I will be releasing a statement on the opening of the embassy with EoGB and the closure of the embassy with the NPO shortly. I'm also writing a speech for NationStates Day, which will hopefully be released today as well.

Advocate General
Good evening,
Following the passing of the court reform bill, it is now up to me to appoint the first Advocate General. Now that the judicial elections have also passed, I feel comfortable making this very important appointment. The Advocate General will serve as the main prosecutor in The North Pacific, and advisor to the delegate on legal matters, should I request it. For this task, I have chosen someone who is more than capable of fulfilling this task. They have undeniably some of the most legal experience in this region, and they have my full confidence. As a former Chief Justice, Speaker, everything legal related, I know that they will do a wonderful job.
It is therefore my honour to appoint @Sil Dorsett as Advocate General. This appointment is subject to a majority confirmation vote, so I also ping the Speaker (@Foskeburg) to set the legal workings in motion.
Congratulations, Sil, you'll be great.
Signed,
Halsoni
Delegate

No, because it's not done yet.
On Recent Embassy Changes
Good afternoon,
Apologies for the lateness of this statement. Tlomz and I were both rather busy this past week. Anyhow.
Since the events that transpired earlier this year, The North Pacific has chosen to approach its relationship with the New Pacific Order with caution, patience, and the hope that time and reflection would encourage a meaningful change in conduct and foreign policy. Following the Outback scandal, we deliberately chose not to sever ties outright. While the actions taken by leading members of the NPO during that period deeply damaged trust, our government elected to leave the embassy in place as a signal that accountability, reform, and genuine reflection remained possible.
Unfortunately, that hope has not been met.
The appointment of Syberis as successor to the Empress is the clearest indication yet that the NPO has not taken responsibility for its past conduct. Syberis was directly and intimately involved in the events that led to the Outback scandal and the subsequent collapse in trust between our regions. His elevation to the highest position within the NPO does not reflect remorse, accountability, or a willingness to change course. Instead, it suggests the opposite: an entrenchment of the very behaviours that fractured relations in the first place.
This decision comes in the broader context of the NPO’s post-PPO actions. Despite having dissolved their treaty with LWU during the scandal, the NPO moved to cooperate with LWU immediately afterwards. That choice further demonstrated a continued disregard for the harm caused and reinforced the perception that the NPO was unwilling to rebuild trust or act with transparency toward us. At the time, the government chose not to close the embassy, an approach taken under a different Delegate, who opted to see whether the NPO would recognise the seriousness of the situation and correct course.
However, the appointment of Syberis makes clear that such a correction will not occur. It is the final and decisive indication that the NPO does not intend to take accountability for its actions, nor does it wish to pursue a healthier or more stable relationship with The North Pacific. Accordingly, we can no longer justify maintaining an embassy with the New Pacific Order. The door we once left open in good faith has now closed. For the foreseeable future, we will not be waiting to see whether the NPO chooses a different path. Our diplomatic resources and attention are better directed toward partners who act with integrity and mutual respect.
On a more positive note, though, even as we close one chapter of our foreign affairs, we open another. As you all are aware, we have officially established an embassy with the Empire of Great Britain.
Our region has always sought partners who operate with clarity of purpose, transparency, and a genuine commitment to constructive engagement within NationStates. In our conversations with the Empire of Great Britain, it is evident that they share these values. Their forthcoming transition to Frontier status and their aspiration to be a productive force in both Gameplay and the World Assembly reflect a region invested in the broader health of the world.
The approach made by the Prime Minister was thoughtful, forward-looking, and grounded in a desire for positive cooperation. They recognise that The North Pacific has long served as a stable, experienced presence in the international sphere, and they expressed a clear interest in developing a relationship built not on dependency, but on mutual respect, guidance, and open communication. Their existing network of on-site embassies with several of our treaty partners is further evidence that they understand the responsibilities of diplomatic engagement and the expectations that come with it.
For our part, The North Pacific welcomes the opportunity to work with a region committed to responsible governance and constructive participation. We believe the Empire of Great Britain has the potential to become a valuable partner, one eager to learn, eager to contribute, and eager to build durable connections rooted in good faith. Establishing an embassy is the first step in what we hope will be a long and productive relationship.
At a time when we are choosing to step back from relationships that no longer serve our region’s interests or values, it is equally important that we invest in those that do. Opening an embassy with the Empire of Great Britain reflects our confidence in their direction, their intentions, and their potential role within the wider community.
We look forward to welcoming their diplomats and exploring the opportunities ahead.
Signed,
Halsoni

A very good statement Delegate, thank you for your transparency on this matter. Relations with a British region is fine as long as they don’t force us to eat British food, or involve us when one of their monarchs dies for the 5th time in one year.
