Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
[nation=Neo-Icelandic_Commonwealth], or Mr. "Tax is Rape", if you've got a problem with COFN, I ask that you grow some cojones and bring them up to us directly and publicly, not be a kniving bastard and badmouth us privately or with other people. Mmk?

It's not a loophole. That's because this section is intended to deal with Chancellors who are actually absent and not just neglecting their duties. Baxten is still able to access the site often enough to not trigger this section, yet he's too active to lead his cabinet in a weekly meeting? That looks an awful lot like neglection of duties than inactivity and that would fall into impeachment territory not under this section.

My opinion on this matter has been posted on the forums.
Is Au Minbo still on the discord?
Id like to come back as Hungary but have the old Serbian territories too.
Yukona
I just realized that Freid moved to a new region that sucks

So, here's a tad bit we may really want to address before we start talks about this and that.
With an inactive Chancellor, we don't have a method to collect candidates for the next election.
As the Constitution states in Article 8 Section II: "The Chancellor is responsible for recording the candidates for each position in the prelude to an election."
Considering we have an election coming up Friday of next week, we may want to address this thing now as well.
Yukona
With all Justices having weighed in and an official ruling having been made, I can take off my Justice hat and speak informally on the subject.
And say that Unf is right on the money here. To insist that the Supreme Court make determinations of whether an elected official has been active as opposed to active enough is a dangerous precedent to set. This requires Justices to change the basis of their decisions from the objective (i.e. has the official literally logged in within the last x amount of days) to the subjective (i.e. has the official done enough to be properly considered an active public servant when he's been logged in).
When dealing with the subjective, you shouldn't defer to the Courts. An elected official not living up to his mandate as an official elected by the people should be removed by the people, not by the intervention of the Courts.
I've already sent a message to the Supreme Court regarding this just this morning, as one of us serves alongside the Chancellor on the Elections Committee and can therefore provide support in this area.
Jaslandia
Now she might show up, and slap me because I am wrong, but I think Minnie is pretty inactive, in fact I have not seen her in so long I cannot honestly say she is still with us. I think if you wanted to come back onto the map, and play with us my friend, that we could probably get your old territory back. I mean your legacy from it is still ringing true, and no one to my knowledge has claimed it in your absence.

With all due respect, given the wording that this responsibility falls under the Chancellorship, rather than the Elections Committee, I do not believe there is sound Constitutional Rationale here unless you mean you would be deriving these responsibilities from the Chancellorship in some way.
I mean to say that I've initiated the process of having the Elections Committee formed by volunteering my services as the Supreme Court's representative or willingly deferring it to any of my colleagues should they want it instead, and that said person can offer support to the Chancellor if he chooses to provide it. He has been looped in on the same telegram to the Supreme Justice and no power or authority of his has been removed or attempted to be removed, nor has it been otherwise suggested.
Excuse me I'm not the one with the chemical weapons pointed at all capitals in the middle eastern region and has said he's willing to sacrifice his entire nations population to prove a point
Doesn't he still have a puppet here he can use?
I don't know ill have to ask who ever mods the war
To all allies with this guy, please note how much of a wackjob he is.
Solla Ultima
* Looks at the map *
Why would he want to hit Jas, and I's capitals? What have we ever done to him? * Sad face *
Jaslandia
oh sure I'm the wackjob at least I'm not willing to sacrifice millions of lives to prove a point and won't talk about disarmament of your chemical weapons stockpile
Exactly! AND HE'S TRYING TO BLOW ME SKY-HIGH!!!
He's been using it for a while now, so yes.
Uh...you've said as much tho.
Jaslandia
I see what you mean now. Thank you for clarifying.
because he a crazy wackjob bent on bending any nation that does anything he dosent like to his will and fu*king tired of it and what his nation to stop being a thorn in my nations side

The only reason you want me gone is because you want to get back me for having your nation deleted.
Ive asked for you to start a dialog on disarmament of your chemical weapons stockpile but you said I need them and if i believe you will give them up your crazy

I get it.

I am not willing to give them up and you know it.
Christ, is it snowing in the Kongo? It's so white!
Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic, Yukona, Solla Ultima, United Continental States
No its not its because even time I do anything is this region you tell me to watch it or you'll launch missiles at me and your the one who dared me to attack you well heres my response and now you've poked the bear and are about to get fu*ked
because you crave power and if someone challenges you well they have to be annihilated
Yukona
You tried to start a F*CKING EMPIRE!
You could say it was a whitewash.

