Same question I had. I'm surprised. Off topic, I'll be free to answer any questions today, both on the Discord and RMB. If you'd like to know anything, feel free to ask!

Introduction
      My nation name is Penkurth, I have recently joined Conch Kingdom and have began running for MoFA. I am confident my campaign will make you vote for me. You can ask me any questions by telegrams or preferably by Discord (spoon#4812).


Embassies

  • Establish More Embassies.

      If Conch Kingdom were to have a much more broad amount of embassies, it would result in popularity. Due to our recognition rising, we would have an increased amount of nations in CK (Conch Kingdom). Nations will be able to vote whether CK should have an embassy in the certain region too. The government will also inspect the region, of course.

  • Have better relations with larger regions

      Having better relations with larger regions would also result in popularity. Not only that, if CK were to be raided or a severe incident had happened, the larger regions could hopefully help us in desperate times.


Inter-Regional Events

  • Events.

      I will work with other regions to provide a consistent amount of events, presumably every 3-6 months. The events will be hosted in only one region. I can't really expand on the subject as it could change, depending on the event.


Why You Should Vote For Me

      I guarantee that during my term, I will establish at least 2 embassies and 1 inter-regional event. A few changes will also be added to the embassy policy, however none major. Personally, I believe Conch Kingdom will improve if I were to be MoFA. I am confident I can win, I am determined.

Other than that could luck to everyone running!

Hello Conch Kingdom! I just wanted to comment on the elections that are going to happen, and give my recommendations (if you care what I have to say) on who to vote for. I won't be commenting on the PM election as there's no point, if I thought I wasn't the best candidate I wouldn't be running. However, if you do have questions about my opinions on the PM candidates, ask me.

My recommendations:

Minister of Domestic Affairs: Jolitia

This is the only candidate for MoDA, and it's a good one. Jolitia, through their short time here, has already started recruiting for Conch Kingdom and gotten some newcomers, and is in fact the only person not currently in government to recruit for Conch Kingdom. I'm excited to see what they have planned for their term in office.

Minister of Foreign Affairs: Free Azell

Free Azell, or Azell for short, has been one of the most valuable and hard working members of government over my term. Whenever I had a question about any embassy or any international affair going on, they knew about it and informed me what was going on. Early in my term I asked Azell if they would be willing to undertake a massive project, a review of every single Conch Kingdom embassy and a recommendation to keep the embassy or not. Azell did it quickly, no complaints, and provided to me a in-depth review of all our embassies. And they did all this while also managing an innovative massive World Assembly voting bloc called the URA, while also recruiting for Conch Kingdom and fellow AA region Dawn. I cannot emphasize enough how lucky Conch Kingdom is to have Azell as an official, and I greatly encourage you to vote for them.

If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me!

Hello Conch Kingdom! I come with another recommendation!

In the April 1st WA General Secretariat election, I would strongly recommend that you vote for Bohseon (page=election)

It is my belief that the North Pacific should be engulfed in a nuclear hellstorm (of which there will be no survivors), and Bohseon is the candidate to do that. He has proven time and time again that if given the opportunity, he will lay waste to the North Pacific. It is that consistency in belief that the North Pacific should be reduced to ashes that makes him a strong viable candidate for General Secretariat, and I ask you to vote for him.

Vote Bohseon for a devastated North Pacific. Vote Bohseon for a better tomorrow.

Alternatively, vote for me, your loyal World Assembly Delegate.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I am New Jaedonstan, the World Assembly Delegate for the great region of Conch Kingdom! Welcome to my campaign for the April Fools Election Event! Below, I will list some of my campaign promises:

Abolishment of Speed Limits

Across the globe, the world's roads will be open and completely unrestricted in speed. The functional speed limit will be infinite, though the universe is telling me that the speed limit must be the speed of light. I promise that I will be establishing this law permanently, perhaps even renegotiating the speed of light.

Free Cookies for Everyone

World governments across the world will be forced to provide freshly-baked cookies to all of the citizens. Period. Taxes will not be permitted to increase to pay for these cookies, which must be provided free of charge. Think about it.

Cornoavirus Abolition

I will require nature to rescind its death warrant on the human race and return the COVID-19 virus to the depths of its caves. This will be enforced. We're not sure how yet.

Meme Flags

All national flags will be repealed and replaced with memes. Period.

Free water

Isn't this already a thing? No? Oh, okay, well, I guess I will establish it! Free water everywhere!

No more governments

Once the world has complied with my rules, I will abolish all national, regional, and world governments. Permanently. "Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die..."

