To the Good Nations of the Confederation:

I believe that this region is in major need of reform. This region has been long plagued by inactivity, both in the RMB and in the Leadership. The number of nations has been increasingly falling and is only on the decline. The embassies are on an all-time low, and there has been no action to rectify it. The senate is a boost from the previous form of government, but has no initiative, and also has fallen by the wayside of inactivity. The mandatory reports have stopped for the past month, and there has been no action from the Imperial Offices. The President has not put forward any bills, and the cabinet is inactive. The treasurer has never made a report. The Minister of war has conflicting powers depending on who you ask, and the previous minister was flat out wrong in his administration. The Minister of Arts and Communication has done a great job, but also has not continued with the power he started with. The VP has never been active with his duties and has not even been on NS for 15 days. The Minister of Home Affairs has done nothing since his appointment and has kept to himself. The Commission to the WA has not done much except creating data dumps, with the last address weeks ago. The Emperor has not been active himself, with the last action of importance appointing the Minister of Home Affairs. Our Heros of the Confederation, are inactive, traitors, or dead. Our colonies like Vangmar, and Chrome Company, are refounded since the founder CTEd because of inactivity. Our allies are gone, our leadership is inactive, and our region is close to dead.

But. We can fix these problems. Through reorganization, hard work, and determination, we can fix these problems. The AWF is right, we have been corrupted, and we need to change. But their mistake was leaving. The Confederation does not need to be abandoned, it needs to be reformed. Merging, concerted effort to recruit, or just spreading the word would help rebuild the region. Our Senate needs to be full of active, participating, and loyal members. The Cabinet needs to shape up or be replaced. The Supreme Council are good people, but they need to work more on this region or step aside like Khanbaliq Mongolia. The normal members need to step up and uphold CCD virtues, and stop the inactivity the has taken ahold of the Confederation. I urge all of you to help us build a better tomorrow, and fix what is wrong with the region we love so much.

Slight disclaimer: This is not a criticism of any of the aforementioned people, merely a guide the help us all grow, I know that my administration was not perfect, and I am sorry, but the fact remains that we all need to change, and grow. I trust in the SC, but I still believe that they need to be more active in the administration of this region. The Emperor (OOC of course) needs to be more active, and guide his region that he made. He should not a man who glories over what he has done in his high tower, he needs to be a king who governs his people, and helps them build this region.

Hail the Confederation!

I have to agree with Alexander the magnusActivity is at an all time low and we are not unified at all. Our government has failed to step up aside from the Director of Communications, and we have no economy. . All of his points are correct. The CCD is at risk of dying. I hope you consider these points in our next election.
Hail the Confederation!

No one is saying that you have not done a great deal for the Confederation, I am simply saying that you have not been doing the same amount of progress as before, and the debates are not part of your office. Especially since you moded one before your office. This is what I proposed before, and was dismissed out of hand. I believe that it is a crucial step, but I believe that people will not attempt it.Thank you for agreeing, but this is a problem, we need to set aside the election, and work together to fix this problem, both you and Yeetusa are using this, or seeing this as part of the campaign, but that is irrelevant, if not a detriment. I do feel that as a jab, and it is incorrect, the congress has completed many terms, but also I would like to point out that this term has been more filled with inactivity, and cutting off ties. I believe that GIU can fix this, but pointing out that my term had flaws in order to boost a campaign is hypocritical, and conceited.

In the near future, I will gather my problems with the CCD as it is, and post it as a document. If anyone wishes to add anything that I have not brought up, TG me.

Hail the Confederation!

I understand that. But that can only happen if a new government is in power that is active. I would also like to point out aside from that, that I understand OOC lives take more precedence, but there needs to be communication that says you won’t be active so we can find an interim, and if it takes a long time, a replacement. It’s unfair people are hogging up positions and not be active.
Also to Magnerberg, them being in power for a full term is not the point. The point is that the current president and cabinet has failed to create a economic base, and top cabinet members have failed to be active. I applaud [nation]HMS NHS [\nation] for being very active, more active than the president. The Imperial Council Is none of our business to comment on.

Regarding your point I would say previous governments have been unstable and thwarted
While the RAP has shown stability but I do understand the worry of a lackluster senate.

To the Confederation,

It is very easy to make grand, sweeping statements that take perhaps thirty minutes to conceive.

It is another thing to administrate a region for nearly five years that, in its recent history, has enjoyed a reputation as one of NationStates' biggest UCRs. Which is 420,480 lots of thirty minutes, for those wondering.

And such statements from a nation that, when its citizen was elected by the region to serve in government, profoundly damaged the Confederation's inter-regional relations and had to be tried for negligence and incompetence? How unbelievable. Alexander the magnus: an impassioned idealist? Maybe. But an efficient, confidently-literate reformist? Certainly not.

This Confederation has never, and will never, tolerate agitators.

