Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
I hope it's like my maths result... at least 91%!

My thoughts.
[Spoiler]Amendment to Article I of the Constitution.
I'd suggest this should just be either Immediate return to being a Citizen or the normal 30 days. Adding in a new 14 days rule make it hard to administer.
Amendment to Article VII of the Constitution
Disagree with this amendment. If you call a session of parliament, My view is that only those nations in Parliament at the start of said session should be able to vote. It could lead to some weird scenarios of nations last minute applying and voting. Also it creates a strange task for the speaker to ask the newly appointed MP to vote. Outside of a session of Parliament then its fine.
Establishment of the Election Commission
I don't agree every Party must have a representative on the commission. I'd prefer wording to the affect of, parties can choose to have a representative on the Election Commission. Again, members may want to be Independent therefore we'd also have allow Citizens to participate. I do think discord should be a requirement of this role. it's going to be really difficult otherwise.. or we will need a seperate forum.
Do we need to suggest a recommended number of Citizens for the commission like 3/4 we don't want it to be massive like its not that difficult to administer an election.
Honorary Titles Act
Agree, like the act good to have this as regional law.
Moderator Act
Agree, this probably needed to be stated, we had no actual law we just announced this was the approach.
Will the position in regional Government be called Moderator. It's been known as Security Officer for a long time now.
As per the constitution, certain Government members act in this role , Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.[/spoiler]

Who would have the authority to give titles to people, or could people just claim a title?
America The Greater
Section I subsection i covers this, basically a proposal to grant a Title is just the same as any other bill. People can send proposals to the Speaker, who can then introduce those proposals in a Voting Session. If Parliament approves, the Title is granted.
Yodle, Vordoslavia, Mjau
I actually agree that the MoD should have jurisdiction over Moderators as well - this would make a nice amendment to the bill if it passes, and if not I'll definitely be revising to include that. Thanks for the suggestion
Yodle, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Ok

1. ThatÂ’s fair, though that was due to the prompt.
2. I have that worded poorly, I meant the beginning of a 6 month session, apologies (because at one point I had to wait months before joining parliament when it was party list based)
3. Â…thatÂ’s how it was until right before the session startedÂ
Mjau
Voting Sessions are meant to be a 7-day period of voting on legislation proposed by the Speaker - our Parliamentary Reformation Bill covered the 6-month issue.

Congrats to the new PM and DPM! Can't wait to see where your administration takes the region!

Yodle will need to dismiss me as an officer

Huh, I guessed right
Yodle, America The Greater, New United Common-Lands, Kaidia, Mjau
Thanks a lot! Your vote really did make the difference lol
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Yodle, America The Greater, New United Common-Lands, Kaidia
I wouldn't call getting 1 or 2 votes a "Close battle"
Yodle, Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Lawid, Kaidia, Mjau
Regardless, every candidate was a challenger to me, and every other candidate made it a closer and closer battle!
Yodle, America The Greater, Kaidia, Vordoslavia
basically, u get to vote for ur first option, and after that for the second third, etc.
Basically this makes it so that if its too close to call, it eliminates options to make the vote for decisive
Yodle, America The Greater, Kaidia, Vordoslavia
Members of Parliament,
The election is over, and our work goes on: the next Voting Session has begun! We have a lot of proposals on the agenda for this week, so please take a look and cast your vote!

Here's the election process
[spoiler]
The candidate with more than 50% of first-choice votes, hereafter referred to as a majority, will win the election.
If no candidate has secured a majority of first-choice votes, the election will enter a runoff and the candidate with the lowest number of first-choice votes will be eliminated. Any first-choice vote for an eliminated candidate will be discarded, and the voterÂ’s second choice will be considered instead.
This process of elimination will continue until one candidate has received a majority of votes. This candidate will win the election.[/spoiler]
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Lawid, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau, Western Arba Fir
Ok, merci!
America The Greater, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
No worries man, I'd be happy to answer any other questions u need me to

While the joint campaign didn't succeed entirely, I congratulate Mjau for their election as Deputy Prime Minister nonetheless (with a successful campaign might I add)
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Mjau

If you want me to appoint or dismiss nations just say the word. Whilst i technically still have the powers 👀
America The Greater, Kaidia, Mjau
Alright, the word session isnÂ’t even in that amendment after reading it, so I donÂ’t know why NUCL brought it up besides the question would adding a member be difficult during a voting session, since he brought that point up
May I take the Election Commission bill off of the voting session and hold it til the next one to edit it?
Kaidia
I personally interpret “ A Citizen shall immediately be able to participate in the Parliament when their application is accepted.”
To mean a nation can vote straight away when they join parliament even if a session is ongoing
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
I believe they should be able to vote straight away when their application is accepted, yes.
Also I edited it, I meant that I needed to edit the other bill, next time IÂ’ll ask for input before I ask for it to be put up to vote.
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Kaidia
Congrats Everyone!!!
America The Greater, Kaidia, Mjau
I donÂ’t got it either bro itÂ’s cool
Not exactly what I wanted but overall two great choices to run this region.
Mjau has definitely proven himself a lot in these last few months

