In terms of the election, I join others in this region in supporting Wymondham for Secretary General, as he is no big game-created-region-supported candidate, nor a weird anime raider that is in front in the polls.

Hello, Thalassia! I just wanted to take a moment to make an announcement about the government. We have conducted a Cabinet Reshuffle due to the concurrent departures of Badivermeraed, Wymondham and, due to the passage of the EPA and the agreement of the Founder and I that the previous interpretation about the Executive not serving in cabinet to avoid a conflict of interest, Sho, from their Ministerial positions. I wish Bad, Wym and Sho nothing but the best moving forward and I thank them on behalf of Thalassia for their service.

I would also like to announce, first, that I have appointed Liruslau as the new Minister of Security! Their previous experience along with their work as the VP and Acting President makes them an eminently qualified candidate for the role and I have every confidence they will excel in the Security Ministry, let's welcome our new Minister! Next, with regards to the Ministry of Administrative Affairs, I will be leaving that vacant for the time being.

With regards to the Ministry of Information, I ask for interested candidates for the position to step forward to be interviewed for the position. Yes, that's right, this is your chance to become a Minister! If you are interested please Telegram me, Arenado, or PM me on Discord to let me know of your interest. Best of luck to all interested parties!

Next, with regards to the WA Delegate Election, that will be announced shortly.

Finally, with regards to the Sports RP, that will be back tomorrow! Thank you all and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

A friendly reminder to those of you who may be considering running for WA Delegate- due to the passage of the Executive Powers Amendment, the Delegate is does not function like the Presidency, which was abolished. It is not an executive position. The WA Delegate may participate in Cabinet only with the Prime Minister’s consent. They may offer advice but they do not have formal authority over government policy, as that is the Prime Minister’s purview. The WA Delegate represents Thalassia’s interests in the World Assembly and oversees any voting programs Thalassia would have for the WA. This was a program long neglected under the Presidency, and it is going to take an individual with tenacity to get these programs up and running- programs which will hopefully foster debate and will ultimately get our citizens more involved in these votes.

You can set your WA campaign filter in telegram preferences to either block all of them or only allow some.

Welcome to Thalassia! Read this dispatch to get informed:

Welcome to Thalassia!

Hello and welcome to the region of Thalassia, a seafaring bastion of freedom and democracy! We're so glad you've decided to join our community. This guide is for all new Thalassians, whether you are new to the game in general or just new to our region. Still have questions? Ask on the RMB/Discord or reach out to a member of our government!

Note: Some of the information in this dispatch may be out of date, but I try my best to keep it current! If you would like to suggest an edit or addition, please contact Sho.

Your First Steps

So you've just joined our region, you've answered your issues, and now you're not sure what to do next? Not a problem!

First things first... Have you blocked those pesky recruitment telegrams? If yes, perfect! Next question.

Now... Are you a member of the WA?

But Sho! Why should I join the WA? I'm glad you asked, theoretical other half of this conversation! Even though our citizens are not required to join the World Assembly or "WA", they should consider it because:

WA citizens have the right to vote on World Assembly legislation as well as participate in our regional referendums, run for a regional office, and to collect and give endorsements, which strengthen our region. And when you endorse our Delegate and Vice Delegate, you're giving our region more of a say on the world stage! You can also enroll in our endorsement program ThalassiEndos which encourages endorsement swapping, incentivized by prizes.

Obviously, to participate in this program, first you must be a member of the WA.

Next, you need to endorse the key 5. Our current Delegate, Zentata, and his Vice-Delegate, Ayeinc, ask that you not only prioritize endorsing them, but also the following nations: Owl archipelago, Arenado, and Sho. Though you are not required to, it’s important to consider for the security of our region! If you’re not endorsing these nations, you may be pinged periodically in The Vice-Delegate’s Mention as a reminder.

Finally, telegram Zentata and request to join “The Anchors”!

Now... Introduce yourself on Thalassia's RMB and become a part of our community. Consider Linkjoining our Discord. Request your spot on the map and start roleplaying. Perhaps write a factbook or two. NationStates is made richer by its users' imaginations! (back to top)

Rules And Regulations

Every game has its rules and every government has its laws. No one is exempt! Make sure you read these so you aren't caught unaware!

