Equilism Weekly Update

http://equilism.net/forum/index.php?act=idx

The Internal Affairs department has several new members, including Notherfork, Friend Computer and Funny Looking Islands. Their presence should greatly enhance the department. Northerfork has also just recently conducted a very well done interview with the current Senatorial candidate and familiar face, Koona.

Speaking of Koona, his campaign period is complete, and his position is now at a vote. He is currently up ten votes to one.

Internal Affairs has also been sponsoring an insane amount of games as of late. These including Truth or Dare, the Equilism Caption Contest, the Miss Equilism Pageant, Who Will Post Next?, Corrupt a Wish, Word Games, and the Never-ending story.

In Foreign Affairs, Astarial has been appointed as Ambassador to Ganchelkean States. An embassy has also been established in Australia, where Koona has taken over as Ambassador.

The region North Pacific has established an embassy in Equilism, and we hope to work closely with them in the future as friends.

The much disputed region of New Sparrow has been granted a consulate in Equilism. While Equilism still regards them as an enemy, we feel that diplomatic process is necessary even with regions with which we are ideologically opposed, and it is this line of thinking which prompted the move on our part.

Equilism has voted in favor of the UN Resolution “Fairness and Equality”, and is currently voting on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Resolution, which is up at the moment, 4 votes to 1.

Former Senator Alphawezen has been ejected from the council for inactivity, as in accordance with the Constitution.

Lastly, Equilism is undergoing diplomatic action with the Allied States of EuroIslanders concerning our alliance. Chaucerin, also the new Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, is leading negotiations on Equilism's behalf.

Population: 208 Nations
http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?act=idx

Our forums are back up and running, so make note of the new address, and head on over to join in on the debates and games.

The E-Army has been busy on several successful missions as of late, namely in 0 Beer Drinkers 0, and 1000 Islands. Once again, the E-Army has served us proud.

The New Sparrow Consulate, which had recently been opened at the Equilism forums, has been closed down, due the prominent NS members’ involvement in the recent events in The North Pacific.

Equilism is currently undergoing alliance talks with several regions, including The Proletariat Coalition, The West Pacific, Australia, and Ganchelkean States. Nothing is set in stone yet, but all parties are highly optimistic that highly successful and beneficial treaties will be created.

Equilism has also ratified a Mutual Defense Pact with the Allied States of EuroIslanders. Congratulations and thanks are in order to Chaucerin for a job well done spearheading the deal.

Notherfork has recently announced his candidacy for the Senate, and is answering questions in the elections board.

Internal Affairs has recently re-launched a telegram campaign designed to bring current residents of Equilism to our forums, and consequently getting them involved in the regional goings on.

Lastly, several heated debates have amassed as of late, including one about neoconservatives, and one about the European Union and trans-Atlantic relations.

Equilism Weekly Update
February 9th, 2005
President - Nooterland
Prime Minister / UN Delegate – Zapvilla
Population: 218 Nations
http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?act=idx

President Nooterland and Prime Minister Zapvilla have announced the first Better Equilism Convention. In the President’s own words, the Better Equilism Convention is a series of region-wide discussions on how to make our great region even better. Topics include the creation of new ideas, and reaffirming our ideals.

Minister of Intelligence Grothistan has resigned, and will be replaced by the extremely experienced and capable Westwind. Our thanks go out to both of them for their enduring service to the region. Grothistan has been granted intelligence advisor status, and
Former Deputy Intelligence Minister Compton in Los Angeles has been appointed as the new Dean of the Intelligence Academy

Minister of Immigration Neboe has also resigned, and has stated that he will retire from NationStates. We wish him the best, and can only offer our sincere gratitude for his numerous contributions to the region.

The E-Army has participated recently in missions in The Socialist Army (twice), and in defense of Portugal. Grothistan has also been awarded the Distinguished Service Order, and Sub-Actuality has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for their outstanding service to the Army and the region.

