Welcome to Charax Campaign HQ
Old Face, New Ideas

Who are you?
I'm Charax Etreo Romanov. I helped found this region with Wintermoot after the Spiritan Rift of October 2013, and I was a key contributor to our Fundamental Laws. This included the actual titling of the document, in addition to directly writing its preamble. More importantly though, I designed and advocated our bicameral legislature as well as contributing to all the debates of the Constitutional Convention, with the exception of the Judicial Branch. I was our first, longest serving and most successful Jarl of Foreign Affairs, overseeing our opening of relations with tens of regions, and our first treaty ratification with the People's Republic of Lazarus. I also served as Thane of World Assembly Affairs whereby I advised the Jarl (Reon) on Security Council affairs, and was a Peer of the first Overhusen. In light of my service and dedication I was appointed Crown Prince of Wintreath by Wintermoot.

I left the game due to personal circumstances in March, but after being awarded permanent citizenship and a Commendation by the Storting I became more active again.

Why should we vote for you?
That's a good question. I have various Constitutional Reforms which I should like to present to the lower chamber this session, and I should like to present them to you here, in convenient list form. For your eyes' pleasure.

• The Minor Edits Act should be passed, though tweaked to allow edits to the Preamble to pass without the need for a Referendum.
• I would resubmit the Freedom of Information Act, as personally I believe the citizenry should have the right to know what the executive is doing. Note that I do not suggest it is doing anything nefarious or inappropriate, but in principle I think this is an important right to have.
• Lastly, and most controversially I expect, I wish to propose the abolition of the fixed term. It is a problematic feature of legislatures throughout the NS world, that activity is at its highest immediately following an election and immediately before it, as legislators seek to remain in their office. Under a reformed system, the Speaker of the Underhusen could petition the Monarch to dissolve the Storting and trigger the two week election process. If such a petition has not been made within the currently statutory two months, the Storting would dissolve automatically. This ensures that an inactive Storting can be ended organically, if it has run out of reforms to make, rather than being given an artifical lifespan as is currently the case.

The Wintreath that will be forged by the White Heat of this Election,
will be no place for inactivity in any area of Government.

Concerns, Queries, Complaints, Death Threats, Love Letters? Drop them here.

(If you were wondering about the last line, I was paraphrasing the beautiful man in my avatar.)

Again, welcome to the campaign. So essentially you want to revive two pieces of legislation which the Overhusen unanimously rejected, the Minor Edits Act and the Freedom of Information Act. How will your version of these Acts differ from the rejected versions, other than adding in the ability to edit the Preamble?

Concerns

• I fear that the Freedom of Information Act will still be used as a personal assault weapon, especially by those that are paranoid that they are being talked about behind their backs. Yes, these things do take place because often the Riksrad or the Underhusen and Overhusen have to talk about certain troublesome individuals that have caused problems in Wintreath from time to time. I understand why we should have it, in principle, but I still don't like it.
• Ur a fgt
• U aint me m8 or my nigga

Queries

• Y u leave us? ;-;
• How do you suppose we keep people from abusing power in the Storting if there aren't set terms? In the real parliament system we have politicians who retire because they're getting old, or too stressed, or because they have enough money to retire, but apart from the stress there's no other reasons to retire here, besides boredom. That's another thing, there's no real incentive to keep going strong if there's no set terms, everyone's just going to get bored.
• Then I read your full post.... >.> <.< <.> That kids, is why you read.
• Any affairs we should be aware of?

Complaints

• Ur still a fgt
• Your profile picture is disturbing, I don't like politicians in general.
• That's another thing, I don't like you in general, no offense.

Death Threats

• What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Anyways, good luck

Again, welcome to the campaign. So essentially you want to revive two pieces of legislation which the Overhusen unanimously rejected, the Minor Edits Act and the Freedom of Information Act. How will your version of these Acts differ from the rejected versions, other than adding in the ability to edit the Preamble?

