MoC ANNOUNCEMENT

Alright, i thought I'd officially say what the plan for the next few days regarding the RP map and the SA system is.

Going forward, I will be selecting a few people to join and send them an offer to try and decide a new, better SA system, If anybody wishes to join and thinks they could provide something, please do offer to join, as this needs to be finished as soon as possible

Regarding the maps, Those will be officially reset on the 10th, The same day the PM and DPM election results are released remember to vote in those, So do please telegram me or DM on discord your map claims, Claiming between the two maps will be restricted for a few days, About 4. So do keep that in mind, as well as how much starting land you can claim.

I would love to join and help decide a new and bettered SA system, as per land, if I could have what I currently have on Earth, that'd be great!

Not in Parlament.

Of course I am a great candidate!

A great, disappointing one

10th coming up, so many other candidates, and so little time, I would be surprised if I even got 6 votes.

I bet itÂ’s because SAPP, pushing a Socialist-Anarcho-Primitivist agenda in a very unusual one

That might be my problem

Or maybe because I am still a growing nation, with just hitting one billion, why would anybody trust a nation that is not very popular, powerful, or significant

Or maybe am just tired, itÂ’s all the same

"Have they been dealt with?"

"Yes, mein Kaiser."

"Perfect, after dealing with the rebel crisis now, we can expand our American colonies, perhaps you could send a recon team to the Amazonas, and nearby territories."

"Could you specify, mein Kaiser?"

"The states Amazonas, Roraima, and Para."

"Would a scout team of 8 people work Sir?"

"For now, yes, try to reason with the indigenous tribes in the Amazon, if you cannot, then you force if needed, but off! Off you go!"

"Yes Mein Kaiser, I will get right on it!"

"Alpha 1, come in, Alpha 1"

"Bravo 2, this is Alpha 1, do you copy?"

"Yes, Sir, I copy"

"Great, establish a perimeter, set up camp here, hopefully, we packed enough for eight people."

"Right away Sir, Elepsilon team, get a sample of nearby fauna, be careful out there!"

Two of the Eight people are seen walking away from the camp

"Everybody else! Alpha 1 demanded we set up camp here, GET TO IT!"

The rest of the recon is set out, many are scrambling to get the camp set up

"Bravo 2, report!"

"Sir, the camp is expected to finish tomorrow, until then, we will set up sleeping bags for now!"

"Good, get some rest, I will take care of the Elepsilon team when they get back."

"Yes sir."

He scrambles off, some yelling is heard, and the campfire is put out, and the voices dim out...

The first is for clarifying that CTEÂ’d nations are not citizens, and another making sure any eligible nations to join Parliament can. All 3 of my bills were responses to prompts given by America The Greater

America The Greater, Lawid, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau

Members of Parliament,

Our next Voting Session will begin tomorrow! I've held off because of the holidays and election season, but tomorrow the election concludes and it's time to get things moving once again. I'm excited to introduce five pieces of legislation today, including three proposals written by a new legislator for our region, The Kaverian! I'll begin with The Kaverian's proposals, including a brief summary of each bill and a link to a dispatch containing its full text.

The Kaverian has begun by proposing our first Constitutional Amendment! Here's their introduction to their Amendment to Article I:

[spoiler=Amendment to Article I]All this amendment does is add a subsection that would clarify that CTEÂ’d nation is no longer a citizen. CTEÂ’d nations do not reside in the region they CTEÂ’d in. It also clarifies the waiting period a CTEÂ’d nation that returns would have to wait before rejoining: 2 weeks. I chose 2 weeks instead of 30 days because TRTHNBB already has one of the longest waiting periods to become citizen for some, and I donÂ’t see why a citizens should have to wait the full time again to rejoin the parliament.[/spoiler]

Next up is another Amendment, this time to Article VII.

