Cabinet Meeting 8.2; opened 7 December, closed 25 January

Given recent events and fresh ideas from our fellow region members, I believe a new place to discuss them would be appropriate. I will hope that a Cabinet meeting for every 25 days will remain feasible, though its return is just an experiment for right now. I shall still ask each of you to regularly update the Cabinet on the status of your ministries and share any concerns. I have again proposed an agenda to carry over from the previous meeting and provided each ministry with a small list of items to address, though again you need not discuss all of these at once as long as you get to each of them eventually.

Therefore, I declare open the second meeting of the Eighth Cabinet.

---Agenda---

1. Region Tags
This had come up during my term as MoC, but little was ever done on this. I would like to get the Cabinet's and possibly Congress's opinion on this and edit them appropriately.


2. Leftist Alliance (Continuation of IRALL)
The discussion resumed and stagnated on the NS forum. This would essentially be an alliance of leftist regions in the same vein as IRALL.

3. International and Embassy Expansion
I would still like to see us expand our links further, see a couple more embassies established and encourage more nations, especially active ones, to serve as ambassadors.

4. Forum Activity
Of particular concern to me is the lack of activity amongst the Congress outside of elections and a relatively slow forum in general. I would like to get some resolutions and laws passed through Congress to start the ball rolling, have the MoRP encourage more role plays in the Gymnasia and see the MDA do the same in the Great Debate Hall.

5. NS World Fair
The People's Socialism is currently in discussions with the South Pacific on the DSA's role in the World Fair. Our region may want to start getting its presentation ready.

6. DSA-TI Relations
Given the continuing military zone in force in the Internationale and the continuing evacuation of non-WA nations, I would like the Cabinet to determine a future for the as of yet unofficial and limited DSA involvement in the situation.


7. Proposals from region-mates
Commendation of Haltari for service as P/WAD and MIRP
Fifth Cabinet entry in Capitol Factbook (proposed by Grobladonia, in progress)
Ministry of World Assembly Affairs (proposed by United Federation of Canada)

---Items for individual ministries---

Secretary General (SG):
1. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.).
2. Organise an evaluation of the Eighth Cabinet before the end of the term.
3. Appoint an advisor, if desired.

Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA):
1. Make embassy recommendations to P/WAD.
2. Try to find new regions to potentially establish embassies with.
3. Monitor ambassadors for potential inactivity.

Minister of Justice (MoJ):
1. Audit region for Civil Rights (CR), Political Freedoms (PF), and National Categories (NC) compliance.
2. Make recommendations to P/WAD for nations to eject, if any.

Minister of Immigration/Regional Promotion (MIRP):
1. Keep tabs on the auto-telegram system and make sure its working properly.
2. Continue negotiations and discussions on the NS World Fair.


incoming Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Come up with new debate ideas.
2. Try to come up with a new contest or game.
3. Update the DSA Capitol factbook.
4. Appoint an advisor, if desired.
5. Contact Suceavija or Arahu to familiarise yourself with the position.

Minister of Role Play (MoRP):
1. Verify all nations on map are:
--Existing
--Reside in the region (domestic puppets okay, too)
2. Keep the map current and updated.
3. Encourage new roleplays in the Gymnasia.
4. Appoint a chair for the DSA currency discussion.

In response to Dafuq did I just read?: I sympathize with this nation; but I remember going through the process of appealing to NS game mods for leniency on The Northeast and Ritchardville a couple years ago due to a shared IP address at a small public school library. It's an exercise in frustration and futility. I wish them good luck; but my telephone hotline psychic tells me that fighting the mod ruling will be a waste of time...

As NS grows, I think Barry and his cohorts would be wise in improving the WA registry and auditing process to accommodate for multiple users coming from the same school or library. They should actually be encouraging players recruiting within their peer groups to spread the influence of the game. It seems an awful shame to punish players just because they come from the same small school district with limited resources. That's only going to become more of an issue as public education continues to be decimated by neoliberal politicians and policy... My two cents; whatever.

@ TSJI: Thank you for your support of the idea. I fully agree that the government's only involvement in the RP aspect of the trade and central bank stuff would be that of the MinRP who would only be overseeing the subforum to make sure people were being civil and obeying regional codes of conduct. Otherwise, they would be entirely their own entities within the region for the reasons you mentioned.

Thank you, also, Terlibe, Gervase and Corujean for your support. Knowing that there is renewed enthusiasm for this, I will take the necessary time required to get it set up and ready for public digest. I'll follow your lead, Corujean, and confer with you closely on the matter to be in line with your creation of the central bank idea.

I was wondering if I could get the referendum for the commendation for Haltari on this upcoming election? It's been available for scrutiny and input for a few weeks; so I think it's been long enough for everyone to contribute what they wanted to say about it.

sure, I think it's time already.





Another (slightly-off)topic:

I've started to edit an "abridged" or "commented" version of the charter, without most of the legalese jargon, to help people familiarize with all our rules&laws. If anyone is interested in helping, the google doc is editable to anyone with the link http://goo.gl/gXTw32

Well, I'm back from my travels and can safely say that if you have the opportunity to go to Central America and you speak basic Spanish, jump on it. Nicaragua is a terribly fun place to be. Any other big things we should wrap up before this election is over?

I want to quickly finish rounding out the edges on Haltari's commendation so that we can put it up for vote. Everything else, I believe, can be rolled over to the next term if needed.

This shit with Cuba needs to stop. Let's figure out a plan.

I have actually stopped running the autoTG since yesterday because the psychotic rantings on the RMB are only going to act as a deterrent to new nations coming here. I can't help but notice that a couple long-time residents have already moved out since Cuba started using the DSA as his personal battlefield again.

The mods have apparently washed their hands of this.

I want to get the nation that Cuba has mentioned banjected from the region. Hopefully, if we do that, we can wash our hands of responsibility for this. Other than that, I'm thinking about temporary banjections for anyone causing any further problems, like Port blood.

Well, you may have had an opportunity pop up just now: Riasy telegrammed me with this message today:

I don’t have much time right now, but if no one else has done that yet I want to formally ask for legal action against the nation Animula Vagula Blandula.

I believe that Cuba and Discoveria have provided enough evidences to conclude that nation Animula Vagula Blandula was named in such way with sole intent to flaimbait the player known as Cuba, therefore I accuse Animula Vagula Blandula in trolling.

Since the mods are useless as always, it seems it's time to do justice ourselves. I'm going to start up a new case thread in the Court subforum and we'll get this show on the road.
