Good thank you, using the unusual amount of spare time I have thanks to the lock-down to discover this game. I don't know where you guys are from, but living in Paris makes absolutely no sense when you have to stay inside your small 20m² apartment.
Where are you all from?

Me? India. And yes, living in Paris doesn't really make sense nowadays. And it seems I'm online most of the day, now that I have almost nothing to do, lol

It's all up to the voters. Even if I really find it trashy, it's not my choice. And that would be voters on a discord poll rather than just percentage for or against in-game, as it encourages others to join the discord and prevents our vote being 1) late; and 2) subject to stomps.
In the event of a tie, I would abstain. Delegate abstentions would also be an option in the vote.
In the event that voting would unequivocally hurt our region, I would state why and abstain (something which voters could absolutely challenge). The only example I can find of that is if the resolution was about us or if voting at all would paint a target on our backs (i.e. voting when the vote is related to a controversy we're noticeably involved in).

What's one thing all the candidates would like voters to know?
Czech Germania, Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Zentata, Odin
That I am going to be open with the people as much as possible, and that I want to make the WA play a larger role in Thalassia.
Ahem:Time to promote my dispatch! Do you already have your mind set on voting for another candidate? Have you even bothered to look at my dispatch? If not, then take a look at the candidate with tons of experience in Thalassia, a lot great policies and promises that he will keep, and consider changing your vote.

Currently (say in the last half a decade), major World Assembly significance in a UCR cannot come from voting power. It comes from cultivating an interest in the WA and authorship. We saw that with 10000 Islands, International Democratic Union, Antarctic Oasis, The Security Council, etc. Historically, those regions haven't been competitors in WA voting (with the small exception of 10KI, but that doesn't apply to modern, GCR-favored times). They have, however, created lots and lots of authors. We don't remember large blocs or high-endo regions as significant on the World Assembly. We can't compete with the GCRs in terms of voting power.
What we want is more authors coming out of and residing in Thalassia. The primary goal should be to cultivate interest in the WA, not try futilely to exert more power in the WA.

My responses and following RMB rules:
[spoiler= Bads Question]
Thank you for the question!
Voters of Thalassia, I ran for President in February, knowing full well that whoever won, would keep Thalassia in good hands. Now, I doubt that judgment. Cormac did lead this community through its highs and lows, but he resigned as President, and Thalassia was once again in an insecure position.
I love this community and I make sure that unscheduled elections due to the resignation of our delegate dont happen again.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Nationifics Question]
Thank you for the question, Nationific. I think for these types of resolutions we need a place for debate. I will vote with the majority, but if there is strong opposition, I may offer a debate to weigh both sides. As one of my proposals, I plan (with consolation with Moderation) to open a WA channel on the regional Discord to have a place to debate such resolutions/proposals. I may abstain if both sides have good reasoning. We will see![/spoiler]

Hey there! Welcome to Thalassia. Everyone's really sweet here.
Czech Germania, Ayeinc
Hello everyone, I'd like to talk about voting for Ayeinc as our World Assembly Delegate.
I was recruited by Ayeinc into the Foreign Affairs (FA) department and have worked with them as an ambassador and later on as the Deputy Minister of FA. They have shown consistency and a passionate desire to serve Thalassia by being involved inside and outside our region with our embassies. I believe our region deserves someone who will not just stay and do the work, but someone who can do it well. You can find more info about Ayeinc 's campaign in their dispatch, which includes their goals, FAQ, and why they deserve your vote! https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1340324

I wish the best of luck to all candidates and hope the people will vote
Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Zentata
Thank you Grasswhistle! I appreciate it!
Thalassians, today is an historic day in our history. Today elections begin and we have five, unique candidates running for a newly-created position. Our region has gone through some changes, but to quote Frank Sinatra, The Best Is Yet To Come! I hope that I have answered all your questions and concerns this election. I will still answer any last-minute questions, if there are any. Also for undecided voters, check my campaign dispatch as I have put in a new banner and the questions I have gotten along with their responses. Remember, I'm running for The Thalassia We All Deserve. Good Luck to all the candidates and Semper Thalassia!