[spoiler=Amendment to Article VII]This amendment will ensure the right to immediately participate in parliament to all nations who want to and are eligible to do so. Without this amendment, a speaker could hypothetically disenfranchise anyone who gains eligibility between the start of the session and the beginning of the next session. Imagine having to wait 7 months between entering the region and joining the Parliament![/spoiler]

For The Kaverian's final contribution, this time we have a new piece of regional law, the Establishment of the Election Commission!

[spoiler=Establishment of the Election Commission]This bill introduces the Election Commission, which will be the committee that runs elections. Basically, the bill talks about the powers of the Election Commissioner and Party Representatives, as well as giving direction on how the Election Commissioner can increase participation in elections. This bill is honestly here to codify the way New United Common-Lands ran this previous election, just adding representatives from the various political parties that are popping up.[/spoiler]

Next up, I'd like to introduce two more bills which I personally authored. First is the Honorary Titles Act.

[spoiler=Honorary Titles Act]The Honorary Titles Act is a bill with fairly low stakes for the region, authorizing Parliament to grant titles to citizens who have contributed a great deal to the region. This bill would allow us to preserve our history and reward nations who have been vital to the maintenance or growth of the region.[/spoiler]

The last proposal for this Voting Session is the Moderator Act.

[spoiler=Moderator Act]The Moderator Act proposes to establish a new Regional Office, the Moderator. Moderators would basically be nations who are given the power to enforce the Code of Conduct, with the responsibility of reporting all of their actions to the government and the public via the Code of Conduct Log.[/spoiler]

Thanks for reading! Hopefully you get a chance to look at all of the proposed bills over the next couple days. The next Voting Session will begin tomorrow!

Also, I've already received a few submissions for possible legislation for our next Session, so feel free to keep sending me bills! I'd love to introduce new legislators during our next Session.

Prime Minister New United Common-lands Farewell Speech

As many of you will know, TRTHNBB is currently in the midst of its Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister elections with voting closed tomorrow. This is a massively exciting time for the region as we anticipate the new era of leadership, IÂ’ve been very impressed with our aspiring candidates and IÂ’m looking forward to seeing what they achieve over their terms. I know many of us are eager for the results of the elections which will be released at a similar time tomorrow! But this does mean my premiership as PM has come to an endÂ

So, I wanted to take a moment to say, Thanks for Two Years!

The past few weeks have been especially nostalgic for me, with some deep reflection on how far the region has come, from holding the first elections here now down the line of our fifth set since our region was revitalised and democratised. The journey for me begun, with my initial 6 months as Deputy Prime Minister and 18 months serving as Prime Minister, and the majority of this time serving as our regional delegate. IÂ’m immensely proud of what weÂ’ve achieved in The Region That Has No Big Banks in this period, indulge me for a moment whilst I revisit a few of our many achievements.

WeÂ’ve cultivated an active and closely knit community, developed many new bonds with a number of regions (opening 10+ embassies and 2 foreign treaties), weÂ’ve joined the InterLeft, Jellyfish Elite Fighting Force, weÂ’ve hosted a Summer & Winter Festival, weÂ’ve hosted at least eight Games Nights (and numerous amounts of other events), weÂ’ve had great participation in numerous Ndays and Zdays. WeÂ’ve revitalised RolePlay within the region including General and Sports RP, weÂ’ve brought back the Social Reformer releasing four editions (read by a total of 1500+ nations). Most recently we made another major landmark my passing our new Constitution.

I know this doesnÂ’t even scratch the surface of everything that has happened in the last two years. I want to thank all of you for making this possible and making serving as Prime Minister such a privilege. I want to thank a few nations especially.

