It's that time of the year again. Sorry about that.
I believe that I can achieve a lot with one final term. As delegate, I've already managed to do a lot, and the results show. But with your help, I believe we can do even greater things. I know it's a big ask seeking a third term, but I know that if you give me your support, I can continue to dedicate myself to doing as much as I can for the region.
I have been a member of the region since I founded my nation on the 3rd of July, 2011. Since then, I have acquired quite a curriculum vitae.
- Served as Minister of Domestic Affairs consecutively for 5 terms
- Served as Delegate for 2 consecutive terms
- Been in-charge of the official regional map for nearly 3 years, overseeing the change from a basic map into a detailed, HD version
- Written and assisted in writing bills and legislation passed by the Open Parliament, and co-written World Assembly GA Resolutions with fellow member-states
- Served as the ambassador to 2 of our longest-standing allies; the Democratic Socialist Assembly, and the International Democratic Union
- Been a highly-active and creative role-player and member of the region
- Invented, introduced and maintained the weekly delegate's Fireside Chat to the region
- Ensured a high-level of activity on a regular basis, to both safeguard the security of the region and the stable and smooth running of government
- Been the honoured recipient of the Ainish Order of Merit; the first person ever to receive the honour in the region
So, what are my plans for the region? I want to continue the excellent progress we've been making so far, and complete all that I set out to do from day 1. I also want to continue working with your other government representatives to ensure the region meets the needs of its members whatever the weather, whatever the global mood, whatever the situation.
I pledge to:
- Continue the process of ensuring a full and active judiciary is provided to the members of the region, as part of my drive to ensure all necessary positions are filled according to the constitution
- Ensure the Cabinet, through the delegate, is able to report-back and provide up-to-the-minute essential information to the region, and that all member-states are always in the loop
- As ever, host and be present, week after week, for the Fireside Chat, which ensures members can get-together in a social atmosphere and ask questions of their government in a relaxed and informal manner
- Work with the Department of Defence on completing a formal plan-of-action in the event of any emergency to ensure continuity and safety for the member states of the region
- Support the Ministry of Domestic Affairs in its bid to encourage more role-playing and creative initiative by whatever means the Minister deems necessary
- Assist as much as is required in ensuring an active mentoring system is present for nations who desire it, as part of the initiatives of the Ministry of Domestic Affairs
- Engage, alongside the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in pursuing, establishing, and cementing beneficial diplomatic and cultural ties with allied regions and potential partners
- Bolster the efforts of the Ministry of Immigration by pursuing future NS++ immigration tools and ensuring the ministry is provided with up-to-the-minute information and means of recruiting within the terms of the Arnhelm Declaration
- Continue to pursue a "firm but fair" immigration policy, protecting the integrity of the constitution, being fair and supportive to nations with good intentions, and taking action on genuine offenders
- Encourage more World Assembly-related discussions and formation of bills within the region to be submitted to said organ
- Seek new and interesting ways of improving and developing the social atmosphere of the region, through both NationStates' own means and those of external websites
- Foster and be a creative input in the discussion of ways to enhance the feeling of citizenship among member-states
- Work with the various ministries of the region to give the SLU a more prominent place in the NationStates community
- Continue to give-out cookies on a regular basis (::) (::) (::) (::) (::)
But I- wait, you're right. Time to shush and let you ask me any questions you might have. Any questions are fine- even ridiculous ones involving giraffes' hats and cookware for the gastronomically-impaired. Go on, fire away! :D
