Region: The Mystical Council

History

Our WFE seems a bit... dull to be honest. If we take away the officers section and the dispatches, it would look even more boring. Any ideas about how to spice it up?

Here is my suggestion, we add a "song of the week" section. Each week, starting with [nation=short]Oakplumington[/nation] and going all around from left to right, one of us would pick a song of the week. Alternatively, instead of each of us picking a song every week, each of us can pick 3 to 5 song choices and put them on a 1 - 2 day regional poll, and the winner becomes the song of the upcoming week. This way the whole region can participate, and we get to know more about each other's taste in music.

What do you guys think? Do you have any other good ideas?

At the info center, there is a link to the Help Center at the bottom under the "other" category. [nation=short]Malvacka[/nation] is the founder of this Help Center. I am looking for a volunteer to sign our region up via the forums. I honestly do not have time for more forums. NS is enough for me. Here is the information you need:

Make an account here: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Hireath/index/

Sign your region up here: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Hireath/topic/8487735/1/#new

It's simply a more efficient way to see who has HC and who doesn't. Plus offsite makes contact 100% quicker (I have learned).

And if you're interested to be a councilor we also have a sign up for that too,: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Hireath/topic/8479100/1/#new

Personally, I am at the forefront when I feel someone in the region is unjustly being prosecuted. But I did go through that guy's RMB posts; he does not belong here. He's making a series of nonsensical spam posts and random passive aggressive insults, in a way that's just under the line of crossing website rules and needing moderator intervention. We are much better off without his kind.

I also added a song of the week section, and we're starting with you. If you're not intrested, then after you [nation=short]New Bacon[/nation] gets to pick a song, then [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation], then [nation=short]Rondaland[/nation] and so forth. Every week, if it's someone's turn, they should add a song on Monday, if Tuesday comes and they haven't made an edit, the person after gets to add the song instead. It also doesn't strictly have to be a song; it can also be any composition of music.

I suppose that noise can be qualified as music by some.

Anyway, I finished the edit, and I also made sure that we can still add some more notes under the alerts section. I put the song of the week in it's own section below everything else, because it's less important and it's the independent "fun" section. I also uncolored "Regional Info Center" to make it obvious that it's a link.

A secret letter was sent to the Pyroskian government. The writing was somewhat shaky:

[spoiler=The Letter]

It is I once again. I have been questioned by the High Council due to my previous bad publicity in the Isles. I believe that the good citizens of the Isles will not go willingly. This is why I believe that we should make the colonial treaty really, really long. Then we can tell the people 'We must pass it to find out what's in it!'

And so you will find enclosed the beginning of what could become a treaty. BUT you must not breathe a word of this until we ratify our constitution here, in The Mystical Council. We are still far too young a region to acquire colonies without stretching ourselves too thin. But I fear that if we wait much longer, there may not be anything left of The Greater Holy Isles to acquire. We must plan it out stealthily and wisely. I have not shared this with any member of the regional government.

Yours truly,

High Councillor Chippy

The Theocratic Republic of Forestavia

Dear Governor,

I have become aware of Forestavia who seems to be trying to form a colony treaty with another nation that may or may not be with the approval of both the Lunar High Council or Sentagon. As such i suggest we look into this issue with utmost haste, lest we find ourselves in a situation that threatens the Colony or more importantly the Empire's interests.

[spoiler=Election Results for Southern Forestavia]

Ross Paul Wins Southern Forestavia picking up an additional 85 delegates and 10,815,300 votes.

Smith added 61 delegates and 7,742,100 votes.

Stevens added 39 delegates and 5,082,600 votes.

Totals:

(Independent) Paul - 306 and 38,784,297 votes

(Nationalist) Smith - 248 and 31,572,504 votes

(Liberal) Stevens - 234 and 29,845,089 votes

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ross Paul's Speech at the Monastery]

He walked out onto the lawn to give a speech to the nation's religious leaders. Stevens had given a rousing speech on freedom the day prior and Haley Smith had yet to appear before them. Here Potatoists, Lucernists, Fortruthians, and Vedulists were all gathered.

