Introduction: 

Hi everyone, I'm Moe/Monkey, and as you can tell from this thread's title, I'm running for Prime Minister! To address the elephant in the room: I am new to Lazarus, just having joined this month, however I have a lot of ideas and I'm really excited to contribute to this region. Previously, I've mainly served in the executive within Europeia, a decently-sized UCR. Part of this term will be me learning more about Lazarus, its history, and its community, and I'm so glad that the people in this community have been willing to talk to me and get me up to speed. I hope you'll join me on my journey!

As the name of this platform suggests, I will primarily focus on small changes in each department to try and boost its effectiveness. Accordingly, my platform doesn't have a ton of big, groundbreaking, revolutionary ideas. Rather, I want to focus on small changes and fixes that I know are doable, and that will hopefully have a positive effect. It is my hope that I will be able to bring a bit of activity back into Lazarus, as well as make it easier for new people to get involved. I plan to group my platform into two areas: foreign affairs and domestic affairs, even though multiple departments will be grouped together in each. I hope that's ok!

Foreign Affairs: 

The Regional Guard: 

Based off of what I've learned about the regional guard, it seems like it's currently operating well and accomplishing the purpose it's designed for, so I won't be proposing too many changes here. My main goal would be to hold one or two training operations if there is interest. Additionally, I want to look into ways to get more people interested in the regional guard. Even if there aren't super frequent opportunities for us to use our regional guard, it's important that our allies can count on a decent amount of us showing up (pilers/reserves) if they ever need support, or in anti-fascist operations, etc. Therefore, I will focus on getting updated rosters of everyone that is able to participate in operations if needed, make sure our guides are up to date, and hopefully try one or two training operations so people are ready in case the Guard is ever needed. 

Ambassadors: 

Ambassadors are a useful tool for us to get information about what our allies are up to, as well as to share news about regional happenings. During my term, one of my first actions will be to check in with our current ambassadors, and see if there are any ways we can help make their jobs/lives easier in terms of representing Lazarus abroad (as well as checking which regions don't currently have an ambassador). During my term, I also hope to release at least one update to our allies about current affairs in Lazarus, so that they know what we've been up to! Ambassadors are also a great way for us to develop our current alliances and think about new ones, which feeds into my next point...

Alliances and Treaties: 

Lazarus currently has allies across NationStates, which is great! During my term, I'll try to deepen those relationships by communicating with them through ambassadors, as well as seeing if there are opportunities for further collaboration. I'd like to look into hosting a cultural/games festival or weekend with at least one of our allies this term, and hopefully that should be a lot of fun and bring some activity to our region! Lastly, some things that I'd like to think about are creating treaties with more regions, as well as thinking about how we represent ourselves to the rest of the gameplay community, possibly utilizing our NSGP forum embassy thread more often to post updates. I don't have a ton of ideas here, but I'm certainly willing to think about those points!

NPO: 

As someone who's new to Lazarus, I intend on following the consensus last adopted by this region regarding the NPO and our relationship with them (waiting for a delegacy change before considering any next steps). I'm also a newer face to NS history and Lazarus history in general, so I don't have much to say here, except that I promise to listen to community input and people who have been here longer than I have before making any changes in this department (and this goes for other foreign affairs projects too). 

Domestic Affairs: 

Shareholdership and Employment: 

I think something crucial to getting newcomers involved is making sure that applications are processed promptly. Of course we all have our own lives and may be busy at times, but I will try my best to make sure that shareholder applications and ministry applications are processed quickly so newcomers aren't discouraged due to a long wait. Additionally, after talking to my potential future director in this area, I hope to standardize the application as well as review our current resources and guides on the forums to make it easier for new members to get involved within Lazarus. 

Gameside: 

Our region has nearly 8,000 nations, but we don't have anywhere close to that many people on our Discord or forums. While Lazarus is unique in that it is a sinker, I believe there are still thing we can do to attract people to our offsite resources. Some things I'd like to try are making more resources to alert our gameside community of the benefits of shareholdership, as well as interacting with them more and making them feel welcome, whether it's things like regional polls, contests, or even just checking in on the RMB more frequently. Hopefully that'll encourage more people to join our discord and our forums. In addition, I'd also like to look into advertising the importance of endorsements, especially on our delegate. If there are improvements that can be made in this area, I'd be supportive of running a campaign to get more nations to sign up for the WA, and emphasizing the importance that endorsements can collectively make. 

Culture: 

I feel that Lazarus already has a very welcoming and friendly culture. I proposed a mutual cultural exchange with an ally earlier on, and if that's successful, I'm definitely thinking of game or movie nights within our own community as well, or even things like hosting a flag contest, chess tournament, etc and inviting the whole NationStates community to take part! We also have a lot of new development happening on our forums in terms of games and activities, and I'm willing to help with that as well to bring more things to do on our forums. 

The Gazette: 

It's important for other regions in NS to know of our going-ons, so I intend on promising at least one edition of the Lazarene Gazette under my term. I feel as though with the platform I've proposed, there are a lot of changes that we would be able to update the NS community on, including this PM election. Although it would take some effort, I'm confident that I would be able to get together a collection of news stories, interviews, articles etc together to release an edition of the Gazette. 


That's all I have proposed for my platform! If you've made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read about my ideas, and I hope you ask questions if you have any! As someone who's still new to Lazarus, if something doesn't look right or seems like a bad idea, I'm happy to revisit that idea and think of a different solution. 

Although my platform may seem long, in reality there are just one or two changes in each department I'd like to make, and some of them can be organized rather quickly. I think my platform is wholly doable, and I'm glad to have the help of some other Lazarus citizens to help me as Directors. I'm very confident that I can deliver most, if not all, of my platform over the next few months.

