Region: The Mystical Council
As he watched the results come in his Harold Quanooni's fingers tapped nervously. He was preparing to take over as High Council Leader. The region's votes were broadcast throughout the region. Support for the A-1 was increasing....

*coughs loudly and glances at the polls*
New Bacon
Looks like I stand corrected.
Malcholm
[spoiler=32]32. The Delegate may create a cabinet of members (or ministers) by appointing nations to various positions. The cabinet may consist of as many nations and positions as the Delegate wishes. The Delegate has the authority to decide which nations to bestow these powers upon and what powers each cabinet official will have.[/spoiler]
Alas, I've found my first constitutional qualm! I have no issue with the Delegate formally establishing a cabinet, however it'd be troublesome to allow the Delegate to give them whatever powers they choose. The largest issue is that Delegate could appoint a cabinet that completely ursups the Lunar Council and Sentagon. What's the point of elected positions if an anarchist takes office and gives everyone every regional power available? Behind this seemingly innocent resolution hides a sinister, looming danger. What's stopping the Delegate from creating a 'Solar Council' that undermines what we strive for?!
As the incumbent President of the Lunar Council, I'd like to initiate the push for a more controlled approach to what the Delegate's cabinet can do. The first step would be to lay down constitutional addenda that restricts one of two things: the number of nations allowed to serve on the Delegate's cabinet, or the specific powers that can be granted to members of the cabinet.
OOC: We finally see some attrition!

In Character:
High Councillor Rock Silverton slammed his fist into the table. "This proposal will make a mockery of our region's constitution!"
He turned to an advisor. "Any word on the whereabouts of Taharqa and that rabbit?"
"None, sir."
"Well, I think it's time to team up with Dictator Simpson. We must focus our efforts."
The Advisor leaned over and whispered. "I know someone who can make fire with their hands who is also searching for them. His name is Zuko Burnsalot."
The Advisor was also an undercover agent for Forestavian Intelligence. Jackie Black, who was the head of Forestavian Intelligence had no idea that one of her own agents was also on the hunt for Taharqa and Oakton.
--------------
Simpson's Office phone began to ring and the caller id recognized it as an official government call from Forestavia.
----------------
Forestavian Intelligence Secretary's Office-
Jackie Black received report of yet another raid on Dark Stars but this time there was an interesting connection tracing back to The Mystical Council. Dark Stars was raided by Star Wars Battlefront. It was only a matter of time before one of The Mystical Council's embassy regions would declare war on another. "It would be wise to remain neutral, Secretary."
Black looked at the report, "Except that New Bacon is a well-known affiliate of the Battlefront. One of our own nations has attacked one of our embassy regions."
The agent thought for a moment. "But nothing illegal has been done. There are no existing laws on the books concerning our region's relationship with other embassy regions."
"I know. Unfortunately, you are right. We shall wait and see how our country's politicians handle this bombshell of a situation." She rubbed her forehead in irritation.
She called Kellywing after sending the report to him, "The eyes of the world will be on the High Council. I bet you're glad your term is almost up."
"We will tread very carefully," was all he could say.
Malcholm
Star Wars Battlefront helped in the raid actually. Also [region=pandemonium] is under the direct control of Star Wars Battlefront.
The dark stars region was actually raided by New Wolf Order
Pandemonium yes that's ours.
Hmm..you're getting the job done alright, but I wouldn't be able to tell who conducted the raid if you hadn't mentioned it in the WFB or RMB of the region's you hit. I say you should get yourself a battle flag! Something to fly high in the sky upon completion! It'd definetly help with name recognition.
New Bacon
OOC - Excellent catch! :)

