Footnotes
1. Previous to the Citizenship Act, there was no other way to remove Shareholdership from non-resident nations. So these are not bans/ejections, but inactivity votes. 
2. This was a general authorization for a ban/ejection, though only an ejection was carried out. 

Shareholders of Lazarus,

the campaigning period has concluded, and voting has now begun. In this thread, eligible shareholders may submit their ballots. As per Lazarene Elections Act 2.1.c and 5.1.a, the voting period lasts 5 full days starting at the point this thread was posted. 

The eligible candidates are: 

• @"Whatermelons" (Campaign thread)
  
• @"Domais" (Campaign thread)
  

Quote:Domais
Whatermelons
Abstain

  Hey, Lazarus! I’m Whatermelons. I’ll start with a short introduction: I’ve been playing NationStates for just over 4 years, I’ve served as Lazarus’ Regional Guard Director, theUnited Regions Alliance’s Vice President, Mariner Trench’s Prime Minister and other roles. In addition, I’ve authored a couple of WA resolutions. However, today I’ve decided to formally launch my campaign for Regional Director of Lazarus.

   I’ll be frank: Lazarus has not been at its best lately. The region has been stagnating for a while with a lot of inactivity. For example, our PR Director’s main nation ceased to exist for over a month. Citizenship activities have been sitting without a response in the applications subforum for weeks on end. I don’t have to explain why this level of inactivity is bad for the region as a whole. I will however not blame our current and previous governments, and instead commend them for their efforts in holding the line despite being burnt out and weary.

   Without further ado, here are my intended goals to achieve during my term:

 Shareholdership

   Currently, we have a department for accepting shareholders. Even with such a simple job, it has failed miserably at it. I will immediately close down this department and form an expanded department titled ‘Department of Recruitment’. This will deal with mass recruitment for shareholdership and various departments through telegrams or the RMB, and integrating new people into the region, in addition to the duties of accepting and rejecting shareholdership.

 Foreign Affairs

   To start, I would like to disclose that one of the first things I will do as Managing Director would be to call for an end to the war with the NPO. We are fighting a pointless war against a region that attacked us eons ago, who now have a new, less warmongering administration, especially when allies such as Osiris have already called for an armistice. Whether we open our arms and embrace new citizens from the NPO or have a cold war for a while will be up to the shareholders.

     Next, I would like to forge treaties with several regions, namely The Rejected Realms and The East Pacific. I find that having treaties with these regions, as well as any others we may see fit, will be very beneficial to ensuring a sustained PR presence and interregional activity. I will work with the PR Director on the finer details of these treaties.

   Lastly, ambassadors. Like for every department, we will need to have a massive recruitment drive for new ambassadors. Currently, we only have 5 ambassadors representing our region internationally, and two regions don’t have ambassadors posted to them, including The North Pacific whom we have a treaty with and that is unacceptable. I will also have the Internal Management work with PR to create foreign updates which will be disseminated in regions. Which brings me on to my next point...

 Internal Management

   New Rogernomics had great plans for the Internal Management under the Temmi administration, which included regular gazette publications and more sustained RP activity. Therefore, I hope he will return to the position of Director of Internal Management, or if he does not wish to have the position I hope (and I am sure) he will share his plans with the next Director.

 The Guard

   The Guard is tricky. It is hard to get out of first gear when we have many restrictions on what we can and cannot do. Therefore, I will not promise a lot of activity. Rather, jo and I will recruit new members and develop training guides, as well as do some organisational restructuring, so we can have a good foundation for the future.

 Long Term Goals

   If my first term is a success, it will hopefully pave the way for future expansions and plans, such as:

 A World Assembly department, if there is enough interest.

 Organising regional festivals or contests.

 Participation and maybe even organisation of interregional festivals and contests.

 ‘War Games’ with our military and others.

 Thank you for reading and hope you consider voting for me in the next election!

Shareholders of Lazarus,

@Imkihca has been appointed to serve as a Court Justice. As per Mandate 12 V.1, this appointment is subject to a simple majority confirmation by the Shareholders of Lazarus.

The appointment announcement by Delegate @treadwellia:

Quote:Hi everyone,

See that Imkihca person who started this thread--our former Delegate Imki? I am recommending her forward as one of our two needed Justices. She has been a big part of Lazarus for some time now and is willing to devote the time to learn about Lazarene law and handle judge work for us.

I am still choosing among options for a second suggested Justice and should have more on that this weekend, I hope.

Assembly, do your voting stuff.

Signed,

Treadwellia, Delegate of Lazarus
