Embassy - Texas

[Ananke II]

Welcome to the embassy of
Texas

[The Great Pharaoh]

Secretary of Defense "New Ambassador" speech posted in the 10000 Islands Embassy in Texas.

*** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ***

16 March, 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas and 10000 Islands,

It is my great pleasure and honor as Texas Secretary of State to announce today the appointment of a new Texas Ambassador to the region of 10000 Islands. Great Pharaoh of the Empire of The Great Pharaoh has accepted the responsibilities and duties of representing Texas to the fine people of 10000 Islands. Great Pharaoh, in another guise, is known as Richard I and has recently been elected as the Texas Secretary of Defense. This will help in bringing our two regions together both diplomatically and militarily, as TITO and the TDF look to be working closer together in the future to fight off the Invader Scum of the NS universe.

It has been a long while since our two regions have exchanged ambassadors, but with our renewed desire to form closer bonds, we welcome this opportunity to strengthen both Texas and 10000 Islands.

Please join President Big Tex and myself in wishing Great Pharaoh best wishes and God speed as he journeys to 10000 Islands to take up his new responsibilities.

We would also like you all to join us in welcoming the 10000 Islands Ambassador to Texas, Senator Yoroshiku-sama of The People Who Make a Lot of Noyz. The Senator has been in Texas for several months but his arrival went mostly unheralded and we'd like to remedy that at this time.

The send off celebration begins this evening at 8 PM Texas time in the 10000 Islands Embassy in Texas, and will continue throughout the week, culminating in a visit to Texas by several 10000 Island members and dignitaries on Friday and Saturday, including our weekly Texas Regional Chat at High Noon Texas Time on Saturday in our regional forum chat room.

Cheers 10000 Islands! Cheers Texas!

Louis Caldwell
Texas Secretary of State

[Ananke II]

Welcome to the forum, The Great Pharaoh. It's great to have you here. I'm sure I'm not the only ne looking forward to our visit in Texas soon.

[Wordy]

I had a great time in Texas *swings rope*
I think I need more practice at roping though

[Noyzistan]

it's a good thing you have your very own texan to practice your roping skills.

[Anime Daisuki]

You can practice roping on my little pony, here, I'll lend it to you. Her name is 'Thumper'

[Wordy]

hahaha..Cant wait to see a saddle on Thumper.

Regional Events



Texas hosted a St. Paddy’s Day party complete with bagpipers, green beer and Big Tex in a kilt. At least we think it was Big Tex – we might have imbibed a wee bit much o’ the green beer.



Flush with the success of that, we hosted a beach party for spring break. It was attended by Big Tex, Bearries, and the crew of Voyager. Again, we blame the brew for the hallucinations.



And in the ongoing Chat Box – we have discussed missing people, war and the lyrics to odd sixties songs. Once again, we blame the drugs.

Interregional Events

Texas opened its borders to the friendly nations of 10000 Islands for the 10KI Getting’ to Know Our Allies Tour, March 18 - 20. Texas held a Lone Star Stock Show & Rodeo, where the beer never stopped flowing, chaps were in fashion, and a lasso was your only means of getting yourself a cowboy.

Recently, Texas was invited to Liberty Alliance for a meet and greet. We brought over truck loads of Texas Beer, Texas BBQ, and our world renowned Texas Breakfast. Both Texas and Liberty Alliance are busy losing the pounds we gained over the weekend.

Texas Department of Space Affairs[/u]

The Texas Space agency is proud to announce a new uniform. All departments except for security are expected to fully transition to the new uniform by June 09, 2010. The two piece uniform is designed to be more user friendly with division colors predominantly displayed on the shoulders and the rank insignia placed over the left collarbone.



Role Play

In the Recreation Center, Trecdom and CHW are finally fulfilling their desire to nuke the heck out of each other in role play. Darned if we know what’s going on. We just wish we had the arms contracts for both countries. We also think recreational stimulants might be involved.



Statement from the Commanding General of the Trecdom Military.

On 24 March 2010, the nation of Crazy Hell for War launched an invasion of Trecdom. The reasons behind such action are not clear but it is suspected CHW was unhappy with economic sanctions being levied by Trecdom. While a stalemate soon brought the ground war to a crawl, both sides launched massive air strikes. Due to threats by CHW, the Trecdom Nuclear Force was given real launch orders for the first time in Trecdom History. Those forces were recalled however, when the weapons launched by CHW were destroyed prior to impact. On 4 April 2010, with assistance from Independent Planets, Trecdom forces were able to force a withdrawal of all enemy troops. Both sides are currently under a ceasefire while a more binding peace treaty makes its way through the Trecdom Council.

I love those new uniforms. I think however I will be keeping the chaps

Nice Update! Thank You Pharaoh.

