25 August 2024 -- Meeting of the Consulate |
Posted by: Spode - 08-29-2024, 05:09 AM - Forum: Council of the Republic

It’s been awhile since the Consulate has done a consulate meeting, and so we held one in a rather impromptu fashion. As it was an impromptu meeting, you’re getting a late and impromptu report of it. It's going here rather than the executive channel because I have no idea who has the roles to see it.
Big takeaways?
The League and Concord now have a variety of domestic projects that are still in the works, with a variety of public interest and relative priority. There's constitutional reform for making the legislative branch exist again, there’s the impending launch of the regional economy, and there’s recruitment– And all of these projects have interlinking concerns and issues.
During discussion on the logistics of how the regional economy would work, we all agreed that there’ll be some upkeep while the economy functions, and that there’ll need to be someone performing administrative tasks of distributing leaguecredits (I’m using the last currency as a stand-in for whatever the community decides as the currency name this time around) based on reports provided by relevant government bodies.
Quote:“Hey, that position sounds like something that should be outlined in a legislative package!"
Yeah, the person I invented to express my own viewpoint! Which is why it seems prudent for us to finalize the constitution’s new legislature prior to implementation of the economy. The unfashionable thing that needs to precede fancy new stuff.
I hope we can accomplish all this soon.
With regards,
Consul Mechanocracy

Welcome to the Terraconserva Football League, TL&C's fantasty league for the 2024 NFL Season!
Can I still enter?
Yes - today. I'll remove this once we draft. Go to the TFL page to join. You do not need to be a resident of TL&C or in the Terraconserva roleplay, but you do need to pick a city from our map and assign it a mascot. If you need help with this, let us know.
Structure
Teams will be divided into an Ecros Division and Ostlandet Division based on their home cities, with Commissioners' discretion to ensure divisions are balanced Surian teams will be placed wherever is most convenient for division balancing, though in the event there is no balance need, they will be deferred to Ecros to reduce travel distance - we're a pro-environment league, after all.
This thread will be for league chatter, news, or whatever else released by the teams!
Let's have a fun season, all!

TL&C Madden 25 Team |

Madden NFL 25 is bringing back "team builder" mode, where you can create a new team from scratch including uploading your own logo, designing your own uniforms, and even custom creating a roster. For awhile this has been gone and you could only rebrand teams to pre-select options.
The game comes out the 16th, and I'll probably do some streaming in the server for it.
What mascot should the team have? I'll take the best suggestions and do a regional poll.
Who wants to be on the roster? Reply with a desired position + number and I'll put you in!

Regional Economy Idea |

Let's take a small break from Constitutional debates (more on this coming very soon) to discuss an idea that came up yesterday: reintroducing a regional economy.
For the unaware, the region used a Discord bot to have an economy of sorts (based on a fictional currency) in 2020. I'll break down the simple pros and cons of the system *as it existed then*.
- Pros: It generated a lot of activity for the server, people seemed to generally find it fun, arguably added some degree of culture/flavor to the region
- Cons: People were generally corrupt, it caused a few fights here and there, and the system it ran off of wasn't well defined so it went off the rails (see Kanjuura's comments about loan sharking, etc).
If we reintroduce it, I think we can combat most of the cons above by (a) the region being generally more mature than it was 4 years ago and (b) an actual system/regulation method.
The idea, if implemented, would revolve around a few things,
- A base salary of this fictional currency for people in roles to benefit the region (recruiter, LDF member, etc).
- Payouts for participation (recruitment telegrams sent, LDF ops attended, roleplay contests won).
- Minigames playable with this current (blackjack, etc).
- Purchaseable items (a Discord role color or icon, things of that sort?).
- A degree of regulation to prevent abuse of the system/people being taken advantage of in it.
So basically, with all of that in mind, I have a few questions I would like the Council Delegates to answer (in this thread, please).
- Are you interested in seeing this implemented?
- Do you like the way its outlined above? What would you change or add?
- Do you think this would help incentivize/drive regional activity and participation, or not really?

