[Brasilia Brazil]

:
Brazilian Ambassador to Yohannes, Carmen Lidia Richter Ribeiro Moura.
Democratic Republic of Brasilia Brazil.

My well wishes and personal respect to Her Royal Majesty Empress Marion Maréchal-Le Men and her family.

Thank you for the diplomatic telegram to my nation and government confirming our close economic, political, cultural and tourist diplomatic relations, and your post on our Brazilian immigration website page.

Thank you for accepting and confirming my diplomatic credentials as Brazilian Ambassador to Yohannes, my staff and I will treat Brazilians and Yohannes nationals in your nation fairly with honour and respect, any of my staff members who do not treat Yohannes nationals in your nation fairly with honour and respect will be fired on the spot, and will get a one way airline ticket back to Brasilia Brazil at their own expense $.

I hope many of the 15 000 upper class and middle class Brazilians in your nation live in the affluent residential subburb district of Tolvard of Bernhardsson, the capital city and Duchy of Blomgreen where our embassy is located in the diplomatic district, if that is not the case that is ok, we have set up an online website page for all Brazilians and Yohannes nationals to communicate with us thier concerns and interests.

According to our constitution and other recently passed constitutional reforms, article 12 C: Brazilians by birth are those born abroad of a Brazilian father or mother, so long as they are registered at a proper Brazilian governmental office, or come to reside in the Federative Republic of Brazil and opt for Brazilian nationality at any time after reaching the age of majority, of 17 years of age.

We will register all 15 000 Brazillians on our embassy office, with the permission and only with the permission of the government of Yohannes? Brazilians of majority age may vote in our presidential elections of oct 28 2018, provided the government of Yohannes conducts the election polls and send us the results to The National Elections Council Nec, we will trust the personal integrity and professionalism of the Yohannes government authorities conducting the presidential election polls, in thier own words and style.

The election polls must still be divided into Brazilian immigrants and Foreign nationals, too see if their are any differences in thier political preferences.

Should they send us these polls, the decision can only be made by the government of Yohaness, without presures or interference from our government.

I am a tough but fair and honourable Lady.

Brasilia Brazil Ambassador to Yohannes, Carmen Lidia Richter Ribeiro Moura.

Message from the Confederation — Administration and Nation-building 2019 Special Coverage




Once every six months, over 100 million people on the continent of Yohannes would turn on Parliament Channel to watch the elected President of the Electoral College deliver a message on the state of foreign policy of the Nineteen Countries from Parliament House. One year after her election to succeed the seventeenth Yohannesian Emperor, the Message from the Confederation of 4 March 2019 is the second Message to be delivered by the eighteenth Yohannesian Emperor.




Archive VI — The Second Message from the Confederation — Monday, 4 March 2019

[ The Anthem of the Realm starting the ceremony ]










ANNOUNCEMENT: Ladies and gentlemen — the first family of the Realm of fiords and mountain.

[ ... The Eighteenth President of the Electoral College and her multicultural family — the First Gentleman, His Honour Jeremiah Meyer the Fifty-seventh Regional Court Judge in the Kingdom of Burmecia and Pastor Emeritus of the African Yohannesian Resurrection Ascension Church, and their two adoring daughters, six-year-old smiling Shaniqua and four-year-old mischievous-looking Aliyah — entered Parliament House’s Embassy Celebration Ground... ]

[ ... Assembled civil servants of the Office of Embassy and Consulate Programme stood... ]

Hon MARGARET LARSSON (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of Embassy and Consulate Programme; Christian Democratic Party — Christian Faction; Electorate of Königswinter): Civil servants of the nation-state and the most excellent foreign ambassadors and diplomats assembled, I have the high privilege, and distinct honour, of presenting to you the President of the Electoral College — the eighteenth Yohannesian Emperor.

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme clapped their hands and smiled... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN (President of the Electoral College; Yohannes First Party): In the Hand of our Lord Jesus Christ the son of our Father, who art in heaven — thank you —

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme continued to clap their hands... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: Thank you —

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme continued to clap their hands... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: Thank you! Thank you very much!