I think the rejection of these acts was a mistake, in essence, and I'd like for the chance to air that opinion in the Storting and convince the new members that they were incorrect to do so. The acts would be no different, but I believe they are worth re-examining in any case.

Alt's massive post

I fear that the Freedom of Information Act will still be used as a personal assault weapon, especially by those that are paranoid that they are being talked about behind their backs.

I understand why we should have it, in principle, but I still don't like it.

This is a very legitimate concern and one that definitely warrants address. One possible solution for this would be the appointment of a Complaints Commissioner, who can be appointed by the Monarch & confirmed by the Underhusen. The Commissioner would have complete security of tenure, and would be irremovable from office until resignation to ensure their independence. Such resignation would be expected upon taking an office of the crown, such as a seat in the Riksrad or Overhusen.

Ur a fgt

&wot

U aint me m8 or my nigga

u wanna go sun

Y u leave us? ;-;

It's all like real life and shit y'know.

How do you suppose we keep people from abusing power in the Storting if there aren't set terms?

Then I read your full post.... >.> <.< <.> That kids, is why you read.

You can have a medal for participation.

Any affairs we should be aware of?

Milograd gave me a handjob in return for his Comrade-Administratorship. That's about it though. Oh, and once I jerked it into Denth's office plant.

Ur still a fgt

Your profile picture is disturbing, I don't like politicians in general.

Harold Wilson is a great man and a sexy beast. Fuck you, and your opinions.

That's another thing, I don't like you in general, no offense.

lol newfag

Well, not from me, but I do know someone who would like for me to deliver one to you >.>

Tell Unibot if he sends me one more nude postcard I'm calling the police.

So if they were rejected again in the Overhusen, you would pursue a veto override instead of modifications?

I'd reluctantly table the issue until a new Storting.

Thank you for your quick replies.

My pleasure.

Spoilers are for pussies

And how would we elect or appoint a commissioner?

Well, I was thinking of someone else but...

Then call me a vaginakitten

And how would we elect or appoint a commissioner?

I'd suggest Monarchic appointment, subject to confirmation by the Underhusen.

Maybe now you can invest in some kind of trophy cabinet. Make it a small one though eh?

The first one is alright, the second one is disgusting.

The plant didn't mind.

Cry like the little bitch you are.

You're a nice guy Charax, just, not like that 

This video helped me through some tough friendzone times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s0AhWRnL6o

Well, I was thinking of someone else but...

Oh, Karputsk. Dude can't take a hint.

And how would we elect or appoint a commissioner?

I'd suggest Monarchic appointment, subject to confirmation by the Underhusen.

What if the UH or the Monarch are under investigation themselves?

km @ me fgt i aint scard ill dank 360 u fam

Feth it, not wasting my time

Shiny 

Maybe now you can invest in some kind of trophy cabinet. Make it a small one though eh?

I have many trophies, for example, the one your mom gave me after last night.

The plant didn't mind.

I think we might have to launch an investigation...

Cry like the little bitch you are.

Do you like it when I cry?

Well, I was thinking of someone else but...

Oh, Karputsk. Dude can't take a hint.

Well, you got that one right, but there's others. None of them have the balls to speak up e.e Maybe you should show them that video to help them

And how would we elect or appoint a commissioner?

I'd suggest Monarchic appointment, subject to confirmation by the Underhusen.

What if the UH or the Monarch are under investigation themselves?

They have security of tenure, they have no need to be loyal to the Monarch or UH. Their neutrality is ensured by their invulnerability.

Was that another participation one? A "came as soon as he smelled my perfume" medal?

The plant didn't mind.

Think about it and I'll uproot the bastard.

They have security of tenure, they have no need to be loyal to the Monarch or UH. Their neutrality is ensured by their invulnerability.So the commissioner is appointed at the beginning of a term?

The plant didn't mind.

Think about it and I'll uproot the bastard.

Do it and I'll have your head.
