Indeed, here are some brief thoughts.
-
We need an active, functioning Cabinet, that means that we have a new foreign minister and Vizier to replace Kang. It means that we have a cabinet area to discuss matters. The cabinet members need to be motivated to do their jobs properly, with the ideas of reward or just that the job they are doing is important.
-
You, as the Delegate of The East Pacific needs to motivate the region. You need to be ‘out-there’, posting in threads, or setting up discussion threads, and just showing the region that you are doing something, that you do care about this region.
-
We need an active foreign department, Kang did this job superbly well with her updates, this needs to be continued. Gnid, as previous AG, perhaps you could take over before we lose our embasies to inactivity.
-
The roleplay is good, nothing needs changing, perhaps only that we try and attract more people to it.
-
Some general activity would be good, if we encourage people to just make a topic about something, then encourage people to reply or discuss a topic. The Lounge is full of topics that people just haven’t replied to.
-
I’m undecided about whether I think we need government change, I think we could definitely improve under the current system and Delegate, but whether we will I don’t know.
Any thoughts? I hope to have more ideas when I have more time.

I agree. We need an active, functioning cabinet, that will keep not only the government running properly, but ultimately the region also. I have been looking into finding a replacement for Kang in the positions she currently is appointed to, but not having a lot of extra time myself, it’s been a rather difficult task. However, I am getting back to normal with my schedule, so I look to implement these and other things soon. My administrative duties on this forum are going to continue to be sacrificed as a result, until planned changes in government are implemented.
-
Again, I agree. I do need to be out there, especially more than I have been as of late. Once I get some governmental stuff out of the way, such as the changes we are considering, I’ll be able to be more social, and even be able to pick back up on that RP thread that I’ve left sitting there. It’s all just a juggle of time that I’m learning day-by-day.
-
Once again, I agree. I do miss having Kang as the one getting things done. Again, I am looking into a replacement for her. Until then, I realize we have a pressing need for updates. I know Reziel created one for us, upon Kang’s request. Perhaps if he were to find some time, he could publish another for us. Unfortunately, with all else going on, I’ve not the time to create the updates and go around posting them. I desperately need someone else to do that, for the time being. So I’m open to volunteers and/or recommendations.
-
Role-play is one thing this region thrives on. But the region itself is not thriving enough. So you’re right; we do need to entice more people to get involved in it. Perhaps we could have an organized team of individuals who not only inform other nations in the region about our forum, but also to invite those members to participate in role-play? I could even put a blurb about it in the gasp World Factbook Entry…
-
I don’t know how we would go about doing this one. I honestly don’t. It’s tough to encourage new topics and/or responses, because I’ve found in the past that if someone wants to say something about something, chances are they will; likewise, if they have no interest, they won’t.
-
Again, I am looking for a shakeup in government, with the implementation of an active cabinet. As for its core and foundation, I don’t see any changes being made there; just the shell. I’m pleased with our current Charter and resulting form of government. Other than that, perhaps the incoming Assembly could assist in the effort, with regards to the aforementioned.
Of course, I have ideas of my own. However, as I must now study for a lesson I’m teaching tomorrow, I’ve not the time to go over those ideas just yet. But I did want to take time to respond to your ideas, instead of put it off, sending the wrong message that I might be trying to ignore and avoid the threat, er…thread.
