NationStates Jolt Archive

Welcome to 'Meet The Reps' an NSUN resource for those making proposals, considering posting, or just want to know who's who.

Please note that inclusion on the list dose not mean these people like to be telegrammed about proposals.

The index is split into three parts; alphabetical order, what they are likely to support, and what they aren’t likely to support. The last is based on the proposal categories.

If you would like an entry added or edited please do so.

If you have any questions, comments, or want your listing in the contents changed just telegram me. (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/00278/page=display_nation/nation=the_black_new_world)

Enodia

Name: Graf von Hermannstein
Age: Late 20s/Early 30s
Position: Chairman of General Assembly
Dislikes: Illegal proposals, repeals, rampant free trade insanity
Likes: Legitimate Proposals, well-thought-out argument
Background: Von Hermannstein is a contemporary and distant relative of Enodia's head of state, Grand Duke Grigory. Having completed his Baccalaureate at the prestigious Universitat Traunstein, majoring in Politics and History, he undertook an amount of legal training and is continuing this part-time. Having joined the Diplomatischezivildienst Enodias (Enodian Diplomatic Service), von Hermannstein undertook intensive training in several languages before being posted to the United Nations.

Name: Daniel Morgan Hillaker
Age: 38
Position: Minister of Foreign Affairs (appointed)
Dislikes: Jurgen Habermas, country music, sushi, biology, white wine, ignorance, payphones, and logical fallacies
Likes: cigars, anthropology, international law, coffee, philosophy, jazz, foucauldian theory, sociology, and pasta
Background: Born into a middle-class family from one of the more financially downtrodden suburbs of Santa Andrea, Sophista's capitol, Daniel's early years are rather uninteresting. *His father was a second-rate politician - the kind that gave public servants a bad name. *A night when he didn't come home furious over an interview or campaign matter was rare one indeed, and as a result Daniel spent next to no time with his father. *His mother, on the other hand, was a broken-spirited housewife whose daily routine consisted of little more than laundry and soap operas. *Had it not been for school, Dan may very well have ended up some sewer-rat entrepreneur, peddling the illicit in order to support his family. *Luckily, his educators gave him the opportunity to shine.

By the time highschool came around, Daniel had been offered a full-tuition scholarship from one of the most prominent private institutions in the greater Santa Andrean area. It was here he blossomed into the powerful intellectual we see so much of today. Those halls taught him not only the lessons of the classroom, but also the lessons of life. *Here he found his destiny in the hands of the public. *He had a mind for international relations, and he intended to make the most out of it.

After graduating from the academy with some of the school's highest **honors, *it was only a short trip to Canton University, Sophista's top college, the following fall. *Over the course of the*next six years, under the instruction of the som of the world's finest professors, Daniel completed not only his double major, but also a pair of masters and a PhD. With an armful of degrees under his belt, Daniel set out into the dangerous world of politics on his own. ******

That was fourteen years ago. *Now, at the age of 38, Daniel sits at the head of Sophista's Foreign Ministry, a job that he was appointed to by President M. Aaron Hammonds. His practical knowledge and extensive academic expertise have proven invaluable to the Sophistan governmentm, and people at home seem to think that his voice is one of the more influential in the halls of the United Nations.

Mikitivity

File Name: 10kMichael
Function: Confederated City States of Mikitivity's UN Ambassador,
North Pacific Region Diplomatic Corps UN Rep.
Psi Rating: Classified
Primary Speciality: Environmental & Energy Policy
Secondary Speciality: Outreach
Birthplace: The Pitt, Miervatia, Mikitivity
Sign: Ophiuchus (the snake handler)
Dislikes: Opinions presented as facts, poorly researched positions, God modding (especially by getting into arguments over common English words), fratboys, and pop-music
Likely to Support: Sustainable Development & Environmental Accords, Basic Human Rights, Civil Rights Initiatives, Disarmament Treaties, Cultural and Information Exchange Programs, Basic Sovereignty Issues, Humanitarian Aid

Notes: Not much is known about 10kMichael, other than the fact that before the C.C.S.M. joined the NationStates UN, he served as the Confederation's Minister of Environment after years of service in various governmental environmental organizations. 10kMichael is often recalled to the C.C.S.M. and the North Pacific regional meetings.

The Representative for Komokom :

Name: " - The Rep of Komokom ". And that is about it. Well ...

Has an alter ego known as T.R. Kom running around, but only to annoy another representative on these forums.

* Pokes out tongue at the Galdago representative.

Also known as - Le Représentant de Komokom. Ministre Régional de Substance. L'Ordre de Vaillant États.

