Directorate Nominations

From the moment I was nominated to serve as a Senator of the Leviathan Republic, I gave the task I face today much thought. The nomination process is, in my estimation, the single most important role of the Senate in the region. The fate of the Republic will depend largely on the performance of and precedent set by the first Directorate.

I intend to use the full nomination period I have been granted by the Accords to carefully consider my nomination choices. The nominations I present today are not complete. However, there are a few representatives in the region who stand out so clearly in my mind that I cannot help but extend them my nomination here and now.

For the position of Director of the Interior, I would like to nominate the Councilman from Maloran. The DoI is tasked with overseeing recruitment and regional culture, and as the primary driving force behind our astonishing recruitment effort and the author of our soon-to-be-official regional motto, there simply is no better choice than the accomplished Councilman.

Because the DoI is the successor to the Presidency in emergency situations, I feel that his extensive experience as a politician in the world at large must also come to bear on his nomination. He would be a fine steward of the region if ever it were to face a crisis of leadership. For this same reason, I would like to also nominate him for the position of President.

For the position of Director of Justice, I would like to nominate the Councilman from Myedvedeya. The first DoJ will be instrumental in resolving some of the most fundamental issues that will arise from our Accords as ratified; this nomination carries a special significance in this electoral cycle, to be sure. It is absolutely vital that our first Director of Justice possess a supple intellect, cool rationality, and an affinity with words to guide us through our first administration. With these criteria in mind, the Councilman is a natural choice.

For the position of Director of Defense, I can think only of the honored Senator from Sith Republic. I have stated previously that his contributions to the region, though vast, have gone more or less unsung because they have occured behind closed doors. He is a man of few words, a leader whose greatest triumphs occur away from the public eye, and who is content to serve without widespread public acclaim. What better traits could a DoD possibly possess? The DoD, as both General and Spymaster, must be trusted to carry out herioc missions largely in secret, though the fate of the Republic may rest on their success. We can trust that our state secrets will be more than safe with the honored Senator and Security Councilman.

For the position of Director of Foreign Affairs, I would like to nominate the honored Senator from Drazill. The DoFA will be the public face of the Republic, and must be not only intelligent and well-spoken, but also likeable, even tempered, and respectable. The honored Senator, if allowed to serve as DoFA, would not only impress foreign dignitaries with his thoughtfulness, but would charm them with his good nature and eye for aesthetics.

I urge my fellow Senators to give fair consideration to any representative who I have not named here. Indeed, it is in our best interest to give as many qualified candidates as possible a chance to run for office, if in fact there are many representatives who would serve admirably.

I would second the nominations of the representatives from Drazil and Myedvedeya. I second Maloran's representative's nomination for the Director of Interior spot.

After much thought, I would like to nominate the representative of Stanimir for the President position. He had the head to get this Region off the ground, who else could set the best possible precedent for the President?

And though he has not expressed interest, I would also like to nominate the Fire Hills for the Director of Justice Position.

I will accept the nomination for DoFA.

I would like to nominate Myedvedeya for the Position of DoJ, as I believe his knowledge of law and, more importantly, his interest of the law could serve this region well.

I would also like to nominate Maloran for DoI, as his skills and experience would be needed to help this region begin to develop its culture, aswell as take over the leadership of the region should the President be absent from duties.

And Finally, I would like to nominate Stanimir for the Presidency, as being the founder of this region and helping with the recruiting efforts he would be an invaluable asset to the region, as his experience and knowledge of the politics of NS have hardend him as a natural leader.

It is my deepest honor to accept the nomination for the Presidency.

I will second the nomination of the Councilman from The Fire Hills for the position of Director of Justice, as a secondary nomination for the position. He has conveyed to me his love of words in offering his services as a writer for The Statesman, and I have said before that an affinity for language is crucial to a successful DoJ.

I am extremely pleased that Councilman from Maloran will be able to run for the position of Director of the Interior if he so chooses to accept his nomination. In the interests of democracy, I would like to also nominate the Councilman from Ciryatania, who I feel would be a major asset to our development of regional culture; already, he has consistently used his artistic skills to better develop the region's unique character and identity.

I hope that someone will second my nomination of the honored Senator from Sith Republic. In any case, I would like to extend a second nomination for the position of Director of Defense to the Councilman from Konosis, who was a key player in the development of the Grand Leviathan Army in the earliest days of the First Regional Conference.

Lastly, if he is willing, I would like to nominate the Councilman from Indie Lovers for the position of Director of Foreign Affairs. He, so far, has shown himself to be well-spoken and amicable, which can only be assets in a DoFA.

I shall second the nominations for Indie Lovers, Konosis, Ciryatania, and The Fire Hills, aswell as the Sith Republic.

I believe that including many of these first timers could, in the long run, prove beneficial to the region and NS as a whole. This new generation of players will one day succeed us, and hopefully, become better than us. I believe it to be a good start for them to start getting them more involved in the region and giving them chances to improve upon their abilities.

I'm honored in being nominated by the representative from Senator Vasiliev and the endorsement from Senator Randgriz. Unfortunately I feel myself on the obligation of declining such nomination, I don't believe I'm capacitaded for such task yet. I've being on the foreing scenario (ooc: playing NS) for just some weeks and I still have a lot to learn.

Therefore believing that this first governmental representatives shall be the initial boost for this region to achieve it mightiest. Ciryatania endorses the following nominations supported by the arguments already stated by the fellow representatives, and the true belief that a good start is half way walked for a glorious legacy:

Presidency: Stanimir
Director of Interior: Maloran
Director of Justice: Myedvedeya
Director of Defense: Sith Republic
Director of Foreign Affairs: Drazill

I'd like to thank the Senate for their nomination of me for Director of the Interior, and happily accept. However, I noticed that Stanimir also nominated me for President, although no one has yet seconded that. As directed by the December Accords, but accepting the nomination for the DoI, I ask that the Senate not nominate me for any other posts.

I would also like to speak a few words to Vierovich of Ciryatania. While I understand you're hesitation to take such and important role in our government, I would like to encourage you to do so. This role will require not so much experience as a hard work and innovation, two quantities which you certainly display in abundance.

I'm honored with the trust you give me, yet I'll be more confortable after gathering more experience from the work within the Common Council. Nonetheless if you all really think I may be usefull for the Directorate of Interior, I diponibilise myself to work with and under the Director, so as for to adquire the knowledge and experience necessary to furthermore occupy a place of higher responsability within the government.

I'd also like to clarify what seems to be a point of confusion: only the Senate may nominate members to run for executive positions, in an official sense. So while you are certainly welcome to show your support for as many candidates as you would like, know that a Councilman's nomination is non-binding and will not allow someone to appear on the ballot unless two Senators have supported his or her candidacy as well.

On a much happier note, I'd like to second everything the Councilman from Maloran has said. You may not be very experienced at the moment, but you can learn. My first official position in NS was, interestingly enough, Minister of the Interior for a very large (300+ member nations) region that was suffering a slump in internal activity. Their chief recruitor was gone, half of their recognized Senate was inactive or had left the region, and so on. I was dropped in the position because no one else would take it. But with the help of one old hand at the game, and some innovation and guesswork of my own, I was able to help the region recover. If I'm capable of cleaning up a mess like that with no experience, you're more than capable of maintaining our momentum.

I'm very pleased by the look of the election so far. I will probably begin my own campaigning in a moment or two, but if any other candidates would like to say a few words, I encourage them to do so (outside of the nomination thread, naturally).
