Portugal Is Great[incumbent]
Vote Portugal Is Great
On top of this information, which many of you have already learned, I have served in this position for almost this entire year. I, along with our diplomats and cabinet, have worked to improve our diplomatic relations with regions like The United Ascendancy, The East Pacific, 21st Century Rome, phoenix partners, and many other regions. I wish to continue furthering our friendship with these regions and helping The Labyrinth become known in the NS Community.
During this next term, no matter how brief it is, I plan to not only improve relations with the regions we currently have embassies with, but work to form ties with regions we may not have embassies with, or may not be able to form embassies with. Part of this plan is to send and receive diplomats to and from regions we haven't worked with much, if at all. I would like to work on sharing culture, RP advice and ideas, collaborating regional events, and seeing that we make it to 2021 with more friends than ever before. I will also again encourage anyone interested in Foreign Affairs to join and actively participate in our Regional Ambassador Program. This is a program that I worked on beginning in February and launched shortly after April. To sum it up, once you become a regional ambassador, you are assigned to several different regions and discords, and your job is to help coordinate everything from events to simple conversation. It helps keep our relations fresh and active, and our region closer to our friends.
One thing that has come to my attention, and has concerned me quite a bit, is my opposition. I am currently aware that A Memer, Ugosal, and Peepeepoopoocaca are all running for the position of SecFA (Secretary of Foreign Affairs). Normally I wouldn't be concerned, and would welcome opposition, as it makes for a healthy democracy. However, in this case, I feel as though some (not all) of my fellow candidates are not qualified for this position, and I am extremely concerned that it will result in the degradation in relations of many of our embassies. While I cannot write off everyone's ideas, remember that none of my fellow candidates have any experience in foreign affairs whatsoever, and that will come into play when it comes to many of their ideas potentially being implemented. I can say for certain that many of the things they are promising will not come to fruition, having been on NS for almost 5 years, and having been in foreign affairs longer than any of my fellow candidates have been on the site. That being said, don't write them off yet. Listen to everything they have to say, and really look into the things these people are offering. The fate of our foreign relations and the work put into them lay in your hands.
I encourage everyone to ask questions, in fact I want you to ask me questions. There is so much more I would like to talk about that I don't want to include in my campaign. Remember to vote wisely in the following election by voting for me, and Ashtie, Swift.
A second thing I want to add would be a new inter regional alliance known as ‘The Regional Superleague’. Our embassies will have the option to join or not join this super league, but those that do will receive numerous perks. For one, their members will be allowed to role play and chat with other nations of the Regional Superleague (more on that later). Secondly, it would be great if from time to time, maybe once very other week, a massive Regional Superleague summit would be held for representatives of our embassies to discuss plans for the future, events, communication, and so on. Regions that are a part of the super league must send at least one ambassador to our main discord, and agree to have superleague summits and support events, even though they’re not obligated to participate in all or even any of them. This super league will be to create a bond between our embassies and truly create a sense of unity and communication rather than just having that region in our embassy list below the WFE and nothing else.
3: I’ll put an emphasis on discord and the labyrinth roleplay region. I loved the idea of a 21FCR-Labyrinth discord server, and it’s proven to be a success so I want to expand it a little bit. Regions of the Regional Superleague will be eligible to also join the discord server, and I know that some active regions like Bluecrown Keep, phoenix partners, and The Glorious Nations of Iwaku will present some great ideas for events and general conversation. Second of all, I’ve for a long time adored the idea of having the Roleplay Region, but we haven’t done anything with it so far really (pls space wars). But an idea I had was to invite some of our special embassy nations to the role play region to role play together or just have lively conversations just like in discord. Our inter regional summits could also take place here, so that would be great. Also, I’ll continue to promote Inter regional stock market as a place to discuss the inter regional stock market and feel free to create your own discord servers or ns regions about events and projects like these. For a long time we haven’t really engaged or even bothered to care about other regions’ rolepkay, but with the role play region, we could start something truly special.
4: Events. I, even though I won’t participate in many events due to not having games and stuff, will greatly reward those who create and join events. They’re very fun and create bonds between us and the embassies’ nations. I also have lots of ideas for events which I believe you guys might greatly enjoy: Drawing Competitions, Quizzes, Hoi4, Minecraft, Roblox, Fall Guys, Among Us, Meme Reviews, and many more. My goal will be to have at least one event a month, though having more is certainly allowed. On top of that, I’ve noticed this from other regions, and even though it’s relatively small, it helps to promote our region massively. We can send messages across our embassies to promote our polls. Regions like Zentari have done this admirably, and I feel that if the labyrinth does the same, we might draw some attention. The same thing will go for NS specific events as well, such as the World Cup, Stock Market, etc. Some good regions to go and promote your stuff include The Twitter, The Embassy, The NewsStand, and The Bar on the corner of every region. Have a good product or idea and you’ll have a blast with what you can do. Lastly, this goes along with the Regional Superleague. I want to dedicate a specific day of the month, or maybe slightly less frequent than that, as a day in which nations will be allowed to explore others and for one day only, maybe even be integrated into some fun non-canon RP. I think it will be fun exploring other regions and what they have to offer, and I think we, the Labyrinth, could have some fun events planned for those that visit us on that day. I’ll have to talk with the monarchy and inter regional leaders about further details, but so far, I think you guys will enjoy it.

