Announcement from the Delegate
Cabinet Minister Appointments

Firstly I’d like to apologise for the delay in this announcement and for not being very active lately. I have had these nominations in mind for quite a while but things offline were unexpectedly busy.

I’d like to start the first of my Cabinet appointments with a few very important departments. I would like to nominate New Rogernomics for the position of Minister of Media and Events, Your Imaginary Friend for the position Minister of Interregional Relations, and finally Killer Kitty for Minister of Recruitment and Outreach.

(1) The Delegate will set the course of the Cabinet with such ministries, programs, and activities as they determine are beneficial for Lazarus.

(2) The Delegate may issue executive directives to set public policy for executive ministries, programs, and activities. Such directives will remain in effect unless rescinded by the Delegate who issued them or a subsequent Delegate. Such directives may also be amended by the Delegate who issued them or a subsequent Delegate.

(3) The Delegate may appoint Cabinet Ministers to assist with executive ministries, programs, and activities, and must fill any ministries mandated by law. Appointment of Cabinet Ministers will be subject to confirmation by 50%+1 vote of the Assembly.

(4) Cabinet Ministers will serve until resignation, removal from office by the Assembly or the Delegate, or automatic removal from office.

(5) The Delegate may provide for the appointment and removal of Cabinet deputies.

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 Events will focus on fun and creative ways of bringing our community together as well as showcasing what our region’s vibrant culture has to offer to the rest of the region and abroad. They will work closely with the other departments to help promote things going on within the region as well as host exciting events to help keep things fun and interesting.

Imaginary 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 Relations will focus on keeping our fellow regions up to date with what’s going on in Lazarus and setting a positive example abroad. They should be able to put aside personal biases to report back to Lazarus about how our fellows are getting on in their own regions. While I am not currently looking to form any treaties or official ties with other regions, I do still believe it very important to keep them informed and friendly and for us to stay up to date on their progress too, so for the moment, this is more of a soft foreign affairs department but may evolve as our needs as a region do.

Killer 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.

[TempestShadow]

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?

What is that supposed to imply? I just don't think departments should be overloaded.

[TempestShadow]

Wasn't meant to imply anything, I just wasn't surprised about the mention of the World Assembly in there.

[Amerion]

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about the nominees' plans.

[Old Hope]

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?

[Smith]

I look forward to working for every last one of these people.
