Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

This is our first update!

Equilism Update for 04/01/10 - 04/18/10

Delegate: Kubrikistan, 35 endorsements
Population: 146
Security Status: Guarded

In the Government
The merger with the AoSS slogs into its third month, though very little has happened recently. Here's hoping it will be resolved soon, one way or t'other!

The Assembly is ready to vote on the Legislative Corrections Act, an amendment to the Bill of Rights, and a major overhaul of the Legal Proceedings Act. Voting will start when the First Minister decides to get around to recognizing the requisite motions. Everybody poke The Monkye!

World Assembly Results

Meteorological Cooperation Act
Against: 3-1-1

Commend Yelda
For: 5-1

Condemn Ninja Pirate awesome town
Against: 2-1

Microcredit and Microgrants Act
Against: 5-1

WA Numeration and Units Act
Against: 5-1-1

Condemn Aegara
Against: 5-3

Repeal "Condemn Ninja Pirate awesome town" (Still pending)
For: 8-1

Internet Net Neutrality Act (Still pending)
For: 6-2

Drug Trafficking Act (Still pending)
No votes!

Domestic Affairs
The Caesars Festival is going well, with the Gladitorial Contest already underway. Other competitions should be starting shortly! But that's what we said last time, so we'll forgive you if you don't believe us.

Grand Kierania won the E-points competition for its inaugural month, March. A shiny reward medal is in the works!

Fun and Games
A trend has arisen in the "Who will post next" thread, with people aiming to continue calling out Nai until she arrives.

Role Playing
Israel has attacked Iran's nuclear facilities, there is unrest in the Mong-Kai empire despite new rail lines being built, Uthranians are plundering and pillaging and there is a strange force moving in the north.

Immigration
Kubrikistan has won the most recent recruitment award, but regional population is falling because of an overall lack of interest in recruiting.

Foreign Affairs
Everyone's gone and only Astarial remains. :( Won't somebody be my friend?

Also Astarial has created a brand new Updates Writer award, and has declared herself the three-time winner! But only because the rest of the department is AWOL and who else would bother to read these updates and see that she's just blatantly making things up now? Nobody, that's who!

E-Army
Dateline: 06April10

The E-Army moved into the Rejected Realms early on the day of April 6th, 2010 after some "Copycat wanna be somebody" ejected all his endorsers in the Region Grand Central. Defenders from all over NS moved in as well as the E-Army, but not enough support could be gotten in such a short notice, and the raider freak took the seat from long time friend of Equilism, Kandarin.

Over the next several hours, defenders (and raiders) poured into The Rejected Realms to support Kandarin (or the other guy).

At the next update, one nation endorsing the enemy left the region after update began, but before it had finished. This vaulted Kandarin to the delegacy, and allowed the E-Army and the many supporters of Kandarin to snatch victory in a mere 12 hours.

The battle was tough, and testament to the RMB, fun for all involved. It had all the drama you would expect of such an invasion. People preaching the merits of activity, people preaching against the merits of region crashers. Of course with this being The Rejected Realms, Whamabama, the E-Army Chief of Staff has mandated daily P.T. till the troops loose all the weight they gained while dining on the excellent BBQ.


Quote of the Week: "Super Evil-Founder of Equilism, Naivetry, have asked me to pass a message to all of her poor subject that she will be killing them en masse starting Friday afternoon*." ~Felasia

Has been busy creating embassies and establishing relations with other regions, these include the BeNe-Confederation, United Kingdom and the Galactic Empire. The FA minister has recently written a call for members to stand up to the challenge of being an ambassador in order to help fix the ambassador gap problem that the region is currently facing.

A recent election for the secretary general has taken place and this is the results.

All of Man Kind 1

So if Role Playing is your interest, Equilism is a great place to check out.

Thanks for the update Phen!

My advice for getting ambassadors, is to shout loudly constantly until people listen. :P We had about 3 ambassadors when I started in this department. I started the 'Ambassadors Wanted!' thread (you can find it pinned in FA) and bumped it about twice a day. At one point, when we were very low, I PMed every active player who wasn't already an ambassador.


@ dL: Updates like this are normally written by a Minister (for example, I write ours) and are then posted to all the embassies that region has. Obviously, if you have a lot of embassies, it takes a while to post them all.

