Hello again! This is the second update on my top-secret spy mission in The Leftist Assembly. As envoy, I've built a list of notable goings-on, grouped into four neat categories. It contains everything from memes to legal proceedings to murderous spacemen.

You'll also have a article by the Infamous Whole India which played a key role in the downvote process. Please note this isn't a Official statement and have a nice read.

The Politics of the Day: The Next NS Superpower
Part 2 of 2: Creating a sphere of influence

Written by Whole india

Introduction:-
In the last volume, we saw a few regions which are considered as the next superpower and we saw their possibilities. Today we will see the Blocs of these regions means their sphere of influence and ranks. The Spheres of Influence also contribute a lot in making of regions. As few get the blessings while few lead the path. The larger the sphere the better, but a sphere without a leader is also not at the best position.

Spheres of Influence [In Short]:-

1. World Assembly Legislative League [WALL]
WALL isn’t a military alliance, however, it is a type of alliance, and like its name suggests it is more indulged in the World Assembly’s Affairs. WALL is unofficially led by the North Pacific and is indeed their Sphere of Influence. Balder, Europeia, Europe, and the International Democratic Union [IDU] are a part of it.

2. The Consortium
The Consortium is a multi-lateral all aspect alliance. However, with the fall of TEP, it may be tedious to progress, but TEP is still leading this as their sphere of influence. The alliance’s foundation date is yet to be declared. Such slow progress in the alliance naturally makes an individual hinder the alliance. The East Pacific, The Free Nations Region, The Kingdom of Great Britain, The Glorious Nations of Iwaku, Force, Thaecia, Eientei Gensokyo are the members of the Consortium.

3. NSLeft
NSLeft is a leftist alliance led by the Communist Bloc. This region is a type of Comintern. This region’s aim is to promote Leftism in NS. The Communist Bloc, The Leftist Assembly, North Korea, Anarchy, Social Liberal Union, Mariner Trench. The Antifa also has an embassy with NSLeft.

3. Antifa
Antifa is another Sphere of Influence lead by the Communist Bloc, but this region only concentrates on Military warfare against Fascist regions. All Liberated and refounded former fascist regions have embassies with Antifa. Freedom and Justice Alliance, In the Flesh, Mariner Trench, North Korea, The Free Nations Region, The Internationale, The Kingdom of Great Britain, Wintercrest are members of Antifa.

4. United Regions Alliance [URA]
URA is also known as “United Regions Alliance”. It is led by the Conch Kingdom, though it’s a multilateral Alliance. 32 regions are part of it. Making it once of the biggest alliances in NS.

5. Assembly of Regions [AOR]
AOR which was once equivalent to URA is now on collapse as many regions are leaving it. It was founded by Dierexa or Wolf of Moonlight Battle Born and later the creator himself had left the union.

Ranks for the next potential superpower/s:-

1]The South Pacific [TSP] or The Rejected Releams [TRR]

2] Europeia or 10000 islands

3] The Pacific

4] The Communist Bloc

5] Forest or Europe

6] The East Pacific [TEP]

7] The West Pacific [TWP]
[sub] This isn't a official statement of the region of India

November Elections: Incumbents Again!

Written by Indusse

November saw the tri-monthly World Assembly Delegate Elections and Parliamentary speaker elections been conducted. The results of both the elections weren't unexpected says various nations and participants of the elections. The Speaker Elections saw incumbent Madhyarashtra been elected with a supreme majority as the speaker. Madhyarashtra was challenged by Indigrad and Rajput Great who are also fellow citizens to the post of speaker. The opposing candidates could only secure a single vote for them in the elections.

The elections for the biggest post, World Assembly Delegate was won by the incumbent Indusse with a clear majority and permanent votes from the Endorsees. The World Assembly Delegate candidates were Rajpore; who was a long time member of the region, Gadhavi; New but active member of the region and Indusse; the present delegate who had already been elected in the past to the office for five hundred and five days. The elections also saw the new nation, Gadhavi reaching second surpassing the old Rajpore. It was noted that only two nations shifted the endorsement towards Gadhavi and none shifted towards Rajpore. Indusse was unanimously elected and the new cabinet was appointed.

Have a taste of the Banhammer : Look out for them!
Please look out for these nations

Written by Indusse

It has been a while since bans and ejections left India. Bans and ejections were a frequent ceremony and was part of Indian Activity in the past terms. Ejections and Banishment were extensively practiced in the reign of Hindu Puri. Over a dozen of nations were ejected each month for trolling and spamming the RMB, this time it's something different. The latest banishment was of 'Mother China' , like the name suggests a Chinese themed nation who trolled,spammed and provoked fellow nations by talking against India and it's diverse citizens. Upon the request of the fellow nations the spammer was banejected from the region on thirtieth of November.

The Second and the most important one was the banejection of Rajpore, a well known member of the region and two time WAD candidate. The reason of the ban on Rajpore was the sudden, unexpected raid on the discord server of AoR Roleplay or former Assembly of Regions Roleplay. The discord server had more than 15 channels with vivid resources and information and over 80 members. The raiders who were more than 3, destroyed the server completely kicking majority of the server members and deleting all the channels. The raiders finally created two channels and mass pinged everyone in the server till someone banned one of the leaders who is said to be Rajpore from the server. The New AoR RP server is been set up with the help of Aav (Heartfelden Founder and Roleplayer in the server) and is currently closed to development. Some of the members of the roleplay server have stated Rajpore can be innocent and he will not be able to do this, still some proofs go against him and is currently teaching the conclusion that he is the Impostor (Raider). Various servers in which he was part of banejected him. It has been found he has Alternate accounts namely Rajpore and a one with the PF of Indonesian president Jokowidodo. The Username of the raider was 'Thanos,but destroys AoR#9317'. Please look out for these IDs and nations.

