This an open letter regarding the vacant Minister of Justice seat. Please consider this statement my application for the position, and CV of sorts.

I am relatively new here. I have not held a prior post in this region. I consider these advantages for a good, impartial MoJ. A significant amount of regional discussion contains tension driven by past events and former members. I was not a part of these events. I have no conflicts of interest. I am not bogged down by past scars, broken promises, et cetera.

Furthermore, I have demonstrated my commitment to near-daily RMB activity. I strive to be courteous and thoughtful, but I do not hesitate to speak up for my principles. Again, any good MoJ needs to be able to walk this line.

The COFN Constitution requires the MoJ to serve as both the chief law enforcement officer and chief legal counsel to the government. As Minister, my agenda will be:

- The (re)establishment of a independent Constabulary. The Constables will work hand-in-hand with the Discord Monitors to promote and protect civil discussion.

- To be responsive to the needs of the people in litigating Constitutional issues before the Courts.

- As Chief Legal Counsel to the government, to explore ways to incorporate past case law/precedents and norms from prior incarnations of this community into the new legal framework.

- To uphold the Constitution and tirelessly advocate for the separation of powers and checks and balances that it requires.

If not selected, then I heartily encourage the incoming MoJ to pursue these goals as well. Thank you for your consideration.

As the A-hole that resigned and created the vacancy, I can endorse this guy.

*Aide whispers in ear*

There's a difference between following the idea of being fair and gentle and being suicidal, so while the nation does support peace treaties when they crop up, it still understands that there are other nations on this planet that won't accept the existence of others.

Basically Kalaron is also careful to care for it's allies, and envisions the best qualities it knows of when it is safe to do so for others.

Also, what you said reminds me of the time when Sir Topham Hatt and my driver were telling me 'usefulness before cleanliness', after a water shortage caused Sir Topham Hatt to tell us that no engine could have more than one wash-down a day. Unfortunately, that was also the same day I crashed into a chocolate factory and got covered in chocolate goo. That wasn't a very good day for me.

They may not be, but their economy is tanking like Spain's is and a few others because of Greece. You see, reconquest is obviously the only choice.

Nah. Just use a little napalm and all will be well.

I think most of the Irish people would see their country burn first than have it be ruled by the British again.

First, I do believe that reconquest will do nothing to aid their economy, or Britain's, and I doubt that Napalm would do much to aid in any potential conquest of Ireland.
