_________________________

As the Regional Administration minister for FNR, it's important to ensure goals are communicated adequately between Ministers.

Imagine it like an enormous clock. It only works if all the little cogs mesh together. If they suddenly stop, well, it's more than likely that I'll miss my morning coffee because a Minister suddenly built an instrument of destruction and wants to take over the RP map and will make us swim in maple syrup if we don't.

The fact that I just ranked 2nd in the Best Nations in the World poll has nothing to do with this campaign. It only amounts to 1% of the reason why I am a viable candidate for the Minister of Regional Administration.

If I am re-elected to the MoRA post, you can expect adequate check-ins on how the Ministers are all getting on with their weekly goals. Like Orvos checking the RP's functioning OK, My Nation....running the region, and ensuring Narvatus does his job as our honourable World Assembly delegate.

So get on the ballots, Free Nations, and vote me, the Educated Democracy of Amorosa-Coonarra Coasts for Regional Admin Minister in the Quarterly Ministerial Elections.

I would like to ask if your platform only consists of "maintaining the current MoRA and ensuring there are weekly goals for Ministers?"

We're in April btw
Spring or Summer Elections are fine, but probably not Autumn

And also I would like to ask if your platform only consists of "maintaining the current MoRA and ensuring there are weekly goals for Ministers?"

13th April 1970 (51 years ago): Apollo 13 oxygen tank explodes

On April 13, 1970, disaster strikes 300,000 kilometers from Earth when oxygen tank No. 2 blows up on Apollo 13, the third manned lunar landing mission. Astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise had left Earth two days before for the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon but were forced to turn their attention to simply making it home alive.

Mission commander Lovell reported to mission control on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.”

A routine stir of an oxygen tank ignited damaged wire insulation inside it, causing an explosion that vented the contents of both of the Service Module's oxygen tanks to space. Without oxygen, needed for breathing and for generating electric power, the Service Module's propulsion and life support systems could not operate. The Command Module's systems had to be shut down to conserve its remaining resources for reentry, forcing the crew to transfer to the Lunar Module as a lifeboat. With the lunar landing canceled, mission controllers worked to bring the crew home alive.

Although the Lunar Module was designed to support two men on the lunar surface for two days, Mission Control in Houston improvised new procedures so it could support three men for four days. The crew experienced great hardship caused by limited power, a chilly and wet cabin and a shortage of potable water. There was a critical need to adapt the Command Module's cartridges for the carbon dioxide scrubber system to work in the Lunar Module; the crew and mission controllers were successful in improvising a solution.

An investigative review board found fault with preflight testing of the oxygen tank and the fact that Teflon was placed inside it. The board recommended changes, including minimizing the use of potentially combustible items inside the tank; this was done for Apollo 14. The story of Apollo 13 has been dramatized several times, most notably in the 1995 film Apollo 13 – based on the 1994 memoir co-authored by Lovell Lost Moon - and an episode of the 1998 miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.

The astronauts' peril briefly renewed public interest in the Apollo program; tens of millions watched the splashdown in the South Pacific Ocean on television on 17 April as tragedy turned to triumph.

Apollo 13 was called a "successful failure" by Lovell. Mike Massimino, a Space Shuttle astronaut, stated that Apollo 13 "showed teamwork, camaraderie and what NASA was really made of". The response to the accident has been repeatedly called, "NASA's finest hour"; it is still viewed that way. Author Colin Burgess wrote, "the life-or-death flight of Apollo 13 dramatically evinced the colossal risks inherent in manned spaceflight.

Hello FNR! I have chosen to run for the position of Minister of Immigration in the upcoming elections. Please check out my campaign dispatch:


Introduction:

Hello citizens of The Free Nations Region!

I'm My Nation, one of your candidates for Minister of Immigration in the upcoming election. I've put together this dispatch to highlight what my plans will be if I'm elected as your Minister of Immigration, as well as a few of my most relevant qualifications for this position. These are detailed in the following sections.

Thank you for taking the time to read this dispatch and for potentially considering voting for me in this election!

- My Nation


Qualifications:

This section contains a few of my most relevant qualifications for a position as Minister of Immigration.

- active resident and citizen of FNR for over two years (2018–present)
- creator of FNR's Manual Recruitment Leaderboard and Hall of Fame (2021)
- winner of FNR's August 2020 Recruitment Championship (2020)
- author of FNR's current official recruitment telegram (2020)
- awardee of FNR's Founder's Medal of Freedom (2019)
- former President of FNR (2019 & 2021)
- former Vice President of FNR (2020–2021)
- former Speaker of FNR (2019–2020)


Plans:

This section contains my major plans for the Ministry of Immigration if I'm elected as its Minister. It's a bit of a wall of text — for a quicker read, please take a look at the purple text.

One of the most important duties of the Minister of Immigration is to encourage nations to join the region by sending them recruitment telegrams. If I'm elected, I will make a point to send out 120 recruitment telegrams every day. I have selected the number 120 due to the way Tigerania's bot's recruitment command works. Note that one term in regional government is 90 days long, so by the end of this term, I plan to have sent out a grand total of 10,800 recruitment telegrams! This goal will require a lot of dedication on my behalf, but I believe that it will be extremely beneficial for our region.

I also plan to remain in contact with the apprentices of the Ministry of Immigration and encourage them to send out more recruitment telegrams. Apprentices are people who have chosen to learn more about a specific Ministry — if I'm elected, I will be sure to continue teaching my apprentices about the Ministry of Immigration, and I will request that they recruit as much as possible. I will accomplish this by messaging them regularly on Discord. The more recruitment telegrams sent, the better!

You may recall that I created FNR's Manual Recruitment Leaderboard and Hall of Fame last term. This dispatch serves to encourage citizens to send out manual recruitment telegrams for FNR, and it recognizes those who do so the most. Thus, I plan to continue updating this dispatch monthly with the aim of continuing to encourage citizens to recruit!

On the topic of encouraging citizens to recruit, I also plan to organize another recruitment championship. So far, FNR has hosted three of these championships, all of which have resulted in a noticeable spike in recruitment telegrams sent! If I'm elected, I will host a fourth championship which will include a couple of fun prizes for the winner! I have already determined what these prizes will be, however I plan to keep them a secret until if/when the championship is announced.

Please keep in mind that all of these goals will be pursued in addition to the goals of our current President, Heaveria. I look forward to working closely with Heaveria over the course of this term if I'm elected as your Minister of Immigration. I believe that this term has the potential to set a new precedent of activity for this Ministry, so please consider voting for me!
