The The Convention on Off Site Property Security (C.O.P.S.) Treaty

This was passed with 100% of the votes and reads as follows:

Quote:
 
The Convention on Off Site Property Security


Preamble:

We, the undersigned, disgusted with the inexcusable practice of forum crashing and its attendant evils, wish to use this treaty as a means to work for the eradication of the practice.

Definitions:

Crashing: any action which could cause a forum to go out of service or lose information, including: the deletion of posts, the deletion of the forum, spamming, or any other act of this kind.

Legal: In accordance with the rules of Nationstates as set out on the site.

Off-site property: Any forums, websites or Wiki pages owned or maintained by a Nationstates nation, organization or region.

Signatories: The regions and nations who sign and the organizations on whose behalf they sign the treaty.

Spamming: Any action undertaken by non-region nationals to waste space on forums or to cause forums to crash. This includes any attempts to force a DOS error on forums and any attempts to flood the RMB of a region which is not your normal abode.

Phishing: Any attempts to gain forum controls or passwords by deception, especially by posing as administrators or moderators.


I

We, the undersigned, do agree to adhere to all the regulations set out below and do hereby accept the right of all nations, regions and alliances to create and maintain off-site property without hindrance, annoyance or any behaviour which could prevent the free exercise of this right. We commit to specifically refrain from all forms of forums crashing, spamming and phishing and condemn these acts as illegal and destructive. We also agree that no such act shall be ordered, condoned or accepted as legal by us or those nations and regions whom we represent and influence.

II

We agree that proper geopolitical requirements and cooperation are a key to preventing those who engage in acts proscribed in this treaty from continuing to do so. Signatories to this treaty agree to multilateral cooperation and further agree to enact laws against acts proscribed in this Treaty on a regional or organisational basis as one of the requirements for full membership. To fulfill the second requirement of membership we further agree that nations and entities that engage in these acts will gain no safe haven in member regions and organizations. To that effect we assert the right of all members to bring charges and try those that engage in these acts within their court system.

III

In order to be a member of this Treaty, a prospective member region or organization must meet the above requirements of Section II, ratify it within their region or organization and send a legal signatory to post their acceptance of the Treaty terms within the ACCEL and TWP areas where the original Treaty will be held in trust for all member regions and organizations. This treaty shall be binding and shall remain in effect from the time a signatory is added to the list, to the time they post a request to leave the Treaty. While the decision of a signatory to leave this treaty shall be unfortunate, it shall not be construed as support for, or intention to commit any of the acts condemned in this treaty. This treaty shall be considered supplementary to and not a replacement for any treaty in force between any and all of the signatories.

IV

Given the scope and purpose of this treaty, signing the treaty does not necessarily mean that signatories are in political or diplomatic agreement on any other matter bar the matters attended to in the text of this treaty. It is the hope of the signatories that, given that forum crashing may affect regions of all sizes and political views, this treaty shall be signed by as many regions and organizations as possible. Any and all signatories are hereby granted the right and encouraged to invite others to sign this treaty.


A Resolution to the Addarow Situation

The following issue had the votes sitting at 63.6% AYE and 36.4% NAY

Quote:
 
We the Government of The West Pacific

After being shown insurmountable evidence in support of charges of Forum Destruction, we have found Addarow  and his know alias’ DIA Major General of Argone, StarCraft, PhantomStare, EnCrypted Death, EnCrypted, Sotaki Unsia, and High King Addarow and any other aliases, with full malice and intent destroyed the off-site forum of the region The Praetorian Empire.

We find this deplorable behavior to be in the worst taste of this and every other region no matter the allegiance and to be the worst action one can perpetrate in the game.

We declare Addarow and any other persona's he uses as ‘Enemy of the Game’ and ask that all regions in this game declare him persona non grata. No region can support or even condone his actions and we as a game must stand firm against those who wish to indiscriminately destroy the hard work of all those who contribute to creative process that is the offsite forum.

As his list of aliases grow, we will continue to update this resolution with the most current information


Amendment to the Judicial Code

This amendment, deal with contempt of Court, reached quorum and passed 100% AYE and one ABSTAIN.

Quote:
 
VII - Contempt of Court

2. Any sitting justice may find a nation to be in contempt; the nation may appeal to the full panel of all three Justices whose determination of a contempt citation shall be final and binding.

