I’m Erynia and Draconia and I’m running for Minister of Domestic Affairs!
Why am I running?
For the past few months, the Ministry of Domestic Affairs has seen a drought of activity other than the establishment of the Union Tribune Newsletter. As MoDA, I hope to change this and bring the ministry back to the vital role it plays in our growing region.
How am I have qualified?
I joined SLU politics back in June 2021 (a year ago) as Minister of Immigration. I served in the ministry until January 2022 when I was elected Chancellor. I was also appointed as Secretary of Communications where I helped create the Union Tribune Newsletter which has been operating monthly since its inception.
What will I do as MoDA?
- Keep the UT Newsletter running and hire new writers
- Bridge the gap between discord and gameside activity by keeping gameside players informed and encouraging them to join the discord
- Listen to Member State input! I highly value the opinions of our Member States and hope to have the ministry be as democratic and transparent as possible
- Give everyone free cookies!! Ok… maybe not, but the probability isn’t 0!
I am proposing Amendment 13 to the World Assembly Membership Requirement Waiver Resolution, which would grant a waiver to Goanya, the SLU resident state nation of a longtime and active member of our community and Discord server; previously known as Doge Land.

I am bringing forth the following resolution, the T-8 Ratification Resolution, to the Open Parliament for a period of short discussion, to be followed in five days from the time of this post by immediate submission to the voters.
Text of the resolution:
May it henceforth be resolved that the Treaty of Biscuitopolis ("T-8") is hereby ratified by the Open Parliament of the Social Liberal Union, effective immediately.
It's that time of year again, folks! With another contest for the Delegacy upon us, I have decided to run for re-election following gracious nominations by both Goncar and Osagh.
Before typing too much about what I would endeavor to do with a second term as Delegate, I want to briefly go over what I consider my chief achievements of this last term in office:
Successfully heralding the return of much more regular updates on the status of the region to its members and residents. These updates have included important information on regional news, interregional affairs, and world assembly affairs without whitewashing administration progress. I've sought to keep the region equally abreast of both discussions on proposed legislation and on delays in the processing of new Cabinet members following vacancies.
Passing two pieces of legislation to enable greater community engagement with World Assembly resolutions, creating positions within the government for those most interested in the World Assembly to participate in and creating further responsibility for future Delegates that will hold them more accountable to their votes in that body beyond those guidelines already provided for in the Constitution.
Working with the Ministry of Domestic Affairs to ensure regular content for the Tribune when possible, including taking up writing articles myself when necessary.
Pursuing a vigorous series of engagements with a number of other regions, both inside and outside of our traditional 'sphere' within NSLeft; engagements that, with the aid of Foreign Affairs, has bettered our relations with a number of regions both old and new.
With all of that said, my chief concern in a second term would be much the same as my chief concern during my first: providing adequate service to the fantastic community of this region by keeping it actively informed, working with others to create and maintain the tools we want or need to pursue the projects that interest us most (whether those be on site interregional relations or our forum roleplay), and setting an exemplary example for others by pursuing an engaged, active, and friendly series of policies that are as adaptive as they are welcoming to newcomers. For me, those policies will look like a continuation of my work so far, with open ears to hear all the ambitions, concerns, and ideas everyone in this region can bring to the table when they wish to contribute. That's my case for staying on as your World Assembly Delegate, but no matter who you choose to support in this election: please vote!
Feel free to ask me any questions or voice any concerns you might!
