[Discussion] Cabinet Appointments

[Cormac]

I will allow an additional 24 hours for more questions, or for the nominees to answer outstanding questions, before bringing this to vote.

For imaginary, who do you see as lazarus' foremost allies both among GCRs and UCRS and why(for example a top 3 GCRS and a list of UCRS). How would you improve relations with these regions, would you look to create treaties, what regions would you look to form new bonds with?
To killer kitty: Sinkers have always had a problem with recruitment as naturally they are where inactive nations are resurrected then mostly moved out to another region, how would you encourage people to stay and increase the proportion of active RMBers who then become citizens?

Wymondham:

Lazarus doesn't currently have any official foreign allies, but I'd like to open the door to more developed relations with all the regions that have in-game embassies with us.

As I mentioned before, I think the first step is getting to know other regions, and a good way to do this is through an ambassador program. I also have some ideas about how to help our community engage more directly with those of our embassies by organizing shared events and activities with them.

Treaties are a little like marriages; they're cool, but you should know what you're getting into before you say "I do." I think the new Lazarus needs to find its feet in NS before getting into serious interregional ties. However, in the future it would be a nice thing to have treaties with regions that share our interests and values.

Building bridges with the regions we already have embassies with will be a pretty big job, but if other regions become more relevant to Lazarus I think it would be reasonable to establish connections with them as well.

Hope that answers your questions. I can't really give you a list of top allies, but I have enjoyed my time working as an ambassador in Balder, Osiris, and The West Pacific. I think all of these regions could be really great allies to us in the future, but I plan to extend the hand of friendship to anyone who wishes to take it - and we'll see how far we can go together.
