Fugitive

A **fugitive** is a nation charged with a criminal offense or multiple and has failed to comply with High Court procedings. This act can occur through outright defiance or a failure to respond to Court communication. In practice, most fugitives have left the region without attending court while responding with an indication to not return.

When a nation fails to comply with Court proceedings, the Court responds via ordering a region and/or off-site ban for an indefinite duration to be applied to the nation in question. This ban is rescinded once the nation indicates an intent to cooperate again. No fugitive has ever returned to comply with their criminal proceedings, leading some to believe that their status acts as a de facto permanent ban.

## History

### **Inception**

Conceptually, fugitives were created de facto by § IV(E)(iv) of GAR21:

> If an Accused fails to reasonably cooperate with the Court or participate in its Proceedings, the Court may impose a Region Ban (with an exception for the High Court dependency region) and/or an Offsite Ban on the Accused, until they resume reasonable cooperation with the Court and participation in its proceedings.
>
>

The term "fugitive" in a regional sense was coined by Chief Justice Twelve Titans upon his creation of the Court records. The records state the following in regards to fugitives:

> [The dispatch] also includes "Fugitives", who have **not** been convicted in their cases, but who are presently failing to or refusing to participate in judicial proceedings.
>
>

### **Past Fugitives**

There have been three fugitives in New West Indies history. The first fugitive was The Greater Iran, a role-player who had been charged with Misdemeanor Abuse of Freedom of Expression for posting an allegedly inappropriate meme on Discord (19-01). The case was initiated on December 14, 2019, and it was the first case in High Court history. Despite being ordered to attend Court, they refused while using an expletive. In response, the Court issued an indefinite region ban. The accused has yet to comply with proceedings, and the case was last active on December 19.

The nation Cambrian Albany is also a fugitive. They were accused of Violating Communication Rules and Misdemeanor Abuse of Freedom of Expression (20-03). They have yet to comply with proceedings. The case was last active on April 20, 2020.

The most recent fugitive was Yashou Japan. They were charged with three counts of Administrative Fraud, General Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud, Defamation, Spamming, Violating Communication Rules, and Unauthorized Recruitment (20-06). They remain on the run. The case was last active May 10, 2020.

Land's End Stock Exchange

The **Lands End Company Stock Exchange** (LEX), also known as the **Lands End Stock Exchange** or **Lands End Exchange**, is a simulated stock exchange in which investors can buy shares in regions around NationStates. The Exchange was created by August and was first opened to the public on June 17, 2021. The Exchange is owned by the Land's End Company, a region centered around a public corporation.

To participate in the LEX, an investor must be "verified" by the AugustinAndroid Bot. Then, they are given a starting loan in which they can use to invest. To do so, investors can browse the listed stocks, choose one or more that they like, and then buy a certain number of shares in that region within their cash balance. Then, the investor may sell whenever, normally when they can earn a profit (i.e. their exit surpasses their total expense). Investors may also conduct other actions, such as cash or share transfers to other investors, interregional trading, and contracts.

The New West Indies is currently listed as 44th out of 59 listed stocks, fluctuating between 40 and 50. The community is frequently involved in the LEX; as of July 2021, 14 citizens are trading in the market, with 8 of them ranked in the top 50 for overall profit.

**New Spiedska**, also known as **Squid** or **Woomy**, was a New West Indies citizen, role-player, and Broadcaster. They previously served on the Roleplay Committee from March to X month 2020.

They mainly focus on roleplay and the promotion of world-building through the committee. Their roleplay nation is located in the equivalent location of the Northeastern United States, and they are well-renown for their unique squid people. It is one of the only instances of a non-human species in the New West Indies roleplay.

On April 19th, 2020, they established the Discord station "Amanda's Sketchy Corner," in which they post a variety of content including splatoon, music, and their in-character nation.

They left the region on August 13, 2020, but they later returned on November 30 to a warm welcome. However, they disappeared again after December 27th.

## Early Days

Upon acquisition of citizenship on March 29th, 2020, Squid immediately became involved in the regional roleplay. They largely focused on factbook writing and detailed overview posts. It wasn't long before they showed an inclination for character-based roleplay and a unique non-human perspective.