Of course, if you have questions or concerns about my campaign, or if you wish to send me a poisoned letter, please do let me know. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you for your time, NationStates!

Vote NJ for free cookies. Vote NJ for... no tomorrow.

Kot unduk, Jolitia, and Penkurth

Post self-deleted by Jolitia.

I applaud my loyal region-mate New Jaedonstan for expressing his views via campaigning.
However, may I remind all residents
A vote for NJ is a vote wasted and more
New Jaedonstan is way behind the polls, both regionally and globally to even have a single digit percentage share, this is how you waste votes.
Even more, because of potential votes put into his campaign, the region as a whole suffers due to a split vote, less votes for the real CK and AA frontrunner.
Vote for Bohseon is all I have to say finally- thank you!

Balan Bar, Covida, and Penkurth

Unfortunately due to NJ not supporting my choice for Bohseon as General Secretariat I have resigned as PM. May God bless Conch Kingdom and its future.

Bohseon, New Jaedonstan, and Penkurth

Hello Conch Kingdom! At long last I have finished revising my campaign! You can find it below:



PRIME MINISTER
Kot Unduk | April 2020

INTRODUCTION


Hello Conch Kingdom! My name is Kot unduk and I am running for Prime Minister this April. The aim of my campaign is to bring a new point of view into office that can work for the betterment of Conch Kingdom. I also believe a new, well-informed and fairly active citizenry will be vital to the survival of this region. In order to do this we need new ideas, a flexible government, an active region, but most importantly, a new Prime Minister.

My campaign is dedicated to everyone in Conch Kingdom.

MY PLATFORM

What I will Continue:

  • Transparency Reports

  • Spotlight Competitions

  • Interviews

  • Events

What I Will Do:

  • Promote Use of the RMB

  • Incentives for Civilian Projects

  • Discord-Informer for Non-Discord Users

  • Inter-Regional Events

  • Electoral Reform

  • Propose Amendments and Laws

Policies

  • Recruitment

  • Foreign Affairs

Most of my proposals will be approved by region-wide referendum.

ELECTORAL REFORM

As Prime Minister, I will work closely with my government improve how citizens are informed about our elections and to improve how our elections work.

  • Candidates' Dispatch List
    During election cycles I will create a dispatch containing links to all the candidates' campaigns along with relevant information. The purpose of this dispatch will be to make candidates' campaigns more accessible, reduce the amount of telegrams sent by the Minister of Domestic Affairs during election cycles down to one.

REGIONAL ACTIVITIES

  • Events
    Events are an integral part to keeping Conch Kingdom both an active and fun region. They are also important in keeping new players a part of our region. As Prime Minister, I will work to host at least one event per month.

  • Civilian Incentives
    One of Conch Kingdom's residents, Jolitia, has been working extensively on a newspaper called "The Conch Times". As Prime Minister, I will reward individuals who contribute to Conch Kingdom in creative or helpful ways like this with my time and support.

  • Discord Informer
    If I am elected as Prime Minister, I will work with the government to create a Discord Informer, its purpose being informing non-Discord users about decisions made on Discord. I and I understand how people feel about not being properly informed.

  • Promote Use of the RMB
    While Conch Kingdom's Discord server is very useful for quick and easy communication, the Regional Message Board is often neglected only for the occasional post or government announcement. As Prime Minister, I will work to promote and increase usage of the Regional Message Board for community debates, comments on polls and announcements by residents.

    #MakeRMBGreatAgain

RECRUITMENT

As Prime Minister I will join the recruiting effort and I will work to expand and keep our dedicated recruitment team great. While spending time recruiting new nations is important, making sure they stay in Conch Kingdom is equally vital. As Prime Minister, I will do the following to give new residents incentives to stay:

  • Monthly Events

  • Be Informative to New Players

  • Increase RMB Activity

FOREIGN RELATIONS

  • Embassies
    Conch Kingdom's current Embassy Policy works very well. As Prime Minister I will keep it exactly how it is.

  • Augustin Alliance
    Our allies are important to us and and if elected Prime Minister I will work to remain and strengthen our position in the Augustin Alliance. While Conch Kingdom should remain friendly with other regions I am against the idea of leaving AA.

  • Inter-Regional Events
    As Prime Minister I will work to have at least one inter-regional event during my term, the purpose being to create something fun and strengthen relations with other regions.

FINAL WORDS

If we want a better Conch Kingdom, we need to work together for it. We need new ideas, new people, and a new government. With me as Prime Minister, you will get all of this and much more. I decided to run to make a difference in our region, a difference that will have a positive effect for the years to come. I ask you to make the future better than the past. I request that you vote for me, Kot unduk, during the first week of April if you want to see a difference. Thank you for your time!


