IC: The Secretary General of the World Union is pleased to announce that the Laws of War have received the necessary majority, and have now been passed into International Law. We would like to present for the consideration of the International Assembly a proposal by the Science Directorate of Oldmanzakk:
World Union bill Proposal Nr. : - -
introduction of the Cooperative funding on WU initiatives and projects
WHEREAS A not yet clear accord on funding for international projects and procedures among member nations of the WU, this bill is aimed to clarify and resolve this issue;
Section I: International Cooperation defines that procedure among nations which work together to achieve a common objective.
Section II: Understanding: that the WU is a supranational body which aim to unite Nations to curb down conflicts and issues (such as wars or climate change, famine etc.) and seek to render the world a thriving place for all people.
Noting: that to achieve international cooperation and the WU objective, such organisation is in constant need of funding.
Furthermore noting: That the WU is a legal body that does not generate income by itself directly.
Hereby proposes:
- That if this bill passes all member nations of the WU will be legally obliged to give a percentage, calculated on their gdp, to the WUCF (World Union Cooperation Fund) on a monthly basis - The institution of a supranational body called WU funding commission, which will be in charge to determine each funding amount for each member nation - That such commission can also institute single time funding initiatives for critical projects that for example are mented to relief or resolve a common threat (eg. climate change, Terrorism etc).

Hello fellow citizens of TRTHNBB you know me as Cody I assume yes? Well today I'd like to say I'm running for President of this great region. So #Cody for El Presidente.

Oldmanzakk, Yodle
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the Presidency. I hope to continue the trend of excellent governance that President Bernie Nation and his assorted administrations have provided for us. I believe my experience as the Vice President in President Bernie Nation's productive last term in office, along with my experience as the Head of Roleplay, provide me with an excellent wealth of experience in the field of prudent governance of our region's style. If elected, I intend to continue President Bernie Nation's tradition of appointment to Office on the basis of merit rather than party affiliation, pursue a policy of the promotion of boosting our region's influence and activity in interregional affairs, and do what is possible to fine-tune and improve the regional experience for all of its members in cooperation with the Legislative and Judicial Branches, whether it be a matter of RP, administration, defending, or any other relevant affair.
Oldmanzakk, -Stans, Big Blue Blob, Yodle, America The Greater
People of TRTHNBB,
I'm here to announce that I am running for President this election season! With my running mate Yodle, we plan to help the region evolve into a more friendly and welcoming place for citizens to come and enjoy their stay. Our region will take a Citizens-First approach, reduce the power of the less-representative executive branch, and provide new activities to bring our residents closer together. We plan to encourage communication through camaraderie, and to expand our opportunities and services to truly forge a worthy administration for the people of this region and become a role model for other communities to follow with pride.
Thank you,
America the Greater

Sadly, it always results in an inflated Tory vote. With PR, Tories would've only got about 13 more seats than Labour (I think? I did the sums after the vote, but that feels a really long time ago. I blame A levels), rather than 56. Still, it allows for some bizarre election election results, which is always fun.

Chancellor elections are open, so feel free to add your vote! Only Representative votes will count, but I still want to get everyone's opinion.
From what i know, the British have this strong Tradition of jokes candidates and joke partys.... is this a result of this bizarre voting system?.
Btw..
How is Lord Buckethead doing?
Yeah, we do that quite well. And not really, it's just our weird sense of humour, though the first past the post actually makes it possible for Lord Buckethead to be elected as an MP, which would be great.
And well, from what I hear. He offered to be our ambassador to the EU, and do the Brexit talks by himself. He'd probably do a better job at it. Lord Buckethead for PM!

Hey guys - Talchyon here from the Icarus Embassy.
So I run an RP on P2TM here. It currently is the longest running active comedy RP series on "Portal to the Multiverse." It's about the lamest D-level superhero team whose members weren't quite powerful enough to join the other more prestigious teams. The Minnesota Infinites! What kind of lame powers do these guys have? Things like shooting calculators, animating origami, turning yourself into a table, that kind of thing. And there are equally lame villains here too. This arc, the superhero team is going into space! If you would be interested in looking at this (and/or signing up even), I would appreciate it. Check it out. We're going to have a lot of fun.

