Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Seriously, why is everyone so eager to run for MoIA this election? Is the MoIA the secret puppet-master of the region and I'm not aware of it?
Russian Fedration, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
It's a hot race for that position damn.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Truth be told...I'd run for President, but I'm OK with Vista and I just got back on the SC, so I feel like it'd have been a waste of Oel's time if I jumped off now, regardless.

Run.
Penguania And Antarctica
I was planning on running for that position for a little bit now, I didn't expect to really have any competition except for Peng. Though I welcome it, all the same.

it should be something they decide them selves.

Howdy, just joined your region, new to this, COFN looks pretty ... swell.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
It's actually just "CFN". Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar, a traitor to the cause, and an enemy of the people.
Welcome, btw!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Atokad
I call it the CoFN because it helps in differentiating it from the CFN. It makes life easier.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Atokad

Running for Prez also crossed my mind, but I don't think now would be a good time. I'm leaving for Europe June 1st, and I'm not sure how active I'll be on NS during the two weeks I'm in Europe. I'd likely end up either resigning partway through my term, or giving up power to my Vice President or something.
In short, the CFN needs an active President, and between my Europe trip and preparing to start a job and college once I get back, I'm not sure if I can provide that. If nothing else, I already know Vista is active enough to be a good President.
Welcome to the region, Atokad!

[nation=short]Jaslandia[/nation] Pretty good, you? I've kinda moved on from my two RP regions 3-4 years of moderation of debates and rules to update every RP flaw gets very tiresome. I've went back to Lazarus for a bit to see how I can help there.

congrats jas
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Here's hoping you've since realized how improbable it is! ;D
Thanks for the sentiment, but like I said, I'm good with being on the SC for the time being. I mean, it's not like I don't want to defile that office with Tim, It's more like I can wait until a point in time where I haven't just been reintroduced to the SC to drop and run. :P
Oelesa
Thanks, Wasatia! And welcome back! It's been a while.

Don't you worry about me. Give Vista a run for his money ;)

That ain't French and no
I'm a gonna go ahead and ask the dumb question... what's the significance of endorsing someone? I thought it made me a citizen cause I'd just submitted the longass application, but now I see I can endorse other people. Dare I just go around endorsing anyone willynilly, nice flag.. endorsed! etc? Also don't mean to be impatient but WhyTF ain't I a citizen? Or am I?
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
It doesn't mean much. The person with the most endorsements is elected the WA delegate. In some regions that means stuff, but here it's mostly symbolic.
Oelesa, Atokad
In regions where the WA can do things, it means something, here we just decided we wanted to be safe from Raiders and made the elected position be given from the Founder.
When did you submit it?
Atokad
Well once tou submit an application to become a citizen, someone will send you a telegram once its processed and approved.
Honestly I have no clue what good endorsing is :)
Russian Fedration, Atokad
Sorry. I had no time the whole day to take care of it because I was busy and wasn't able to get on my pc. Expect a response within the next 2 hours.
Thanks for your patience.
-Peng
[I]Minister of Interior

No worries mate, I wasn't very serious... but I was unsure if it already happened all stealth like. And thanks.

Arguable. I think you could more easily opposite the reverse, as scientific evidence has generally shown marijuana to be less harmful than alcohol. Harder drugs like cocaine and heroin are much less benign, but even then, many people feel a focus on rehabilitation and understanding would be more effective than a focus on fear and enforcement in regards to reducing drug use.
