Succession Law

A law proposal drafted earlier this year which was to clarify and streamline the succession of delegacy, has been revitalized recently by the department of the region. Secretary of the Region Kloister will wait for input on the text until friday, after which it will be put up for voting. This law will replace the current martial law that regulates delegate contests to some extent. The discussion on the new law can be found in the forum "for things that go bump in the night"

Sharing intel with the PRP?

In a short memo to the council, Secretary of Intelligence Miss Tessmacher has announced an initiative to share intelligence with the PRP on a permanent basis. Immediately, concerns have been raised over the legitimacy of such an unilateral action by the government. Miss Tessmacher calls on the council-approved agreement with the PRP to justify her initiative, but question remains whether the scope of this agreement is wide enough to include the permanent sharing of intelligence information. The discussion can be found in the council.

SPAA awards have taken off

The Department of the Region has started up the annual rounds of awards for memebrs of this region, the South Pacific Annual Awards, or SPAA for short. They have proposed a large number of categories, but additional suggestions are still welcome. Further, the organization committee (consisting of mainly of Kloister) is looking for nominations in each of the presented categories. Details can be found in the department of the region.

New term, nearly same government

Earlier this week the appeal period to the provisional results of the last elections had ended and the government has continued their tasks. There have been no changes of position, except that former secretary of intelligence Goddessness has been replaced by Miss Tessmacher. None of the positions were contested and with a low voter turn out this has been one of the saddest elections in the history of the region. The only excuse that can be drawn up is that this election period fell in the middle of the traditional summer slump, and hopefully things will pick up in the next round.
