QUESTION=Do you believe that the 10000 Islands should become more or less involved in the NationStates world?

Again I will try to make this speech as short as possible and not go into a huge, rambling essay.

I feel that personally as a 10000 Islands member there is no reason to become more involved in the NationStates world at this moment in time however as we grow, things change and so do our alliances therefore we should become more involved when the (our) time is right. ie, when we have a strong, big backbone of a nation capable of defending itself and helping others whenever needs be.

Don't get me wrong we are close to that already as we have already suceeded in both the Urbanites and Romania but we are still a developing nation and the time is not yet right to become more involved. Becoming more involved straight away would seemingly be an invitation for trouble. As we all well know there are some regions and nations (naming no names) who simply were built for "World Domination" or "Troublemaking". If we became too involved these nations could take advantage of us and although they may be weak on the outside they could have secret allies. Although this is incredibly farfetched we cannot rule out this possibility and until we are 100% certain of defending ourselves to the max we shouldn't take ANY risks whatsoever.

As TheSensitiveNewAge said (good points by the way) we must be cautious and hang back for a while until the time is right. Despite this i feel that 10000 Islands plays quite an active role within the NS world and it's not as if we don't play a part at all. However, there is playing a part and playing a BIG part and we must not fall into the latter.

QUESTION= As Senator what would you do with the current map-making situation?

As Senator i would make sure that somebody in particular was assigned to the job and that he had the correct software. I would help him in any way i could whether that be through giving him links for downloads to helping him out with the nations. Obviously if there is nobody who wants the job of Cartographer General then i would obviously attempt it myself, if that was possible.

Panthenia's Credentials

Eventhough the United Socialist States of Panthenia does not have the experience of some other nations running for senate that does not always matter. Every nation has to start somewhere. Whether that be Himes, New Parthini or even Grub we always learn as we go along and i feel it is time for my nation to take that step up from being a regular nation to being on the council of nine.

I realise that that step won't come by the click of a finger and we aim to work as hard as possible for this position. Firstly, we at Panthenia would like to inform you of our experience in NS overall:

-Quite Experienced, developing nation.
-TITO and longstanding UN-Member.
-Ambassador to the Trinity Republic.
-Very Active member of the 10000 Islands.

Although not the most experienced you've ever seen we are very determined to make a good job and Panthenia likes nothing more than a good challenge. That's what it's going to be as well...a challenge.

Thank You,
The United Socialist States of Panthenia

Pre-Emptive Strikes and War

QUESTION= If a member of TITO has intelligence that states a nation is about to launch an attack on another, would you support a pre-emptive strike on this nation? Why or why not?

As much as i trust every member of TITO i would not go along with a pre-emptive strike. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, if this "Intelligence" came from one or a couple of nations it would throw up the case of whether it is true or not. Secondly, a pre-emptive strike on the (possible) invader nation could spark off something else. ie, a rebellion or another invasion. Thirdly, 10000 Islands would need to look into the full extent of the issue anyway before anything happens.

Despite this my job as Senator would not give me these powers and i respectfully understand that. Personally what i would do in that situation if i had the powers i would keep my eye on the nations involved and try and figure out the full extent before i go steaming in. I believe that the co-operation with other 10000 Islands nations is very important in progressing and as a region we must be friendly and work as a team. I would let all the active nations know by telegram what is going on but warn them not to let anything out. To progress as a region we must co-operate with eachother.

Finally, if you are asking me whether i would support an attack led by Grub i would support it. Although this point may come under a bit of controversy due to my previous points i have every bit of faith and trust in Grub to do the right thing for this region and other regions / alliances/ nations.

My Job as Senator

QUESTION= How would you describe your job as Senator?

My job as senator would be as described i the recently released constitution:

-- The Senate shall comprise of four members.
-- The Senate shall have the Legislative authority of The 10000 Islands.
-- The Senate shall have the powers to approve statutes for better governance of The 10000 Islands.
-- The Senate shall have the power to ratify treaties, approve ambassadors, advise the UN Delegate concerning UN issues, appoint subordinate tribunals to act as courts within the 10000 Islands and hold tribunals on appeal of judgment and violation of the constitution and statutes.
-- The Senate shall function as the Supreme Court of the 10000 Islands.
-- No action of the Senate shall have the authority to intervene with or override decisions of the Chief Executive.

I assure people that my job as Senator shall go no further than what is written in the constitution and (if elected) i shall do my best to co-operate with people and be as fair as possible to ensure the safety of this region.

Sorry it had to end like this buddy......
He was cut short by the UN......

The ocean breezes upon our beaches,
We shall not forget thee,
and though we may not see through,
the mists that take thee to thy rest,
we shall remember thy zest and zeal,
and we hope those wounds of time will
soon be healed...
