Hi I'm new to this region
Hello
The Democracy Of Red Star, Ilii, Laos East
VOTING RECOMMENDATION
The CSC Defense Office suggests that residents vote AGAINST the current at-vote legislation, Ethical Treatment of Animals in Research.
1. Clause 2 leaves the door open to continued animal experimentation, mainly in the confusing wording of sentence c, which would allow animal research institutes to continue abusing animals by defining the research as "of a material benefit to its sapient owner".
2. The establishment of yet another WA body shows the intent of this legislation to overly regulate the members of the World Assembly.
3. Clause 5 allows this legislation to draw from the General Assembly Fund, which means hardworking nations will be expected to contribute more money to the World Assembly.
4. Clause 8 directly allows for a contradiction to clause 7, making clause 7 unnecessary and useless.
5. Clause 8, sentence c allows for the subversion of sentences a and b of the same clause, thus making it contrary to the purpose of those sentences.
Again, residents are encouraged to vote AGAINST the at-vote legislation. Please direct all questions to the Defense Officer, [nation=noflag]new jaedonstan[/nation].

I like how my super long quote suggestion scrambled up the names listed on the poll when you look at it first.
But honestly, there are better suggestions, dont vote for mine.

Motto Contest Update
One day of voting remains, and we have a low turnout considering we have over 300 nations. Cmon people, vote damn you.
The Democracy Of Red Star, South-Central Rhodesia, Deims Kir, Phorbus, Bridge Port
VOTING RECOMMENDATION
The Defense Office of the CSC suggests that residents vote FOR the at-vote proposal, Military Identification Tag Act.
1. The legislation provides a succinct and useful definition of its terms, as well as successfully identifying the issue at hand.
2. Section 2, the real meat of the legislation, is simply and easily fulfilled by member nations.
3. The legislation serves a unified and simple purpose, providing a service to military service members that should have long ago been established.
4. The legislation encourages cooperation between member nations, as well as protects the identity and rights of military members across the world.
Again, residents are encouraged to vote FOR the at-vote proposal. Please direct questions to [nation=noflag]new jaedonstan[/nation].

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. I thought we were supposed to be totally independent. But I joined the WA upon request from our leadership in Lands End.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Deims Kir, Neu Deutschlandia, Bridge Port
In response to Bridge_Port and Vlilandia, while WA resolutions do affect your nation's stats the degree to which they impact them is pretty minimal as far as I'm able to ascertain. You're far more likely to throw your nations politics askew with a seemingly innocent policy choice than you are from anything the WA imposes on you. Basically, just keep running things in your government according to your preference and the impact from the WA will be next to nothing.

Alright everyone, time to do what every big corporation does in June, make our logo (flag in this case) rainbow for pride month. So if anybody is in the mood to slap that Bull on a rainbow flag and send it to me (either through discord or a imgur link) go right ahead. Id do it myself but i dont have photoshop or GIMP, or any other similar program.

Hello Lands End, I have been asked by your regional government to explain something that recently happened regarding your flag. You might have noticed it was changed to a pride flag, as this month is pride month, and now it has been changed back to regular. I want to clarify to you that that decision was not made by your government and should not be directed at them, especially Bonnie Blue Republic or Slovak, as some sort of sign that they are anti-LGBT or do not want to recognize you.
However, as you may know the Augustin Alliance has policy regarding regional flags. It has long since been August's belief that sexual orientation is completely irrelevant to a political simulator. LE does not fly a straight flag for the other eleven months of the year, and it does not need to fly an LGBT flag for this one. There are a thousand causes that claim a month of the year. We do not recognize them in our official materials. This one is not an exception, unfortunately. That is why Lands End was instructed to revert its flag back. If you want to be mad at anyone, do not be mad at your regional government. As an LGBT person myself I certainly appreciate the gesture by the government of Lands End. It's good to know they support people who struggle with their identity or discrimination but the rules are the rules as it currently stands.
I am sorry that had to be cleared up and I hope there is understanding on this decision. Anyone is free to hit me up in DMs TheRobocrat#7505 with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Emiline
Its okay with me, I dont mind.
Also, I hereby Announce That I Will be running for the position of Chief Personnel Officer (CPO) this election cycle, as I do have experience in the role (being the incumbent nation, no less), and because that I think another term serving as personnel officer would do the regional population good as a whole.
Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Phorbus, Jolly Potatio Land
Before people windsweep me,
I hereby announce my intent to run again for the position of Chief Trade Officer or CTO this election cycle, as I do happen to have experience in my role for three terms total so far. These last two terms have been great with you guys, and lets keep up the entire having a region as CTO thing.
I do have references, having a former COO and a former CEO both say that I have been one of the best CTOs in this region ever and personally I would hate to see my position fade away like what happened with my successor before I took the office again.
My ambassadors, youre welcome to bow out of your position if you wish to persue other ambitions. I am also willing to recommend you for other positions if you wish.
Weve grown as a region, and I am impressed with my foreign affairs office.
You guys, lets keep this up, no matter what.