When I remember to copy & paste my sig. stuff. Grrr.

Function : Errr, - The Rep of Komokom. :wink:

Primary Speciality: Defending the U.N. Forum from, well, the usual.

Secondary Speciality: U.N. lore, law, and, errr, stuff.

Marital status : Single, not looking.

Pet hates : An awful lot of things, the top lot on the list being :

1) People, in general, :wink:

2) People who do not use the U.N. Forum for U.N. threads.

3) People who write really, really, really, bad proposals.

4) People who try to defend really, really, bad proposals.

5) And people who refuse to see why I am completely right.

Will probably support : Worth-while proposals, sensible resolutions, previous passed law. And the United Nations. And poking fun at stuff. Also likes the idea of precedent regarding National Issues versus writing a thus redundant U.N. Proposal.

Reality : Australian. Male. 18. Studying Certificate 4 in Lab Technology at TAFE. Next year wants to study Pathology at TAFE. Then maybe something at university. Would consider being a Forum Moderator one day, but is not fussed about it, just likes to help new players. And semi-protect U.N. Forum from blatantly rule ignorant. Interest in current affairs in technology and national and international events.

Likes TIME magazine.

For certain reasons involving fate and teenage sex statistics. :wink:

Is considering writing the Ultimate N.S.U.N. + Forum Guide, after the move to Jolt, and things settle down a bit.

Name: Stephanie Fulton
Age: 24
Function: Stephanie, following the departure of her long term comrade Hannah, has devoted herself fully to the UN. She represents the Council of Enn fully and completely, but still manages to unwind in the Strangers' Bar.
Pet Hates: repeals, appeals, region pimping, nazis and people who cheat at Twister.
Will probably support: Civil Rights, environmental law, education, Human rights
Other information: Stephanie has honed her skills at card games extremely well, and particularly enjoys playing bridge. If left to her own devices, she can often be found sitting in the Bar, playing patience. She has also shown that she can play pool with a fare amount of skill.

The Black New World:

Name: Lady Desdemona of Merwell
Function :Posh git, and senior UN representative.
Marital status: Married to Lord Geoffrey of Merwell
Pet hates:Repeals and amendments, proposals that take away civil rights, use of religion to support arguments, the sanctity of life despite it’s quality, and bans on types of governments (especially dictatorships)
Will probably support: Any resolutions her fellow region members support and Civil rights, sane environmental, drug legalisation, and banning capital punishment (it’s a logic thing).
Other: Born in New Manchester and a close personal friend of Queen Rosalind I, Desdemona holds a degree in English and is currently studying for her ethics degree.

Although Des left us for a wile she is now back to take care of delegate stuff.

What is 'Gay Science'?

The traditional question at the end of Desdemona's posts reads 'do you know what ‘gay science’ is?' unfortunately no one does.

Gay science started in one of my favourite threads by one of my favourite people. The great representative of Komokom was made famous when he opened this thread [link] (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=125650&highlight=).

The flames started pouring in.

The most entertaining was made by one Sephtoria;

But here is the question are you gay science this so important to you and your country I am going to disagree i do not want a country full of homosexuals I talk to the UN about this situtation and you will BE HEARING FROM SEPHTORIA
Of course the argument is completely stupid but it brought up an interesting point.

Rehochipe thought Sephtora was being philosophical;

Black New World,
Last I checked, 'gay science' was a minor work of Friedrich Nietzsche's, detailing (to quote a random review) 'the death of God, the problem of nihilism, the role of truth, falsity and the will-to-truth in human life, the doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and the question of the proper attitude to adopt toward human suffering and toward human achievement'.

Personally, I'd have imagined that if God was dead the possibility of him hating homosexuals would have decreased marginally, but I have no doubt that the representative for Sephtoria is more well-versed in such matters than I.

Thackeray Sung
Ministry of Personal Growth


But Rehochipe, although delightfully sarcastic, was a bit off. Enn filled us in;
I FOUND IT! I've been looking for those words in their original context for much time.

Desdemona: I think the 'gay science' is in fact meant to be 'gay since'. But don't let that spoil your fun

The full translation stands;
But here is the question- are you gay, since this so important to you and your country. I am going to disagree I do not want a country full of homosexuals! I am talking to the UN about this situation and you will BE HEARING FROM SEPHTORIA!

Now I've taken all the fun out of it.

