    "Consulate" of The South Pacific

    This region had relations with Wintreath before our policy of providing a topic consulate for non-allied regions. This "consulate" consists of threads from this region's former embassy merged together to serve as an archive, so that it can be accessed as part of our current system. -Wintermoot



    THE COALITION OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC
    MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
    EMBASSY OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC TO WINTREATH

    Hi there!

    This is the Embassy of the Coalition of The South Pacific and will be used to post all Foreign Updates, which will consist of important news and events from our region, and other relevant Cabinet Statements as well. In this particular thread of Wintreath will also be able to ask questions to our ambassador about The South Pacific and get to know a bit more about the region. If all goes well then this will be a place for both of our regions to get closer and interact more.

    So feel free to post and welcome to the Embassy of The South Pacific!

    Speaking on behalf of Wintreath, we're ecstatic to be hosting an embassy of The South Pacific. I think The South Pacific has one of the best Foreign Affairs programs of any region in NationStates, and I look forward to our region being included in the foreign affairs of your region. Here's to the first of many celebrations between Wintreath and The South Pacific. :)

  • From the Office of the Minister:

    Please note that due the the excessive amount of embassies I'm managing I will no longer be able to serve as ambassador to Wintreath. TheStonedSurfers has been appointed as the new ambassador and shall arrive shortly as the new ambassador from the South Pacific. Please do receive him with warmth. I'm sure he will do a fantastic job as our representative to Wintreath.

    Thank you,

    Kris Kringle

  • Quite fascinating, as I know of TheStonedSurfers from my time in Spiritus. A small world it is. In any case, I'm sorry you'll no longer be able to serve as ambassador. I was looking forward to seeing you around more often, but I suppose that's just the way it goes. Farewell!

    I usually let each applicant to the Foreign Service choose the regions where they want to go, so it wasn't really my choice. In any case I too would have liked to remain active here, but until today I've been managing ten embassies and that's just too much. To be honest I'm not active in even half of them, and that just isn't fair. It's better to have active ambassadors.

    Oh noes! My laziness has been exposed! I didn't want to make a Citizen + ambassador permission set, so I made it open for anyone to post in. You should still apply for ambassadorship here.

    BRUTLAND AND NORDEN UNVEILS NEW MAP

    Former Delegate Brutland and Norden has finally unveiled the new regional map of the South Pacific, which has developed during the past four months. Besides the map itself, Brutland and Norden also made a biome map, a tectonic map and a map indicating time zones. Claims for the more than 200 plots available opened on 17 November at 6:00 AM EST and as of now over 60 nations have made their claim, indicating the names of the cities, rivers, mountains, forests, among others. Reception among citizens has been overwhelmingly positive so far:

    "AMAZING!!!" - Hileville, former Delegate
    "We will be the envy of NationStates!" - QuietDad, Chief Justice
    "I've got to admit this is one amazing map." - Libetarian Republics

    TSP TO HOST THE 2013 WORLD FAIR

    The South Pacific won 166-118 against the Democratic Socialist Assembly a bid to host this year’s World Fair on 17 November. Our proposal was written by Escade with some minor contributions from Kringalia and advocated for a diverse set of activities, to appeal to all sides of NationStates, from role-players to game players to NSG and all those in between, responding to the motto of Friendship and Cooperation. Planned activities include quiz games, debates, role-plays, sports tournaments, a masked ball, a world yearbook and many others. Chief Justice QuietDad has opened two IRC games, which can be found at #tsp_gameroom and #tsp_casino.

    ASSEMBLY PASSESS NON-AGGRESSION PACT WITH LAZARUS

    With an astonishing vote of 27-2, the Assembly of the South Pacific passed a Non-Aggression Pact with Lazarus to replace the much criticised treaty that has now been repealed. With the appointment of Milograd as Chairman of Lazarus, there were concerns that a positive bilateral relationship under the former treaty would be unworkable. Milograd and TSP Foreign Minister Kringalia thus approached the Assembly with the aforementioned Pact that both regions have passed with some minor modifications. The vote in the South Pacific of 93% in favour largely surpassed the require 60% for the approval of treaties, despite the presence of a controversial clause that required each signatory to report security threats to the other.

    JUDICIAL REFORM

    Following seven pages of thorough and sometimes heated discussions, the Assembly of the South Pacific seems to have agree on a proposal to reform our judicial system, which was a central component of Belschaft’s campaign platform. The proposal would create a Supreme Court with three justices who would follow an inquisitorial system, thus being active seekers of evidence and the establishment of facts, and it would also create a the figure of delegatorial pardons and commutations. Several citizens were concerned about the initially ambiguous nature of the proposal and the possible violation of due process, leading to heated discussions that ended when Chair of the Assembly Sandaoguo proposed a text that consisted of amendments to the Charter and the Code of Laws, which have been so far widely supported.

    FURTHER NEWS:

    SOUTHERN BELLZ WAS ELECTED MINISTER OF THE ARMY with a vote of 14-3 after running against StGeorgie on a platform to take the New Southern Army to raiding operations against Nazi and hate groups and to support allies whenever needed. Southern Bellz then resigned as Chief Justice and QuietDad was appointed to complete the rest of the term. So far the NSA has raided White Mens burden with The Red Fleet and is planning further anti-hate operations.

    ESCADE HAS BEEN WORKING OVERTIME to bring us lots of new Resident Spotlights, which are short interviews of different nations in the South Pacific. Ever since Escade became Minister of Regional Affairs there have been seventeen Spotlights, some editions interviewing government officials like Southern Bellz and Kringalia, and others interviewing foreign visitors such as The West Pacific’s Wickedly Evil People.

