The Membership of Refugia,

In seeing there are more active nations than open positions within the government, hereby establishes the Refugia Council seat by the name of Subadent. It is to be filled and may only be filled by Subadent.

It resolves.

Actually that is a good question how does one become a moderator of calref Refuge Isle

Subadent wrote:Actually that is a good question how does one become a moderator of calref Refuge Isle

For off-site CalRef, best guess? Be active in the community and contribute substantially to the area that you oversee and when there's a need, admins will float names to fill a seat. Things within the community are pretty darn calm, right now.

Fortunately, it takes significantly less time to run for regional officer. ;)

Im gonna try and become a mod of offsite calref out of spite jk

So Omegaforce's alt is back at trying to get RO abilities in regions he just joined.

Or he was, until Karma just banned him.

Welcome Evkara!

Tire Land- I've never met someone who lived in Turkmenistan, how did you like it there?

I have the worst headache, I haven't had a coffee and I can't focus on anything

Happy Thanksgiving if you presently reside in a location where it happens to be Thanksgiving.

Regional Information: Big Payno is now a member state, and may vote in elections and referendums, as well as run for office.

Welcome, Verrhelisa, to Refugia~~

Chacapoya, Athidill, Sylh Alanor

Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce my immediate resignation from my post as Councillor of Foreign Affairs. I don't feel like I'm in a position for so much responsibility at the moment, and I'd like to make the position available to someone with more time, energy and interest to put to use.

I've been awfully spent and quite inactive in Refugia and CalRef of late, and I'm working on changing that.

Sylh Alanor

Hi Ath, I think it's incredibly responsible to understand when you can't handle the responsibilities of a position. I hope to see you become more active and happier within the community without that extra burden on you.

Chacapoya, Refuge Isle

Ill take aths place if need be.. jk id be badd for that position xd

Your resignation has been accepted. I hope this will ease your stress load. Remember that you will always be welcome here and we'll always be around to talk. <3

Per RRS. 8(b), I will be appointing an acting foreign councillor for the remainder of Áth's term from the winner of a special election.

The Councillor of Foreign Affairs' responsibilities are defined as management and maintenance of the travel portals within the region, foreign affairs and authority over embassies established to outside regions, diplomatic negotiations and foreign correspondence. The remainder of the current term ends January 7th. Member States have four days to announce their candidacy, starting now. The election will begin at the conclusion of the current referendum and will last five days.

Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor

I would like to announce my candidacy for the foreign affairs post. As speaker of Conifer I dealt with inside and outside affairs, recruitment and alliance information, embassy requests were dealt with by our premier but I used to mention them to him. Thus I believe that I would be a good candidate for this position.

WA Information: There is currently a World Assembly resolution at vote in the GA that I have written. I recommend everyone who is a WA member vote for it here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=ga

If you are not a member of the World Assembly and do not have any other accounts in the WA, you can join here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=un

Endorsing Refuge Isle generate an additional vote for Refugia.

Thanks!

Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor

Everyone should support Refuge :) I've voted for.

Chacapoya

Refuge Isle - I read your resolution and I see what you're getting at, but if you want a repeal proposal to be successful you should include a suggestion or dedicate a part of the proposal to a more effective solution to the problems the original resolution adresses. I voted yes anyway, because I believe that, for the most part, the resolution under fire is against the Jectilanic way. We don't make anything that does not directly harm anyone or restrict their freedoms unlawful. Absolute political and civil freedom is our goal.

Jectilan wrote:Refuge Isle - I read your resolution and I see what you're getting at, but if you want a repeal proposal to be successful you should include a suggestion or dedicate a part of the proposal to a more effective solution to the problems the original resolution adresses.

That's not the traditional format of WA resolutions, but I appreciate the vote. The argument I presented in the proposal says that there is no original problem and the interference by the WA on this subject is ineffective anyway.

It seemed like you recognized the potential hazards too, but okay.

