1.. Starting off, you say “some of these ideas are...”
What are the rest?
2.. You mention incentives, but don’t actually list any. What are the incentives? Be specific, please.
3.. How would you educate members of the coming WA department? What materials would you use? How extensive would it be?
4.. What is this WA department you mention? I’ve never heard of it. If it’s part of your campaign, why didn’t you talk about it further in your campaign?
5.. “the Delegate ceasing to exist” is an exaggeration. The threat of inactivity is the threat of not doing your job, not of you CTE’ing. How will you stay active? As in, doing your job, not just signing in every 28 or 60 days.
6.. You say you have provided the loyalty of “ensuring that the existing government remains in place in case of the founder nation ceasing to exist” and will continue to do so. How have you provided such loyalty, if such an instance has never occurred? Do you expect Heaveria to abandon the Founder nation and let it CTE during your term? If not, why even bring this up?
7.. Your experience section is just titles - just words with no meaning. What have you actually done in such offices, and how has it prepared you for the Delegacy?
8.. Will there be any changes to the debate or voting system? How will you handle approving resolution proposals? How do you respond to the allegation that you are not approving proposals as much as you should?
9.. How will you foster authorship in the region?
10.. How will you secure the interests of FNR within the Security Council?
11.. What are your thoughts on recent talks about a new WA program?
12.. Why is half your campaign a clear attempt to undermine the position of your opponent in the race? Do you think that will improve your position? It seems like bad manners to focus HALF of your ENTIRE CANDIDACY to try and convince us not to vote for your opponent rather than convincing us to vote for you. In my opinion, a good candidate is one who refuses to say any bad things about their opponents out of mutual respect. This does not seem like a place of mutual respect. How do we trust you in such an exalted position after you express such a lack of respect?
13.. You say Obets has a “lack of goal substance”, when you yourself remain vague and limited in your goals and explanations. I guess my question here is What gives?
doesnt beat the 29 fricking questions you sent me for my campaign TwT
Not right now, but I do expect some inconsistencies will show up. In such a case, I will do what the president says - that's the only way. On the outside, we'll look completely of one mind, as such things are resolved quickly and simply - by personal communication. It will definitely not interfere with productivity in any way, on the contrary; I believe bringing more opinions and ideas into place always helps to focus on the most important things that, in the end, get implemented. A discussion about what way should something go - I'm speaking very generally here - is almost always for the good. I'm not worried about that at all, I know my place, and do not wish to rise above it.

1. It'd certainly help, included a guide of how to write laws, and people being able to contact me to check for any doubts to clear, and to see how they can increase the quallity of the bill, if possible.
2. The telegram would be structured just with the info of what happened during the time-span, including, how many bill debates occured, votes on them, votes on confirmations, basically a summary of the legislature's activity, also linking the Law Archive, and also, as stated in the dispatch, encourage people to write their own guides, which would also need to include the how to write bills guide.
3. The guide for Speakers would basically contain all the codes for bill debates, bill votes, confirmation votes, and the highlights of the rules, aka the most important ones.
4. Length shouldn't be a big issue, but if it were to, it'd be split into 2, big bills, which would only be splitted into 2 dispatches, but would still be the very same law.
5. I feel that laws tied to activity of members of government should be focused on, at least for some time, since sometimes we have a dip of activity on many members of it.
6. Not majorly, possibly adding a citizen ping in the RMB announcement too, maybe I'll think of something bigger throughout my term, but not planned as of now.
7. I've been thinking of someone to put as Deputy Speaker, but I'm still checking on this, not 100% set in stone yet.
Hopefully you got all the answers you were looking for.
"and we have another question... from aivintis"
2.. So the only thing left here to answer is: Do you think that an increase in regional telegrams is something we can do without overwhelming the residency?
7.. But how will you make use of that person? What duties/responsibilities will you hand over to them? How accountable or involved will they be? Why do you think it necessary to fulfill the position?
Every time he said that, he died a little bit, on the inside.
Euricanis, Sparsdan, and Malevos
Beautiful.
Lol
2. Maybe we may be able to merge all of the periodical telegrams into 1, so it's not so overwhelming, or send them in different phases, like 1 of them on the 1st, another one on the 10th, and the 20th; but that would require coordination with the rest of the government, which shouldn't be a big issue eitherway.
7. My bad, missunderstood the question. So, I'd put it to update dispatches required, and to update the government's calendar(events related to the legislature of course), with other duties possibly coming up throughout the term, and the most important of all, would be in the case I'm unable to fill my duties(such as if I went on LOA).
That's the single most beatiful thing I've seen on earth Okay, maybe the second most behind to Heav's handwriting lol
Yeah, I do watch him too, and thanks to him I got on NS
Due To The Drewpocalypse, The 1 Year Anniversary Of This Nation Is On 4/20
Castenor and Sulivannia

If you are on the discord server you can use the /n [Insert nation name] command to check for it.
In addition to what Gufand said, I believe you can also view your nation's date of founding on NS's forums, or by looking at one of its stat graphs and clicking on the very beginning of the graph.
