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.

Greetings, I'm, Neanbear, and I'm running as the Independent People's Party candidate for the Southern Senate Seat. So you may be thinking " Why should I vote for this guy?", well I'll try to answer some questions in this manifesto.

One of my priorities would be the economy. I believe we need to give our economy a kick start to raise the overall activity of our members in the (in)famous "Summer Slump". One of my ideas is an economic stimulus grant. I think it will encourage more people to spends. The difference will be the money won't appear out of thin-air members will have to apply, and the money will come from The Regional Reserve. Now you may be thinking " Isn't this going to leave us in debt?" Well here's my next idea a tax. I know some out there won't like the idea of a tax, but it will be payable to the regional reserve which will improve the region. How you may ask? You'll find out soon ;)

*Edit: Here is the manifesto from Biain the First. Since he sent it so promptly, I'll add it to the current issue.

Hi Biain here,
Some of you may know me already as the previous delegate of AWP, some of you may not. However my policies have not changed in my absence form the senate though the focus has. DCAPCOMR is a party that stands on the platform of trying to represent as many of the views of the nations of this region as possible, but obviously we need to know these views before we can represent them hence why we need to encourage people to get on the forums and get active. This is something I attempted while delegate and something I will attempt while senator. The way I believe we can do this is by revitalising the economy, either by creating new ways to make and spend money or by using existing areas of the forums to do so. An example would be creating specific departments with formalised wage structures (the defense department already does this but I would like to see it in immigration as well). Another area that could be looked at is a seperate forum area for NS2 discussions and plans. Also keeping people informed about the changes is a must either by TG's or posts on the RMB. I believe not only will this get people more involved but it may lessen the effects of the summer die off on our region.

Thank you for taking the time to read my manifesto,
Biain the First

AWP RDF Mission Count: 135 missions

In the light of Ranholn's recent retirement a by-election for the Southern Senate seat is now underway. Following nominations a heated debate has begun over issues including the Economy, Immigration and the future of AWP. The candidates are Neanbear of the Independent Peoples Party who previously held the seat and Biain the First of DCAPCOMR who recently lost the Delegate election. Independent newspaper has suggested POP haven't fielded a candidate in support of Biain's candidacy as a vote swap that took place during Delegate elections.

Neasmyrna and Greekamerican's absence has led to a slight lull in activity and an expected drop in the regional population. Efforts are being made to bring renewed activity to the region.

The RDF is active again and is partially to blame for our population decrease and several of our updaters, most notably Rancid Bunnies and Neanbear, have been prolific in helping out our allies at the FRA and our good friends TITO.

Minister of Defence, Numero Capitan is trying to bring increased activity into our foreign affairs department. New ambassadors are being assigned to many regions and a new 'Embassy of the Month' award is going to be given to the region who keeps the most active and interesting embassy in AWP each month. Innovation is encouraged!

Neanbear has been assigned to Uroca, Fidelia and Lichentia, AmericaXLI has been assigned to New Sorvun and The New Revolution, The United Middle East has been assigned to Liberty Republic and Rancid Bunnies has been assigned to North Pacific. If you wish to be an ambassador then please ask Numero!

Pope Lexus, FRA Redevelopment Minister and friend of the region has organised another regional recruitment competition, this time for FRA regions. Please RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT! Ask Numero or Neanbear for information!

Attack of the Blonde Jokes!

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the Doctor's' office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.

“Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."

The redhead takes her finger, pushes on her left breast and screams. Then she pushes her elbow and screams in even more agony. She pushes her knee and screams; likewise she pushes her ankle and screams. Everywhere she touches makes her scream.

The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead, are you?”

"Well, no" she says, "I was born a blonde."

"I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is broken."

******
Two blonde girls were building a house together. One blonde was cutting the wood and the other was on a ladder nailing. Before hammering in a nail; the blonde on the ladder would reach into her nail pouch, look at it, and either toss it over her shoulder or proceed to hammer it into the wood.

The other blonde, confused, watched her do this and after she could take it no longer yelled up, “Why the %@#& are you throwing some of the nails away?!”

“Whoa! Don’t yell!” the blonde on the ladder explained, “If it’s pointed toward me when I pull it out of my pouch, I throw it away. If it’s pointed toward the house, then I can use it safely! Duh!”

The second blonde became irate at this point and started to call her all kinds of names, referencing how stupid she was and how she was the reason blondes get a bad rap for being dumb. She explained the importance of keeping all the nails, “Don’t throw away the nails that are pointed toward you! They’re for the other side of the house! Duh!”

******
Deep beyond the azure sea, and far into the craggy shores there lies a hidden cave. And in this cave there is a magical mirror. If you were to stand in front of this mirror and speak something which is true, you get granted one wish, and if you stand in front of it and tell a lie, then *poof!* you vanish off the face the off the earth.


So after much trekking, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead reach the magical mirror.


The brunette stands in front of the mirror and says:

"I think I'm the prettiest girl in the world" and *poof!* she vanishes.


The redhead stands in front of the mirror and says:

"I think I'm the smartest girl in the world" and *poof!* she vanishes.


The blonde stands in front of the mirror and says:

"I think-" *poof!* she vanishes.

******
Two blonds are driving down a country highway when they see another blond in a corn field rowing a boat. One blond says to the other you know it is blonds like her that gives the rest of us a bad name. And the other blond replied yeah if I knew how to swim I would go out there and hit her.

******
Q: A brunette and a blond jump off a moving plane at the same time which one hits the ground first?
A: The brunette, because the blond had to stop and ask for directions

******
Two blondes are walking along the street and one says: "Oh look, a dead bird!"

The other looks up and says "Where?

Anyone offended? If not, replace "blonde" with "member of a group that includes you" and post how offended you are below.
