Kosick's Queries

[Kosick]

i just wanted 2 ask sum questions and also propose sum idea in sum threads, but not wishing 2 interupt wat was being talked about in certain threads, i thought id create my own and put all the queries together.
My first is 2 ask about are alliances because i am not too sure who is are ally, i know we have embassies, but there are regions such as the Atheist Empire who say they are our allies, but i dont see an embassy (im just abit confused as 2 the organisation).
As well as this there are sum nations which do not seem to be are allies, but have a very similar ideology, such as the region; Alliance of Socialist States, and mayb we shud have an embassy with them or do we?

The second query is about elections, i know they are soon and i was just wondering if mayb ministerial position shud have like a vice-/deputy (mayb they do, once again, im new 2 this). but if they dont maybe these deputies shud also b elected, although this wud take up alot of time, or appointed by the elected minister, although this would be less democratic. i bring this up because i wud like 2 help in TPC, although i am nowhere near ready for a ministerial position, so maybe a deputy position for newer memeber like me would help the "elitist" picture sum people have of TPC (i btw, dont have this view) and help newer members become more involued.

The last think i have 2 say, which is probably insignificant, by i saw that the region of Awful Circle is talking about taking over the UN, and although this is unlikely 2 happen, maybe we shud keep an eye on it.

i would be very grateful if people would read this and tell me what they think.

Comrade Kosick, I am pleased to see that you have joined our army and have participated in missions already! Good work and welcome aboard!

1. The Proletariat Coalition is a member of the Red Liberty Alliance, a socialist defender alliance and largely acknowledged as a nationstates superpower with considerable intelligence assets and military assets. We have approximately 15 member regions, including the 4 largest socialist regions in NationStates: TPC, Allied States of EuroIslanders, USK, Anticapitalist Alliance.

The RLA's Central Soviet ( the governing body ) has ratified alliances with The West Pacific, The Emergency Auxiliary Army and Barrier Special Reef Forces. We often work with Pacific Defenders although we are not formally allied.

We have treaties of alliances with the following regions: Equilism, Juxtaposition X, North Pacific, Allied Union of Nations, England.

Atheist Empire and The Proletariat Coalition share a lot of common history. Our fist constitution for example was inspired from theirs but our diplomatic relations haven't survived the test of times really. We are historical allies - but unfortunately, we don't even have embassies to each others anymore.

We have a lot of embassies - way too many to list here but I'm sure someone in the Committee of Foreign Affairs could get you a list.

2. Alliance of Socialist States used to be our allies through the MASS alliance ( Marxist-Anarchist-Socialist-Syndicalist Alliance ) - the predecessor of the RLA - but they did not join the RLA. It is medium-sized, one of our former members, Anarchotopia, is now a member of this region. It is however home to a lot of members of the GLA ( we have no more of these in TPC ) who are quite adverse to the RLA and TPC. Which is sad - perhaps in the future we can change this and at least initiate diplomatic relations with each others. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dobbyniania, started a census of left-wing regions in NationStates with quite good results - check the Committee of Foreign Affairs for more information.

3. Ministers are free to appoint deputies - to be approved by the People's Assembly I believe. If you do not think you are ready for a Ministerial position within the coalition, why not apply for membership in one of our democratic committees? The Democratic Committees are open to everyone and retain authority over the ministers and have a say in policy-making of their respective ministries. All members of TPC are entitled to membership in 3 committees - the People's Assembly reserves the right to bar membership in committees by majority decision though.

3. We spotted Awful Circle awhile ago but we think we overeacted. It's fairly inactive in the political or defending sphere of nationstates and while having impressive numbers it's pretty much unsignificant.

I hope this answers all your questions comrade. Thank you for asking!

[Kosick]

Yes, thank you, that cleared up a lot of questions and unclear aspects of TPC organisation. and i think i will take up your advice and apply for membership in one of the democratic committees
