The Good Evil Territories of Lythusia | Hello! Welcome to Thaecia!! Golden York, Orang Moku, and Gudetamia | |
The United Austronesian Kingdom of Orang Moku | ||
The Empire of Virulian | Welcome to Thaecia Orang Moku and Lythusia | |
via The East Pacific | The Geordie o'er the hills of The Southern Dependencies | A speech by the General-Secretary of the Communist Party of Patagonia and the Southern Dependencies titled “On the dangers of the World Assembly and the cult of Max Barry.” ¡Camaradas! En el informe del Comité Central del Partido en el 90 Congreso del Partido y en varios discursos de los delegados al Congreso, se ha dicho bastante sobre el culto a la Asamblea Mundial y sobre sus nefastas consecuencias. Desde la formación de la Asamblea Mundial, el Comité Central ha dudado en confiar en ella en cualquier asunto que se le haya planteado y se ha resistido activamente a seguir cualquier resolución que haya intentado imponernos. En nombre de la preservación de la obra de Marx y del difunto camarada Esteban, hemos actuado en los asuntos que hemos considerado necesarios para preservar nuestra cultura y modo de vida. La Asamblea Mundial también ha generado un culto a la personalidad en torno a Max Barry, que se esfuerza por modelarlo con características sobrenaturales, semejantes a las de un Dios. Fueron tales ideales los que nos llevaron a condenar a Max Barry en 2008 en el 74º Congreso del Partido. Tales creencias y actividades, específicamente en torno a aquellas creencias y actividades que amenazan los ideales del marxismo y aclaman a Max Barry como un Dios, se han cultivado entre las naciones durante muchos años. El objetivo del presente informe no es una evaluación exhaustiva de la Asamblea Mundial ni del propio Max Barry. Tales materiales ya han sido escritos desde el extranjero. El presente informe se refiere a la cuestión de que la Asamblea Mundial está profundamente corrompida y tiene como objetivos extender esa corrupción y acabar con el comunismo a escala mundial. En las últimas semanas, la corrupción de la Asamblea Mundial se ha puesto de manifiesto ante el mundo cuando el representante de Wallenberg fue destituido de su cargo sin previo aviso ni razonamiento público. Con ello, la Asamblea Mundial ha demostrado ser una fuerza de nepotismo y capitalismo, convirtiéndose así en una amenaza para los inquilinos por los que luchamos hace casi un siglo. Pero estas no han sido las únicas acciones corruptas de la Asamblea Mundial, una y otra vez se ha mostrado favoritismo hacia ciertas propuestas, a los miembros más nuevos se les niegan las mismas o iguales oportunidades que a los miembros más veteranos. Esto ocurre mientras la Asamblea Mundial se autoproclama como un lugar donde todos pueden tener voz. Pero, ¿cómo pueden todos tener voz cuando a algunos se les permite ser escuchados más que a otros? Es hipocresía. En la actualidad, nos preocupa una cuestión que tiene una inmensa importancia para el Partido y la nación ahora y para el futuro: cómo ha ido creciendo gradualmente el culto a la persona de Max Barry, el culto que se convirtió en cierta etapa específica en la fuente de toda una serie de perversiones sumamente serias y graves de los principios que deseamos defender, de los principios antidemocráticos, de la legalidad revolucionaria. El Partido y la Nación tienen ante sí dos opciones en este asunto, cada una tan peligrosa y audaz como la anterior: En primer lugar, siguiendo las enseñanzas de Marx y Engels, destruir todo rastro de Max Barry y el culto a su persona en este país. Esta acción supondría un desafío directo a lo que predica la Asamblea Mundial y probablemente nos condenaría. Al destruir el culto a Max Barry me refiero, por supuesto, a la propaganda que ha difundido a través de la Asamblea Mundial. Para los miembros del Partido que quizá no estén familiarizados con Mister Barry, se le ha descrito como un Libertario. Sin embargo, son mentiras destinadas a consolarnos, en realidad es un peón de las máquinas capitalistas. Por lo tanto, eliminando su culto de nuestro país y proscribiendo su propaganda, podemos garantizar que la juventud se mantenga a salvo de los peligros que desechamos tras el gobierno de Rodolfo Vicente y su propio culto a la personalidad. En segundo lugar, nos doblegamos ante las exigencias de la Asamblea Mundial y seguimos siendo complacientes. Este acto probablemente garantizaría nuestra seguridad, sin embargo sacrificaría todo lo que hemos luchado por ganar y conseguir. El Partido Comunista de la Patagonia y las Dependencias del Sur no se doblegará ante ningún hombre ni rey. Seremos desafiantes contra la Asamblea Mundial, esa es la voluntad del Comité Central. Nuestras acciones serán peligrosas, pero todo en nombre de una causa honorable. Las órdenes enviadas a nuestro embajador en la Asamblea Mundial son las siguientes: "El Comité Central y el Partido en general se han reunido y votado sobre los asuntos relativos al culto a la personalidad en torno a Max Barry y la corrupción dentro de la asamblea mundial. Se ha decidido que desafiaremos a los esclavistas de la Asamblea Mundial y que, con efecto inmediato, no votaréis ningún asunto hasta que se os diga lo contrario. Todo lo que se apruebe mientras estemos en protesta será desafiado". ¡Camaradas! El 90º Congreso del Partido Comunista