Good Evening, Fellow Citizens!
In my time as Founder of the Union of Democratic States, and in global politics generally, I have been granted no greater honour than the privilege to represent the good citizens of FORGE. I now stand before you today as the leader of a strong coalition of 16 proud regions. I would like to thank [nation=short]Baishita[/nation] for the clean campaign that he so vigorously ran, and I wish to thank [nation=short]Evve Terre[/nation] and [nation]South Asians[/nation] for their wonderful campaigns as well. I am extremely grateful to my supporters, for without them I would not have been elected. I am especially thankful to [nation=short]Yodle[/nation] for his help in drafting my platform, and to [nation=short]Kanglia[/nation] for helping me campaign. However, now is the time to focus on the future and the task ahead.
My first order of business is to appoint a cabinet, and I will be doing so over the course of the next few days. I will then bring together the representatives of FORGE into a group chat on Discord to begin debating, voting on, and implementing my proposed agenda. I believe that the most important thing for FORGE is to unite the people together through our common causes and beliefs. To achieve this, representative reform, increased interaction on the Discord and RMB, the development of the armed forces, and the overall expansion of FORGE will be our top priority. I will also be working with [nation=short]Bernie nation[/nation], the representative for the TRTHNBB, to further improve your experience with FORGE. Together, I believe that we can accomplish many great things. And as a pledge to the people of FORGE, I furthermore ask you all to hold me and the cabinet accountable. Accountability is the most important and consequential aspect of our democratic system, helping to avert government corruption and inactivity while better reflecting the people. Through our collective effort we can unite and make FORGE the alliance that it deserves to be: a place of free thought, of interregional security, and of intellectual prosperity.
Your Friend and Chancellor,
[nation=short]The Noble Thatcherites[/nation]

I'm afraid diplomacy is pretty hard with a state like North Korea. Especially when the three biggest superpowers: China, USA and Russia ain't the biggest negotiator. But never give up i'll say.
-Stans, Blustan
What do we need is a revolution by the people of North Korea. I believe it is possible.
Also what the fack, why every nations here are monarchies ? That does not make any sense.
Because their is a certain appeal to be a unquestioned higher person. It's after all a game to let out all our dark dictatorial fantasys have interesting, yet not realistic state experiements with strong rpleplay focus.
I resign as High Judge of TRTHNBB.
I have lost my exitment with this project and NationStates in general, so i only find it fair to give my role to someone who has more enthuisiasm then me. If my joy for NationStates and this project rekindles, you will maybe see me doing something again. For now i'm only your normal citizen or your ex-judge who only critisize how my successors or former co-workers are doing a much worse job then when i was in charge. This is a common practise under resigned politician.
Anyways. Since i'm resigning before my vacation, i will not have the time to help figure the next judge.
So no recommondation from me.
May the fairest become the next judge.
I'm eager to see, which of you you choosed to replace me when i'm back.

Hi
Socialista Libertario
As my administration draws to a close, I am undergoing a mixture of emotion. As many of you no, Ive expressed my desire for my term to end. Being President of this region has been a tiring experience, full of frustrating moments, irritating questions or requests, and dealing with the ARA every two weeks. But I dont regret a single moment of it. I remember one afternoon, around 10 months ago, when [nation=short]Yodle[/nation] asked me if I wanted to run for President under the banner of the DSP. I felt rather honored and obliged him. If I recall correctly, we had around 40 citizens in the region back then. Since then, we have increased our size 450% and our Discord is always buzzing with activity and conversation. But I cant take the credit for any of this; all of the glory should go to my Cabinet. Without their extreme competence and drive to improve the region, we would have come nowhere. But even more important than the size of our region is the community that has developed out of it. We have something precious here. While there will always be disagreements and conflict, never let this stand in the way of enjoying one anothers company. I have made true friends here, and I look forward to waking up in the morning and seeing how everyone is doing. This, right here, is the most important piece of advice I can give to the next President; you are just another citizen of this region. Maybe you got elected because you have superb management skills or unique ideas, but you still owe it to the people to walk amongst them and be their friend. If you cant do that, then you have no mandate to lead. Before I wrap this up, Id like to recognize a few people for their direct impact on my administration. [nation=short]Yodle[/nation], for doing nearly all the technical work since the founding of this region. Without him, all Id have would be a few nice words and some unobtainable concepts. [nation=short]Ansuriel[/nation], for being one of the first friends I found here, and one of the kindest souls Ive ever met. His advice helped to mold the region to where we are today. [nation=short]Primera Republica de Cantabria[/nation], for being my muse. Underneath his goofy demeanor, is someone with incredible ideas and big plans for the future. [nation=short]Oldmanzakk[/nation], for always being able to put a smile on my face. Those times where I got too frustrated or stressed with regional happenings, I could always go to him for help. [nation=short]Rufford[/nation], for always being there for any general conversation or obsessing over Doctor Who. [nation=short]Eastern Behrezvia[/nation], while youre new compared to many of the others in this list, you incorporated yourself immediately into this region. You are a shining example of what the next generation of leaders will look like. [nation=short]Shangyan[/nation], you are one smart dude. Whether its region related or something in real life, I can always rely on your wisdom. Finally, [nation=short]America the Greater[/nation]. You are phenomenal. I fully expect to see your name on a ballot somewhere in the next 20 years, and youd certainly have my vote. Thank you to everyone for giving one of the most incredible experiences of my recent years. Lets get to work.
Oldmanzakk, Ansuriel, Yodle, America The Greater, Getobetati, Rufford Ii, Social Democratic Commonwealth, Moirava, Socialista Libertario
To my fellow citizens of The Region That Has No Big Banks,
I am humbled and honored to announce that I have been elected the second President of TRTHNBB. I would like to thank Shangyan and New West Tropico for running and giving our citizens a variety of strong choices. I would also like to give a special mention to Yodle for running alongside me this election. Yodle is truly an incredibly dedicated individual, and our region and so many others are much better off simply for having him present. Most importantly, I would like to give my highest gratitude to my predecessor, Bernie Nation, the first President of our region. Bernie Nation was at the head of our government as we grew from 40 citizens to nearly 200. He helped make initiatives for our citizens, like our Discord and Steam group, both of which are highly successful at bringing activity to our region. Further, he helped grow our region's influence and reputation to unprecedented levels on the world stage. For this and so much more, I thank Bernie Nation for his extensive contributions to our region. May we continue on this path of prosperity that we have worked to create, and never stop progressing, working to bring acceptance and openness to all those who can call our region home.
Thank you,
America the Greater

