Notice: As most of you probably know, I've been slowly slipping away from my activity in this region. I currently also hold the position of Education Secretary, which I'm not terribly active in, (although I have been trying to work on a course or two at the moment) but I will keep going with the role until the election.

I will not accept any positions after the election though. I'm inactive, a bit out of touch with the region and I generally don't feel as home here as I do in other regions. This means that I'm just not as good at putting work into something.

I know this might sound controversial, but I'll probably only stay in this region for a month or two past the election, due to my lack of inspiration or incentive to carry on here. And just to note, there is nothing that is explicitly wrong with this region, but I have found that the government is massive and somewhat overwhelmingly complicated (which is half the point tbh). And NS politics in itself is odd - IRL there is all sorts of stuff for a government to do, while in NS it is there just to run itself (which again, is half the fun of it).

I do remember a time when some believed that I was a rising star in Thaecian politics, or at some points when I was the most approved of MP in the HoC. I never believed that I'd actually run for anything above MP - I considered going for the position of Speaker or possibly the Senate, but decided against it. Just wanted to clear that up.

Sorry if this message isn't written in my usual, professional manner of writing. I didn't really know what to say, so I just said it. And I have no real way to conclude this, apart from saying thank you to those who've helped me here (particularly Pap sculgief for inviting me here, Dizgovzy for helping me and giving me opportunities in the HoC, Hulldom for a few nice words and comments here and there, and The Bigtopia, for giving me the opportunity to become Education Sec. I've probably forgotten several people, and if so, I'm sorry and I thank you too).

I'll still be here for a while. Don't worry, I'm not leaving yet, just being less active and I won't be in government from after the election.

The Unofficial fact of the day: A recent study involved training pigs to play video games with their snouts. The study also demonstrated that the pigs were able to “think abstractly and do fairly advanced conceptual learning. Wow, it seems pigs can play games better than humans.

The Military Manifesto

My friends, since the second iteration of the Thaecian military came into existence, it has proven time and time again that it is a fun way to engage citizens, to further our region's Foreign Affairs and teach our residents how the NS world works. For months now, the military has shown us that it can be trusted and cherished.

Yet still, Thaecian law makes the military's existence and its function incredibly arduous and difficult, with its participants endlessly bound by an absurd amount of bureaucracy and restriction.

If you think Thaecian law needs to change to recognise & support the military's existence and its increasingly important role in our region, check our the new Military Manifesto, which will advocate for the military & its membership. With the general election looming, it is critically important to raise your voice & be heard speaking out in support of the military!

Please note the Military Manifesto is NOT a political party.

Contact me or Brototh if you would like to become a signatory.

It is accessible here:

The Military Manifesto

Hello there. The Military Manifesto, first and foremost, is not a political party. What the Military Manifesto is is a number of Thaecians coming together to show their support to the current and future governments and Congresses for the regional military, currently known as the Thaeimpirial Army [TEA]. To support this manifesto is to join the political fight for Thaecian laws to allow members of the Thaecian military - which has served the region incredibly well since the start of its second iteration - more freedom. Ask Brototh or Andusre if you would like to be added as a Signatory.

Citizen's Concerns

The Thaecian citizenry,

Concerned that the attitudes and policy proposals of many members of the Thaecian government - and those running to be part of said government - would stifle the growth of the region's military through the following suggested means:

  • Forcing the military to abide by draconian and unworkable procedures for informing Congress which jeopardises both the operation itself & the operational security of any given military activity,

  • Constraining the military to only conduct one aspect of the Raiding/Defending (R/D) dichotomy, such as having a Defender-only army, in spite of both the significant interest in trying both sides and the Foreign Affairs opportunities offered by taking part in both forms,

  • Frustrating the regional military wherever possible by exploiting the quirks in the Military Commission Act 2020,

Frustrated by the military's critics' lack of acknowledgement of the significant excitement and interest amongst the Thaecian population in taking part in R/D and the refusal to recognise that the military offers a unique and important way to integrate and engage the citizenry,

Irked by the determination of some to use political shenanigans to block, frustrate and thwart the fun of other Thaecians,

Acknowledging that the regional military provides a miraculous opportunity to further the region's Foreign Affairs, as evidenced by:

Worried that the continued obstruction of the regional military prevents Thaecia from these pursuing Foreign Affairs goals and those of future Thaecian administrations, thus holding back the progress the region has been working on for almost a whole year to build a good, solid name in the inter-regional community,

Hereby supports the principles laid out in the following section.