Thanks so much bad! It really means a lot to have a former PM endorse me. I'd just like to remind Thalassia that I will do the most for this region, and I will do it while being open and receptive with the people! Zentata for WA delegate! https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1340311
Liruslau, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Arenado
I would also like to take a moment to formally announce that I will be endorsing Zentata for the position of WA Delegate. Having worked with them in the Ministries of Culture and Information I have been nothing but impressed by their work ethic and dedication and I have the utmost confidence in them.
Whoever wins this election, however, I am sure that Thalassia will be in capable hands moving forward. This has been the most competitive election in my time in this region and I am proud to see the democratic process in Thalassia thriving. Thank you all for standing, thank you all for voting and taking part and I hope everyone has a nice day!
Czech Germania, Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata, Banq
People may have seen already that I have voted for Ayeinc in this election and I'd like to explain my decision.
As Ayeinc has stated, when they joined Pacifica they became a Junior Ambassador in my Ministry and rapidly rose through the ranks because of their diplomatic skills, consistent activity and talent in the role. They are an original native of Thalassia, a respected former member of Government and will no doubt be just as effective and proficient in the role of World Assembly delegate.
Whilst there are some excellent ideas and enthusiasm from other candidates, I think Ayeinc understands our region best and knows how to extend our influence internationally in the role of World Assembly delegate. I appreciate Bormiar's suggestions about authorship offering the region a more efficient way to become influential in the World Assembly, but I don't think there has been much appetite for that in the past and it may be slightly ahead of where Thalassia is in the present. Ayeinc understands that building up World Assembly engagement, and essentially creating the position of World Assembly delegate following our constitutional reforms, is more important at this point in Thalassia's progression and I fully agree with that.
Zentata, Banq and Toerana are all able candidates but I am not sure endorsement swapping programs are the most beneficial thing in real terms (compared to creating a WA league with likeminded regions, for example) and there needs to be more infrastructure to build the World Assembly engagement in our region, rather than only promising activity and communication.
Grasswhistle, Ayeinc, Zentata, Arenado, Banq
Thank you for your support!
Antellopia, Arenado, Banq
In the case no one else votes for me, or I am losing badly (both very likely) my vote will go to Zentata
Nationific, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata, Arenado
Don't give up yet! The election is still open for two days!
Jerkania, Veaetmar, Zentata, Arenado
And the regional telegram is out! Best of luck to all candidates! And it's open for 3 days.
Jerkania, Nationific, Ayeinc, Zentata, Odin
I havent given up, I just want to get that out there
Jerkania, Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata
I'd like to, similarly to V, explain why I chose not to vote for myself, but support Bormiar/Odin in this election.
If Thalassia wishes to join a WA league, we need an experienced author at the helm. Bormiar is the only candidate who has passed not 1, but 4 Security Council proposals.
His connections and membership elsewhere only serves to help Thalassia in this mission, being a member of The North Pacific as an example, one of the members of WALL, a league that dominates the World Assembly. The only person who comes close to Bormiar in WA experience in this region is Cormac, who has retired. While Ayeinc has FA experience, being able to set up embassies is one thing, furthering Thalassia in the WA is another thing.
Furthermore, the region hasn't had the chance to display any appetite for the World Assembly, this is the first time a position like this has existed in Thalassia. Our former attempts, if my memory serves me well, of attempting to join/found a Legislative league failed, due to a lack of willing like minded regions, and if Ayeinc truly believed in the importance of a World Assembly league, he likely would have pushed harder for joining one as Foreign Minister.
If experience and dedication to the role sell your vote, then your vote should go to Bormiar/Odin in this election.
Jerkania, Zentata, Arenado, Odin
Id just like to say good luck to all candidates: I cant wait to see who my successor is :)
Also, I think that the best pick for me would be Zentata: they seem like a well rounded individual with a lot of ministerial expertise.
Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata, Arenado
I pushed for Thalassia, even Pacifica, to join a legislative or a WA league. I brought that discussion up in the Cabinet and with my team. I wanted to join a league, but the decision not to join or create one was made by Rockiberg. It wasn't my call. We had these discussions in the Cabinet, but the call was made. We had other things to focus on, like leading a new region. Plus, I was focused on getting vacant positions filled and trying to solidify relations with our embassy regions. And I really don't think it was because of what you said. We have embassies with other regions because they are like-minded. The reason was not because of "a lack of willing like minded regions," it was because we had just moved from Thalassia. Again, we had other things to focus on.
My ministry and I set up embassies, and we also built relations with our allies to point where it's possible to even create a legislative league with those regions. I had ambassadors, like you, who did a good job of building relations. I was FA minister before the move and after the move. I believed we should have joined a WA league, but it wasn't my call. And to believe it was because of what you said is false. It is time to join one because I believe in Thalassia and her ability to come together with other like-minded regions.

The Avalonian Government would be interested in cooperating with other left-wing advanced economies. If any nation would be interested that has good or rising civil and political rights, and economies with high levels of equality are invited to work with us. We envision an organization that builds consensus on issues like human rights, environmental protections, and trade.
Jerkania, Yaldian Territories, Ayeinc, Odin, Carlia, Coalandia, Tirr Savattstra
I will be endorsing Bormiar/Odin and voting for them in this election. They have a lot of experience behind them and I think it an honor that they're running to be our Delegate. I urge voters to take up this opportunity and put their votes towards Odin, and to read through the campaign dispatch below for all the reasons why.

Another good way to boost the economy, is industry subsidies, otherwise known as corporate welfare. You could also cut taxes. Really, there are lots of things you can do that have beneficial economic knock-on effects. Good education and healthcare, for instance.

Supreme Court Orders Free Tuition for International Students
The Avalonian Supreme Court (The High Court, as we know it here) has just delivered a landmark decision. Asserting that the Avalonian Government has a responsibility to the equal respect of human rights between classes and creeds, it has ordered that the Avalonian Government may not charge international students for tuition. "Education is a human right, and therefore must be available to all, equally", a high justice said. Although tuition will now be free, accommodation will not be free. It is expected that this decision will open Avalonian education to a larger and more diverse pool.

After 10 year of Vladimir Nazarbayev's presidency, he officially announces he will not run again in the upcoming election.
He nominates Włodzisław Warcisław. Assuming that Włodzisław wins, which seems most likely, he will take his role as lead genneral of the ground forces.
Here are the candidates, along with occupation.
Włodzisław Warcisław, General of the Yaldian Ground forces. Independant
Miroslav Darya, Prime minister. General Conservetive party
Varya Darya, judge, leader of the Progressive Party
Artur Walerian, Former Lead commander of the navy, Owner of Astana News. Independant
Zhenya Yemelyan, Governer of oldlamb province. general Centrist Party
Soon the candidates will be narrowed down and one will replace Vladimir as the president of The empire of Yentazen and Yaldian Territories.
Zentata
No offense, but if you are Empire, the head of state is the Emperor. In the Republican system, the head of state is the president,in monarchy is an emperor, king, or prince that depends on whether you are a empire, kingdom, or principality.

The nation functions like a democcracy, it has a constitutional monarch that i have mentioned before. So ye sthere is an Emporer, but he is just a cultural figure, the president is the official head of state.
sorta like Sweden Britian and other constitutional monarchies, except some of those give the monarch some sort of power, the emporer doesnt get any power except a free pass to being a celebrity
