Region: Lands End
Some time in August but ask [nation=short]capitalist_piggys[/nation].
Elections will start tomorrow, you will send in your votes via telegram to [nation=shortnoflag]Confederation of TESDAI[/nation] with each position as well who you will be voting for. Also note that you must be a shareholder in order to vote. Elections will then end on August 8th (A week from now).
I can't wait to see who wins!
Unike
Also, the election for CEO will begin August 10th, the new BoD will elect this position. However, this will serve as a notice for anyone thinking about running for CEO so that they may have time to gather a campaign together to present to the BoD.
Hello, all. I would like to remind everyone to submit their resultss for the recruitment competition to me. You need to send the number of TGs sent + blocked by category telegrams.
I would like anyone who is currently running and not on this list:
to TG me the position they are running for.
I will send out a regional TG later asking for votes. Good luck to all who are running.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Can we vote for ourselves?
Yes. But you must be a shareholder to vote.
So we just telegram TESDAI with our votes, right?
United Alliance Of Alexandria
The rmb's been dead all day. Isn't that just a dog diggity?
Perfectly understandable.
Election TG sent. You should be recieving them soon. Good luck to all candidates. Happy Election time.
Hello Lands End, WA Delegate Confederation Of Tesdai here to do my job.
I will be opening discussion and providing my input on the current WA Proposal Repeal "Enabling The Disabled In Academia".
I suggesting voting FOR
To start, you may not think I do, but I spend some time on the Forums, and one thing most WA proposers do, and should do, is create a draft. There was no drafting process in the forums for this proposal, if this means anything to you.
One problem with the original proposal is that it has the ability to be abused by someone that could possibly be severely disabled and then force the governments of WA nations to then spend ludicrous amounts of money to accommodate their needs, even though they are unlikely to be unable to join the workforce or be a productive member of society in that nation, which could inevitably cause bankruptcy to a nation for one person that could end up being useless.
A line in the original proposal is "DEFINES disabled, for the purposes of this resolution, as having a physical or mental condition that limits movements, senses, or activities." It could be argued that this does not include developmental disabilities or socioeconomic problems, therefore not promoting equal education for all, but instead promoting that students with certain disabilities could be placed above others with different disabilities or those who simply are not rich enough, or not living in the right situations.
I feel we should pass this repeal in hopes that the original is rewritten with a draft process so that we can get a good proposal that can't be abused or misinterpreted.