Please don't police the RMB. We have moderators for that! If you're experiencing an issue, reach out to an RMB Mod or any regional officer with "Border Control" permissions.

Thalassian Government

Roles of the Ministries

The Prime Minister oversees the Cabinet, comprised of four mandatory ministries (and any additional ones the incumbent Prime Minister may create for the term), which is appointed to assist with various regional programs and activities. Each ministry serves as an important cog in the machine that keeps this region running!

The mandatory ministries and their respective roles are:

  • Culture

    The Ministry of Culture is in charge of planning, managing, and moderating community events and activity, ranging from games to cultural enrichment to roleplay. They also manage the map of Thalassia, a crucial tool to regional roleplay.

  • Foreign Affairs

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs handles diplomacy with other regions and organizations. Members of this ministry serve as ambassadors to our embassies and integrate themselves into their communities, looking for ways to strengthen our relationship, whether through official or casual means.

  • Information

    The Ministry of Information ensures our citizens have access to important information and regional news. They oversee the integration of newcomers and maintain our regional newspaper. If you ever have a question, these are usually the people to ask- if they don't know, they'll point you to someone who should.

  • Security

    The Ministry of Security oversees the moderation and safety of our community, as well as the collection and management of intelligence necessary to the Thalassian government. 'Nuff said.

This administration’s current additional ministries and their respective roles are:

  • Administrative Affairs

    The Ministry of Administrative is a tool for the Prime Minister an his government to aid in advising and assisting the ministries in tasks that may be more cumbersome than their usual day to day duties. The Minister and Deputy of this non-staff Ministry are also tasked with the occasional community review to ensure the government is doing its best to serve the community.

  • Recruitment

    The Ministry of Recruitment is a nation’s first introduction to Thalassia - people who participate in this ministry reach out to new nations to introduce and recruit them to our region.

How to Join the Ministries

The Cabinet is requested to handle the recruitment for their ministries directly. Nations are encouraged to telegram the minister of the ministry they would like to partake in.

New citizens are encouraged to apply and build their resumes. Applicants may partake in more than one ministry, but the Prime Minister or a cabinet minister may dismiss you from a position if they believe you are spread too thin.

Note: The Ministry of Administrative Affairs, Ministry of Security, and Ministry of Recruitment are not currently hiring.

Hello, everyone, I just wanted to announce that the nomination period for the WA Delegate Election is now open! There will be a two day period for nomination followed by a two day period for campaigning and a three day period for voting. Best of luck to all candidates!

Toerana iii, Ayeinc, and Zentata

Hello Thalassia! We are at an unprecedented time in our region’s history. First, the resignation of Thalassia’s first president, Rockiberg. This triggered a special election where Pacifica’s former president, Cormactopia Prime, came out of his retirement to win the election, only to resign a month later. Those resignations and the passing of the EPA, have created a new chapter in Thalassia’s history.

But we have prevailed as a community through every bump in the road. And I believe it is time for us to elect a nation that brings this region the stability and strength it deserves. A nation that not only represents us on the international stage, but one that serves his/her full term.

I am running for World Assembly Delegate of this great region because we deserve so much than resignations and half-filled terms. So, join me and my campaign, once again, for the Thalassia we all deserve.

My campaign dispatch will be out around 6PM EDT (11PM UTC)

Thank you and Semper Thalassia!

Just thought I'd mention, that I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring and run for delegate.

Zentata

So. I'm running in this election. I'm running to bring you stability but not just that, no, I have more! I think that the WA has been neglected in Thalassia for far too long. I'm running to be a delegate that will make the WA play a bigger role in Thalassia. I will be open with my decisions as delegate, and encourage debate and discussion about proposals. I will establish a synergistic endo limit that enables the region to stay safe while keeping endo hunting viable, and I will encourage endoswapping via rewards programs to give y'all those wonderful endos! I've had tons of experience in this region, including being a member of 3 ministries, and the deputy minister of culture.

