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 :)

@ Borq: Thank you for clarifying; it makes a lot more sense now and I agree with everything you meant to say :)

@ Gervase: I did TG Opalaland to give them a heads up to be at the ready in case we start getting invaded in the near future.
Also, Uni reached out to me and asked if we would be willing to open embassies with TRR. I don't even know what that is; but I told Uni that I would pass the offer along to you and the rest of the Cabinet for feedback and discussion.

I've been good. :)
I was actually wondering if DSA would be interested in developing formal diplomatic relations with TRR. I'm especially interested in building a diplomatic bond between TRR and "leftdom" as we'll call it.


@ Terlibe: Ratateague has basically reinforced what you have said about Zenny:

viewtopic.php?p=22079120#p22079120

It's worse than I feared. Zenya is not merely misled in her efforts, she knows exactly what she is doing. She's spinning her own propaganda campaign with a bunch of other conspirators to create an echo chamber in TCB. What her ulterior motive is, I don't know, but it can only serve to subvert the will of any actual socialists and communists there. NSHistory suggests she was once Europeian, so that would explain the trend of monarchic family (http://nsdossier.texasregion.net/history.aspx?nation=Zenya&type=Exact&group=nation&start=&end=).

There are also rumors about a Europeian project called the Great Architecture Project. However, I find it much more likely that she has found likely ties with the right-wingers of Libertatem and have chose to help them lead TCB astray. What's even more scary is what we aren't readily seeing: they are topping the population charts for any region tagged "socialist" or "communist", meaning that they will use this monopoly to their advantage and detract from other left regions' growth.

I didn't know who else to come forth with these concerns to. The only thing I can think of is to debunk Zennyism at its core in a philosophical debate (nation=zenya/detail=factbook/id=303231). (e.g.: the first bulletin translates to party vanguardism / democratic centralism, third translates to unicameral legislature, etc). And of course the other obvious thing is for multiple representatives to come forth and debunk her propaganda posts with reasoned accounts. Unfortunately, I'm mentally exhausted and can't figure out how to do either of these.

Solidarily,
Ratateague

To all:
Also, I was notified that the NS World Fair is coming up and we have been invited :)

On an unrelated note, the NS World Fair is coming up again! :D
I had a lot of fun the last time.

If it's Uni's idea, I'm sure it'll get us into trouble. :P

Also, all of that about Zenny is very concerning. And we thought CMK was crazy...

Zenya, eh?
Here's another quote from her wisdom, reg. Vandoosa's condemnation proposal (on the Glorious Nations of Iwaku' RMB, 2 days ago):

Congrats, Vandoosa! page=UN_view_proposal/id=prusia_and_borrusia_1413197115
Horribly written and won't reach quorum, but boy do I hope someday I'll have done enough to warrant one of these like you :D <3

Also, Unibot probably meant The Rejected Realms. Personally, I see no reason why we would want an embassy with them, but I'm sure our MFA can give better advice :)

Speaking of the MFA, I have a bit of a backlog of embassy invitations that I have neglected to bring forward for consideration:

[region]The International GSA[/region]
[region]Red Star Republic[/region]
[region]Mysterium[/region]
[region]NSLeft[/region]

[region]The International GSA[/region] Against; single-nation region
[region]Red Star Republic[/region] Against; only four nations
[region]Mysterium[/region] Against; we have nothing in common and they're sending out requests essentially at random
[region]NSLeft[/region] Undecided. While it would be useful to have a common RMB for the left, particularly in the wake of the loss of CAPS, it hasn't really gotten off the ground yet. I suppose I lean toward approval, but I still wouldn't mind taking a wait-and-see approach at this point to see if it gets any more traction. Other thoughts from the Cabinet?

I'm for NSLeft, in the hope that our joining would bring the aforementioned traction :)

I think we should wait and see how they develop. Who knows, they could be the next target.

I will take a regional poll on it!
