Vote Jay — Peace in the South (TSP Delegate, January 2021)
On a serious note, though, allow me to explain my platform.
LEADERSHIP
---
---— I served as the Minister of Regional Affairs and later for Foreign Affairs
---
---— I have the experience to lead the South Pacific to brighter horizons
---
In the following term, I successfully campaigned to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs. While serving in that position, I expanded the South Pacific's representation abroad by sending ambassadors to additional regions. What's more, I worked with my defender counterparts to negotiate closer regional relationships with them. While returning to college interrupted my ability to serve as the MoFA for another term, I believe I have the time and energy to serve as the delegate.
Now, I am asking all South Pacific citizens to consider my leadership as the next delegate. This consideration comes with knowing what I have been able to accomplish in the past. I have been a citizen of the South Pacific for nearly seven years, witnessing the tides shift back and forth from delegate to delegate. And now, I am asking for your permission to follow in the footsteps of so many delegates past.
ENDORSEMENTS
---
---— There is a 99.9% chance I am currently endorsing you if you are a World Assembly member
---
---— It is only a matter of time before we surpass the North Pacific in endorsements
---
However, I want to help more nations in the South Pacific meet or even surpass my status as one of the region's premier endotarters. This objective begins with you, the person reading this message. As the delegate, I will aim to hold Endorsement Days periodically throughout my term. In doing so, I want to make sure that as many nations as possible are endorsing as many other nations as possible. Since 2012, the North Pacific has proven to be a beast of an endorsement machine, and we are close to snatching that torch from them. Now is our chance to take the leaderboard from the North!
WORLD ASSEMBLY
---
---— I will work with the OWL and Cabinet to vote in the interest of the South Pacific
---
---— Our regional influence in the World Assembly is growing, and the future is on our side
---
I will use my delegacy to promote greater democracy in the delegate's vote, which could make or break World Assembly proposals. For this reason, I support the eventual establishment of a Cabinet ministry in which its portfolio is the World Assembly. We need a full-fledged ministry that can oversee our internal votes, mentor those who wish to author resolutions, and perhaps even collaborate with sister ministries in other regions. I believe we can have such a ministry this year.
Even while we are democratizing our World Assembly process, our regional influence in this institution is developing and making our leadership even more consequential. All signs show that the South Pacific will eventually lead a bloc in the World Assembly, something we will be proud of when that day comes. Some in other regions may be uncomfortable with this, but we don't make decisions based on others' comfort. We will make a decision that is best for us.
SECURITY
---
---— The South Pacific will continue to be one of the safest regions in NationStates
---
---— We can count on each other's endorsements to protect the South Pacific from all threats
---
As the delegate, my role in keeping our region safe is to ensure that the Council on Regional Security and I maintain a sizable and robust endorsement cap and keep non-CRS members at or below the cap. Together, we will reasonably enforce the cap while also making sure that those who seek to undermine the Coalition of the South Pacific are swiftly ejected and banned. We will not tolerate any group that tries to subvert our democracy and freedom as enshrined in our Charter. My promise is to protect and defend our regional sovereignty from any such subversion.
COMMUNITY
---
---— We will bridge the divide within our shared regional community that is the South Pacific
---
---— Contrary to unpopular belief, we live in one Pacific, which is the South Pacific
---
During this campaign, I hope to find and win the support of those who share the view that we are the South Pacific. I firmly believe there are more in this region who share this sentiment than those who do not. Together, we shall reject the notion of a disjointed community. For those of us who believe in this message, we will put the unity back in community.
PAX AUSTRALIS
---
---— I will proclaim the fifth year of peace in the South Pacific
---
---— During this peace, the South Pacific has become an emerging superpower
---
The South Pacific is the only Pacific to make its plan clear that it is a defender and stands with other defenders in NationStates. Being the single feeder to hold this military philosophy makes our region a natural superpower in this regard. Even more, we live in an era of cooperation and rapprochement with our fellow Game-Created Regions, having begun recently thawing relations with the New Pacific Order and Osiris. We live in the dawn of a new era in our region that shall be known as Pax Australis. Long may there be peace in the South Pacific.
CONCLUSION
---
My fundamental promise to you, the people of the South Pacific, is the safety and security that five delegates past have guaranteed you. Our region's darkest days are in the past, and greener pastures await us in the months and years to come. The peace and stability that we have developed over the past five years is a testament to our regional strength and fortitude. We are the South Pacific, we are at peace, and we are stronger than ever.
Please vote Jay (aka Qvait) for Delegate of the South Pacific.