3. Nations cited for contempt may be made subject to any rule or procedure which the Court deems necessary to ensure justice and the orderly operation of Court business; such rules or procedures shall be agreed by a majority of the justices and shall become effective immediately, even if an appeal is lodged.

4. Nations found in contempt of court may be barred from participating further in court business, for a fixed or unlimited duration

5. Nations found in contempt of court may additionally be awarded a further penalty in accordance with VI, 7 of this code. Any additional penalty awarded must be deemed appropriate by all three serving justices.

6. Any rule or procedure imposed under paragraph 3 or any penalty imposed under paragraphs 4 and 5 may be appealed within 48 hours to the First Minister; an appeal related to paragraphs 4 or 5 will cause the penalties so imposed to be held in suspense until the appeal is resolved.

7. Upon the appeal of any imposed rule or penalty for contempt, the First Minister may with explanation
i. summarily sustain the Court imposed rules and/or penalties;
ii. directly modify the rules and/or penalties, but only by reducing the term or degree.

The West Pacific moves on in glorious lockstep, well mostly, in adherence to the NTO, New TAO Order. In keeping with our glorious leader’s megalomaniacal obsession with putting his name on everything we have issued stencils and spray paint to all members of the Town Council and the Senate to emblazon all regions and nations in the NS universe that we come across with the logo NTO everywhere. We bow to the grandeur of the NTO and so shall you all!!

TAO's Image Emblazoned on UN Walls

Speaking of the NTO the West Pacific Senate is in process of rubberstamping the re-election of TAO as First Minister and UN Delegate for our glorious Republic. There has yet to have been a negative word murmured by the awed Senators in this foregone coronation of TAO’s majesty.
Posted Image
In other Senate news a new Charter organizing and streamlining those ancient bodies’ processes has been passed. Debate on the Charter was often times detailed and laborious as each nation’s Senator strove to protect their sovereignty from their suspicions of an overly detailed bureaucracy. In the end the Charter passed and it has initially been quite popular with the nations of the West Pacific as they look to the Senate to protect them into the future as they have so often in the past. The Senators of the Republic serve The West Pacific and the NTO.

Posted Image
The Town Council’s role in representing non Senatorial nations in The West Pacific continues in its dynamism and their responsibilities only grow as they morph into a more important and highly regarded institution within the West Pacific community. The Mayoral robes recently passed to Kingsteck from Seeberg as the peaceful transition of power within the West Pacific continues its tradition.
Posted Image
The Courts of the West Pacific recently confirmed the summary banjection of the nation Ramaba, often known as Govinda, by Delegate TAO from the West Pacific region. This move was approved by the West Pacific Senate as detailed in the Constitution of the region. According to TWP’s constitution the Delegate may eject any nation which may be approved by the Senate prior to said ejection or after. Since the Senate was not in session at the time of the ejection the Court ruled the ejection legal, it further ruled that since the Senate approved the ejection upon its reconvening that further fulfilled constitutional muster.

June - 2008 Reflections in the Rain

In Japan the rainy season is just starting! It’s pouring everyday! It almost makes one feel cabin feverish! But that’s ok; there is always TWP which has been calming down since last month! It is the perfect time for looking back, and that is this issues theme, the past!

Getting to the groove

The new leaders have positioned themselves in their niches and those who use staffs have been working hard at rebuilding their teams since the last minister’s reign. New methods are being put into place, and we are getting ourselves back into our niches….

Same ol Same old

As we step back into the niches of old habit we find ourselves returning to old problems that have been merely waiting for the dust to settle. The cleaning of last month has revealed some interesting stains that use to be covered with dust or old laundry!

Thread Necromancy has been prevalent as Frozen Wasteland sifted through all forms he could find to read up on all of the old news and drama, bringing forth topics into light that had died out months to years back! Most confused citizens took a week or so to get used to this method but Frozen Wasteland ensures us that everything he does he does because he thinks that it is important.

With the first ejection of our new Delegates reign we also had a small problem dug up by one freedom and pride, demanding proof of contacting an endo tarter and gatherer who had exceeded the endo cap. Due to unclear lines of actions brought forth by this event, our CJ Cave Canem reminded us of a previous ruling from the Case of Ramaba VS TAO that dictated the courts concern over this uncertainty.

