## from the album Ain't It Grand Boys: A Collection of Unissued Gems

### Producer

Columbia/Sony Legacy

**The Wren Song**, also known as **The Wran Song**, was a song that was created and performed by the Clancy Brothers, an Irish folk band from 1956 to 1998. The latest version was included in their 1995 album *Ain't It Grand Boys: A Collection of Unissued Gems* and was based on the original version recorded by Liam Clancy in 1955.

The song was the Regional Anthem of Conifer until their dissolution and became an honored song of the New West Indies on April 5th, 2020 following the Treaty of Conservation.

## Lyrics

The wren, the wren, the king of all birds

on St. Stephen's Day got caught in the furze

So it’s up with the kettle and down with the pan

give us a penny to burry the wren

As I was gone to Killenaule

I met the wren upon the wall

I upped with me wattle and knocked him down

and brought him into Carrick town

Little bird, little bird, where is your nest?

'Tis in the bush that I love best

It’s in the tree, the holly tree

where all the boys do follow me

We followed the wren three miles or more

three miles or more, three miles or more

We followed the wren three miles or more

at six o'clock in the morning

I have a little box under me arm

under me arm, under me arm

I have a little box under me arm

a penny or tuppence'll do it no harm

Mrs. O’Gill is a very good woman

a very good woman, a very good woman

Mrs. O’Gill is a very good woman

she gave us a penny to bury the wren

The Pixel Prairie

**The Pixel Prairie** is a private Discord station in the New West Indies. The station is owned and operated by Funky Goats, the current Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the region. The broadcasting focuses on a genre called "pixel art," which is a form of digital art where images are wittled down to small points called pixels.

The station first aired on September 5th, 2020 to an engaged audience. It marks the first time that a Coniferan Remnant has created and operated a Discord Station.

## History

**The Pixel Prairie** had its first post on September 5th, 2020. It started off with a title logo for the station and a host of quips and puns.

*This section deals with an ongoing event.*

## Content

The pixel art published in Pixel Prairie is created by Funky Goats or shared from other sources, such as youtube videos or photos of video games. The broadcaster has also shared tools for others to create pixel art themselves.

Many of the pieces created by Funky Goats depict greenery and goat-like images, harkening back to their persona and Coniferan roots.

## Reception

The station has received large praise for its content. The creation and posts thereof receive mostly positive reviews.

Order of Roleplaying

**Volirum**, also informally known as **Vol**, is a New West Indies statesman, politician, and roleplayer. They were one of the first citizens to join the New West Indies when they entered on May 4, 2018.

Vol maintains extensive experience in public administration and politics. They were the second Secretary-General, inaugurated on January 17, 2019. They served for one term and did not seek reelection, being succeeded by Karteria. Volirum soon thereafter served as the region's first Public Attorney.

They ran in multiple elections, including for President of the General Assembly, Secretary-General (winning once), and Judiciary Committee Chair.
Titans: Separation of Powers

Respectfully, the honourable Secretary-General misinterprets enforcement. No one proposed giving enforcement authority to the GA. To label regulation as enforcement is a ludicrous conflation of how a government is intended to work. What my honourable friend suggests is akin to a society with no control over its police. I also struggle to find how it at all infringes the fundamental purpose of the Secretariat to legislate it's structure. It does not undermine the ability of the Secretariat to do its job because it is fundamentally the General Assembly that creates its job. The GA is not enforcing it's own legislation by dictating its structure. It can't enforce anything. The GA can write laws, that's it. No one in the GA has the ability to do anything beyond that (except the President, but that's irrelevant to the point). The Secretariat then executes those laws. The suggestion that any attempt at regulating that execution amounts to tangible enforcement and is a power grab is absurd. Nor is it a violation of the separation of powers for the GA to tell the Secretariat what to do. That's how laws work.

And, for an IRL example of this, I will point to the Revenue Act of 1862, which creates "an office… in the Treasury Department to be called the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue." Now, that Treasury department was also enacted by Congress, way back in 1789: "That there shall be a Department of Treasury, in which shall be the following officers, namely: a Secretary of the Treasury, to be deemed head of the department; a Comptroller, an Auditor, a Treasurer, a Register, and an Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, which assistant shall be appointed by the said Secretary."

Note how they didn't say "the government is in charge of taxes and they will figure it out."

