Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Welcome to A World Power!

Our forum acts as the hub of our community, and is where our Government, Citizens Assembly, and Regional Defence Force are coordinated. But it's not all serious business! The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

Hello! The AWP Inquirer is back on its feet after Torchevon's real life hustle and bustle finally caught up with our Editor. Since the last issue we have concluded our delegate elections with Lord Tothe being elected as the successor to Biain the First with 10 votes to Biains 5 and Ranholns 5!

Neas spoke on the issue and managed to commit a hideous spelling mistake with only his second word...

Neasmyrna
our founder and dictator
First of, I would like to thank Biain The First for 125 days in office (probably more by the time the switch is done ). When he was elected in January we had around 220 nations and 60 or 70 WA delegate endorsements. He leaves office with the fullest respect of the region having seen the regional population rise as high as 280 and seeing his endorsements reach 100 just the other day placing him as the 4th most influential delegate of a user created region and 10th most influential in all of the World Assembly. Thank you.

Now, on to the future. Lord Tothe is one of the newer members of the region having only joined this past January. but already he has been one of our most active members having more than 2,500 posts and being one of our most consistent RDF members. We wish the little dictator (who actually has a soft spot for kittens) well and we hope to see 00000 A World Power even more powerful under his directions. Good luck!


With Senate elections approaching, long time Southern Senator, Ranholn tendered his resignation from all responsibilities and said he would not stand for re-election. He cited stress in real life and has taken a leave of absence.

Ranholn
 
I am Retiring from all Position I currently hold, I will act as Senator but as elections should start shortly I will not be running for Re-Election, I will not go for a third Term as Senator. I am Stepping down from Mod of Role play, Member of the Commerce Committee, Global Moderator and any other positions I hold In this Region. I Will be Scarce for a bit but I will still be around. I hope you all Remember me for what I once was not what ever I have become.

AWP is currently preparing for Senate elections with Numero Capitan holding preliminary opinion polls. We are also looking to overcome our issues in the Department of Foreign Affairs and are looking for Ambassadors to send to friendly regions, talk to Greekamerican today if you're interested!

The RDF has been taking a bit of a break recently, mostly due to lack of invader activity, its nice to have our boys home for a while!

This week saw the Prevention of Terrorism proposal put to the floor of the World Assembly. Assemblymen from AWP debated the issue with some speaking out in support of the proposal and Donchatryit arguing against it, "It...allows states to destroy human rights at almost no cost."

Our new WA Delegate, Lord Tothe summed up arguments by claiming, "This legislation offers no protection to those who are properly defined as "freedom fighters" (attacking military and government targets as opposed to civilian targets, and seeking to throw off a government rather than destroy a nation) and would allow oppressive nations like me to squash freedom fighters in the name of defeating terrorists. It's a case of IC vs. OOC here..."

As voting drew to a close in AWP, voting showed 5 votes in support of the proposal, 3 against, 1 abstain and 3 people voting for the delegates own wishes. As a result, Tothe could well vote against the legislation still due to the strong arguments presented against the proposal!

*update*

The Resolution passed 5,660 votes to 3,853. Lord Tothe promised to act according to his OOC principles in his position as Delegate. He voted AGAINST it based on the lack of a definition of "terrorism" and the potential for abuses of power. - Lord Tothe's alternate personality as his own press secretary

Lord Tothe was recently elected AWP WA Delegate! Incumbent Biain the First has returned to duty in the RDF.

We recently joined the exclusive group of top 10 Most Powerful Delegates in the game. And then we decided to swap delegates and fell straight out of it!

I'm on my work computer now, and I can see the images from here. Either the issue has been resolved at Photobucket, or it was my ISP having the problem all along.