The talks are still going on, but we hope to have this matter solved quickly as to not delay further ejections should their need arise.

Blasts from the Past

KaS! The big orangutan is back! With Ooks everywhere! In partnership with the Ministry of Interior KaS has been working hard at getting the TWP CommRangers back up and effectively working again. So far the success rate is large with recruits, but the activity on the RMB seems to only have changed slightly! Good look KaS!

Speaking of things of old, it doesn’t get any older than this! (pardon to our old residents) During this month we had the return of Berhampore! An old resident of TWP, who has been MIA for ages! Well, not exactly missing, RL stole him. Although so far he has only stopped on the forum for what appears to be a quick hello due to his internet … well something blew up ^^;…. we look foreword to seeing him around a lot more in the future! Welcome back Berhampore!

Town Council is growing up!

The Newest sector of government the Town Council has officially gained its independence. With this new move, a change to the Charter of the TC has already been proposed! Mayor Ham (on the rotating Mayor list) has been overly enthusiastic and the TC has been fairly active.

Badges? We don’t need…Ooo Pretty.

The Admin staff has been hard at work in the shadows of TWP, maintaining the forum is hard work and our Admin Staff make us all feel lucky that we have them around. The largest change to the forum in the past month was the addition of new badges! Historically the Admins, Ministers and Members all had their own badges (Red Green and Brown respectfully). However a new set to go along with the newly cleaned up masks were just released! The Senate members now sport classy teal badges, and Town Councilors proudly bear their royal purple badges! The Delegate even has a nice dark blue badge!

During the first week of June a new set of badges was released specifically for Immigration staff, it is pink and green mixed, and is rather stylish!

The badges that have been around since the previous forums, gaining a new flare have been a big hit in TWP, and remind us again how glad we are to have such great admins!

WA Work

In a hopeful attempt at making official a task that he has been doing as a volunteer for ages, Kryptopolis has yet again proposed his WA Affairs Commission act. This isn’t the first time such a document was brought forth, and like last time, due to it being ignored by the creator itself, it has been fairly inactive. Many questions lie unanswered, and no change in opinion has been made. It appears that at this rate nothing will get done in this regard.

WAR

The first time TWP has gone to war in a stance that was not defending happened recently as a reaction to Global Union of Nations purposefully slanderous words about TWP, and attack of prominent member KickingandScreaming on the 27th of May. With full approval of the Council of Ministers both the WPLF and BSS moved in to over threw the delegate of the region. As of June 1st, the WPLF, BSS and allied forces from The Pacific had successfully gained the delegacy. The region was to be held by our forces until an apology has been given by the region on behalf of this insult.

In The West Pacific, declarations of war are decided in the CoM without the need to be approved by the Senate. In TWP, the Ministry of Defence has two branches which is led by Kaze Hikari as the current Minister of Defence. The WPLF, or West Pacific Liberation Force is our defending force led by Kaze Hikari, and the Black Sheep Squadron is our invading force lead by Anarchy Wolf. Both work hand in hand to ensure the safety of our region and our allies. We would like to thank the Pacific, One Big Island and Gatesville for their help/back up/additional man power. We are very grateful for your efforts.

After Gatesville moved in and it was clear that the two idiots in question were not going to apologize, the sane members of the region created a new one and left. Being victorious, the troops with drew, leaving the region in the hands of a native to ensure that such insanity no longer occurs.


New old policy

All of you should have received a little note from us explaining that we have a new policy concerning inactivity! This policy really isn’t new; it is a play off an old one that wasn’t too horribly enforced. However Minister Schwarzschild decided it was best to refresh it and make sure all of our allies were informed.

So remember to pop over to The West Pacific at least once every two months (we hope more!) and let us know how you are doing, and what you are up to!

Come for the report stay for the fun! You don’t need to only check the Embassy when you are here, ya know? We have many opportunities for normal members like our allies ambassadors to be able to talk and play around our forum, such as the comedy zone which homes most of our word games, and a quiz central where all of our fun and silly quizzes from across the internet are stored! You can take one; add to our collection or both!