Because the concerns shared by the nation in question have been illuminated in an extremely petulant fashion and without respect for the system, which this same nation would have us believe it so adores, the Shadow Cult nor its Imperial Council will not respond other than to say the following:

In accordance with Direktorate Order 1, hebdomadal reports continue to be submitted to the Shadow Cult by each councillor of the Imperial Council. Their publication is entirely dependent upon the Shadow Emperor's pleasure.

If any nation wishes to see increased recruiting efforts for the region, they are invited to donate telegram stamps to Confederation state broadcasting.

Nations should not confuse a lack of petty drama for inactivity.

Those that speak so flippantly of "growth" and "change" should also remember that Jocospor is now effectively five years older than it was when it founded the Confederation. Deeply national preoccupations tend to arise over such a period.

The resignation of nations such as Regna Loreau and Khanbaliq Mongolia from the Imperial Council were in no way related to their activities, but to deeply national preoccupations.

If any nation is unsatisfied with the operations of the Imperial Senate, they are invited to openly participate within it via the appropriate channels. Since Alexander the magnus was found guilty during Inquisitional Hearing #33030520, its citizens are unable to return to any government position while that guilty verdict stands.

Any nation that sympathises with Azure Watester Federation is cordially invited to leave the region. The Confederation is sick and tired of having to react to incidents, accusations and mentions involving that region. The AWF should not be idolised. If AWF continues hold opinions concerning the Confederation, it is the Shadow Cult's recommendation that AWF instead turn its attention to itself, because it is egregiously harming its member states in ways this Confederation never has.

A statement of criticism should never be followed by any iteration of the phrase, "By the way, this is not a criticism."

And those that would dare to attack their Emperor, the Shadow Cult and before it the Imperial Empire: how absolutely ungrateful and naive you are.

You do not know what goes on behind the scenes.

You will never understand the costs, the challenges.

You shame this Confederation.

The proud nation of Jocospor will always look back to its past and reminisce on its contributions to NationStates - contributions that, for better or worse, few have ever made. Because few are as dedicated to hard work, culture, diversity and government as Jocospor.

In finding the actions and behaviours of Alexander the magnus to be not only traitorous and seditious but deeply insulting to the highest offices of this Confederation, the Shadow Cult immediately authorises the Office of the Mouth and Will of the Emperor under Depackya to begin the necessary criminal proceedings. This statement shall be entered as the only admissible evidence representing both the Shadow Cult and its Imperial Council.

Hail the Confederation!

OOC: Not much to say, except British English is different than American English. Half of the spelling mistakes you (rather rudely) corrected weren't actually mistakes at all. Even I know that, and I'm American also.

Alexander, you can learn from your mistakes. You want reform but offered nothing on how to reform. All you did was insult the system, where most of your insults were wrong. As I explained, and I definitely need to explain again, the Imperial Council is active. What you cannot see does not mean they are inactive. They protect this region and do the best for it. As the Emperor said himself, 'you do not know what goes on behind the scenes'.

This section;

I do not speak for the Emperor but he has always ruled over us. That doesn't require presence on the RMB. The Emperor himself stated of 'deep national preoccupations'. We as a region have to respect that.

Your phrase 'Besides, the IC is not very active, period.' is just wrong, as explained many times now.
Your phrase 'Change is easy' is also wrong. Change takes time, and that makes it challenging. It took me weeks to write the legislation necessary to reform my Department. That was not easy. Change is only resisted when the changes are bad. The Imperial Senate welcomes any motions for change.

OOC: 'RL and leadership need to be balanced'- Why do they? Real-life needs to take charge of leadership in a game because that is what this all is. A game. A great game. You cannot criticize people based on things that you do not know about.

IC:
'They saw that they could not do a good job governing, so they stepped down'- it is in your opinion that the Imperial Council are not doing a good job. That opinion can be wrong. The Imperial Council has done the best they can since their creation. But if IRL things get in the way of that, that doesn't mean they are bad at administrating.

What corruption plagues our region?

I don't believe there is anything wrong with how the Cabinet and Council run the region. Sure, Cabinet positions could be more active, but that doesn't make them bad.

As for the crimes you have committed, this obviously isn't my decision. But from what I can see, you have broken most Level 3 Crimes. Namely: II, III, V, and VI.

You can call for reform, but you need to do it in a way that doesn't seem like you are insulting the members of our government.

Thank You

Hail the Confederation!

While the other charges may be true, i don't see where he colluded with the Azure Watester Federation. Is there evidence of this?

Hail the Confederation (right i forgot sorry)

1. Please Hail the Confederation at the end of your post.

2. Likely because he sounds like a member of the AWF, and explicitly agreed with their criticisms of the Confederation.

Hail the Confederation

Just because he "sounds like a member of the AWF" is not solid proof of collusion.