Name:

Depends on the issue being debated...
Illegal Armaments, National Security, Global Disarmament, ect: Torin nan Hour

Civil Rights, Political Stability, Sovereignty Issues, International Politics: HPEH James the Sorta-Elven

Moral Decency, Human Rights, anything not covered by another delegate: Jeanette Lupos


Function:

Torin: Cheif Weapons Expert
HPEH James: Head of State/Government
Jeanette: Liason on human affairs and mysticisms

Age:

Torin: 300+
HPEH James: 17
Jeanette: 32


Martial Status:

Torin and Jeanette are Single
HPEH James is currently unknown


Primary Speciality:

Collectively International Law, Millitary Science, Theology, Linguistics, Millitary History, Human studies, ect...


Secondary Speciality:

collectively Elvish Literature, Natural Sciences, General History

Pet hates:

collectively those who hunt elves, repeals, orcs, proposals supporting the forcing of religious views, people who whine about the UN (shut up or get out), thsoe who belong to the right wing (more of a idealogically oppose rather than hate), and for HPEH James homophobes...

Will probably support:

Sensible proposals that are decently thought out, proposals furthering the rights of the people, religious tolerance, sensible gun control, proposals generally supportive to an atmosphere of peace, diversity, and tolerance.


Other:


James is technically half-elven rather than sorta elven. He has chosen the immortal life of an elf but is different from the rest of that kindred taking considerable notice in the affairs of humans and it was in the first year of his term that Caras Galadon was made generally open to the world.

James is the youngest person ever elected as the premeir in Caras Galadon being 15 at the time of his election. He is a compassionate and hard working person and is benevolent towards the populace in general but he takes a hard stance when it comes to controlling the influx of the religions of men. He speaks English and French well as well as the high-elven tongue.

Torin nan Huor was selected by the previous administration to be the Cheif Weapons Expert and HPEH James has yet to find anyone more suited to the role. He is a hard man with a sensible attitude on life. He devotes most of his time to making SALW smaller, deadlier, and cheaper but he has a deep concern with keeping such weapons strictly in legal hands.

Jeanette Lupos is currently the only human member of the Galadisian government. HPEH James appointed her as his liason on human affairs to challenge a law made by the previous administration banning humans from participating in government. James originally had intended to close the position was the law was repealled but he has come to value her insight and intelligence on matters regarding humans and issues generally pertaining thereof. Therefore she continues to serve in this position and now has a sizeable staff beneath her.



EDIT: I added quite a bit of information to this and added two new reprisentatives to flesh out the Galadisian UN team.

Name: (Lord) Michael Evif
Age: Late 40s
Position: United Nations Ambassador, High Council Member (ex officio)
Note: The title of "Lord" or "Lady" is given to any High Council member - it is not hereditary.
Likes: Liberal-leaning proposals, negotiations, pestering delegates for support
Dislikes: Rule-violating proposals, the Fantasanian ambassador
Background: Lord Evif grew up in Ayala, the largest city in southern Goobergunchia. After graduating summa cum laude from the prestigious Besselar University, he was elected to the Low Council from the Gonzal constituency at age 28. At age 35, he was placed on the Liberty Party's High Council list and was succesfully elected. At age 43, he was designated UN Ambassador by the Liberty Party convention and has served in that capacity ever since.

[Note: Goobergunchia has since resigned from the UN for OOC (Gameplay) reasons. However, I still post on these forums with Evif anyway; it's too much fun not to. :P]

Peaceful Tribes of Collaboration
One delegate, all others excused themselves
Known as "Coll"; legal name Hob Niall
Likes animals and good wine
Dislikes turnips and practical jokes

The delegate, like the nation, would like to work toward cooperative action for the common good

Sometimes since there is no other delegate to take a turn, he may get testy and lose composure.

Writes poetry (well), juggles (badly), can carry a tune, hates to see even a sworn enemy mistreated.

The Holy Empire of Gethamane's Representative:
Name: Pontiff Justin Gautier
Age: 35
Position: Pontiff in the Church of Naucism and Minister of International Affairs
Dislikes: People who can't be bothered to read the rules, logical fallacies (outside The Church :twisted: ), Repeals, Hypocricy (outside The Church), Proposals written by monkies... Or really stupid Reps.
Likes: International Law, especially Precedents, well-written Proposals, Religious Mandate, and Reason
Will probably support: Proposals that don't interfere with specific government types/Naucist political agenda, Environmental concerns (within reason), National Sovereignty, civil rights (except where they interfere with The Church).

Thank you for your ongoing support.

The Black New World

Name: Giordano (we don’t have last names)
Marital status: Single
Pet hates: issues covering abortion, gay marriage, guns, repeals and amendments.
Will probably support: Nothing.
Other: Assistant to Desdemona. Armed with standard responses to stupid questions.