"Good Afternoon,

I see no reason why I should stand here begging for the votes of leaders of our nation's four official religions. Why isn't our process cut and dry? Why does religion still play such a large role in this [I]Theocratic[/I] Republic. I honestly find this process ridiculous and corrupt and unfair to the voices of millions of Forestavians. Many of the Liberal candidates for Senate are actually campaigning on huge changes that would essentially remove the theocratic element from this country entirely. And guess what? They are winning all over this country according to the polls. Guess who's losing? The Theocratic Party. Removing the power of the religious establishment used to be something that was only talked about in hushed voices. Now, it is out in the open throughout our land.

I am winning the popular vote. I have secured over 38 million votes from the popular vote. The Nationalist High Council Leader has secured just over 31 million. Stevens is under 30.

I am winning among the proportionally allotted delegates. I have secured 306. The other two candidates remain below 250.

I have won more provincial elections than both combined! They have together won five. I have won eight. And with the help of Forestavians we will also win Western Forestavia in the weeks ahead.

But - according to some sources, I will lose the election to the Nationalist. Now, if you will allow me, I will not ask for your vote. I will TELL you who to vote for. And I say that you must vote for me. You must vote Independent this election - and you will. Or else -"

He motions to the area around him.

"-this place won't mean anything anymore. The theocratic element of our political system will cease to exist. As I have already stated the Liberals will take over the Senate. If you vote for Smith over me and Smith wins the election, then you will have used your spiritual superiority to overrule the overwhelming will of the Forestavian people!"

He was becoming more animated.

"And then the Socialists, Liberals, and Independents will have every excuse they need to completely wipe out any influence religion has on our government. You will taint the very image of God by becoming gods yourselves which is the very prideful idolatry that our sacred texts warn us against! Forestavia will fall to PIECES!!!!

Yesterday I met with the leaders of the political movement called the Oakplumington Federation and they have told me that Oakplumington is already moving to separate from the Forestavian empire and that Western Forestavia won't be too far behind. I also met with local government officials there. These provinces have their own treasuries and their own militaries. They are ready to leave! Do not think that they haven't been paying attention to the events in the Northland of Parakka. And YOU FOOLS WILL DARE TO VOTE AGAINST ME ANYWAY! I am the only chance to stop this from happening. I am not steeped in political ideology like the Nationalists and Liberals. I have a moderate approach that will find balance and compromise as needed. I will bend over backwards for this country to keep it intact. Show the Forestavian people that you are willing to listen to them.

You technically have three choices but I know your temples are in the pocket of the Nationalist Party and I am the only candidate who has a chance against Haley Smith so that narrows your choices to two. Me or her. You will vote for me because Forestavia will fall apart otherwise. The people will see that you do not represent them and they will rise up. You will be shunned and our country will lose our faith. We will become collectively anti-religion over night. Don't Do It."

He took a breath. And left the premises heading for the Senate, where he would prepare to make a similar plea.

It's the centenary of the Great The Mystical Council War, and competing plans to commemorate the historic moment are being considered for approval.

The Debate

"No expense must be spared!" shouts military historian Tobias McAlpin through his unfashionable mustache. "This historic event must be celebrated through every town square in the country. Parades, street parties, reenactments! I'm sure all our citizens will contribute handsomely to making this celebration truly memorable."

Accept

"Excellent! And let's not stop with the past," proclaims Brigadier-General Buy Bush, Director of Public Outreach for the Army. "We can use this burst of patriotic fervor to give a strong message of support to today's armed forces, going forward. We should have a big parade of our men and women in uniform in Sjælland with a fly-by from the Air Force. We can never have too many recruits, after all."

