Office of the Delegate of The North Pacific
Inaugural Address, September 2025
Good evening fellow North Pacificans and the world,
Congratulations to @Chipoli and @Foskeburg on their respective victories. Every North Pacifican loves their region, and we need that fire and passion right now. Our situation is tough, folks. We’re losing too many members and not attracting enough new talent. This address serves as both a conclusion to the Acting Delegacy and the beginning of my term as Delegate, and it calls on all North Pacificans to take action. We urgently need more people on board, and I cannot do this alone. My Cabinet can’t do it alone, and neither can our few hardworking staffers. Step up, support your fellow regionmates, and join the government today.
Closing the Acting Delegacy
Now that all of you have applied for the Executive Staff and enlisted in the NPA, let’s take a look at what we did this term and specifically during the Acting Delegacy.
From the Office of the Delegate
Before my inauguration today, I had the privilege of serving as Acting Delegate on two separate occasions. In that role, I prioritised ensuring that government operations thrived, evolved, and delivered results for the people of The North Pacific. During this time, I introduced new initiatives, strengthened our foreign partnerships, and advanced the Delegate’s agenda across every ministry.
I took one of the most important steps by creating committees, which are dedicated teams designed to tackle large-scale projects, advise the Delegate, and create new opportunities for involvement. Unlike the oversight committees of the past, these groups focused on concrete goals: reforming the North Pacific Army, enhancing our foreign affairs program, welcoming and integrating new members, and organising the Lennarts. Each committee included committed and talented North Pacificans, and I am proud to have provided them with a platform to contribute directly to the success of our government. Additionally, I worked to keep the government focused and productive under the guiding theme “One Week, One Agenda, Many Wins.” This initiative encompassed revitalising the World Assembly mentorship program, expanding NPA operations, launching cultural initiatives, boosting our diplomatic visibility, and injecting new energy into Integration. Every ministry advanced its goals. I also introduced new projects, including creating our first Discord-side embassy row, updating outdated directives, and coordinating major military operations with High Command.
Serving as Acting Delegate challenged me and honoured me at the same time. It showcased what we can achieve by combining initiative with structure and allowing every North Pacifican to utilise their talents. This experience not only prepared me for the office I now hold but also strengthened my belief in the resilience, creativity, and determination of our region.
From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We have defined Foreign Affairs this term by stability, renewal, and the strengthening of our bonds with allies. After years of turbulence in the broader landscape, our ministry paused, reflected, and realigned itself with long-term goals, rather than merely focusing on short-term crises. This approach allowed us to maintain our existing commitments and expand them in ways that will shape the future of diplomacy in The North Pacific.
The crowning achievement of this term is the signing of a bilateral treaty with The West Pacific. We once thought this agreement impossible, but it now represents both a reconciliation and a genuine restoration of one of the region’s oldest alliances. This progress showcases how far both regions have come in rebuilding trust and establishes a solid foundation for cooperation in the years ahead. Together with our long-standing allies in Europeia and Balder, we send a clear message through this treaty: the emergence of a renewed independent bloc where our shared values and aligned interests provide strength and clarity in a game that often thrives on uncertainty. As Acting Delegate, I also had the honour of overseeing the ratification of the Treaty of Fire and Ice with the Plains of Perdition. This treaty formally recognises a partnership forged in the crucible of war, a friendship strengthened by shared victories and a common vision for the future. Our collaboration with Perdition has already proven invaluable, and I am confident that this treaty marks just the beginning of a lasting alliance.
In addition to high-level diplomacy, Foreign Affairs actively informs and involves our citizens. The successful release of two FA Digests, which cover major events of 2024 and 2025, brings interregional developments closer to home for TNP residents. By making the ministry's work more accessible, we have taken a significant step to ensure that our people not only benefit from our diplomatic efforts but also understand them. This remains a critical part of our mission: diplomacy strengthens when the region it serves actively engages.
Looking ahead, we face challenges. The war against the Brotherhood of Malice provided us with clear moral clarity and a unifying purpose; however, the new diplomatic landscape will be more complex. We will confront nuanced decisions that are consequential for our future influence. With dependable allies by our side, we are well-positioned to tackle these challenges, as long as we remember to exercise power with responsibility, restraint, and vision. Foreign Affairs is entering its next chapter on a solid footing. The ministry has weathered immense change over the last three years and emerged stronger. Our next steps will require fresh leadership, the nurturing of new talent, and a continued commitment to transparency and engagement. If we remain true to these principles, The North Pacific will uphold its status as one of the game's most trusted and respected diplomatic leaders.
