Editor's notes and corrections marked in underline. direct quotes italicized, candidates' policies indented, but general stances aren't.

The Cypher Nine:

Would work to protect[...] Forest's legacy without refounding, making only the changes necessary to preserve the Region.
Would separate the WA Delegate's duties, establishing a Homeland Security Officer (HSO) to monitor and report [...] CTE's, and incoming or departing nations. The HSO would also monitor endorsement counts on a regular basis to help prevent Delegacy-stealing, and periodically publish the data similarly to the existing Greenness Index.
May institute near-maximum (85% or 90%) endorsement caps.
Would consult the region, the WA Delegate, and the Security Minister in developing policy to improve transparency and connection.
Would grant Cabinet members a lot of freedom in creating new initiatives or changing initiatives within their purview [...] to prevent stagnation
Would entertain discussion about how the Forest government could work during elections moving forward.
Pledged to rely heavily on the support of his cabinet

Has expressed ambivalence about refounding Forest, but wouldn't oppose it if it were supported by the WA Delegate, Forest Keeper or regional government members, and Forest residents.
Believes in devolution of government.

Roless:

Would establish an Event Coordinator to organize and execute intra- and inter-regional competitions.
Would establish not particularly strict endorsement caps. (to prioritize the Delegacy over the larger region in the event of a successful raid.)
Would amend the Constitution to allow the democratic impeachment of any member of the cabinet.
Would establish a Border Guard to monitor entrants [...] [and] investigate members, especially new, who gain endorsements very quickly. The Guard would also have the power to eject such nations, although banjecting them would require approval from either the forest keeper or the delegate, as a check.
Would establish an Errinundera Memorial Competition in addition to his other competitive proposals.

Atsvea:

Would further democratize legislating through regular consultation with residents in addition to polling.

Supports opening the region to everyone, regardless of identity or belief and without elitism, as long as the entrants remain well-behaved.

Jutsa:

Would implement a carbon tax, ban multiple pollutant (-adjacent) items and actions, and create a Forest Patrol to enforce compliance.
Would fight anti-environmentalism by forcing influential nations, to significantly undo[...] the en masse ecological harm they have caused to the region.
Would fight corruption by berating politicians suspected of fudging their world census statistics, and impeach and disbar politicians suspected of foul play.
Would create Founders Day 2.0, a night of poll-mandated alcohol, [...] documentaries, and gaming to commemorate Errinundera's CTE. Would also revive the tradition of Founders Day 1.0.
Would donate $500 IRL to a poll-mandated charity.

Supports the candidacy of joke candidates.
Supports open debate about policies before their implementation, and the ability to impeach any cabinet member
Supports expansion of the regional government to oversee currently-unregulated functions (events, RMB, media, etc.)

Chan island:
Would transition Forest into the haunted undead region it must become.
Would turn[...] raiders into skeletons and added to my undead army, presumably supportive of R/D.
Would secure the region's future by murdering and resurrecting the Constitution, hopefully dissuading new entries due to the curses and evil permeating everything.
Would slaughter the region and resurrect everyone as ghoulish undead [...] with[...] democratic consent.
Would decorate the Constitution with skulls [and] an undead eldritch horror.

Would promote greater interconnection between regional WA members.

Would pursue diplomatic relations with other defender regions, although formal alliances wouldn't be formed unless circumstances change to demand them.
Would establish a pair of Forest Rangers, whose only powers would be ejecting suspect or hostile nations [...] at the request of the rest of the government. Misuse of these powers, as judged by a public debate or administration investigation, would result in their impeachment.
