I have enjoyed working with you and know you'll continue to serve Osiris as your home region for a long time. You have my full support and confidence as my successor and future Pharaoh of Osiris. Best of luck to you, my friend.

Thank you Sev. That means a lot.

Question though. How do you believe you will deal with inactivity from your Cabinet?

Thanks Vac!

Hedjet inactivity is unacceptable, with the exception of brief absences for real life circumstances. Maintaining an active Executive is vital to maintaining an active region. Nobody likes to have to remove and replace people, but inactive Scribes would be swiftly removed and replaced under my administration. In cases of legitimate absence, my Vizier and I as well as other Scribes would pick up the slack during the Scribe's absence.

Briefly poking my head out of LoA to formally endorse Cormac.

Moar questions!

I will also likely have a couple of additions to my platform tomorrow, after I've heard back from someone.

You've been more than hospitable to me since I arrived, and the platform I've finally managed to convince myself to read through entirely only assures me of your aptitude. Especially as someone who has known you for a relatively short while.

You have my endorsement/backing/support!

I wanted to announce the following additions to my platform, which are also edited into the OP:

Spoiler

To assist in pursuit of our foreign affairs priorities next term and to better ensure foreign policy continuity beyond next term, if elected I will create the Foreign Policy Advisory Council (FPAC). FPAC will advise the Executive on matters of diplomatic, military, and security affairs, as related to our overall external policy.

FPAC will be comprised of the following:

Pharaoh
Scribe of Horus (Foreign Affairs)
Scribe of Bastet (Security)
ISRA Joint Commander
ISRA Osiris Divisional Commander
ISRI Joint Director
4 Additional Individuals, Selected by the Pharaoh

The FPAC roster will be promptly updated every time that it changes, with each roster preserved so that FPAC membership remains fully transparent over time. This council will be advisory in nature, and ultimate decision making power will still rest with the Pharaoh and with the Scribe or other official responsible for oversight over a designated external policy area.

Spoiler

In order to accomplish the above goals, the Hedjet will be reorganized to make it more efficient, in recognition of our lack of experienced, active, and available personnel. During times of slow activity it's important that the Hedjet is able to contract, then expand again when activity increases, and it is an important quality of a Pharaoh to know when it's appropriate for the Executive to expand or contract.

Under this reorganization, Integration and Culture will be merged into one department, the Priesthood of Isis (Regional Affairs). WA Affairs will also be merged into the Priesthood of Horus (Foreign Affairs), which is appropriate as we seek to make the World Assembly a greater foreign affairs priority. As previously mentioned, I will also be taking a greater role in our WA affairs than previous Pharaohs have taken, which will ease the burden on the Priesthood of Horus.

The Hedjet will, overall, be reorganized as follows:

Priesthood of Isis (Regional Affairs)
Priesthood of Horus (Foreign Affairs)
Priesthood of Bastet (Security)
Priesthood of Seshat (Justice)
Priesthood of Apis (Media)
[Non-Priesthood] ISRA Joint Command (Military Affairs)

Any questions in relation to these platform additions are welcome!