Name: Elsepeth Rose Nibbling
Age: 27
Marital status: Two current marriages
Position: Minister of Being Nice, Rehochipe
The Ministry of Being Nice covers welfare, environmental, and criminal issues, and Nibbling is therefore the Minister most often required to speak before the UN.
Likes: Small cute kittens, espresso, even-handed argument, margaritas
Pet hates: people who spell her name incorrectly, draconian 'crime-reducing' proposals, people who fail to realise that not all countries have the same laws, social darwinists, taramasalata, nations that pretend that if you ignore environmental issues they'll go away, milk, stupid hippies who vote for anything green without considering its appropriateness, pseudo-Irishness; logical fallacies; the spawn of Ayn Rand; babies
Will probably support: carefully thought-out, well-written progressive social and environmental policy, provided it respects sovereignty
Specialities: Pointing out the bleeding obvious so sweetly that you don't realise she's being condescending; beating retributionists over the head with hardback editions of Discipline and Punish; responding to chat-up lines with feminist theory; smoking crafty reefers during long and tedious speeches; skipping about like a twelve-year-old.

Name: Sir Albert Eckythump Threlthwaite
Age(d): well in oak barrels
Function: To represent the gloriousness of Bahgum, sneer at Southern softies and drink..lots.....
Marital Status: Yes, hence the dreaded mother in law
Pet Hates: Visiting the in-laws, shandy, Serious 'this is a real UN proposers' and all things politically correct
Will probably support: Anything intelligently daft
Other information: Famed Bahgumian camel racer, known for his ability to consume vast quantities of mind altering Blue Bahgumian Brandy, whilst simultaneously playing twister and grumble about the lack of humour in the UN.
Language: Northenish- and reet proud an'all

Name: Jack Slade (born Meriwether Humperdink)
Age: 42
Background: Bachelor's degree in economics from Cabinia's esteemed Sierra Madre National University, Master's from Stockholm University, Sweden. Served 3 years as an intern at the Great Cabin under Prime Minister Frederick the Infinitely Corrupt's administration, but was not implicated. Joined the Cabinian Diplomatic Corps in '84, with various postings. Appointed to regional council as official delegate in 89. Assigned to the UN as Cabinia's first delegate in 1994. Was removed from the post in 1996 when the Cabinian government withdrew from the UN, partly due to his urging. Accepted a temporary post in '97 as an advisor on foreign relations in the Great Cabin until he lost this post due to an internal audit that slashed the size of government. Found employment as a technical advisor on news network CNTV, promoted to field journalist assigned to the UN in 99. Since 2001 he has also been recognized by the Great Cabin as official liason to the UN, meaning he can speak for Cabinia to UN member states, but, as Cabinia still refuses to join, cannot actually vote. He sits in on sessions in his role as journalist.
Dislikes: Artificial sweeteners, warm beer, the overwhelming socialist and father-knows-best leaning of the UN.
Likes: Small government, national sovereignty, open markets, and warm Scotch (single malt, none of that blended garbage).

The Democratic States of Liberabiteria

name: Sal Santana
age: 46
position: UN Ambassador General
background: Ex-Armed Revolutionary Liberation Fighter Sal Santana has a long history in the leadership of Liberabiteria dating back to the infamous Freedom wars that lead to the independence of Liberabiteria. He has received over 2 dozen special medals related to valor, courage, and selflessness in combat.

Before the Freedom wars, Ambassador General Santana was deeply involved with spreading the message of Libertarianism. Fortunately (and unfortunately), it was an easy message to sell. At that time, the current Marxist government had begun to implement a method of tracking it's populace with experimental embedded computer chips. Sal Santana is credited as being the first to refuse the procedure, and spent 14 months in The People's Prison, the ex-government's prison for political resistors.

After a series of interrogations that lasted for weeks on end, Sal was able to trick the interrigators into believing that he was close to death, thus was able to escape from prison and meet up with the Armed Revolutionary Liberation Fighters to plan their first strike on the Jameson Bridge. Though that first battle was a loss, it was a then that he began to make a name for himself in battle. It is reported that he saved dozens of lives with his leadership and valor, and is given much credit to the fact that our forces only lost 17 men in that battle.

After the wars, Sal was appointed the highest rank in the armed forces of Commander General. Sal completed his 2 terms of 4 years highlighted by the Reconciliation Act which was proposed by himself. This act allowed those that wished to enter the country to do so at their own free will, supplied that they were able to prove they were not criminals fleeing capture in their own country.

Sal then decided to retire in a quiet home in the state of Henryton, but soon felt the need to defend the rights of individuals and nations when Liberabiteria decided to join the UN.

Sal Santana has now been elected three times to the post of Ambassador General, and has a consistent record of defending soveriegn nations' right's against the controlling nature of the UN.