Accept

"Do you have any idea how much all of that would cost?" complains budget auditor Sophie Lee while eating a stale rice cracker for lunch. "We shouldn't spend money on something that happened a hundred years ago, and the savings from all that pomp and circumstance can be returned to the taxpayers. Are you going to eat that sandwich?"

Accept

"I don't mind having a commemoration, but we need to remember that most of the people who died in the Great War were common workers like me," says union leader William Dovey, who never seems to be content with anything. "I think it's only fair that we give everyone a national holiday, so we can all reflect upon our history of class oppression. Otherwise celebrations like this end up just being for you toffs."

Accept

"Of course we should remember the War - but there was nothing 'Great' about it!" pontificates student protester Rebecca King, who has read two and a half books about the War and now knows everything about it. "It was a shameful bloodbath caused by greedy capitalist arms manufacturers, and it could have been avoided. We should be remembering the incalculable tragedy of it all and making sure it never happens again!"

Ok guys i would like to be elected to the Lunar Council to help mend the rifts that have been present as of late between various council members. I would also, more importantly like the chance and opportunity to try and shape the region with the other council members. I view the opportunity to be on the council as a chance for me to grow in nationstates throw collaboration with what i hope will be my colleagues. In addition by being in this region it has influenced how i view my own region and has lead me to begin the process of changing up how the region is run and how the officials will be elected etc. Anyway as a campaign speech goes that's probably not the best haha but know that if i'm elected i will always strive to do whats best for the region.

Personally I'm not sure about it. On one hand, your point which is great; on the other hand, the rule encourages people to not do any "scamming" in the region.

Barishmacht wrote:No equal representation?

Only when it comes to representative democracy during the Lunar Council elections. The votes are equal region-wide during the Lunar Council elections only.

As for everything else, no - not equal, but fair. Regional laws, the constitution, the Sentagon policies, etc all allow WA Sentagon members 2 votes within Sentagon.

Here's why:

- It keeps the region active by providing incentive for WA nations to reside here.

- It keeps the powers of our Executive Delegate in check (because these WA nations are free to endorse whoever they want to at anytime and will exercise that right if they are unhappy with regional leadership).

- It prevents Sentagon, as a branch of government, from falling into the bottom of a hierarchy where they are considered lower than the other two branches because the Delegate is forced to work directly with the WA members in order to keep their seat. Sentagon, by default, holds the highest number of WA nations.

- But is it really fair? Yep, it sure is. Every nation here is free to keep or to not keep WA status in this region. If there is ever a vote on a law that a nation feels is so important then they may bring WA status to the region temporarily before the close of the poll. Your vote is up to you and you are free to represent yourself in Sentagon as you wish. The choice is ultimately left to individual nations to make.

It may not be the perfect government system but it does keep the region functional and the government seems to stay in balance.

As for everything else, no - not equal, but fair. Regional laws, the constitution, the Sentagon policies, etc all allow WA Sentagon members 2 votes within Sentagon.

Here's why:

- It keeps the region active by providing incentive for WA nations to reside here.

- It keeps the powers of our Executive Delegate in check (because these WA nations are free to endorse whoever they want to at anytime and will exercise that right if they are unhappy with regional leadership).

- It prevents Sentagon, as a branch of government, from falling into the bottom of a hierarchy where they are considered lower than the other two branches because the Delegate is forced to work directly with the WA members in order to keep their seat. Sentagon, by default, holds the highest number of WA nations.

What of those in the military whose wa is sometimes out and sometimes in

No exceptions for anyone for any reason. This prevents our region from turning into a solely military-based region and keeps democracy alive at the same time.

The choice is left to the nations as to how they represent themselves. If my priority is a military mission vs a regional law, I'm only going to get one vote. But if the law is more important than my military pursuits, then I will be motivated to bring my WA back here before the poll closes.

Good question.

