Region: Valaryia
Chill out guys, he's probably just got up an hour or two ago
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Twenty minutes actually lol
Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
We will be holding them very shortly.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
We will first be holding elections for the officer council, the first position is Councilor of Regional Affairs, who shall hold privileged power over polling, communications, and borders.
Those seeking to run for this position may send me a telegram or a message in the RMB announcing their run
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Just to explain, the other councilor positions that shall be voted for later are, Councilor of International Affairs who will have power over borders and embassies, Councilor of Ecological Affairs who will have power or polls and borders and will maintain responsibility over any laws relating to the environment, Councilor of Economic Affairs who will once again hold power over communications, polls and border and will be responsible for any laws pertaining to economic expansion and will balance with the Councilor of Ecological Affairs.
And because I'm dumb and forgot yo mention all councilors will have access to the polling system it's just some will be entrusted with more free way with them.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I assume no one can run for two different spots, such as president and councilor.
However, you could run for any one position, right?
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
There are no restrictions to run for any position other than your previous position, so yes a president cannot also be on the council, but if say you were on the council once and wish to run for a different seat then you may or if you were the president and wish to abdicate your seat and run under the council or vice versa, Koranz you're currently our provisional president when we hold our presidential elections I recommend you run under that as you have proven experience.
Koranz, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
The only area that is blurry is what I can do, I outlined that my administrative powers can only be active with the Plea Vote, and I can't run for president but other than that I don't really know what I can do, wether or not I can run for council, wether or not I can vote in elections, or wether or not I am allowed to give my opinion on acts and potentially influence them I'm going to leave these questions with you guys and allowed the region to decide where my role as founder begins and ends.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I think you could be in the senior council thing, and sort of advise officers but not actually run for positions.
Except for president maybe. You could potentially run for president.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I hope I'm not intruding but i'm doing a constitution for The Akua Isles
I would like some advice, if you don't mind if you would like to help me out
Sincerely, Rioneeee
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
No intrusion, we're always willing to assist our friends, what might you need help with?
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
here it is https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1791525 but im not done with it yet
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I haven't read it all quite yet but the first thing I'm noticing is it's quite hefty, a constitution should be a foundational document, it should be very concise and straight to the point any other document's or laws after can be filled to the brim to cover all the bases a constitution should be more open to allow change and interpretation in the future.
Rioneeee, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.
As the election is going to happen in a matter of days, I have decided that I will run for the office Councillor of Regional Affairs to maintain public announcements and communications between the region government and assistance in moderation.
You may ask, "Why I should vote for you?"
Well, these are things that are to be taken into your consideration;
A. I was the WA Delegate and the Prime Minister (Some sort of head of the region government) in the region of The Kaliningrad Division. (Before the closure, of course. I can't really explain why it was closed, but mainly it was because of dispute with the old founder and the new founder. I may explain it further in telegram if you want, since this is very complicated.)
B. I was a Discord moderator in a server with 15,000 members. Was also a Roleplay manager there. I retired 1 year ago as Roleplay manager on that server inexchange for the moderator role, and then I retired this year, back in March of this year. (The server's name is Kaliningrad Division, and they used to have a nationstates region, as I mentioned above, however the server lasted until to this day.)
C. I was a founder of a region, named the-so-called "International Society" until I decided to close it.
D. Author of a failed WA resolution, with only 58 signatories. (I need 62 signatories for the proposal to be passed to the GA.)
E. I am currently a Roleplay manager in a Discord roleplay server with 100+ members.
I think there's much more.
But these things are the ones I can guarantee and prove.
Thank you for reading this long campaign message.
Achlavania, Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Rodoa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
thank you
for your advice i will try my best to do that
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I've read all the posts, after getting up, and then I saw the big campaign of Skelleftella. So, I don't have that much reasons so that you can vote me for the Councilor of Regional Affairs, but I've a couple of reasons so that you can vote me as the Councilor of Ecological Affairs.
*please remember that any of these reasons are not matching with the NS Stats, except of the graphs.
1) I maintained diplomacy with the other nations in The Western Isles, especially with my two close TWI members, Esterazdravo and Crucemia, through the Project Mringalaya.