SPSF Promotions |

Hark, hear the llamas sing!
Here in the South Pacific, our Special Forces perform at an exceptional level. The cadre of Ensigns, Lieutenants, Captains, and Admirals that make up our defender military continue to turn out to updates and fight the good fight, day in, night out. Today (well, yesterday and the day before), two highly qualified individuals were promoted to their next rank, and we salute them for their service.
Lieutenant Vrigny
Quote:At the SPSF (South Pacific Special Forces), we are always looking for new officers to join our force, and our sitting Minister of Defense, Vrigny, has shown plenty of promise. First joining the SPSF in August 2022, he started more actively updating and participating in April 2024, getting promoted to an ensign later that month. He soon was nominated as Minister of Defense, overseeing an uptick in activity and training several new recruits. He has also been a reliable updater at minors, with more than 50 updates under his belt, most of which are in the last few months.
In his role as Minister of Defense, Vrigny has shown great ability in leading operations and rallying troops to liberations, with the SPSF consistently being among the top militaries, if not the top military, in liberation turnout. Vrigny has also recruited several new SPSFers and has kept morale high among the Force during his term.
As he has met the necessary promotion criteria, the Admiralty is proud to announce, with a unanimous vote, that Vrigny has been promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant of the South Pacific Special Forces.
Captain Concrete Slab
Quote:It is with great happiness we announce the promotion of one of the SPSF’s most prominent figures; who could even be given the title of “savior of the SPSF” thanks to all of his actions both during his time as Minister of Defense as well as his great commanding and leading skill as a lieutenant. I’m obviously talking about our great Concrete Slab! In fact, most of the SPSF’s officer corps today is composed of members recruited by him.
This is not surprising at all, considering that his skill to recruit new members to the SPSF is unmatched by many, if not all. When he served as Minister of Defense, he greatly expanded SPSF’s numbers. Slab’s recruitment during and even after his term was truly special. As a result of his great enthusiasm, many of his recruits regularly attended updates and liberations, and do so even to this day.
When talking about Slab, we shouldn’t forget about his most impressive merit. When he was still a mere soldier (the rank equivalent to ensign at his time), during the major update of 18 March 2023, he led the SPSF to its largest turnout in its long history, with a total of 24 SPSF members showing up to liberate England! These numbers were consistently high with other updates during the England campaign, and his efforts during the operation were the difference between victory and crushing defeat.
With all of this said, the Admiralty is extremely excited to proclaim that, after everything that he’s done, Concrete Slab truly deserves this promotion from a Lieutenant to the SPSF’s newest, and coolest, Captain!

Constitution proposal |

I made this package of bills as a sort of counter-proposal to the amendments proposed by Quebec on Discord. I know it all looks completely different, but the majority of the region is functionally exactly the same. I tried to patch up as many holes as possible, and I changed the structure of the government. I got rid of the separation of powers and put everything in one de jure bicameral legislature (Council on the bottom, Consulate on top), but it doesn't operate like a bicameral legislature at all. Only one vote takes place, and both houses vote at the same time. The way the Consulate exercises their veto is different as well; instead of just saying "this bill is vetoed," a majority of Consuls must vote against a bill for it to be vetoed.
Some other minor changes include a set of directions on how to move bills from debate to voting, and instructions on how to hold votes. I also introduced a Clerk position for the Council, which was notably missing from Quebec's proposal. I changed TRA to the "Department of Roleplay" because the way TRA is structured is reminiscent of the LCN rather than The League. I removed the Consulate power to unilaterally make changes to the Constitution. I also included instructions on how to allow new regions to enter if we decide to ever do that in the future. This way, we don't have to edit all of our laws.
I like the formatting, but I'm not super attached so if it becomes a problem I'll change it. I'm just not a fan of the current way we format our laws, and I'd rather type out Article x.x when citing our laws instead of Article x Section x.x, which is a mouthful. Still, fine with changing it.
The three bills that make up the package are available for comment here. Feel free to leave all your comments on this thread too. Questions are good too- everything is here for a reason and I'd like you to know that reason before deciding you don't like it.

Regional News
Presidential Election Won By UPC / Grea Kriopia Ticket, Run-Off Avoided
Facing down three competing tickets (Sincluda/Gem, JL/Prov, and Caldrasa/August) with a confident and proactive campaign, UPC/GK secured 68% of the votes on May 25th. The UPC/GK ticket ran on a themed platform, centering on Infrastructure, Visibility, and the ongoing Wars. Their main opponent, the Sincluda/Gem ticket which amassed 25% of the vote, ran a lively campaign with initiatives like the Livewire and a World Assembly counter-campaigning taskforce, while wanting to solve problems with the Navy and Foreign Affairs agreements they identified. There were 56 votes cast in total, a relatively low turnout compared to recent Presidential elections.
Europeia and Allies Party At Camp Anawanna
In the last weekend of May, Europeia was joined by allies from 10000 Islands, Balder, and The South Pacific at Camp Anawanna for some campfire songs, ghost stories, and training in advance of the Defender Olympics. The summer camp-themed event ran from May 23 to May 27 with popular events including a nation creation contest and the return of Amongus with other party games. Militaries from all regions also did joint training together in preparation for the upcoming Defender Olympics anticipated in July to brush up on their chasing and speediness in hopes of winning medals later on.
Two Senate By-Elections in May Prove Difficult For Senate Hopefuls
May was the month of Senate By-Elections after the unexpected resignation of Senate Speaker Lloenflys and planned resignation of Senator Southwestern Germany. Voters went to the polls twice; The first on May 11 as Gem, Prov, and Olde Delaware Jr vied for an open seat. Gem and OD locked into a run-off after defeating Prov handily and Gem emerged victorious after a late voting swing in their favor. The following election came May 29 in a more crowded field of Ambrella (Sopo), Industhan, PhDre, and Prov. Although Sopo entered the race last, he won victory handily with 62.8% of the votes to avoid a run-off. Congrats to the newly elected Senators!
Citizen Spotlight: Caldrasa
Returning Citizen Spotlights to the Office of the Vice Presidency once again, Vice President Grea Kriopia authored the first Citizen Spotlight of the term featuring one of Euro's up-and-coming young citizens, Empire of Caldrasa. Caldrasa joined Euro in March 2024 and has been hard at work in the Ministries of Outreach and Gameside on top of their bouncy social presence in the Euro server. Serving now as Deputy Minister of Outreach, Caldrasa has impressed the region with their eager spirit and will likely to continue to thrive as they learn and grow in their political career!
