State of the Regional Assembly: 11 March 2021
Citizens,
Over the course of the past two months (January - March 2021), the Regional Assembly has experienced a plethora of activity in the form of many newly-started discussion threads, Election Commissioner confirmation votes, Security Councilor appointment/confirmation votes, new acts being introduced and debated upon, an amendment to the Line of Succession, and more.
As I promised would be the case during my campaign, and as I reminded each of you of in my subsequent announcements (one regarding my most recent appointment of an additional Deputy Speaker), this will be the first of two State of the Regional Assembly reports to be released from my Office this term.
Statistics on Citizenship
To begin, it's been said that citizenship retention and overall RA activity are but other key indicators of our region's health and the health of our democracy. Here in the Speaker's Office, we firmly believe this to be true and that's why we began collecting data on the number of applications, number of new citizens, number of nations lost, a running +/- balance of WA nations gained or lost, the number of WA nations lost due to a lack of posting or CTEing, number of WA nations moved, and much more.
Moreover, it seems that most nations lose citizenship due to a lack of posting rather than from ceasing to exist or from moving. A differential of twenty-four (24) is observed when comparing the number of nations lost due to a lack of posting to the number of nation lost from ceasing to exist, and when CTEd nations are combined with the number of moved nations that differential only lowers to eighteen (18).
All and all, our WA nation growth bodes well for the future and number of nations lost due to moves, surrenders, CTEs, or failing to post pales in comparison. I am happy to report that we will continue to record our every action on a publicly-viewable tab of the Citizen/Resident registry spreadsheet, as it's become routine for us and is a valuable way to promote transparency in our actions.
New Citizens
Next up...
During the month of January, since I took my seat as Speaker on the eleventh, my Office has had the privilege of welcoming twenty-one (21) new citizens into the North Pacific, and, by extension, to the Regional Assembly. With a retention rate of 75%, the following nations remain citizens of the North to this day:
Welcome to the Regional Assembly, everyone! We're glad that you've decided to stay with us! : )
During the month of February, well after the aforementioned "Statistics on Citizenship" sheet was introduced, my Office was pleased to welcome fifty-five (55) new citizens into the North Pacific, and, by extension, to the Regional Assembly. With a retention rate of 90.16% for the month, the following nations remain as valued citizens to this day:

A Closing & Thoughts Thus Far
Finally, I'd like to take the time to thank each of my Deputy Speakers for the exemplary effort that they put forth each and every day to make this office great. Had it not been for them and their work, we wouldn't have been able to satisfy my campaign objective of performing checks on citizenship and residency every day of the term thus far (with the exception of three instances) and we wouldn't be running like a well-oiled machine with a mere two more months to go until May. My appreciation goes out to them and to the citizenry that we seek to serve.
Thank you for joining me for this State of the Regional Assembly report!
In service,
