Union of DemocratsBoard

Platform: The Homeland League, seeing it as our duty to protect the rights and powers of the regions composing the AOR, advocate just that, regional sovereignty. In times in the recent past, the AOR, established as an alliance, not a union, had been gradually expanding its authority over the sovereign governments of its unique and independent member regions. We oppose this, especially the course on which this is merely the first step. That course leads to Federalism, which we fear will warp the AOR from a good, and just association of free regions, based on mutual respect and friendship, into a corrosive and tyrannical superstate which will sign into law the destruction of the identities of tens of unique regions. Thus, the center point of our platform is the prevention of any federalization of the AOR, and the containment of its power over member regions to those absolutely necessary to maintain cooperation and order among member regions, and to foster friendship between said regions. In regards to non-AOR issues, Homeland League advocates social conservatism, and conservatism in general, believing that traditions, social norms, and culture all lead to a generally happier, more stable society. A society in touch with its roots and soul is a society for the better. We also advocate nationalism among regions and in the real world. The AOR should be a free alliance and association of proud regions who respect one another as well as themselves, and seek cooperation and friendship. This is central to our model. We do not want a tyrannical and destructive federation, or a weak and meaningless council that exists for flavor alone. We seek an alliance of regions, firm in friendship, and grounded in respect for the regions themselves, and their compatriots. Of course, this is very different from the isolationist anarchism of what was once the Regionalist Party, as we seek maintenance of close bonds among member regions, cooperation between the AOR as a whole in military and diplomatic affairs when appropriate, and an AOR government that will work to these ends without trampling on regions' freedoms. Additionally, with the topic of parties fresh off the tongue, we absolutely support the prevention of partisan bickering and party politics rising as a dominating factor in AOR politics. If the dream of a free, prosperous, and coordinated AOR is to be achieved, it must have a functional and symbiotic political machine. In fact, while federalism is our greatest enemy, we view partisan polarism as a far more disgusting opponent. Polarism along partisan lines would be a severe detriment to the AOR as a free association, and it would be even more of a threat in a federation.

In essence, the policies and ideology advocated by the Homeland League are as follows:

Anti-Federalism

Regional Sovereignty

Social Conservatism (and conservatism as a whole)

Nationalism

Friendship initiatives among AOR members

Multi-partisan cooperation to achieve virtuous ends

Responsible and transparent government

Representation and pursuit of the interests of member regions

These are our core tenets. We seek an Assembly that is powerful in its limitations, and remarkable for its responsible governance.

• New Constitution:
  Yes. You heard it right. I want to formulate a new Constitution. We all agree that the current Constitution is an imperfect one. It is not very detailed and has several loopholes. Also it was approved by a very tiny population, a fraction of our current numbers. Now we have active and experienced members. This high time to formulate a new, detailed and comprehensive Constitution for our region.

• Code of Conduct:
  The Code of Conduct will be the official rulebook to be followed by all the nations in the region to maintain discipline. It will also help the Supreme Court in giving verdicts. This is extremely important because currently we do not have any specific guidelines which the nations should follow and this why, the discipline is very poor.

• Joint President and Vice President Ticket:
  This is very important. If the President and Vice President run together on a single ticket, there will be mutual understanding between the two high positions. A separately elected Vice President could pose the danger of non-cooperation with the President. This will result in an extremely inefficient executive.

• New Cabinet Positions:
  Minister of Culture, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Roleplay are three important positions our region needs immediately.

  Minister of Culture: Conducts regional activities and sporting competitions.

  Minister of Internal Affairs: Administers Citizenship, Internal Elections and maintains archives.

  Minister of Roleplay: Administers organised roleplay in the region.

• Revised Foreign Policy:
  Our region has around 90 embassy regions. We don't have any friendship with most of them. Why should we have embassies with such regions then? We don't even know the existence of some of our embassy regions. This is why I and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will conduct an "Embassy Review" in which we will try to establish communications with each an every embassy region. If they do not respond, the embassy will close.

• Founder Authority:
  After the recent events, it has come to my mind that our Founder's position and powers need to be defined. If he is a neutral nation whose only job is to conduct Presidential Elections, then he must not hold any other office (as he is holding now). Also he cannot establish his own rules (as he has done now) without the approval of the legislature.

• Dual Citizenship:
  This is a concept which can be found in several notable regions of NationStates. Here, we will grant full citizenship to those nations who prove it that their WA nations reside in the Assembly of Regions or in other closely allied nations. This will not only boost regional population but also give non WA members, a voice in the region.

• Recruitment Programs:
  This goes without saying. We need more active nations in our region to give it a voice in interregional affairs. For this I and the Ministry of Recruitment will launch a "Stamp Donation Drive". If this fails, there will always be API telegram recruitment going on. I will try to collaborate with Assembly of Regions in the field of recruitment. I will also try my best to merge smaller regions into ourselves. This will boost our population.

I hope I have convinced you to vote for me. I want to bring a Golden Age to our region and I need your help. If you have any questions regarding the manifesto, please telegram me or put it up in the RMB.