Conch Kingdom is Great, Let's Make It Greater!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs debate between Free Azell and Penkurth has been posted.

The third british empire Today at 4:00 PM
HELLOOOOOO CK and the wider AA!!!!!
Today is the second debate for our elections and today I'm playing host to our fantastic candidates @spoon and @Azell -CK/DN. Both of these guys are amazing people and either one will make a great MoFA, but who will win? Let's find out. First of all folks let's do some introductions, @spoon you start us off.

Penkurth Today at 4:01 PM
Hello, CK. I have recently joined Conch Kingdom and have decided to run for MoFA. Vote for me and you will see improvements quickly. That is all.

The third british empire Today at 4:01 PM
Well wonderful to see a new face and thank you for joining me today.
@Azell -CK/DN, your turn sir.

Free Azell Today at 4:02 PM
Welcome everyone! I am the current MOFA of Conch Kingdom! Everyone pretty much knows me already so I will keep this short.
Vote for me! You get experienced leader that can make the hard choices when needed. Keeping Conch Kingdom in the forefront of the NS world!

The third british empire Today at 4:05 PM
Well that's one way to start, campaigning already. But anyway, pleasure as always to have you here.
Now a tad of information for the candidates, concerning the questions there is a maximum of 10 minutes to a question, take as long or as little time as you want. The reason it's that long is in case of unforeseen circumstances.
But if you two are ready, shall we begin?

Free Azell Today at 4:07 PM
I am ready!

Penkurth Today at 4:07 PM
Aye.

The third british empire Today at 4:08 PM
Well then let us.... BEGIN!!!!
The first question is a simple one to get us started.
Will you/what will you change to the embassy policy?
The person here is asking the two of you what you will change, if anything.

Penkurth Today at 4:11 PM
I only plan on changing one thing - the nation limit to join. I heard it was 30 before. As it is 50, I will lower it to a more reasonable amount, for example; 40.

Free Azell Today at 4:12 PM
I believe the current embassy policy is fine the way it is written currently. There must be a standard on the number of nations at at least 50 nations is sufficient. Changing it less would lower the standards we have set currently. Requirements in the current policy are good and no need to change something that isn't broken!

The third british empire Today at 4:14 PM
Good answers from both candidates but I'm going off the script here :stuck_out_tongue:
Azell, you mentioned that lowering the numbers lowers standards, but can't a high quality region with lower numbers still be considered? As the region I meant to be inclusive. I ask this as it was a frequent question raised back in CK.

Free Azell Today at 4:18 PM
I believe that with 50 nation requirement it sets a standard. If you go lower than that you risk going into an embassy region that might not be a stable as they appear. I believe setting the minimum at 50 is reasonable. I would even consider going a bit higher on that number if needed. I believe that Conch Kingdom needs to be selective with there embassies and strive to connect with them through events and common bonds. We can not go on just accepting everyone with no real connection between the regions.

The third british empire Today at 4:59 PM
They're the main body in the running of the Alliance, especially after August's well earned retirement.

Penkurth Today at 5:00 PM
Well, I would keep everything like it was in the past. It seemed pretty calm, in my opinion. I would try and do an event with some AA regions to keep a healthy relationship.

Free Azell Today at 5:00 PM
I believe that working with them is the best way forward. If a request is denied and it has been given a clear reason as to why its been denied the topic should be dropped. There is no need to pester or belittle them. Clear and open talks with them in a professional manner is the best approach. I currently do this and plan to continue going forward into my next term as MOFA of Conch Kingdom.

The third british empire Today at 5:02 PM
Good ideas from the both of you, but a little bit of history here. It seems that every 9 months hatred of the AA rears its head like it did last night and I'm sure many will remember the Conchexit vote 9 or so months back (three terms anyway)
But let us not dwell on dreary aspects :smile:
This question is just for @Azell -CK/DN
How have you used your job as Minister of Foreign Affairs to benefit the people of Conch Kingdom (ie. how have you used your post to set up events, or arrangements outside of embassies)?

Free Azell Today at 5:06 PM
In this term I have helped to setup the inter-regional event with The South Pacific which was a huge success. I have added two embassies one with South Pacific and one with The Free Nations region. In addition I worked with our Prime Minister to evaluate the current embassies closing a few of them that were not active any longer or not meeting our current embassy policy. In addition I have kept in touch with most of our current embassies and have even started work on a treaty with one as well. All of this is at the benefit of the region. Tightening up the ship and expanding where needed.