Holy Quadruple-Tonguing Thirty-Second Notes! What happened here, my lads (and lasses)?
Hello everyone! I have a very important announcement to make. I wish to tell everyone that I'm planning on running for CEO! I will continue my campaign once the CEO elections start.
Mercantana, Unike, United Alliance Of Alexandria
Oooh. Exciting.
Not to spoil anything but elections are actually pretty close. I'd continue campaigning if I were someone running for office.
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic
This worries me.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Welcome to the shareholder club, [nation=short]Danneskjoldstan[/nation]! If anyone else wants to apply, this is your last chance before elections begin...
If anyone needs a refresher of what I offer to Land's End as CTO, just ask and I will happily oblige you.
Would either of our candidates running for CRO like to add some inspiration to the 'fray'?
United Alliance Of Alexandria
I have to ask, why not just combine these two messages since they were only posted 9 minutes apart and were both official duties?
Wenchdom
My campaign for CTO was sent out to all the shareholders and was posted on the rmb a couple days before the election started. I also have it as a Factbook for Torranta.
If anyone still wants to see it just tell me and I will send it to you again.
Unike, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Wenchdom
Elections have begun! Nations are rushing to get their votes in. You may be wondering, what qualifies for the CRO position?
1. I have goals. By the end of my term, I want Lands End to have a population of over 240 nations.
2. There may be a new recruitment template. The current template performs at an outstanding rate, but I want a different template that will do just as good or better. If a new template is created, there will be a month long testing period to determine its value.
3. I'm very active on NationStates. I login everyday, which meams I'll have plenty of time to do my job.
4. My recruitment conversion rate stands at around 4.50%. That is a very high percentage for recruitment.
Apacifica, Wenchdom
Wow, seems like a few people are recapping their campaign so I'll recap mine:
cactus.
(Also hamburger)
Unike, Xentai, Nosotalio, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Wenchdom
I'd jump on the band wagon, but there is so much that I offer to Land's End as CTO that recapping would result in a VERY long message (subliminal campaigning). So instead I will add something on to my existing campaign which you can see on the telegrams I sent you if you are a shareholder, or on my factbook "CTO Campaign."
In addition to my current campaign I offer a very active term as CTO. I tend to be one of the more talkative nations on the rmb, which I would apply to my job as CTO should I be elected. This abundance of communication I share would be dedicated mostly to my responsibilities as your CTO.
Also, as I happen to check in on NationStates MANY times a day and generally have a lot of time to spend, you would not have to worry about me shirking my responsibilities, and will try my best to remain as active as I am at least until the end of my term. This, combined with my intentions to hire ambassadors (see my campaign factbook) to help we with my work would make my work go faster and more efficiently. Even if I did end up not having time on certain occassions, the ambassadors could temporarily take the wheel.
I will add this portion to my campaign factbook so you can see it all at the same time.
United Alliance Of Alexandria, Wenchdom
Anyone who is running for a BoD position, I urge you to join the Discord. This makes communication a lot easier between people. The link is on the WFE.
Unike, Capitalist Piggys
I have decided against withholding a recap of my campaign, so if you feel like reading a lot, here it is:
As explained in the Corporate (LE) dispatch, the CTO's job is to construct profitable, healthy relationships and embassies with other regions. I believe myself to be fully capable of carrying out this task. Below are a few reasons why you should vote for me, as well as some of my plans for my term as CTO.
A. By the end of my term, I would like to have at least 2-3 quality, highly profitable embassies (a 30-40% increase). I would also like to see these embassies be as inclusive and communicative with us as I hope we will be to them. After all, what is the point of an embassy if we are not going to use it? My vision is to see Land's End as a socially advanced, friendly region.
B. Quantity of embassies is not necessarily my goal. QUALITY embassies are my goal. To make sure this goal is fulfilled, I will keep you employees informed and represented. I would send out telegrams of my intentions and with the permission I would take polls on the desire of the people for the construction of an embassy in a region. This way, embassies would not be constructed in regions unapproved of by the majority of the people. I should hope you employees actually like the embassy region. To ensure this, it would be your duty to help with the region choosing and send me proposals for regions and to send me feedback on my work and on other regions.
C. As the CTO, more foreign representation and diplomacy may be needed than I myself could provide. For this reason I would like to hire a few ambassadors. They would collaborate with me on my work, and appeal to other regions. We could work on several projects at the same time. And, if fate demands it, they could help out if I am short on time. You would also be able to send feedback to them as well and they could redirect it to me. They would assist me in fulfilling my promises and carrying out my job properly.
D. As my previous lettered points may have suggested, I plan to keep you employees as represented and involved as possible in my diplomatic efforts.
E. Though this may be a loose connection, I attribute my endorsements to my diplomatic efforts in this region. I believe this to be a reflection of The performance I would give as CTO should I be elected. Nearly 50% of the nations I approached obliged me.
F. As the CTO, I would also ensure that embassies are not constructed with controversial regions. Requests from these regions would not be accepted. Regions that are verbally harsh or aggressive may cause dispute, which is undesirable in an embassy. Approaching highly militarized regions may act as a gateway to raiding. Though this may be an obvious statement, I will avoid regions such as these.
G. I happen to be a very active nation in Land's End, and am one of the more talkative nations on the rmb, which I would apply to my duties as CTO should I be elected. If I am to take on the responsibilities of CTO, then this will only increase to further expand the extent of my communication with you. As I check in on NationStates many times a day, you can rest assured that I will have enough time to serve you as CTO. I will not shirk my responsibilities. I have already pointed out how my ambassadors can help me on the off chance that I am short on time.
H. Though I am a relatively new nation, my ambitions are high. I would go beyond the expectations and bring Land's End into a more social state, with wide communion with other regions.
"Sloth is waste. Initiative make haste." Don't sloth around, take the initiative to vote for the candidate who gets the job MORE than done. Feel free to ask any questions.

