Brys Questions For Delegate


Elections    1 Replies

BrysQuestions, 05-26-2021, 07:19 PM

Hello friends,
I am Brys Questions, a 3 year member of the Social Liberal Union, I have served under the positions of and currently,
-Former Speaker Pro Tempore Under Jyskmark
-20th Minister of Foreign Affairs
- Former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs
-27th Minister of Immigration
- Current Ambassador to The East Pacific and The North Pacific
I have seen this region grow and prosper in these 3 years of me being here with one of the greatest communities that we the people have built, even through tragedies that occurred in December of 2020, we still managed to pull through and rebuild greater than before, even with a more active rmb. To continue the great process Delegate Helvurium and Courelli has helped contribute, I hope as delegate I can contribute to making the region great as it is, because we do in all honesty, have the best community on ns. If elected aswell, I will proudly serve as delegate of THE SOCIAL LIBERL UNION!!!

Now, we have had a very major decrease of nations in the region the past few months due to lots of ctes, although about 48% of the region has there wa here, which is good. As I am currently Minister of Immigration, I could help increase this, which I've been doing with buying stamps and sending them out, although if I'm elected i hope to increase the population back up to 200 with who is the next Minister of Immigration.

Now I must say as well, us being a small region of around 155 (at time of writing) is not a bad thing either, what good with us being a low number is that we have a good amount of activity, some on the RMB and our discord as well, and our discord is mostly almost always active with different types of conversations and recent new discussion or almost any topic. If our region does stay below 200, and we have lots of activity still on the RMB and discord, that is still great, I plan on texting on the RMB more, and If your reading this, I suggest you do too Smile. We also have a Minecraft server now, which we have a channel for it on the discord and that has helped gain some momentum with Nsleft member, and hopefully we can have more people join it that is provided by Helvurium and Koiho.
We also have some neat events coming up in the DA department, with NAR and Toonela working on some very neat things that will happen in the near future that id like to help promote, some other members of our region will also host some events hopefully in the near future. (If you haven't joined the discord yet, don't be shy, here is the link https://discord.gg/UA9DncdS)
I wish as a delegate, to have an increase in domestic activity and work more with the DA department to do some fun things that people could have access to do.

My stance on Foreign Affairs: MOFA Goncar has done a great job here and I'm not sure how id help expect help find ambassadors if needed and not ruin relationships with other regions Smile

I thank you for reading what i have to say, I will take ANY type of question you have below, or you can contact me via telegram, or my discord is "ava!#0022", you may also ping me in the region chat of The Social Liberal Union "#region" chat
I am exited to run as delegate for this great region I call home and the greatest community on Nation States, hope yall have an excellent day, and I wish luck to my opponent/s, which so far is Ramelia, goodluck.

At the direction of the Speaker of the Union, I am putting to vote the following proposed amendment to the NSLeft Solidarity Pact:

Article 3, Section 3.1.4 will have the following clause added:

"3.1.4.1. The Central Committee reserves the right to appoint editors to oversee the publication of The Red + Black, and the right to remove editors.

The entirety of Article 3, Section 4. will be removed from the Solidarity Pact.


You may read the entirety of the Solidarity Pact as it currently reads here.

Voting shall last for 7 days. Any amendment to the Solidarity Pact is not effective until at least a 2/3rds majority of member regions approve it. Any region which does not vote within 12 days shall be deemed to have abstained.

Reports to the Open Parliament from the
Trustees of the Founder Nation and the Administrators of the Backup Region

This thread is provided for the convenience of the Open Parliament and the officers who are required to make regular reports to it.
However, this thread is not necessarily the exclusive place for posting such reports.

CURRENT TRUSTEES OF THE FOUNDER NATION:
Kanoria
Courelli
Anaaxes

CURRENT ADMINISTRATORS OF THE BACKUP REGION:
Ramelia
Koiho

Following the Coup of December 2020 and the resulting changes to the constitutional status of the Founder in the Social Liberal Union, the Founder Nation (Government of the Social Liberal Union) was reduced to an administrative role that was to be collectively administered by three "Trustees" appointed by the Open Parliament. The backup region's founder account (SLU Government) was similarly placed under the care of two "Administrators." On 2 February 2021, the Open Parliament enacted Amendment 1 to the Uniform Vacancies and Incapacities Determination Act, which requires that:

Quote:Trustees of the Founder Nation and administrators of the backup region founder nation shall provide reports to the floor of the Open Parliament affirming that they have access to the founder account they are respectively responsible for the maintenance of, under penalty of perjury. Such reports shall be filed at least ( a ) once within January; ( b ) once within April; ( c ) once within July; ( d ) once within October; ( e ) within two days of the declaration of a State of Emergency pursuant to the Constitution; and ( f ) within two days of a request by the lawful Delegate. Any relevant State which fails to provide said report shall be considered incapacitated. Such incapacity shall be considered terminated upon a new filing pursuant to this Section.

After an officer required to make a report under the Act has verified they have access to the account which they are responsible for, the following template can be used to make a report to the Open Parliament that complies with the Act and other laws concerning certifications under penalty of perjury:

Code:
In accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Vacancies and Incapacities Determination Act, I hereby report to the Open Parliament that on this day, (date), I have access to the founder account of the (region/backup region).

I, (name), certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the Social Liberal Union that the foregoing is true and correct.

I was inspired by TLA's presentation of its census records and would like to draft a bill instituting a voluntary, biannual census in the SLU. I am reaching out to see if anyone would like to collaborate on this bill with me!

So far I have these notes:

- Voluntary census every 6 months (Feb and Aug?)
- Managed by Ministry of Domestic Affairs
- Demographics
----- Age
----- Gender
----- Country of Residence
----- Primary Language
----- Secondary Language
----- Education Level
----- Regional Residence
----- Field of study/work