The Great Region of Texas officially issues Congratulations to each and every nation that was elected, that ran, that voted, that viewed these proceedings! These were some great elections as usual! We had a couple of really close races, most notably, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State with Pharaoh Richard & Independent Planets being the primary contenders fighting it out for both. When the dust settled, each has a Cabinet position. The Goddess of Texas faced some serious trouble from that devious No Confidence fellow, but she remains our Goddess and Ruler of The World. The TRC was a close one as well with some seriously close contests. Cheers to the new TRC representatives, it was a hard-fought race. The Vice President of Texas sees Chief Bottle Washer Jmac of Greenspoint reprising his role after CHB recently vacated the position. And in a surprise move, Bears dropped out of the race for Counterculture leading to a walkover for long-term Cabinet candidate CHW who defeated No Confidence. In the other races, all the incumbents safely defeated their challenger or No Confidence. Even the President defeated them, resoundingly!

Everyone needs to congratulate Sweet Furry Kittens on retaining her position! For an entire quarter, lightening has been rippling across the surface of her eyes. She could definitely handle some kowtowing, benevolence, huggles and probably chocolate (or maybe even tequila). The TDF will remain on standing guard at The Goddess Shack, at a safe distance, to protect Texans.

Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! This quarter, we had fewer speeches than usual, but that is Ok. Texans are still very much alive and are a dynamic bunch after all these years! Kudos!

Again, we had an Election without any questionable "moments" in the races this quarter, but that is a good thing. It was a nice clean race.

There were an unprecedented thirteen Texas Constitutional actions up for a vote this quarter! The New Article, Texas Nation Anthem, failed, but Maryginia seem undeterred and we expect to see that one up for a vote again in the future, possibly with a new song. There were three Repeals of existing legislation that were all defeated. That is a tribute to the Constitution reflecting Texans' values. No Article has ever been repealed in the Texas Constitution. Of the nine Amendments to the Texas Constitution, three resulted in ties, 1 failed and 5 passed. Legal scholars will have to make a determination on what happens in the result of a tie (looks toward the Three-headed Monster in the corner).

Big cheers to all the new and returning Texas Representative Council members and new and returning Cabinet members! Farewell to the departing ones, your service is appreciated and we look forward to seeing you once again in the future! Special thanks to all who ran and if you didn't win, we hope you run again in the future.

Overall, this has been great fun and a highlight for all Texans. We look forward to seeing how the new freely-elected Government of Texas will make Texas bigger, better and greater than ever! Cheers to The Great Region of Texas!


Long Live The Great Region of Texas!


Big Tex
President of Texas

[Cerb]

Thank you very much for the update.

Our best wishes for the new government!

[Anime Daisuki]

Texas seems to have amended the Constitution a lot!

Is it amend-able through a government vote or must a general WA vote be cast?

[Guy]

Wow, that sure is a lot of amendments!

Congrats on being elected Secretary of Defense, Pharaoh.

[The Great Pharaoh]

Thanks!

It is amend-able every quarter. Any registered citizen may submit their amendment(s). Also, every registered citizen/player is allowed one vote on each issue. They must be registered before the elections process starts, WA or not. Puppets are not given a vote.

[The Great Pharaoh]

Just stopping by to say Howdy.

*breaks out a case of tequila*

... shot, anyone?

[Cerb]

*wheels in a keg*.

I'll take your tequila and raise you 3 beers.

We had a couple of really close races, most notably, Secretary of Counterbalance and Secretary of Space with Crazy Hell For War being the primary contender fighting it out for both. When the dust settled, CHW loast his Counterbalance Cabinet position to former VP Crosby-Huffman-Barret. The Goddess of Texas was a casualty this quarter as, at her request, her position was eliminated. She will remain Goddess in our hearts The World will have to do without a Ruler for a while. The TRC race was a strange one with the departure of Havensky, who is still MIA and all the positions not being filled by the remaining contenders. CHW rejoins the TRC as a consolation prize. We do not know exactly what happens when all the positions are not filled. We are sure our legal experts are reviewing the Constitution now to see what happens with that open position. Cheers to the returning TRC representatives. That devious No Confidence fellow did not present a real challenge to any of the Cabinet positions with the exception of the Department of World Assembly Affairs! The incumbents barely defeated the challenge by No Confidence by one vote. As usual, the President defeated No Confidence, resoundingly, we might add.

Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! This quarter, we had less speeches and less nominations than usual, but that is Ok. This usually happens during the Third Quarter Elections which happen durign the Big Summer Die-Off. Texans are still very much alive, yet older, and are a dynamic bunch even after all these years! Kudos!

Again, we had an Election without any questionable "moments" in the races this quarter, but that is a good thing. It was a nice clean race.

In this Election, we again had what was previously unprecedented - thirteen Texas Constitutional actions up for a vote this quarter! The two New Articles, Texas Regional Anthem and Right to Petition in Texas, failed. However we suspect Maryginia is still undeterred and we expect to see that one up for a vote again in the future. CHW is a tough cookie too and we suspect we will see something similar again in the future. There were 4 Repeals of existing legislation that were all defeated. That is a tribute to the Constitution reflecting Texans' values. No Article has ever been repealed in the Texas Constitution. Of the seven Amendments to the Texas Constitution, 3 failed and 4 passed.