A speech from the region's Acting Delegate Rock Silverton:
"Today, the President of the Lunar Council has found something very wrong with our region's constitution. There is a loophole of sorts that gives the Delegate way too much power. I am... looking forward to working with the President to come up with a replacement for section 32. We cannot have a Solar Council or any such nonsense. We are a proper government! I will be meeting with the Council President shortly."
Malcholm
Agreed that the delegate has a lot of EXTREME power.
Oakplumington
Malcholm's Ambassador to the Lunar Council on the floor of Sentagon [1 vote]
"..and that's where its entirely necessary to give the President these powers! Take it down to the sheer numbers. As if stands, there are seven people who represent us through elected office; one is the Delegate, five are the Lunar Council, and the last is Sentagon's President. The President should have these powers because he is an equal to these people. Not only are they elected solely by the people of this region; not the Delegate, and not the Lunar Council; they are the voice who sceams loudest when we, the Lunar Council, screw up. It is my opinion that one could say that they are the most powerful of any of the elected officials; not through sheer power alone, but by popularity. The President of Sentagon achieves their position through a popular vote. Its not like the Delegate, who could change at a moments notice. They are chosen to represent every nation who doesn't have the opportunity to directly change how the government operates. This is why we believe that the President of Sentagon should be granted the power to modify border policy and regional appearance. They should hold the same powers invested in the Lunar Council President and the Delegate. It would effectively eliminate the duopoly of power that currently exerts itself over our great region."
The ambassador takes in his first breath.
"Hence, I place Malcholm's vote as Yea."
New Bacon, Oakplumington
The Forestavian representative threw some gum in his mouth and said, "Well, uh, indeed that, Ambassador, is a uh, a um, good argument." He chewed the gum thoughtfully while standing at the podium. "I suppose *chew* *chew* the balance of power is important to consider. And it [I]would[/I] increase the power and might of Sentagon. I realize that I'm not an official member of Sentagon, but I maintain," He looked around suspiciously while counting on his fingers. "...that six nations elected by the region ought to be good and plenty. And furthermore, how long will it be before Sentagon asks for even MORE power? Huh? This all started with that Anti-Interregional Party and now we have the Left Conglomerate picking up where the AIP left off. Now maybe- maybe we ought to consider this for a second. Let's say we give the President of Sentagon full authority. I think the good Ambassador's argument is reasonable. But we should make good sure we don't give anything more to Sentagon."
The Forestavian representative was clearly flustered.
"We've got to stop the madness! Our region will fall into chaotic insanity. My country believes that the constitution is perfectly fine the way it is."
Then he caught himself and added quickly, "Except for section 32, that is. And that's an easy fix." He started scratching his arms nervously. He slithered over to his seat trying to avoid looking at anyone.
Malcholm
Forgetsalot mourns the loss of OctopusX.
"Today, our region is mournin' da loss of a sea critter with bunches of smarts. Dee tenth Octopus has varnished from our oceanic waters forever. And now lads and lassies, we take a moment to honor our deep sea critters."
Forgetsalot crinkles his face up and holds his breath during the moment of silence.
*Catches breath*
"And now, I must be gettin' back to me submarine. Cause I'ma capt'n these days. Be keepin' a look out for a sumtink in da waters. It could be me! I even hav' a portrait o' capt'n Misley hangin' behind me desk. I totes rules da seas! It'sa da reason why I be speakin' in hundreds a differential accents in da same parafograph."
He suddenly lost his balance and quickly grabbed the podium. However, his weight also destabilized the podium causing one of the most ridiculous scenes ever witnessed. It seemed that he and the podium were dancing for a few short seconds. Then suddenly the wood cracked beneath Forgetsalot and the dancing podium sending both falling beneath the stage. There was some kind of grunt. Then he mumbled something about "savin' marshmallows for dee end of time".

Hmmmm thank you for establishing an embassy with us. I did not know we could post in other regional message boards. I'm new to nationstates.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington
What's so mystical about this region? Oakplumington?
New Bacon
If you have any questions feel free to ask any of us. Welcome to Nationstates! :)
I love the embassy communication too because it makes things so much easier. I'm glad they created it.
Haha! Not exactly sure yet. Originally, this region was going to be completely religiously-based with particular focus on mystical traditions. But that didn't work out so I started bringing RP into this region. At this point we're sort of a constitutional warzonish anarchical region with RP and R/D.