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme slowly seated themselves... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: It is both my privilege and also, I believe, my responsibility to present this message to the Members and Elected Collegians of the Realm in Parliament assembled today. When the Yohannesian people elected me to take office on behalf of my GOP colleagues, I did promise that child poverty will be one of my main priorities — alongside unsustainable high net migration level, unaffordable house prices caused by cashed-up foreign investors and non-citizens from corrupt nations, and the provision of better infrastructure for the Yohannesian people, especially for the hard-working members of the rural heartland and the long-forgotten industrial bible belt.

Looking back, and without realising it myself, my early inspiration to enter politics and promote GOP’s political platform was to reduce the many social injustices we have seen since the slow but sure rise of excessive neoliberalism and uncontrolled mass immigration — and all the evils that they have caused in our society. Unaffordable house prices in many of our fastest growing cities; overcrowded state and state-integrated schools in many of our inner city neighbourhoods; long waiting times for the elderly and veterans of our nation in many of our hospitals; higher environmental pollution from traffic congestion in many of our once quiet roads and infrastructure entry points; and the tsunami of cheap, slave wage labour that have increasingly displaced the hard-working members of middle Yohannesians and the working class as dishonest, fraudulent employers find it easier to abuse their positions and drive down wages through the supply they have enjoyed from increasing illegal immigration and poor quality migration from second-class nation-builders’ nations.

That is why, as President of the Electoral College — your eighteenth Yohannesian Emperor — I have elected to strengthen the Office of the Minister of Equality and Social Welfare. That is why, as your head of state, representing the existence, legitimacy, and unity of the Yohannesian national people in this Realm of fiords and mountain, I have chosen to create the Office of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Child Poverty Reduction. My resolution to fight for Yohannes First and the Yohannesian national people remains unshaken. I could no longer sit back and watch the many reports of our most vulnerable children going to primary school without breakfast and with no lunch boxes. I could no longer pretend to look the other way and ignore the many parliamentary select committee reports of low decile schools’ poor educational track record — the underfunding, the overcrowding and the crumbling facilities. It was then that I decided: “Enough is enough, I say.”

This morning, I’m proud to announce the creation of a working group comprising some of the most talented industry experts and members of the academia from the education and healthcare industry. The Commission for Child Poverty Reduction will recommend policy statements and will offer its industry-vetted analysis as to how the Thirty-sixth Christian Democratic Executive Council can better improve the lives of our many underprivileged children. In fact, and before I took office as your emperor, this executive council has already started working towards this goal. The Budget Reform 2017’s Re-skilling and Vocational Support Scheme will positively affect the lives of families of low and lower-middle incomes by 2020. The ten-year scheme — 120 billion NationStates Dollars of investment spread over ten years.

Last year, Vocational Education Authority’s Night Learning and Re-skill Programme had already shown its initial effects; it has made a real difference in the lives of mature students and reskilling participants in our Realm by helping them fight unfair age barriers so that they can reach their new goals and career pathways in life. By having access to this extended Re-Skilling programme, these enterprising and hard-working adults enjoy protective support from technical advisers, budgeting mentors, and other experts; in supporting their participation and realising their full engagement in education and on-the-ground apprenticeship — allowing for their eventual contribution to the future tax coffer of this nation by being employed in their chosen field. Young parents are also directed to a wraparound parenting programme to assist in their development of flexible work-parenting skills.

Child poverty is an intergenerational issue — it comes from the cries of the broken families; the neglect of drug-infested households; and the unfair coldness of poorly-insulated, damp state homes. It is time that we say: enough is enough. Successful nation-building should not be about the number of twenty-first century destroyers and the navy cruisers that a nation-state can muster. Succesful nation-building should not be about the success of one’s military operations in a remote land outside one’s border. Succesful nation-building should not be about the number-crunching of treasury forecasts and surpluses.

Here, in this Realm of fiords and mountain, it should be about the happiness, health and well-being of our children. It should be about employment opportunities for the Yohannesian national people. And it should be about how we are prepared to stand up in solidarity and hold our neighbours’ hands in times of fading light.

To fight for what is right!