America The Greater, Kaidia
I'm sorry, I can't really do that. If it fails, you can revise it, or if it passes, you're free to amend it later on.
Kaidia
Fair enough, thank you :D
America The Greater, Kaidia
After some discussion with my deputy, Mjau, we have decided for these nations to be part of our cabinet for the first six months of 2024:
Minister of Domestic Affairs - Lawid
Minister of Foreign Affairs - New United Common-Lands (should he be willing following his resignation from Prime Minister only yesterday)
Minister of Defense - Sicario Mercenary Corps
Minister of Culture - Socialistic Britain
The nations above, apart from one, are all ministers from the previous term, all reappointed for this term due to their expertise in their respective positions, the one exception being New United Common-Lands, whose diplomatic expertise during his premiership will be pivotal for representing The Region That Has No Big Banks throughout the international community as minister. All other nations who held more minor positions from the previous premiership continue to hold their positions during this term.
We would also like to introduce the Ministry of Communications, whose focus is on documentation (via The Social Reformer), announcements, and potentially even organizing events, whose position of minister is currently left vacant. Should you be willing to be the inaugural minister of communications, let us know. Until then, have a good day, kind regards from The Washington Federation.

I want to be clear that I stand by every single bill I wrote and all of the content in them. I just wanted to adjust the word “must” in the Article VII amendment to “may” in case the amount of parties increases drastically soon, but I’ll just make an amendment to change it assuming it passes. Second thing, what I write in bills is what I mean. I try to be as straightforward as possible with what a bill means, and if I’m not straightforward enough then that’s my bad. Final thing, vote and ask me if you have any questions about the bills I wrote, I’d be happy to answer!

A new Regional Office position requires a regional law.
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, The Kaverian, Mjau
I'll see if I can get a piece a legislation in for it to vote for in the next session
America The Greater, Kaidia, The Kaverian, Mjau
Submit it to me whenever you can, I'll be sure to add it to the agenda for next session.
Kaidia, Mjau
2024 Government here we come!
America The Greater, Lawid, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Could anybody suggest/make a new regional office position, or just DPM, and PM?
America The Greater, Kaidia
Also, cause we're resetting a bunch of stuff and I need to redo lore, flag change!
America The Greater, Kaidia
Anyone can. My Moderator Act would introduce a new regional office position, it's open to anybody as long as it passes through Parliament. That's in the Constitution, Article IV, Section V.
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
Amazing, cause I had a little idea from a friend in a different region...
ill be working on it for a few days though
America The Greater, Kaidia
Cool, let me know when you have it written or if you want some help with the draft!
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
Thanks!
America The Greater, Kaidia
You bills are great man, they're the right idea and the right wording/formulation in general. I'm looking forward to seeing more legislation from yourself
America The Greater, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
I'll also be getting something done after this weekend, as I've been completely full with exams irl, i have 4 of them tmorow
America The Greater, Kaidia
Yes, I might need a bit of help with formatting and stuff, it's my first bill so I have no clue what I am doing
America The Greater, Kaidia
Here's a brief style guide I wrote up. It's non-binding so you don't have to follow these guidelines, but it might help you get an idea of how bills are usually formatted in the region. I have a couple example bills down at the bottom. You might also find the Bill Archive useful, it has links to the full text of former bills so you can see a lot more examples there. Let me know if you want some advice from me too, I'd be happy to help out.
Kaidia, Mjau
Good luck with your exams, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

America The Greater, Kaidia, Sozialistisches Paradies
Congratulations The Washington Federation & Mjau! I look forward to seeing everything you will accomplish in your Administration! I think this goes to show that putting yourself out there and campaigning can really make the difference!
America The Greater, The Washington Federation, Mjau, Sozialistisches Paradies
Thank you! I hope to accomplish a lot in my term!
Yodle, America The Greater, Kaidia, Sozialistisches Paradies

No, that was just a little example bill, which I'm going to make clearer now. There isn't a character limit.

Creation of the Honorary Founder Title & Medal
1/10/2024 | 10/1/2024
Good evening everyone,
I think it goes without saying that New United Common-LandsÂ’s leadership over the past two years and their many contributions to all aspects of our community have directly led us to the unprecedented success we have seen. NUCL has surpassed every expectation IÂ’ve ever had for him, even succeeding in ways which I wasnÂ’t able to do in the past. I really couldnÂ’t have asked for a better Guardian for the region when I relinquished my Delegacy two years ago.
All this is to say, I have established a new medal & title called Honorary Founder. This award is designed to recognize unprecedented service and accomplishments made toward the TRTHNBB Community. The title grants a unique role called ‘Honorary Founder’ both on-site and on Discord, with the Discord role being roped into the already existing ‘Founder’ role. Recipients of the Honorary Founder medal will receive effectively the same or similar status to what I currently serve as Founder (aside from God status of course lol).
Once the Honorary Titles bill passes, we will retroactively incorporate this title under its umbrella.
I hereby bestow unto New United Common-Lands the Title & Medal of Honorary Founder for their exceptional service and accomplishments achieved during their time in leadership over the past two years.

And true, I misclicked in the vote so sent one with a note after "Pyhdon"

We are currently undecided on the correct interpretation of our Constitution in terms of the PM creating new Cabinet positions, plus we're still not sure who we think will best fit the position.