Term of Office

Sir Alexander has ceased office by way of letters of termination to the secretary general of the United Nations, after the United Kingdom of Austica withdrew from the UN.

**PLEASE NOTE*** Austica left the United Nations on Monday 31st May 2004, after lengthy debate over the UN's increased control over domestic affairs inside member nations. Austica objected to the UN passing resolutions which were forced upon nations as "law" when such resolutions had a huge negative impact on the national economy. Citizens of Austica voted in a referendum on Saturday the 29th May 2004. The question was: "Should the Kingdom of Austica remain in the United Nations?" The outcome:
Yes: 12%
No: 88%
As a result the Government immediately passed the relevant laws repealling the United Nations Act 2003, and recalling the ambassador from the UN. The King signed all documents, and sent a personal telegram to the UN secretary General on Sunday, and the Ambassador resigned on the Monday.

Name: Skyhawk
Age: 35
Position: Prime Minister, Grand Funk Council of Upper Marzipania
Dislikes: sloppy thinking and writing
Likes: social justice, progressive yet sustainable legislation
Background: A broadcaster, writer, and businessman, Skyhawk created numerous sustainable businesses and was an innovator in the field. A number of his businesses revolved around the arts and community needs, and proved that business could operate profitably under ethical standards.

Moving into government during Upper Marzipania’s “Secret Revolution” which laid the groundwork for spectacular change of entrenched systems into open, participatory models, Skyhawk was elected by a large majority within his riding and assembled a strong coalition of parties committed to open-ended democracy.

Name: Marc Smith
Position: President, UN-delegate
Dislikes: socialism, intrusion in national souveraignity (especially intrusions of the UN in the social and tax policy of the sovereign nation state)
Likes: Free-trade, free-markets, fighting terrorism, evil-doers and region crashers, global sercurity, preservation of national souvereignity
Background: young president of a young country and founder and regional delegate of the new region Futura. Believes in free-market economies and is in favour of conservative and (economic) liberal policies.
Kybernetia replaced the first representative of this region The Constitutional Monarchy of Spacemen and cowboys because this nation firstly supported the 40-hour-week, after pressure by other countries withdrew it support for it and voted against it but was not doing enough to convince other nations to vote against this resolution and preventing it from being passed. Therefore Kybernetia, which was and is a strong opponent of such resolutions was endorsed by all nations and became regional representative. The The Constitutional Monarchy of Spacemen and cowboys finally left the region, but later rejoined it.
On June, 11 the rogue state republic of Parroting was trying an uprising against us, the legitimate delegate of Futura and shortly replaced us from that position. But within less than 24 hours we were able to push down his uprising and reinstall ourself as the democratically legitimate regional delegate. We want to warn all nations for Parroting and other evil doers, terrorists and region crashers.


The region Futura is a free-trade region including all its member states. The Republic of Kybernetia, under his president Marc Smith plays as founder and regional delegate an important role in the region.

Name: Haruka Tenou
Age: 35
Position: UN Delegate of the twin nations of Ichi Ni and JuuNi
Region: Megazone 23
Dislikes: Arrogence, Might makes Right mentallity, hypocrits.
Likes: Fairness, Japanese Anime/Manga, Playing Devils Advocate, RPG Games.

UN Proposals will be voted for/supported:
Anything not a National Issue. Anything well thought out and well written out. Anything not designed to force Nations to change internal policies or political ideals.

UN Proposals not voted for/supported:
National Issues reworded to sound International. Vague resolutions that can be "mis-interpreted," Anything designed to take a Nation's right of Self Leadership.

Notes:
Although I do have my standards. As Delegate, I have to vote for the good of my Region as well as any and all nations in my regions. I try to be fair-minded and thus tend to play Devil's Advocate to see the "other side" of all issues. As a Debater (High School/University) it became a habit.

Normally shy and reserved, I really don't speak up untill I find a cause to or a resolution sets a burr under my... saddle.

Due to a mis-understanding with the Mods, the Nation of Ichi Ni was banned from the UN. Sister Nation JuuNi has offered Delegate Tenou their speaking posistion. So while Ichi Ni cannot speak for themselves, JuuNi will be their Mouthpiece and will also share Delegates until such time when JuuNi and Ichi Ni separate for political reasons.

