I am reliably informed that rum is OUT and cachaca is IN in TNP and Osiris would presumably produce bandages and little else

Nations arrive in the region. Region gets locked with a password and everyone must join WA for short period, a day or two, to verify one nation per player. Then based on the daily NS stat rankings, 1st place is awarded the Head of Household position and nominates 2 nations for eviction. Still working out how to do the veto competition, but then the remaining nations, minus the HoH and nominees cast secret votes by telegram to evict 1 nation. Nation voted for eviction gets ejected to TRR and the game continues until 2 players are left. Some of the last to be evicted would then constitute a jury to select the winner.
Thoughts or interest on the idea?

There was an earlier version of this, where NS-UN membership (So, it was a LOT earlier...) wasn't necessary and it was simply a matter of the Founder expelling whichever nation had the lowest surveyed ranking each day... Oh, and IIRC all of the nations involved had to be new ones. It was run in a specially-created region, organised by the government of Equilism, IIRC. One of my own puppets, now currently CTEd, was created for it.

I'm reading this thread for the first time now and feel I should point out that Anarchy implements most elements of your Peacezone Theory: no bannings or ejections, ROs are simply custodians of their tools, and the delegate almost never votes on WA resolutions. I think the last time they did was when I was delegate three years ago, due to my heavy GA involvement.
We break with the theory as you outlined it in that our WFE is obviously not neutral and we tend to reject embassies from 1) virulent opponents of our little group of ideologies and 2) largely shitposting regions or embassy collectors. Those aren't rigid policies, though - these are the results of community decisions or administrative acts about which nobody has spoken up to complain about or disagree with. And other than after a raid, we do not seek out or request embassies ourselves (again, if the community wanted to, we would).
It might be interesting to see the full implementation in some region, but you'd need good recruiting to make it so in an active way and not just "this region is empty and/or puppets."

It was primarily offsite (it was way before Regional Officers) but was essentially "everyone's a dictator for a week" with almost unlimited powers save the ability to change the Rotatorship system.
It only lasted a few weeks until a Communist themed regime gulaged most its opponents for a while week, but would translate well to a gameside version based aaround ROs. Diplomacy with a Rotatorship major region would be a blast.

I like the idea of a region where everyone has the chance to eventually become WA delegate and have that NS experience for at least a little while. I think it would be especially effective if nations that have already served as delegates can’t be selected again unless all available candidates have gone before.
And I really like the idea of it being an autocratic form of randomness, with the WA delegate able to do whatever they wanted with the region and reshape it as they see fit. I imagine they just wouldn’t be able to ban and eject nations so as not to ruin the fairness.
Does a region built along those lines currently exist?