2) I've created many acts concerning environment and agriculture, especially the Frogarias Act and the Agrarias Act.
3) My nation is a full CNG-and-ELECTRIC powered state, which means that petroleum and diesel aren't used here.
4) We've completely banned mining, to give priority to environmental protection and ecological safety, and to ensure that the precious metals underground aren't exploited by top-notch companies. Another reason is that to not displace the tribes.

Skelleftella, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I still wonder how I got 100,35 in terms of economic efficiency index
Despite stringent health, environment and safety regulations
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Your economy got boosted somehow due to the slow rising of your economic output by issues. Ikr that our economic output increases automatically day by day, but I'm talking about the increasing of the output by issues.
I think you are governing your country superb.
Skelleftella, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Economic output is mostly influenced by population but yeah it is true that issues do influence the economic output.
Uhm thanks I guess?
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Oh yeah sure!
Skelleftella, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
If no one else steps up to run, it seems Skelleftella is going to win the Councilor Of Regional Affairs by default.
I'll give it the next 12 hours, should no one else run skelleftella shall win as default and no election will be held.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I'll also give the councilor seat to skelleftella prematurely if the region holds a consensus and enough of you agree they should hold the position
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
What?
No election?
That isn't fair! we should held an election.
But the choice is just "Yes/Aye" and "No/Nay" instead of candidates since no one else is running for the office.
Achlavania, Canadian North California, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Aye Aye Captain
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Yes Achlavania. The democracy should work, the election should be held, if there's even no one to stop.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Read this.

Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I agree with my fellow Valaryians. Even if there's only one candidate, there should still be a choice of the people. E.g:
Should skelleftella become councillor?
a) yes
b) no, new set of candidates
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Yes, Skelleftella should become the Councilor of Regional Affairs/CRA. As he told many ideal and logical reasons as a campaign as to become a CRA...
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Hearing to all of your cases, I have created a poll to weather or not our friend Skelleftella Should receive the seat and become Councilor Of Regional Affairs.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
In case it wasn't already obvious, anyone can vote in the elections? Including, in this case, Skelleftella? (Any nicknames? Skell? Tella?)
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Nicknames?
Hmmmm, I never thought of that lol
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Achlavania wait... May I vote or nah?
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Considering the nature of the elections, and since Koranz already said you could, I'ma say yes, you may.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
After the elections for Skellie (oh yeah that's the nickname of Skelleftella), can the elections for the Councilor of Ecological Affairs be held? I think I'm the only one running for it. Here's my campaign message!
Koranz, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Oh, Valaryians! Please vote fast for Skellie's poll! This poll will decide the fate of Skellie in 49 minutes!
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Just found my second Easter egg, today's been fun
Koranz, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
What's an easter egg? I haven't got that, so I asked...
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
They're special issues that are entirely unique, you get a badge each time you get one
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Following their run for a seat on the council, and after a successful election, having won by a landslide of yays, Skelleftella is hereby entrusted with the following powers and duties.
The Councilor of Regional Affairs is given a unique position, holding a seat on the council and acting as an intermediary between the council and general regional population, the Councilor of Regional Affairs is entrusted with the powers over the RMB, polling and elections, and in turn is responsible for upkeeping compassion, empathy, and comradery within the region, Skelleftella it is now your duty for your full term to upkeep the balance between the council and region, as Founder I hereby grant Skelleftella these powers, and officially form the Officer Council.
Skelleftella, Swedesttanossa, Rodoa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Congrats Skellie! It would be a great responsibility for you to manage the regional affairs of this region.
Also, I would like to have a poll for the Councilor of Ecological Affairs, and I'm running for it...
Skelleftella, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Following the suggestion of Swedesttanossa the next election will be the Councilor Of Ecological affairs, so far only swedesttanossa has ran for the position we will wait for the following day for anyone else to announce their run, until than the electoral cycle is hereby adjourned temporarily until the next election.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
How can we get these types of "special issues"?
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
They sorta just happen, no way to force them
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I won't be running for any offices at the moment, as I'm waiting to run for President.
However, I would like to encourage Rodoa, Sal Radonia, East Nounde Freion, Fombialt Hown and Canadian North California to vote and run for offices, as they are some of our more active members that haven't been so online recently.