From the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs
This term has marked one of the strongest periods for the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs in recent memory. Building on the reforms introduced at the end of the previous term, the ministry refined its upvote system for Information For Voters dispatches (IFVs), achieving impressive results. During the term, we released 43 IFVs that gathered an astounding total of 772 upvotes. Many of these dispatches consistently ranked among the top five worldwide, with some even reaching first place. A highlight of the term was the commendation of our own Kaschovia, whose IFV surpassed the 30-upvote barrier; this success reflects both our effective strategy and the resonance of our work across the World Assembly. We finally succeeded in the long-overdue passage of Commend Kaschovia, and the ministry played a central role in this achievement. The momentum we gained will carry into future terms, with our efforts already underway to highlight and defend the accomplishments of our citizens.
The ministry actively modernised its operations by abandoning outdated and unreliable technical systems. The staff successfully transitioned to a fully manual process for threads and IFVs, maintaining and even increasing productivity in the process. This shift required their commitment and flexibility, but the impressive results demonstrated that the ministry could meet its goals and consistently deliver output without relying on old tools. Although activity levels still pose a challenge, there are encouraging signs of renewed engagement. More people are participating in mentorship efforts and policy discussions, and the ministry concludes this term in a healthier position than in recent years. With a more robust system in place and a growing foundation of experience, World Assembly Affairs is now better equipped to handle the uncertainties of the WA landscape and the opportunities it presents.
The leadership of the Minister and the dedication of those who contributed their time and expertise to the ministry's success stand as a testament to the achievements of this term. The work we have done here has strengthened The North Pacific's voice in the World Assembly and reaffirmed our reputation as one of the most active and influential regions in the international arena.
From the Ministry of Integration
The Ministry of Integration has consistently contributed this term by actively connecting new members to the region. Throughout this term, we sent out a total of 9,457 recruitment telegrams, ensuring that The North Pacific reaches new audiences and welcomes fresh faces into our community.
In addition to outreach efforts, the ministry undertook the important task of documenting government dispatches. This project creates a more comprehensive record of our activities and provides citizens with a reliable way to stay informed about their government's work. While updates depend on coordination with other contributors, this documentation lays a strong foundation for transparency and accessibility moving forward. Other programs, such as Birthday Wishes and Mentorship, continue to operate smoothly. Although these initiatives may be quieter in nature, they remind us of the ministry’s broader purpose: to ensure newcomers feel seen, valued, and supported from their very first days in the region.
Managing the Frontliners project has presented challenges, but we are making progress. Coordinating consistent activity from this group has been difficult, yet the Regional Message Board is experiencing improved levels of engagement. This increased conversation and outreach ensure that new arrivals are more likely to encounter a vibrant and welcoming TNP-centric community when they first interact with The North Pacific.
The Integration Ministry has consistently, reliably, and essentially sustained the welcoming environment that defines The North Pacific, even if its work this term hasn’t always been the loudest.
From the Ministry of Culture
The Ministry of Culture faced significant challenges this term due to the disappearance of the sitting Minister. Despite this disruption, the ministry contributed meaningfully and provided opportunities for regional engagement.
The team successfully hosted and released several radio shows, helping to keep one of our core cultural programs alive and ensuring that North Pacificans enjoyed high-quality content. They also progressed on a new issue of The North Star, which, once completed, will further enrich our cultural offerings. On the interregional front, the ministry partnered with Carcassonne to host a movie night, strengthening ties with our friends abroad while providing an enjoyable event for citizens of both regions.
Perhaps the greatest highlight of the term has been Delegate Delirium. Thanks in large part to Ghost’s tireless efforts, the event has been a resounding success and continues to energise and excite the region. It serves as proof that even during a challenging term for the Ministry of Culture, innovative and well-executed projects can thrive.
Although the ministry struggled with gaps in leadership, the resilience of its staff and volunteers ensured that Culture still had its moments to shine. With stronger direction in the future, we can build upon the foundation laid this term to restore Culture to its full potential.
From the Ministry of Defence
During this term, unusual circumstances shaped Defence, as I served as Acting Delegate and concurrently as Minister of Defence. This dual role, though uncommon in our government, ensured that the North Pacific Army (NPA) remained active and engaged throughout the leadership transition. It emerged as the best solution given our significant manpower problem.
The NPA launched a successful raiding campaign in the warzones, marking a period of increased activity and achievement. For his efforts, Blue Wolf II received the Order of Invasion and earned the honorary title of Conqueror of the Warzones. All participating officers were honoured with the title of Champion of the Warzones, and several army members earned well-deserved promotions in recognition of their service. A significant milestone occurred when Cosmic advanced from Colonel to General, reflecting their dedication, leadership, and consistent contributions to the NPA.