## Roleplay

*Main Article: New Spiedska (Nation)*

New Spiedska in-character is a nation in the coastal Northeastern section of the former United States of America. A populous nation, it is mostly made up of squid-like creatures called "inklings" who amount to nearly 84% of the population.

The nation is a Federal Presidential Republic, with a democratic legislature defined by the Senate and House of Representatives. President Amanda Miller is a well-known figure throughout the world, and she regularly participates in the affairs of other nations.

## Roleplay Committee

Immediately after gaining citizenship, Squid joined the Roleplay Committee, a group of citizens dedicated to world-building. It was not long before they shared their ideas and began writing world history. They remain an active contributor to the group.

## Broadcasting

On April 19th, 2020, Squid founded Amanda's Sketchy Corner, a station on Discord dedicated to sharing their personal interests. It is the 13th station in New West Indies history.

The channel contains a variety of content, including photos of splatoon characters, music, memes, and trivia of the New Spiedska (in-character) nation.

## Miscellaneous

On April 28th, 2020, Squid was conferred the Fourth Class Influence Award for endorsing the World Assembly Delegate, Karteria.

**"Brief" History/Biography:**

Being who he is, Kaldor left the Exiled Lands on a personal quest, leaving behind loved ones to get revenge on the lord who exiled him in the first place. Taking his band of companions, the Black Legion, along with him, seeing as every last one had a personal grudge against said lord, they headed for Stygia, ready to show him the error of his ways.

Arriving there, they were relatively quickly picked off, an army seemingly waiting for them, their overall motives and plans apparently having been found out. Every single person who wasn't killed outright during the battle that ensued, was tortured to death in front of their beloved leader, further breaking his psyché. Being tortured himself, he was eventually tossed right back to the Exiled Lands, finding himself rescued by someone he rescued himself before leaving. Travelling with her, until they eventually both settled in at a small village near the Oasis of Nekhet, he took up trading, being quite the adventurous person he finds lots of odd things.

• The Anarchist Communist

"*Our cover picture is the courtesy of the Honourable @Κυμιούπολις, representing Dorchester Square in Montreal."*

– Celestiam

**The Honorable** or **The Honourable** is an official and prestigious title for particular holders of office. The title is automatically applied to a citizen elected to the office of the President of the General Assembly or appointed to the Secretariat by the Secretary-General.

The title was originally created by the General Assembly via resolution on January 1, 2020. It is normally used in formal settings, such as government press releases, in the High Court, and within legislation. However, some officials may elect to use their titles in other areas.

## Overview

The Honorable (or The Hounourable) is used as a title for either the President of the General Assembly or a Secretary. The title is normally used in official settings, though it may also be used in common conversation. This title is the lowest order of seniority of all official titles.

As with all similar official titles, users of this title may only use it during their tenure in office and must relinquish it upon abdication.

## History

The title was first established when the General Assembly passed General Resolution 24: "Commending Honourable Acts" on January 1, 2020. Upon passage, titles were soon thereafter bestowed; every title was posted on the Citizens List for documentation and showcasing. Titles were also eventually included into corresponding government roles on Discord.

The first users of the title were the newly reelected President of the General Assembly Reno Sheriffs Department as well as then Secretary-General Karteria's new cabinet. From then on, multiple Presidents and other Secretaries have used the title in formal and informal activities.

## Unofficial Use

Some prominent General Assembly lawmakers also enjoy using the term Honorable (or Honourable) to address their fellow colleagues. Some claim that this is in the pursuit of keeping the legislature professional.

**Reno Sheriffs Department**, also known as **Reno**, **RSD, or The Honourable Reno Sheriffs Department** during his tenure**,** was a New West Indian statesman who served as the 7th President of the General Assembly. He previously served as Electoral Archivist in the Department of Administration.

Reno Sheriffs Department started his NWI career commenting legislation in the General Assembly and entered the Executive Branch as political archivist. Reno Sheriffs Department was a member of the Progressive Party, where he won the election for party nominee for the General Assembly Presidential Election. A few weeks later he won the election and became the 7th President of the General Assembly.

