"Foreigners came to ask us about becoming members of supposedly peaceful organizations and signing treaties on things like human rights. We surprised and outraged many a nations by refusing when all else agreed. For it was not necessarily because we did not agree that people deserved certain basic human rights, but instead because we did not believe in the right of one worldwide organization or signed piece of paper to without question govern the actions of its member nations, in essence stripping them of sovereignty and permanently interfering with their right to dictate their own laws. We also told them that it was not by a treaty or a piece of paper that we would protect the civil rights of citizens within our borders, but rather through our actions" - Vivan historical archives, Chief historian on the subject of WA human rights declarations and League of Nations membership status.

Hello everyone, this is your outgoing Delegate speaking! The Delegate election has concluded and Rogamark has won! Please endorse him and unendorse me.

I'll have something more to say to everyone soon I just wanted to get this information out there right away since writing a farewell message might take me a while.

As you saw in the above message I am no longer going to be your Delegate. I want each and every nation here to know that it has been an honor serving as your Delegate for these six years.

We've had a lot of changes; when I first joined the region, the Delegate only had a couple endorsements and the region was nearly empty. That was the start of our growth, with lots of recruiting leading to a pretty active community here on the RMB and soon on our forums, forming a new government and talking about all the random stuff an online community will talk about. Most of the people from back then have left but I there are still many I wish could return and see everything we've done as a region, and so we could talk to them again. At one point around then we were one of the most populated regions in all of NationStates!

As we moved forward things slowed down on the forums but the RMB always kept up the pace with all sorts of zany and fun conversations. Although I wasn't as active as other nations on the RMB I still loved reading all the conversations and I felt like I got to know many of you pretty well that way. And then came... the potatoes. That Secretary-General election left a permanent mark on Spiritus (and the rest of NationStates, although smaller everywhere else of course) with potato madness never having left us. We were flooded with potato-themed nations, many still around, and I'd get yelled at if I made a poll that didn't have a potato option, no matter what the poll was about! All the potatoes gave us a unique identity and something to all share, a fun joke we all had. Do you all realize it's been over two years since that election?? And here we are, still talking about potatoes almost daily. That election, screaming about potatoes all over NationStates, running around constantly throwing potatoes at each other in Spiritus, that was the most fun I ever had on NS, and it was all because of this great community we built up here.

I know we've gotten smaller recently and people have left but the community we still have is wonderful. Even though I would get frustrated that we were smaller, less active, and there was seemingly nothing to do about it, that mostly applied to the forums. Even with missing regulars this RMB has still been a fun place to be, welcoming for new members and fun for old. We've got a good balance and I hope it never changes.

Now I know it sounds like I'm leaving the region with what I've been saying, but I'm not. I just thought as the end of a nearly six-year term as your Delegate this would be a good time to thank the region for everything. We're the best region in NationStates and I wouldn't have traded this for anything else.

Gentlemen. I am much touched by this reception. I can only trust that by strict attention to duty I shall ensure a continuance of those favors, which it will ever be my study to deserve.

For those of you who don't know me from the Discord server, or the olden IRC days, or Z-Day/N-Day, I'm Rogamark, now the Delegate-elect of Spiritus. I have been a NSer for more than a decade, and a Spiritusianite for several years now, serving for more than a combined two years in the various incarnations of the Chief Executive position. But rarely have I looked forward to assuming an office as much as today. Spiritus is not only one of the finest regions I've ever been part of, but it's home. Taking over the Delegacy from Salaxalans after his tenure of many years feels special and amazing and a little scary, and it's only tempered by the vague regret that befalls many NSers when a long-lasting delegacy comes to an end.

I'm not going to change a lot of things, I see no point in tinkering with something that's running just fine just because I can. There is, however, one thing that has long caught my attention. Spiritus harbors both an active RMB community, and an active Discord crowd, and thanks to the election and a recent influx of active new people, has seen an uptick in forum activity as well. But those venues are oddly segregated, more so than in most other regions I know. This Delegate election we just had is the best example: it affects the RMB community the most, yet a majority of voters were from the Discord side of Spiritus. I'd be happy if there was a way to bring both sides of the railroad tracks a little closer together. No matter who's holding which office at any given time, Spiritus belongs to all of us.

