The same cannot be said for Neo Kervoskia. That is not to mean any disrespect. I am simply curious as to your own vision for this region, an agenda (if you have one), your style of governance, and your public presence/persona (i.e. Koth has a humorous personality and that was reflected in his most recent term as Pharaoh). Could you please expound on your personal and/or political philosophies?
Unrelated to this particular nomination, the following comment is more in relation to the appointment of the Heir Apparent.
I would like to see the deliberation of this Council to last as long as is possible. The Heir Apparent will one day ascend to the highest office in the region. Neither this Council nor any other governing body will have the authority to remove either the Heir Apparent[1] or the Pharaoh. As such, this discussion is the only opportunity available to the populace to ensure that we are entrusting the region's most sacred position to the right nation.
It may very well be that the nominated nation is the most suitable candidate and thus, approval of this Council would be understandably appropriate. However, if members are simply 'bandwagoning', then I would most strenuously advise against doing so. It is the civic prerogative of every nation to exercise their judgements and state their opinions, whether it be in favour or against a matter before this Council.
As cliché as this may seem, there are no right or wrong opinions. If you have one, voice it.
[1]Edit: The Scroll of Ma'at does not state specifically that the Heir Apparent cannot be removed. However, it assumed that he/she cannot be, considering the Pharaoh and Heir Apparent are 'royalty'. If Cormac could provide clarification on this, it would be appreciated.
I've been on NationStates for quite a while now and in all that time I have never encountered a region like Osiris. I remember when Osiris was born - what a chaotic day that was. Armies poured into Osiris, racing to gain control. People were at each other's throats and the future was uncertain. But out of that chaos grew a community. Nations from disparate backgrounds came together to build a home. Osiris became a melting pot and a symbol of opportunity - a land of second chances. Any policy, any agenda comes from that. We must remain open to friendly nations of all backgrounds who can contribute positively to Osiris. I am not a raider, nor a defender, nor an an imperialist, nor a cosmopolitan. I am an Osiran. I have no home or allegiance but to Osiris.
Cormac's reign so far has been exemplary. He has set the tone for how future monarchs should conduct themselves. They should neither force themselves upon every issue nor remain in the background as a figurehead. The Pharaoh s the symbol of unity and regional character, as well as the best security we have against those who wish to undermine our independence. The Pharaoh should be ever watchful, but be judicious in their intervention. They must steer the ship of state through calm and dangerous waters alike.
I am a nuts and bolts person. I focus on the mechanics of a problem and how to solve it. No, I'm not an RPer or a spammer, but I am no less accessible to the people. I have an active Skype presence and should anyone need anything or simply wants to talk I'm there. I prefer to work one-on-one to tackle a problem.
