Forestavia, Viva Italia
Excellent. :)
Parakka Northland
So really it is the lc that is holding up legislation..
I want to see the legislature voting for or against stuff in polls.
Right now they are just the judicial branch.
Parakka Northland
Actually we should put up a poll regarding Bunicken embassies in tmc
Forestavia
not my fault you wan't every poll to be 3 days length :P
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
I mean MC
Forestavia
the culture election ends in three hours.
You have the option of using our regional territories and colonies.
Parakka Northland
im not an officer in the backup.
i still don't understand why you appoint everyone who is there an officer either :P
Come over here so that I can appoint you.
I keep those officers appointed so that the region can still run efficiently when I'm not around.
Parakka Northland
You know, in case I forget my password or something like that.
Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Thats cool thank you for the update :)
I would suggest a regional vote given the issues with this particular region
Risk of this turning into a massive argument what would you put in instead or do instead?
Problem was from what i understand that wasnt a prank and he was part or in league with the red fleet
God knowns best talk you minister for Foreign Affairs for further information
Good idea
New Bacon
Unrelated to the above, does anyone know if there are any tools around that track regional officers? abit like the Fact book achieve (http://udl.taijitu.org/wfe_index/)?
What do you mean track?
sort of historic record of officers in a region, when they were appointed etc. Im thinking of trying to put together an historic record of officers within the Solar Alliance but i havent been tracking who has held what office position so i was hoping their might be some sort of tool out there on the web that i havent managed to find
Alistia
I would say there is.I don't know any though

Congrats, [nation=short]Parakka_Northland[/nation] please modify his title. I have also setup the poll for the next order of business.
Alistia, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Parakka Northland, Viva Italia

New Bacon, Republic Of Greater Cuba

New Bacon, Republic Of Greater Cuba

I can't find it in the old polls in TMC, or MC. When was it done?
New Bacon
go to www.nationstates.net/page=polls and search for it.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
There is no poll in there (TMC or MC) in the past 2 months about any candidacy poll regarding the a Judicial Council or a Lunar Council. If you still know exactly where it is and can link it, please do so.
The current election poll is alright, for now. However, if you still cannot present a candidacy poll, and someone steps and say that they want to run for the council seat as well, then this poll will have to be deleted and we need to restart the process.
Civilisunio
Post self-deleted by Mugwop.
Hmmmmmm, not quite sure if that's a legit move to squeeze it into the candidacy poll of another position, but I guess it's fine for now.
It was hardly obvious that one needed to select this to be eligible for the LC election!
For those running for Grand Duke (e.g. Vice delegate) please can you send me and post on the RMB why you think you are the best candidate.
Thank you
Republic Of Greater Cuba
[nation=short]Alistia[/nation] and [nation=short]Au912 Mystical Council consultant[/nation]
I would suggest that if the current Lunar Council president isn't happy with how the LC candidates where drawn up that you redo the poll, whether here or in Mystical Council. I'm also tempted to say he should be organising the Lunar Council polls, once [nation=short]Forestavia[/nation] says when the election takes place
I say whatever it is that region doesn't want to hear, but needs to hear it anyway. And I do my best to keep things fair, even if fair is not in my benefit. That's all I got to say, if you have questions, ask away.
Parakka Northland
I was talking about a situation in which we can't have a regional poll. Not of any particular time embassy. We were just recommended to join the TUDB. As of now no request has been said.
Parakka Northland
[nation=short]alistia[/nation] please include Arunachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir as a part of India. Its like including Alaska as a part of Russia
Civilisunio
The Mystical Council is truly great, is it not? But we must keep it great by having good leaders, leaders who are experienced in leadership and the art of foreign diplomacy and internal affairs, and very few people usually have these talents, but I'm one of the few that do.
I plan on making many laws, almost to the point that there will never be a day without a proposal. "What will these laws be about Cuba?" you might ask, well, before I answer that, I must ask you this "What exactly do YOU want?". All law proposals will be based on people's wants and needs in the Empire. Democracy proudly and faithfully runs this region, and I tend to keep it that way, no matter what the cost. I also do plan on with Parakka's permession increasing diplomatic relations with our allies to help us maintain a proud and healthy image on NationStates.
