The South Pacific

Hi! I’m current Vice Delegate Kringalia and I’m here because I want the honour of serving as your Delegate. I’m very excited and eager to do this, especially since I have my very good friend Escade running as my Vice Delegate.

We have been working together ever since we both first got involved in regional governance and we work well as a team. We both highly value this community and the wonderful people that we’ve met along the way. You are the reason why we are here and why we are so interested in helping the South Pacific grow and blossom as a region.

We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue doing our best to make the South Pacific a warm, inviting and active region, and for that we have thought of the following:

COMMUNITY

This term we’ve seen our RMB burst with activity and our forum vibrant with posts in many different areas, both political and fun. We’ve used the poll system and themed WFE to create excitement and activity and will continue trying new creative ways to keep TSPers coming back for more. We have also worked hard to promote role plays, games, and discussions and are happy to see people getting engaged in our lovely community.

We plan to go through with the South Pacific Interregional Games and to organize more cultural festivals with our allies, we want to work on Market Street and develop housing districts, keep making Resident Spotlights to highlight all the interesting and delightful members of our community, share advice, focus on how to showcase our talents and interest, and as always the pursuit of friendships.

STRENGTH

Our foreign and security policy has evolved over time. We continue to emphasize pursuing closer and stronger relations with our current allies as well as beefing up our internal security to prevent any instability.

During this term we held confidence building meetings with TNI and talked about organizing more joint missions. We held cultural festivals with Europeia and Kantrias, and signed a treaty with the latter. We began repairing relations with Osiris, one of our former allies. We want to keep having contact with all these regions, and to deepen our alliances with them.

We will also continue to create links with other regions, to broaden the scope of our current relationships. Friendly discourse between regions is a must. It may not always be the easiest option, but friendship and cooperation leads to improvement not just within our region, but also with our relations with the wider world of NationStates.

Part of building a successful community is trusting people by giving them the opportunities to contribute their ideas and strength to the community, and we have done this by doubling the size of the Committee for State Security, and we encouraged more nations to apply for adviser and deputy jobs. This lets the TSPers know that the opportunities are there for them to be part of the change they want to see in the region.

We see the South Pacific as an exemplary community where great people have gathered to give their very best. This is a community where everyone can feel safe and find their place. That is what makes this region truly the best in NationStates, and one that Escade and I want to help improve even more.

We welcome your questions and feedback, and appreciate your support.

Peace and love,

Kris and Escade

I've recommended that they deploy you to the New Inquisition as a Diplomat, but I doubt that they'll listen to me.

I would probably wait until I can send mass telegrams and address the region, to explain what our plans are for the next four months and invite them to be a part of those plans.

Why have you and Escade switched places on the ticket?

If you can make one specific change during your term what would it be? And how would it be accomplished?

What do you see as the greatest weakness of this region abroad, especially in its fellow GCRs?

I want to thank both Bel and SB for their questions. Like I've told some people, I really like when people ask questions because it makes us candidates questions whether we are the right people for the job. I hope I'm doing good so far.

Bel:
Escade and I wanted to keep working together but she wanted to focus on some specific projects, mainly related to promoting our regional culture. She suggested that I should run for Delegate this term and my one condition was that she be there to support me.

Southern Bellz:
One specific thing I would want to change is making sure that people know they have a chance at getting involved in our regional community and that we'll welcome their ideas. It's very important to encourage new generations of players to get involved and help us change this community for the better. If we change how welcoming we are, then all other important things will follow.

One way to do that is to encourage people to step up and advise us on the changes they would like to see in the region or directly work on those changes, for example by creating their own civic organisations. We also want to encourage minister to hire and train deputies, so that they will gain important experience in those jobs.

The main idea here is to let people take the initiative if they feel up to it, and if they don't know where to start, then they should know that we are here to help them enact change. As Delegate and Vice Delegate we have learned how to plan and enact a broad agenda and we want to share what we've learned with whoever is interested.

Do you agree with Rebel that the region is in dire need of less drama and more discussion?
