Opinion Article
Should elections be the norm?
By La Xinga, writer of NationStates News


Kuriko is not even done his/her first year as Secretary-General, yet it feels like the next election is arriving shortly. Although, well, it's not. Now, Kuriko and Running Mate The Salaxalans promised to fight fascists, and with Kuriko returning to a Defender after HumanSanity became delegate of XKI, it seems ever more likely. Kuriko has promised much more stuff, and a lot of them have already become true with only 1/8 of Kuriko's term passing.

Now onto the juicy stuff. In 2016, Caelapes won the election, and in 2020 Kuriko won. The next election will most likely be in 2024. But do we really need to wait till 2024? Should we, instead, add a "congress/parliament" with a representative from each region, with midterm elections? Or maybe political parties, or just the ability to impeach Kuriko for existing?

The pros for this is simple: Fun. Nations that are not new to the game will probably have a lot of fun with the whole political stuff. Nations new to the game may also be more interested in the game and want to stick around. The people having fun the most will be the politicians and the ROs, the main dudes at the head of these stuff. It will also attack the thought that NS really doesn't have much stuff to do. You will ALWAYS have something to do.

The cons, well, are a bit more complex. First of all, it will make the admins do quite a lot of work. Don't forget the Admins are people, not bots.................we think.

Second, although it may make new nations more interested in the game and want to stick around, it may also make new nations extremely confused, and just decide not to log back in. Three, this can allow regions to continue making themselves the point of the game, and four, NationStates is not an electoral game, it's a game to create a nation.

What do you think? Should we do this? That's up for you to decide for yourself.


Raxulan Empire Closed Embassies with Farkasfalka

After some forum conversation, the Administration of Raxulan Empire had decided to close embassies with Farkasfalka. We contacted their Soveriegn to know more about the issue. "We orginally opened embassies with them due to their right wing association (Conservative/Libertarian) and out of hopes that they would be useful to us in our fight against Communism, however the alliance we had (if you can call it that) did not produce very profitable results and seemed to carry more baggage then what it was worth, hence we are closing our embassies with them", said Rost dreadnorramus.


Layem Imposes Travel Ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy

Recently the region of Confederacy of Layem had imposed a travel ban on Citizens Alliance of Democracy. We talked with Democracy alliance founder to know more about the the issue. "I was attempting to reform things in Layem with new laws, and was planning to do it after the election. Someone said I was wanting to do this, and I got banned from the region. I got vocal about this real fast, exposing Layem's lies and authoritarianism. Because I was tarnishing their reputation, they banned travel to my new region. As a side effect, Layem was removed from the United Regions Alliance and the founder was put onto a watchlist. These were not my actions, however, my vocalism may have raised awareness to these topics. I have attempted to violently seize power in Layem in early June. They use it against me, although I am ashamed of it and want to leave it in the past. Just telling you this because they may target you. You now have heard both sides of the story. Be careful when talking to the founder; he can turn into a raving jerk sometimes."

Currently, no communication was made possible with the other end.


MoFA Elections in Confederacy of Layem

The region of Layem is soon going to hold its Ministry of Foreign Affairs elections. We talked with Randolphina, one of the candidates, about their election manifesto. "Currently Layem faces really "nothing" in the foreign affairs sphere. We only are close to 1-2 regions and are currently looking to expand and become closer with more regions. I've promised a 'one month plan' in my dispatch if you are interested to take a look. I plan on making Layem more 'inter-regional' friendly", said Randolphina.


Augustin Alliance Emerged as N-Day Champion

Augustin Alliance has emerged as the N-Day champion, pushing all other factions below it. Last year's winners, Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was the most targetted faction this year, finishing in last place with a world record-breaking amount of radiation (821,369). Ba Sing Se completed at the third place with 0 radiation. An Alliance of Potatoes deserves appreciation, for not only having the most number of nations, but also for fighting back to second place. The Potatoes managed to upgrade their score from -65k to 284k, within a few hours.

Overall, throughout the N-Day, nuclear war was intense among the first few regions, with Horsemen of Apocalypse dominating the scoreboard in the initial hours. More information can be found here.


Political Scale of NationStates

In a recent poll, we asked people what do they think of the general political-leaning of NationStates. Most of the people, believe that a specific portion of nationstates is left-leaning, while a fair amount of people voted to express their opinion, that most of the nationstates is left-leaning.

furthermore I ment that for you

Greetings from The New World of Funiverse, you may remember us as The Continential Funiverse.

Due to changes in our previous region we decided it was time to move and rebuild. While we rebuild we would like to know if you guys are still open to us notifying about new polls and if there is any restrictions we should consider with poll notifications.

Also our RMB is open to members of regions we established embassies with.

We're glad to have re-established our embassy with you and wish you a good day.

-Funiverse, New Funiverse Founder

Magnus ducatus larii of Foedus Christianarum Nationum speaking. Thank you for having accepted our embassy construction request. It is always a pleasure when two Christian regions decide to cooperate in the name of the institution of the monarchy.

Greetings from your embassy Laraniem!

I'm just checking in with our fellow embassies and seeing how everyone is.

Just to be safe, I was also wondering if you guys are okay with poll advertisement on the RMB? If not, that's okay, we'll just bypass the region when on the poll run.

Hope to see you again,

Hagston

"You so mean to me."
"Can it...I don't want to deal with you right now."
The Taxi driver gives us a weird look before looking back at the road.
"What did yo tell him by the way?"
"Uh, I told him that we were on our first date and wanted to see something, then gave him a location, why?"
"THE HELL!? WE ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO DATING!"
"Geez, chill out! I was tired, he asked me who you were, I made up a story, simple as that."
"I couldn't be a brother, or just a friend, you had to tell him I'm your boyfriend?"
"Eh, I dunno."

Triple Strike flies for a bit, before landing in a clearing to rest for a second. After a bit, they get back up, and take off again in the same direction.
