Delegate History

Delegate elections are currently held every three months in The West Pacific forums

The Federation of Commercial Affairs - Invader nation from the Atlantic Central Command, that even though became Delegate for the wrong reasons, became one of the greatest Delegates ever.

The Free Republic of Norion – Norion deposed the former dictator by use of guerrilla action in which many nations were banned. During office he survived three separate elections from SLR, Erlad & Darlin and though received allegations of abuse of power was the first to establish a constitution and introduce ministers, he was in office for about one year.

The Rightly Guided Republic of Berhampore - Won a very hotly contested election between himself, Norion, MVS (Kurdazistan) and Gosstoepia, which was marked by allegations of NPO spies and ADN interference. Berhampore's first act was to disband the previous Constitution and work on a new one which came into force on the 30 of June 2004 after ConCom II ( see West Pacific Slang ).

The United Commonwealth of Biteland - Due to a game glitch gained the delegacy for 2 days, in which he was quite sane, and allowed the regualar government to continue. Previously he had been regent, which shows that the system of having a trustable 2nd in command works. Berhampore re-gained the delegacy shortly afterward.

The Rightly Guided Republic of Berhampore - Regained Delgacy after the glitch and was voted in for anouther term by the council of the West Pacific

West Pacific Governmental History

CEO of Provisional government - Prime Minister

Lanier – Lanier was a patriot and one of the most liked players ever to grace the game called NationStates. He was also the Chair of the second Constitution Convention. After a long Absence Lanier has returned to the game of NationStates.

- Changed to Prime Minister -

Minineenee - The first Prime Minister of the West Pacific. So far Ninee ( see West Pacific Slang ) has had an impeccable record within the regional both pre and post her ascension by vote to the Top Role. Her enthusiasm and genuine warmth has been a cornerstone for the region through times of heightened tensions. She appointed Zetaone as her Deputy.

Vice Delegate/ Regent

Darlin - She came a close 2nd in the second last election so Norion created the position of Vice Delegate which could have a high endorsement level than most players and could move into the top position if something happened to the delegate. Darlin's term in Office was a short one as mods kicked her out of the UN for apparent rule infringements.

MVS( Kurdazistan ) - he was Darlin's replacement and was appointed by Norion. Other than ruffling a few feathers with his sometime abrupt stile of leadership MVS's time in office was generally a positive one with his creation of House Absolute as the new law body in the West Pacific. When it came time for the next election this all changed. MVS reveled he was Kurdazistan which led, to what he described as a witch hunt against Kurd's past involvement with the NPO. this led to the ADN unofficially interfering with sovereign election when they supported Norion in endorsements after MVS had pulled in front. When Berhampore was elected MVS and Kurdazistan were ejected but after a few days were allowed back into The West Pacific after petitions by many members of the public and government.

- Changed to Regent -

Biteland – Placed into this position by Berhampore because he was his running mate in the last election. BIteland was The west Pacific's first Regent under the new consistiotion. His time in this position was less controversial than the last two Vice Delegates. During his time BIteland fostered community pride and was effectually dubbed Mr. Plan B ( see West Pacific Slang ) . BIteland Filled in for Berhampore during the UN Glitch and though tempted he did not Banject ( see West Pacific Slang ) those annoying players within the Region. BIteland stepped down from the position to find a more active role within the Government.

Guilder Channel - The newly appointed Regent of the West Pacific. A well liked and trusted member of the region Guilder Channel's appointment by Berhampore was received warmly by the region.

Ineedsleep & Schwarzchild - Elected by the Council and the Grand Assembly (note Guilder Channel was promoted to the position of Associate judge when Schwarzchild was promoted to Chief Justice, he stepped down on the return of Schwarzchild to his Associate Judge position)

Political Affairs Minister - Speaker of the Council

Gosstoepia - One of the longest serving Ministers, Gosstoepia has overseen 4 separate elections as well as being a prominent member and moderator of the Off-Site Forums as well as a all around nice guy.

- Changed to Speaker of the Council -

Gosstoepia – Only new to the job he appears to be going well in the position he won running against Freedom and Pride in one of the most hotly contested elections. He quickly appointed Freedom and Pride to the deputy speaker position, and since then, both have been working as a team. Gosstoepia has just started the election cycle for the Speaker Role, so time will tell is he is returned or a new speaker is elected.

Speaker of the Grand Assembly

Pax Romania - Pax stepped down on his acceptance into the council

Big-G of Neandertron - Replaced Pax as Speaker but recently has also been accepted into the council, so Big-G ( see West Pacific Slang )is acting in the role until a replacement is found

Public Affairs - Communications Minister

Biteland – Biteland was the first person elected into the position of Public Affairs minister in which he remained until the disbandment of the constitution under Berhampore. During his time the New Players handbook was written, also he tried to provide both side to the story when Norion ejected many of his running nations during, before or after elections most notable Darlin and Lanier. BIteland ran uncontested in his second election to the position but did not contest the new Communications Ministry as he was promoted to Regent.

- Changed to Communications Minister -

The Acutely Obtuse – TAO ( see West Pacific Slang ) has completely rearranged the Communications Ministry during his time as Minister. He added ComRangers as well as becoming a check for nominees for a ministry/council/GA/delegate positions. He has recently appointed Biteland as his deputy.

Intelligence Ministry

Pontre Vedra

Task Force Totality

Jiredy

Crazy Cats – may have been the highest placed spy ever to infiltrate the government of the West Pacific. His NPO affiliations were finally uncovered after the Lanier - Norion debacle.

Harkinnen (acting)- One of the most disliked players in The West Pacific, weather this was justified or not. He only had a short service as Minister as he was ejected as Berhampore came to power.

- Changed to Director of Intelligence -

Faithful Lutherans - Left due to real life issue. He was Intel. Director for TSP as well.

Zetaone - Left the posistion to take over the AG posisition after Jiredy Left.

Regional Awards

West Pacific Order of Freedom

Mars University - A combative, opinionated, brash, insulting but for all that a brave and freedom loving nation fought back. He founded the Team Advantage forum - an unheard of idea! An 'alternate' forum to the official regional forums? Had that even been done before? It was a great idea and showed that the fight was not hopeless, that freedom of expression, freedom of speech WAS still a part of the West Pacific ideal. In recognition of the work, of the bravery, of the independent thought in defense of freedom of this nation, I, Berhampore, Delegate of the region of the West Pacific, do hereby grant the nation of Mars University an Award of the Order of Freedom. Aude sapere! Dare to Be Wise!

Lanier - There is little else I can say that many, many other nations have not already said about Lanier. His intelligence, wit and sheer energy recreated the West Pacific into the dynamic society it is today. In recognition of the indispensable courage and wisdom he had demonstrated, I, Berhampore, Delegate of the region of the West Pacific, do hereby grant the nation of Lanier an Award of the Order of Freedom. Aude sapere! Dare to Be Wise!