TO: The Lunar Council

FROM: The Government of Forestavia, Sentagon Member

CC: H.C. Chippy, H.C.L. Smith

I hope this letter finds all of you well and in good health. I know that this is an uncertain and busy time for the Lunar Council with election season quickly approaching, however, I feel an issue of utmost importance needs to be brought to your attention.

I noticed that our region is out of compliance with the ANTICOM Alliance Act. The required "capitalist" tag is missing. I am seeking your assistance in restoring this important part of our regional identity which is easily visible to outsiders. We must always stand resolute that capitalism is by far a better system than that offered by the dreaded Red Fleet under communism.

Please bring us back into compliance with Section 6 of the AAA as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time,

I think we should repeal that.

Anticom is not solely capitalist at all, it is a unification of people against communism, not supporting any specific ideology just against communism.

Agreed.

The part making us have the capitalist tag, and the part that barres us from having the fascist tag should be removed.

I agree.

They have nothing to do with anticommunism.

"

6. The following tags will be required (no nation can remove them without amending this law): Democratic, Capitalist.

7. The following tags will be optional (any nation with appearance authority an add or remove them at will): Anti-Fascist, Anti-Communist.

"

We are forced to have the capitalist tag but not the anti communist tag?

Au912 Mystical Council Consulate

I would just like to scrap the whole treaty.

Two of the anticom leaders are also leaders here in TMC (forestavia, pyrosky) and the third leader borduiaa from EROGC has never helped in any anticom operation besides AAN, and the EROGC is a sworn ally of NE, who refuses to work with anticom.

I know, I'm here campaigning for my candidate today. It's going to be hard here. The military just publicized the report about the spy plane Smith authorized to fly over the Oakplumington Colony a few days ago. Turn on the news if you haven't already. They apparently did a low fly over various parts of Oakplumington earlier today with four super-sonic stealth planes at about Mach 3. I guess our government is trying to keep the colony from getting any bright ideas about declaring independence. Couldn't have done it without that Nationalist-inspired military budget....:/

Troublesolver and Smith have been grabbing a lot of power lately. Something bad is happening to this country. I think Smith is going to win the election "with the blessing of the monastery". And since Chelsie doesn't want the position, Troublesolver will become High Council Leader. I've got to go, James. I'm up next for a speech.

Ok, write up a repeal proposal for the sections you'd like to get rid of. I feel that that tag structure helps to distance our region from both Fascism and Communism and promotes freedom here without being dogmatically "Anti" something but that's just me. The law has been in effect for awhile and the region has changed a lot so it might be worth a look over.

Malcholm

Oh, I remember why I included the "fascist" tag ban. It was because I didn't want The Red Fleet to have the power of propaganda against this region or ANTICOM.

Basically, if they see we have a fascist tag and if we have an alliance with Anticom, well we would basically prove the fleeters right - case closed. They would have all the propaganda ammunition they need to destroy ANTICOM's reputation forever. So the "fascist" tag ban was meant to protect both ANTICOM's and The Mystical Council's reputations. That was why I put that language in there originally. If we repeal the fascist ban, then we should cut all official regional ties with ANTICOM completely in order to preserve ANTICOM's reputation.

That's what I think anyway.

Today on TMC TV the series premier of "The Chef and The President", a world wide occalimed soap opora occured.

I would agree with that... I noticed they were working with a Nazi region(s) awhile ago and asked their founder about it and he said basically they don't endorse any particular ideology but will work with extremists to stop communism.

Not sure I support that possions myself but hey I'm not part of the group and thus don't get a say either way

Ok taken the plunge again at trying the political party idea within the Solar Alliance, hopefully it will be a little more controlled this time with both the Government Act 2016 and Political Parties Act 2016 and the changes to SASC..... Only time will tell i suppose.

On the off chance this turns out to be a disaster, can someone provide me with a bomb shelter or something please hahaha

How about instead of just rejecting Bunicken's request every single time we vote on it or at least have the lunar council take a vote.
