Hi Spiritus!

This is just a short summary of recent happenings in the South Pacific. Courtesy of the Southern Journal and the Ministry of Regional Affairs.

Interview with Max Barry

Because the Southern Journal is always looking at providing quality content for South Pacifican readers, we now bring to you an interview with Max Barry! Max is the creator of NationStates and the author of many great books, such as Company, Lexicon and Jennifer Government, the book that inspired this very game. We approached him a few weeks ago, and he was kind enough to answer some questions for us.

1. 2014 has seen lots of exciting changes to NationStates, including the unveiling of the Rift theme. Should we expect any more changes in 2015?
from Kris Montresor


Yes! There are always more changes. Every time I look at the site, I see something I want to change. If every day lasted a week, I could spend all of it on NationStates and still not run out of things to do.

Of course, your next question is, "What's going to change?" And that I can't tell you. That would require a far more organized development process than we run here at NationStates. But it will be something.

2. Is it true that NS is a grand social experiment and we are all being observed and studied?
from The Agnostic Collective


Yes. This is completely true. It has been necessary to add some game-like elements to the site in order to keep subjects participating in the experiment. But the observations are going very well.

3. Are you covering up [violet]'s plans of world domination?
from The Agnostic Collective


I'm not covering up anything. I'm just ignorant. I don't know what [violet] is doing half the time. Have you ever tried to click on her avatar to go to her nation? There's nothing there. It's spooky.

Great Council

A Great Council is underway, after Delegate Tsunamy convened one earlier this month. Great Councils are constitutional conventions, in which the region discusses improvements and reforms to the entire Charter and the Code of Laws. So far discussions have focused on the proposal to establish a bicameral legislature, with one house being composed of non citizen residents on the Regional Message Board.

Yesterday the floor was opened to citizen proposals, which so far have included an altered bicameralism proposal, by newcomer Hopolis, and a proposal by Sandaoguo to disband the regional military, citing its chronic inactivity and failures at recruitment and retention. Voting on all proposals is supposed to start next week.

Salaxalans Trial Stuck

Following weeks of inactivity from the Chief Justice, both the defense and the prosecution have demanded that a new Chief Justice be elected, to start the trial against Salaxalans. He has been accused of multiple counts of assault and threats.

Chief Justice Gustave Berr mentioned that Salaxalans is facing: Five counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Two counts of Assault with Intention to cause Bodily Harm, Two counts of Assault on the Delegate, and One count of Assault on a Former Delegate.

With Farengeto projected to be elected as Acting Chief Justice, the trial should be moving forward. Salaxalans has been under arrest since early December, due to his repeated attempts at harming the prosecution.

In Defence of Salaxanism
by Kris Montresor

While debate in the 2015 Great Council has so far focused on unrealistic and radical proposals, like the establishment of a bicameral legislature or the reform of the military, there is one proposal that has so far been overlooked, despite the fact that it would bring unparalleled peace and prosperity to the South Pacific. I am referring to my recent proposal on the adoption of Salaxanism as the official regional religion. Before discarding this as yet another crazy and unrealistic proposal, let's examine the contents and many benefits that Salaxanism would have for the South Pacific...read more and up vote here
