South Hyder wrote:Hello Confederacy!

I came into office this term facing one of the most pressing population crisises that this region has ever seen, one described by our previous Chancellor as a “state of emergency.”

I took it upon myself to salvage our population, bringing our population to a peak of over 170 nations (now leveled at 130), sending over 15,000 recruitment telegrams, restarting the Mentorship Program, and initiating merger conversations with three regions, but I want to do more!

Last election cycle the electorate of the Confederacy of Free Nations put their faith in me, [I]you all[/I] put your faith in me, a refugee from Libertatem, and I ensured that I would not let you down. This cycle, with the consent and blessing from our current Chancellor, I ask you to do the same as I am seeking election as Chancellor of the CoFN.

I plan to once again drastically increase not only our population, but our number of interested and invested citizens as well as work with the rest of the Cabinet to bring true reform for the Confederacy in all plausible departments.

Thank you,

South Hyder

Ok. I mean it. I am really not trying to be all political and stuff. Its not my thing. It kinda goes against my personal mandate to even be doing what I am doing, but heck the rules. Hyde officially has my vote for Chancellor, and my official endorsement as well.

TG this nation to be added to candidate list or to endorse others, it's somewhat difficult to track down posts in such an active region otherwise.

Within two days, I will announce many policy plans. Also, I am ready to hear your proposals, to incorporate them in my platform, and I will continue doing this as a VC!

I have worked with Ces before and the one thing I can say about him is that he does not shy away from work, willing to do what it takes to complete his objective. I think this is a perfect fit for him as recruiting truly is an unrelenting task that is only possible through arduous labor.

Everyone should run for something! Even if you're afraid you're not familiar enough with the region or you are not sure how to properly conduct the job, if you're dedicated, those around you will be more than willing to help you learn the ropes (myself included)!

Running isn't only for career politicians in the CoFN, everyone ran for something for the first time at some point, and that's how they became familiar with those roles; even if you don't win, running shows dedication to the region and you may get approached to be a deputy.

Oh yeah, I've punched my card. Like many of us veterans. I've been playing and serving this region for about 2 years and 140 days. Served as MoFA for the longest, MOI, Chancellor, Prime Minister, Secretary of State, chief justice and ending with Speaker. Put in some government revolutions and raiders, we got a pretty clear show of service. I love this region still, but time to retire and smoke some hemp.

As someone who's also been in the region a long time (a VERY long time), that's why I stayed out of government for a while. I was ready to retire, and I felt like it was time to pass the torch to the next generation. But, I eventually decided that I could still serve the region as a Supreme Court justice, and I'm now pleased to be serving the region again. And, if you don't mind me campaigning for a second, I will continue to look forward to serving the region if the people decide to re-elect me as SCJ!

I just find it funny and paradoxical that you're a communist state with a monarchy lol

I guess I like the idea of the Communist Red Army, but am more inclined to be a Monarchy. I like it too

A literal red tsar. Or in this case, tsarina/tsaritsa.

Truth be told, there's very little that is different necessarily about a communist army from a nationalist army. Both share many of the same features :p

Such as they both want to kill the other side and take over? :P

The Talking Point

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure.

Space Falangism confirmed

“No no, that won’t work,” says a tall, dark-haired mysterious stranger walking into your office with a gust of wind stirring his long duster coat and hat. He throws a crossbow onto your desk before continuing, “These simple folk do not have the honed skills to hunt witches or any other devil of the night for that matter. But I am a monster hunter. If you set up a sanctioned guild, then we can properly hunt these necromancers.”

Since we have inquisition already why not guilds for hunting monsters?

The Talking Point

The government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins.

404 logic not found.

I have question to you all:

In Germany it is possible for visitors of the Bundestag to attend a session of the Bundestag as audience for I guess 30 minutes or so before the next group of visitors can follow the session.

Is there such a possibility in your real life national parliaments to attend a live session as audience too?

Hey, man. Your Falangist friend New Salvatore is taking a new direction. We are going to have a monarchy which will be one of the tenets of Salvatorian nationalism, along with the church and the Caudillo/Party.

Yes. I am sure both Westminster and the Scottish Parliament allow visitors into the viewing galleries to see debates.

Yeah. Although it is hard to understand the language, you can attend

Yeah. We had our own PMQs yesterday. Here, pmqs happen 3 or 4 times a year, or something like that.

This guy should be our next PM

Ours happens weekly but it's a disgrace. It's an opportunity for more slagging and insults, and for the government to pat itself on the back.

First Minister's Questions is more informative and more civilised.

Yes, the Scottish Parliament was designed to be a modern building. And the chamber was designed with a horse shoe shape because it fosters consensus and compromise. The Westminster style, where politicians sit opposite each other, encourages tribalism and conflict.

UK parliament in general seems to me like a debate at a pub with everyone shouting as loud as they can to get their opinion across.

I believe you can go on tours in the US Capitol building during the session but I've never been to DC so I can't confirm. I do know however that my state has it written in our constitution that the doors to the General Assembly cannot be closed to the public unless there's like a state of emergency or something. There aren't many seats in the actual assembly though for visitors.

I particularly like your desks, and that feature with the part that is elevated to become a rostrum

It does, actually. But it is not due to the shape. Australia has a Westiminster style chamber as well. So does Canada. But in both theese countries, only the orator is heard. Mainly because there are actual chairs, and not couches. And because Australia has 150 MPs

The desks also feature voting buttons and buttons which alert the Presiding Officer to who wants to speak in the chamber.

Electronic voting isn't used in Germany because of the danger of manipulation.

Eh, electronic voting is quicker and easier.
