time involved in a manual copying of records.
  3. All specific records requested by citizens will be manually retrieved by the Delegate or individuals appointed to facilitate the release of records. Any records too general to be isolated or requiring significant review and retrieval will be subject to the same restrictions as outlined above.
Section 2: Archivist
  1. The Delegate will appoint one or more Archivists to assist in the release of private executive records and other FOIA requests.
  2. Archivists will be granted full access to all private executive forum threads or Discord channels. In the case of Discord channels all archivists will be granted the ability to make use of the bot or similar to collect channel logs.
