Amerion for Supreme Leader!!! |
The Celestial Union was couped, and you were in charge - how will you make sure this doesn’t happen again in TSP?
How will you champion defenderism as TSP’s figurehead in your term? What are your integration plans? Midwesterner. Political nerd. Chipotle enthusiast.

I believe it bears remembering that the dynamics of Lazarus in 2017 and the South Pacific in present-day are drastically different. Lazarus' Security Council* was in name only and our members did not actively—to our fault—endo-tart which meant that when the Head of the Government/Delegate, Funkadelia, mounted a rogue coup, the gap between the Council and the Delegate was so large that he needed only to banject the leading Council members (who were, if I recall correctly, Harmoneia and perhaps Loftegen). Contrastingly, the South Pacific's Council on Regional Security is comprised of active endo-tarters with several experienced members who maintain a close eye on the security environment. We are, as a region, much better equiped to handle any rogue Delegate. With that being said, we can, of course, do better and the Council has made tentative steps towards increasing our defences with the allowance of a second higher tier for the endorsement cap. This will ensure that in the future, we have a much larger field of nations who maintain high endorsement/influence numbers with which to mount a counter-coup. *Although I was not in government at the time of the coup, I was a member of the Security Council.

To answer these two questions, it is my opinion that these are largely policy areas which are the purview of the executive government. As such, I do not have specific agendas where these are concerned beyond what has been outlined in the campaign post. However, I also believe that the most tangible effect we can have to work towards our defender principles is to strategically exercise our influence in the World Assembly—which we are indeed presently doing under Delegate Aumeltopia—by stomping on proposals which run counter to our stated aims. OWL is critical in this regard as it will provide both the Delegate and the citizenry with informed opinions and I hope to work very closely with its staff to act on their recommendations.
While you're in the OWL server, you last posted there in March. How would you describe your relationship with the WA (the legislation/voting side, that is, not endorsements)? How would you view your relationship with OWL as delegate?

Admittedly, I have had little interest in the affairs of the General Assembly and, therefore, have not paid attention to any debates in the chamber. My voting pattern on such matters have skewed towards 'What are those baffoons in the World Assembly trying to do to destroy my lovely autocracy now?' and voting accordingly. As such, my fondness for legislating (in both the GA and the SC) has remained confined to the South Pacific. As I noted in the above reply to Prarie's questions, as Delegate, I will consult with the Cabinet and the OWL Secretary on which way to cast the vote.