Reno Department became famous outside politics for his Jabba the Hutt and Sheriff pictures, and his insistence that the Sky is superior to Land.

## Political Archivist

In mid-August 2019, Newly arrived Reno Sheriffs Department expressed interest for the position of Political Archivist, in the early days of Secretary-General Karteria's government job programme. Reno Sheriffs Department is often described as one of the first civil servants to have joined this programme.

Reno featured in the September Monthly Update as an interviewee for an Op-Ed promoting Government jobs. This appearance made Reno the first citizen to be interviewed in a Monthly Update, and helped promote Government Jobs.
As Political archivist, Reno inherited and maintained a series of political dispatches from Karteria's tenure as Secretary of Administration, including a record of all regional elections and political profiles of all prominent NWI politicians.

## President of the General Assembly

### First Term: October-December 2019

The beginning of the Reno presidency saw the continuation of the activity spike that begun a few months prior. It is widely regarded as the most active presidency since the position's establishment.

Since July 2018, no President has had a greater number of resolutions considered by the General Assembly, with the first Reno term having six laws passed (including the longest ever in history). There were also many more participants in drafting than normal, and, for the first time, someone other than Achipel or Karteria authored a new law.

Reno Sheriffs Department also attempted to expand the flexibility of the legislature; procedures for submitting laws, official debate motions, and resolution writing were created. The President also created the first ever docket to showcase upcoming legislation (eventually moving it to the wiki).
O' Serene New West Indies

**O' Serene New West Indies** is the official anthem for the New West Indies. It was written by Cymiopolis and made the anthem by popular vote on January 30th, 2020.

The idea of an anthem was first proposed by Achipel in a discord poll on June 17th, 2019 with extensive support. Nevertheless, this idea did not come to fruition until seven months later. In the competition, other anthem authors included North Italian Union and an anonymous submitter.

## Lyrics

O’ serene New West Indies;

A region that peace embodies.

From the beaches of Achipel;

to the North Italian vistas,

You are the envy of the ages

O’ stoic New West Indies;

A region that justice embodies.

From the savannah of Twelve Titans;

to the Karterian valleys,

Your judgement is both fair and true.

O’ genteel New West Indies;

A region that culture embodies.

From the vineyards of Cymiopolis,

to the Shakadian oases,

Your influence is ever expanding

O’ mighty New West Indies;

A region that strength embodies.

From the colonies of New Sistonia,

To the Carolinian shipyards,

Your immense power has no match

To ensure our region never falls;

Is among our many duties.

United we promote and protect you,

Our beloved and beautiful region,

O’ serene New West Indies.

Flags of the New West Indies

The New West Indian Flag

Discord Emoji

**Flags** are often used to symbolically represent a region or the nations within them. The New West Indies maintains a regional flag shown on its main page, which has gone through several iterations over the course of the region's lifetime.

Following the Treaty of Conservation and the merger of Conifer, the New West Indies added several honored flags to its repertoire.

## Iterations (in chronological order)

### June 26, 2019 - Present

Created by New United Carolinas, the modern flag of the New West Indies has a golden star in the middle of five horizontal stripes. Two stripes are navy, two are blue, and one large one is white.

The golden star is an apparent callback to the Caribbean-related origins of the New West Indies, which is its namesake and on what the initial roleplay ideas were based. The colors have no known symbolism.

The flag was decided in a regional flag competition in which five citizens submitted their best creation to be the next regional flag. In a close popular vote, the flag created by New United Carolinas barely won with 9 votes, flanked by Electorate's 7 and Cymiopolis' 5.