    The election process in the South Pacific will begin in a few days, so we at the Cabinet want to thank all those who have helped and supported us during these past months, either through reading and commenting our Foreign Updates, for supporting our bid to host the World Fair, and by just being there for us. Thanks as well to the People of the South Pacific, who have worked hard and are still doing so to make this region the best in NationStates. You are making this possible!

    Elections over, Santa continues his ascent to power; New Ministers get situated.
    The South Pacific’s quadrimonthly elections are finally over, to some’s much happiness, others much moaning. This election, we saw a lot of new users running for the Cabinet positions. We saw Arbiter08, The United Communist Solar Republic, Farengeto, and Horse running for positions in the government.  These new members, while campaigned hardily, did not, unfortunately (or maybe good, to some people  :P) get main positions in the government. Arbiter08, Farengeto, and Horse (yours truly), did, however, get Deputy positions in the government (Arbiter and Farengeto in Regional Affairs, and myself getting a deputy position in Foreign Affairs.) The closest (and funniest) race to watch was, no doubt, Craziest MoFo of TSP. Grimreaper/Chairman Meow, Unibot, Belschaft, and Rebeltopia ran for the esteemed position. All Campaign threads were side splitting funny, and every opportunity to poke fun at each other/any member in NS was taken, and taken often. In the end, only 7 people could win this gladiator fight to the death, and here’s who won!

    Delegate and Vice Delegate:  Escade/Kringalia
    Chair of the Assembly:  Sandaoguo (resigned)
    Minister of Regional Affairs:  Awe
    Minister of Foreign Affairs:  Hileville

    Craziest MoFo:  Belschaft
     
    My sincerest congratulations go out to all the winners, and may they lead TSP to even greater glory, and an even greater forum community!

    Cabinet makes decision on what to do with Osiris situation, issues arise.
    For those unaware of the situation, on December 11th, Osiris was couped (as said by people against the current happenings. For those for it, it is called a continuation of Asta’s administration), as Vencio, the Vice Delegate, took power, with the help of raiders ( The Black Riders, The Black Hawks, Pantheon, the violet syndicate, Unknown, The Kingdom of Great Britain, HYDRA, Balder, Albion, Europeia, The New Inquisition, The Land of Kings and Emperors, and Kantrias).  The new regime, who has been ejecting members of The Empire, has been met with both support and criticism. The issue, of course, had many members wondering what TSP would do over the issue. Would TSP side with it’s ally TNI and support the new regime? Would we side with Mahaj and CO, with the defenders? Or would we stay out of it completely? The Cabinet debated, and as the curtain rose, it was revealed that TSP would be watching with intent on what to do, and also will attempt to repair relations with the region. After the statement was released, Chair of the Assembly, Glen-Rhodes, released a statement, as Chair of the Assembly, on what he believe should be happening.This caused outrage in the cabinet, and Glen-Rhodes is on track to be being impeached. This led to Unibot, only a citizen in TSP, to motion the recall of Hileville, MoFA, due to “Hileville obstructed the ability of our elected official from viewing the sub-forum under false pretenses (security).” Hileville's recall has failed and Glen-Rhodes has resigned from his position.

    Question: Reaction to Dali’s statement/plans with Osiris after this, and plans with Osiris/will you seek permanent banishment for those involved?.

    Statement from Dali:  Given the toxic nature of the community, we will need fresh leadership in the region, so, I'm probably not going to run for anything in the near future.It'll depend of course on how long it takes Ven, Cormac, and Koth to get their heads out of their asses.  My beef isn't with Ven or Koth really, as although they were certainly the ones to have planned this, they both are, I hope, reasonable players and who can do good things for the community. It's Cormac, though, I have issue with.We'll need to look at those who helped out as case by case, to see if they had malicious intent against Osiris, or for other reasons

    Statement from Venico:  Well, I plan on smashing him and anyone who joins their resistance =P This is war, my intention is to win.I plan on establishing the constitution and getting Osiris off the ground and secure and then retiring most likely. I might stay in culture but once everything is safe and fine, I'm getting out of politics.

    TSP readies itself for the World Fair, long awaited fun to begin soon.
    After a LLOOOONNNNGGGG time of waiting, TSP and the World Fair committee have FINALLY began to set up the beginning of the World Fair, which begins on January 3rd, and ends on the 10th.  The fair, which has 12 regions signed up for venues, is sure to be a smashing hit. Raider and Defender alike have signed up for the prestigious fair, which will create a melting pot of ideas for all members to utilize. The following regions have joined the World Fair, and requested a venue:  The Pacific, The East Pacific, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Lazarus, Osiris, The United Defenders League, Europeia, Albion, Wintreath, The Versutian Federation, Equilism, The Beach, and Mazeria. Our sincerest thank you here at TSP for signing up, and may this be a fantastic World Fair!

    Horsey’s thingybob of the month: Super Crate Box
    So, while scrolling through the bowels of the internet, I stumbled across this game, called Super Crate Box. This game, while low in graphics, is loaded with fun. The objective: collect the crates, and do the THINGS *does the things*. The game’s main character, which alternates between different characters (just models, nothing else) , who try and stop creatures from going into a fire. Your job is to stop them, lest they become faster and faster, and can kill you easier. Each new crate allows you to grab a new weapon, ranging from the katana to a minigun, or even a flamethrower. Enemies range from small little skulls, to giant green...things. I don’t even know what they are :P. The game, as I will try and keep it, is free to play, but does require a download to play. I strongly recommend you play the game, and the link below will take you to the game.