Since there is really nothing scary about paying us a visit we hope to see you around from time to time!

Looking to the Future

Freedom and Pride in a stroke of brilliance resigned his position as our Immigration Minister, pending the results of an upcoming election. He does this because his life is growing far to busy in Real Life in yet another example of why we all need to BANJECT RL! With his resignation the position is open for who will next fill it. We will happily announce the victor in our next edition, or feel free to pop your head in over here to check for yourself!

As F+P leaves office, a change will occur, the next Immigration Minister will take on the task of integrating RMB spam busting/ activity into the roles of the ministry per a recent amendment to the vivification of Ministers, that moved this role from the care of the Interior Ministry, to the Immigration. The hope of the legislation was to aide both ministries by allowing Immigration access to the RMB, and removing the divide in the Interior Ministry so that it can focus more on keeping forum activity high.

This amendment passed on the 13th of June with --% Aye and --% Nay.

Passing into Oblivion

The Vivification of Ministers has always sported a role for a Justice Minister. However in history no one can recall having ever needed to elect one. Feeling that this was thus a silly thing to keep on our Vivification if we weren’t using it, it was passed on the 13th of June as well, an amendment that removes the position.


Being Discussed….

Constitutional Amendment – The CoM

For those familiar with TWP’s Electoral system, you will recall that our Delegates are elected every 3 months pending a review by the senate to see if there needs to be a new Delegate, or if we are happy with the current. The CoM voted internally to propose an amendment to this process, feeling that the previous one was not as effective for a leadership position. The Current legislation being discussed is as follows:

Quote:
 
A.Procedure for Calling an Election

1. Every third[/size]fourth month of the First Minister's term, the Senate shall hold a review and election for the position of First Minister/Delegate's performance.
2. Following review, the Senate shall vote to decide whether or not to hold elections, requiring a simple majority to pass.
3
2. The Senate may vote to decide whether or not to hold elections at any other time should a motion calling for elections receive an appropriate second.



Third vivification Change – Schwarzchild

This would technically be the 4th change to the vivification in the month, but the first, having been much earlier, the three in a row end with this current one. This one actually addresses an addition to the first Amendment, with the ‘or 2 months’ requirement added as a new requirement to become minister, and thus allowing more access to those who are not in the senate, in order to become minister.

Currently Ham has his name up for Immigration Minister due to this previous change.

The current amendment being discussed looks as follows:

Quote:
 

III - Minister Appointment/Election Responsibilities

1. Senate Elected - The following Ministers will be elected by the Senate from the membership of the Senate and those members not in the senate whose activity in that ministry exceeds 2 months.
a. Minister of the Interior
b. Minister of Immigration
2. First Minister Appointed - The following positions are appointed by the First Minister
a. Minister of Foreign Affairs
b. Minister of State Security
c. Minister of Defense
d. Attorney General

^Current
___________________________________________________________________________


Amendment to the Vivification (Authored by Schwarzchild, Co-sponsored by the Faeyas and Tresville)

(Proposed revised version)

III. Minister Appointment/Election Responsibilities

1. Senate Elected- The following Ministers will be elected by the Senate from the membership of the Senate, the Town Council and those not in either body whose activity in that ministry meets or exceeds 2 months. All candidates and nominees for these posts must have a national population of at least 100 million regardless of body membership or length of service in a ministry.

a. Minister of the Interior
b. Minister of Immigration

2. First Minister Appointed- The following positions are appointed by the First Minister

a. Minister of Foreign Affairs
b. Minister of State Security
c. Minister of Defense


And of course we are still discussing how to go about approving ejections and banning by the delegate, progress is being made, but no specific legislation has officially been brought forth. We hope to have the matter resolved soon.

Fun in the land of history!

Ok so this is still report like, but it is just so cool at the same time. Recently suggested to the Admin Team, Clockwork Isle wants to create a university for TWP. This university, once established, will host classes not only on NS matters, but RL matters as well. We have no idea when the University will be up and functioning, but we look foreword to it in the future.

Summary

Interesting notes

1. The Region is getting comfy for the months to come.
2. Rampant thread Necromancy.
3. Berhamphore and KaS come back!
4. Badges are cool
5. CommRangers/RegionRangers are coming to a TWP RMB near you.
6. We went to War with GuN and WON!
7. Uni for TWP?