Please read my dispatch for more info on my campaign:

Zentata for WA Delegate!

Who Am I?

Hello there fellow Thalassian! My name's Zentata, and I'm running to be WA delegate. But Zentata, you may be thinking, what have you done in NationStates so far? Alright, here we go: I've been in Thalassia since November.I'm a member of the Ministries of Information, Culture, and Foreign Affairs. As part of my job for information, I've written articles in the wave page=dispatch/id=1328895#1. In Foreign Affairs I'm the ambassador to The Leftist Assembly, I'm the deputy minister of culture and the map operator. This experience has given me a unique insight into this region's WA dynamics, and how to improve them. In terms of my personal life, I like pizza, and the color purple but not purple pizza, I like to collect things, especially stamps, and I hate doxxers, and I do not live in Antarctica.

My Position in Politics and What I'm Going to do as The WA Delegate in Thalassia

Here I'm going to talk about how I'm going to vote in the WA, and how I'm going to promote involvement relating to the WA. I believe in freedom. I believe in political freedom, civil freedom and, for the most part, economic freedom. To put it in a simpler way, I'm a personal leftist, but an economic centrist, who thinks that the state should help people become better and regulate the economy while promoting economic freedom to an extent (in short, the WA). I think that climate change is a real issue, and should take top priority in politics, and that ensuring the ability for people to live a good life is the purpose of the GA. That means that I support legislation that will make the world a better place. If the legislation is flawed, unneeded, or goes against freedom in a way that will make the world worse, then it will have my vote against. My votes in the SC will be based on whether the recipient deserves/needs the act. Now for what I'm going to do in Thalassia itself.

I think that the WA needs to take a bigger role in Thalassia. We vote, but do we care? I'm going to do numerous things related to the WA in Thalassia, and all these ideas revolve around growing participation in Thalassia, here they are:

-Endo Swapping Program, called Thalassiaendos. This will encourage more endo activity in the region by giving out rewards to those who endorse the most, and will also improve regional influence and security while we're all getting those nice endos.

-Posting about WA proposals, and increased discussion. I plan to post a message on the RMB when I vote, explaining why I voted the way I did, and why you should vote this way too. If you think I'm voting in error, feel free to convince me to change. I will also make efforts to increase debate/discussion about proposals. In short, I want to be open with what I'm doing, and so I'm going to share with you, what, and why.

-I'll also be active in the WA community. I believe that a WA delegate should be able to write and be an active force in the WA community, so you can be sure that I'll represent Thalassia on the WA stage by doing those things. I'll conduct myself with sincerity and decorum, and show the world that Thalassia is more then it seems (in a good way).

-I WON'T RESIGN. You have been promised stability before, and you were failed. I promise you stability, but I'm not a semi-retired tired nation, or someone who won't talk out disagreements, I'm a nation whose career is just beginning, who has gotten the experience I need to lead you well.

-I'll take suggestions. Do you want me to do something more, something else in my domain? Then I'll be open to suggestions, and be open with the people of Thalassia.

-Synergistic endorsement limit. Do you know what happens when you don't have an endorsement limit? You can get people really close in endorsements to you, so if you resign, your vice delegate/president is not the second most endo'ed person in the region! This happened when cormac stepped down, and I was the first in Thalassia for endorsements until the government took action. This cannot happen again. As such, I'll institute a limit of 5 endorsements below my vice-delegate. This will prevent instability in the region.

-I will investigate joining a legislative league. Without a doubt, a sure way to improve our relations and standing in the world is to join a league, or create one ourselves.

Some Closing Words

Citizens of Thalassia! If you want a WA delegate who will interact with the people, who will be open with the people, who will help and learn from the people, who will represent the people the way they should be, and Who Will Not Let Down the People of this glorious region, then vote for Zentata. I have been endorsed in this election by two previous prime ministers,Badivermeraed, and Arenado. Thank you for reading my dispatch!

Please telegram me if you have any questions/suggestions, or wish for me to add a policy. Semper Thalassia.