Jectilan wrote:It seemed like you recognized the potential hazards too, but okay.

If you're referring to my Recalling clause, it is just that: restating the arguments that IA made in the original proposal. The following clause concedes that those original affirmations were either short-sighted or that they improperly chastised all agreements made in private as cloak and dagger conspiracies.

Refuge Isle wrote:If you're referring to my Recalling clause,

Oh, yes I am. I need to familiarize myself with the format if I am going to get anywhere. Is there somewhere I can find documents relating to it?

Jectilan wrote:Oh, yes I am. I need to familiarize myself with the format if I am going to get anywhere. Is there somewhere I can find documents relating to it?

Yes, quite a few. The rules on GA rules are here: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=159348

Mostly, resolutions need to be written as law from the WA's perspective. Repeals can only repeal and legislating in a repeal or attempting to amend is illegal.

This is a thread containing all of the passed GA legislation: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30 or you can just look at the WA: https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolutions/council=1

It's easiest to get an idea for the format from looking at passed legislation and looking at the proposals page to see when something gets declared illegal and why. The proposal page is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_proposal/council=1

You can also work with other players in the GA forum to draft a resolution before submitting it: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewforum.php?f=9

Welcome Poll Party and Siald to Refugia :)

Siald, Poll Party, The Second Iberian Peninsula

Hey o, I saw this region is left leaning and I'd like to ask, exactly how left we talking on average?

Sylh Alanor

More importantly is there a discord?

Uhh, pretty left as far as I’m aware.

There’s def some people who are further left than others, but I would say fairly progressive on average.

Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor

Hi Montanaius, welcome to our region. I'm not really sure how to describe how left something or other is; while several of us are fond of socialism as an economic system, there are others who aren't. Our main focuses as a region (which can be found in our official document, the Revised Statutes) are environmentalism and human rights. I don't really consider these things political, because I think they're issues that transcend partisanship, but I understand some people don't agree with that. Do you have a specific metric or issue that you want a general opinion on that will help you come to a decision?

Also, we don't have an official Discord server. We do, on the other hand, have an official forum at (https://calref.cc/index.php). A lot of us weren't really happy on Discord and wanted to utilise a platform that allowed ideas and conversations to be sorted into different threads and encouraged thoughtful conversation.

Of course, if you have suggestions for the region, we're always happy to have new members step up and make requests!

Chacapoya, Refuge Isle

And we don’t have a real big discord presence.

We do have forums which are linked in our Facebook entry!

Happy December, friends. I'm beginning to work on the Eco-Report, but I want to let us all down real easy, so here's the preview.

We made our mark with Eco-Friendliness. The regional average hit 5000 earlier this month. With the arrival of so many newly-created nations, however, both our average for Eco-Friendliness and our average for Environmental Beauty have dropped significantly. I think the trade-off is good, though. We have a lot of new people who will help us to carry on our goals, and it'll make us even stronger in the future! :)

Everyone has one more day to announce they would like to run for Councillor of Foreign Affairs.

Was that just some strange attempt at a raid?

I mean, they couldn’t endorse so prolly not but huh.

So there are currently 203 spice harvesters across nationstates, some having answered issues, all having been created in the past day.

I believe it may have something to do with card farming?

Good chance numbered puppets are card farms. That, or raiding puppets.

Why they would come to a non-executive WA, I do not know, but I thought it was spooky.

As the internal voting for the SC vote is 2-0 so far, I will be casting the region vote For.

Hello! Here is today's news:

The referendum to adopt Sylh Alanor's amendment to the Refugia Revised Statutes has passed in a vote of 6 - 0, with 4 abstentions. It has been incorporated into law: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1200707

Without a second party to challenge the CoFA, Subadent has been appointed the Councillor or Foreign Affairs, tasked with carrying out the responsibilities of that role for the remainder of Athidill's term. It will be the first position up for the election cycle, which will begin in about a month.