Also the symbolism of progression of justice and fairness within society is seen with the words, progress, congress, and gress. Progress represents a time when leaders wish to serve their people and bring justice and mercy to their people. Congress is the reverse of that where the leaders of a country become corrupt. Gress is when everyone is apathetic because of the nuclear apocalypse.
The waffles and names of military divisions shows how the scarcity of resources and the greed of man causes unnecessary war and strife. The laser rifle represents the power of the military, and forgetting how to use it represents abusing militaristic power causing misery everywhere. The fact that these military units from from WW2 shows the cruel reality of how the World Wars shaped the modern world.
Finally, the Soviets accepting Capitalism shows how even though Communism and Socialism are great evils, unregulated Capitalism, the Capitalism that neglects morality and fellow man for profit, has caused a great many injustices and evils in this world as well like slavery, oppression, greed, and many other things. Accepting Capitalism does not give a pass to abandon Morality.
This has truly been a work of art better than Shakespeare. Thank you for listening to my Ted Ed talk.
For my next Ted Talk I will talk about how to talk about important issues and how to state your opinion on them while also using comedy worse than Steven King's joke books. [Spoiler] My opinions that I stated in this masterpiece are that those with authority should serve those who are under them instead of looking to as a means to an end and using them as tools.
Another thing is that justice and mercy are two things that go hand in hand and one cannot exist without the other. War is often bad and more often than not unnecessary, and even in just wars there are often war crimes and horrible acts that should never occur.
The ideologies of Communism and Socialism promote the state going beyond simple taxation which is necessary and into the realm of abolishing personal property, something that people worked for and it belongs to them. More than that Communism and Socialism and extremely against religion especially Christianity. Capitalism on the other hand can go the opposite way and make people think that the acquisition of property is more important than morality and their fellow man. It can allow people to make property of their fellow man and strip them of basic human dignity and respect. Capitalism can also be against religion. Both ideologies can lead to a blindness to see that there is more to being a human than whatever material wealth you have.
The reason I see taxation is necessary and is not at all theft is because of the fact that just as those in power should serve us, we obey them and trust them, and serve them as well. We also hold them accountable for their actions, yes, but we obey them, and help them help us. [/spoiler]

Also since they would have a higher IQ than Einstein and Einstein had a smaller brain than average we all must have gigantic brains in our skulls if we are that smart.

Another thing before I finish my speech here, somebody once told me that the world was gonna roll be because I was not the most intellectual person in the metaphorical shed full of tools. As she said this she looked kinda dumb with her one appendage called an index finger and her other appendage called a thumb is the shape of the letter L from the latin alphabet in it's uppercase form and her hand was on her forehead.

I hereby announce that I am running for the position of Cheif Trade Officer.
Last election I received two write-in votes for the position. I have been working as VP-PR since January in the past months I have learned a lot regarding how the board works and how the region is governed. I have a good relationship with the other government members and am very active within the region and the Augustin Alliance as both the Lands End ambassador under Spokane and as a member of the Joint Task force. I hope that you will vote for me in this coming election.

Voting will last for one week.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, The Federation Of Spokane, South-Central Rhodesia, Phorbus, Hooseria Magna
I would like to apply for the CLO position, as there is no candidate. If that's still possible.
My reasoning as to why, it's 'why not'? My promise as a candidate it to not fall to corruption or misuse the position for anything illicit. Most likely due to the reason being, by not doing much at all.
Also to maybe get some learning experience in case I need to do something, or so would be my estimation.