I counter the Secretary's incorrect assertion that regulation violates the separation of powers with an assertion of my own, that prohibiting regulation violates the separation by affording the Secretariat unchecked legislative authority. If the General Assembly is only allowed to define the ends and not the means, then it cannot legislate freely. That power is usurped by the executive. If the Secretariat can do whatever it wants unless expressly prohibited by only the Constitution, it is afforded authority grossly in excess of any reasonable balance.

**Leo**, also known as **Deugaw's Doggo** and **Pirate Doggo**, is a NWI Celebrity and the pet of NWI Citizen Mordusville. First presented to the New West Indies in early 2020 as part of the NWI Pet Collection and a star on The Daily Aww, Leo quickly became a celebrity in the Indies.

Leo is recognisable by his white color, relative small size compared to Louie, and especially his half shut eye, presumably due to previous mistreatment, that has earned him the nickname of Pirate Doggo.

Leo is presumably a mixed Golden Retriever and German Shepherd. Bing's dog recognition algorithm claims he is a Swiss Shepherd, which is Fake News. He is born at an unknown date thought to be in the second half of the year 2019, and once belonged to a family that reportedly mistreated him and made him live under a deck. Recovered by Deugaw's family in late 2019, Leo was cared for and grew in a loving home.

Leo's career as a NWI Celebrity started when he appeared on the front page of the Daily Aww. Slowly, Leo got his own show, and is known to appear when New West Indians need moral support.

Leo is known for regularly a sports shirt with the number 5, a passion for rolling himself in the mud (especially after baths), and a ridiculously high pitched bark. Leo is friends with the less famous but no less loved Louie, a Golden retriever, and Gizmo, a cat.

Progressive Party

"For a Better and Brighter Future"

The **Progressive Party**(PRO) was a centre-left regional political party in the New West Indies that lasted from July 7, 2019 to December 28, 2019. It was founded—and later disbanded—by then Secretary-General Karteria. The party's aim was to increase regional growth, develop balanced government oversight, promote civil rights, and make the community sustainable.

At the height of its power, the party had upwards of 17 members, including many prominent statesmen.

## Achievements

The party boasted multiple achievements during its tenure. A majority of General Assembly authors (besides Achipel and PotaTown) were Progressives at the time, and they jointly passed many bipartisan resolutions in the legislature. These resolutions included the establishment of roleplay codes, the High Court, impeachment proceedings, and the Criminal Code.

## Former Members

The Progressive Party had many high-profile members on its roster.

Filibuster's Pub & Grill

Pub and Grill

**Filibuster's** **Pub and Grill**, or **Filibuster's** for short, is a bar and grill dedicated to involved lawmakers in the General Assembly. It is located across the street from the General Assembly building on Caribbean Avenue.

The pub was established by the 7th President, Reno Sheriffs Department, as an unofficial, private initiative to relax the spirits of lawmakers and let them unwind after a difficult day of legislating.

## Drink Menu

 Karterian Kocktail
 Celestiam Celestial
 Titanic Titan
 Founding Daddy

 Cymiopolitan

## Food

Pizza, meat sticks, and limes are prevalent, though those items are normally served with drinks. People who order food on their own are given a strange look or two. One customer, Gelezia, keeps requesting that they be allowed to order "only napkins."

## Controversies

The founder and owner, Reno Sheriffs Department, has been the center of many scandals involving his bar. The foremost controversy was his insistence that Filibuster's "exists outside of the law," and therefore, he shouldn't have to pay General Assembly mandated property taxes. Indeed, many patrons of the historic bar feel that Reno may have lost his mind; he stays secluded most of the time, rambling about the latest "sarcastic" drink order and shaking his fist at the government.

Many first-time attenders of the bar are appalled at the lack of safety regulations (or any regulations at all), as bar brawls are frequent, and lost limbs at the axe-throwing station are more common than one would think.

Regional Message Board

*Our community needs more information on this page! Can you help out? Click here to add more.*
The **Regional Message Board** (RMB) is the primary public method of communication within a region on NationStates. Every nation in a region can post on that region's message board; nations from other regions can also post there (given proper permissions). Posts can be liked, quoted, or "suppressed" by other nations depending on the circumstances.

In the New West Indies, the regional message board most notably hosts the current roleplay. During election cycles, candidates often post links to their campaigns and brief speeches outlining their platforms. Other nations make quick chit and chats or welcome new nations to the region on the message board.

Monarquia Dual (country)

Monarquia Dual is a citizen of long standing with the New West Indies.