How long does the shifting of endorsements usually take? 6 years?

We at Taneuma vote against banning capital punishment. Our legal system doesn't use prisons. Criminals are always punished in a swiftly order, by either corporal or capital punishment. That way we deter crime and keep our lush green and clean nation an Utopia free of corrupt citizens.

Kaichou wrote:How long does the shifting of endorsements usually take? 6 years?

Give it a week. Standard procedure is for the outgoing Delegate to resign from the WA (thereby losing all remaining endorsements with the next update) once his successor has enough endos to take over, but I'm still three short of the cap. Delegacy transfers are not something Spiritus has a lot of experience with, this is actually coming along more smoothly than I expected.

I don't want to jinx it, but a few more people (and a lot few more who have endorsed me remembering that they're also supposed to unendorse Salax) and we have a natural delegacy transfer, without a WA resignation. For a region that does this for the very first time in nearly six years we're good at this :)

You could always make a WA proposal to create the Federation of independent nations (FIN), a WA like structure that sets guidelines and norms to promote international trade and cooperation.

So nations can be free from the bureaucracy, red tape and repression of the WA!

Nope, I haven't wondered it because that's the way they wanted the game set up. They have zero incentive, in a not-overly-profitable volunteer-admined game to code in a second WA and just cause a major headache. Furthermore, given that WA Delegate and thus most political, military, and WA based gameplay is tied to the WA, making a parallel body would screw up way more than its worth. Ultimately it'll never happen because the Gameplay community would brigade the hell out of any Technical proposal on the matter if one was ever seriously entertained, and GP is a very vocal part of the game (especially when considering that due to regional recruitment, GP spends the most on stamps and therefore more money on the game than any of the other cliques around nationstates.

Speaking of the WA and its legislation, how are we going to handle that?

Concurrent polls are something for nationstates 3.

Which will NEVER happen.

But if it would happen, I would want it to use something like the upcoming stellaris tile-less system, actual land to take and hold, vassals, federations, more streamlined diplomacy channels (private chats), trade, a bigger impact when resolving issues, strategic recources, warfare, multiple religions, multiple population subgroups, the possibility to exterminate undesirable subgroups, warfare, nuclear weaponry and non-stop cold wars between massive power blocks.

Basically what stellaris will be when it's finally finished, only not in space, with everyone on the same map and better. And with issues instead of anomalies.

I have a dream...

"I traveled abroad and heard people with storage facilities worth of dusty treasures of gold complaining about welfare tax. I was sickened. Yes. I do have a large house with servants in it. But I know that if my neighbor Martha's child was dying of hunger, I would GLADLY pay taxes if it meant putting food in that child's belly. I was sickened and disgusted to hear people who have so much, care so little for others. They spit the words 'welfare' out like it was bad coffee. I made up my mind right there that I didn't want to live there. I knew that if I ever grew poor, I would wish that my neighbors would take care of me and not feel exasperated in helping me in my time of need."- Vivan travel journals, anonymous.

As someone from Yggdrasil pointed out...

Areulder has some additional information illustrating why the current WA thingy is bad: "I will be opposing the Administrative Compliance Act because its author is one of the two members of gensec that ruled its rival, Limitations on Compliance Enforcement, to be illegal. I think we have a ethical obligation to oppose it regardless of our stance on non-compliance or the merits of this proposal. We should all be able to agree that players should not personally benefit from their use of administrative powers."

Yes. Taxes. You know. It's those things that help fund people keeping the trash from impeding your travel thoughout the streets? That stuff that helps pay for making sure that if get hurt real badly that the people supposed to treat you can feed themselves? That stuff? Of course, there's tale of some societies that don't have those things but yeah. I suppose your society is one of those fabled places?