Rion, Ban-Kiraly and Dniprooooo, you are all obviously still free to vote and run for office, but you kinda never show signs of life.
Helkiette, Achlavanian Vultaren and Imperial Anraitis are alt accounts, and as such, not permitted to vote nor run for office.
The rest are all either in a position already, or about to run for it.
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Thanks!
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I will hold these powers with responsibilities.
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Congratulations to Skelleftella! Just noticed I hadn't congratulated you, and realised I had to.
Achlavania, Skelleftella, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Thank you!
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Congrats on becoming an officer Skelleftella! 👏
Achlavania, Skelleftella, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Can I get an idea of what seats are still available also I would like to purpose the idea of a culture minister, as head of the holiday commission and who would be responsible for regional holidays and fleshing out regional roleplay and sort of weaving our regions cultural into something more tangible and of course apply for it too:)
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I think we should have a discord server dedicated for this region so that we can communicate easier and faster.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Achlavania is already on it
Skelleftella, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Nice.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Ay Valaryia! What's going on in the region?
BTW...I wanted to ask Achlavania that if there is plenty of time...why not conduct elections for Councilor of Ecological Affairs? Why not just do it in a few hours?
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I can conduct polls, however I am not sure if I have the full power to conduct an election without prior perms from Achlavania.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
You have the power to conduct elections...as Ache has already written it as a power. Read this!
"...the Councilor of Regional Affairs is entrusted with the powers over the RMB, polling and elections, and in turn is responsible for upkeeping compassion,..."
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Yeah, I've read those sentences, but since you've stated that again...
I think it's time to try
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Wait... no! I forgot that you need to run the officer for 26 hours before you can do anything
Welp, ouch
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Ok. You were appointed 19 hours ago, just a couple more time. But, where is the rule of 26 hours before anything written?
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
So... I've somehow achieved a frightening economy
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Nice!
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
4 hours more, Skellie.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
It's the game system, not region rule or smth lol
Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
OK, I understood that.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I can't call a 24h polls/election before 26 hr but I can call a week-long poll
Huh, interesting
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I've started my work on how to learn Swedesttanossan.
Please note that this factbook will be extended, having not only letters, but words, sentences, paragraphs and even stories!

Valaryian Burvenchkaht
LeafyCranberry is no longer dead
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I'll probably just quit nation states entirely, I have stuff outside of this game (Congrats to Koranz on the belated 1 billion which I missed)
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Thanks
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
The poll for Swedesttanossa run for a seat upon the council has begun, thus initiating our second election cycle, I encourage all of you to participate.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Hey Achlavania! I was saying that if nobody says Nay for I becoming the Councilor of Ecological Affairs...then you can appoint me today...right?
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Um yeah? I mean thats kind of how elections work lol
Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I'm happy to see that everybody support me to become the Councilor of Ecological Affiars. But, what about Rion, Ban-Kiraly and Dniprooooo? Y'all seem to be extinct. I'm not including Rodoa because he's type of dormant, but whatever. Please interact with us, you're missing the feeling between friends! NationStates isn't just about answering issues or writing factbooks, it's like a friendzone, along with a gaming platform, if we including N-Day and Z-Day, soooo you can understand...
Fun Fact- Rion's motto is "We will survive", I don't think so...
Koranz, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I do check the RMB everyday, but I dont really talk that much
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Ban-Kiraly is never active. I know him irl...
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Are the phonetics how you would pronounce it if you're singing the alphabet?
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
With mere minutes left, the odds are estimated (courtesy of webet4u.kz) at 97.16% in favour of Swedesttanossa obtaining the position of Councillor of Ecological Affairs.
Congratulations in advance!
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Following their successful run for Councilor Of Ecological Affairs, Swedesttanossa has now earned a seat upon the council and the following responsibilities.
As Councilor of Ecological Affairs you will have the power over polling but only for votes in relation to the state of ecology and environmentalism, you will be entrusted to look upon acts and laws for the ecologically with favor and entrusted with upholding these laws and balancing them with the individual rights of member states, you will define the lines of where the rights of the ecological system end and where the rights of Valaryian member states begin, as founder I herby declare Swedesttanossa Councilor of Regional Affairs and place the electoral cycle in recess for the coming day, the next election with be Councilor of Economic Affairs announce your runs now.
