It's election time again
Right now, in this election,
We have a chance to protect
Peace, Freedom, and Democracy
Right here in the South Pacific
That can be accomplished
By voting for Qvait

We, the Valkyrian Republic, pledge our undying allegiance to the South Pacific and to the Valkyries who fight to protect the realms. As Delegate, I will fight tirelessly to protect and defend peace, freedom, and democracy in the South Pacific and will promote these principles abroad. A resident of this region since 2014, I have seen many faces come and go, but I have remained a constant figure within the South Pacific. This region is a place of refuge from instability and strife, a place of integrity and virtue, a place of fun and happiness, a place of friendship and family, and most importantly, home for many nations of NationStates. Also, as Delegate, I will fight for the rights of marsupials and will be uncompromising in that regard. Any region or nation that speaks hatefully toward marsupials will not be welcome to the South Pacific and if blood must be spilt in the pursuit of peace, freedom, and democracy, so be it. We will fight for what is right and will continue to do so until the marsupial kind are free from oppression and discrimination. That is my promise to the South Pacific and the world.

My agenda is simple: I will fight for equal rights for marsupials here in the South Pacific and elsewhere. I will look to build a multiregional coalition in this effort. When it comes to resolutions in the World Assembly, I will back greater rights and freedoms with a social democratic philosophy, commend the actions of other defender realms interested in protecting and defending universal rights and freedoms, and reject the tyrannical practices of raiders who seek to undermine the very principles that we hold dearly. I will promote participation on the regional forum and Discord. We have a forum, but only a small circle of politicians, roleplayers, and spammers even contribute to it. I want to change that. I want to make our regional forum more popular and active than any of the other forums that regions have. We have a chance to become the greatest region in all of NationStates. Let's seize the day and realise our potential.

Delegate news | Qvait runs for delegate
By Allie Vega, KTN News
Sunday, 7 July 2019

"I know nothing."

Government Island (KTN) — "I'm gonna cut to the chase. Like Jon Snow, I know nothing. I have no political experience whatsoever and know nothing about the politics of the South Pacific. I've been a part of this region for five years and I have nothing to prove to you that I am even qualified to become delegate of a region that comprises 5,890 nations, the second-most in all of NationStates only behind The North Pacific. For those of you who know me, I've dedicated all my time in the region on the forumside roleplay. Ever since I started high school, I took up the hobby of writing because it was fun. So, that's who I am."

"You're possibly asking yourself, 'Why is this idiot running for delegate?' To be honest with you, I don't really know why I'm doing it either. A few years ago, I oftentimes ran for craziest person in TSP, but failed at every attempt. Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe it's because I have more tenure in this region than most people. There are only 105 nations in the South Pacific who have been a part of the region longer than me. I've seen people come and go, but I've always been around to mindlessly vote in all of these elections. As a legislator, I recently took up an abstentionist position on every vote that came my way (with the exception of one) because I know nothing."

What would you do as delegate? If anything, I'll probably be the worst delegate in the history of TSP because I know nothing. I'll probably throw a party every now and then on the RMB and shamelessly promote participation on the forumside RP. Imma be honest with you all, I'd probably usurp the authority of every elected official in TSP without even knowing it because I know nothing. I'll probably be removed from office for crimes that I probably committed but I'd be acquitted because I know nothing. So, as you all carefully look at your choices for delegate, just remember that I know nothing.

Other unnecessary information:

World Assembly nation: Qvait
Past regions: European Union, Canada

As a legislator, I'll likely begin contributing to discussions at the Assembly and finally break away from may abstentionist policy.

If you are elected, what do you plan on changing or implementing during your term?

For starters, I would look toward promoting forumside participation. I want to increase activity on politicking and roleplay on the forum. TSP has come a long way in the last few years, but I remember that there were times when parts of the forum were dead. South Pacific University is an example of this. Two years ago, it was a popular part of the forum, but now rarely does anyone post there. I want that to change and so I want to promote the forum on the gameside.

Policy idea: I want to build upon the successes of SWAN and expand it to acknowledge all of the nations of TSP who have an account on the regional forum and actively participate.

Per your new statement, does this mean you'd work to undermine the legitimate government of TEP?