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme clapped their hands in unison... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: Here — we have the chance; the chance to make the right choice and do what is right for our children and the future generations. We have the opportunity to say “enough is enough” to World Assembly-sanctioned mass immigration. The Yohannesian national people have the opportunity — no, the duties and privileges — to make their voices be heard in parliament, and to tell our lawmakers and civil servants what they believe we should do to better prepare this Realm of fiords and mountain for the future. One more aircraft carrier to intimidate other nations in trading partners such as the Empire of New Edom will not help our nation and will accomplish even less for our people. One more infantry formation and logistics personnel in a costly fictional overseas base will do next to nothing to advance our commerce and trade when we can do so peacefully — and permanently, with the aid of our hundreds of diplomatic and trading partners beyond the International Incidents. The Commonwealth Navy should be chosen as a last resort. Our priorities must lie with the Yohannesian national people and their children — our future generations of nation-builders.

Every executive council in this Realm of fiords and mountain — and every political party and their members who partake in their respective coalition agreements — must devote their time to ensuring that the children of the Yohannesian national people will have the best start in life. The right for our underprivileged children to enjoy a fair, equal education with their more privileged peers, or the opportunity for them to pursue their own paths to success should be one of our main priorities. With the opportunities we have given them, some will fail while others will thrive. Is our job to equalise results? No. But I believe that our job is to equalise — as much as will be practicably possible within affordability — the starting ground from where they could start, safe from deprivation and poverty. For this reason, I would like to thank The Right Honourable Annabelle Thorndon-Stevensonn and the Christian Democratic Party for their bipartisan support to seeing the realisation of this child poverty reduction working group. To table this piece of legislation, we require the support of our many responsible legislators and the cooperation of our countless devoted, hard-working civil servants.

Under my presidency as your elected emperor, I will make sure that this executive council will achieve its realistic targets to reduce child poverty. With the agreement of The Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament Saul Ryan, I promise you — the Yohannesian national people — that I will fight for your children. The Thirty-sixth Christian Democratic Executive Council will achieve its realistic target to reduce child poverty by 2.5 per cent every year. The Parliament of this Realm will table reasonable child equality and welfare initiatives in a bipartisan setting. This morning, because of what we agree to on this day, at this defining moment: Change will once again come to Yohannes!

[ ... Assembled civil servants of the Office of Embassy and Consulate Programme stood... ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: I commend this bipartisan initiative to the Members and Elected Collegians of the Realm in Parliament assembled, and I ask for your support.

[ ... Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme clapped their hands and smiled... ]

“Good day, everybody.”

“At 1.37 on the afternoon of Wednesday, 26 June, a large structural failure resulted in the [ collapse of the Royal Alexandria Rainbow Bridge ]. 140 people were on the bridge at the time of the catastrophic failure. Only four survived. The death of these Yohannesians—our national sisters and brothers—is a tragedy for their families; their workmates, friends and community; and this nation-state. This morning, I spoke with Lord Mayor Günther Möhring, Queen Garnet Til Alexandros, and other leaders at the Palace of Kelburn to express our deep sorrow over the tragic loss of life that took place yesterday afternoon.”

“Jeremiah and I have visited the annual Pride Parade since its first creation and organisation by the visionary Royal Alexandria City Council and the open-minded Royal Alexandrian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in 2010. Over the nine years that have passed, I have personally watched the four-day annual celebration grow from a small community grassroots event to slowly welcome the diverse communities of not just the Kingdom of Alexandria’s capital city, but also beyond—as we all come together as one national people under one flag; accepting that though we may have our differences, at the end of the day nothing could take away the fact that we are united as one national people, under one flag and one nation; that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of rainbow countries and bible belt countries; blue districts and red districts: we are, and always will be, the Nineteen Countries on the continent of Yohannes.”

“Therefore, Mr Speaker, I seek leave to table a petition received by this chamber—this early morning—calling for the Members and Elected Collegians of the Realm in Parliament assembled to come together and mark the tragic loss of life that has occurred yesterday afternoon; and for this chamber to express its heartfelt sympathy and understanding in this time of sadness for the bereaved families, friends and workmates of those who lost their lives yesterday afternoon. I call for parliament to acknowledge the deeply felt impact on the communities that the Rainbow Bridge Disaster has caused.”

