Congratulations to Tubbius, and thank you to Imki for the confidence in me to serve as Speaker. :)

SheepShape, aka Asta/SillyString has a long history of legislative and court proceedings in NationStates, her name is almost synonymous with them!
Roavin is immensely hard working, capable and while he and I may not always see eye to eye, I trust him to always say and do what he thinks is right.
Derps is a newcomer to NS law but I have great faith she has the right mentality and a keen intellect that will allow her to pick it up quickly, particularly with the help and experience provided by the other two.
Together I can't think of a better starting foundation for our new Lazarus court system, I think they will provide strong, professional and objective answers to any issues that may arise and although we may have to overlook the occasional bad pun or dad joke, I would again advise voting for the affirmative in all three cases!

As per Mandate 12, Article V, Section 1, they will now be subject to an Assembly confirmation vote and must each pass with a 50 +1 majority in a thread to be set up by the Speaker of the Assembly soon.

Thank you for your time and work so far Lazarus, I'm so proud of what we're becoming!

Signed,
Imkiville
Delegate of Lazarus

I believe these nations have shown a lot of dedication to their respective fields and will do great work for our region.

New Rogernomics is a long standing member of Lazarus who has shown great drive, initiative and ability in working to make Lazarus a better, more vibrant place. In the past he has been both Delegate and Culture minister. During Concon he was one of the most active members of the Council of Natives. Lately he has been the architect behind our beautiful new forums and its currency as well as proposing many interesting and exciting ideas for our future including a wonderful grand reopening festival. I have little doubt that this position has been well and truly earned. I expect great things from him and look forward to seeing them!

The department of Media and EventsImaginary has shown great enthusiasm and interest in the field of Foreign Affairs and throughout our various troubles has continued to be a positive example of what Lazarus has to offer to our friends abroad. I believe she has a great attitude and open mind towards the role, and will be a valuable asset in growing our friendships with other regions and keeping them informed with our progress. Despite the deception I believe her recent confession shows a lot of character and bravery so I'm willing to overlook the transgression and continue to offer her this role as I was going to before she came clean, becauseI believe a strong backbone is important for someone working in what can be a very high pressure position at times. We do not want someone who will back down from what's right for Lazarus. I'll be working closely with her to ensure a steady but progressive cooperation with our fellow regions and have great faith that she will become a great minister.

The department of Interregional RelationsKiller Kitty, AKA Evil Wolf, is very likely the most controversial appointment I have made thus far and will probably make during my delegacy but while there may be a lot of negative stigma against KK for his involvement in the prior regime, he is still a long time member of the region with a great deal of experience, knowledge and passion for Lazarus. I believe he will be a great fit for the role and ask that you don't hold his involvement in the Khanate against him. While it may seem odd to nominate the person I couped the region from for a government position, I have been speaking to him a lot since then and he has helped with efforts such as the Lazarus Home Office dispatches. I do think he wants what's best for Lazarus as well and want to give him the chance to prove it to you all again.

The department of Recruitment and Outreach will be charged with promoting citizenship and other perks to doing more for Lazarus to the gameside residents and encouraging nations to join the WA and endorse correctly. I would also like the ministry to keep the residents informed of things at vote in the WA and poll them to gauge how the region would like me to vote (although this may be splintered off to its own department in the future).

While these are by no means the end of my cabinet appointments I believe the three of them will be a solid start to our government needs and I hope the region will vote to confirm them all.

Signed,
Imkiville
Delegate of Lazarus

 
Are there subdepartments? For instance, Recruitment and Outreach is a very broad expanse, covering immigration law, the World Assembly, and education, for instance.

This feels like a very large Department that needs subdivisions with their own leaders to function properly.
 
Looks like you were right about that EW!

Look like some solid choices to me Imki. :)
 
Looks like EW was right about the SOON, lol.

Solid choices it looks to me Imki, and can I just say I'm not surprised that's your first question UM? :P

What is that supposed to imply? I just don't think departments should be overloaded.
 
Wasn't meant to imply anything, I just wasn't surprised about the mention of the World Assembly in there.

Hm. Interesting picks.
I look forward to the three candidates outlining their motivation and clearing possible issues.

I have requests and questions regarding each one except NR.

Imaginary, I must have missed it- what happened recently that Imkiville hinted at?

Evil Wolf, you really feel ready for this? You think people trust you enough for this? It ain't easy being minister or anything else important if there is lots of distrust... Do you think your application at this time serves the region more than it harms?

Imkiville, why not wait a bit longer and give others ministry posts than giving KK an initial ministry post?
You don't consider them a threat?
What was the problem with Imaginary?