de la Patagonia y Dependencias del Sur ha manifestado con una nueva fuerza la inquebrantable unidad de nuestro Partido, su cohesión en torno al Comité Central y su decidida voluntad de cumplir la gran tarea de construir el comunismo. Y la realidad de que presentamos en todas sus repercusiones los problemas primordiales de la solución del culto al individuo ajeno al marxismo, así como el predicamento de la liquidación de sus onerosas ramificaciones, es testimonio de la gran fuerza moral y política de nuestro Partido. Estamos absolutamente seguros de que nuestro Partido, armado con las resoluciones históricas del 90 Congreso, conducirá al pueblo soviético por el camino Marxist a nuevos éxitos, a nuevas victorias. ¡Viva la bandera victoriosa de nuestro Partido! Comrades! In the Party Central Committee's report at the 90th Party Congress and in a number of speeches by delegates to the Congress, quite a lot has been said about the cult of the world assembly and about its harmful consequences. Since the formation of the World Assembly, the Central Committee has been hesitant to trust it on any affair brought before it and has actively resisted following any resolution it has attempted to force upon us. In the name of preserving the work of Marx and late Comrade Esteban, we have acted in such matters which we deemed to be necessary to preserve our culture and way of life. The World Assembly has also brought about a cult of personality around Max Barry, which strives to model him with supernatural characteristics, akin to that of a God. It was such ideals which caused us to condemn Max Barry in 2008 at the 74th Party Congress. Such beliefs and activities, specifically around those beliefs and activities which threaten the ideals of Marxism and hail Max Barry as a God, have been cultivated among nations for many years. The objective of the present report is not a thorough evaluation of the World Assembly or of Max Barry himself. Such materials have already been written from abroad. The present report concerns the issue that the World Assembly is deeply corrupt and holds the objectives of spreading that corruption and ending Communism on a global scale. In recent weeks, the corruption of the World Assembly was put on full display before the world as the representative from Wallenberg was removed from office without warning or public reasoning. By doing this, the World Assembly has shown itself to be a force of nepotism and Capitalism, thereby making it a threat to the tenants which we fought for nearly a century ago. Yet these have not been the only actions by the World Assembly which are corrupt, time and again favouritism toward certain proposals has been shown, newer members are refused the same or equal opportunity as more senior members. This occurs whilst the World Assembly hails itself as a place where all may have a voice. But how can all have a voice when some are allowed to be heard more than others? It is hypocrisy. At present, we are concerned with a question which has immense importance for the Party and nation now and for the future – with how the cult of the person of Max Barry has been gradually growing, the cult which became at a certain specific stage the source of a whole series of exceedingly serious and grave perversions of principles we wish to uphold, of undemocratic principles, of revolutionary legality. The Party and Nation have two choices before it on this matter, each equally as dangerous yet bold as the last: Firstly, in following the teachings of Marx and Engels, we destroy all traces of Max Barry and the cult of his person within this Country. This action would stand in direct defiance of what the World Assembly preaches and is likely to have us condemned. In destroying the cult of Max Barry, I refer to, of course, the propaganda he has spread through the World Assembly. For members of Party perhaps unfamiliar with Mister Barry, he has been described as a Libertarian. However, these are lies meant to comfort us, in reality he is a pawn of capitalistic machines. Therefore, by removing his cult from our country and outlawing his propaganda, we can ensure that the youth is kept safe from the dangers which we cast asunder in the aftermath of the rule of Rodolfo Vicente and his own cult of personality. Secondly, we kowtow to the demands of the World Assembly and remain complacent. This act would likely ensure our security, however it would sacrifice all that we have fought to gain and achieve. The Communist Party of Patagonia and the Southern Dependencies shall not bow to no man or king. We shall be defiant against the World Assembly, that is the will of the Central Committee. Our actions shall be dangerous, yet all in the name of an honourable cause. The orders being dispatched to our Ambassador to the World Assembly is thus: ”The Central Committee and wider Party have convened and voted on the matters pertaining to the cult of personality around Max Barry and the corruption within the world assembly. It was decided that we shall stand in defiance of the World Assembly's slave owners, effective immediately you are not to vote on any matter until otherwise told. Anything passed whilst we are in protest shall be defied.” Comrades! The 90th Congress of the Communist Party of Patagonia and the Southern Dependencies has manifested with a new strength the unshakable unity of our Party, its cohesiveness around the Central Committee, and its resolute will to accomplish the great task of building communism. And the reality that we present in all their repercussions the primary problems of resolving the cult of the individual which is alien to Marxism, as well as the predicament of liquidating its onerous ramifications, is testimony of the great moral and political strength of our Party. We are absolutely certain that our Party, armed with the historical resolutions of the 90th Congress, will lead the Soviet people along the Marxist path to new successes, to new victories. Long live the victorious banner of our Party! |