“Today is a national day for mourning and remembering.”

Physical and Intellectual Disability Day—Administration and Nation-building 2019 Special Coverage

Once every year, over 100 million people in the Yohannesian Realm would turn on Parliament Channel to watch the elected President of the Electoral College deliver a message from Parliament House to acknowledge how physical and intellectual disabilities affect the daily lives of more than a million Yohannesians with officially recognised disability. One year after her election to succeed the seventeenth Yohannesian Emperor, the Physical and Intellectual Disability Day Message of 19 February 2019 is the first to be delivered by the eighteenth Yohannesian Emperor.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Ladies and gentlemen—the first family of the Realm of fiords and mountain.

[ The Eighteenth President of the Electoral College and her multicultural family—the First Gentleman, His Honour Jeremiah Meyer the fifty-seventh Regional Court Judge in the Kingdom of Burmecia and Pastor Emeritus of the African Yohannesian Resurrection Ascension Church, and their two adoring daughters, smiling six-year-old Shaniqua and four-year-old mischievous-looking Aliyah—entered Parliament House’s Embassy Celebration Ground. ]

[ Assembled civil servants of the Office of Embassy and Consulate Programme stood. ]

Hon MARGARET LARSSON (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of Embassy and Consulate Programme; Christian Democratic Party—Christian Faction; Electorate of Königswinter): Civil servants of the nation-state and the most excellent foreign ambassadors and diplomats assembled, I have the high privilege, and distinct honour, of presenting to you the President of the Electoral College—the eighteenth Yohannesian Emperor.

[ Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme clapped their hands and smiled. ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN (President of the Electoral College; Yohannes First Party): In the Hand of our Lord Jesus Christ the son of our Father, who art in heaven—thank you.

[ Civil servants and attending dignitaries of the Embassy and Consulate Programme slowly seated themselves. ]

Rt Hon MARION MARÉCHAL-LE MEN: Every citizen and legal resident in the Realm of Yohannes has the birthright and liberty to live their daily life without discrimination. This right includes the right of every hard-working disabled person to enjoy their daily life without discrimination. It is the Thirty-sixth Christian Democratic Executive Council’s aim to table a piece of legislation through the chamber of Parliament tomorrow that will improve the lives of our disabled brothers and sisters; our disabled mothers and fathers in this Realm of fiords and mountain.

Under the GOP and Christian Democratic Party’s proposed bipartisan amendment Bill to the original Gender, LGBT, Racial and Religious Minority Act 2016, disability will be mainly specified as follows:

• A physical impairment or disability, and the limitations associated with them;
• A physical health problem or illness;
• An intellectual or psychological impairment or disability;
• Limitations associated with atypical physiological, psychological or anatomical structure or function; and
• The need for a guide dog, wheelchair, or other remedial support due to disability, illness, or injury.

The Gender, LGBT, Racial and Religious Minority Amendment Bill 2019 is the Thirty-sixth Christian Democratic Executive Council’s caring solution that will move the boundary of disability support away from family to taxpayer responsibilities in a fiscally responsible way. The funding for this initiative will come from our hard-earnt savings under the original “Marioncare” Act.

The prohibition on discrimination against disabled persons will be applied regardless of whether the disability is still present or was present in the past. The amendment Bill will give the Ministry of Health and Human Services the power to create a new policy with the aim of subsidising healthcare costs for parents and resident family members other than spouses of high need disabled persons aged thirteen and over. The amendment will also ban discriminatory practice against disabled family members and business employees.

I truly believe that a hard-working disabled person—a contributing taxpayer of this nation—should not be made to reveal their disability when looking for a job. Employers who want to employ them should only ask relevant official information that they will need to judge the interested applicant’s quality of being right for the job and roles expected of them.