Citizen's Demands

Signatories of the Military Manifesto support the following ideas:

The laws of Thaecia should allow Congress the ability to hold the regional military to some degree of accountability, but not to such a degree that military activity is needlessly or questionably stifled or impinged upon,

Congress should not, without concrete justification (such as the incurring of significant harm to the region's Foreign Affairs, or to protest/block the griefing of a region), unnecessarily interfere in the affairs of the regional military,

The Executive branch should conduct rigorous self-oversight of the military and its activity to maintain standards of accountability,

The military should be free to structure itself largely as it pleases, free from the constraints of bureaucratic laws,

The military should be to conduct and take part in operations mostly as it sees fit,

The Military Commission Act 2020 should be amended to make Thaecian participation in the griefing of regions (such as the applications of passwords, banning natives, et cetera) unlawful

The Military Commission Act 2020 should be amended to adjust the current rules & procedures for 'Congressional Oversight' to allow the military to conduct operations in a way which maintains its own accountability, protects operational security and furthers the region's Foreign Affairs goals.

Thus spoke Godsinia bold Brototh said,

Og det' forår ikke vinter

Did I just reuse the same manifesto format? Yeah.
Hello there Thaecia! I hope y'all are doing great today, looking at this collection of no context quotes turned manifesto. Seriously guys, seven upvotes from just confirming I'll run? You're great. I hope you will read through all of this manifesto and see why I am running for the office of President. I'm a long term resident of Thaecia, joining on February 6 2019, only 15 days after the foundation of the region, and I have a lot to give back to this region.

To Thaecia, I am Brototh. To others on Discord, you will know me as Cinema. I have recently just finished up a term as Senate Chair and Senator. While regretfully some IRL circumstances that are almost entirely resolved encouraged me to retire, I have come back with a stronger resolve and dedication to serve Thaecia in such a high office. My last two terms as Senator propelled me to the status of most bills worked on2, with several more constitutional amendments, laws and such on the way. You can be sure I've got the experience and know how of our laws and institutions to serve you in this role.

The next four months will be extremely important. We have, in just under the last year, gone from "ugh, Thaecia", to a large and generally more respected UCR with some big friends at our side (not to put down our smaller embassies- ily guys still!), reformed our military, co-operated with regions we'd never thought we would before, gone through hardships internally and come out stronger than we went in, all through a difficult time for all of us. As we continue to adjust to a much more globalist view, with internal changes all the way, it is crucial our next President, Prime Minister and all other offices are led by visionary, respected, hardworking and dedicated personnel. I cannot stress how much I love this region, which is why I am working to make it as good as it can be.

I've had the pleasure of serving you as Secretary of Defence recently- with some troubles along the way, we have made a successful military organisation and I have been able to speak and co-operate with new international friends. Some people didn't think it could be done- but the military is seeing a great wave of activity thanks to all participants, our friends abroad, military officers and my friend Andusre.

To achieve my goal of President, and bring everything I can to the office and this region, I need your help and support. You'll see my manifesto and a full comprehensive list of my qualifications just below. I am proud to say I am running for President and hope you will strongly consider voting Brototh for President of Thaecia.

> Deputy Secretary / Deputy Minister of Roleplay: 19/05/2020 - Present
> Member of Parliament (first inaugurated 4th August 2019)
> Senator (first inaugurated 25th January 2020)
> Dep Admin Factbook Administrator (started 7th August 2020)
> Chairman of the Senate (won 31st August 2020)
> Secretary of Defence (confirmed 20th December 2020)

Manifesto
Senator Brototh standing by the Law Registry they just updated with a new law they wrote.
  1. Continue the regional military. We've seen a lot of support here- there's no contest. I hope to get the military a more similar relation to the roleplay, as we have seen recently that informing people that aren't even involved in the military causes risk to operation security (opsec), however I still support Senatorial oversight on the army.

