Poll: I don't have netflix! :D But I swear I do have a computer of sorts. I actually still own and borrow DVDs, and lend DVDs to friends and neighbours.
On WAD elections:
6 month terms or longer seem much more fitting for the region. 3 months are awfully short in NationStates time, especially for humans who work/study/take care of children/volunteer etc. and have other entertainment interests beyond this online game - which is much more desirable than the phenomenon you sometimes come across of one trick ponies, whose free time appears to revolve around NationStates. A 6 month term provides enough time for the endorsement shuffle necessary to get an elected nation effectively into place. 6 months would allow a person to read and get somewhat familiar with the mechanisms and tropes, while hopefully remaining above the WA bickering, lying, sycophancy and chest thumping. Negative for Philosophy 115 would be a delegate who gets easily roped into shady crap because they think they have to produce 'achievements' and 'pull their weight' interregionally before their short term is over. Negative for Philosophy 115, I believe, would be any delegate anxious to 'make an impact' within a short time frame. They'd be much more susceptible to fall for ploys from manipulators. These, sadly, abound in the WA arena. Positive for Philosophy 115 would be a delegate who doesn't need to scratch backs, because they have no interest in having their back scratched. Positive for Philosophy 115 would be a delegate with at least 6 months term and no external or internal pressure, except an expectation to sort-of-regularly vote.
Candidates could make it part of their platform how they would decide their votes. 1. Conscience. Easiest: WAD votes according to their own conscience. Optional: They post about how they have voted, and why. 2. Referendum. More complicated: WAD regularly posts new resolutions and takes directions from majority of WA members by means of polls etc. Which is a lot of effort, and in other regions you can see that responses are not always abundant. You can see that often, members are much more interested in using the RMB for other conversation subjects than the latest WA-whatever. 3. Conscience plus soliciting input. Compromise: WAD posts on RMB 'At present I'm voting for/against X, but am open to change, please post your opinions/arguments.' Drawback of last option: Delegate has to log in again within a short time frame to read input and possibly change their vote. All variants have advantages and drawbacks. Candidates should state which variant they can realistically deliver, or whether it's going to be a mix.
Active suffrage in election: Nations with WA membership in Philosophy 115. No exceptions. Otherwise, I could make 10 more puppets and get 11 votes. Must have maintained continual WA membership in Philosophy 115 for 30 days (or more?) at start of election.
Passive suffrage in election: Nations with continual WA membership in Philosophy 115 maintained for a minimum of 1 year at start of election. Makes sure that candidates are already a bit familiar with the site rules (prevents embarrassment), the jargon, the administrative mechanisms, the types of resolutions, the region and its members. Shows a commitment to the region. Keeps away showy busybodies with short attention spans.
Why on earth do I have all sorts of opinions on WA elections, if I have such a low opinion of WA interaction? I like the region Philosophy 115, and would like it to enact safeguards, so that people can have fun with democratic elections while keeping out a few of the most unpleasant NationStates phenomena.

Hi guys, I'm just on here to ask for some advice.
I have a really bad issue with employment in my country (I have an employment rate of less than 50%!!!). Are there any specific things I can do to try and help with this issue?
Thanks guys :)
If employement is a goal, look for issues which nationalises the state economy and left wing policies. I have had high 90 per cent employment rates with policies which were focused on say the category of so called socialism or how this game classified it. The bonus with that is that it has no effect on the enviorment which some policies do such as mining which increases economic growth but destroys enviormental beauty.
Speaking as a capitalistic nation...
It seems that your government controls more than half of the economy. An increased federal responsibility means less responsibility to the individual. If your nation is involved in a lot of welfare systems (which is only what I have guessed from viewing your nation's information), some of your citizens may not feel as motivated to change their ways, since the government gives them money without really doing anything.
In terms of the game, however, slashing welfare doesn't appear to lead to higher employment. Your economy is quite good overall, but your employment rate is only 75%. I haven't looked into it that carefully, but the game mechanics appear to favor heavy government involvement in business.
There appears to be little in the way of any meaningful or significant correlation of state welfare to employmenet in the sense of a negative correlation - one goes up, the other goes down or vice versa. I suppose if welfare was 100 per cent contingent on unemployment then absolutely, we would - most definitely - see that. That seems, to me, a very tough and outrageous manner to form a welfare system. Even most capitalists would agree, even the the most committed to that ideological system. That said, I am sure some unthinking, amalgamated capitalist-eugenicists may "think" otherwise.
Greetings. Room for one more?
I believe so good fellow
its been a while crocodile