Excluding some unique circumstances, direct disability discriminatory practice is against the law, especially when it victimises those unfortunate individuals in a workplace setting—and, for the purpose of this amendment, this includes independent employment contract relationship and voluntary or unpaid work setting. The Thirty-sixth Christian Democratic Executive Council will help see through the prohibition of discriminatory practice at any stage of the hiring process and recruitment phase against disabled Yohannesian citizens and legal residents.

The rights of our hard-working disabled citizens will extend to their protection during employment search and notice; interviews for jobs; contract offers and acceptance; the working environment and all existing circumstances that will affect labour in the workplace, including job hours and legal rights and responsibilities of disabled individuals; equal remuneration rights; and the involuntary ending of a disabled person’s career because of their disability.

Marioncare’s forward-thinking approach to investing into our future will provide enough funding for this scheme, which will be directed for the benefits of not just disabled workers but also their employers—in the form of subsidy for employers of high need and very high need employees. This supplementary funding will be used for the provision of special equipment, facilities, and much-needed services. For instance, Marioncare will provide some funding for special travel arrangements to and from the workplace. Another example is extra funding for compulsory equipment such as specially designed disability chairs, workstations and diagnostic and therapeutic devices.

Come 2022, it is my hope that this piece of legislation and its relevant collection of statutes will help a hard-working disabled person so that he or she can fulfill his or her job equally—or with minimum disadvantages—as a person without disability would be able to fulfill their job. At the same time, we hope that this piece of legislation will support those commendable employers who have decided to treat our hard-working disabled citizens and legal residents equally as they would treat their non-disabled employees.

We realise that it would not be fair for us to expect our many contributing small and medium-sized enterprises to provide all the necessary equipment and facilities without the support of this caring bipartisan government programme.

OOC: As per your question; I was a bit confused regarding how Yohannes actually exists. I had presumed that it was an Empire, but I was really confused with this post: viewtopic.php?p=34589044#p34589044

Out-of-character information: This is Yohannes speaking here, as I’ve said by telegram, Great Nortend, thanks for the question man! I’ve always respected your nation-building skills (and I don’t say this often to other players on NationStates), and I’ve always enjoyed reading your archaic writing style; and so I’ll (try to) answer your question to the best of my ability! If there’s anything that you disagree with, or you feel like criticising, please do tell me so I can address the issue

[ Edit 4: Too long; didn't read, Yohannes is just a federal republic in all but name (think of the more unitary "State of Japan" with the Emperor of Japan in real life)

Yohannes was an “empire,” not an empire in the sense of having a collection of overseas realms, but that it was founded as a confederation of 19 countries—each with their own king, princes and earls; and all reporting to a single emperor: the Yohannesian Emperor and President of the Electoral College of the Nineteen Countries (the two titles are linked; if one is abolished then the other will be too). And technically it was an “empire,” because of the 19 countries, only 3 truly ruled over the entire realm (To this day, the three kingdoms in Yohannes—Alexandria, Burmecia and Lindblum—have more people and area than all the other 16 countries combined)

However, as recorded under The Fifth Amendment—Federalism and Countries’ Rights and 7.2. Office of the Emperor, the “empire” nature of Yohannes slowly changed. While at first the elected Yohannesian Emperor—in effect, a president of the federated states—had (almost) absolute power over such state matters as foreign relations, defence and fiscal policy, slowly (as in real life), that power was slowly eroded (because of the founding institutions of both the Electoral College and the Realm Parliament)

This was, of course, not planned, nor was it meant to be this way. The Executive had originally been planned as a supreme body of the nation, able to override the authority of the legislature and the judiciary when necessary. However, as all things historical in real life, things didn’t happen the way the Founding Fathers had wanted it. Long story short, today Yohannes is more of a federation (in practice) than a confederation (only on paper), while the Yohannesian Emperor has to share their power with the Chancellor of the Realm—and most importantly, the Realm Parliament. Furthermore, the judiciary has grown to be the stronger (and most respected) institution of the three. More information on Yohannes’ politics and government can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=32327682#p32327682

Now, I can talk all the day about this, but here comes the most important thing: so, just what are the strengths and weaknesses of my nation because of this?

