It has come to my attention that the Delegate of The North Pacific, Lord Ravenclaw, has issued a statement that The North Pacific is voting against this repeal because I am its author. According to Lord Ravenclaw, this is an attempt to censure me for recent governmental developments in Osiris, after acts of military aggression against Osiris by The North Pacific and its allies failed to achieve their desired ends.
Let's be very clear what this means. The Delegate of The North Pacific has voted to continue condemning a region of more than ten thousand nations and their regional government, not because he believes The Pacific should remain condemned, but because he disapproves of the author of the repeal. Lord Ravenclaw disapproves of the author of the repeal, yours truly, because he believes he knows better who should serve as Delegate of Osiris than Osirans who are still participating in Osiris.
This is not just imperialism, but petty schoolyard imperialism. One Delegate, whose conflict of interest as a former resident of Osiris is well known, believes it is appropriate to use his nearly one thousand endorsements to act against more than ten thousand nations who have nothing to do with Osiris, in a feeble and fruitless attempt to impose censure upon the Delegate of Osiris. This is imperialistic projection of power not even for the advancement of regional interests, but for the advancement of one individual's petty vendetta. If this is the standard for Feeder and Sinker governance that the supposed paragon of Feeder "democracy," The North Pacific, sets, is it any wonder that residents of several other Feeder and Sinker regions opt for an alternative?
If I were an imperialist, like Lord Ravenclaw, I might suggest that the Security Council condemn The North Pacific for allowing their Delegate to so irresponsibly use their power as the largest region in NationStates, with more endorsements for their Delegate than any other region. I might include a clause suggesting that a superpower that allows its power to be manipulated in pursuit of such petty ends does not deserve to be a superpower. I am not an imperialist like Lord Ravenclaw, though, so I will simply express my shock and dismay that a former Osiran would stoop so low as to continue Osiran squabbles by using another region's Delegacy as a weapon, and I will urge citizens of The North Pacific to consider this breathtaking display of pettiness as their oligarchical forum election continues and Lord Ravenclaw seeks re-election.
