NStralia 2015 I reject your Cabinet, and substitute my own It's the 1st of January 2015 in NStralia (hereby referred to as Australia). After a sudden and extraordinary spate of resignation throughout the entire Senate, culminating in the entire government AND opposition being either shooed out of office or discredited entirely, Sir Peter Cosgrove has called for a double dissolution. This is good news for the hopeful savvy Australian politicians you all are. Issues are up in the air and ready to be foisted onto a betrayed Australian populace looking for some new blood. With the resignations and double dissolution, support for an independent Australian republic has come out on par with the core political machine of the monarchist organizations. At a tentative time for Australian trade, as well as with the election of a new President in Sri Lanka who threatens to derail - or save - Australia's refugee strategy, foreign policy is all to play for. With the unpopular Tony Abbott gone and the Labor Party's union heavyweights stricken out of office, new blood could invigorate party politics, as the Australian people resign themselves to a tense and uncertain first term while new Senators come to grips with their new spotlights. The House of Representatives will, of course, roughly mirror the results of the Senatorial elections that you will all be running for, given the concurrent elections. Between the two largest parties, the one that is more right wing will do better in the Liberal-leaning states, and the left wing in the Labor-leaning states. If there is enough space, all of the applicants will become Ministers or Shadow Ministers, and new applicants will probably replace NPC ministerial positions upon joining. The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition will be NPCs. Senator Application Name Age State of Origin Preferred Portfolio as a Minister or Shadow Minister Preferred Party [Suggestions: The Liberal Party (Specify either Conservative Right or Moderate Liberals), the Australian Labor Party (Specify either Labor Left or Labor Right), the Greens] The RP will begin as Senators give their victory speeches, outlining (or not) their plans for their stint in the Senate and in politics. Senators will have NPC staff who will take care of all the nitty-gritty of laws at your behest. Instead, this RP will be about trading favours, attacking your political rivals (on both sides of politics), and the ever-present task of thinking up and selling your policies. I will play God with the Australian people - unexpected results, ballooning costs, and the world at large will throw an egalitarian spanner into the works to keep politics fresh. Good luck, Honorable Senator. |

The Grim Reaper has not been on since late January, so I'd not expect this RP to get moving. However, I really like the idea of this RP, so, if there's sufficient interest, I think we could try to do this. | ||

This is actually looking pretty promising. If we get a few more people, I think we could pull this off. Would anyone like to volunteer to be "God" in RP if The Grim Reaper can't make it? I think we might want it to be someone who isn't actually RP-ing. I could do it, if nobody else minds or wants to do it themselves. In the meantime, I'll try to contact The Grim Reaper. TGR could come back and be the mod of this RP, or, if he can't/doesn't want to, I'd love it if he could give me or whoever the mod will be a few tips on how to mod this, a situation or two he might have been planning, etc. | ||

Thank you Alta Italia. I very pleased for you or GM to mod this game, should GM respond to your message. I hope we can get a few more, I too think this rp potentially holds lots of fun. |

I think that could be a good idea. However, I'm just going to advertise this on the Australian RMB, and see where that takes us. I'll definitely consider asking other regions for help, though. My first thought is The North Pacific: they have a very active RP sector now, they've had close ties with our region ever since the refound, and, of course, many of us, it seems, including myself, have ties with TNP already, too. | ||

The Grim Reaper has said that, though he is currently busy with RL stuff, he would be able to participate in about a week or two. I think that's good, because that gives us more time to advertise this and get more people to sign up. Meanwhile, I had a conversation with the Delegate of The North Pacific via IRC. Here's what happened, after I explained the situation: <Alta_Italia>: Could I advertise the RP in TNP's Roleplay section? <Tomb>: Alta, as much as I want to say yes, I cannot, because that could be taken as a regional recruitment ad. However, if you want to, you can make it formally a joint-RP between members of TNP and Australia. I am fine with it being held on Australia's forum, and I can even put a link to it in the WFE. Are you guys fine with this? I, myself, am all for it; in fact, in my opinion, it's even better than what we were hoping for. |

As inactive Australian TNP ambassador ( I must fix that) I am all for this idea. I really enjoy inter-regional activities, they are terrific for everyone |

Oh, I thought I had posted something yesterday, and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. Oh, well. I'm still getting nations for this, and, so far, I've been pretty successful. I believe that's a sign of a good RP. | ||

Cascadia, congratulations! You are now a Member of Parliament of NStralia. Tomb, the Delegate of The North Pacific, just telegrammed everyone in the entire region about the joint RP. We're already getting TNPers to sign up, including our first to officially do so on the forums, which is awesome. I'll go ahead and say that this is going to be a sign-up & OOC thread. I'll create the actual RP thread closer to the start date, Monday 20 April. Thanks, everybody! Let's make this a great RP! Edited by Alta Italia, Apr 18 2015, 10:11 AM.