## Conifer

### **January 21, 2019 - April 5, 2020**

The last flag of Conifer (and later Evergreen Conifer) was maintained as their regional flag up until the ratification of the Treaty of Conservation, which merged the region with the New West Indies. Even so, it is designated an honored flag that represents the Coniferan Remnant and their culture, past and present.
Coniferan Remnant

This is only funny in context.It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, be expanded.
The **Coniferan Remnant** is the group of nations residing in the New West Indies who were a member- or voting-state in the former region of Conifer. This group emigrated to the New West Indies following the ratification of the Treaty of Conservation. Under the treaty, former member-states were given automatic citizenship in the New West Indies regardless of whether they completed an application. Former voting-states were given automatic citizenship upon their request.

Members of the Coniferan Remnant include many prominent citizens, including the current Secretary-General, Secretary of Internal Affairs, and Region's Attorney. The Remnant is the largest official demographic group in the New West Indies.
Nordic States of Europe

**Nordic States of Europe**, also known as **Nordic** or **N.S.E.**, was a citizen of the New West Indies. They were recruited by Secretary-General Karteria and gained citizenship on January 1st, 2020.

Nordic quickly proved to be an active and social member, becoming well-known for participation in The Daily Aww. Their cat, commonly attributed pseudo-latin nicknames, is widely popular.

Following the General Assembly's 10th Presidential election, The Anarchist Communist was elected as President, Nordic was chosen as their President pro Tempore, the second in New West Indies history. They were dismissed from the position on April 19th, 2020.

They ceased to exist on August 24, 2020.

## Early Days

Nordic States of Europe was recruited through a telegram stamp campaign conducted by then Secretary-General Karteria beginning in December 2019. Upon entrance to the region, they quickly applied and got approved for citizenship.

Socializing among the populace was the main priority for Nordic, similar to most new members. Further involvement came when they became co-owner of The Daily Aww – with the permission of owner Frellor – on February 11th, 2020. They proceeded to mostly post photos of their black and white cat, attributing nicknames with pseudo-Latin terms, starting with "cutus" and ending with whatever best depicted the cat's situation. The cat quickly became popular among the New West Indies, with dozens of members reacting with positivity every new post.

## Roleplay Committee

On March 29th, 2020, Nordic applied to become a member of the Roleplay Committee, a group of prominent role-players dedicated to world-building for the primary canon. Within the application, they displayed a particular interest in general world-building and geography. They were accepted on the same day, becoming the ninth member of the committee concurrently with the eighth member New Spiedska.

## President pro Tempore

On March 22nd, 2020, The Anarchist Communist announced that Nordic would be on his electoral ticket for President of the General Assembly as his President pro Tempore. Following the end of the voting period on March 27th, The Anarchist Communist was elected with 16 votes, and he was elected as the 10th President. Nordic will become the second President pro Tempore following the inauguration on April 1st, 2020.

On April 19th, 2020, they were dismissed by The Anarchist Communist.

Titans: Court Punishments

I agree with you that the Constitution does not currently permit these things. There are a multitude of rights provided to citizens and resident. But to say that for any ban all of them should be curtailed, no matter the length of ban or type or severity of the offense, is far too harsh of a punishment. Why should the SecGen convicted of spam lose office? Why should the candidate convicted of posting an inappropriate meme be removed from an election? Why should a nation who got a little too rowdy during a campaign forfeit their right to vote in the election? These rights - voting, holding office, and running in elections (etc.) - are what I seek to protect for minor cases.

The Constitution currently includes several barriers to the Court's ability to apply punishments - I do not contest this. Your proposed solution - coupling citizenship suspension with bans - will have to suffice for the short term. Furthermore, the Court will have to withhold the imposition of any sort of mute as well. But I cannot support such a solution for the long term. Such applies too severe a punishment for minor offenses, which, if I were CJ, would be a significant deterrent to ever applying a region ban for misdemeanors, unless exceptionally severe.

The long term solution I propose is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution currently permits the Court to only curtail all rights. I believe this should be any and all. This way, all of the nuanced punishments - mutes, offsite bans, short bans, etc. - are legal.

Having acquired citizenship on September 9, 2018, they are among the oldest members still residing in the region. Upon arrival, they quickly became highly-involved in roleplay via their in-character Middle Eastern nation. They participated in the Alien Storyline co-created by Volirum.

