Region: The Mystical Council

History

We've really come a long way as a region. A military is a great step forward. I'm going to work on the Regional Defense Party.

ICish

The Platform:

In general it is a party that is focused on regional security as well as functions of the military (i.e. Regional Guard). Its birth occurred in Sentagon shortly after interactions with nation members of The Red Fleet. It had become clear that after a series of attacks on The Mystical Council, their free way of life would require a defense force.

The Platform.

* Have two branches of government officially pass law recognizing the Regional Guard as an official military organization affiliated with and belonging to The Mystical Council.

* In favor of using the Regional Guard to assist allies such as Anticom, Star Wars Battlefront, and The Wolf Syndicate on missions and military operations.

* In favor of using the Regional Guard to assist embassies protected under the EPA if and when they are attacked.

* Favors promoting awareness of threats to the region both internal and external.

* Favors increasing military numbers

* When interacting with the regional government, believes that military leaders should answer only to the following nations: The Delegate of The Mystical Council, The President of the Lunar Council, and The President of Sentagon. Where there is disagreement in military matters, The Mystical Council's Delegate and two Presidents should cast votes.

* Desires to enact the above statement into law.

Malcholm

Let me know if anyone wants to join the Regional Defense Party. The main goal of this political party is safety for the region and making the Regional Guard a priority.

Thanks. I'll put that in the info center.

Hey Everloyal, are you part of the RDP political party?

Everloyal

Personally, I don't do forums and I don't participate in forums. But a lot of regions have them. So I included a spot for them in the Info Center. If anybody wants to create one, or two, or three, be my guest.

Oh yes, the acronym. Regional Defense Party (RDP). Basically they are the political backers of the Regional Guard you founded.

Everloyal wrote:My apologies I am slightly dazed RPD?

Dude, I know how that feels. I've been dazed all day. Real life is throwing some crazy punches my way lately. Craziness!

Thank you for clarification please briefly explain this I did not quite get it from your earlier post.

Well this is the draft that I have right now:

--------------------------

This is not a military. It is a political party which is strongly supportive of the Regional Guard. The goal is to bring the Regional Guard under the control of The Mystical Council's regional government. Basically the Delegate and both Presidents would be the Commanders and Chiefs of the Regional Guard if the RDP has its way.

The goal here is to make our military accountable to our regional government.

Well if sure Do I have to run for anything.

I have a feeling I will be delegate again tonight. I think that the presidents and delegate would have to agree.

Everloyal wrote:Well if sure Do I have to run for anything.

Depends. How involved do you want to get? I was just going to make a list of nations registered under that party and leave it at that. (You'll notice on the Regional Government dispatch I put [Regional Defense Party] next to my country.) All you really have to do is declare your affiliation with the party and you're in.

I've lost track of which delegacy this is going to be. 2?th.

I might as well affiliate my self.

Order Of Hospitallers

My last act as Acting Delegate:

Seconds ago: The Outpost of Oakplumington agreed to construct embassies with New Great Khans.

I know section 32 is a little up in the air right now. I'm just going to go ahead and appoint Order o Hospitallers as Journalist.

Good I was gonna do that.

Oakplumington

Well once again I am delegate Like always it is an honour I would like to thank everyone for endorsing me In what time I have which is unknown I would like to get the Regional guard going full bore And I hope the future holds great prosperity for us.

Oakplumington

"38. The Founder shall retain certain emergency powers to protect the region from irreparable damage. A reason must be stated on the regional message board, any time the Founder takes any of the following actions:

a. The Founder may eject a Delegate or dismiss an officer."

Earlier today, I dismissed Mobile Infantry17. The reason for this dismissal is due to the fact that Mobile Infantry17 violated our constitutional system of government by dismissing the members of the Lunar Council and the President of Sentagon. Infantry17 also violated the New Bacon Appearance Act by dismissing New Bacon as Map Minister.

New Bacon, Malcholm, Everloyal

I'm turning in for the night. See everyone later. After elections we will vote once more on section 32 (attempt 2).

This is how the new section 32 works.

I just appointed Hospitallers as Journalist while I was acting delegate. Under the new section 32. I would have needed approval from three different nations: One of our Presidents (Malcholm or New Bacon), a member of the Lunar Council, and a WA member of Sentagon.

For example, if Malcholm, Vaspassia, and Netherfar signed off on it that would make it official.

Example 2, Malcholm, Chingislan, and New Bacon (Remember New Bacon is also a WA member in Sentagon)

Example 3, New Bacon, Jegerkompaniet, Forestavia

These examples are just for illustrative purposes only. If we pass this new section 32, this is the process we will need to follow. It slows down the Delegate from appointing too many cabinet members too quickly and also prevents executive overreach.

I personally disagree but I see the use for a delegate that abuses his power.

Ok, either the WA Delegate or The Founder found the regional newspaper and give me authority to access it and i will start ASAP

I actually don't know much about how this newspaper thing works. Can someone explain it to me?

You should make either the

AIA Party (Anticom Inter-Regional Alliance)or the AC Party. (AnarchoCapitalist)

Oakplumington wrote:I actually don't know much about how this newspaper thing works. Can someone explain it to me?

You make articles containing words and pictures, in our case it would be about regional happenings and such.

You have to have NS++ To Utilize it though.

It will be easy to understand once i make a article, only the wa delegate or the founder can found the newspaper thiugh

Pin a dispatch explaining the regional guard please.

Thanks that clears things up. I don't have NS++. I'm real low tech over here with my windows 7 laptop and my not-so-smart phone. Maybe Everloyal has NS++. If not, we can elect someone who does so that we can get this newspaper started. I'm excited about it.

The majority of nations here are unaffiliated with any party but that trend seems to be changing.

We're still getting the details down with the guard. Primarily its function is to defend and protect this region. But it may assist other military alliances that we have down the road. We'll see what happens down the road.

This could be your time to shine. If Everloyal doesn't have the NS++, then it's all you. You, the great Order of Hospitallers, could launch a campaign for the Delegacy - our journalist could be both Delegate and Journalist. Now that's something new and historical!!! :) We'll figure this out. I might just eventually end up breaking down and getting the add on.

RP:

Nobleton was now the High Council Leader. Harold's term was up and the Nationalists had done well for themselves in the Senate this year. He paged through the region's new newspaper. "Eh, tension brewing. Haven't heard anything from the Left Conglomerate for awhile," mutters to himself. He was pleased that Forestavia was a proud member of the Regional Defense Party as well as a Regional Guard that was - as of yet - not officially recognized by The Mystical Council. Liberals in Forestavia, on the other hand, feared that by aligning Forestavia with such militaristic power could send the wrong message to the world. "We will become thugs of the world!" said some. Needless to say that all anyone in politics or the media would have to say was that magic word - "Lunar Soviet" - and everyone was ready to support the militarism of the day. "The Red Fleet attacked us not once but multiple times," said some. Forestavia's position to keep ANTICOM on the embassy protection list was a direct result of the "Red Scare". Socialist Senators, who now held 69 seats in the Senate were viewed suspiciously.

I did not know there was a vote whoops.

The legislation to adopt the Regional Guard as our region's military was defeated. For now the Regional Guard will remain an unofficial voluntary militia-like alliance accountable to the General (Everloyal), the Colonel (New Bacon), and the Captain (Forestavia). It should be understood to all nations throughout the world that this Regional Guard [I]is not[/I] The Mystical Council's military but is merely an independent military alliance that was formed within our region.
