Announcing The Sacred Order of The West Pacific Imperium

My friends and fellow nations of The West Pacific.

 

I have proposed and offered the opportunity for the region to vote upon the adoption of The Sacred Order to lead and guide our great region and government into the vast reaches of the future that lay ahead of us.  I, the Delegate of The West Pacific and Imperator of The Imperium, along with the Guardians, and with a vote of 23 in favor to 12 against, have opted to agree to this adoption.

 

The Government of The West Pacific remains the Imperium, there is no change there with the exception that I will adopt new titles for those positions within my authority.  I ask The Concillium to consider my proposed name change to The Holy Grand Assembly of The West, with the Speaker's title to become The Bishop of The Grand Assembly.  I recognize The Concillium's right to consider it's own name. 

 

We have been having this discussion about ways to increase activity in our region here in the Holy Ministry for Domestic Affairs.  A regional theme is one means by which to achieve this.  Take a look at the use of a theme in Lazarus as a recent example.  Or look to the longevity of the NPO.  Or the successful works to bring activity to a dead NationStates with The Crimson Order and others.  Look to our fellow GCRs.  In addition to Lazarus and The Pacific; Balder has its Nordic theme, Osiris has its Egyptian theme.  The Rejected Realms has it's defender focus, and The East Pacific has adopted defenderism along with its Masonic backgrounds and long history of RolePlay.  The South Pacific focuses on it's form of Democracy and widening it's military activity.  The North Pacific is a bastion of legislation, legalism, and debate.

 

Once I posted the ingame poll on the Sacred Order and Dispatch listing detailed titles, I have had a number of nations contacting with interest in recieving titles in the Sacred Order.  These are nations that have not been heard from before, and have had no participation in the region.  Does that mean they will become more active ?  No.  But it does show evidence of ingame interest in such themeing.  And interest is needed in order to harness that interest into activity.

 

Yet, it is the labor of love that you each provide to The West Pacific that can cultivate opportunity into action and activity.  I will continue to do my job to maintain the Delegacy and ensure the security of the region.  I will continue to direct policy with the valuable advice of the Guardians, and the valuable ideas and advice of our Holy Ministers and The Bishop of The Grand Assembly (sorry, Speaker).  Domestic Affairs (Interior) must be proactive in providing opportunity for our community to come together in activity and building a team to work together to inform our nations of how they can get involved.  Foreign Affairs must be timely in providing regular updates to our Embassies, and recruiting and maintaining our Ambassador Team. World Assembly Affairs must be available for all our WA nations for interpretation and assistance. Our Military must continue to grow and be active, becoming an ever more effective tool for activity and presenting The West Pacifican ideals to NationStates, a force that our friends and allies can count upon to join with them to remove the deadwood from NationStates, and protect us from those that would impose their false morals upon us.

 

While subject to adjustment, I present to you the new titles of The Sacred Order of The West Pacific Imperium:

 

 

The Sacred Order of The West Pacific:
 
"No one expects The West Pacific Inquisition! But they probably should."
 
Delegate and Guardians:
 
The Grand Inquisitor, Westwind of All Good People 
 
The Cardinal Guardian of the Eternal Dungeons, Yy4u 
The Cardinal Guardian of Chocolate Righteousness, Darkesia 
The Cardinal Guardian Protector of the West, Wickedly Evil People. 
The Cardinal Guardian of the Most Evil, Bhang Bhang Duc 
 
Non-World Assembly Delegate TAO the Watcher, Unquestioning Raconteur of the West.
 
Holy Ministries of the Sacred Order:
 
For World Assembly Affairs, Treize Dreizehn 
For Foreign Affairs, Intelligent Holograms 
For Domestic Affairs, Charax 

 

Again, I ask The Concillium to consider the name change I have proposed, and the TWP Armed Forces will take the opportunity to consider it's name.

 

Thank you all, and may the blessings of ADMIN and The Architect, with the mysteries of The Watchmaker in mind, be upon each and every one of you.

 

Westwind of All Good People

Grand Inquisitor of The Sacred Order of The West Pacific Imperium

First of all,

 

...with the Speaker's title to become The Bishop of The Grand Assembly...

Secondly, how exactly will just an adoption of a theme change the status quo? The regions you cited, alongside their themes, have their respective unique regional hierarchies and 'democratic' systems to accompany their theme. Will our own system more reflect our theme? Obviously not go for the full on theocracy, but, for instance, have all official dispatches/updates have a slant on them, or parody a spiritual slant?

I think that it would be appropriate to have our updates fit with the theme.  As we move forward, I will attempt to bring further enlightenment upon the nature of the Sacred Order and perhaps those that have sought a title within the order, will need to make a public profession of their faith.  

 

The E-Lusian Mysteries offered multiple paths of enlightenment.  There were the Elemental Oracles that provided teaching in the expertise of each Oracle.  Perhaps something like that could be developed as well.  Our military is already a place to learn the Art of War so that the Sacred Order will not perish, and truth can be spread across NationStates.  And the Cardinal Guardians each have their own unique teaching and guidance to provide.

 

Perhaps some of the lost testaments of Westwind can be retrieved for further study as well.

There are no 'democracies' in game created regions

 

 

There are only the deluded fed the sham of democracy by the oligarchy in power at their forum. Forumite votes for government are anti game and anti democracy. They only insure that those from UCR's can subvert the legitimate game processes as designed by Max

 

 

shamocracies are what they are

I approve.

Eli is correct.

Even the best of the so-called "democracies" are benevolent dictatorships ... until something doesn't go the way of the people at the top of the hierarchy. In the case of game-created regions, find that the government that is more honest about their dictatorial nature, provided they are benevolent, are more benevolent in practice than democracies.

The power of the people goes as far as the government allows it, and the government's power goes as far as the people allows it. They are mutually dependent. The only real choice you have is WHERE do you want to live it.
