Meta <3
For those of you who haven't yet heard, I'm resigning from all my posts and leaving all simcords after this election. It's been a great year in this sim, but the time has come for me to leave. I'm so glad to have been a part of this community and to have helped build this state into what it is. I'd like to specifically thank House, who joined almost at the exact same time as me, for making this sim fun, and always being friendly competition. Of course, all of you AC Socs and most of you AC Dems cannot be forgotten either.
A new clerk will open the state on Wednesday/Thursday, following the election results.

Announcement Extradition of Criminal Nazi KayHaitchEl
Good evening,
As Governor of the Great State of the Northeast, it is known that I stand in solidarity with many causes. It is also to be noted, that racism, sexism, and outright bigotry shall not be tolerated in this instance or in ANY instance.
Recently, the Southern State has placed an active warrant out for criminal Nazi, Commander Kay Haitch-El.
Kay Haitch-El is known for being the founder of the Nationalist Party, and for prognosticating the racial and anti-Semitic tendencies of the National Socialist Movement (Nazis)
While the free exercise of free speech is a paramount in this administration; this type of bigotry is not.
It is therefore, that we support the actions being carried out by the southern State and will honor the warrant put out by them by helping to find, arrest and extradite KHL to the Southern State.
Starting at this moment, until his capture, The police and other officials, as well as citizens wishing to become deputized, shall be put on alert.
I must stress that Commander El must be captured ALIVE.
Those wishing to be deputized will pass a background check, drug test, and basic Less-Than-Lethal weapons test given by police and other law enforcement officials.
Upon capture, Mr. El will be transported to the nearest police precinct for identification and booking, then extradited to Tallahassee, Florida for service of the warrant.
Thank you for your time, and goodnight.
EDIT: Commander El has been Captured in Union Square, the site of G.L. Rockwell, Leader of the American Nazi Party's second Rally. He was attempting to make it to LaGuardia Airport to board a flight to Sweden, when he was captured by local authorities at 11:15pm Local Time.

Announcement By-Election Announcement
The Situation
Due to the resignation of the Governor as well as the fact that there is currently no Lt. Governor or Speaker, means that the Northeast will have a by-election for Governor and Lt.Governor.
As usual, the Governor and Lt. Governor shall be voted on as one ticket. The election shall be conducted using First Past the Post.
Candidate Submission
Each party should send their nominees for the positions via this state's modmail. Independents send the same information via modmail.
Deadline
ALL CANDIDATES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE 29th OF FEBRUARY AT 7 PM EST VIA MODMAIL.
Voting Eligibility
To vote in this election, the reddit account voting must be at least 3 months old on the day of voting
or
have joined a party before this post.
Electoral Roll
Only those currently enrolled in the Northeast will be able to vote. All moving to this state will not be allowed during the election.
New voters may still register in this state and vote.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have below. I may edit this thread in order to add more information.
Timeline
Candidates submitted on the 29th by 7 EST.
Debate thread will be posted for candidates to make their case. (During the 29th/1st)
Voting begins on March 2nd at 12:00 EST.
Voting will end March 5th at 12:00 EST.
Special Case with Advertising
The mods are currently working on some fixes to how we advertise. In addition, this is a special case as we've never had a by-election before.
Therefore, all advertising on subreddits will not be allowed from now until the end of the election. This includes PMs. The one exception is that you may PM people already in your party (on the "approved submitter" list).
This rule is absolute. Since there was a bit of a problem regarding PMs last time I will spell out the punishment right here. Anybody who advertises during the election for a party running will receive a minimum 30 day ban and a maximum of a permaban. The party for whom they advertised will lose some % or number of their votes. The severity will depend on how long the post is up and if the offender cooperates or not. If some random person accidentally advertises for your party, too bad. It will be each party's job to police their own people in this case.
See the stickied comment below.

Announcement Socialist Party Presidential Nomination Speech
President Big Boss's speech, following his official nomination in the March 2017 Socialist Party primaries. Delivered in front of the Massachusetts State House in the Commons. Boston, MA.
Bostonians, comrades of the Atlantic Commonwealth, and my fellow Americans.
I am absolutely thrilled to be standing here today, as the Socialist Party's nominee for re-election as President of the United States of America!
I would like to thank /u/Nataliewithasecret, /u/Sofishticated, /u/Lorath, /u/Kerbogha, and everyone else who made these primaries a little more interesting. I hope that during the next election season, many of you are among those standing on the stage again to take up the mantel after my time has passed. Truly, any one of you would serve the party, and the people, well.
With a convention and State of the Union on the horizon, I will keep this speech brief. This is a time of celebration. Not for me, but for you. For our party, our supporters, and those we serve with our actions and words alike. It is a great personal honor to be reaffirmed as the spearhead sharpened by the strength and vigor of my comrades to pierce the armor of the capitalist system, but it is the force of hundreds of passionate people fighting on behalf of the powerless. Your energy and power is what drives me to do everything I do. I cannot stress enough how your support drives me to do everything I do. For that, I thank you all immensely. You truly deserve the praise and celebration on this day.
But let us not forget that the optimism of the day is a flower blooming in ashen soil. We have a long ways yet to go to dismantle the institutional systems of oppression which work against every manner of underprivileged minority and low-income individual in this country. Our work environment and educational system are yet to be fully modernized and tailored to the needs and interests of workers and students. And we have a ways to travel before we reach anything close to an environmental Nirvana. But the wounds of the past are not enough to keep this land infertile forever. As your candidate, I am but a flower, tethered against the raging winds by a thousand roots.
I hope you will all come together in support of this campaign and to keep the fiery sun of our revolution shining upon this earth. Whether you are the loudest and proudest revolutionary among us, or a timid soul with only a single word to say
Remember that the most beautiful gardens spread outward, not upward.
Stand tall, even if you are underground.

