Instant Messaging List

Instant messaging is a quick and efficient way to get in contact with other members of CoN. Since the beginning, CoN has used Yahoo's Instant Messaging services to conduct regional summit meetings, and more. MSN is also compatible with Yahoo, so if you would rather use that, it is ok as well. AIM is NOT compatible, so please do not use that. All nations are encouraged, however, to sign up for one of these services and post their screen name here. Communication can only help our region grow in size, efficiency, effectiveness, and fellowship!

Please head over to the forums and post your screen name in the thread Fotar has created in the Internal Affairs section of the forum. Only full citizens can access this, and forum registration is required for citizenship. Once you register, your account will have to be approved before you will be able to access this thread. Approval usually takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 10 hours, depending on the availability of Fotar, who checks for new accounts often. You can access the forums from the World Factbook Entry on CoN's nationstates page, or I have a link posted just to the right of this!

Also, as a quick update...so far, the Districts have been working GREAT and all our new nations hopefully are feeling very welcomed and at home. The training sessions will be created soon, so look for those in the coming days...all nations, new and old, will be getting this training from your District Leader.

Lastly, Operation Lions Roar is coming back under the direction of Saxtron, who has also been appointed to the High Council! Congratulations, Saxtron!!!

The Establishment of Districts

Here ye, Here ye! The following is an official proclamation and will go into effect immediately!

From Hence Forth, Narnia shall be broken into at least 3 districts. Each district shall be led by a District Leader. The main responsibility of the district leader is to train new members using the training materials provided by the Lord Protectorate. District leaders will have a seat on the Lower Council. Each district will also have a number of representatives on the Commoners Council*. The number or representatives will be equal to 1 representative for every 7 nations. A whole set of 7 must be represented. For example, a district with 20 nations would only have 2 representatives.

Each district will be ruled by a district council, of which all district members are a part of. The role of this council will be to make decisions for the district, elect district representatives and leaders, and express concerns and ideas for the representatives to take to the Commoners Council. Districts are meant to be sub-communities within the greater Narnia. The type of community, culture of the community, and all aspects of community life are left up to the district councils to create. Any sort of legislation passed by district councils will not be recognized until voted on and accepted by the Commoner's Council.

Nations shall be placed in a the same district as the nation that recruited them. After accumulating 20 forum posts, a nation can 'move' to a new district. Nations that have 25 forum posts can run for district representative, and nations with at least 40 posts and district rep experience can run for district leader. Each district will have its own elections, which will be supervised by the High Council.

notes: *The Commoner's Council previously contained all citizens of CoN. This is henceforth void. The Commoner's Council now contains members of the Lower Council and District Representatives. Member responsibilities include: approving District Council legislation and acting as representatives of their District.

The following are the Districts as set up by the Lord Protectorate. Nations with over 25 forum posts may run for Representative. Each District currently is eligible for one representative, which is expected to be chosen within 5 to 7 days. Each District will have a section on the forum in which to conduct its business.

The New Bard's Corner

The beavers have been busy constructing this place, and wow! I don't know about you, but it makes me want to sing. The Lord Protectorate, however, made me promise that I get things done first...before any songs in return for having this built.

So, what exactly is this? Well, the Lord Protectorate thought this would make my job as the herald of news in Narnia easier. Instead of telegramming every nation as I have in the past, news will be posted here. This will also serve as a bulletin board for announcements of upcoming events, as well as a central location for important links and information on Narnia.

There are lots of things coming for Narnia, including a big recruitment drive to get our population and activity up. While things here in Narnia have been quiet, the Imperial Army and foreign affairs have been busy...so the region is not in as bad of shape as it may appear!
