The Modern South Pacifican Ambassador
by Roavin

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador won’t bore the foreign citizens of their assigned regions with lengthy texts that nobody reads. Rather, they will give short and quick updates about the important events in the South Pacific, tailored in style to the intended audience, and engage with the citizens of those foreign regions to answer questions and drive interest.

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador won’t be isolated to one or more assigned regions. They will, as part of their duties, be frequent readers and, ideally active participants, of the wider NationStates Gameplay bazaar, and through that be imbibed with a working knowledge and understanding of the interregional political world.

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador won’t be left to self study the impact of what they are seeing. They will engage in active conversation with their colleagues, seasoned advisors of the Ministry, and the Minister about the meaning and significance of foreign events from all over the place, and thereby gain crucial intuition for judging and categorizing what is happening.

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador won’t keep the information they gather to themselves or a select few bureaucrats within the Cabinet. They will actively bring updates from their assigned regions to the South Pacific for consumption by its citizens, and keep public informational documents on their assigned regions up-to-date.

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador won’t be clueless about how to talk to foreign diplomats, or about correct decorum in diplomatic discussions. They will be part of these discussions whenever possible to see first-hand how these things work and, given their intimate knowledge of both the South Pacific and the other region, be uniquely qualified to participate.

The modern South Pacifican Ambassador is a Minister-In-Training. Any one of them that has performed their duties for some length of time will have all the skills, tools, and wisdom required to become the next great Minister of Foreign Affairs.
