Full name of nation: Holy Empire of Achkaerin
Short name: Achkaerin
Region: Northern
Name of Proposed Security Council Delegate: Steven Ayanami
Short Description (<150 words) as to why they should be elected: Achkaerin has a history of attempting diplomacy before taking matters to military levels, matters within the CIS on numerous occasions have shown that the country is capable of working closely with others, the various treaties and alliances it is signatory to e.g CIS, friendship with Rokkenjima, MCUR, JET show how proactive and versatile Achkaerin is prepared to be. The Achkaerinese military boasts quality over quantity and has proved several times to be capable in a great variety of situations, so the nation has a proven track record on the diplomatic front and the capability to take whatever action necessary should that fail, both critical points for the Security Council.
Any other important positions held by nation or citizen(s) of nation: Rosie Brooks has been nominated for the Internation Court of Justice

From reading the charter I couldn't find any mention of the method we had to use. Figured having some idea of who you were voting for rather than just a nation would help newer members who are not so familiar with the nations. Perhaps one of the first things we should do once we have the Security Council is establish some formal procedures for the next round.

OOC- question with the inclusion of Vendosia the northern constituency now has five nations in (one less than the other two) should we now be saying that we're electing two from each?

Full name of nation: Republic of Verover
Short name: Verover
Region: Ardia
Short Description (<150 words) as to why this country should be elected: Verover should be elected because of two reasons. The first being that we are a growing democratic power in Ardia with a history of helping smaller nations grow and prosper, the reasons why we co-created the CIS and created the original charter. The second reason why is because we are on the way to becoming the most powerful true democracy in Mundus and feel that we would represent the democracies of Ardia with honor and integrity.

Full name of nation: Seaforth Confederation of Clans
Short name: Seaforth
Region: Northern
Short Description (<150 words) as to why this country should be elected:
Seaforth believes in regional self determination as the nation that call a place home should decide on what happens there. In addition to that Seaforth participates globally in such organizations as CETO, MCUR, Uppsala Convention, FSC and the MDB. While we have seen several applications using words like "most powerful" and "powerhouse" and extolling the virtues of their military. Seaforth's view of the Security Council is not one of possessing the power to enforce a surly cease-fire, but the strength to actively work to stabilize vulnerable areas and to proactively neutralize destabilizing forces, both with diverse tactics that include measures other than armed intervention.

Any other important positions held by nation or citizen(s) of nation: None

Name of Proposed Security Council Delegate: Grand Admiral James McKenna

Any relevant details:
Citadel Graduate, excellent grasp of military affairs/capabilities and the global situation, very stabilizing influence.


OOC:
Also, with East Moreland being SecGen and Achkaerin being CSU, it depends on how much power you want to put in one box (Or just give away to the CSU/CSTO) :P

OOC: I think it would be prudent to make clear how elections will work on the regional level. As in, Ardian states vote for the Ardian seat, Albion states for the Albion seat, and so on. I'm fairly sure that's how things are set up, but for clarity I thought it would be good to establish here.

OOC: since the region have fairly even numbers and the treaty says 3-6 members of the security council, i do think we should gi ahead with 2 seats in each region. Otherwise, when the northern region gets just a single member more we will be doing yhis all again. Just make it two each and be done with it. Also, i agree, clarification of elections is warranted.

I don't think this is the most appropriate electoral system to use. It introduces a preference model that's a bit awkward and not really clear.

Either:
- Plurality first: People get two 'X' votes, if it's a tie then a run-off
Or:
- STV: What's used for Senate elections. People rank the candidates and this avoids the need for a run-off.