Firstly Yodle, for initially showing the faith in me to lead and become delegate of this region, [nation]Yodle[/nation] is the stalwart of TRTHNBB and always [nation]Yodle[/nation] had my back, with his advice helping to mold the region to where we are today. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]Ardeyn[/nation] for their support and guidance throughout my entire premiership in the executive office. In the early days, [nation]Ardeyn[/nation] was instrumental in their role as Deputy PM, Minister of Foreign Affairs, supporting with Parliament and many aspects of regional management. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]The Washington Federation[/nation], for their great work in the role of DPM and formerly Minister of Culture. Put simply [nation]The Washington Federation[/nation] did a sterling job of revitalising the Cultural Affairs in the region bringing us four seasons of the BFL and managing a number of Olympic games. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]Socialistic Britain[/nation] for their brilliant work revitalising the Cultural Affairs too, their amazing artwork has contributed so much to many a social reformer article. They also have done a sterling job as Cartographer and managing the map RP for such a long time. A special shoutout to [nation]America The Greater[/nation], for their recent return to the region, theyÂ’ve done a sterling job as Speaker of Parliament but most importantly leading on finalising our regional constitution. Lastly, I want to thank my whole Cabinet; [nation]Sicario Mercenary Corps[/nation], [nation]Lawid[/nation], [nation]Lkandria[/nation], [nation]Lemona[/nation], and [nation]Mjau[/nation] for their work over the past 6 months (and more!).

The NUCL Premiership is over but itÂ’s the right time for me to stand down from Executive Office. We have many talented nations here who deserve their time to lead, to put their stamp on the leadership of the region, and ultimately improve it even further. This was the whole reason all that time ago I dared to believe I could help to make The Region That Has No Big Banks an even better region. Amidst occasional disagreements, conflicts, challenges, and disgraced nations, my overall experience has been immensely rewarding and a huge learning curve for me personally. Most significantly however, we've created a genuine sense of community, something that cannot be understated, and something which sets us apart from many other regions on NationStates. As alluded to last month, I will also be standing down as WA Delegate. This will allow me some freedom to participate in R/D. To reiterate! It has been my privilege to serve in a very important role in the region. Citizens, please ensure you are endorsing [nation]Yodle[/nation] who will continue to serve again as our delegate. And, of course, I will be happy to help and advise any future Regional Delegate, when the time comes for finding a successor.

To the next Prime Minister, you will have my full support, and I hope to help however I can under your administration. In addition, IÂ’d also like to say IÂ’m very pleased with the participation in the election process this time round, I believe it has been a testament to the democracy we have in this region. WhatÂ’s next for me? My aim is to be the ultimate advocate and champion for our region abroad. And helping to foster our foreign relations where possible. IÂ’m looking forward to focusing and spending more time on hosting and organising events for our region. I also look forward to helping with Inter-regional initiatives, in whatever shape and size they maybe.

So officially signing out as your Prime Minister and WA Delegate!

Kind regards

As many of you will know, TRTHNBB is currently in the midst of its Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister elections with voting closed tomorrow. This is a massively exciting time for the region as we anticipate the new era of leadership, IÂ’ve been very impressed with our aspiring candidates and IÂ’m looking forward to seeing what they achieve over their terms. I know many of us are eager for the results of the elections which will be released at a similar time tomorrow! But this does mean my premiership as PM has come to an endÂ

So, I wanted to take a moment to say, Thanks for Two Years!

The past few weeks have been especially nostalgic for me, with some deep reflection on how far the region has come, from holding the first elections here now down the line of our fifth set since our region was revitalised and democratised. The journey for me begun, with my initial 6 months as Deputy Prime Minister and 18 months serving as Prime Minister, and the majority of this time serving as our regional delegate. IÂ’m immensely proud of what weÂ’ve achieved in The Region That Has No Big Banks in this period, indulge me for a moment whilst I revisit a few of our many achievements.

WeÂ’ve cultivated an active and closely knit community, developed many new bonds with a number of regions (opening 10+ embassies and 2 foreign treaties), weÂ’ve joined the InterLeft, Jellyfish Elite Fighting Force, weÂ’ve hosted a Summer & Winter Festival, weÂ’ve hosted at least eight Games Nights (and numerous amounts of other events), weÂ’ve had great participation in numerous Ndays and Zdays. WeÂ’ve revitalised RolePlay within the region including General and Sports RP, weÂ’ve brought back the Social Reformer releasing four editions (read by a total of 1500+ nations). Most recently we made another major landmark my passing our new Constitution.

