Embassy - South Pacific

[Lenlyvit]

Welcome to the embassy of
South Pacific

[Deleted]

Thank you very much Kuriko!
The South Pacific has been working very hard for this embassy! We appreciate the opportunity. As Delegate, I inherited a region that had a rough past. We cordially invite you, and your region to a summit meeting with SP. Our relationship is the top priority for our region. I feel this relationship will be a historic one! One that will last for ages!

Hello 10000 Islands,

Over the last month, SP has been busy with recruiting, tightening down on security, and continues to establish relationships with other regions. Our plan is to be working along side TSP this coming week. While we are in process of working on setting up Ambassadorship program.

South Pacific Monthly Update

WA Delegate: Mysterious Wonder 
 

      WA Delegate, Mysterious Wonder, introduced the Ambassadorship Work Program. Her intentions are to double the size of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As South Pacific has doubled under her Delegacy, many regions are interested in establishing relations with the region. Having Ambassadors will relieve pressure on her and the Foreign Affairs staff. The program is scheduled to be opened up in March.

WA Affairs 

This month, newly Deputy Minister Maowi passed a GA resolution called, Defending The Rights of Sexual, and Gender Minority’s. There are rumors that Maowi will eventually be the new Minister of the World Assembly after passing this resolution. Mysterious Wonder said, “This resolution is an incredible piece of legislation. Maowi worked extremely hard, and I couldn’t be more proud!”
This was the first resolution passed under the current administration.

Endorsement Caps on the Rise

The Endorsement Cap has risen again. On February 23, 2019, WA Delegate, Mysterious Wonder signed an executive order to raise the endorsement caps to the following. Vice Delegate 18, Nations endorsing the Delegate 12, and nations not endorsing the Delegate 3. She says it will create competitivity, and will spark an interest in the WA Ministry. This is the third time it has risen under her Delegacy. 

The South Pacific is expected to meet South Pacific 

South Pacific WA Delegate, and her staff are preparing to meet with The South Pacific. TSP is finished with elections, and has expressed interest in meeting with Mysterious Wonder and her team. The date of this meeting is still being decided on.

Mysterious Wonder condemns CrystalSummer 

Mysterious Wonder shocked The Free Nations Region officials when she ordered the closure of the embassy. She stated that she would not have an embassy with a region who’s founder who tried to coup her region’s government over the summer of 2018. It’s her first hard stance since taking office.

Vice Delegate brings new Games to town

Vice Delegate, Holly United, is bringing Civilization RP to South Pacific. Originally scheduled to be apart of Salem, it was changed after Mysterious Wonder said she could not handle running both regions. It’s not clear whether she will return to Salem or TEP after she is done with her Delegacy. She did say she hoped this RP would create another interest here in the region.

Executive

This regional update sees in the new World Assembly Delegate of South Pacific, Panther. Without any other candidates declaring their intent to run, there was not actually an election, leaving the legitimacy of Panther's administration in severe question. Citizens are left pining for "the good ole days" when Johanneslanden was delegate.

New Cabinet Appointees:
Vice Delegate || The lepearchauns
Minister of Foreign Affairs || Johanneslanden
World Assembly Minister || Killiningo
Culture Minister || A Down and Dusky Blonde
Sergeant-at-arms || Densaner
Poet Laureate || Noxious Air

Constitutional

There were a couple proposed amendments to the region's constitution. The first, which would officially remove the offsite forum, passed unanimously:

The second, which would have allowed for the region to enter into military alliances during times of crisis, fell at the vote.

Cultural

I would like to feature a factbook from a newer member of the region which displays their work on constructed language:

A limerick contest saw a flurry of contributions:

•
The limerick's callous and crude,
Its morals distressingly lewd;
It's not worth the reading
By persons of breeding--
It's designed for us vulgar and rude.
~ Noxious Air
•
Keep your distance when out on the town,
To fail will prompt many a frown,
Total war is being waged,
And many People are caged,
Re. the malady wearing a crown.
~ Densaner
•
A Down and Dusky Blonde
Sat musing and alone by a pond
She wished for a friend
Who'd her loneliness end
But who was there to respond.