Thanks for the update. I do love a good election.

[The Great Pharaoh]

The Texas Elections have begun once again. We're having nominations this week, followed by debate and speeches the next week, and voting the week after.

In the meantime, I bring barbecue and beer! Steak anyone?

[Cerb]

Always ready for steak!

[Independent Planets]

Hello there! This is Independent Planets, current Secretary of State for the great region of Texas. Sorry for the late appearance on your boards. Glad to be here though!

In light of recent events, we'd like to reemphasize our support of 10KI and TITO, and what they represent. While we have no official information to share as of yet, our own nation has decided to change the national flag to the TDF battle flag in honor of 10KI/TITO until this incident has ended.

[Cerb]

We are extremely pleased to see you here.

It is always wonderful to hear messages of support from our most honored friends at Texas.

The Great Region of Texas officially issues Congratulations to each and every nation that was elected, that ran, that voted, that viewed these proceedings! These were some great elections as usual! We had a couple of really close races, most notably, Secretary of World Assembly Affairs! In a first, that pesky No Confidence has gained a foothold in Texas! When the dust settled, the Three-Headed Monster that was our Secretary of WA Affairs has grown a new head! What a beast! We bet no region in the entire world can claim the need for not two, not three, but four Secretaries for wrangling Texans and their voraciaous WA appetites. The Secretary of Counterbalance was a casualty this quarter as the position was eliminated. The TRC race was another action-packed one. There was a five-way tie for the final four positions, so we will have an extra member this quarter. Wolf MacLeod was the only casualty amongst incumbents and Ziotica is a newcomer to the TRC. Crosby-Huffman-Barret returns to the TRC after an absence and Cielos Negros returns after probably the longest hiatus in the history of the Texas Elections (it must be at least five years, if not six or seven). Cheers to the returning TRC representatives. That devious No Confidence fellow did not present a real challenge to the other Cabinet positions. As usual, the President defeated No Confidence, resoundingly, we might add.

Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! This quarter, we had less speeches and less nominations than usual, but that is Ok. Nobody likes too much drama during Elections. Texans are still very much alive, yet older, and are a dynamic bunch even after all these years! Kudos!

Again, we had an Election without any questionable "moments" in the races this quarter, but that is a good thing. It was a nice clean race.

In this Election, we again had another plethora of Texas Constitutional actions up for a vote this quarter! The one New Article, Texas Regional Anthem, was very close to being Thank God I am A Country Boy yet missed it by one vote. However we suspect Maryginia is still undeterred and we expect to see that one up for a vote again in the future. There was 1 Repeal of existing legislation that passeed. This was the first Article has ever been repealed in the Texas Constitution. It was simply redundant and was a housekeeping move. The other 6 actions were all Amendments and all passed. There was some spirited debate on one of them, but it passed ultimately. That is a tribute to the Constitution reflecting Texans' values.

Big cheers to all the returning Texas Representative Council members and returning Cabinet members! Farewell to the departing ones, your service is appreciated and we look forward to seeing you once again in the future!

State of the Region Address

The Great Region of Texas officially issues Congratulations to each and every nation that was elected, that ran, that voted, that viewed these proceedings! These were some great elections as usual! None of the races were all that close, despite No Confidence running in all of them. They only received a single vote in each race. All the incumbents running retained their positions. As we mentioned earlier, the Texas Department of State has closed. It may reopen next Election. The Texas Representative Council race was pretty tame as well. The former Sec-O-State, A Mysterious Vagabond, is staying in the TRC even though he will not be in the Cabinet. We hope he enjoys a much needed rest after serving these last two long quarters. We hope he returns in the future. As usual, the President defeated No Confidence, resoundingly, we might add

Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! We had fewer speeches and fewer nominations than usual, but that is Ok.

Again, we had an Election without any questionable "moments" in the races this quarter, but that is a good thing. It was a nice clean race.

In this Election, we had several Texas Constitutional actions up for a vote. Three Articles were purely housekeeping in effect. One concerned ties, one removed an unused/unimplemented TRC power and one was about ejections. None of these were earth-shaking. However, there was an earth-shaking one, Amendment to Article XII, which covered the frequency of Elections. This Amendment changed the Quarterly elections to Triannual Elections. We are going from four Elections a year to three. The exact months have yet to be determined, but it would stand to reason that it would be four months from the last Election. The new Article on a National Anthem was trounced again. Texas is a rough crowd when it comes to music.

Big cheers to all the returning Texas Representative Council members and returning Cabinet members! Farewell to the departing ones, your service is appreciated and we look forward to seeing you once again in the future! Special thanks to all who ran and if you didn't win, we hope you run again in the future.
