REGARDING GEORGE HOLLAND
Osiris in the past, has seen diminished foreign relations with various regions caused by the attitudes of its government and senior officials. Europeia was one such region, where our relations suffered due to past events, The West Pacific, Balder, and even The South Pacific are each examples of where we have not handled things properly and thus experienced a less than pleasant diplomatic relationship as a result. Officials of Osiris need to handle diplomatic issues properly, in the proper channels and should refrain from making politically charged, or insulting comments regarding regions which have aided us in public places, those comments undermine our own foreign policy, as well as our government and are not acceptable behaviour for those wishing to remain in the executive.
In the same vein, the Vizier has two duties: one to Osiris and one to the Pharaoh who nominated them. They have to be open with each other, they have to communicate, share ideas, collaborate on projects, speeches and goals in order for their goals to be successful, and most importantly, they need to effectively troubleshoot any problems that appear between them in private, so as not to undermine the government in public.
When a Vizier decides to undermine the Pharaoh rather than taking steps to share a concern privately, then it triggers more concerns than it solves. When someone in that same vein is out of order in a public forum, the Deshret, to the Pharaoh over a matter which did not warrant such a reaction, and then ignores a request from the Pharaoh to discuss it, citing "I've said that all I needed to say", and saying that "I had to make a point to make you realise how silly it sounded" raises concerns that the Vizier is not acting in the best interest of the region, and is instead for whatever reason, causing the opposite effect and attempting to bring drama and strife to a region that has had enough of it.
I made an attempt to resolve the situation, seeking an apology to the President of Europeia for George's comments - the person he deliberately aimed his remarks at. George refused.
I made an attempt to discuss the situation regarding the Deshret, to further understand why he made those remarks. George refused, stating that he'd said all that he needed to.
These two actions, both damage Osiris. The first damages our international standing with Europeia and could damage our standing with other regions who have supported us. The second, damages not just my own standing, but the standing of my Government, and the stability of our region - something we have worked hard on since December.
Those two items were not ideal events, and after the responses to them, I asked for his resignation. He has refused, and has told me to fire him... followed by a thread in the Pharaoh's Palace announcing that "I had sacked him", and that the Deshret wasted their time. I disagree with that claim, and will explain why later.
I will not allow history to repeat itself. We allowed people to get away with dangerous decisions in the past and it brought us a civil war and two coups. It is not in the best interest of Osiris that this continues, and as Pharaoh, your elected Pharaoh, I feel that George Holland has shown himself unfit to serve as Vizier and Vice-Delegate of Osiris.
The Deshret followed my request to name him as Vizier. I originally viewed his offer as a sign that fortunes for Osiris were on the rise - he was a strong leader in his time, and I felt he was seeking a second chance to right the wrongs he felt were committed in the past, I understood that feeling and agreed. However, it would appear that my own judgement was amiss in that I did not realise that whatever feeling he had to right those wrongs would so quickly vanish when he was close to the seat of power.
George Holland-Stark, was the fifth Pharaoh of Osiris. The named Successor to Lyanna Stark. He came to the helm when tensions with Empire were beginning to boil, and under his reign, they went public after he removed Biyah from the centre of power. The retaliation of that, was the December 2012 Empire coup. Later on that year, we were brought closer to war with Gatesville Inc after arguments in the Sovereign Confederation channel between him and Queen Nevadar brought both forces to the brink of war following tensions caused by Milograd's Socialist Republic South Pacific, aka TSP's 2013 Coup. He resigned, shortly after the event but left a region divided bitterly. When he offered to be my Vizier, I had hoped that he sought to fix the divides that he had caused, and to help build Osiris stronger and greater than before... and the Deshret saw my hopes and agreed with my choice. For that, it was not a waste of the Deshret's time, for they believed that George would be a key aspect in making Osiris greater than ever before... faith that appears to have been misplaced as we face this difficult situation now.
To make matters worse, there has since been an attempt to cause drama in #osi pertaining to this. This is further evidence to me, that George is unfit to serve as Vizier. This region does not need drama, and when someone who has been part of this region attempts the same tactics as Biyah and Empire, it is important that we put a stop to it immediately.
After consulting with various advisers on this matter, I feel that I have no other options but to request the Deshret to recall George Holland as Vizier and Vice-Delegate of Osiris.
I have asked for his resignation, and I do not enjoy this. I feel however, that in the interests of Osiran stability, and community that the I have no other options but to request this from the Deshret.
In his place, I would like the Deshret to confirm, long-time citizen and member of the Legion, Ygfbv as Vizier and Vice-Delegate of Osiris.
