Elections are held via telegram through the office of the Minister of Domestic Affairs.
Anyone got any fun facts?

Fun facts? I've heard that the NS mod team is now suppressing "incorrect" COVID-19 facts on NS. What has the world come to?
I have another fun fact! I just finished writing two detailed guides on how to get your nation started and how to get involved in the WA!
Here they are: NJ's Helpful Guide to Getting Your Nation Started and NJ's Helpful Guide to World Assembly Membership, Endorsements, and Much More! If you all would do me a favor and read them, disperse them, and upvote them like crazy, I would appreciate it so much! Of course, if you have any questions or think I missed anything, please do let me know!
A new poll has been published- having to do with the passing of a suggested bill!
Elections taking place on the first week of every quarter, there shall be a prescribed period of mentorship after the conclusion of the elections for all executive offices.
This period of mentorship will take place for one week after the conclusion of the elections. The elected Minister will be placed under the mentorship of their predecessor for this period.
The mentor will be permitted to give as much or as little advice as desired. The mentor will not be permitted to make any decisions or policies on behalf of the Minister.
The mentor will be permitted to not give mentorship to the elected Minister if he so desires.
The elected Minister will not be required to adopt all of the suggestions of the mentor.
During the period of mentorship, the Minister may not place their mentor and predecessor under them in any position.
During the period of mentorship, the Minister will not be permitted to suggest their mentor and predecessor for any award of merit or achievement.
The mentor will not be permitted to retain any powers of their previous position.

The bill in question.
When will the elections be? Also acting against my own self-interest I propose that there should be some minimum time required that you are in the region before to vote so that newer members like myself who do not fully grasp the political environment of the region do not negatively affect the elections.
While that is a good idea, it's a core belief of the region (and included in our long-standing welcome telegram) that as soon as you move to Conch Kingdom, you have the full rights of a citizen.

Well, thank you for the vote of confidence! I genuinely appreciate it.
Thank you for endorsing Supero! I'd argue that my combination of bringing a different approach to the office and having some governmental experience would better position myself to execute the duties of PM effectively and fairly, but Kot and Supero are still very solid choices!

While I think that would be a good idea in a region with a huge population, a large percentage of which being interested in regional politics, It really wouldn't work well here, as there clearly aren't many interested in running for any positions in the government, as we have had very few changes for a long time.
Citizens followed the rules we wouldn't need guides in regards to endorsements. I have endorsed over 50 people and have only received 29 endorsements.
Worth noting here that Conch Kingdom has no rules regarding who should endorse who and who shouldn't. It's a big emphasis in Conch Kingdom and the Augustin Alliance in general that there are no WA endorsement caps or requirements or anything like that. The WA campaign sent out by New Jaedonstan weekly is a suggestion, and while it would greatly benefit the region if people followed that suggestion, it is not a rule.

Basically, anything that melts can be made into glass. A molten material just has to be cooled before its molecules have the time necessary to realign into what they were before being melted.
If it's not a rule, why do we get hounded when we haven't endorsed everyone on the endorsement list?
Even in real-world politics, term limitations are kinda stupid. If you have a democracy and you really want to be democratic, having term limits kinda keep you from doing that. We have never had an issue with PMs staying on too long. Since we don't have political parties, the PM and Ministers usually are the most talented and qualified people. Term limits inhibit good PMs from continuing and enable bad candidates to get in on nothing but a technicality. In a much larger region (say a GCR), I might support it if there were enough politically active people to warrant it. Here, it would be a needless limitation.
That is my choice. I have the prerogative to keep the endorsements high and our region safe through that. Everyone endorsing everyone else is conducive to that. Therefore, I remind people weekly to endorse others. You are not being hounded; your choice to endorse other people is your own. My intent was never to make it seem like you are hounded. Especially you, since you make sure to endorse all other people as much as you can. I usually only hound those that are consistently ignoring my requests; ask Zuhay, whom I used to hound.
If you are dissatisfied with the number of endorsements you are receiving back, I would just encourage you to be patient. Most people only log on once every seven days, some more. They will get to your endorsements.
Like it's been said it's only a suggestion and not something to adhere to. If you don't want to join the WA, don't there are no punishments in this region for not joining to WA or not endorsing somebody. You are free to endorse whoever you want and nobody can tell you otherwise.
I'll keep this short as I served with you for a time. You desire to run as PM, however you have been absent from the scene for a while is running for PM really the best choice for you? Wouldn't it be more prudent to take a lower position to get back into it?
It's a suggestion, not a rule. There are several reasons why our delegate New Jaedonstan sends out telegrams like that, and why it's important to the region to do that.
Conch Kingdom is currently #4 out of every single region in the world for the average amount of endorsements. Since the term of Tulov, one of our old PMs, we have always been among the best in the world, competed with regions often hundreds of nations larger with more resources and more people serving their region. Conch Kingdom even outdoes fellow Augustin Alliance region Ridgefield, despite us being over 100 nations larger and them having mandatory WA membership. It's a big source of regional pride for us, or at least for me, which is why it's encouraged so much.
Another reason is regional security. A few months we had a World Assembly Delegate elected by the name of Sakaba. After a few weeks in that position, he/she went rogue and ejected about 100 nations from Conch Kingdom. We dropped to around 90 nations, the lowest we'd been since the first month of this region's founding in 2016. This was a major event, and the biggest disaster in Conch Kingdom history.
But the way ejections work, a percentage of the influence (the world census statistic) level of the nation you eject is taken out of your own influence measure. So Sakaba was limited in the number of nations he could eject based on his/her own influence level. So of course, logically, Sakaba targeted the least influential nations in Conch Kingdom. And you can see the result of that, the average influence level for Conch Kingdom spiked upwards 12,000 points in one day. The members of the region with more influence were ignored by Sakaba so he/she could kick out the most nations possible with as little cost as possible.
And here's the punchline: your influence growth per day is directly correlated to how many endorsements you have. You could also see a spike in the average CK endorsement levels at the same time. If you're not in the WA, there's no issue with that, your influence grows by 2 points per day. But our World Assembly Delegate New Jaedonstan, who has 72 endorsments currently, his influence grows by 144 per day. In order to prevent another tragedy like what Sakaba did, or if it does happen again (it likely never will) to at least minimize the losses, WA membership and cross-endorsing is suggested/encourage/shoved down your throats, whatever you choose to call it.
But it is not required, and it never will be.
I think the problem is that we overrate experience and underrate what hard work + intelligence can achieve.
Oh, I think that hard work & intelligence are the most important but I also think that mentorship would still be valuable for those who lack experience. I was only poking fun anyway, not actually criticism.
New Jaedonstan and Kot unduk
Better idea: GMP If You Want It . Also, if you're inexperienced, just ask. We don't need an entire law to tell us what we need to learn. I mean, I have picked up a lot just by running.