Joining the New West Indies ca. 2019 as Franco Real, Monarquia Dual quickly became known for his conservative views. After initial tensions due to a military dispatch that was too great in force to be well-balanced, Monarquia Dual began roleplaying with the New West Indies and eventually became a valued veteran member of the region, interacting primarily with Kronshtadt, Karteria, and Cymiopolis. Following Karteria's creation of a leftist party within New West Indies political structure, Kronshtadt and Monarquia Dual formed a conservative party as minority opposition. A surprising number of nations joined this party which took part in issues of regional import when Roussillon was being impeached from his office due to inactivity from his daily life. The conservative party took Roussillon's part while the leftist party wished for his impeachment.

A bare majority forced Roussillon out of office and he joined the conservative party. Thereafter, the parties were curtailed because of their animosity which was destabilizing the region and Kronshtadt left NationStates on hiatus. Monarquia Dual also took a hiatus from NationStates during this time but remained on the New West Indies Discord server as an observer. Under pressure from his friends, he created Monarquia Dual and claimed new land including Portugal, where he had spent time during his sabbatical from NationStates.

In 2021, Monarquia Dual lost access to his Discord account.

Hall of Fame

## Conditions

### Nominator

Jointly: Secretary-General, Chief Justice, and President of the General Assembly

### Eligibility

Citizenship in good standing for at least 6 months

### Conferred for

(de facto) exceptional accomplishments above the standard for distinctions.

## Precedence

### Next (Lower)

Order of the New West Indies

**The New West Indies Hall of Fame**, also known as the **Hall of Fame**, is an honour bestowed upon citizens and former citizens of the New West Indies, and is understood as the highest honour attainable in the Region. Placed above distinctions in the order of precedence, the Hall of Fame can be best described as a honorific ceremony. Whereas the minimal honour a Hall of Fame inductee is entitled to is a speech by the Secretary-General and a dispatch, it is custom for Hall of Fame inductions to feature a much grander ceremony organised by the Executive and comprising several speeches, games, and the flying of a specially redesigned flag. Inductees to the Hall of Fame are entitled to carry the style **The Illustrious**.

Inductions to the Hall of Fame are rare events, in part caused by the heightened prestige of this honour. Furthermore the Hall of Fame has a more complex nomination process that involves a joint nomination by the Secretary-General, the Chief Justice, and the President of the General Assembly. The nomination must be approved by the Founder. There is a statutory limitation of no more than one nomination a month, though the de facto nomination rate is much lower. The Secretary-General is tasked with presenting the Honour and delivering an induction speech.

There is a single inductee in the Hall of Fame, the Illustrious Karteria, who was elevated as its first inductee in August 2020. At the time of induction, they had served two terms as Secretary-General, one term as Secretary of Administration, and were the incumbent Region's Attorney.
The Daily Aww

A typical post on The Daily Aww (August 1, 2020)

**The Daily Aww**, currently known as "**More Than Daily Aww**," is a New West Indies Discord station. It is a privately-owned channel owned and operated by Frellor and previously co-hosted by Nordic States of Europe. The station's primary purpose is to share photos of cute animals, particularly cats, that are usually in awkward and carefree situations.

First airing on January 14th, 2020, is it the third oldest and second longest running channel after Faux News.

## History

### **Creation**

The Daily Aww was created under the authority of Executive Decree 010. The Decree authorized the creation of a channel, effectively controlled by one citizen, for the purposes of expression in a variety of pursuits.

### **Appointing a Co-Host**

Each station "anchor" – the owner and host of the station – may also select "co-hosts" at their leisure, barring a few qualifications. The Daily Aww was the first station to add a co-host to its lineup. On February 11th, 2020, Nordic States of Europe became the station's co-host, publishing cat photos on a regular basis alongside the main host, Frellor. Eventually, Nordic would effectively resign from their co-host position when they ceased to exist.

## Content

The Daily Aww, hence the name, focuses on publishing photos of small domesticated animals – namely cats – or anything contemporarily considered cute. Considering the similar nature of many of the cats, it is probable that the cats most published are those of the host and co-host.

Every animal has a pseudo-latin designation related to their species, and most of the time they are shown in awkward or comedic situations as described by the host. There is typically a quip near the end of the post to emphasize the weirdness or cuteness of whatever the animal is doing at the time.

## Reception

The public has largely approved of the station's activities as shown by the positive reactions for almost every photo. With the wide support for adding the public sector channel #positivity-parlor, it appears that the citizenry has significant demand for uplifting content, public or private.