I know this doesnÂ’t even scratch the surface of everything that has happened in the last two years. I want to thank all of you for making this possible and making serving as Prime Minister such a privilege. I want to thank a few nations especially.

Firstly Yodle, for initially showing the faith in me to lead and become delegate of this region, [nation]Yodle[/nation] is the stalwart of TRTHNBB and always [nation]Yodle[/nation] had my back, with his advice helping to mold the region to where we are today. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]Ardeyn[/nation] for their support and guidance throughout my entire premiership in the executive office. In the early days, [nation]Ardeyn[/nation] was instrumental in their role as Deputy PM, Minister of Foreign Affairs, supporting with Parliament and many aspects of regional management. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]The Washington Federation[/nation], for their great work in the role of DPM and formerly Minister of Culture. Put simply [nation]The Washington Federation[/nation] did a sterling job of revitalising the Cultural Affairs in the region bringing us four seasons of the BFL and managing a number of Olympic games. IÂ’d also like to thank [nation]Socialistic Britain[/nation] for their brilliant work revitalising the Cultural Affairs too, their amazing artwork has contributed so much to many a social reformer article. They also have done a sterling job as Cartographer and managing the map RP for such a long time. A special shoutout to [nation]America The Greater[/nation], for their recent return to the region, theyÂ’ve done a sterling job as Speaker of Parliament but most importantly leading on finalising our regional constitution. Lastly, I want to thank my whole Cabinet; [nation]Sicario Mercenary Corps[/nation], [nation]Lawid[/nation], [nation]Lkandria[/nation], [nation]Lemona[/nation], and [nation]Mjau[/nation] for their work over the past 6 months (and more!).

The NUCL Premiership is over but itÂ’s the right time for me to stand down from Executive Office. We have many talented nations here who deserve their time to lead, to put their stamp on the leadership of the region, and ultimately improve it even further. This was the whole reason all that time ago I dared to believe I could help to make The Region That Has No Big Banks an even better region. Amidst occasional disagreements, conflicts, challenges, and disgraced nations, my overall experience has been immensely rewarding and a huge learning curve for me personally. Most significantly however, we've created a genuine sense of community, something that cannot be understated, and something which sets us apart from many other regions on NationStates. As alluded to last month, I will also be standing down as WA Delegate. This will allow me some freedom to participate in R/D. To reiterate! It has been my privilege to serve in a very important role in the region. Citizens, please ensure you are endorsing [nation]Yodle[/nation] who will continue to serve again as our delegate. And, of course, I will be happy to help and advise any future Regional Delegate, when the time comes for finding a successor.

To the next Prime Minister, you will have my full support, and I hope to help however I can under your administration. In addition, IÂ’d also like to say IÂ’m very pleased with the participation in the election process this time round, I believe it has been a testament to the democracy we have in this region. WhatÂ’s next for me? My aim is to be the ultimate advocate and champion for our region abroad. And helping to foster our foreign relations where possible. IÂ’m looking forward to focusing and spending more time on hosting and organising events for our region. I also look forward to helping with Inter-regional initiatives, in whatever shape and size they maybe.

So officially signing out as your Prime Minister and WA Delegate!