Any shareholders that have declared their candidacy are strongly encouraged to create a campaign thread by the time the campaign period has ended. If the individual does not do so, the Speaker will create such a thread for them.

The standing period will end on May 22nd, 8:18 AM EST, at which point the campaigning period shall begin.

Welcome to the Office of the Assembly Speaker. Official announcements from the Assembly Speaker and guidelines for Deputy Speakers will be posted here. Citizens may also ask questions, make comments, provide feedback, or post a leave of absence for the attention of the Assembly Speaker, but please try not to clutter this thread. Thanks!

[table][cell]
Deputy Guidelines:
  1. Do not put anything to vote unless the Speaker is on an official leave of absence or has given permission to post a vote. This is to maintain Section 2.1, 2.4, and 4.8 of the Assembly Procedure Act.
  2. You may determine whether a vote is to take place in a public or private setting. The majority of discussions take place in a public setting.
  3. If a citizen has withdrawn their motion to vote, you may end the vote. If a citizen is no longer a citizen, then only the Speaker may withdraw the relevant motion.
  4. You may close votes that have ended. If you do so, remember to update the relevant law using the correct format.
  5. You may not give consent to release information from the Assembly. If someone asks you, tell him or her to ask the Speaker.
  6. You may advise citizens each month on their citizenship in accordance with the Lazarene Citizenship Act, Article II. Deprivation of Citizenship. When the Speaker or Deputies conduct a citizenship review, those scheduled to have their citizenship revoked must be listed in the Revoked Shareholders forum and a ping sent out to notify citizens of that thread as soon as it’s posted.
  7. Ask the Speaker before organizing or cleaning the Assembly forums.
  8. Elections are to be conducted by the Speaker. This includes closing the voting thread.
  9. Keep an eye on the Shareholders Status list.
  10. Any other responsibilities that are not outlined in this guideline, assume the Speaker is to carry them out, but ask.

(2) General Elections shall last for a duration of fifteen (15) days.

During the voting period, you will rank candidates in order of preference. You should rank abstention beneath all of the candidates you are prepared to consider.

[Table][cell]
(2) The Prime Minister shall be elected by majority instant-runoff vote for a four-month term. Elections shall be undertaken by the Assembly. Procedure for elections will be defined by law.

Assembly Procedure Act (August 2018)
 
Proposed by:@Cormac

Section 1. Administration

(1) The Assembly will be administered according to all provisions mandated for the Assembly by Mandate 12 and according to the below procedures.

Section 2. Legislative Procedures

(1) A minimum discussion period of three days is required before any proposal may be brought to vote. The Speaker is not required to open a vote if they determine that the proposal has not had sufficient discussion, but they may not delay opening a vote for more than seven days from when the motion to vote on the proposal was seconded.

(2) In order for a proposal to be brought to vote, a citizen eligible to vote on that proposal must make a motion to vote, and another such citizen must second the motion. A motion to vote may only be made by the initial author of a proposal unless the initial author is no longer a citizen or has not posted on the off-site regional forum for more than seven days without posting a leave of absence and has not logged on to their on-site account for more than seven days.

(3) Only the citizen who made the motion may withdraw it unless that citizen is no longer a citizen, then the Speaker may withdraw the relevant motion. A motion may only be withdrawn before the end of the last day of voting and once a motion is withdrawn, voting shall cease immediately.

(4) Only the citizen who withdrew the motion may re-motion to vote at any time and such motion shall require a second before being brought to vote. If any motion to vote is not seconded within seven days that motion shall be invalid.

(5) If a relevant proposal is edited after a motion to vote is made then that motion shall be invalid. No changes to a proposal shall be accepted once the relevant vote has commenced.

(6) Only the Prime Minister may introduce a proposal to enact, amend, or repeal a treaty or declaration of war, and only the Prime Minister may make a motion to vote on such a proposal.

(7) In the event that there are multiple competing proposals regarding the same matter in the judgment of the Assembly Speaker, the Assembly Speaker will bring them to vote one at a time, in the order they were motioned to vote. If such a proposal is enacted, the subsequent competing proposals will not be brought to vote.

(8) All votes will take place for five days. Citizens eligible to vote may vote "Aye" or "For," "Nay" or "Against," or "Abstain" or "Present." Voters may not post any other content in a voting thread or embellish the format of their vote in any way, and votes that include additional content or embellishment will be discarded and split from the voting thread. Voters may cast their votes by posting in each voting thread.

(9) The Assembly Speaker will determine which discussions will take place publicly and which will take place privately, and may accordingly move discussions to and from the Assembly's private forum, except that the Delegate may determine whether proposals to enact, amend, or repeal treaties will be public or private. All votes will be conducted in public.

Section 3. Deputies to the Assembly Speaker

(1) The Assembly Speaker may appoint deputies to assist in presiding over the Assembly according to its procedural rules. Appointment of a deputy will be subject to confirmation by 50%+1 vote of the Assembly if the deputy-designate has previously been removed from office by the Assembly.

(2) Deputies to the Assembly Speaker will serve until resignation, removal from office by the Assembly or the Assembly Speaker, or automatic removal from office as defined by Mandate 12.

(3) Any powers or responsibilities assigned to the Assembly Speaker by these procedures, Mandate 12, or any other law, unless explicitly directed otherwise, may be delegated by the Assembly Speaker to their deputy or deputies, and rescinded by the Assembly Speaker. Deputies will not have the power to appoint or remove other deputies.
