Oh absolutely, I was just pointing out the history of the idea :D

Frankly, I don't dislike it.

Right hand of the Glorious Leader: Guys, dictatorship doesn't mean "You're screwed and you don't have any privacy or human rights". Dictatorship means order, means logical evolution, means progress. Like Francisco Franco (the lider of the fascist Spain) said:

"Ahora se habla de democracia. Nosotros, los españoles, ya la hemos conocido. Y no nos dio resultado. Cuando otros van hacia la democracia, nosotros ya estamos de vuelta. Estamos dispuestos a sentarnos en la meta y esperar a que los otros regresen también."

Wich means:

"Now they talk about democracy. We, the Spaniards, already have known it. And it didn't work. When others go towards democracy, we are already back. We are ready to sit down at the goal and also wait for the others to return."

Ha! Democracy, I'll agree it only works 100% on local levels; Now, Dictatorship have the issue of the fear of Political dissidence, Power concentration, Corruption, and a wide variety of fun issues.

Meritocracy on the other hand...

Could we not join together in an economic Union with in our Region

This would mean

1. Using the same Currency

2. Convening together to discuss economically matters

3. Talking about issues relating to other aspects of our Nation building.

It's kinda already been done. Some nations use the optional International Sularon/Standard Currency (ISC) for international trade.

We've also met repeatedly before

And we're past that point of no return

Kyrns are best currency, only downside is that Kyrn looks like Kym

"Citizens of the CoFN. In regards to the Solla Ultima-TCADS Conflict, the Equestrian Empire has decided to take a temporary stance of neutrality.

As long as I'm not housing any really bad people (war criminals, genocide perpetrators, serial killers, etc.), I could do that. There is a wealthy area with lots of mansions near Wellsworth, and we could provide you with one or two of those mansions. Plus, Prime Minister and Controller Sir Topham Hatt lives in the same neighborhood, so you could talk to him anytime.

Black Hawk Reject? Wouldn't blame 'em.

Hey guys, you know I don't really post election things often as I'm not one to spam my name over and over on the RMB in hopes that it somehow makes someone want to vote for me. Regardless, I'll just make a single post that may or may not get lost, giving a brief underlining of my policies as a hopeful Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Firstly, I believe our embassy policy has become too lax. Right now, there are too many and they have lost their important stature. I believe we should create a standardised method of embassy applications and only give them to appropriate regions who we feel the most connected to, for example the Versutian Federation. That way, the embassies can actually be properly staffed by an individual, rather than just a rubber stamp saying "hey, I've got x number of embassies".

For even closer regions I hope we can forge closer friendships with the most important regions around us, and hopefully create a peaceful and cooperative community in which we can help one another and also move between. I would also quite like to introduce the idea of a no-alliance policy. Although we must remember that democracy is a pillar of this region, and ultimately this would be down to the citizens themselves, I would initially stress greatly that the foreign department -if I were in control - would abstain from actively seeking or propagating any alliance, regardless of its type. This way, we're not drawn into alliances that do not represent an accurate cross-section of our community as greatly as they should - we must remember that one of the reasons this region is so great, is that all different areas on the spectrum mix - therefore joining an alliance bias to a partial side of that spectrum would be wholly unfair and simply not cricket.

Not to mention the fact that this region is not at risk from invaders, our World Assembly Delegate cannot control the region and we have a very secure fail-safe option, one that has been born in the fire of our previous regional moves which you'll known about if you have been here for a while. This is why I urge for a strongly neutral and non-interventionist foreign policy.

I think it has also been a great trend to see the citizenship get more involved in our foreign affairs. This is important, as ultimately the minister is the representation of the rest of our society and by using direct democracy we can best replicate this in the political process. In big diplomatic decisions, such as opening large embassies or friendships, it would simply go to a regional vote. This will ensure that we can properly reflect the wants of the people in our policy 'to the "t"'. Naturally, it's also obvious for me to say that transparency and government-citizen relations should be of the utmost priority; subsequently, I would like to continue on with our fort-nightly reports that are in-depth and comprehensive, showing exactly what the ministry is doing.

That's all really, I'm sure I'll probably come up with more things as I go along. Hopefully you consider for your vote for Minister of Foreign Affairs, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yukona wrote: Yuk's statement

My friend here makes some good points.

Fistrly, I want to say that all Embassy Requests approved where checked. No raiders and stuff like that. Second, if you cast your vote for me, I will begin my Envoy plan, which would make sure that truly important regions, and by that I mean regions that we have embassies for a long time should get en envoy, to make sure that our communication is better than ever before.

Also, his no alliance policy is a fantastic idea, and I will be happy to work with him in the future to draft and introduce some neutrality legislation, to ensure that all sides of the spectrum, as he said continue existing peacefully in here.

The fact that we are a no-risk region for invaders is also good, because we would ge more hesitant if we were at risk. But now, we do not have to worry about it, so we can expand our diplomatic Relations.

Another important thing is the Possibility of merging with the CPE, as outlined by Vista and Hyder a few days ago. I have a plan in mind, and tommorow I will make it public, for you to see. It includes, among others, the citizenry's approval for our movements, and the drafting of very detailed treaty, to help as our guideline, which will have to be approved again. So a Cesorion mimistry will handle this matter in the best way possible.

And we do have as way of cheking others, with the application contained in here, but as long as it is not in the WFE I cannot force diplomats to follow it. I request for a third time that it is placed somewhere in the WFE.

To sum up, we had a ridiculously small number of Embassies. With this Embassy policy and application, and if you cast your vote for Ces, we will make that number grow, and at the same time accept regions that are like us, Free!

Thank you very much.

This way, we're not drawn into alliances that do not represent an accurate cross-section of our community as greatly as they should - we must remember that one of the reasons this region is so great, is that all different areas on the spectrum mix - therefore joining an alliance bias to a partial side of that spectrum would be wholly unfair and simply not cricket.

Not to mention the fact that this region is not at risk from invaders, our World Assembly Delegate cannot control the region and we have a very secure fail-safe option, one that has been born in the fire of our previous regional moves which you'll known about if you have been here for a while. This is why I urge for a strongly neutral and non-interventionist foreign policy.

I think it has also been a great trend to see the citizenship get more involved in our foreign affairs. This is important, as ultimately the minister is the representation of the rest of our society and by using direct democracy we can best replicate this in the political process. In big diplomatic decisions, such as opening large embassies or friendships, it would simply go to a regional vote. This will ensure that we can properly reflect the wants of the people in our policy 'to the "t"'. Naturally, it's also obvious for me to say that transparency and government-citizen relations should be of the utmost priority; subsequently, I would like to continue on with our fort-nightly reports that are in-depth and comprehensive, showing exactly what the ministry is doing.

That's all really, I'm sure I'll probably come up with more things as I go along. Hopefully you consider for your vote for Minister of Foreign Affairs, I would greatly appreciate it.