Name: Justin Michael Timme
Age: 28
Position: Grand Executor of the Empire of Kerubia (appointed)
Dislikes: Environmental Sciences, Anti-Gun Policies, Country Music, Dancing, All Music except Jazz, People who make Generalizations without Backup Facts, Hippies, Communism, Censorship
Likes: Science Fiction, Trumpet Playing, Politics, Military Strategy, Pizza and Pork Chops, Free Markets, Jazz Music, Creative Writing
Background:

Justin Michael Timme was born in Augustrad, capital city of Kerubia. His father, Franklin Timme, deceased, was a city judge, and his mother, Sombre, a homemaker.

Throughout his childhood, Timme was a shy and introverted child with few close friends. He enjoyed writing, but did not grow fond of any music he listened to until hearing a popular jazz band play in the city streets. As he entered his teenage years, he developed a mental disease in which he'd get sick before participating in any sort of social event. For three years, he suffered, and lost a dangerous amount of weight, until he finally outgrew it. Everyone who knew him at that time agrees that his personality changed dramatically upon recovery--he became more loyal and honest, but became to adore positions of power.

At the age of 16 every Kerubian citizen must serve in the military for two years, and during his service he was awarded a purple heart and a medal of honor for his courageous defense of an outpost under siege by Kerub natives. He is credited for saving the lives of his superiors. Upon ending his two-year term of service, Timme followed his father's footsteps and became a judge for six years, presiding over every type of case possible.

He grew bored of interpreting the law, and desired a more powerful position within his government. He applied for State General Assembly legislature (the state-legislative body of Kerubia) and won the election. For two years he served happily, and was recommended by Grand Executor of Kerubia Edward Duke to take over his position, who was retiring from office. Timme's war record and Duke's popularity ensured the landslide victory for Timme, and has served as the Grand Executor of Kerubia ever since. The Grand Executor of Kerubia is essentially the messenger, diplomat, negotiator, ect. to foreign powers, and has historically had a great influence of General Assembly decisions.

Name: Erzsebet Sorvik

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Marital status: single

Position: Rear-Admiral, Head of diplomacy.

Region: First Reich of Der Fuhrer

Political party: Socialist

Likes: Vodka, good wine, the Navy, dense forests, a strong UN, art of all sorts, paganism, feeding, fire, chess

Dislikes: unrestricted capitalism, religious fundamentalism, bad wine, Altar Rang, discrimination, enviromental degradation, censorship, fascism. rich people who try to get out of paying taxes.

Backround: Erzsebet Sorvik was born and Raised in the University town of Drun, joining the navy at age 17. During her early years in the navy, she and three of her peers were notorious pranksters, often enraging their superiors, but always managing to get out of trouble (largely due to Erzsebet.) Gradually, she worked her way through the ranks, from working in a gun turret of the battle cruiser Varghona to commanding the entire battle cruiser squadron. After the entry into the regional war, she was appointed to be the chief diplomat. While generally kind and gentle, in both battle and debate she is vicious, but somewhat idealistic.

Notes: She is a Callisdrunian vampire, and must consume a few ounces of blood every so often, practice referred to as "feeding." Due to the regional war, she will usually not be present at the UN, instead relying on a lower diplomat. Like most Callisdrunians, she follows the old pagan religion.

Will likely support: Enviromental treaties, civil rights resolutions, social resolutions.

Not Likely to support: pro-business resolutions, anti-enviromental resolutions, pro-gun lobby resolutions.

However, when Rhys finally dictated the disputed territories, rebel forces began attacking military bases, during which James lost an eye and had his leg permanently damaged after fighting a rebel who was attempting to murder his best friend. He was forced to retire from the NDS, but Chief Minister Rhys was impressed with his fighting skills, so he gave him a peasant's job handling his paperwork. "You've got an eye patch and a cane, but you can still shove this crap into some file cabinets."

Over time Pope worked his way up the totem pole, until the age of 34, when the Chief Minister murdered his own Secondary Minister for beating him at a game of miniature golf. Rhys handed the Secondary Minister job to Pope, who he had grown to become friends with over time. Pope acquired the job of being Chief Manager of the Global Relations Division due to his multi-lingual capablities having spent time overseas. He is fluent in Japanese, Russian, Welsh, and Latin.

Name- D. W. Parsnip
Age- 30
Position- Prime Minister, The Dominion of NewfoundCana
Dislikes- Smoking, Drinking, Stupid Drivers, Soap Operas and a whole bunch of other things.
Likes- Science Fiction, Politics, Pepsi and a whole bunch of other things.
Will Support- Any well written resolution that makes sense, with special interest in civil and political freedoms.
Won’t Support- Any resolution that is not well written and does not make sense, especially proposals or resolutions that are blatantly national items.
Background- Prime Minister Parsnip was elected 4 years ago on a platform of government reform and transparency after years of scandals and inappropriate dealings by the previous government. The Prime Minister’s government is left of center, big on social policies, while still understanding the need for a solid defence force. After 4 years, the Prime Minister is still rated as the most popular Prime Minister in NewfoundCana’s history and polls indicate going into the next election another landslide victory for his government.