Hammer Britannia
Let us Hammer Down our culture!
Who is this Hammer?
My Fellow Labyrinthians, I am Hammer Britannia. I joined this beautiful region back in 2016, making me one of the eldest candidates running behind only Ashtie and Portugal is Great. Like many of the elders of this region, I have seen many nations come and go, and I see you all as the newest generation of men and woman to join the Labyrinthian ranks. This is good! I am happy to see this region active again. However, as one of the older members of this region, I somberly say that the ideas some among you are bringing our counterdictory with the region's values and culture. That is why I, Hammer Britannia, am running for Secreatary of Cultural Affairs.
My Governmental Experience
For intermediate periods, I was several positions in government, including WA Delegate. I did my job fairly and most remember my reigns as being important. From 1 July 2019 - 1 January 2020 I was WA Delegate, and while the region wasn't active at the time, I defended it against a potential coup that would have destabilized the region. Twice in 3 February 2017 - 1 July 2017 and 1 January 2019 - 1 July 2019 I was secretary foreign affairs and created embassies with many regions we are still good friends with to this day. Last but not least, I was already Secretary of Cultural Affairs between 1 January 2020 - 5 May 2020. Only a small handful of people have held as many positions as I have, and they are just as qualified as I am if not more so.
Why am I the right choice?
I personally have been involved in RPs both onsite and off-site since 2018 and have since gained major experience in how an RP should be run. These include super-serious RPs where people have been banned for being inactive to silly little RPs where memes are everywhere. Regardless, I believe that these experiences have made me extremely skilled in the art of Roleplaying. Along with this, me being in the region since 2016 has allowed me to learn much more about Labyrinthian culture than most. That is why I feel I am the most qualified for the job.
If I get elected
If I get elected, I will make it my priority to reform many aspects of the RP including training and I will make the rules far more clear to expect what the RP is like. This does not mean another reset, the RP will continue as normal. Along with RP changes, I will make it my personal goal to revitalize the Labyrinthian Culture through history lessons, polls, and much much more. This is why I ask you to vote for me for Secretary of Cultural Affairs.
Vote for these guys too
Portugal Is Great - Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Swiftlandian Peoples Republic - Vice Delegate
Ashtie - Secretary of Internal Affairs - WITHDRAWN
I endorse the following candidates for their respective positions.
Final Notes
Even if my campaign hasn't convinced you, I do hope that you will at the very least consider what I have said. Regardless, I hope that you will vote in this upcoming election and you at the very least consider me as a possible candidate. Thank you and have a great day!
Secretary of Internal Affairs

Con Ins Lallakerscak
Back in September, I ran for Secretary of internal affairs for the second time. I won with over 48% of the vote. At that moment when I first looked at the results, I was the happiest person in the labyrinth. I have now been IA for 2 months and can now proudly say that I am experienced. On my first day of being IA a did make a few mistakes, but I learned from them and how to avoid it happening again. Over the past 2 months, I have learned a lot from my fellow cabinet members and still have much more to learn. I would like to thank them all. My time in the cabinet has been the best 2 months I have had so far in nationstates. I would like to tell you all that I am re-running for Secretary of Internal Affairs.
I will (try) to do bi-weekly polls on how you think I am doing as SOIA and if you think I'm doing bad you can tell me what I'm doing wrong in either disord or the RMB (probably discord) and I will try to improve what I can.
In terms of arguments, I will completely listen to both sides and fairly give my judgment as well as help anyone new that needs help understanding the rules
And Finally, I will stop the duck help the people and The Labyrinth in the best way I can.
There will be more to come of my implements If you vote me as SOIA
Plus you get an oreo. So can it be that bad?
Long Live The Labyrinth

What I will do (if I win): (with approval) The *Official Labyrinth flag redesign contest*( can also vote to keep it the same). 2 meme contests a week [one themed and one general].
Thank you. Even if you don't agree with my policies, vote for someone. Representation is good.
Note: The current Labyrinth would still be official flag. It would just be a show of what other ideas people associate to the region. If there is offense still taken, I will take back the event or just have it be a cookie as the reward or something.