Supreme Court of India: November
Whole India v Government of India

Written by Indusse

In the month of November, The Supreme Court adjourned for the hearing of the case presented by Whole India. The Case was a Appeal against the Administrative ban levied on Whole India long back. Whole India was subjected to a ban on taking any Admin position in India till April 2021. Whole India went to the supreme court and appealed against the Government of India. The Court adjourned and a stance was said within two days. The supreme court removed all the bans from Whole India and he's now free to be part of administration. The Judges Bench consisting of Hindu Ram Rajya,Gujarat Parma and Devraj saidAfter hearing the arguments made by Lawyer of Whole India and Indusse, we have come to a verdict.
Our first point is, the main allegation on which Whole India was banned is the allegation of that he was a Black Hawk agent which has been shown as false as testified.
Secondly, criticising the government is okay, but should be done so in a appropriate and constructive manner(constructive criticism).
Thirdly, the tenure of a punishment of a mistake which he didn't commit is long enough. He has served nearly double of his sentence.
So we judges, hereby acquit Whole India of all charges, and his ban will be lifted on 1st of December 2020, effectively.

Flohovistan wrote:You may view these things differently, but I view NS embassies as treasures, a sign of how influential and known you are. I personally believe people shouldn't get rid of embassies, but what's one vote against nine? I will vote against it nonetheless.

Respect your view but it is not the prevailing one amongst larger regions. More condensed lists of embassies generally signify that the region is discerning about who it establishes an embassy with - and suggests that they are more likely to make a sincere effort to build and maintain strong relationships with those they do hold embassies with. Closing an embassy with an inactive region means that the region can refocus its foreign affairs on the regions who reciprocate our efforts and/or gives us additional capacity to open new embassies with regions that might benefit us socially and politically.

Heya folks.

By popular request, the World Assembly Development Program for cards is back up and running for December, check it out:
page=dispatch/id=1444682

Edit: Slightly unrelated, but whoever is the first Refugi to make a complete Season 3 Refugia Nations collection will get a free Season 3 Testlandia from me. That's a standing offer, as I will not be making that collection in the coming season.

Just an announcement on the GA vote: Seeing the overwhelming amount of support this proposal has received from Refugi, plus the counterarguments given in the RMB when we discussed it, I've changed my vote to For. My previous against vote was shaky anyway and mostly based on some of Cretox's word choice habits :P

Hey folks, the 2020 Refuge Census is concluded, I've placed the results in a handy and compact dispatch below for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to everyone for helping to fill one out, I got a fantastic 40 responses back from you all!

    The 2020 Refuge Census


    Thanks for everyone who filled out The 2020 Refuge Census. There were way freaking more responses to this that I've ever had before, by far. As a result of that, a lot of services that maybe weren't all that promoted, were entirely unknown to a lot of people. So. that paints a good map of what kind of work I need to do in admin now to get those more visible and accessible.

    Since I've been doing this for a while now, I've also had enough information to look back over several years and see how things have changed over time. Those have been added to the bottom of the post.

    Some other misc conclusions:

      • Most people are new
      • Most people plan on sticking around as far as they know
      • The first person since 2014 said they have kids
      • There's a lot more guys than you'd think. Or at least a lot more guys than I'd think.
      • We are very very slightly less gay than last time - but still incredibly gay.

    And, kind of heart-warmingly, more people self-identified as a Refugi that at any point since I started asking the question (In 2013?)

Census conducted between November 26th, 2020 and December 3rd, 2020. . .

This is wonderful <3 thank you everyone who participated in the census this year.

I have a couple things to point out real quick. First up, we have another embassy proposal coming up in a couple hours once the current poll ends. This one is to open an embassy with Spiritus. Read my advice below, and vote once the poll is up! page=dispatch/id=1471025

Second is a discussion for Repeal: "Protecting Sites of Religious Significance":
Proposal: (page=UN_view_proposal/id=honeydewistania_1606802638)
Thread: (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=494438)

I think this is pretty straightforward. Honeydew addresses all the problems stated in the original thread for Protecting Sites of Religious Significance, including the arguments that we discussed in this RMB. We didn't vote for the original and I'd like to see it repealed due to how absolutely exploitable and full of holes it is.

If anyone has any thoughts about this, the census, or the embassy advice, please let us know ^-^

It would be weird if I didn't support this repeal since I've also written a proposal to replace the original legislation: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=494935

No matter what, GAR#522 functionally classifies every church and the grave of every religious practitioner as something similar to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on how someone's nation is, this could be a substantial percentage of an entire country. I don't agree with everything in the repeal, and I also agree with the premise of the original legislation, but I feel there's a strong enough case to be made for removing 522 and replacing it with something more focused.

Frankly, I wouldn't even need to read the repeal (even though everyone should and it should still have merit on its own, don't get me wrong), because it’s a safe assumption that Luca's version will be much better than the original. :P

But yeah, I can see a haphazard definition for religiously significant sites turning into a mess. Full support of the repeal.