Just a reminder that you have a little under 2 days until elections are over. If you are a shareholder, go out and vote.

We are a very new country and wish to make some very new friends.
We have already gained one country support but we wish to gain more.

Hello! I just joined this site, and I am learning the basics of it. I don't know how everything works, but I will try to learn. Also, I love CS:GO so much tht I named my nation after my favorite maps.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
I am glad to support anyone who takes the initiative to ask.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
I've spent many of hours on Dust2.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Anyone who's played CS has spent a while on Dust II...
How is everyone? Decided to pop my head in today.
You know, I've never played CS:GO but it looks like fun and I do like most shooter games. Just don't like the amount of money it takes to get into most of them...
Bonnie Blue Republic, Dustii And Mirage
I am very new to this site and I don't know much and trying to learn all of it and my Empire needs friends
Xentai, Dustii And Mirage
Well, CS:GO is only $15, that is if you don't spend money on cases and keys.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Harvens
Hello, I am new here but used to play nationstates a loooong time ago so I sort of know what I'm doing I guess.
Welcome to lands end, hope your business here does well
Harvens, Coruloma
It's impossible to not buy cases and keys. Or atleast not buy a skin or two for your favorite guns.
Yeah you get hooked in very quickly.
I think I voted... :P And also: I'M BACK, BABY! IN FULL ON KELTRo-NESS! YEAH!
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Oh hey, someone who created his nation the same day I did.
I was looking for someone like you to compare and see how bad/well my nation is doing so far.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Not sure if they were founded the same day as me, but Montalar and Krabandria at least moved to Land's End the same day as me. All three of us are pretty close in population too, so it's entirely possible, maybe even probable that we were founded the same day.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
I would like to announce that the 3rd Term 2017 Elections are over.
Congratulations to Capitalist Piggys for retaining her COO position. She won unanimously.
Congratulations to United Alliance Of Alexandria for winning CRO.
Though it was close at first, I would like to congratulate Torranta for winning CTO.
Nearly a 3 way tie, but by one vote, I would like to congratulate Kiselev on winning CLO.
I'll be happy to work with all of you in LE's government. I'm sure I'll see you all soon on the Discord and we can vote for our CEO.
If any are interested in running for CEO, I would suggest campaigning to the members of the government, on the RMB, and on Discord.
Unike, Isollis, Wenchdom
Thank you dank Kiselev Bois. In all seriousness though, I'm hoping to bring some great content to you soon.
If the vote for CEO is on discord, then I regretably inform you all that I can not participate.
Nosotalio has expressed interest in being CEO, however. Unless I hear of a better candidate, he has my full support.
Discord does have a browser version, in case you were unaware.
That should allow you to at least stay abreast with developments.

Could we possibly get vote counts?

Thank you, and thank you to all who voted for me, I look forward to working with the BoD. Also as you all can tell I haven't been the most active in the recent days, however that will shortly end. Thank you for your patience.
Unike, United Alliance Of Alexandria
I am also curious of how I fared against the opposition. I don't see the harm of knowing the vote count after the election has ended.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Congrats the winnerd!

To answer the current polls, I'm terrified of most anything. Especially hospitals, spiders, the dark, and horror movies, I could honestly go for hours.

You're welcome
No.

BBR would be correct in saying you can use Discord directly from your browser. If you can't use Discord, it will be difficult for you to participate in our government affairs, but I'm sure we could get you any important news.
We will probably hold CEO votes on NS, but discussion will probably take place on Discord.
To go along with this, if anyone is interested in running for CEO, I would suggest you to start campaigning immediately. CEO voting will start very soon annd will end in just under 6 days.

It appears that the only person elected unanimously was Cap... I guess that's a good thing.
Shows that the electoral process is working.

Hello everyone!

WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDS SON.
Unike, Confederation Of Tesdai, Bonnie Blue Republic, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Keltro
I noticed that COO and CRO had a total of 17 votes, but CTO had 15 and CLO had 14. Based on this, some people may not have even put certain positions on their vote (not specifically a bad thing).
They other positions weren't too close either, except for CLO.

On a side note, I didn't realise how long I'd been in LE until today's WC results came through.
Or how many people I thought of as "fixtures" actually joined after I did.
The more you know.

Wow I'm second in the whole region...
Although this is to a lesser extent, I relocated here only a month ago, and already I've been here longer than half the nations. Kinda shows how often people come and go.

Torranta
I still feel like a new nation, but here I am with longer residence than half the population and CTO (not gloating, just musing on the passage of time).
United Alliance Of Alexandria
So, what's the official stance on the world assembly bill?
On the current proposal in the GA, Repeal: “Reproductive Freedoms”
I suggest voting how you please.
Vote how you feel, whether you are pro-choice or pro-life. I refuse to give any guidance on the matter as I would prefer to not try to persuade you one way or the other, both sides have very good arguments. I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion on the matter, so go ahead and discuss.
You are not required to vote the way I suggest, as it is a suggestion. Vote how you want to, I'm just here to give you guidance on how I feel you should vote.

Greetings from your CTO! I am currently devising the process of selecting ambassadadors like I promised in my campaign for CTO. I should be done soon and I will notify you all as soon as it is.
Unike, Confederation Of Tesdai, Nosotalio, United Alliance Of Alexandria
Hello?
Is it me your looking for?
Greetings from your CTO. Here are a few things you should know about being an ambassador. I have noticed that Land's End has a deficiency in "outreach." In a nutshell your job would be to fix that problem by helping outreach to other regions. If you were to apply to become an ambassador, I would fill you in with more detail in terms of which regions are acceptable and your general code of conduct, as well as other details regarding your duties.
The applications for ambassadors are now open! Please include reasons why you are qualified for the job. I prefer nations who are active on the rmb (if you are not you can change that anytime) and don't act like 13 year olds. Remember you will represent Land's End to an extent. I would also prefer nations who aren't already in government positions. This is so more nations are involved in the functions of Land's End. These are not strict rules, but rather preferable guidelines.
Unike, Isollis, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Nordhpadhan
I'm very good at not acting like a thirteen year old, but also at acting like a thirteen year old.
Anyways, I could help outreach by establishing relations between LE and LEbrbER (which totally isn't run by me.)
First of all that region doesn't exist unless I am the worst speller ever. If it does exist, I am assuming you were being sarcastic about not running it, in which case I would have to say that outreaching to a region run by someone in Land's End is not much of outreach at all. We need to outreach to nations untouched by us.
If you are planning to be an ambassador please send me a telegram with reasons you are qualified. You are encouraged to give me suggestions and feedback whether you are an ambassador or not, however. I wish for as much involvement as possible.
This begs the question. Why not just let everybody be an ambassador? I have no way to censor what you tell other regions, and censorship is stupid. So, I want people with a filter. That is why it is a hired position, so I can make sure we aren't made fools.
Isollis, United Alliance Of Alexandria
Sorry I haven't been active for a few days, I've been working on some stuff to get a job and getting ready to move into college housing, so I may yet still be a bit busy. I will bring that stuff that I had planned soon.
No. No. No. No.
God No.
I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your soul.
My fists bleed death. Meet your doom, imbeciles!
Unike, Isollis, United Alliance Of Alexandria
LEbrbER is short for "Lands End but run by Evil Robots", a joke region I made with a puppet. My proposal to establish relations was a joke, as it's entirely inhabited by AA puppets. I will consider applying for ambassador, but I'd probably require direction on where to try to establish relations.
I will fill in the details on such matters after you guys have been accepted as an ambassador. Also, I had to turn down "LEbrbER" as they did not follow the embassy policy. I would probably still reject them again if they retried using the embassy policy for several other reasons.
Also, I'm kind of suspicious of a package I got today from Land's End. What did you guys send me? It better not be another Molotov.