The army conducted a raid on The Hanguard, an operation notable for uniting an independent coalition free of both raider and defender influence. This action showcased the independence of The North Pacific and demonstrated our ability to collaborate constructively with allies while pursuing shared goals and remaining committed to our values and principles.
Despite the atypical leadership circumstances, Defence proved that the NPA continues to be a dynamic and reliable force on the interregional stage. Its successes not only highlight our military capabilities but also reaffirm the strength of our independence as a region.
Opening the Delegacy
I stand before you today, having taken my Oath of Office as your new Delegate, and I am filled with anticipation for what lies ahead. This is a pivotal moment for TNP, and I am confident it will mark one of the greatest chapters in our history. My time serving The North Pacific in the WA Delegacy for over a month has prepared me, but now a full term demands a formidable commitment. We will navigate the Gameplay landscape with conviction, refusing to bend to the whims of lesser regions. The North Pacific stands unwavering, a beacon of freedom, hope, and democracy. Our flame of resilience will remain strong, undeterred by any challenge or crisis.
We have never witnessed such a promising future for TNP as we do now. This is the dawn of a new era in Gameplay, the Independent era. Let this serve as a clear message to all who have wronged the North. You know who you are, and remember this: the North forgives, but we never forget. While our primary adversaries may have faded, political turbulence persists. We will rise above these trivial squabbles. Our interests extend far beyond the simplistic Raider-Defender conflict, the National Sovereigntist cause against the International Federalists in the World Assembly, or the infighting among factions clinging to power. We are steadfast. We are Independent.
We will focus on prosecuting our own interests on the world stage by expanding the NPA and unleashing it onto the battlefield as an Independent military, through the WA by commending our very own regionmates and supporting allies, friends and aspiring authors on high-quality legislation, and staying ahead of unrest within our alliances by being reasonable, professional and ready to compromise. As a very wise man once said, “We are the good guys.”
No one person leads alone, which is precisely why I have assembled a formidable team of dedicated players. Each of them is committed to executing my agenda with unwavering conviction and a strong sense of duty. They will be instrumental in ushering in this new era of TNP. Allow me to introduce you to the Executive Council and the non-cabinet government officials:
Minister of Foreign Affairs - @TlomzKrano
Tlomz is a former Delegate, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of World Assembly Affairs, so he certainly needs no introduction. His expertise has been invaluable to me during my Acting Delegacy, where he served as my advisor. As a true friend and confidant, he has been deeply involved in my campaign for the Delegacy. I am confident that he will expertly carry out my foreign policy.
Minister of Defence - @Koopa103
As the longest-serving member of High Command and a dedicated NPA supporter, few individuals can match Koopa’s commitment to the North Pacific Army. She is passionate about reforming the NPA and restoring it to its former glory. I’m eager to see what we can accomplish together with the NPA Reform Committee.
Minister of World Assembly Affairs - @Chipoli
My good friend Chipoli has extensive experience in this role and is very knowledgeable about the current landscape of the FA. He has assured me that he is officially back and ready to fully commit to his position as MoWAA. Having worked alongside him on several occasions, few are as dedicated to this region as he is. I’m pleased to have him in my cabinet, where he truly belongs.
Minister of Integration - @Orange
One of the best decisions I was involved in last term was promoting Orange to the cabinet. He is passionate, patriotic, and intelligent. His energy energises the Integration Ministry, which gives me complete confidence in his ability to turn things around and steer the organisation in the right direction.
Minister of Culture - @AraFuttio
A former Minister and Speaker, among many other roles, Ara has been a steady presence in the TNP administration since his return. He has made significant contributions to our region and is regarded as one of its most promising figures. I look forward to seeing what he will accomplish in this position.
Regarding non-cabinet government officials, I’m appointing @Marcus Antonius as Lead Gameside Advocate. His energy and activity with the Gameside Advocates is truly admirable, and I see no reason for him not to continue in that role. For the duration of Delegate Delirium, I am also appointing @Pallaith as Delirium Coordinator.
Government officials, please take your oaths.
As the 50th elected Delegate of The North Pacific, I am convinced that this term will be the first of many great and historic terms in this new era of TNP. We will stand strong in the face of adversity and difficulty, and we will prevail. Nothing can stop this North Pacifican wall of democracy, freedom and prosperity.
Flemingovia bless you all, and may He bless The North Pacific.
Signed,
Halsoni
Delegate
