The Delegate is elected twice a day. Votes are cast by endorsements, and these votes carry over between elections until the voter manually revokes it or leaves the region.

But I thought you were only allowed a certain amount of endorsements. Doesn't that keep the Delegate in power and prevent democratic progress
Please forgive me if I am missing something very obvious

The delegate has the right to defend their position. The people have the right to revolt against a delegate they are displeased against.

This is TWP. You have to work for your position.

It's one of our favorite days of the week: Punday Monday. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd love for you to think of puns about crabs or nuclear weapons to celebrate the excellent finish of our CRAB faction! More on this below.

How do crabs elude taxes?
They arrange shell companies.

Have you seen nuclear fallout before?
It's rad.

Not really any of your business, but:

Somewhat spammy. And a misuse of embassy posting as far as I’m concerned.

Next question?

democracy is an impossible concept in Nationstates that is little more than cover for statist control freaks, go to the TNP if you want lip service to fake democracy.

TODAY IN THE WEST

It's Haikuesday! You know what to do. Need a theme? Try something nuclear, crab-related, or maybe honor St. Xoriet, CRAB's Skynet and Martyr, with a haiku.

Fittingly, today is also Coffee Day. Cheers!

I want to raise a coffee cup, and later today a glass, to former Delegate, Guardian, and original CommRanger Yy4u who recently CTE'd. I don't know if this CTE is accidental, temporary, or permanent, but either way Haikuesday is a great day to honor YY. He was one of the formative figures in this region's love of refrigerator haiku. I'll be posting some of my favorite haiku by YY throughout the day.

Here's one:

Yy4u wrote:Do five syllables
Then seven is the number
Do five once again

Haikus don't have to
rhyme or to even make sense
refrigerator

Numbers do not lie
Mathematics does prove this
universally

Embrace the haiku
flowing beautifully smooth
amidst seas of words

To Yy4u!

We've lost Yy? That's awful news.

Here's to a champion

Oh lovely coffee,
What would I do without you?
Thanks for the wake up.

Hraefston is confused,
Because they don’t have a flag.
I should make one soon.

Throughout this whole day,
I think I will speak solely
Through haiku yessir

We're all pirates now,
West Pacific sails the seas.
Roo-furs walk the plank.

Five syllables here.
Seven more syllables here.
Are you happy now?

Long time no see, TWP!