Since 2010, I’ve seen many nation-builders on NationStates; many made their mark in a good way, while a few reached the top of the board in terms of RPing/nation-building/writing record. But what I’ve noticed by observing almost every single one of them was that very few had wanted to honestly say the weaknesses of their nation. Every single thing I read was about how everyone and their mother is a “Great Power” (now, that term is cheap to me, if I see someone say they’re “great power” I tend to automatically [not always though] see them as an insecure out-of-character nation-builder and owner of an insignificant in-character nation); how their political system has no flaws and their economic system is “mixed” and “free market” (what?) and they only export and not import things (lol) and they don’t have debt (even more lol) [ Edit3: The most lol-worthy is the one where even today I see a respected nation-builder try to hold multi-million man wars in other people's region (and his own region) while trying to pass his nation as an economic and trading powerhouse ]

Long story short, we’ve built Yohannes since 2017 with many weaknesses (to make it exciting and also to make us want to stay longer writing on NationStates) in mind to complement its strengths, and this includes its flawed political system. Some weaknesses in Yohannes’ political system at present, including but not limited to:

1. When a single party hold the Office of Yohannesian Emperor together with the Office of the Speaker of the Realm Parliament, they can influence policy-making in government over the Office of the Chancellor (and consequently the Executive Council). However, the influence they have will not be enough to override the authority of the Chancellor, and so they’ll have to meet halfway and produce a satisfactory bipartisan policy that both the Executive and the Legislature can agree with. So in a way we can say that today the Office of Yohannesian Emperor is part of the legislature, not the executive (though then again the holder of that position has always been the holder of the title “President of the Electoral College” too, so formally has always been part of the legislature)

2. The hundreds of princes and earls (Electoral College) in the nation do really create problems for the nation (fiscally they’re a burden) and politically they’ve never been neutral. The Prince-Electors include also the Archbishops and clergymen of the nation, as we’ve showcased under our narrative storytelling thread here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=459009 (and in other older posts too but too many to give)

So is Yohannes an “empire” today? An empire in the sense that it is ruled by a single supreme ruler (an emperor) at the top overseeing a federation of kings, princes and earls? It’s hard to say. Since even now (in 2019), the incumbent of the Office of the Yohannesian Emperor is in fact not a member of the nobility, but a normal politician, the Office of the Yohannesian Emperor is basically the office of a president in all but name (with its own election together with the Electoral College every eight years, separate from the general election for the Chancellor/Executive Council and Realm Parliament which is held every four years). I like to make my nation confusing that way (in an in-character sense, not out-of-character), because it allows me to explore my own nation without limiting myself

Edit: Added “Out-of-character information” tag

Edit2: Concerning the post [ viewtopic.php?p=34589044#p34589044 ], I’ve added the following to make it clear to people that it was not serious: “[ Out-of-character information: The following is just me poking fun in a good way at Europa Universalis III!

Dear esteemed Madam,

In the name of the Gods and the Goddesses, most gracious, most merciful.

Salutations! My name is Retno Marsudi, Foreign Minister of the Empire of Majapahit. I speak on behalf of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Jayanagara VII, Supreme Commander-in-chief of Majapahit, Divine Guardian of the Realm, as well as His Excellency Premier Joko Widodo. I would like to firstly thank you for previously establishing an embassy in Majapahit, and undoubtedly we shall return the favour.

By the power vested in me I hereby wish to apply for the establishment of a Majapahiti diplomatic mission, represented by an Embassy, in the Realm of Yohannes. This decision is in accordance with His Imperial Majesty's foreign policy to instate and strengthen diplomatic ties with nations from around the world.

Should you accept our application, His Imperial Majesty shall appoint Mr. Edyana Sutantra, an experienced diplomat having served in the Imperial Diplomatic Corps for nearly a decade, as His Imperial Majesty's Ambassador to the Realm of Yohannes. He shall perform his duties professionally and serve his Empire well as a representative of our Nation and People.

Attached to this letter you may find the filled embassy application form.

We hope that cordial and positive relations between our two nations can be established and maintained for the years to come. We sincerely await your response.

Kind Regards,

Hon. Retno L.P. Marsudi,
Foreign Minister, Majapahit
