Today marks the beginning of a new day, and a new beginning for Taijitu. As the NS world seems to grow ever more violent and uncertain, Taijitu has grown ever more apathetic and lackluster. The senate accomplishes nothing, preferring to bicker rather than legislate. A feeder has fallen to an empire which would seek to do us harm. In fact, an attack by Gatesville may very well be imminent as we speak, though information is admittedly sketchy at the moment.
Taijitu needs a revamping, a new course and a new place on the world stage, and to be free of much of the dead weight holding her in the throws of mediocrity. Myself and other members of government, have come to the decision to make effective, starting immediately, the following.
The senate is disbanded and considered null and void.
The constitution is hereby revoked, pending rewrite.
Martial Law is enacted, and will be enforced quickly, and without hesitation.
Our region is going to be entering a transitional stage over the coming days. The new permanent members of government are as follows.
I shall assume the role of Delegate Indefinitely.
Pragmia is appointed High Justice of Taijitu and shall be the sole judicial authority.
PoD Gunner is appointed Praetor and shall be in command of Military Forces both at home, and abroad.
Other ministers may keep their positions, and should they do so, will be filling the same job functions as previously.
Basically, what this means in regards to every day life in Taijitu, isn't much. RP will continue ungoverned and unregulated. All aspects of the forum will pretty much continue as usual. The exceptions to this being the senate areas and that forum security will be heightened. The principles of free speech will remain intact, to a degree. Speak what you will but be mindful that harsh criticisms (normal critiques are fine, but no "hate speech")or threats to the gov't will be dealt with accordingly, and swiftly. We will be wanting as many as posible to get involved in various areas of the region.
Some changes will be made to Taijitu's foreign policy as well. Neutrality is hereby revoked. Invasions and/or raids, as well as "counter invasions", will take place at the discretion of the executive and military branches of government. A doctrine of pre-emptive strike may be adopted in order to deal with perceived and credible threats to our region, or our region's interests, anywhere in the world. The war against the Westwind regime will continue, and will do so, until TNP is under leadership which does not pose a threat.
In the coming days, a new constitution will be introduced. Democracy will continue to live in Taijitu, albeit not in its current form.
I realise that many of you will find these changes to be at the least, abrupt, and perhaps disagreeable. However, realise that said changes are felt to be in the best interests of Taijitu. It is understood that some may wish to leave, should you do so, know that there will be no reprisals or harassment. Instead of departures, I would like to see these changes bring about a greater awareness of our region, and the world at large, and spark renewed interest in our regions future.
The coming days may be chaotic, how chaotic is up to you all. Let Taijitu move forward into the future, and into history as the greatest of all regions.
Hail Taijitu!
