*"The thing is that NIU is from Veneto so you can’t shit on Venice too much*"
- Cymiopolis, about North Italian Union
*The Honourable* **North Italian Union**, also known as **NIU**, is a New West Indian statesman and role-player. He served as the first President pro Tempore in New West Indies history and is currently a member of the Roleplay Committee. He is currently serving as the 4th Secretary of Defense and Information.

NIU is regarded as an important voice in the General Assembly and a quality role-player in the Future Tech canon, and he has proven resourceful in a variety of fields.

## Early Days

Following his entrance to the New West Indies and approval of citizenship on September 19th, 2019, North Italian Union quickly got involved in the role-play, mostly focusing on diplomacy and space.

Following a few months of writing and socializing, NIU joined the Discord on December 4th, 2019. It did not take long for him to socialize and become a well-known voice among the community.

## President pro Tempore

On December 19th, 2019, following the passage of General Assembly Resolution #23, North Italian Union was selected by President Reno Sheriffs Department to be the first President pro Tempore.

NIU's role was to serve as President of the General Assembly if the current President, Reno, was declared inactive or chose to resign. Neither of these situations occurred, though that did not prevent NIU from assisting the General Assembly through their high-profile position. He helped manage the legislative docket, assisted with GA drafting, assisted the President with approving resolutions for consideration, and helped manage the list of historical resolutions.

Following Reno's abdication of office due to term limits on March 31st, 2020, North Italian Union also abdicated the office of the pro Tempore on the same day.

## Roleplay Committee

North Italian Union was one of the founding members of the Roleplay Committee when it was established on January 24th, 2020. Since then, he has been an important cog in the development of the regional roleplay.

Within the committee, North Italian Union is a Herald, Historian, and Vexillologist. He helps manage the History Dispatch alongside New Spiedska and Cymiopolis, the official timeline for the Future-Tech canon.

## Secretary of Defense and Information

Both Volirum and Celestiam, two of the three candidates in the June Secretary-General Elections, selected North Italian Union as the Candidate for Secretary of Defense and Information.
