Nay.
It sounds too much like Swaziland and I don't want the Pacific to turn into a backwards region...



I offer up this idea:
Regional renaming amendment

1) The Pacific Region shall be henceforth known as Pacifica.
2) All references to the Pacific Region shall be changed to Pacifica in the current constitution.

WELL my awesome amendment hasn't passed. Oh well! Now for more important matters...

Resolution concerning Turkey
1) On July 23rd, 2008, Turkish terrorists attacked Atlasia.
2) In response, the people of the Pacific Region call for the eradication of the nation of Turkey and demand that the federal government declare war immediately.
3) The remains of the nation of Turkey shall be split among the regions of Atlasia, with the Pacific Region getting at least (but not limited to) the European portion and the Asians parts of Istanbul, which shall have its name restored to Constantinople.

X Governor Bgwah


Okay, now for some more serious legislation:

Constitutional Amendment
1) Section 2:4 of Article I shall be amended to read "The Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall take office at noon Pacific Standard Time on the first Friday in the month after their election."
2) This amendment shall go into effect immediately upon passing.

X Governor Bgwah

The amendment basically changes our taking office time from the first Friday after the election (which occurs during the same month of the election) to the first Friday in the next month. This is how the federal government works. My logic is if someone who is a federal official like a Senator (who decided not to seek re-election in the federal election going on at the same time as the regional election) is elected Governor or Lt. Governor, their term would begin approximately one week before their term as Senator ended. Just seems like a minor bug that should be fixed, since you can't technically hold two offices at once.

I'll open voting on this legislation tomorrow if nobody has anything to say...

Change the name of Istanbul to Byzantium and I'll agree to both.

Hmm, well when we admit that part of Turkey as the Pacific's 11th state, perhaps it can be named Byzantium (though Wikipedia says it was originally Byzantion!), but I think the city should be named Constantinople. Smiley

Nay, Aye.  War is hell. And I don't want even a sliver of Turkey. Too high maintenance. When the Mexicans speak English as well as I do, and vote the way I do, maybe, but not now. Give it to somebody else. How about Iraq so that the Kurds can reunite?

We give the Bosposrus to Iraq?

And shouldn't that be nay and aye?

But this is a legislature, so there is no such rule, thankfully.

Bgwah would you like to draw up a map of the revised Turkey so I can introduce the measure to the senate and actually take some action?
By the way Byzantion is an awesome name, though I prefer Constantinople.


Oh and what happened to my proposal to rename the Pacific as Pacifica?

Basically, we get all the coastal provinces, and the rest are split into four bands, one region getting each.

That is going to over well with the Senate. Pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered. Smiley

I get Carmel, and you get Vallejo.

Aye on both

It never got the required number of signatures. The Governor's signature alone is enough--but I didn't feel like editing all those Wiki pages was worth an extra a, so... Sad

As for the map, perhaps I will if this passes. In the mean time, you can get the federal government to recognize the Rocky Dennis Mountains! Grin

     I come to you all with a proposal. If this is not the proper channel for introducing legislation, please let me know. However, I have two bills that I wish to put to a vote.

     The Recognition of Columbia Act

1. A movement favoring secession is gathering steam in the "Dirty South" region.

2. Fearing secession, Andy Jackson has seceded from the "Dirty South," forming the Provisional Republic of Columbia in Texas.

3. Be it resolved that the Pacific Region hereby recognizes the independence of the Provisional Republic of Columbia in Texas.

     Columbian Defense Initiative

1. This act shall go into effect if & only if The Recognition of Columbia Act is passed & signed into law.

2. The Pacific Region shall pledge whatever armed forces it deems necessary to maintain the continued independence of the Provisional Republic of Columbia in Texas from the "Dirty South" region.

I'd like to propose two amendments to the former bill:

1. Replace all occurences of "Dirty South" with Southeast.
2. Change Clause 3 to "Be it resolved that the Pacific Region hereby reaffims its committment to a united Atlasia."

I'd also like to propose two amendemts to the latter bill:

1. Strike Clause 1.
2. Replace Clause 2 with "The Pacific Region shall pledge whatever armed forces it deems necessary to maintain the continued allegiance of the Southeast Region to the Atlasian government."

     I'll accept those changes. So it now reads:

     The Atlasian Unity Act

1. A movement favoring secession is gathering steam in the Southeast region.

2. Fearing secession, Andy Jackson has seceded from the Southeast, forming the Provisional Republic of Columbia in Texas.

3. Be it resolved that the Pacific Region hereby reaffims its committment to a united Atlasia.

     Atlasian Defense Initiative

1. The Pacific Region shall pledge whatever armed forces it deems necessary to maintain the continued allegiance of the Southeast Region to the Atlasian government.

     If anyone wants to vote on the first versions of both bills, I'm open to it.

     On further thought, I would like a vote on the original versions of both bills, as well as Xahar's amendments to both bills.