Name- Minister Mar Darenka
Age- 50
Position- Darynese UN Ambassador, Emeritus Head of State of Daryn
Likes- Modern ideas, encouragement of learning and technology, free trade, parenting, history, especially Asian history, creativity and innovation
Dislikes- Orginizaed religion, traditionalists
Background- Mar Darenka seemed to be an unexceptional woman. She followed a normal progression from local to state government. She married in her late 20's, to an engineering student 6 years her junior.
When a recession hit Daryn 14 years ago, Mar's state was the softest hit, due to her economic policies and encouragement of new ideas. She quickly capitalized on this, mounting a sucessful campaign for Head of State.
One year ago, Mar announced she would be abdicating after 12 years of service as Head of State, to spend more time with her children As a tribute to her years of service to Daryn, the current Head of State offered her this position and the honorary title, Minister.
Status: Married, two children
Family: Treyao Lupera (husband, age 44); Rikayo Darenka (son, age 21); Aris Darenka (daughter, age 13)

The People's Democratic Republic of Heian-Edo

Real Name: Tim Brent
Age: 39
Location: New Edo,Capital of Heian-Edo
Role: UN Rep for BeatleLinkers Region, Head of Civil Service and Minister of Information,Heian-Edo.

My Views
All humans have the same basic rights, including the right to do as they so wish with their lives, therefore laws restricting drugs,abortion,and sexual orientation are not to be permitted.

While there is private business, they are not allowed to exploit workers, and all workers in Heian-Edo are unionized.

We support a very strong Seperation of Church and State,as we feel too much influence from the Church is disastrous to Civil Rights and a step towards totalitarianism.

We cherish the environment and will fight for its preservation, including very strong laws regulation what business can do with its waste, and mandatory recycling.

Guns should be forbidden,as there is no need for non-police to have them.

Name: M.J. Donovan Position: Chief Executive Officer (Emeritus), Frisbeeterian Corporate States
Function: UN Delegate; Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
Age: Probably late 50's, early 60's
Appearance: Dapper, always in elegantly tailored suits. Graying temples, slightly receding hairline. 1.8m tall, 190 kg.
Known habits: Donovan is an avid supporter of well-crafted proposals of any sort, and an equally avid detractor of those proposals he deems unworthy of the UN's consideration. He is as fond of passing out earnest praise for the former as he is of ridiculing the latter. He has an excellent vocabulary, and always prefers to use the correct three words rather than the twenty that merely come close. Some call him bombastic, others arrogant and insulting, and that's just his friends.
Known vices: Donovan is occasionally seen slumming in the seedier parts of the UN complex, sometimes deigning to speak with such lowlifes as Moderators and technical support specialists. He has been seen once or twice in the UN Stranger's Bar, but his known intolerance for n00bs and barflies make him an unlikely denizen of such places.
Accomplishments: CEO Donovan was the driving force behind the successful Rights and Duties of UN States (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=306349) Resolution, which is considered the definitive source on the issue of national sovereignty in the UN.
The Conglomerated Oligarchy of Frisbeeteria

As the personas of CEO Donovan and the Frisbeeterian Corporate States are all but interchangeable, a short history.

Frisbeeteria in the UN: Frisbeeteria champions the causes of Corporate States, conglomerates, and Oligarchies of various sorts. Frisbeeteria also champions the libertarian ideal, for studies have found that the Frisbeeterian Citizen-Employee is far more productive when the illusions of personal freedom are dangled like a carrot before them. The COoF also stands behind environmental and social programs that have the long-term potential to add to its bottom line. Frisbeeteria avidly resists passage of issues reducing national sovereignty, as well as all issues that are not international in nature.

Frisbeeteria in NationStates: The COoF is managed by a tightly knit Directorate of the thirty-two principal corporate entities that make up the Oligarchy. Industries represented include Aerospace and Defense, Banking, Chemicals, Computer Hardware, Computer Software, Consumer Durables, Consumer Non-Durables, Electronics, Energy, Financial Services, Food and Beverage, Health Services, Insurance, Leisure, Manufacturing, Materials and Construction, Media, Metals and Mining, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, Telecommunications, Transportation, Utilities, and Wholesale. There are presumed to be other entities are not as widely known outside of the Oligarchy, but their activities are not widely published.