The last proposal did not pass any branch of government. I'll put another one up soon. Anybody have a desire to tackle anything first?
I think the constitutional stuff should be first priority personally. I'm going to take a close look at section 32 over the next couple days and think about some solutions to our constitutional quandary. Throw your ideas up on the RMB. Should we allow the Delegate to appoint their own cabinet after the Lunar Council approves the position? Should we allow the Delegate the power to appoint their own cabinet officials only in the event of an "extreme emergency"? How strictly or loosely should we define "extreme emergency"? Or should we do nothing about it and allow the Delegate and the other two branches of government to duke it out through legislation?
If the Delegate bypasses the legislative process via cabinet positions (as happens in real life) should we just leave it up to the Lunar Council and Sentagon to reassert their authority through legislation? Or should we act now and alter section 32? Lots to think about...The possibilities are endless....
New Bacon, Malcholm
This is a very excellent post so I'm going to repost it to refresh everyone's memory what the issue is with section 32.
Malcholm
I went away for a couple days and I'm the delegate, hory shizzle doctor jones when did this happen.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Well Dark Stars is no longer in possession of Vedan as the NWO took it over and leaving Alpha Wolf as the New Founder.
That's the magic of our regional government system. We went a few days without a Delegate and I got tired of being the Acting Delegate. So I brought my WA back over. (Who knows how long it will last!) Congratulations! :)

Zuko Burnsalot discovered that Plum Oakton and Antonio Taharqa were travelling together. "Plum Oakton would be hard to miss..." *reads newspaper* "...What's this? NWO has taken over Dark Stars long time ally of The Mystical Council...bla bla bla....it is sad to see the region go... Links to Star Wars Battlefront as well as NWO..."
They had traveled to and from Paradise Place discovering that it no longer existed. "Blasted maps!" Fire burned through the paper. "Uncle, we will find them travelling in Star Wars Battlefront!"
"Well, nephew, looks like you're going to have to trade in your navy ship for a space ship."
"We have to avenge the memory of Vedan. Then my honor will be restored." He opened a cupboard containing a third of a bottle of Alistian rum. One of the last known bottles....

Is the R/D option limited to embassied regions?
Oakplumington
1. We don't have any established precedent or rules guiding R/D in this region [I]yet[/I] so ultimately every nation retains the right to invade or defend whoever they want without any consequences from the regional government here at this present time.
2. Now...hehehe, what I recommend is this:
Having embassies with another region usually indicates a formal relationship of some kind. I'm of the mindset that while individual nations hold the freedom to invade or defend any region they wish, it's preferable and more honorable to defend embassy regions and/or to invade regions who do not have embassies with The Mystical Council. But this is just my opinion and is not regional policy. Again no law has been passed really addressing R/D.
3. For me personally? I have a code: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=western_forestavia/detail=factbook/id=main
4. I also have a draft that I sort of forgot about for a few days. I think it would be really cool to give both raiders and defenders a training ground to practice their skills. I think we could be that training ground. So I'm working on a draft but I think it might be sort of hard to get passed by our regional government so I'm taking my time with it considering the various perspectives. There will always be people in any region who are completely against raiding, then there will be those completely against defending, then there will be the people who just want to live in peace and not have to worry about any R/D activity at all. So it's going to be kind of tricky. I think we're all pretty open-minded though. This is what I have so far from a few days ago.

Whatcha cookin' over there, Misley? Why don't you come over and have some rum with us, comrade? Even a sleeping puppet has a right to wake up every once in a while. :)
Malcholm
I can feel it. I know there is a raid coming soon. Everything has become still and silent. It's been nearly forty days since our last raid. Activity is dying down. This just seems so familiar. This is what happened last year. I remember we had a tag raid in February. Do you feel that tingling sensation? That's the magic of Christmas future. A future that no one can know or predict.

I think I'm in an odd mood today. ;)

I've been caught in the whirlwind of work and school starting again. Once I get a feel for my schedule it won't be hard to pick back up, but I'm still in that in-between stage.
That, and I got a taste for Fallout 4. It's pretty great.
It really was interesting that it got taken over so quickly. I didn't even realize that I was on their radar.
I sent this to [nation=short]Panda Defense Corps 4[/nation] in hopes of stirring the pot at least a little, but they haven't logged in since the hours before I sent the TG.