We are in times of political clout. To keep us safe, strong, and happy, vote for me, Republic Of Greater Cuba, for Vice Delegate.
Alistia, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
What laws will you pass in your in your first 10 days?
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Parakka Northland
Thank you both for making your case. I'll think of some questions to ask you based on what you have said.
I have also sought the advice of both The Prime Minister and The Lunar Council in regards to the candidates and their advice will also play a baring in my decision
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Seems very vauge and putting out a proposal EVERY day seems much like spam and is over doing it. The foundation is good and unique, but the house is the same.
Alistia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
Well, we can't get out of that house
Civilisunio
Yeah, saying you will put a proposal out every day is basically a real life campaign promise that will never happen.
And what if the people don't ask you to form any legislation? You need to make new legislation even if the people don't go to you about it.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Thats the point. I have a sh*tload of ideas like my T.R.I.D.E.N.T proposal and others like it
What is that? Is it like some "cool" acronym that you're trying to use as your selling point or is it an actual practical thing? Also, as others pointed out, your promises seems undeliverable and vague, so this is a very good question that you need to answer to clear the air.
Alistia, Civilisunio
[nation=short]Emforia[/nation], [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation]
Before I vote, I would like you two to tell me why you are running for office, so that I can make an educated decision.
Civilisunio
To bring the justice to the lunar council and bring the people there to in my presence. Its vague, but its true and i think its what we nred.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Look at Civ's here below, it's vague and so is mine, plus Civ even says so. Almost every political promise is vague because you can only see if you can do it when that bridge comes
I asked Civ [B]why[/B] he wanted to run, and he gave an adequate answer. I did not not ask him [B]what[/B], but I will ask him now. [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation], as part of the Judicial Council (who is of course more responsible for laws than any other branch) do you have any laws in mind to propose, if so, what are they?
You Cuba made your first speech however like you got a clear plan and a whole list of proposals running through your mind. So I too ask again,
Otherwise your speech sounds like cheap political talk that holds no weight, so please, answer the question and elaborate.
Civilisunio
More embassies, plus I was thinking about a new alliance if the current one we are applying to somehow dissolved itself in the very far future from political pressure and other variables. The proposal is that if TUBT (if I am naming the alliance correctly) fails, to start up a new one here in TMC called The Rational Institution of Defensive Entities for a New Tomorrow (TRIDENT) or as you said some cheap political sellpoint
Okay, so you want to tackle foreign affairs issues. Now what exactly is TRIDENT? What is its purpose and what does it do? So far it just seems like a plan about something that we may or may not use in the distant future, on the unlikelihood that what we currently have fails; it brings nothing of practicality right now.
And these are not laws and proposals, these are only foreign relations. You made it look like you are overflowing with ideas about laws to integrate. So what are the proposals that you had in mind?
Alistia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
I feel like your trying to interrogate me and trying make me say something stupid that you can use against me later on
and using your little "freedom of speech thing" and basically trying to, in different perspectives, humiliating me on the rmb by making it look like I can bring nothing useful to the region
Create freedom laws mostly (Freedom of Information, etc.) I also want to focus on cases alot ( vague because can't be on phone at school.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Like Freedom of the Press and such?
Civilisunio
Yes as Well as the government must release information you will see.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Transparency
Civilisunio
I don't need to do anything. You have already incremented yourself because you made it obvious that your talk about having a "sh*tload of ideas" is nothing but cheap talk and you have no idea about any practical laws or proposal to submit, otherwise you would have made them obvious from the start. So far however [B]we are still waiting on you to answer this simple and clear question[/B]:
And yet despite how simple this question is, because it seems you have no real plan or idea about regional laws to implement, you're incapable of answering it.
Could you give more details on freedom of information? I personally support that idea and would like to hear more about your take on it.