Well, I have been here [on NationStates] longer than any school I studied in or job I “worked” at.
Over the years I have connected with people who have passed through our region, people who have come from the four corners of our planet.
Paladinsanity that crazy Aussie joker. Trev the greybeard who went to kindergarten with Methuselah’s grandfather. West Kondor, the USMC alum. ABC the lunatic. Nox with his endless supply of limericks. Down and Dusky, a voice of sanity in our crazed corner of the cosmos. And even Lep, despite our GIGANTIC differences, I believe him to be a man of conviction and principle, who has the best interests of our region at heart. And many regional natives have come from the USA, whose people, despite international stereotypes can be kind, thoughtful and very funny.
To be sure, there have been villains a plenty. Kyal, Jakker and Mysterious Wonder, to name but three.
What is NS? Why, it’s home!
SP is the street on which we all live.
Howdy, neighbour! 🏠 🏠

This month's report written by Panther

South Pacific Regional Update
January 2021

Panther relaxing after a hard day’s campaigning

Incumbent delegate secures second term
The Winter Elections this year were the most hotly contested the region has seen for some time. Four candidates in all ran, though two - [nation]Mauryavarsha[/nation] and former acting-delegate [nation]Holly United[/nation] - dropped out mid-way through, endorsing incumbent [nation]Panther[/nation] and former delegate [nation]Densaner[/nation] respectively.
The final results were: Holly United: 1; Mauryavarsha: 2; Densaner: 3; Panther: 20. Thus, with a resounding 77% of the votes, Panther will remain Delegate of South Pacific for a further six months.

The Ministry is now fully prepared to receive foreign guests

Foreign Ministry reorganised
The Department of Foreign Affairs saw reorganization following the inauguration of the delegate’s second term. Americatain was brought into the government as “Foreign Affairs Commissioner,” a position which will take point in all dealings with our embassy regions and interact with his counterparts in their ministries. Rongorongo, the former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, will handle things behind the scenes, such as organizing and maintaining the various embassies and ambassadors. Killiningo, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, will stay on in an advisory capacity to assistent the new officers.
In this way, the hope is that it makes the Department of Foreign Affairs more flexible and efficient, allowing for those with less experience to get involved and contribute to the running of the government.

Construction on the new Embassy is well underway

Embassy opened with The Social Liberal Union
On the 13th of January 2020, Ainland (founder of [region]Social Liberal Union[/region]) removed and ejected the democratically elected government of that region. His reasoning behind this ‘coup’ was his belief the region shouldn’t have an embassy with North Korea, who openly “support” the real life DPRK government. The democratically elected government of the region, exiled from their home, luckily had a back up region. Although SLU was previously a close friend of South Pacific, we have decided to cut ties from the couped region. To reflect this, we have commenced the destruction of our embassy there, and have formed a new embassy in its successor, [region]The Social Liberal Union[/region]. We value their friendship greatly, and look forward to strengthening our regional bonds.

A recent shipwreck saw a handful of Sahcarans stranded on Guild Federation land

Roleplay region founded
Following a poll held in August, it was agreed that a Roleplay would be initiated for those interested in the region, and on November 4th, the RP region was founded: [region]Dreamtime[/region], inspired by the popular name to refer to Australian Aboriginal mythology. This is not the name of the in-character land, so a new poll was made in order to name that land. Among five options, the name chosen was “Mayburra”, which means “many” in an Australian Aboriginal language. On November 11th, the roleplay applications were opened. November 12th was supposed to be the official launch, but this was postponed due to last-hour discussions about the land. The date was then set to November 26th, but it was delayed again, this time due to the region being ‘featured’. Panther then had to make a “cleaning” at the RMB due to the amount of comments congratulating the region for being featured, and to eject nations which were not interested in the roleplay but moved there just due to the region being featured. On November 30th, the RP was finally launched. The region currently has ten members, and was founded through a puppet of the present delegate, Panther.