Ok guys. This is quit fun.
As some of you know, i'm currently away in vacation visiting my aunt. It turned out that her father comes from the same village as our beloved Governor, Movie Actor and Bodybuilder. The one and only Governator, the man who played in a movie a pregnant man, the man who showed to the world how beautiful our accent sounds when we Austrians talk english, this guy came from the same village as the father from my aunt. Imagine that! Arnold Schwarzenegger!
But sadly, i'm not related to this man who came from this beautiful region, since she is only my relative second degree, the cousin of my father. Her mother is related to my grandfather.... but still isn't it funny to know someone directly related to the place this... phenomena came from. The home of the man who stands symbolic for the 80s!
Well, let me close this with a quote full of whit, from this great intellectual:
Milk is for babys, when you grow up, you have to drink beer - Arnold Schwarzenegger

IC: 80% of the active Pharaonician army has entered the Suez region, announcing it's annexation of the area, and forced integration of the people inside. The area was controlled formerly by Molcadara. The 80,000 soldiers there have been killed in action, or forced to retreat.

Parliament Session XI Results
Fellow Residents,
Session XI of Parliament has concluded! At vote in this session were the Cabinet Appointments, the High Judge Appointment, and a Constitutional Amendment regarding the Cabinet. The results are as follows:
Appointment of [nation=short]Primera Republica de Cantabria[/nation] to Minister of Domestic Affairs: 16 - 2 - 2
Appointment of [nation=short]Rufford II[/nation] to Minister of Foreign Affairs: 14 - 4 - 2
Appointment of [nation=short]Bernie Nation[/nation] to High Judge: 16 - 2 - 2
CA-10 "Merger of the Ministries of Domestic Affairs and Immigration": 15 - 3 - 2
This session saw a total of 20 voters, and every proposal passed through Parliament with a strong majority. While the Presidential Election saw a total of 31 voters (29 of which were counted in the final tally), 20 MPs participating in a session of Parliament is a very good turnout! Stay tuned for more information regarding the full cabinet and other news which will be released in the Seventh Edition of The Social Reformer!
Thank you,
[nation=short]America the Greater[/nation]

OOC: Hello you may remember me as Cody the first PM well I'm running again for PM Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Anyway my goal is make Parliament active meaning we don't miss several sessions because we had nothing to vote on. I believe with my experience as PM I can accomplish this. So when you vote for your next prime minster or Parliament minster just remember I'm on that ballot and I want you to vote for me.

Hey, this is orchestralia, I'm running for PM. Earlier I held the now defunct position of Minister of defense. I am running for PM because I believe we need to help usher in a new era of parliament. In my opinion the previous PMs have not done a good job being PM. There has been a large disconnect between the PM and the MPs. I am campaigning as a candidate for the people. I promise to encourage new legislation by relaxing all to strict laws of the formatting of bills. I promise to help put a check on the all too powerful executive branch by banning members of the branch from being in parliament. I promise to communicate with anyone and everyone who has a concern that they wish to voice. I am the candidate for the people. I am the candidate for you.
Definitely check out the regional discord server. It's a nice way to start conversations and meet new people.