The E-Army has also introduced several new awards, including the E-Army Experience Bar, for every five missions completed, the Veteran Defender Award, the Equilism Defense Achievement Award, the Defender Spirit Award, and lastly the Defender Demi-God award.

Notherfork, has been elected to the Senate, by a vote of 16-4. Three others, Sub-Actuality, Moo-Cows with Guns, and Astarial have also announced their candidacy for Senate, and the latter two are currently at vote.

Equilism has also voted against the UN Resolution The sex Industry Worker Act, which passed in the UN.

Lastly, debates are still ongoing in many threads, with three of the most popular being debates about censoring Nazis, the European Union, and the ever popular Communism vs. Capitalism.

Equilism Weekly Update
February 17th, 2005
President - Nooterland
Prime Minister / UN Delegate – Zapvilla
Population: 198 Nations
http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?act=idx

Three new Senators have recently been elected – Astarial, Moo-cows with Guns, and Sub-Actuality. It is always great to see new faces getting involved in government, and we admire their commitment to the region.

On a sad note, several members have recently stepped down from their posts, and in one case, NationStates all together. Neboe, our esteemed former Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Immigration has retired from NationStates all together due to significant real life changes. He has contributed endlessly to the region, and will be sorely missed.

Unfortunately, the list of departing officials also includes Compton in Los Angeles, a winner of numerous awards for his work in intelligence, as well as a former Senator and Dean of the Intelligence Academy here in Equilism. We honor his firm dedication and tireless efforts to keep us safe.

The last of the three members to step down is Eurinaes, one of our newer Senators. She will be away during next week’s election campaigns, and felt that it would not be proper to run in absentia. Hopefully, she will be able to return to Equilism and her seat in the Senate when she returns.

Moving on to happier things, Equilism is proud to announce the completion and ratification to an alliance between Equilism and the Ganchelkean States. Led by Ganchelkas, the Ganchelkean States share our uncompromising morality and our deep respect for democracy. The alliance is just one more step towards promoting inter-regional prosperity and cooperation, and we wish to thank the good citizens of the Ganchelkean States for embracing this alliance in good spirits and in friendship.

Replacing Neboe as Minister of Immigration is Koona. Koona has shown a dedication to recruiting and expanding our great region. We wish him the best at his new post.

The current UN Resolution Repeal the Global Library is at vote, and is currently up 13 votes to 1.

The E-Army has been quite busy as of late, leading defender missions in Portugalia, Zimbabwe, The Socialist Army, Coalition of Socialist States, and in Rivendell.

Lastly, the Better Equilism Convention is wrapping up, and discussions are underway on specific changes to be implemented as a result of some of the more provoking dialogue in the convention.

Internal Affairs
Elections nominations and campaigns have been taking place last week. The positions open for election are President, Prime Minister and ten Senatorial Seats. Voting for all these positions is currently taking place. The current list of candidates:
President: Koona, Nooterland
Prime Minister: Zapvilla, Chaucerin
Senator: Chaucerin, Notherfork, Moo-Cows with guns, Astarial, Sub-Actuality

The Better Equilism Convention has finished and the facilitators of the different topics have written summary reports and an agenda for next term has been set.

Several active debates, discussions and games are ongoing on the forum.

Foreign Affairs
Equilism is proud to announce that we have started to vote on the ratification of an alliance between Equilism and the West Pacific. The West Pacific shares our uncompromising morality and our deep respect for democracy. The alliance will be just one more step towards promoting inter-regional prosperity and cooperation, and we wish to thank the good citizens of the West Pacific for embracing this alliance in good spirits and in friendship.

We are also happy to announce the ratification of an alliance with The Proletariat Coalition. Our Foreign Affairs Minister Neo-Conservatism said:
"We look forward to continued prosperity and cooperation between our regions, and we thank the Coalition for its dedication to defender causes throughout NationStates."

