DCM ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON BOIS

Hello, I am Culture Minister Emazia. I'm sure I need no introduction, as most of you already know my name. I'm not going to beat around the bush or make flowery statements as I usually do. This is a statement regarding my pick for DCM, and why I believe he is fit for the job. I have taken many factors in the consideration of this, including, but not limited to: possible conflicts of interests, qualifications, activity (which, I'll admit, was a major sticking point for the CM prior), and many more. I have had two very qualified candidates so far, and I will admit that it was a very difficult decision.

First off, I would like to announce that my pick is Actias. The other candidate, who I will not name, was indeed very qualified, but I believe Actias specifically prevails against him for many other reasons, as I will list below, hopefully to justify my choice to you all. First off, being American allows him to be further in sync with the schedules of the average Thaecian, which generally lies between Europe (which I already represent) and the United States, along with a few sporadic groups in Asia. Secondly, he is very active, at least in theory, due to his schedule which tells me that he is fully available 12-16 hours a day, similar to mine, which is no doubt very good for the activity of this department.

Thirdly, he has expressed, in my opinion, initiative, innovation and entrepreneurship, something that I strongly desire in a DCM candidate, rather than the opposite - satisfaction - is indeed an attitude that leads to stagnation. Somewhere, someplace, we can always improve and I am looking for a DCM with the same spirit. Fourthly, based on the qualifications that he has given me, I believe that he is ultimately the most qualified, due to his prior qualifications in regional management, systematic deconstruction and reconstruction, critical thinking in the field, cultural operations and other qualifications which make me feel, through his CV, that he is indeed a truly intelligent and well-suited candidate to this position.

I am aware that brevity is generally not expected of me, but I believe that there is nothing else to say - his qualifications speak for themselves. Although, there is the matter of the conflict of interest, something that me, the Prime Minister and Actias have worked to resolve. As such, we have drawn up transparency guidelines, along with a plan to move forward, to ensure the Federal Post can operate unimpeded and to ensure the continued strength of the freedom of the press in Thaecia, to be found here:

Upon Actias entry into the government as Deputy Culture Minister, we recognise that this will bring about a conflict of interest between an independent newspaper and its leader, who is to join the government.

This agreement is an attempt to make the government of Thaecia and the Federal Post`s relationship and expectations as transparent as possible for the general public to combat bias.

Both parties agree that:
-The Federal Post is to be considered a joint-owned organisation by Actias and the Executive branch of the Thaecian government, with Actias running and maintaining the organisation.

-The Federal Post`s staff are not allowed to serve in a ministerial or deputy ministerial office.

-Articles related to the Thaecian government are to written by staff who have no connection to the Executive branch.

-Articles related to Thaecian Foreign Affairs are not representative of the Thaecian Foreign Affairs Ministry`s stance on the matter in question unless specified otherwise by Foreign Affairs Minister The Bigtopia or Prime Minister Korsinia

-The Thaecian Executive branch will reserve the right to get a section dedicated to public announcement shall it request it through the Federal Post.

-The Federal Post will be entitled to get a category dedicated to it in the Administration server shall it so desire.

-The Federal Post and the Thaecian Executive branch shall be obligated to make this agreement transparent and accessible to the public.

-This agreement will be rendered null and void upon Actias departure from the government or when the term has ended and a general election is hosted.

-Actias is entitled to full authority and ownership of the Federal Post once the agreement has been rendered null and void.

-this agreement is to be considered legally binding for both parties and if either party is found to violate the agreement they may be sued.

-Potential government influence over the Federal Post such as:
Demanding/pressuring to get an article that is not a public announcement,
Demanding/pressuring the organisation to remove an article,
Bribing the organisation,
Threatening the organisation.
Is to be considered a violation of the agreement.

-Potential Federal Post influence over the government such as:
Threatening officials to smear their reputation,
Boosting officials`reputation in exchange for information,
Leaking personal secrets or doxxing officials,
Intentionally faking government-related information or refusal to correct government-related information in an attempt to make the government look bad or good.
Is to be considered a violation of the agreement.