The Good Evil Territories of Lythusia | Hello everyone. I would like to congratulate all my colleagues who were elected to Member of the Convention, and even those who were not elected, it was a great campaign! I also congratulate all the citizens who voted, who cared about this first step towards Thaecia's future. Congratulations to our Convention Leader, Brototh! May Thaecia walk the path to the future. Thank you, citizens! Taralania, Golden York, Brototh, The Ambis, and 2 othersOrang Moku, and Sangrinaria | |
The Kingdom of Brototh | Hello Residents! The Constitutional Convention is officially starting now. The first business that I will be putting up is the restoration of the old Article I and Article II (which is about the Constitution's supremacy and Thaecian citizens rights). These are definitely very uncontroversial so I am going to put these up first, get them out of the way and get everyone into the feel of the Convention. Definitely use this as a chance to write up anything you've got. Also, if you want to add more rights later but it hinges on something else you've got planned- no worries, if that passes, we can come back and amend anything later as we wish. This is the first Order of business: FIFTH CONSTITUTION OF THAECIA Article I - Supremacy and Amendments
Article II - Rights

This is an incredibly important role with major responsibility, as the executive regional officer role means the WAD can dismiss/appoint other regional officers, close the regions borders and updated the World Factbook Entry (WFE).

The Kingdom of Brototh | Record of debate regarding the first Order of business (via Discord): Democratized Peoples Section III - Any proposed amendment which impedes the right of the people to freely and openly choose their government or substantially undermines core judicial rights shall not be submitted to the people for ratification nor shall, if ratified by the people, it assume any force or effect. Lythusia Brototh Secondly, I believe that the proposal is simply too up to debate. There is not a better way to word it in my opinion. The issue comes in that there could be a multitude of interpretations on what core judicial rights are, or if the rights are being "substantially" undermined, or the same for the right to freely and openly choose government; it is not clear what this means. Additionally, it could lead to a potential future issue where the amendment is passed uncontroversially but months later is suddenly rescinded by a new Court that disagrees with it. In my opinion, this empowers the Court too much and gives them too much power to legislate from the bench based on their personal opinions. For these reasons, at vote I cannot support the amendment. However, I would be more inclined to the passage of a clause that entrenches only the contents of Article II; this is more sensible in my opinion and makes less future issues. Lythusia Section III - Any proposed amendment which impedes the right of the people to freely and openly choose their government or substantially undermines core judicial rights expressed in the Article II of this Constitution shall not be submitted to the people for ratification nor shall, if ratified by the people, assume any force or effect. This change would simply serve to protect constitutional guarantees from possible amendments that tend to abolish or limit these rights in an extreme way, amendments that serve to improve these rights would be permitted It must be the duty of the Judiciary to make the Constitution understood; the Legislature legislates, the Executive implements, and the Judiciary judges and interprets. It is not the duty of the Constitution to interpret itself, it is simply to ensure that it can be interpreted, and this is explicit. In any case, any form of legal specification is good, thanks for the suggestions and opinions. An experienced voice is key, thank you. Taralania Brototh Section III - Any proposed amendment to Article II of the Constitution shall require for passage a 3/4ths majority in each Chamber of Congress and the approval of the citizenry with a 2/3rds majority vote in a referendum. In my opinion, this achieves the same desired effect of protecting rights while also leaving them up to change later if needed. It’s not possible to see the future. That being said, if some sort of “tyrant” acquired the approval of 3/4ths of Congress and 2/3rds of the general population, he probably wouldn’t be much of a tyrant in the first place, since any change to the rights of the people would be done with their overwhelming agreement. | |