Alistia, Civilisunio
I telegrammed them to Kazukame, there you happy?
Absolutely not, why not share your answer with the rest of us? You are after all serving the whole region and not just 1 person. So let me ask you the question myself, and I wish you answer it here so that the whole region can see it: What laws will you pass in your first 10 days?
Alistia, Civilisunio
Yeah [nation=short]republic_of_greater_cuba[/nation] just answer the question, you said you would make a new law everyday, so its not that much to ask for you to share 2-3 of those ideas.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Civilisunio
Here is what I am planning to do
Propose a anti infection act on the region that will help us during Z Day. It will state that if any nation that has indicated its intention to ignore the crisis by evacuating and shutting down government operations will forfeit citizen's protections under constitutional law. Furthermore any national government who cannot be contacted within five hours after the beginning of an attack will be presumed to have collapsed, and will also forfeit protection. Such nations may be ejected if deemed necessary to prevent the further spread of infection.
Making a Treason Act, such as having a trial for nations by the LC for belonging to a subversive organization or engaging in counter-revolutionary activities and/or providing aid and comfort to our enemies
And finally, a Citizenship Act, making nations within The Mystical Council are granted the privilege of citizenship within the Empire. Citizenship will defined as having a World Assembly nation within The Mystical Council, endorsing both the Emperor and Delegate nations, and a declaration of allegiance to the region. The government will be able to reserve the right to grant exceptions to World Assembly membership on a case by case basis and similarly reserves the right to reject any application that is deemed incomplete, untruthful, or otherwise might compromise the security of the region.
After that, I will wait to see until the fog fades away and see whats next avaiable
This region prides intself on people being able to endorse whoever they want, and i don't see a reason for a citizen act when we have a fraud act that already shows who is a citizen.
a teason act is a good idea,
and the majority of the government of tmc, including the emperor, have said that on z day we will all embrace the horde.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Parakka Northland
I am okay about the Z day horde, I just didn't know we were embracing them, sorry
Alistia
There is a lot of suppressed comments alot of the time and I really want the freedom of information to be relayed wether its threw the newspaper or the rmb I Think MOST things should be able to be said except hate speech. Also, I belive thE government needs to tell us everything rather than what they want to circulate threw detailed reports and what they have gathered. Its sounds weird because I am at school at the time of writing this and I am not allowed to mind you.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
I concur. The citizen act is horrible and the treason act is... well results will vary depending on it's execution.
I like this a lot. I have always been a proponent of never suppressing what the people of the region say, even if I don't like it. I will vote for you.
please specify what information the government is holding that you would like to know?
and i support rmb suppression sometimes, even if my post is suppressed, we get out of hands sometimes.
Civilisunio
Wow this election has more mud-slinging and attacks than Clinton vs trump
so true
Viva Italia
for secretary delegate yea
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Viva Italia
I'll have another factbook for you soon.I have the colors and nation links dome I just need to get links.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=viva_italia/detail=factbook/id=711421
Currently we are not applying to TUBT till a region poll has been created that gives the government permission from the regions members to negotiate our membership. At that point it will be put to the region and then if agreed an alliance document will be drawn up
Some of this had merit some of it I personally wouldn't support
--------------------------------------
Unrelated but I also had a telegram from [nation=short]Lenlyvit[/nation] which reads as follows:-
Hello, I'm Lenlyvit! I would like to extend an offer for you to join our mutual aid pact. If you could let me know either way, or if you have questions, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Governer of the Fnr Defense Association
I don't know what people's opinions are of the above ^^ but I see we are opening an embassy with this region and if we don't know more by then about before the creation completes I will be cancelling the embassy. I have messaged him for more information.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Come on, that yellow color is awful and you know it.
Alistia
Yeah we need a lot more details on this.
Parakka Northland
To [nation=short]Mugwop[/nation] and [nation=short]Republic of Greater Cuba[/nation]. Thank you both for your responses, I have 4 questions I would like you to answer. Once I have an answer I will consider your pitches, Prime Minister and Lunar Council Presidents opinions and your answers to these questions in my decision.