Most times, VP picks are usually picked strategically in an attempt to win a specific state, the one that the VP is from. But California is already strongly blue and was already heading towards Biden. So strategically, it makes no sense.

Then there's the current political climate where most people currently don't like cops. And Kamala's a cop. Over 1,500 marijuana convictions during her time as Attorney General of California, arguing against prison reform in California, and her truancy policies which sent parents to jail. So it's not even really like she can be excused as a "good" cop. It's not hard for anyone to understand that picking a cop as your VP right now is not the way to appeal to the country, especially your democratic base.

And overall, Kamala is not well-liked among the progressive wing of the Democratic party and the country overall. Her pick as Joe's running mate alienates progressive voters, which Joe has difficulties with considering his moderate, even milquetoast positions. A more progressive pick, such as Stacey Abrams or even Elizabeth Warren would have made it way easier to appeal to that wing of the party and the country and would have essentially solidified his lead against Trump.

Kamala only enhances the whole "we're voting for Biden because he's not Trump" viewpoint.

Yeah...

While her record is indeed sketchy, that doesn't mean she's going to do the same things she's done in the past. After all, she does have a reasonably progressive stance today. Regardless, it is the lesser of two evils - compared to the other option we have. I'm sorry that you and the rest of the progressive wing feel alienated about the VP pick - but, I'm sure progressives will triumph in the Senate and House of Representatives - and will do more than that in the future. :giveheart:

Well, there’s our world class RP (contact Islonia), we have our midterms starting next week and you could run in those (contact ME after the telegram noting the start is sent), there’s also the civil service (contact Emazia, The Bigtopia, or The Islamic Country of Honour for that). Other than that, we have the communities on the RMB and Discord, $tonks, and worshipping Korsinia.

Yo yo Thaecia!

I've been wanting to address a big misconception that runs around in our region for quite a while now.

There seems to be this idea among our citizens that when the Executive puts a party in the party overview, citizens are put in the Citizenship Registry, when laws are put in the Law Registry etc means that it is legally recognised.

THIS IS FALSE.
The government of Thaecia has no authority over parties, the constitution clearly states that the government can not intervene in party affairs as long as the party does not violate NS rules.
This means that the government has no legal authority to recognise parties or label parties non-existent etc.

Your party is recognised solely by abiding the constitution that ensures you the right to found and join parties.
How the Electoral Commission includes parties in their policies is not up to the Executive to decide.

Knowing this, the Executive can decide to keep a page dedicated to parties for the sake of convenience of accessing that information.
This does not mean the Executive claims or intends to declare the parties listed as recognised entities.
The member limit requirement that was put in place was done so to save officials countless hours of constantly updating the party overview page(s).

Waivered citizenship is achieved by telegramming the Home Affairs Minister or the Prime Minister with a Thaecian puppet and the WA nation it belongs to.
Once this is done, you are a waivered citizen, the citizenship registry exists for the sake of convenience so that we can access this information.
Only the Justice Ministry has the legal right to strip people of their citizenship, this means that if a Prime Minister or a Home Affairs Minister are denying waivers or stripping people of waivers while the waivered folks fulfil all legal requirements, they're breaking the law and they will need to do more than just delete the waivered citizens from the dispatch.
Otherwise, there's an exploitable loophole for those with the Dep Admin password to exploit.

Ironically, there is no constitutional section or any laws that mention the Law Registry and establishes it as the place where bills become laws.
Once 2/3 of Congress support a bill it is automatically law.
Bills that do not have 2/3 support but are signed into law by the Prime Minister are also laws.

The Law Registry is once again a convenient place to put bills that have become law for easy access.

All this information the Executive is managing has not existed forever, it is mostly a relatively new thing for the region.
When Former Prime Minister Rayekka introduced the Dep Admin it was to have a single hub of information easy to access for anyone who desired access to the information.

Back when Andusre was Prime Minister, the region was too small that creating a website or a Dep Admin was not necessary.
Relatively few things were kept track of such as parties and laws back then.
It was not needed back then to have a section dedicated to how to obtain citizenship or a short guide helping newcomers integrate and the other things we have today.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

Yeah I agree. She has a really bad record as a DA. Just listen to what Tulsi Gabbard said about her.