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
20 years of nationstates that's insane, this website is one year older than me that is crazy, happy nationstates day or whatever we call this.
Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Sounds like a new holiday to me ;) happy NationStates day!
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Also don't forget to get your cards put in the game!!
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
My new card is rare my season two one was common
Canadian North California, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I missed out on the season 2 for this account and I think my first too now that I think back
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
What? I will have my new card? Yeah!
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I'll do my duty with the support of all Valaryians. But, to start my duty, I've to conduct polls on my long-awaiting acts of The Animalé Katashimé Act and The AASA Act.
And, I've already started it! And by today, the second eco-report publishing is confirmed!
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Swedesttanossa I understand your eagerness for passing of new laws, however whilst the electoral commission is in recess the election season is still on going, I must ask you to retract your current poll and wait until the election season is over.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I understand your reason. I'm retracting the poll right now.
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Thank you very much
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Congratulations!
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I've inscribed my card.
I recommend you guys to do the same btw.
Oh yes also if anyone asked why did the Alpentager Proposal aka the moderation council act was not on vote yet;
Just letting you know that the proposal will be on vote once we reached 20 or 30 members.
We lack senior member and peoples running for councilor position, so yeah. I think I will delay it until uncertain amount of times. Unless you guys wanted it to be on vote...
Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Post self-deleted by Koranz.
Im just asking to give the Embassies Authority. I know some regions containing eco-dorks and pacifists.
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
To be honest, in my opinion, we should held a general referendum everytime we wanted to construct embassies.
Also I think we should replace the phrase "friendship and freedom" on the region factbook to "environmentalism and friendship".
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Would you like to hear a story mixed in with a rant that explains why freedom is outlined as a core concept for the region?
Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Do it.
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
I don't see a why not.
Achlavania, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Why don't write environmentalism, friendliness and freedom? What's the problem by writing three?
Achlavania, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Koranz here likely is already familiar with the story as he was there, but for everyone who wasn't please read this and remember, Me and Koranz were once apart of a different region to remain on good terms with inter regional diplomacy I will refrain from name dropping the region all that matters is in that region there were a series of moderators who took themselves too seriously, rules were enforced so heavily that Koranz was temporarily banned from the region for no real reason, I myself was warned for participating in some dumb silly RP that no one took seriously just to kill some time, they enforced quite alot of rules for the rmb and insisted etiquette be a thing for a digital chat room, I thought that this was so pretentious but it was made worse by a series of nations who weren't even on the moderation team who constantly micro modded the whole region, it felt like I couldn't even breath without breaking forty seven different rules, having enough I left and formed Valaryia with the intention of creating a region that didn't care about something as ridiculous as "rmb etiquette" a region that would only ban people with a serious and concise region, a region where you can talk and have genuine conversation without being interrupted by five nations and two moderators for breaking RMB etiquette or a long list of rules no one can truly follow, and so Valaryia was born, so I don't think Valaryia should ever lose freedom as a core concept after all the want to have a free region is why Valaryia is here to begin with.
Skelleftella, Koranz, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht
We can always add more
Valaryian Burvenchkaht
Impressive. However, the "environmentalism and friendship" thing is intended as indirect critics. But the thing is,
How we can include freedom as a core concept for the region when nations are regulated in the way they are being ran, for example, environmental regulations?
Isn't that's contradictory?
I do, indeed supported regulations and laws, but when we are tied to too many regulations and laws,
then, where is the freedom to do something? Isn't that's just a contradiction to the concept of freedom?
(not to be rude but...)
Several days ago, I asked on RMB "what if someone broke a law that involved running of your nation, for example frogarias act?"
Swedesttanossa replied "warn for several times, and then ban".
I know that Swedesttanossa doesn't have the power to ban a nation yet, but
I fear that someone will be banned just because they wanted to run nation the way they wanted.
We should regulate less and guarantee the freedom of running nation the way you liked in this region.
also, would you like to hear my story on how I was banned in The Kaliningrad Division (which is now a dead region) despite me, being the WA Delegate and head of the regional government of that region before?