The third british empire Today at 5:08 PM
Boy you know embassies with TSP ans SP will confuse us all
Anyway got a few questions for @spoon now
Slightly aggressive perhaps, be nice to my candidates or I'll get Daddy Merit again....... :rage:
As A New Resident of CK, why should you be MoFA if you lack both the experience and a knowledge of the history of the region?

Penkurth Today at 5:11 PM
Good question, I understand.
However, the fact I'm new doesn't make me dumb in politics. I am determined I can do everything I promise. Everything. Host an event, open a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 embassies in my term. I don't have loads of new ideas, only one which benefits CK.

The third british empire Today at 5:13 PM
Good on you Spoon!!!! :smile:
As I'm cautious of the time for us Brits, I'll have to drop a few questions at some point
Now..... Another one
How do you plan on extending the influence of Conch Kingdom on the NS world stage?

Free Azell Today at 5:17 PM
My plan in the next term is to work to strengthen our current embassy relationships through events and treaties. In addition I would like to approach one or two more influential regions which would make sense to the embassy with. Conch Kingdom is 3rd in most endorsements overall which puts Conch Kingdom as a major player on the World Stage. I hope to use our positioning as a way to leverage relationships with both embassy regions and non-embassy regions. As many of you know I have many contacts in the NS world. I will utilize them to the fullest to ensure Conch Kingdom is well represented on the world stage.

Penkurth Today at 5:18 PM
Well, if I were to establish more embassies CK would be known a bit more. I could also host inter-regional events for CK and large regions.

The third british empire Today at 5:19 PM
Good plans by the both of you. You really don't make it easy for us do you? :stuck_out_tongue:
Here are two of my questions but I'll merge them into one for you :smile:
What are your plans for an Ambassador Corps and how would you establish and promote said corps?

Free Azell Today at 5:22 PM
The first thing you need to do is find willing Ambassadors there is very few in Conch Kingdom wanting to do this. I am hoping with the influx of new nations to find some great ambassadors. The real truth as you know Merit is in the end you as MOFA has to fill those positions by doing them yourself most of the time.

Penkurth Today at 5:22 PM
An Ambassador Corps wouldn't be bad, in my opinion. I would constantly advertise to promote it. To establish the Corps, I would: discuss with the CK government and spread word about it. I would need to find some candidates to be Ambassador aswell.

The third british empire Today at 5:25 PM
Hmm you both have good ideas and many similarities. But a word of advice for Azell, you had a few ambassadors but they admitted they didn't know if they were deployed or not. Is this something you overlooked in the blinding light of events?

Free Azell Today at 5:26 PM
Yes that was a mistaken overlook on my part. This term I will ensure everyone has there assignments and check in regularly with them to get updates. If I found one place i lacked it was in that area

Penkurth Today at 5:27 PM
Could I say something?

The third british empire Today at 5:28 PM
Go ahead

Penkurth Today at 5:28 PM
With all due respect Azell, you have made mistakes in the past? How do citizens know you won't make them again?

Free Azell Today at 5:29 PM
What mistakes are you referring too?

Penkurth Today at 5:30 PM
Well, the ambassadors didn't know if they were deployed.
That's one.

The third british empire Today at 5:30 PM
Oh don't mind me, definitely not my show here
spins in his chair

Free Azell Today at 5:31 PM
Overlooking assignments of ambassadors doesn't mean the regions were not checked in on. I check in on the embassy regions personally quite a bit. Everyone makes mistakes and Conch Kingdom can be ensured that it won't happen again.

Penkurth Today at 5:32 PM
Okay.

The third british empire Today at 5:33 PM
If we're finished we can wrap up with a final question and then a statement from you both?

Penkurth Today at 5:33 PM
Sure!

Free Azell Today at 5:35 PM
ok

The third british empire Today at 5:36 PM
As MoFA, does it matter what to you what person as PM you have?

Free Azell Today at 5:39 PM
As you all know it does matter. Kos and I work very well as a team together. Good chemistry in a regional government works best. I would like a PM that will give me the freedom to do my job but be there when I need advisement. This is get with the great leadership Kos provides this region!

Penkurth Today at 5:40 PM
Well, yes. Maybe the PM could add rules regarding Foreign Affairs, affecting the MoFA's job.