I haven't been on all that much either lately. I've been checking in at odd times because I've been busy.

One of our embassies has been dealing with The Red Fleet, also. If anyone is curious check out the Conservative League's RMB.

The Seventeenth Delegate of The Mystical Council
17. Netherfar: 1/4/2016 - Present
Netherfar ascended to the Delegacy in The Mystical Council.
New Bacon
I guess I should mention we got rid of the Interregional Council shortly after you ceased to exist. The third branch of government is now called "Sentagon". The Int. Council had too many flaws.
Oh yeah, and feel free to participate in the polls during your stay. I'll be putting another one up soon.
This is what we're going to vote on next.
New Bacon
I'll put the poll up later tonight. Unless someone else beats me to it.
After the Appearance Authority Act is either passed or defeated, we will move on to Lunar Council elections. The full moon is coming. Last time, I did a 7 - 7 format (7 day sign up and 7 day election) which is over doing it I think. So about a month ago I altered our working constitution to require only 5 days for the election. I'm thinking 4 days for sign up plus 5 days for the actual election. That will cut down election season from two weeks to 9 days. I think that's more reasonable. It won't drag the election out so much. Last time we did it, it was almost borderline boring because of how long it took. It's just a matter of finding that sweet spot; long enough to keep people engaged but not SO long people lose interest.

New Bacon
*Link to constitution for everyone's convenience>>> http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=442427
I think I know what we can do with section 32 of the constitution.
Option #1:
What if we add the following to the end of section 32: "If the Delegate is suspected of abusing his/her power by using appointments to overrule the will of the region, then any single nation on the Lunar Council may issue a declaration accusing the Delegate of executive overreach. This puts into effect the following process. Any future cabinet member that particular Delegate wishes to appoint must be approved by a simple majority of the Lunar Council. Any cabinet members already appointed may be removed by a simple majority of the Lunar Council. If the Lunar Council is itself abusing its power, then Sentagon may step in and restore the Delegate's authority with a simple majority vote."
Option #2:
Do nothing.
(a) In the event that the Delegate would abuse their power via cabinet appointments, it would theoretically be the responsibility of WA nations throughout the region to elect a new Delegate or alternatively for nations to temporarily move WA status here to this region to bring about the change they desired. (b) A simple majority vote from Sentagon and the Lunar Council would be enough to politically to stop the Delegate in their tracks, for example they could vote on legislation to dismiss any/all members from the Delegate's cabinet and the Delegate would have to comply or else face the judicial wrath of the Lunar Council and/or loss of endorsements.
So therefore, there is no need to alter section 32 at all. If the nations allow it, a dictatorship may develop in this region. But if the nations hold the Delegate's feet to the fire in instances of executive overreach, then freedom will flourish. I think there are enough safety valves built in to just leave 32 the way it is but adding option one to the constitution could give the Lunar Council an interesting edge. I would be cool with doing nothing or passing option 1.
So on the one hand yes - that's definitely 100% true. But on the other hand, the Delegate only has as much power as the nations here allow him/her to use. If there is apathy in the other two branches, the Delegate will get away with a lot more. Sometimes that can be good too because abuse of power causes all kinds of activity and controversy in government. That's why I love it when we get raided. A raid symbolizes the ultimate abuse of power and usually wakes everybody up. What is the first thing residents ask when we get raided? "Should we do something about the raids? Should we ban the raiders?" The answer is both yes and no depending on what your beliefs are and where your loyalties lie and ultimately in how the regional government responds.
New Bacon, Malcholm
I think we should construct embassies with them. I don't have the authority to approve, though. I am a member of Sentagon.
IC -
Forestavia submits an official request to the Lunar Council and the Delegate to approve embassies. Under the constitution any of these nations can act unilaterally to build embassies. Plus, there were all kinds of smiley face stickers on it - almost as if to psychologically encourage the embassy approval. Or maybe Foregetsalot intervened somehow....
It looks like we might lose a few nations in the future. I'm going to keep this puppet here for awhile, until the regional population stabilizes.
New Bacon
Taharqa and Plum Oakton still talk with one another while hiding from Dictator Simpson even though he called off the search. Taharqa hires Forgetsalot who is a Forestavian citizen to the New Bacon Dept. of Education as the Chief of Staff. Knowsalot, his brother, got appointed as one of the justices of the New Bacon Supreme Court. Dictator Simpson gets tried in the Senate Chamber of the New Bacon Regional Congress while Taharqa is away.

