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.

News
Well, after a rather quiet term, Equilism is getting back on track! Elections for this term have just ended. There were more candidates than usual in this election. Phendarrah, Vesica, The Monkye, Grand Kierania, and Abstain all ran for First Minister. In the end, The Monkey won on his Steampunk and Tron platform, which soon came to be known as steamtron.
The Monkye's campaign called for more activity and a convention (originally a part of Grand Kierania's campaign). He also said that the judiciary would be reviewed in light of the founder's concerns.
The new cabinet for the term has been appointed as well. The Monkye appointed two of his opponents to cabinet positions: Vesica as Immigration Minister, and Phendarrah as Domestic Affairs Minister. He also appointed last term's first minister, Millitarism, to lead foreign affairs. You obviously know what this means: This means you get updates again! To round off the cabinet, Whamabama has remained in the position of Military Minister.
One interesting thing about the elections for first minister this term is that, unlike any other election in the history of Equilism, Abstain launched a campaign. He cited his long time in the region and NS in general as a reason he was qualified. As could be expected, he ran on a campaign of neutrality and indecision. This campaign, however, was not without controversy: Founder Westwind declared that, as Abstain was not actually a member of the Assembly, he could not run. It was actually Abstain's opponents that fought to allow Abstain's campaign. After an appeal to the founder, Westwind agreed to let Abstain run if he took the oath of the Assembly, thus making him a member. Despite all he went through, he didn't gain more votes than any other candidate.
In other news, the infamous John Ashcroft Land has resigned his citizenship to pursue other goals in NS. We wish him the best of luck, despite his statement that he will do things that the region would probably not approve of.

The Equilism General Meeting
One of the big things to come out of the elections this year was a meeting akin to the "Better Equilism Convention" held in 2010. This was an effort to improve conditions in the region and to find ways to increase activity. Many things have been discussed in the convention so far. The judiciary was one of the major topics. The judiciary was expanded last year, as some may remember, due to some people's concerns about the position of regional advocate. Westwind, who was unhappy with the decision of the Assembly, had retained his right as founder to strike down the amendment, though he did not act on it as he wished to respect the Assembly's wishes. However, over the time the new system has been in place, they have had nothing to do. Some members of Equilism grew concerned that a title without duties would lead to inactivity. The judiciary has since been abolished, and the region is working toward a replacement.
Another, more classified matter (at the moment, at least) is the status of the army. The E-Army has been around ever since the founding of Equilism. Equilism has been a proud defender region for that time as well. The E-Army has had some struggles adjusting to the influence system, though, as the classic defender philosophy of opposing griefing had been rendered nearly obsolete by influence. One of the goals of the convention has been to reinvigorate the army.
And finally, the last major topic of the Equilism General Meeting was a regional purpose. When Equilism was founded, Equilism had a clear purpose: We have been a region opposed to the practice of griefing. The influence system made Equilism's purpose obsolete as well; with influence, there just isn't enough griefing for it to motivate a region. There have been several points in which Westwind stated it was no longer the region's purpose, but it was never replaced. Because of that, the region's original purpose kept coming back. During the Equilism General Meeting, the region has been working toward creating a new purpose focusing on activity and sovereignty.

Foreign Affairs
Regarding the recent news from Gatesville, we wish Gates the god the best of luck. While we do respect the authority of the founder of a region and the founder's right to abolish said region, we support our allies. Our alliance was with the community of Gatesville, not just the founder. We therefore with to extend a hand to the estranged community of Gatesville, and we hope the ties of friendship we have made with them can hold fast.

Domestic Affairs
The Ministry of Domestic Affairs has already gotten started on activities for the coming term! Here is a summary from the minister himself of some of the things he is working on:
