Greetings to you, my fellow Comrades of the twelfth Cabinet of the DSA! :)

I congratulate you all for being elected/reelected to your Cabinet positions and I eagerly look forward to working with all of you this term.

I would like everyone to review your job descriptions in the Charter. I encourage all first-timers to freely ask any and all questions about your ministerial duties, either here or by telegram with those who have held your position in the past. If you think you will have difficulty fulfilling your duties, I encourage you to appoint an adviser and/or request help from volunteers in the Government Jobs subforum.

Below is my agenda for this term. I invite each of you to provide any feedback and to also provide any additional ideas or initiatives that you would like for your Ministries to pursue over the next 75 days.

I will be busy in RL this term and will not be around as much as I'd like to be. However, I aim to be available to answer questions and check in with your Ministries at least once a week (usually weekends).

Without further ado, my agenda:

Office of the President and WA Delegate:
1. Regional Polls: I would like us to have a much better picture of how residents see the region and their place in it so that we can target initiatives that will increase activity and boost morale.

2. Featured 5: I will renew the weekly roster. This boosts morale and increases dialogue and intrigue between Comrades; so I will make sure to do this regularly.

Office of the Secretary General:
1. Audit the congressional roster in the Forum; make updates to roles/statuses as necessary.
2. Organize an evaluation of the 11th Cabinet.
3. If you wish, appoint an adviser to help point you in the right direction.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
1. Draft and deliver formal apology to the residents of the old Alliance for the trespasses of New Puppy City.
2. Offer your recommendations for accepting/rejecting current embassy requests from abroad.
3. Distribute puppets to allied regions and announce your new position with a warm greeting from your ministry and the DSA.
4. Review current alliances and their regional statuses; compile brief intelligence report for the Cabinet.
5. Give recommendations for closure of embassies (if any) and/or new alliances to form (if any).

Ministry of Immigration and Regional Promotion:
1. Keep up the good work! Despite heavy losses due to mass-CTE, our region still hovers around 285 - a significant improvement from the recent past.
2. Keep the Cabinet updated about any interregional or world-wide conferences, or anything else that you think would be a good venue in which to promote our region.

Ministry of Justice:
1. Remedy any loose ends left from the previous Minister between their untimely absence and now.
2. Audit region for Charter compliance and begin proceedings for violators, if any. Report findings directly to the Secretary General so that they may update the Congressional Roster accordingly.

Ministry of Domestic Affairs:
1. Host a new discussion/debate in the Forum and advertise it in both Solidarity and with posts on the RMB.
2. Hold a contest for anything you'd like. In the past we have done things like best factbook entry, best flag, best motto, etc.
3. In the RMB, personally welcome newcomers with a quick post.
4. Compile a new daily or weekly bulletin (like the DDD or Proletariat Press) to summarize things that are going on in the Forum, the NS World, and RL as well.

Ministry of Role Play:
1. Map updates if any.
2. Solidify or create new notes for the regional LCD currency.
3. Introduce a resolution for the DSA Parliament.
4. Host a new RP activity in the Forum.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. I encourage you to put forth your new ideas and discussion. I wish you all a successful and enjoyable term :)

Also; these are those who are in a prohibited category:
Contrapiz- Corrupt Dictatorship
Northeast Marxia- Corrupt Dictatorship
The FFF- Father Knows Best State *Puppet of Fridathebulldog*
San Isicio- Father Knows Best State
Kishorgovt- Father Knows Best State
Socialist Crimea- Moralistic Democracy
Old Christopia- Right-Wing Utopia

These account for some, but not all, of the non-charter nations below average on their Civil Rights and Political Freedoms.

Thank you for those two charter nations. I will telegram them later today.

Wow! That's an awesome program, South Jarvis!

I am amazed at some of the sophisticated programs created right here in the DSA :)

@ Terlibe: I say do it! That sounds really cool and I think will be a good way to increase activity in the region - good idea!

Kotovania in CAPS, you say? I forgot that I brought that here, and I'd basically abandoned it. Well, that's one less telegram to send out. I guess I should send them individually for privacy's sake.

Apology delivered to DSAlliance.

As for Currahee, I'd recommend against. Only five nations and apparently ideologically incompatible.

Huh. My telegrams drove a nation out of the region. Sorry, TSJI.

I'm getting a wide variety of response telegrams. They range from "Thank you for informing me. I'll do the best to resolve the problem." to
"Dear Kotovania
Screw You."

Guess who probably won't be remaining in the nation after their probation period. Note: That's not a threat, that's an inference.


EDIT: Actually, they've already left us. That's number 2. I hope this doesn't continue as a trend.