  2. Continuing the WA Office. Recently we've seen a lot more support for a WA program and WA ministry than ever before. The Culture Ministry has done an excellent job setting up this program, and I hope to get it more involved with the Presidency. Recently I've been active in the WA debate, and I will be glad to integrate this program more with the Presidency as long threatened3 by Presidents past. The Presidency has always been the WAD role- it's time for the President to get more WA involved and make Thaecia a greater name in the WA.

  3. Incentivize endorsing the President and endotarting. Many regions hand out awards for endorsing the World Assembly Delegate and other important roles. We've seen a lot of success of these programs in foreign regions, and I will be setting up a program like this handing out awards, such as badges, to those who endorse the President and other important officials in the region. Endotarting is just as important, and we will be continuing the recent campaign that Andusre and others have spearheaded.

  4. Improve the Order of Thaecia. While not directly a Presidential thing- more in the hands of the legislative, it has been a topic long spoken about by Presidential candidates. As I have said before, the Order of Thaecia has become a retirement badge. While everyone who got it certainly has the qualifications for it, the motivation for being nominated is retiring. I plan to, similar to the system I have said above, hand out awards for Thaecians who have made special contributions in the last month. Hopefully, this will make the Order more special while still rewarding everyone for their contributions.

  5. Work closely with our newfound international allies. I will make sure that Thaecia formally and legally joins the Consortium via an international treaty signed by the Senate. While I'm not on board with the idea of a WA Voting Bloc and would rather put Thaecia's interests and the people's vote first, which we will opt-out of if there is one, I am open to any other form of international co-operation with our friends abroad.

  6. Pursue closer diplomatic relations with other regions. The President is often seen by outsiders as the one who calls all the shots. As President and face of the region, I can assure you I will be cool, calm and collected, working close with the Foreign Affairs Minister and others- as I have done as Secretary of Defence- to continue this growth of international friendship brought on by the FAM and crew in the last few months. We want more diplomatic relations with more regions, and to grow a closer bond with them and establish embassies and cooperate more. The more close friends we have, the merrier.

  7. Work closely with the Cabinet. I am a long term Islonia supporter, however I will be glad to work with a Cabinet formed by any other Prime Minister. The Executive branch can only succeed when it has strong cohesion- and I am prepared to work with the Cabinet as much as I can so the government can successfully fulfil her mandate. I will also make sure to work closely with the legislative- being part of it for so long I'm glad to lend them and any hopeful authors my assistance in writing a bill.

  8. Improve Discord welcoming. I had an interesting conversation with Toerana V yesterday. He raised a point that upon being welcomed to the Discord, he did not recieve any form of introduction into the region, which he rightfully believes can be confusing to newcomers, who join through Discord rather than the more conventional means of the RMB, where Zon island does an excellent job. The discord already has Andusre and a few others introducing newcomers to the WA, getting them to endorse TMS, and sometimes dropping a Thaecia Simplified dispatch, but it ends there. An IC body must be doing the welcoming, not a loose and rather unorganised gathering. We complain a lot about inactivity, perhaps a good way to resolve it would be by introducing newcomers to our full form of government and culture through the Discord, which is more interactive and immediate, than the RMB, which is not. This is something I plan to do regardless of electoral victory or not (although it will be harder to set up an IC body if I do not win).

Thank you all for taking the time to read my platform. Again, I hope you will strongly consider voting me for President. If there are any questions you want to ask me, then know that I am ready to take any questions. Vote for whoever's policies you believe in- don't vote based on popularity and endorsements, which is why there is no endorsement section here- as long as you remember to vote!!

1- Korsinia did not actually say that or endorse me, I just wanted another cool song lyric.
2- Link to the Thaecian legislative leaderboard- may be slightly out of date.
3- As far as I can tell, every Thaecian president has promised this but have not personally set it up nor run it. I commend The Marconian State for helping to grow this platform though, I appreciate he listens to our votes and casts his accordingly.