Yeah, I found out from the Conservative League that apparently he was altering telegrams and basically lying to the moderators about information. I'm glad to be rid of the submarine group if that's the kind of person they were. We don't want those kinds of nations here anyway.
Malcholm
Running out of space in the WFBE.
Discussion/Debate topics:
*RP legislation (same tech level etc as The Greater Holy Isles?)
*Bungee Jumping Legislation
*War Games? Training of R/D troops
*Section 32 of the Constitution
This is sort of a State of the Forestavia/Mystical Council update.
It looks like were going to lose a few more nations over the next few days. Today I visited the National Federation and Heroes Rise. The visits were very brief. I am actually looking for a region that is kind of like this one except larger - but not too large. I am very impressed with both of these embassies, though. They seem to promote a high level of freedom. Not quite as anarchical as we are. They were very welcoming.
I'm currently visiting Space. This region does not have a founder and appears to be protected by Sirius as well as The Chirichellan Hegemony Of Avathar.
Honestly, I'm a little burned out with RP. Plus things have really slowed down in UTNA. I was getting ready to start another RP in The Greater Holy Isles, but I think I'm going to hold off. I'm currently dabbling in raiding. I'm also continuing some defending missions. Not sure where the future is going to lead me at this point. I'm going to continue to maintain this region for whoever stops by. It appears that we have something unique here. As long was we have WA nations here, I'll keep my WA here as well. But I'm thinking of taking my WA on an adventure. If our government shrinks to the point where we don't have enough nations to fill the government positions, I think I'll take the opportunity to move my WA out. I want to finish some R/D stuff up first though.
Enough about me. Things are really slowing down over here in this region. If you're considering moving to another region I would like to take an opportunity to suggest moving to The Greater Holy Isles (A new RP is getting ready to begin over there), United Territories Of North America (things are very slow there - if you want the challenge of bringing a region back to life let me know), Heroes Rise (Just visited today. This is a friendly region with a lot of freedom), The Democratic Union Of Planets (a defense is ongoing and the region will remain under Forestavian protection. ORCA is also helping with that defense - we also need help building RP in the region), and there are tons of other embassy regions that we have.
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. This region is not closing. And we are not merging with anyone. I just want to give you options if you're looking for a bit more activity.
The Mystical Council is nearly a year and a half old. Old by some standards, young by other standards. If you have any suggestions for keeping this region alive, feel free to share. If you would like to recruit, make sure you follow the site rules. Members of the Lunar Council, I just want to take an opportunity to encourage you to use your powers. Feel free to change the flag, tags, and appearance of the World Factbook Entry. Embassies... You have the power! Don't be afraid to use it! This is not my region it's our region!
I hope everyone is doing well. We're already halfway through January.
New Bacon, Malcholm
I have a crazy idea. What if our region declared war on another region just for a change of pace? It might help.....
You know regions grow and then they slow down; it's common.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I know that. I'm just burnt out from RP. And I'm not sure where to go next. I feel like I'm reaching for ideas.
Could be a mood though, too. I have this urge to just go scouting around and exploring the world. I wanted to share with everyone what I was thinking. My post does look really depressing now that I look at it again though. I might have to revise my post. ;)
New Bacon, Malcholm
Thanks for the encouragement New Bacon.
New Bacon
Passed! We passed our first law! I can't believe it! It worked! I'll update laws dispatch.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Well, our first law under the new system with Sentagon. It's official. New Bacon has authority over appearance.
New Bacon
I'm getting over excited. It isn't official until the poll ends in a few hours.