On July 27th, 2020, Frellor was inducted into Order of Information by Secretary-General Celestiam for proficient work in private media. In the induction speech, the Secretary-General noted that Frellor and The Daily Aww is largely "responsible for [the] success" of private broadcasting "that contributed in enrichening [sic] our community to previously unattainable levels." Moreover, the station provided "positive externalities" for "for each individual reader and for the Indies at large."

Konstantin Drozdovsky

**Konstantin Drozdovsky** (Cykoslevine: Константин Дроздовский trl. Konstantin Drozdovskiy) was a revolutionary leader during the September Coup who later served as a general in the Cykoslevine Army under Nikolai Voroshilov before he died of a fatal bullet wound during the Zapadoslav Wars.

Drozdovsky is most known for his "8th Officers Rifle Regiment", which is better known as the Drozdovsky Regiment, one of the elite units of the now-Zapadoslav armed forces.
Order of the Silver Rye

The **Most Venerable Order of the Silver Rye of Morvya**, more simply referred to as **The Order of the Silver Rye**, is a Cykoslevine order of merit awarded to any person, foreign or domestic, who has served Cykoslevinia (or Zapadoslavia) and the government has deemed worthy of such an award.

Legally, there is no specific guidelines to who the order can be awarded to and why, so theoretically, anyone could be awarded the order if they did any number of things beneficial to the state.

### List of Order holders

* Nikolai Kalaymanov, Revolutionary and Politician
* Demid Tutiakov, Weapon Designer
* Anton Kerensky, Politician
* Nikolai Voroshilov, Politician
* Sophie Kipoŭski, Tsarina of Ruthinya

AT-44

The **Tutiakov Automatic Model 1944** (Cykoslevine and Volossiyan: Тютяков Автомат 1994г trl. Tyutyakov Avtomat 1944g, Ruthin: Туцякоў Аўтамат 1994г trl. Tuciakoŭ Aŭtamat 1994h, literally "Tutiakov's Automatic Gun") usually referred to as the **AT-44** (Cykoslevine Volossiyan, and Ruthin: AT-94, trl. AT-44) is a select-fire assault rifle developed and designed by Demid Tutiakov.

The AK-74 is chambered for the 7.62 Keringrad and has several improvements over older Tutiakov assault rifles. These improvements were primarily the result of converting the rifle from the intermediate-caliber high-velocity 5.45×39mm cartridge to the Keringrad. Compared with older rifles, the AT-44 has a better effective range, firing accuracy (a main development goal), and reliability. The AT-44 and older Tutiakov rifles share an approximate 50% parts commonality (interchangeable most often are pins, springs and screws).

Blue

**Nikolai Konstantinovich Kalaymanov** (Cykoslevine: Николай Константинович Калайманов trl. Nikolay Konstantinovich Kalaymanov) was a Revolutionary famed with leading the September Coup and later being the first Premier of the Socialist Federal Republic of Cykoslevinia.

Born to a lower-class family in Kumenskoye, Nikolai spent most of his days either attending a less-than-decent public school or working in his father's workshop. When Nikolai was 15, he began to read philosophical books and pamphlets, eventually coming into contact with an underground communist group known as the "Revolutionary Alliance." It was during this time he developed his ideology, Kalaymanism.

In 1944, Nikolai led the September Coup (or Cykoslevine Revolution) against the Tsarist government, and was elected Premier of the Cykoslevine SFR soon after. Nikolai was responsible for the mass industrialization of Cykoslevinia and forging the international ties that would later lead to the formation of Zapadoslavia.

Nikolai has three children. Konstantin, Catherine, and Tess. Tess Kalaymanov would go on to become the second Premier and first Tsarina.

Nikolai died of a heart attack on the 7th of April, 2003, at the age of 87.
Celestiam: Concerns about GAR21

Shamelessly gravedigging here, yet since I believe the the draft resolution "Establishment of a Judicial System" is still at its drafting stages it is not out of order to continue commenting on it. If it is out of order, do call me out for it.
I have numbered my comments, not out of any sense of hierarchy, but simply for convenience when referring to them. Without further ado:

**[1] Absence of provision in the case of a Chief Justice's resignation.** §28 Whereas §28 lays out the procedure when a Chief Justice "ceases to exist", the bill currently does not allow the General Assembly to conduct a special election if the Chief Justice resigns from office or is otherwise incapacitated in a way other than cessation to exist. Since resignation is not the only way the office could end up vacant (leaving the region hereby renouncing citizenship, ban or deposition following a lawful trial in which they would have recused themselves etc...), maybe the term "ceases to exist" should be replaced by a more general term to signify vacancy of the Office of the Chief Justice.