Kind regards

Phenomenal speech! In addition, I'll put in the spoiler below what the original speech that elevated NUCL into the Delegacy said:

[spoiler=Speech Announcing the Start of NUCL's Delegacy]Major Regional Announcement

3/16/22

Good evening everyone,

Cast in the fires of multiple raids on our Homeland and the ultimate loss of our original region of The Place That Has No Big Banks to the defunct raider group Hydra Command (TPTHNBB in safe hands today and has been for quite some time), the WA Delegacy of The Region That Has No Big Banks has been a monolith of stability. With a trusted native at the helm to serve as a Guardian for the region in the unlikely case of Yodle Ceasing to Exist (CTEing), it serves to prevent the same catalyst that forced the community to move to our current home to ever occur again. The hope was that if this were to hypothetically happen, a long-term, experienced, and trusted native to the region could swiftly implement measures to safeguard the region from outside invaders. This worked with Bernie Nation up until about 2 and a half years ago when the steward of the account stopped playing, Bernie Nation (now a puppet of mine), CTEÂ’d, and left an open power vacuum for the Delegacy.

I, as Founder, took control of the Delegacy after a Regional Record of 1107 days under Bernie NationÂ’s watch. The reason for my doing so was that at the time, I simply didnÂ’t have a person who would be the right fit in terms of competency, proven dedication to the community/region, and consistency in terms of activity and presence. Given these circumstances, I simply took over the role myself to hold it for when I did find that person who could be our next Bernie Nation, figuratively speaking of course, since no one can replace the iconic individual behind the historical nation.

Well, I am very excited this evening to announce that I believe I have found the right person for the job and that I am now ready to retire from my role as WA Delegate to this wonderful region that we all call home and hand off the role to a worthy candidate. IÂ’ll still be just as active, especially in the realm of World Assembly Affairs, the only difference here being that a true native and leader in the region will get the necessary experience and influence growth to one day safeguard the region if my nation ever CTEs, especially a native which I trust to take over if the time came. I have thought about this for some time and I have decided to democratize the process since thereÂ’s no current legal standardization on the process of appointments to WA Delegate, as far as I can remember. While Parliament would be a natural place to hold a vote for this, ultimately what determines the power of a delegate are the World Assembly nations themselves, not to mention that Parliament currently lacks the infrastructure and participation rate to make this vote truly democratic. With that being said, I will host the confirmation vote on the Regional Poll for a week and isolate it to only nations that play a direct role in the process of WA Delegates coming to power in the first place.

With the premise to this announcement fully established, I hereby appoint New United Common-Lands to the position of WA Delegate, and will put the appointment up to vote for the WA Nations of the region to confirm or deny the appointment.

As you are all likely already aware, New United Common-Lands is our currently serving Deputy Prime Minister. But what you may not be aware of is that he is also the primary author and coordinator of the revived The Social Reformer, the coordinator of the last election, which essentially jumpstarted the Regional Government back to life from a deep slumber, and is heavily invested in serving a major role in the actual implementation of ideas and projects that the Regional Government comes up with. You might not think thatÂ’s not as foundationally important as other traits. Still, speaking as the person who solely created all of the BBCode for the region and who has acted as the sole implementor of on-site and Discord-side changes, I can confidently say that New United Common-lands has both the drive and skillset needed to be a replacement for my current role. After all, that is what the WA Delegate was always meant to be in this region, a Guardian-like role for the region that can keep it alive and active in a worst-case scenario where all the responsibility of the Founder role is suddenly now their responsibility.

If the appointment of New United Common-Lands is successful, the transition process will immediately begin, wherein all WA Nations will be heavily encouraged to grant the endorsements necessary to complete the transfer of WA Delegacy within a set number of days, and if that threshold isnÂ’t reached in that time, I will resign from the World Assembly temporarily to ensure the transition is fulfilled. If the appointment is not confirmed, I will simply remain a WA Delegate until a suitable candidate surfaces once again.

I highly encourage all WA Nations to vote in the poll since your input is what matters more than anything else in this confirmation. Thank you to those who read the whole thing, didnÂ’t expect this to be this long lol.

It feels weird to think that your premiership is ending. Even when I got to this “corner” of NS, you were a prominent member of this region. This region is what led me to want to participate in regional governments, and your premiership was a huge part of that.

Also thanks for the meme inspiration :P