Meta Bylaw Changes & Stuff
Yeah, we do have bylaws. They have also never been read over by myself. That is going to change and so shall, I assume, most of the stuff in them. I'll write any changes I make/made here. Most should be minor and just made to reflect how the state is already run. Others stuff... We'll burn that bridge once we get to it.
Oath wrote these things in bullet points. This was an abomination before the eyes of the Lord. We now have a sensible system of organization as God would want.
Article I, section B once read "The amendment period for the bill shall be a length of two (2) days between Tuesday and Wednesday." It now reads "The amendment period for the bill shall be a length of 72 hours, from Monday to Thursdays."
Article I, section C once read "The voting period for the bill shall be a length of two (2) days between Thursday and Friday." It now reads "The voting period for the bill shall be a length of 48 hours, from Thursday to Saturday."
Similar changes occur in Article II
Okay, this two day thing is happening a lot, so anywhere that the bylaws say "two days" (and probably misunderstands what that means), they now say 48 hours.
Article III, Section C, clause 1 added and reads "A discharge petition signed by four (4) or more assembly members may rush legislation on the docket, with priority over the Speaker’s powers to rush."
Article III, Section D, added and reads "The Speaker and Minority Leader shall be permitted to post no more than two (2) speeches to the State sub per month at the clerk’s discretion."Article III, Section D, Clause 1, added and reads "At the beginning of each term, the Speaker, the Minority Leader, and any other persons permitted at the clerk’s discretion may give speeches laying out the agendas of their caucuses for the rest of the term."Article III, Section D, Clause 1, added and reads "At the end of each term, the Governor may give a speech in regards to the progress made under their administration to which the Speaker, the Minority Leader, and any other persons permitted at the clerk’s discretion, shall be permitted to respond to."
Think that's it, but there may be updates to come.
Updates
This added "& Lieutenant Governor" to section C
Deleting anything to the effect of "If no quorum exists, ignore the word “quorum”."
Article XVII (yes, seriously) added and now reads, "All official state business involving the State Clerk shall be done via modmail unless explicitly stated otherwise by the State Clerk."
FYI: I'm technically supposed to give you guys a week notice before changing these things. So the rules aren't changed yet, but they will be in a week.
Other Stuff
I've decided to look into making the State more interesting and by extension more annoying for myself. I'm mainly looking to do this by giving minorities in the assembly something to make their existence meaningful. Ideas on this front are still very much welcome although I have added a few ideas given to me to the bylaws just now.
Also, Oath has instructed me to automate as much of the State as is robotically possible. So I'll be doing that a bunch in the coming days.

Announcement In Regards to ModelMinutemen threats
Recently it has come to my attention that we have received a threat from a group calling themselves the /u/ModelMinutemen that have threatened attacks on our soil. As such, I have ordered the State Police, Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies operating in the Northeast State to be on high alert this holiday season. In addition, the State Police are investigating these threats and will bring whoever is responsible to justice. We further call on the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to assist us with our investigation and ensure that every resident of the Northeast State remains safe this holiday season.
Anyone who has information regarding these threats is encouraged to call your local State Trooper office or dial 311.
Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Announcement Statement from the Governor regarding recent scandal.
Good evening,
As many of you know, very recently /u/whaleshipessex was relieved of his duties as state clerk, as was /u/locosherman1 relieved of his state legislature spot, as well as his minority leader position due to a scandal involving alternate accounts.
As Governor, I would first like to say that while these two men came from the Communist party, that this was a lone, unusual case, and did not involve anyone but the parties aforementioned.
Furthermore, it is my duty as Governor of this Great State to now find a replacement legislator to take /u/locosherman1 's place.
The Communist Party is working diligently to internally vote for a replacement as of this posting.
In regards to the position of state clerk, former deputy clerk /u/ben1204 will be taking the position. I have no doubt he will do a splendid job and serve our state well.
This administration shall have a zero tolerance policy towards this type of behavior, as it belittles the very mission we have for the state.
Though our state has been effected by this, I assure you all that this administration is committed to the highest levels of excellence. It is our duty to you, the citizens of this great state, to represent you in the greatest capacity we are able.
I thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Governor Ross V. Debs
