Darkesia Obtains Delegacy
Posted Image
A new flag flies over The West Pacific.

On 28 August, the Delegate-In-Waiting Darkesia gained enough endorsements to overtake the outgoing Delegate All Good People, also known as Westwind, and assume the in-game delegacy. In her first address to the region, she announced that a Generalite, Fearless, was being appointed a regional Guardian to represent the Generalite community in The West Pacific. She also announced that Huangshi would become the regional Scribe, and readers can look forward to seeing his features in future updates. She called for the free and fair election of a Prime Minister, as well...

Intelligent Holograms Elected Prime Minister

Intelligent Holograms, the newly elected Prime Minister

Westwind stepped aside as Prime Minister, and Intelligent Holograms motioned the Speaker to open up nominations for Prime Minister. The candidates were God-Emperor and Intelligent Holograms. Intelligent Holograms got six votes, and God-Emperor got one vote. Congratulation to Intelligent Holograms for becoming Prime Minister of TWP.

Bhang Bhang Duc Reinstated As A Guardian

Bhang Bhang Duc makes his way back into the Council Of The Guardians

One of outgoing Delegate All Good People's final acts as delegate was to announce the resolution of hostilities between Bhang Bhang Duc and the Council Of The Guardians, and BBD was subsequently reinstated as a Guardian with the release of the following statement.

Quote:
 
The Guardianship Pledge

Acknowledging the pre-eminence of Snark, Chocolate, Evil, Karaoke, Rum and Anti-Marsupialism in The West Pacific, We the undersigned Guardians of The West Pacific pledge to accept and defend these principles, while respecting the individual opinions and beliefs of each Guardian.

P.S. Welcome back BBD

Signed,
The Guardians


The Holy Grand Assembly Recap

The recent Prime Minister election raised a question in the mind of at least one Assemblyman about what would happen if an individual previous appointed to a position was elected to another, and would and should that individual retain both positions. The rationale was that occupying only one position at a time would allow for more citizens to get involved in government. The proposal gained some support, but whether or not a draft of the legislation is forthcoming remains to be seen. The election of Intelligent Holograms did not lead this situation to arise, but he is using the Assembly as his temporary office until construction on the new Prime Minister Office is complete.

The West Pacific & The South Pacific Reopen Embassies

On 3 October, Delegate Darkesia informed the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs of high level negotiations between herself and Delegate Kringalia of The South Pacific. The end result of said negotiations was the construction of embassies between the two regions for the first time since Milograd's coup of The South Pacific eighteen months ago. The Ministers Of Foreign Affairs for the respective regions welcomed each other back into their region's in an official capacity with open arms. Prime Minister Intelligent Holograms will be operating as the face of The West Pacific in The South Pacific during the somewhat delicate, early days of these renewed relations.

Darkesia Announces New Endorsement Cap Policy

On 27 September, Delegate Darkesia lowered the regional endorsement cap to ten endorsements. The policy shift found six nations with a number of endorsements above the new cap, and all six nations were promptly telegrammed to inform them of the new policy. It was determined that five of the six nations read the warning, and it wasn't heeded by any of the five. They were subsequently ejected from the region. None of the nations ejected were active members of the region or the community, as a whole. No word on the sixth nation.

Simply Country Reelected Speaker Of The Holy Grand Assembly

When Simple Country's three month term as Speaker of the Holy Grand Assembly was up, Speaker elections commenced. He stood for re-election and ran uncontested, making this more akin to a confirmation vote. Nine Assemblymen voted for Simple Country and two abstained, re-electing Simple Country to a third term as Speaker. Congratulations to Speaker Simple Country.

Military and Intelligence Bill Passed

Prime Minister Intelligent Holograms proposed a bill to merge the Imperial Secret Service and The West Pacific Armed Forces into one organization, The West Pacific Department of Defense. After many back and forth debates, the bill went to vote and was passed with 75% of Assemblymen in favor.

Speaker Simple Country Elected Prime Minister; Succeeded By Elegarth

On 7 December, Speaker Simple Country opened nominations for Prime Minister and Speaker of the Holy Grand Assembly of The West Pacific. With nominations open, he announced his candidacy for Prime Minister. Westwind, a former Delegate, Prime Minister, and current guardian, nominated Foreign Affairs Minster God-Emperor for PM, and the nomination was seconded by another former Delegate and current Guardian, Bhang Bhang Duc. Elegarth announced his candidacy for the Speakership, and Speaker Simple Country nominated Little Sealand to run opposite him.

Simple Country was elected Prime Minister with 63% of the vote. Elegarth was elected Speaker of the Holy Grand Assembly with 70% of the vote.

HGA Adopts Civil Code

On 12 December, the Holy Grand Assembly of The West Pacific adopted the Civil Code For Uniform Justice And Order by a margin of 90% for and only 10% against. The Civil Code has made, among other things, 'failure to become aligned with the delegate' an offense punishable by banjection to The Rejected Realms.

The West Pacific Defense Alliance Refounded

On 7 December, The West Pacific Defense Alliance, a region that has been used as a jump point by various militaries over the past year, but notably not by The West Pacific Armed Forces (WPAF), was refounded by WPAF in a renewed effort to protect WPAF's brand throughout the world.

In other news, Fandom Alliance was secured by WPAF's Reef Hounds a short time later.

Delegate Darkesia Announces Essay Contest

On 2 December, Delegate Darkesia announced her intention to start a mentoring program for The West Pacific's best and brightest to become 'career track delegates' on TWP's Regional Message Board and forum. Prospective mentees were asked to answer the questions, "How do you view the relationship between the on-site (gameside) RMB and the off-site community forum? In what ways would you you change thing to make reality reflect your views, and how would you help get the nations of the region to actively support this move?"

The question has since been answered by Speaker Elegarth, Field Commander Fratellnoir, Foreign Affairs Minister God-Emperor, Liberillia, Little Sealand, Prime Minister Simple Country, and Whisperville, and all answers can be found by following the link for watching the debate on the World Factbook Entry.

The West Pacific Foreign Affairs Ministry would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season.
