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.

Special Election Update




In keeping with the elections act 2005, Prime Minister Bilrow called a general election for the House of Commons for October 24th. These elections saw 13 people running for a seat in the HoC, with many new faces among them. It also saw several old hands running, such as OnderKelkia, Bilrow and Clemantion. This term also sees the retirement of two experienced members of the house. Fenchurch, a former Prime Minister, long term cabinet member and current Foreign Minister has retired stating that she believes it is time for newer members of the region to shine. Engul, another long term cabinet member and current WA delegate has also not stood for reelection stating that RL was getting much busier for him and that he wasn't sure that he had enough time to dedicate to the region.

You can read their retirement announcements by clicking the following links:

The polls closed on the 24th of October, with the results being as follows:


Quote:
 
Clemantion (Independent) 25 [19.08%]
The Kingdom of Paquerettes (Independent) 18 [13.74%]
Pope Righteousness III (Independent) 16 [12.21%]
Bilrow (Independent) 15 [11.45%]
OnderKelkia (Independent) 14 [10.69%]
RugbyProp87 (FPCP) 7 [5.34%]
Donchatryit (The "I should really be retired" Party) 7 [5.34%]
Sir Stanley (Independent) Whig 6 [4.58%]
James Byrne (Independent Whig) 6 [4.58%]
Sur Abruzzi (Independent) 6 [4.58%]
Spazzystan (Conservative) 5 [3.82%]
Nay (The Monarch Party) 2    [1.53%]
Leach Island Dictator (The Monarch Party) 4    [3.05%]


This meant that the 11 members of the House of Commons this term are:

Pope Righteousness III
Sir Stanley
Clemantion
Rugbyprop87
OnderKelkia
James Byrne
The Kingdom of Paquerettes
Sur Abruzzi
Spazzystan
Donchatryit
Bilrow


A further stirr has also been caused by the candidates Nay and Leach Island Dictator, and questions have been raised as to the identity of the two, when Nay posted the manifesto of Leach Island Dictator. A case has been brought to the High Court regarding the matter, as it is illegal in GB&I to run for election as more than one candidate.

After the elections were over, the new MPs began the task of selecting the new Prime Minister for the term. OnderKelkia and Clemantion were both seconded, and a further candidate, Donchatryit put his name forward and was also seconded. The three prospective PMs debated for approximately 48 hours before a vote was held. This debate can be found by clicking
Here

The final ballot can be located Here

Clemantion recieved the votes from 6 MPs, while OnderKelkia claimed 3 and Donchatryit 2. This meant that Clemantion received the confidence of a majority of the HoC and will form the next government of the region. As yet he has not been appointed by the King, but it is expected that he will open parliament within the next 5 days.



Military Success


On the 25th of October, forces from Great Britain and Ireland's Royal Navy succeeded in taking over the region Chicago. The victory is a fantastic achievement for all soldiers involved and for First Sea Lord OnderKelkia, who made the following announcement.

Quote:
 
It is my pleasure to announce that this update the Royal Navy single-handedly took the region Chicago, despite a mild FRA attempt to defend it before the end. I hereby congratulate all other sailors involved on their victory.



The Royal Navy have since left the region.