I'm going to indulge my flighty impulses. I'm temporarily going on a WA adventure/tour. This means that my vote in Sentagon is now only worth 1. I'll bring it back in a few weeks. Freedom!
Please note - my vote in Sentagon will only be worth 1.
Our region may be shrinking but I finally have a plan. If I become Acting Delegate, I am going to take this region in an entirely new direction. We will still work on the constitution we've been working on - that won't change. But we are also going to begin building embassies with warzones, warzone-like regions, Founderless regions, Defender Organizations, and Raiding Organizations. I'm going to rest from RP for awhile and recharge my RP muscles.
Malcholm
Probably for the best, I've never been so evil as when I've had all this power.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Haha! ;)
I've got some ideas for the future, Netherfar. I'm am certain you will return to the delegacy in the future. I'm going to be ripping apart the internal machinery, grinding things up, and pulverizing them. I'm going to temporarily take the lead as Acting-Delegate. I think I know what may help with the great death sweeping across this part of the world. We need at least seven nations for a functional regional government. Beyond that the rest is just gravy. But we have to have at least 7.
Hopefully, if the plan is successful, some of our embassy regions will benefit also. I would like to try to provide some references to UTNA, Star Wars Battlefront, and The Greater Holy Isles as well as some others.
I'm going to name you Vice-Delegate and you will be part of the cabinet. Unless you would like a seat on the Lunar Council.
The first actions as Acting Delegate will include embassy construction and Cabinet appointments.
I will be proposing legislation to protect certain embassies from being cancelled.
Previously the Lunar Council passed a law granting appearance authority to New Bacon.
*Today I sign the New Bacon Appearance Act into law.*
It's official
Malcholm
Welcome to the region! :)
I have added you to Sentagon. Our region is sort of in a death spiral at the moment. But we're turning a page right now. I'm trying out some new ideas.
Would you be interested in running for a spot on the Lunar Council? Lunar Council elections are coming up in a few days.
You also have the freedom to launch a campaign for the Delegacy at any time.
Excellent! I am pleased to announce that so far we have two candidates running for office: AU912 and The IDEA OF REVENGE.
Your welcome! :)
I saw that. By the time I wrote that whole post you had voted. I think we're on the same wavelength.
The Idea Of Revenge
Oops, I just realized I violated section 9 of the constitution! I will remove border control from Netherfar.
New Bacon
I'd never really thought to do any form of recruiting, is it really effective?
I haven't really done much myself because I'm not the most charismatic person.
I guess I never answered this, huh.
My trip was awesome :) I've gotta say that the most notable part was when this stereotypical surfer-dude-man that taught me how to surf. The eight mile hell-hike on the Kalalau Trail and Kayaking on whatever the river is that runs through the island were definitely close seconds though.
Also, I ate like 12 boxes of Botan rice candy.
Also, they actually had chocolate Toaster Strudels in stock. I thought they went extinct like 10 years ago. They were limited edition and apparently can't be found friggen anywhere :<
Oakplumington
wahh, the idea of revenge was founded and then it ceases to exist?
well i do make funny appearances every once and a while
Oakplumington
I'm really passive when it comes to recruiting. I'm going to try to expand our embassies and relationships with them. A few people may discover us that way. I usually just delete recruitment messages when I get them so in my opinion I think that they are ineffective.
Surfing! Awesome! Glad to hear it was fun. And 8 miles is no joke either. If I ever visited Hawaii, I would have to pay a visit to the volcanic lava flow. From a distance, of course just to see it in person.
Chocolate toaster strudels??!!! I didn't even know they made them. I've been looking for Crispy M&M's. They used to be in a blue package and then they came out with Pretzel and every time I see Pretzel M&M's I do a double take. I can't find them anywhere either.
That's crazy! What happened? Maybe, there's a moral to the story. Like... maybe revenge isn't such a good idea after all.
New Bacon, Malcholm
I added a time zones link to the info center. I know I can't be the only person who has trouble with time out there.