The North Pacific Underground has been granted a Consulate in Equilism, as we share our sympathies with the nations-in-exile, and we look forward to the return of a democratic North Pacific.

The Region of Europa has opened up an embassy in our region. Europa is commited to the same democratic ideals as us, and we look forward to continued cooperation and mutual prosperity between our great regions.

We voted AGAINST the "Right to Self-Protection" UN Resolution.

We voted FOR the Repeal of the "The Global Library" UN Resolution.

Military
The E-Army has been quite busy as of late, leading and helping with defender missions in Alliance of Stalinist States, Liechtenstein, Rivendell, Coalition of Socialist States and 0 Latin American Union.

A new batch of Cadets has graduated and a new batch is currently being trained. We look forward to accepting these new Cadets into our ranks as Soldier very soon.

Intelligence
The new Intelligence Minister Westwind has issued a public report on the Department. Main points of his report were:

- New Intelligence resources have been established for the use of both the Intelligence and Military Ministries.

- The classification of some materials has been re-evaluated and made available to more Intelligence agents.

- New dossiers have been opened on several major Invader Organizations/Regions to facilitate intelligence gathering.

- The Minister continues to work closely with our allies to watch for potential threats, and to develop strategies to counter those threats.

- The Ministry has determined that the current Regional Security Alert level should remain at Blue. Member nations should always be on alert for the potential of infiltrating hostile nations. Further, the region should be prepared to maintain homeland security during delegate transfer at the conclusion of elections, should a new delegate be elected.

Immigration
The Immigration Department continues to actively seek for new members. This week we have welcomed several new members, we hope they will enjoy their stay.

I hope they are. Well Here's the UPdate.

Equilism Weekly Update
March 7th, 2005
President - Nooterland
Prime Minister / UN Delegate – Chaucerin
Population: 194 Nations
http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?act=idx

The Equilism Elections are officially over, and the results are as follows:
Official Presidential election results:
Nooterland - 66.67%
Koona - 14.29%
Abstain - 19.05%

Official Prime Minister election results:
Chaucerin - 71.43%
Zapvilla - 19.05%
Abstain - 9.52%

All senators were re-elected, including Astarial, Sub-Actuality, Moo-cows with guns, and Notherfork. Chaucerin was also re-elected, but as he will be the Prime Minister, stepped down from his Senate seat, as well his position as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and as Chief Justice of the Equilism court.

We thank everyone who ran and consequently participated in the advancement of democracy in Equilism.

Equilism is proud to announce the ratification of its alliance with The West Pacific. We look forward to continued prosperity and cooperation between our regions, and we thank the West Pacific for its dedication to defender causes throughout NationStates.

An embassy has been established in The South Pacific, and Moo-cows with guns has taken on the role of ambassador to the region. We look forward to the strengthening of ties between our regions.

Due to the Allied States of Euro-Islanders ratifying the creation of a Delian league, Equilism has issued the following statement, and will pull out of its Mutual Defense Pact with the ASE immediately:
Quote:
 
With the formation of the Delian League a signator of the Mutual Defense Pact with Equilism has ceased to exist as a sovereign region. This does not represent a new alliance for your region, but rather a complete redefinition of it.

This being the case, and not having been consulted to be informed of the contrary, Equilism hereby considers all treaty relationships with the former ASE to be no longer in effect or binding.

We note that the change in the nature of your region, the existence of a new treaty relationship, and the inferred preservation of the treaties of your new partners collectively violate sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the existing Pact. There are multiple grounds to void the treaty and we are exercising all of these.

It is with some personal sadness that this diplomat notes that no information regarding this new arrangement was sent to Equilism through any official, diplomatic channels. The absence of this very minor courtesy speaks volumes.


Lastly, the E-Army has been involved in several missions in the past week. It saw action in the regions of Sex and dictatorship. Also sign-ups for the new E-Army officer course are currently being accepted.
