January Arisyan-MG Election Platform [ENDORSED ALLERTANIA-GREAT HIATUS]
WORKING FOR CALLISTANS
Ari and MG are the only candidates fighting for all Callistans, reform, bi-partisanism and a more democratic Callista.
Grassroots Legislation
The current administration has made bills constitutional, which has created a massive increase in the creation of legislation in Callista. The bill amendment also allows citizens to create legislation and propose it to the cabinet. This is why if elected, I will officially create a formal process for citizens to create and propose legislation to the Cabinet. The MODA will be charged with receiving proposed bills, who will then propose the piece of legislation to the cabinet where it will be deliberated and then put up to discussion like normal. This will make it easier for all Callistans to get involved in the democratic process, and truly make our region one of the most democratic in NS.
Independent RPs
Independent RPs are RPs that are run separately from the main RP that is organized by the MORP. RP is one of Callista's greatest strengths, however if we become reliant on one role-play it will eventually become stale and it may not be interesting everyone in the region. This is why we need to diversify our RP scene and allow citizens to organize their own RP separate from the main one so that they can have options and there is no risk of people getting bored. It will still be moderated by RP moderators and the MORP will have final say on disputes, but maps, rules (besides godmodding and flaming), technology, themes etc. may all deviate from the main RP. People engaged in the ind. RP will also have to state which RP they're referring to when making a post, and the number of side RPs occurring simultaneously will be limited to 3 so as to not overwhelm RP moderators. Any law created regarding independent RPs will consult the MORP and the RP community of Callista in order to ensure that it is the best possible fit for the region.
Multilateralism
Callistan politics has become ruthless, toxic, and divided with people voting not based off of policy but identity. We need to go back to the basics and ensure that every single side, every opinion, every policy is considered before legislation is passed and decisions are made. That is why in government, just like in the past 3 months, the PPC will commit to consulting every opinion in the region to prevent a tyranny of the majority from occurring, and to keep politics engaging and constructive. We will achieve this by creating a law that requires the opposition (whoever has been designated as the leader of the largest opposition group in Callista) and any third parties (any group that is represented in Cabinet or with a substantial number of members) in a 24-48 hour period before it is voted upon. Critics may say this will make the bill process too long, but there is no such thing as waiting too long for a more democratic decision. We did this during the Bill Amendment and the Tsar Political Neutrality Amendment, along with countless other government decisions and we will continue to do so in the future.
Embassy Reform
Callista needs to reach out to the world, and that is why we will implement an Ambassador program by the third month of our term if elected. We realize that if we can reach out to larger regions, activity will flourish with new RPers, discussions and friends on our RMB. We will also continue to reach out to regions that are consistent with Callistan values, such as strong RP, regional politics, democratic constitution, mid-large population size, and an active RMB. We believe in creating links with both RP and casual regions to strengthen Callista's ties abroad.
Solving the Activity Crisis
Callista has been plagued by an activity crisis ever since its birth as a region. We need to have recruitment reform, so that every member of the regional cabinet has access to the API to send out recruitment messages and a way to authorize citizens to recruit as well. We will task all Cabinet members, but especially the MODA, with walking new nations through integrating into Callista so that they do not feel overwhelmed. We will also nominate seasoned citizens for both the task of educating new Callistans on how to integrate into the region and seasoned recruiters to educate citizens how to recruit and send recruitment telegrams. We will continue to support opportunities to get involved in regional politics through the CCC, a diverse RP scheme and a calm RMB that is welcoming and accepting.