While never leaving in-character writing for good, New Sistonia became well-known for other areas of regional activity. They begun a storied career in both private and public administration via their Old West Indies project, a dependent region dedicated to a new medieval roleplay. This project was the first major instance of roleplay outside of the traditional canon. They also ran a highly popular gaming server for New West Indians to coordinate and explore games together. They also ran multiple Discord stations related to gaming and storytelling.

As a founding member of the Roleplay Committee, Sistonia continues to serve the activity that attracted him to the region. He was the first group of members to join the committee upon its creation, alongside the founder New United Carolinas, Karteria, Frellor, North Italian Union, and Mordusville.

Over the course of their residency, Sistonia began to express an interest in public administration and politics. On April 19, 2020, they were appointed by President The Anarchist Communist as the third President pro Tempore of the General Assembly, succeeding Nordic States of Europe. They then went on to become the next and current President of the General Assembly, winning the June election with 17 votes to the runner-up's 9.

Assembly Award (de facto)

The **Order of Consensus** (OCS) is a distinction conferred by the President of the General Assembly to citizens of the New West Indies who exhibit an excellence in General Assembly affairs. The honor is the only legislative distinction and highest of the two legislative honors (the other being the Assembly Award). Three citizens have been inducted into the Order of Consensus. These conferees include the Founder, a former President of the General Assembly, and the current Chief Justice.

## History

A distinction honoring legislative achievements was first proposed by Celestiam in the General Assembly chamber with their first draft of what would become General Assembly Resolution 024 on October 24, 2019. Following extensive drafting, the resolution was submitted on December 13, 2019. The resolution was passed into law with unanimous support on January 1, 2020, and thus, the Order of Consensus was established.

The first inductee of the Order was Achipel, who was conferred the distinction on January 10, 2020 by President Reno Sheriffs Department. In total, three citizens have been inducted into the Order.

## Appearance

The Order of Consensus is made of a symmetrical cross with a green circle in the middle, dangling from a light green neck ribbon.

## Presentation

An induction into the Order of Consensus is presented by the incumbent President either in an announcement in the #honors channel on Discord and/or through an on-site dispatch.

## Authority and Privileges

Any inductee of the Order of Consensus is bestowed a corresponding Discord role with a light green color that reflects the medal of the Order. An inductee is also able to use the medal where they please, and their official title may include "OCS" following their name to reflect the honor.

### By Achipel

Upon reviewing the recently enacted Executive Decree, I'd like to make the following statement:

As I have explained to Karteria via DM, he currently has no legally explicitly established jurisdiction over the rules and structure that constitute our server. There is no law explicitly stating the powers all government officials have over the Discord server, they were granted to the relevant roles as I saw fit upon creating this server. Such a law should (1) establish the powers each individual role for each government official has on our server, and (2) create these legally binding rules thereafter.

In my opinion, such a law creating legally binding rules within the Discord server has to come from the General Assembly. This is why I, as Founder of the NWI and therefore wielding veto power over the decisions made by the Secretariat - which the SecGen is part of - (see §23 of the Constitution), hereby request to interpose my veto against the enacted decree.

The Discord Regulation draft published by Karteria should be edited and completed to be able to be officially submitted to the GA President, and then be voted on by the members of the General Assembly. To clarify, all rules that are currently in effect on our region's Discord server are based on existing resolutions, mainly §08 of the Constitution and GAR#22.
Secretary of Administration

Banner of the Department of Administration

Incumbent | Gallaton | Since July 1, 2021

The **Secretary of Administration** (SA) is the head of the Department of Administration, the New West Indies executive department tasked with maintaining government documents and resources. Most important of those resources is the Constitution, which must be updated whenever amended by the General Assembly.

The position was created on March 21, 2018, following the enactment of the Constitution. However, the position, like the rest of the Secretariat, was coopted by the Founder until the first Secretary-General elections were held in June 2018. Following the election of Canilu to Secretary-General, Roussillon was inaugurated as the first Secretary of Administration on July 1, 2018.

The current Secretary of Administration is Gallaton, having served since July 1, 2018 under Secretary-General Central Birdland.