Frisbeeteria and War: The Oligarchy contends that war is inherently resource-inefficient, and the Directorate do much to avoid having to resort to the exigency. Frisbeeteria's Merchant Marine is much more formidable than might be guessed from their appearance, and corporate security is second to none in NationStates. While homeland defense may not appear to be a high priority, any attackers would find their gains to be minimal and their losses ... expensive. Frisbeeterian hover vehicle designs are beginning to attract the attention of many nations interested in high mobility and extreme flexibility. As with all product lines, Frisbeeterian hovercraft are widely used by both civilian and military purchasers.

Protectorate of Legalese
Name: Scot J. Hafhron
Postion: International Legal Adviser, UN Ambassador
Age: 46
Background: Scot has been a rising star in the short history of Legalese. an International Law and Relations expert, Hafhron received his B.A. in International Relations at Winchester and Meredith University in 1980. He would continue with a JD from the Adamson School of Law at W&M in 1983, as well as a Masters in International Relations in 1985. After completing his extensive schooling, Hafhron dabbled in both the legal and international consulting fields, until being called back to Legalese in August 2004, where he was selected by Justice William E. Nocpol (Justice of International Matters) to be his International Legal Adviser and UN Ambassador. With short debate, the Supreme Court of Legalese confirmed the nomination, followed by approval from the Legalese Senate in Sept. 2004. Hafhron, a protoge of Nocpol, is anticipated to ascend to the Justice position following Nocpol's retirement.

Resolution approval: As Delegate of the Union of Random Nations, Scot is willing to approve well-written proposals which deal primarily with international matters, and fit within the policies established by the Legalese Senate and Supreme Court.

I'm not real big into the roleplaying aspect, so I don't really have a cool background story at this point. For the sake of classification though, I'll most likely support a well thought out proposal in any category, and most non-retarded, properly placed proposals in the following categories: Environmental, Human Rights, Social Justice, Free Trade, and the Furtherment of Democracy. I don't mind being contacted, but bear in mind that I'm not a delegate at this time and I am attending university, so I may not be able to get approvals for you and my response time isn't always the greatest.

Title UN Ambassador
Country The Republic of Adam Island
Hometown Adam County, Adam County, Adam Island
Age 38

Thompson was appointed UN Ambassador for Adam Island by then Interim Ruler Adam C. Roberts He was a rather unknown figure at the time, having spent his entire career in bureaucracy. Outside observers speculated that his appointment was due to the fact that he is regarded as entirely unobjectionable and indistinguishable from the hundreds of thousands of other paper-pushers on the island.

However, he is known to pick apart and discover possible problems with drafts and proposed resolutions, and is fiercly loyal to his country's interests. He was re-appointed when President Ben Rodriquez was elected, and continues to serve.

However: Does occasionally support bureaucratic nonsense on the grounds of “attempting to choke the UN to death on its own swill”.

Background: After being appointed as UN Ambassador – mostly due to being the most argumentative of Sultan Sinjin Lefkowitz al-Din’s cousins – Suleman moved to full time residence in the Vastivan embassy to the UN. Since then, his hobbies include running up the Vastivan tab at several local clubs, shopping for “things to send home”, and making large bonfires in the rear areas of the embassy for “nonsensical legislation”.
His Fondest Wish: To become a Delegate, at which time he will get even more hate mail then usual, which he will then propose as an alternative fuel source.

He quietly rose through the ranks of the not-so-powerful Nargopian military, gathering followers along the way. After he petitioned the government to do something about the lack of any civil rights in the nation, he was imprisoned and sentenced to death. Using his military contacts, however, he had a force of secret followers spring him from prison. During the ensuing revolution, many lives were lost and many Nargopian lands were stained with blood forever. Finally, after seven years of fighting, Romeo Sicklecow was able to defeat the evil regime. He was hailed as a true leader of the people, and now sits as the Grand Patriarch of the United Socialist States of Nargopia. He added the middle names Dimitri and Vladimir in honor of two of his friends and fellow uprisers who were tortured and killed in the revolution for not disclosing his identity.

[OOC footnote] I think it's important to have a grasp on what characters look and "act" like. Since I am a lazy person and am not inclined to writing complex physical and psychological profiles of these characters I will resort to comparing them to movie actors. :)

Hæila Wythåefþ: Think of him as being very similar to Sean Connery in The Hunt For Red October.
Aüþgæþ Spøtyiú: The evil CSS attache is most like Jason Isaacs as Col. William Tavington in The Patriot. (but without the long hair)
Quynn Olver: Reminds me of Gene Hackman as Capt. Frank Ramsey in Crimson Tide, or as, well, any of Hackmans characters. Royal Tenenbaum, President Allen Richmond from Absolute Power, etc.
