Hello, comrades, and congratulations on your election!

This term holds some excitement with the NS World's Fair, only a few weeks away. Other than that, it's business as usual, more or less. Newcomers, check out your job descriptions in the Charter, returning Cabinet members, welcome back! If there are any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be pretty available this term, so I can respond within 2 days at the most.

Below is the proposed agenda for the term.

President/WA Delegate:

  • Find out what the people want from the Cabinet via polls.
  • Organize preparations for the World's Fair

Secretary General

  • Keep the Members of Congress list up to date
  • Update the top-of-forum bulletin to more accurately reflect any new goings-on in the forum.
  • Create an evaluation of the previous Cabinet
  • Amend electoral provisions regarding abstentions

Minister of Foreign Affairs

  • Ensure that there are active ambassadors to each of our allies
  • Investigate potential allies, both those that request being allies and those that you believe have potential.
  • Announce election results to allies.

Minister of Immigration and Regional Promotion

  • First and foremost, prepare for the World's Fair!
  • Update the DSA Population Statistics, seeing as the most recent entry in in September.

Minister of Justice

  • Continue to audit the DSA and its Members of Congress for Charter compliance. South Jarvis can supply you with a list of non-complying nations.

Minister of Domestic Affairs

  • Host a new contest similar to the best country one
  • Reinstate some sort of DSA news bulletin
  • Propose a Featured Five each week

Minister of Role Play

  • Keep the map up-to-date, including looking into the previously proposed vector format.
  • Try to bring back interest into the role-playing section of the forum and Forum7, both of which have seen little activity.

Finally, we all need to prepare for the World's Fair, as we all play some role in representing the region.

I've enacted a prototype welcome telegram:
Welcome Telegram
 
Welcome to the DSA, %NATION%!

First things first, take a look around! Say hello, introduce yourself, get used to the region. You'll probably want to visit the forum, which contains all of our business that isn't here on NationStates. It can be found here:
http://s1.zetaboards.com/DemocraticSocialist/index/

Our government consists of the Cabinet (the main ruling body) and the Congress, which is all of the nations that agree to the Charter. If you want to be active here, I recommend you opt-in to the Charter, which will explain more:
http://s1.zetaboards.com/DemocraticSocialist/topic/5239370/1/

If you're new to NationStates, our own [nation=short]Ratateague[/nation] has put together a guide here:
http://s1.zetaboards.com/DemocraticSocialist/topic/5052223/1/

I know all of this may seem overwhelming, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Regional Message Board or telegram [nation=short]Guertonia[/nation], Minister of Domestic Affairs, or me, [nation=short]Kotovania[/nation].

Thank you for choosing the DSA as your region. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Gervase, we have these embassy requests:
The Atlas Union - Libertarian and Imperialist; No.
ACST Too small (3 nations)
ULSR Too small (1 nation)
United Soveriegn Socialist Republics Large (225 nations) and socialist, but also has the Invader tag. I think this could get us into trouble. They also seem set to pass a conscription law that would require nations to take part in raiding operations, so they're serious about it. I'm inclined to say no.

USSR dropped their request anyways, so I'll just decline the others.

Anaaxes has said that the Fireside Chat will most definitely be on Sunday the 21st, and he plans for 16:30 GMT. This seems all right, though I'd prefer 17:00 just to be sure I can be available as long as possible, but since we're some of the more active ones in the DSA, I want to see what times work specifically for you.

Sounds good about the Fireside Chat. Do you want to make an RMB post about it?

By the way, I recently founded a new puppet and never received a recruitment TG from the DSA despite there being room in my inbox for days. Our numbers are way down, too. Kiptoke, what's going on?

I founded a new puppet just a few days ago and got a DSA recruitment TG within a day or two, no problem.

New embassy request:
The Communist Region

On the surface, it seems to be kinda oriented, but there isn't much activity. Decent size population, though. Then again, I'm sure there's some tragic backstory that I haven't heard that forever prevents us from having embassies.

Sorry, I've been busy with a lot of school events, lots of concerts.

I honestly have no idea why our numbers continue falling. All I can hope for is that the NS World Fair increases our numbers, but that's it.

I want to update the Recruitment Telegram, but I've had no time recently, and I can't find any replacement. Also, TSJI seems to have disappeared, it looks like I will have to make a new DSA MIRP account on Google.

So, what did those of you who were at the Fireside Chat think of it? I liked it.
