Texas Representative Council Per Article X: Texas Representative Council Texas shall freely elect a Regional Council. The purpose of the Council shall include: 1. To mediate any internal disputes that may threaten Regional peace, security or prosperity. 2. The make up of the Council shall include the Cabinet Members of Texas. Additionally, the number of Texas Representative Council seats shall be determined by the number of seats in the Texas Cabinet. To make sure that the majority is made up of TRC members and that there is always an odd number of seats, to prevent ties in voting, the following will occur: a. If there are an even number of seats on the Cabinet, then there shall be five (5) more TRC seats than Cabinet seats. b. If there is an odd number of Cabinet seats, then there shall be four (4) more TRC seats than Cabinet seats. New elections will be held quarterly for Council Members. 3. The Council will adjudicate any internal complaints and will assist in formulating reponses and courses of action in international affairs. 4. The council will preside in matters regarding breaches of the Texas Constitution. 5. Any Alliance approved by the Cabinet will be sent to the TRC for approval. If the vote of the full TRC is against the proposed alliance then the proposed alliance will be declined. 6. The Council shall make no law, nor pass any bills to collect revenue or make expenditures, but only deliberate and vote on resolutions of good will, recognition, and celebration. Additional duties will include welcoming new nations to Texas and being an Official Texas Goodwill Ambassador*. Current Members The Most Serene Republic of Blandings and Fenwick The NAZISM STATES of Crazy hell for war The United Polish States of Crosby-Huffman-Barret The Federation of Darth Kermit The Sith Temple of F799 The Field Marshall 's Protection of Germany-Logania The Train Gang of Green-ville The Rifle Corps of Hocolesqua The Modified Acceleration Engine of HotRodia The Slow Fatal Leaking of Intestinal Fluids The Jingoistic States of Irish Gryphons The Dominion of Legends Of Lambeau The Holy Republic of Monkey-wrenches The Confederate States of Ole Dixieland The Republic of Studly Penguins The Biker Gang Badlands of The Texas Nation The Colony of Viejo Austin * These are nations that are encouraged to welcome new arrivals to Texas and represent Texas when out in the world. Additionaly, they are responsible for keeping the NationStates board content fresh and current. Texans are free to nominate as many nations as they would like for these positions (within reason). Any Texan can nominate any other Texan who is a resident of Texas as of the date and time of the opening of the Elections (November 23, 2008). Nations are also free to nominate themselves. When it comes time for a vote, all voting Texans (in accordance with Article XII: Texas Elections) will have the ability to vote on 15 (11 Cabinet Members + 4) Texas Representative Council Members. This will be a tough vote! Note: Non-Registered Nations can make nominations, when you make you post, use your nation name. If you are making a nomination and are not a registered member, please notify NewTexas via telegram on NationStates to verify your intent. Voting is limited to current Texas nations only! If Big Tex is unable to verify your nomination, it will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding. Also Note: Texas Constitution Article XVIII: All Nominated Nations for a Cabinet position are Automatically Nominated for the Texas Representative Council. This is self-explanatory. Nations nominted for Cabinet positions do not need to be not need to be nominated for The TRC as well. And: There are a number of players who have multiple nations registered in this forum. You know who you are and chances are very high that the Texas Election Commission knows who you are too. It shall be considered "in bad taste" for one puppet to nominate another. Furthermore, and we know this goes without saying since all Texans are honorable, but we humbly request that players with multiple nations refrain from using their puppets to vote multiple times. Additononally, per Article XI: Conditions for Ejection Article 3, this is now a condition for being ejected. Remember, this is just a game for fun after all and stuffing the ballot box takes the fun out of the proceedings. Thank you in advance! Any questions or problems can be telgrammed to NewTexas in NationStates, via Personal Message on this board or by email: NewTexas. Have Fun!

Perhaps I just missed it, but if not, I'd like to formally nominate all current, living members of the TRC for re-election. Otherwise, I believe we would only have two fine non-cabinet individuals running! |

I am going to decline any nomination to the TRC.. mostly because I totally despise that huge icon that goes on the left hand side of every post made by a TRC member, and I really don't want that showing up on my posts. Thanks. |