Senate junk
1. Discussing how to and when to approve Ejections and bans made by the delegate
2. The Town Council has gained independence
3. FA ministry now requires that all Allies give us some report of how you are doing every 2 months or risk the removal of your embassy from our forum.
4. F+P Resigned as Immigration Minister, we are working on elections to fill his shoes.
5. The role of RMB spam clearing and Activity is now in the capable hands of the immigration Ministery.
6. The Minister of Justice was stricken from the list of ministers out of being obsolete.
7. We are considering a change to the delegate/FM election process.
8. Now that the TC is independent we are discussing adding them to the list of candidates able to become minister.

I would like to apologies for my extended abscence. My Mom had a very bad accident which caused her to have major burns and a massive stroke. She is recuperating and is recognizing people now. Also, My anorexia came back and I had to go to the ER. The folks there said if I had waited and hid it for much longer my heart and kidneys would have failed since they were already on the verge. It's funny what almost dying and losing your Mom will do to you. :none:

Well it's been a little while since anyone from the West has posted here...

As the newly elected First Minister of the West Pacific, I thought I would visit our embassy here to say hello. A new foreign affairs team will be in place shortly and will deliver a proper update with news from the West Pacific.

In the mean time I will be serving drinks in the embassy bar.

The West Pacific Embassy Update


It’s been a long time since there’s been a proper update from The West Pacific; as some of you may know we have had a very tumultuous year so far. After a constitutional crisis that saw Eli become Delegate and then attempt to form a completely new government, we have had a constitution convention that led to the adoption of a new, radical, document that blends openness and a degree of democracy with a powerful Delegate to represent the region in game. The Delegacy changed hands again after a successful military operation of domestic and foreign forces, led by the then Minister of Defence Anarchy Wolf, pushed Rolheath into the Delegacy.

Since then the new Assembly has opened and has elected its first Speaker and its first Ministers, as well as beginning a number of discussions on various issues.

The new government:

WA Delegate: Rolheath
Foreign Affairs Advisor: Haor Chall

Speaker of the Regional Assembly: Realm of the Realm
Deputy Speaker: Dyr Nasad
Minister of Communication: Biteland
Minister of Culture: Neenee
Minister of Archives: Enegro Montoya

Chief Justice: Halmont


New Embassy Policy

After a lengthy review of our current policy we have decided to change the way foreign embassies in The West Pacific are setup. All Embassies will now take the form of a pinned thread in Embassy Row rather than an individual sub-forum. New Embassies have been setup for all regions that have active embassies in The West Pacific, please make yourself at home and if you have any queries or issues direct them either to your ambassador or to Haor Chall in TWP.


Regional Assembly Activity

The Regional Assembly has passed a resolution endorsing the Delegate and is currently discussing the creation of a Criminal Code.

The West Pacific Embassy Update
by Dyr Nasad

It has been some time since TWP updated her allies abroad about regional news and interesting happenings - and there have been many!

The Government

WA Delegate: Rolheath

Speaker of the Regional Assembly: Bhang Bhang Duc
Minister of Communication: Dyr Nasad
Minister of Culture: Biteland
Minister of Archives: Enegro Montoya

Chief Justice: Todler

Regional Assembly

After The Realm of the Realm decided not to run for re-election as Speaker of the Assembly, Dyr Nasad ran and was elected to the position. The RA has been quite busy discussing whether TWP should sign treaties for more formal diplomatic relations with other regions, and the dominant opinion appears to be that signing treaties is unnecessary for friendship between regions. After several resignations in the government, elections were opened once again to fill the jobs of Minister of Communication and Minister of Culture. Discussions also began about how the new delegates would be chosen, culminating by reaffirming that the delegate would choose his successor. In the next Speaker election, Dyr Nasad thought it best to follow the example of his predecessor and only serve one consecutive term in the post. An election was held and Bhang Bhang Duc was elected - good luck BBD!

Christmas Party

Minister of Culture Biteland is throwing a TWP Christmas party! It includes numerous games that help TWPers get to know each other better with prizes for the winners. Come check it out here!

Thanks for reading - that's all for now, but hopefully the next update won't be too far away!
