[hr]Nesapo’s Regional Happenings[hr]
Ikania Reelected as Delegate in Tied Election
Around a week into the month of August 2013, the week-long election process ended after 3 rounds, the old Delegate Ikania proving victorious. This was much to the surprise of many of the residents; the other candidate to have made it into the second and third rounds, The Republic of Llamas, had the support of several active members of Nesapo, including founder Bodobol and fellow candidate Luziyca.
These were the first democratic elections for Nesapo, a region founded in April of 2013. Ikania had been Delegate since a couple of days after it’s founding, ruling until early July as the nation Mojave, which was unfortunately killed by a giant hammer by mystical, deity-like beings known as ‘Mods’. The first round of the election featured four candidates: TROL, Ikania, Orentor and Luziyca. Ikania and TROL both progressed to the second round with 6 votes each, and the latter two candidates got kicked out after receiving only one vote each. There was a small amount of surprise when Bodobol announced he would not be running for regional Delegate.
Near the end of the first round, it had seemed the Ikania would win reelection in the first round, with seven votes compared to TROL’s six. However, much alarm was raised when it was discovered that the offsite forum’s Admin account, under the control of Bodobol, TROL and Ikania, had been used to vote for the current Delegate. Accusations of voting fraud flew at Ikania from Bodobol, though TROL decided it was simply an accident, and the additional vote was removed. And so both candidates progressed to the second round.
During this round, the arguments over who would become the next Delegate became tense. The RMB was constantly flooded with heated debates, and lighthearted conversation was virtually nonexistent. TROL and Ikania tied yet again, with 3 votes each. However, when it was discovered that Luziyca had stated his stance as pro-TROL on the thread yet forgot to vote on the poll, the arguments began anew. It culminated with TROL, sick of the fighting, nearly left Nesapo for good for a region known as Nerdfighteria. Eventually the Nesapoli Council ruled that there would be a third round.
The third round was short-lived and pointless; Ikania garnered one vote, but soon after the start of the third round, TROL announced he was dropping out from the elections. Ikania became Delegate for another four-month term (actually, this is a special case; this term is to be the only five-month long term), and TROL became Vice Delegate, staying in Nesapo. By the time the elections had ended, none of the TROL supporters really cared that Ikania won; they were just happy the fighting was over and there could be fun conversations on the RMB again.
[hr]About Nesapo[hr]
What is Nesapo’s core ideology?
Nesapo is generally accepting of most governmental ideologies, although fascist and anarchist nations are not typically allowed (but don’t ask the Founder why anarchists aren’t allowed; he wants to get this repealed, he’s just too lazy too currently). At our core, though, we are a group of nations dedicated to generally improving the quality of life worldwide; similar to the United Nations, for instance. We prefer pacifist methods, but we are not strangers to war; examples of Nesapoli wars include the Dragomerean and Elmorican wars, one of which ended in a stalemate (only because the other guy was a godmodder and refused to accept defeat >:c), and the other was a victory.
Why can’t the guy writing this think of anything else to put here?
Because he’s tired and he has stuff to do tomorrow. He’ll edit this post once he thinks of more stuff.