I've gave up on that idea my nation favors diplomacy unlike some nations
Very much so
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
I'd like to see you try commie. (please note that was entirely satire, and I do not wish to have my nation destroyed via nuclear detonation.)
Yukona
you rather that then peace talks
The government of the DPLRK is predominantly white because of when we were a colony. After our liberation, the white population remained in power; however, integrated with the black Africans when it comes to the economy so the majority of my CEOs and business leaders are black African. The National African Union is 45% black African and the remaining is white so it is possible for the DPLRK to have a black President soon. The ideological paramilitary, the Vanguard Knights of the Unitary Cabal is pretty diverse as well; however, the Generals of the VKUC are White Kongolese and everything from Captain down to private is primarily Black. The same goes for the Armed Forces of the DPLRK.
Jaslandia
quiet you.
Am I having misplaced déjà vu, or has this exact manner of conflict between Solla and TCaDS already happened before? Am I entirely misremembering?!
Jaslandia, Tserra, Yukona, Solla Ultima
I know, I was just poking fun at you :P
Heh, I know. I was just teasing you a little.
Peoples Liberation Republic, Solla Ultima
This one is just an RP not a fight
Yukona
Trust me, this has happened before. Quite a number of times I think.
Am I the only one who receives the exact same issues? A week ago, I dissmised Anybody for Science. Here it is again now
Its only happened once thank you very much and I've learned my lesson and i was mad because you watched me type in my password and i thought i could trust you but i was very wrong
P.S. we go to school together for those who don't know
You should've been more careful.
Peoples Liberation Republic Scary news update. Sounds quite oppressive.
Peoples Liberation Republic, Axeldonia, United Continental States
wow man really your my friend and that was un called for you did it because you know like no one else how to get under my skin but yet you did it
As I said, you should be more careful.
No, that's happened here, too. I think it's entirely randomized of which issue you'll get, but really it should eliminate issues you've already had until it runs the entire cycle of issues.
But, then again, this is a free site. You can only ask for so much in the way of logic.
That, and I wholly believe Berry delights at our annoyance and misfortune.

*Eats hotpockets while watching the exchange* Will there be war? Will there be peace? Will there be nachos? Who knows...
Jaslandia, Solla Ultima
That is the point. My government is changing.
Moldegaard
Actually I kind of do as I brought in a nation who is probably going to be a peacekeeper between us
God I haven't laughed like that in a god da*n long time thanks for that :)
Tserra
Anytime mate.
Solla Ultima
The people and government of Solla Ultima will not accept this "peace" unless it results in the complete disarmament of your chemical weapons
Um actually Kalorn telegrammed me asking for my approval and what a cop out you threaten to start a war of massive proportions and then ask for some one to protect you wow man for all the times you dared my nation to attack you this has to be the saddest attempt you've made at being the quote on quote good guy
Just wanted to say that you all are awesome people and that I love you all. <3
Goodnight. zZ zZ zZ :)

NEWS FLASH
Premier Aleksander D. Coltsov has just announced a temporary neutrality regarding the Solla Ultima-TCADS Conflict. While both powers are attempting to gain the support of the Equestrian Empire, the population is divided. The final verdict will be stated Friday afternoon. Until then, ESSR weaponry and equipment will be supplied through a lens lease program.

In case you pay attention to my news articles, you'll see my government has a hidden secret police force that's catching suspicion. A rally will soon commence opposing an Orwellian society (according to the protesters, that is).
Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic
Would it be possible for our governments to possibly cooperate?
In secret, maybe. Moldegaard has a reputation of sharing research and other positive news, but keeping to itself when it comes to internal issues and regulation.

that is more than enough to me. I would be willingly and quite thrilled to work with your country in secret

Québécois independence, now that's a joke.
When their provincial separatist party pads their platform pamphlets with anti-minority policies that would make Marine Le Pen blush, they kind of ceased being taken seriously.

I was the one who initially raised the point, as in my opinion, the sharp decline we're having is dire. So I suggested a State of Emergency, so that way it can be apparent that the government's focus right now will be on recruitment and reform in that area.
While it may not have been inherently necessary, I thought it to be an appropriate action given the severity of our current numbers and trend.
I think it's more a question of what is a state of emergency/what does it look like?
Do we ration our use of factbooks? Drop off unused political parties at our local donation centre? Refrain from using the Everestopia Turnpike so that it remains open to service vehicles?

the funniest thing about this is assuming we'd name anything after Everest

Oh, I was in the process of applying for a permit to build the Unfallious-Everestopia School of Public Policy and Mutual Animosity before all resources were diverted to address this state of emergency.

Oh my God yes

I'd assume the main rival of the Unfallious-Everestopia School of Public Policy and Mutual Animosity (UESPPMA) would be the Penguania-Percyton Academy of Super Cuteness and Innocence (PPASCI)?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Right you are. The first years of both schools get plushes to commemorate their academic choice: UESPPMA students get a Dalek wearing a Queen Elizabeth wig, and PPASCI students get a penguin wearing a conductor's hat.
There's a friendly game where the frosh of each institution try to steal away the plushes of the other.