The third british empire Today at 5:41 PM
Well onto your closing statements it is then folks.
Any messages you have, say them now or forever hold your silence :wink:

Free Azell Today at 5:42 PM
My platform is simple Conch Kingdom needs an MOFA that has experience and connections. I provide that and more! I am dedicated to making Conch Kingdom shine in the NSGP community by strengthening current embassy relations and when needed adding influential regions to our limited list of embassies. I am experienced in making the hard choices when needed and dealing with whatever FA matters that come up. My last three months have proven beyond a doubt that I am the right choice for MOFA for Conch Kingdom!

Penkurth Today at 5:43 PM
If you vote for me, you will see improvements in CK foreign affairs. I may be new, but that isn't a good reason to not vote for me. I promise to do at least one event and establish 2-6 embassies.

The third british empire Today at 5:45 PM
Now folks that's all, I've been Merit and now from Conch Kingdom have some free cookies from us.
GOOOOOOODNIGHT AA!!!!!!!!

Penkurth Today at 5:46 PM[/u]
Goodnight!

Free Azell Today at 5:46 PM
Good night all!

Good plans by the both of you. You really don't make it easy for us do you? :stuck_out_tongue:
Here are two of my questions but I'll merge them into one for you :smile:
What are your plans for an Ambassador Corps and how would you establish and promote said corps?

Free Azell Today at 5:22 PM
The first thing you need to do is find willing Ambassadors there is very few in Conch Kingdom wanting to do this. I am hoping with the influx of new nations to find some great ambassadors. The real truth as you know Merit is in the end you as MOFA has to fill those positions by doing them yourself most of the time.

Penkurth Today at 5:22 PM
An Ambassador Corps wouldn't be bad, in my opinion. I would constantly advertise to promote it. To establish the Corps, I would: discuss with the CK government and spread word about it. I would need to find some candidates to be Ambassador aswell.

The third british empire Today at 5:25 PM
Hmm you both have good ideas and many similarities. But a word of advice for Azell, you had a few ambassadors but they admitted they didn't know if they were deployed or not. Is this something you overlooked in the blinding light of events?

Free Azell Today at 5:26 PM
Yes that was a mistaken overlook on my part. This term I will ensure everyone has there assignments and check in regularly with them to get updates. If I found one place i lacked it was in that area

Penkurth Today at 5:27 PM
Could I say something?

The third british empire Today at 5:28 PM
Go ahead

Penkurth Today at 5:28 PM
With all due respect Azell, you have made mistakes in the past? How do citizens know you won't make them again?

Free Azell Today at 5:29 PM
What mistakes are you referring too?

Penkurth Today at 5:30 PM
Well, the ambassadors didn't know if they were deployed.
That's one.

The third british empire Today at 5:30 PM
Oh don't mind me, definitely not my show here

Free Azell Today at 5:31 PM
Overlooking assignments of ambassadors doesn't mean the regions were not checked in on. I check in on the embassy regions personally quite a bit. Everyone makes mistakes and Conch Kingdom can be ensured that it won't happen again.

Penkurth Today at 5:32 PM
Okay.

The third british empire Today at 5:33 PM
If we're finished we can wrap up with a final question and then a statement from you both?

Penkurth Today at 5:33 PM
Sure!

Free Azell Today at 5:35 PM
ok

The third british empire Today at 5:36 PM
As MoFA, does it matter what to you what person as PM you have?

Free Azell Today at 5:39 PM
As you all know it does matter. Kos and I work very well as a team together. Good chemistry in a regional government works best. I would like a PM that will give me the freedom to do my job but be there when I need advisement. This is get with the great leadership Kos provides this region!

Penkurth Today at 5:40 PM
Well, yes. Maybe the PM could add rules regarding Foreign Affairs, affecting the MoFA's job.

The third british empire Today at 5:41 PM
Well onto your closing statements it is then folks.
Any messages you have, say them now or forever hold your silence :wink:

Free Azell Today at 5:42 PM
My platform is simple Conch Kingdom needs an MOFA that has experience and connections. I provide that and more! I am dedicated to making Conch Kingdom shine in the NSGP community by strengthening current embassy relations and when needed adding influential regions to our limited list of embassies. I am experienced in making the hard choices when needed and dealing with whatever FA matters that come up. My last three months have proven beyond a doubt that I am the right choice for MOFA for Conch Kingdom!

Penkurth Today at 5:43 PM
If you vote for me, you will see improvements in CK foreign affairs. I may be new, but that isn't a good reason to not vote for me. I promise to do at least one event and establish 2-6 embassies.

The third british empire Today at 5:45 PM
Now folks that's all, I've been Merit and now from Conch Kingdom have some free cookies from us.
GOOOOOOODNIGHT AA!!!!!!!!

Penkurth Today at 5:46 PM[/u]
