(ATTN: ALL) Crisis in The Region of Rineu

I come before the nations of NS today, URGING for help in resolving the current situation facing The Region of Rineu. The problem is that the region is dying, and not only that - but the very ideals and structures the region was established on long before my time are being questioned, and the region is currently divided and is moving into pure anarchy. I am urging my fellow nations to maintain the fundamentals of democracy but I fear this may not happen.

But first a bit of background into how this occurred.

Rineu was a region that was very stable and active at around 80+ nations. The region is very well established with a forum, offsite homepage, Email service and an instant messaging site. 2 months ago our region had an election to elect a new cabinet and PM - as we do every 2 months. The PM elect was a nation called Sinisland. Other cabinet members include Fahadia, Minilla Island, Schnitzelfest and Duterlio (I may have forgotten some).

These members were all a part of the most active in the region - except there were huge divisions between these nations. Schnitzelfest did not approve of the newly appointed PM feeling they were not correct for the position and was very critical of all actions undertaken by the PM. It was discovered Fahadia was a founder of another region and was recruiting for that region, Minilla Island disapproved of this and this turned into a very heated conflict between nations that ended up in the Courts. During the proceedings of the trial Minilla Island felt the trials were unfair and left the region to form a new region. With Minilla Island went 1 of 3 judges of the Judicial System and a senior Assembly Member.

Later on in the term PM Sinisland was ejected from the UN due to having a puppet also signed up in the United Nations. His defense was that he needed as much UN members to retain stability in the region and to ensure voting took place. Schnitzelfest jumped on this and exposed this as a major flaw that reflected the region as a whole. A conflict arose between Schnitzelfest and Sinisland with Sinisland eventually saying that Schnitzelfest was jealous of not gaining the position of PM and threatened expulsion from the cabinet for lack of vision and activity. Schnitzelfest then turned around a listed everything currently undertaken and planned for the region, and this shut Sinisland up. Both of them apologized and continued business.

Another incident involving Fahadia is just after Minilla Island left Sinisland removed his position in the Executive for betrayal of the Region. Fahadia disputed this claim and more conflict was seen between nations. Another issue in the region is that Sinisland has ensured that legislation remains in place to ensure political parties cannot be formed; this has angered many - especially Fahadia and Schnitzelfest.

While this is occurring the nation count of Rineu was steadily decreasing, mainly due to member nations ceasing to exist rather than nations leaving. PM Sinisland encouraged recruiting to take place - but did not do any himself and did not check up on recruiting, keeping the normal level of recruiting to be done by the recruitment committee. This was at the end of the current term and what Sinisland did do is suspend all elections until a further date. Everyone disagreed to this and decided that 2 weeks will be sufficient. However due to PM inactivity these elections are yet to take place. Campaigning hasn’t even started yet!

Just recently Duterlio, who was the democratically elected UN Delegate to the region and also a senior member of the Welcoming Committee and the Recruitment Committee ceased to exist. This saw the position of UN Delegate handed over to Fahadia by default. With this new power Fahadia, with support of Landstab Memorial have called for a Revolution. Dismissing all government members with no apparent plan for the future as of yet. I have expressed that our current structure is not working. Our PM Sinisland is too inactive to serve the region - resulting in the suspension of election so no other PM can be elected. But before they eject our PM from our region I have urged Democratic processes to take place first. I have urged all members during this time to remain hopeful, optimistic and democratic - and not to result in an anarchy style government. This will only enhance the problem of the region dying. I have also contacted the former senior members of Rineu that left not too long ago to rejoin the region and to help in the rebirth of the region via democratic process.

I also BEG all nations of NS who might be able to help Rineu out during this time. We must ensure that our Region can be restructured while not to break out in conflict and anarchy - which it’s most likely looking to occur.

Please do all you can do - as a fellow NS Nation - To ensure our region remains a powerful democratic region and does not slip into anarchy

The Imperial Grand Duchy of Schnitzelfest, along with the other member nations in the democratic movement in th Region of Rineu would like to thankyou for your support during this time. As of yet there has been no word from the Rineun Prime Minister Sinisland or from either the Grand Head of State Rain of God or the Founder the Federation of Rineu. This has increased the cause to overthrow the government and to establish a new forum if power is not handed over to the democratic movement lead by Fahadia and Landstab Memorial. Fahadia has issued a 1 day time limit to the PM and GHoS to reply to the demands of the democratic movement before they will be ousted and will no longer be acknowledged as the leaders of the region. I feel what needs to be done quickly is for neutral nations to move into the region and sign up to the forums to ensure that once the current leaders of Rineu have been overthrown that democracy is maintained and that Fahadia does not automatically step into the position of PM. We have not received any word from former members in The Rock and i fear if they dont reply soon they will not be able to help us. Once again thankyou for your support and we ask that you help spread news of our crisis and encourage them to help us during this time

To: The Republic of Colstream,

Thankyou for such quick response to our plea, and for you caring nature towards an unknown region. This will definately increase dimplomatic relations between our two nations, so maybe in the future we can repay the favour

************************************************

ATTN ALL NATIONS:
The crisis in Rineu is still not over and we would still be extremely grateful for any diplomatic support you would be able to spare during this time. The best thing you could do during this time is to create a puppet nation in the region of Rineu and voice your concerns for democracy AND/OR Register on the off site forum and encourage members to maintain democracy and to discuss this matter and not jsut ignore it. We still have received no word from our regional leaders and the deadline has been passed. Our Regional Judge Schneeflocke has declared that any unlawful behaviour, including Treason will be punished by the law. She also declared that out Grand Head of State will be brought on trial before the High Court for his suspension of the electons to elect a new PM.

Another way we might be able to get the Rineu GHoS and PM to listen to our plea is via a petition. Please formally acknowledge the push for democracy in Rineu and i will add your name to the petition, which i will show to the Rineu government.

The following nations formally acknowledge the push for democracy movement in the region of Rineu:
- Federation of Opatia
- Free Republic of Lamoni
- Republic of Colstream
- United Republic of Shiloba

Military units are not required just as yet, we need International Peace Keepers. Your donation will do well to help fund our own peace keepers already trying to prevent an escalation of violence.

OOC: What I have described above in my first post is no joke - and it aint role playing. Seriously the nations in my region are talking about overthrowning the regional government. When we ask for support, we actually mean it. This has kinda turned into a RL/RP now :p. I will add your name to the petition

At this point in time no further peace keepers will be needed. Not until the Prime Minister and the Grand Head of State formally announce their position on the matter of Rebellion, the step down of, and re-structuring of power in the region will more peace keepers be needed. We will call on you if more help is needed, thankyou.

On behalf of The Democratic Movement in Rineu and The Imperial Grand Duchy of Schnitzelfest, Thankyou for your support during this time.

So far the Vote of No Confidence Motion in the current government of Rineu presented by Fahadia has been seconded by Laststandb Mermorial and thirded by The Imperial Grand Duchy of Schnitzelfest. Although there has been voiced a small opposition to this movement by the Grand Head of State Rain of God, it appears he will abide by the movements request. The Prime Minister Sinisland also opposes this movement stating that we as a region should not go through this process and elect new leaders as we need to focus on key tasks important to Rineu's Rebirth and Continued Growth Strategy. Although, the democratic movement feel that the implementation of this long overdue election will help the Region more than not having an election, as the current leaders are inadequate to deal with the situation. With this said I also believe the PM will accept the VoNC motion. The GHoS and High Court Judge Schneeflocke are said to be resolving this issue and are having private discussions about how to restructure the government. This is all well and said but these discussions should be made available for participation by all nations of Rineu to ensure that everyone is satisfied with the transition.