Question 1:- what makes you the best candidate for the job?
Question 2:- what do you think is needed to make this region better?
Question 3:- This region prides itself on democracy and equality even if we don't all get along. So how would you maintain this?
Question 4:- How do you judge what's fair and why?
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Can we change the yellow text please as it's really hard to read
Alistia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
Seems like [nation=short]kazukame[/nation] should handle it?
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Okay sure thing.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Parakka Northland
And the factbook he copied isn't even accurate...
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Parakka Northland
I'm happy for him todo so, but I would like to be kept in the loop about events
Alistia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
1. I always want to serve my region with pride. Ever since my accident in Bunicken, and NCO, I have been trying to make up for the damage I caused then, and as Duke I want to give my best effort to bring the goodness about of my heart to the people.
2. I do think us becoming more active in the field of raiding and defending to help us boost our numbers. We must use The Battle Guard as an essential tool in the development and protection of our region; culturally and politically. Without a military made up by the people, we could possibly lose our right to sovereignty and self determination.
3. I do agree my my opponent Mugwop on the right of free speech. No one outside of government likes to have their right to free speech taken away from them when they are ruled harshly under the guise of a utopian system. The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people.
4. What's fair is that we are open to all ideological views and goals, regardless of our own. What is fair to one citizen may seem unfair to another. And what seems unfair to many, may offer opportunities to create regional-wide change. It is important to remember the importance of fairness in applying rules and laws, fighting for changes in rules, laws, behavior or current issues and treating others with respect and tolerance at all times.
Parakka Northland
Thank you for answering my question. However, when reading answers 3 & 4 you seem to skirting around the aswers to those questions. I don't think what you have put isn't relevant but neither is it the answer I was seeking
1. I get straight to the point and I don't give vague promises. If I think something is right, I will say it even if it doesn't seem to be the popular opinion at first, and I will fight for it until a better opinion is presented or the region through a legitimate democratic process turns me down by showing evidence that it is in fact not what the region wants. In short, I will fight for what is right for the region even if it's not what is right to keep me in office.
2. I think we focus a lot more than we should on the government of the region, and much less than we should on the region itself. That's why we should work on engaging more people in the region and finding ways to connect with them. It's not an easy task, I know, but it is a necessary one.
3. We need to make sure that we see each other on equal footing. Sometimes we forget to do that and it hurts the government and the region. So everyone deserves their basic rights, and we must always do our best to follow and respect our laws. For example I see sometimes that we cut corners in procedures to save time or effort, we must not do such behavior.
4. Fair is relative, what matters is the popular opinion of the region. Sometimes my own opinion is different than the popular opinion of the region, I will try to give an argument for my opinion, if the region agrees with it, then that's that. If however I fail to make my opinion the popular one, I will respect the region's opinion and take a step back. That's what I think fair is.
Parakka Northland
Sorry Delegate Parakka
They are not. I just want a responsive and true government rather than what the United States is doing at the moment *Cough Emails and taxes*.
I said hate speech. Rather than that people were born with the ability to speak, why not let them use it? People need to be able to debate, argue, laugh, make jokes, etc. This is a common place were anybody should be able to say anything that is appropriate and after that it's just oppressing.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
No need to appologise, your welcome to attempt the questions again if you wish. Though for the record what you did say was good and wasn't irrelevant to the question it just didn't answer the whole question.
Ok guys for your benefit this, tomorrow will be when I announce my decision. If you have any supporting statements or any thing else you wish to add then you have till midnight tonight Uk time to provide said statements. After that I will base my decision on what's been said etc
Civilisunio
Hello everyone!
What have we been talking about for today?
Any new issues, or proposals I need to know about?
Republic Of Greater Cuba
No, our rmb is not a place for intense emotional debate. People can do they in tg's of off site, we don't need to encourage or sponsor it.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Civilisunio
We don't need to encourage or sponsor it technically. Why do it someplace else when you want to show everyone your ideas and stuff and why yours is better?
