Here is our June update!
![[Image: prQisR0.png]](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/391548837266980873/686784873679421440/prQisR0.png) Foreign Affairs Update: June 2020 Delegate: Bran Astor Guardians: The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, Dalimbar, Fujai, Big Bad Badger, Recuecn Ministries: Ministry of Cultural Affairs: Minister: Fujai Deputy Minister: Recuecn Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Minister: Dilber Deputy Minister: Mystic Skies (Mia) Ministry of World Assembly Affairs and Recruitment: Minister (acting): Nieubasria Deputy Minister: The Unified Missourtama States TWPAF Commander: Overthinkers Speaker of the Hall of Nations: Giovanniland Chancellor of UTWP:The Holy Principality of Saint Mark May Elections Our first round of elections for the year took place over May 19th to 22nd on the regional forums, with voting open to all citizens of the region. In conclusion, this was a great election cycle, with many interesting ideas for the ministries and the Hall of Nations. It is worth noting that the voter turnout was also the highest of recent cycles, with 57 valid votes in most elections. This is over 50% of our Hall of Nations. Furthermore, there were no positions with only one candidate, which shows increased interest from members in being part of the government. The region hopes that further voting seasons have even more activity, and that more members decide to try and run for positions! Results: Speaker of the Hall: Giovanniland (Elected)- 43 Zoran - 14 Deputy Minister of Cultural Affairs: Recuecn (Elected)- 29 Fuentana - 28 Deputy Minister of World Assembly & Recruitment: The Unified Missourtama States (Elected)- 26 Saransh - 15 Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: Mystic Skies aka Mia (Elected) - 33 Gryphonian Alliance - 8 Varanius - 16 TWP-Osi Prom ![[Image: GBOT9pp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/GBOT9pp.png) A night to remember couldn’t be forgotten as students swarmed West Osi High School (WOHS) for a night of dancing, shenanigans and to dance their feet away. In the auditorium, performances ranged from “Don’t Stop Believing” from Journey to a rendition “Phantom of the Opera” performed by Wym and Zoran left the audience moved to tears. There was silence as the audience could appreciate the emotion packed into each musical arranged and delivered by Wym. The dance floor saw many fail attempts, smooth moves and even matches that could have been a competition for TWP’s Next Best Dancer if the band room hadn’t been full of misplaying instruments. The library was set on fire with some nerds escaping the loud dance floor, and shens on the 2nd floor rest room ranged from graffiti of love packed floors to swirlies from some bullies that will remain unnamed. Thanks to the chaperones (or maybe no thanks?), the punch went unspiked but one particular delinquent was sent to the principal’s office after he toilet papered Vice Principal Berenson’s office. Many toes were broken, tears were shed as graduating seniors said their goodbyes, rambunctious teenagers left their mark on the yearbook, couples posed for their favorite memories of lasting dances with bruised toes and graceful movements, immortalized to us by our Principal Bran. The packages were quite popular and my date, Dilber and I opted for a smashing photo. I’ve always worn the pants in that relationship and it was no surprise that Dilber showed up in his best prom dress while I made a stunning appearance in my straight laced suit and tie. No prom night is complete without superlatives, yearbook memories and a warning from your principals of course. The quad was full of late night football memories, Osi and TWP students dancing away, even singles were seen busting their best moves across the floor. Interviewing the smooching couples proved to be dangerous to this reporter so I opted instead for the safety of the bleachers under the full moon. I, of course, being the teacher’s pet I am decided to spend most of the prom in the library dutifully recording memories from the safety of papercuts and the janitor from hell, Badger, could be heard lamenting about those “bloody kids” from the flooded toilets. The flashing cameras, music could be heard blasting everything from the crab rave to slow night dances with broken toes as people misstepped on their partner’s toes. At the end of the night, Sho from Osi and Teralyon were announced Prom Queen and Prom King and they took to the dance floor for the royal dance of the evening as festivities wound down. The last motion of the evening was announced by the superlatives as sobs came from seniors and possibly from TUMS’ detention after he was sentenced to writing “I will not toilet paper the principal’s office” a hundred times as eager students hoping to be named or unluckily named in the titles of year of 2020.

Preamble
The New Pacific Order, as represented by the Emperor, His Senate and the Charter of the New Pacific Order, hereby enters into this accord as the sole legitimate government of the Pacific, Bran Astor, his Manner of Governance, and rightfully chosen successors hereby enter this accord as the sole legitimate government of The West Pacific. Article I - Cultural Exchange In general, interregional events and collaboration between signatories will be actively encouraged and supported. In particular, the signatories commit to the creation of a calendar of dates reserved for bi-regional and multiregional events within thirty days of ratification, to be adjusted as needed, and dedicate the wholehearted effort of their government to actualize such events. Article II - World Assembly In general, signatories will discuss World Assembly proposals and votes, and will work towards both regions’ interests in the World Assembly when possible. Neither signatory shall be forced to vote against their interests. In particular, a joint task force shall be established within the first 30 days post-ratification with the intention of creating joint resolutions and repeals for both the Security Council and General Assembly. Joint military operations to disrupt quorums are expressly sanctioned. Article III - University In general, signatories will collaborate, exchange citizens, and promote knowledgebase learning within universities and cultural events. The signatories will promote mutual development of key resources, leadership knowledge, and appreciation of the other’s unique cultural strengths. In particular, key exercises and exchange programs will be conducted to celebrate and advance each signatory's diversity and success. Such exercises shall begin to be phased-in within 45 days of ratification. Article IV - Mutual Defense Mutual defense shall be provided against hostile regions or organizations engaged in attempted sabotage, blackmail, or espionage upon request of either signatory. Intelligence concerning the other signatory shall be shared. In particular, information from any source of an attempt to harm or that is engineered to harm the other signatory is expected to be shared. Intelligence not concerning the other signatory is recommended to be shared when prudent. Where a signatory is a treaty ally to a region or organization engaged in hostilities or aggression with the other signatory, opting for neutrality is explicitly allowed. All intelligence sharing requirements remain in force in the case of such neutrality. The defense of a signatory will be made priority of the other signatory in the event of a third party attempt to overthrow either signatory. This explicitly includes a re-evaluation of neutrality due to a pre-existing treaty option of neutrality. Article V - Military Cooperation Joint operations will be conducted in interest of furthering good relations, encouraging increased military experience, and to cooperate in a spirit of goodwill. Both signatories acknowledge their respective ideological preferences. In general, neither signatory will censure the other for participation on an opposing side of an operation, nor will either signatory pressure the other for support of an operation against the working preferences of its military. Operations initiating or supporting deliberate hostilities against the other signatory shall be actively avoided. Also in particular, signatories agree to keep the military intelligence of the other classified and will not share without consent. Article VI - Termination This accord may be terminated by either signatory at any time. This accord shall remain in effect for two full days (forty-eight hours) following notification of cancellation. Notification will be given privately to the opposite signatory's government. This accord will sunset one year after ratification, unless both parties agree to continue the provisions of this accord for another year. Article VII - Amendment & Ratification The signatories may by simple agreement modify any provisions of this accord. By the signatures below, this accord is ratified: East Durthang, Emperor ![[Image: uIIG877.png]](https://i.imgur.com/uIIG877.png) The Seeker of Power, Consul Xoriet, Legatus Bran Astor, Delegate ![[Image: xBs7443.png]](https://i.imgur.com/xBs7443.png)