Election Time!
Since our last update, Equilism has had its quarterly First Minister Election. It was a tight race between Tycholand and Astarial, but it was eventually won by the former with a plurality of the votes. Abstain and The Monkye also ran.

The Results are as follows:
Tycholand: 7 (46.67%)
The Monkye: 2 (13.33%)
Astarial: 6 (40.0%)
Abstain: 0 (0%)

Tycholand campaigned on improving the performance of the government, returning its focus to itself after the previous term’s focus on improving community aspects. Obviously, this hit a chord with the voters, so you should now look forward to more regular updates!

In the Government

First Minister Tycholand got straight down to business in creating a new cabinet:

Quote:
 
Dear fellow Assembly members,

I’d like to put before you for approval the May 2010 Cabinet.

Minister of Domestic Affairs: Dyr Nassad
Minister of Foreign Affairs: The Monkye
Minister of Immigration: Astarial
Minister of the Military: Whamabama

The coming period will be a challenging one due to the Summer slump. But together with an active Cabinet we shall recruit and activate this region through the whole Summer!


In addition, he proposed that much loved World Assembly delegate Kubrikistan stay on for another term. This is partly because the Delegate has become stuck to the seat, after wearing a suit which had been dipped in the Gulf coast oil spill when he sat on it late last term. Equilism is now pressing BP to work on a solution to allow the delegate to at least change his clothes, as they are starting to smell.

These appointments have been met with much approval, as well as rejoicing by the peasants citizens of Equilism.

World Assembly Results

There have been a lot of votes up since our last update, although voter turnout has fallen of late. * indicates that the vote is ongoing. Votes are in no particular order.
The order is For-Against-Abstain

General Assembly:

The General Patent Charter: 4-0-0

Linguistic Rights Decleration* 2-0-0

The Clean Water Resolution* 1-0-0

Repeal "A Promotion of Basic Education: 1-1-0

Emigration and Statelessness: 0-3-0

Oil Tanker Standards Act: 3-1-0

Responsible Offshore Drilling: 7-2-0

Quality in Health Services: 1-2-0

Security Council

Condemn Mukkanism*: 0-3-0

Condemn Greater Nepal: 0-1-3

Liberate Islam: 5-0-0

Commend the Joint Systems Alliance 1-0-2

Domestic Affairs

Talk is that there will be some restructuring of the way the E Points system works. We shall see how this unfolds. Newly appointed Minister Dyr Nasad has yet to release an agenda for the term.

In other news, the Equilism Security Council has passed its first resolution: Condemn Real Life (tm). Real Life has not returned our phone calls asking for a response. Hopefully this resolution is the first of many.

Games and Fun

The Elimination games have been proving a huge hit recently. And Sanctus Mucro has created a new dynamic in the guys vs gals thread, with guys needing to sleep with one eye open to make sure the gals don’t steal his services and force a landslide in the other direction in the near future.

Role Playing
Things have been quietening down in here compared to the giddy heights of the middle of last term, but they are still going along. The USS Equilism is currently holding a role call, and the World RP’s are looking at new ways to spark activity

Immigration

Shocked by the decline in regional population levels to a mere 125 nations, the Immigration ministry is hoping to galvanize the good recruiting drones citizens of Equilism to new heights of recruiting. A hastily sneaked peek at the Minister's plans revealed a daring plot to use actual cookies in new and different ways. More boringly, the Minister also plans to reorganize the public and private faces of the Immigration foraaaaa, and somewhere in there have a nice cup of tea.

Foreign Affairs

The Monkye has set out to make some changes here. His Agenda includes:

- To reorganise the subforums, and clear out messy areas.
- To create a system of prioritising relations to be used now and in the future. And then put it to use.
- To reorganise ambassadorial posts, and how posts with no ambassador will be filled.
- To make our embassies abroad easier to find for everyone who wants to go visit them
- To make our updates more regular and more entertaining throughout the entire term.

This means that your ambassadors might be changing, or you might be getting some. This could also mean that a flood of updates comes your way too if you’re lucky. We’ll keep you in the loop as to what’s going on.

E-Army

The E Army has been taking some R and R in TRR, making use of Kandy’s hospitality again after an endo-tarter caused security alarms to sound. Most of the soldiers woke up promptly on hearing this alarm, which went off during the night.