**[2] Unclarity as to the term duration of the Region's Attorney** II.A.i It is generally understood that the term of a delegate expires when the delegant's power expires as well. The most flagrant example is that of Secretaries. Appointed by the Secretary General, their term ends when the Secretary Generals' ends, for their power derives from the Secretary General. Yet, it appears that in this proposal the Region's Attorney is appointed by the Department of Interior (not the Secretary). And whereas the Secretary has a fixed term and can lose power, this is not the case of the Department. If the Department's power is continuous, so is its delegate's, the Regional Attorney, who knows no end to their term. Why not, after all, i can concieve this may have been done in an intentional and actually smart move.

However, there is no clause expliciting the removal of the Region's Attorney. It is not, to my knowledge, universally accepted that an appointer can dismiss an appointee. I derive this interpretation from the fact the Constitution finds the need to specify Secretaries serve at the Secretary-General's pleasure, who can dismiss them (cf §18, Constitution). As such, it is not obvious the Department of Interior can dismiss the Region's Attorney.

This combination means that the Region's Attorney essentially serves a life term. If this is the intention of the author it is alright, but I do doubt it is.

**[3] Term length of the Public Attorney** II.B same comment as above. Though here we could agree the Public Attorney's obligations would end upon closure of the trial proceedings, which doesn't seem to be explicited in the act. Unless there is intention to name people as permanent public attorneys of an individual, we ought to ensure that their tenure can come to end, either by agreeing the DoI can dismiss the attorney, or agreeing the attorney loses tenure when there is no more necessity for them to be.

1st Elite Corps

The **1st Elite Corps** (Cykoslevine: 1-й элитный корпус trl. 1-y elitnyy korpus) is a Zapadoslav military formation consisting of several elite rifle regiments and some armored units, most notably including the famed Drozdovsky Regiment. The Corps has a seasoned history, and is widely considered one of the most elite and effective military units in the world. The Corps falls under the command of Army Group Echo.
M11 Ruthin

The **Model 1911 Repeating Rifle** (Ruthin: Вінтоўка паўтаральная мадэль 1911 года trl. Vintoŭka paŭtaraĺnaja madeĺ 1911 hoda) or simply the **M11 Ruthin** (Ruthin: M11 Рутін trl. M11 Rutin, Cykoslevine: M11 Рутин, trl. M11 Rutin) was a lever-action repeating rifle developed originally by Severnoslavia as the Type 88 and licensed through Cykoslevinia to be produced by Ruthinya.

Originally chambered for the standard Severnoslav 5.56, the M11 was rechambered to use the 7.62 Keringrad, the standard of the Ruthin Imperial Army and later the Zapadoslav Armed Forces.

Several modifications were made to the M11 as compared to its Severnoslav counterpart, including the cartridge change, as well as the addition of new clip guides, a better grade of wood from Galisia, and Evorasteel metal. The better materials made the rifle more costly, however, and the rifle was a commodity for the few units who received them. Other rifles were sold to other nations to make up some of the cost. The M11 was also more modifiable than the Type 88.
Partisanen vom Amur

The **Partisans of the Amur** (Oberlitzische: Partisanen vom Amur) is a Litzische patriotic song originally written as the marching song for the Litzische revolutionary regiment known as the "Partisans of the Amur." after the Battle of Volochayevka.

The song has widespread acclaim, and has seen many translations, such as the Cykoslevine "Partisan's Song" and it's derivatives.

### Lyrics

Durchs Gebirge durch die Steppen

Zog unsre kühne Division

Hin zur Küste dieser weißen, heiß umstrittenen Bastion!

Hin zur Küste dieser weißen, heiß umstrittenen Bastion!

Rot vom Blut, wie unsere Fahne

War das Zeug. Doch treu dem Schwur

Stürmten wir die Eskadronen, Paritisanen vom Amur!

Stürmten wir die Eskadronen, Paritisanen vom Amur!

Kampf und Ruhm und bittere Jahre!

Ewig bleibt im Ohr der Klang

Das "Hurra" der Partisanen, als der Sturm auf Spassk gelang!

Das "Hurra" der Partisanen, als der Sturm auf Spassk gelang!

Klingt es auch wie eine Sage

Kann es doch kein Märchen sein:

Wolotschajewka ist genommen! Rotarmisten zogen ein!

Wolotschajewka ist genommen! Rotarmisten zogen ein!

Und so jagten wir das Pack zum Teufel

General und Ataman

Unser Feldzug fand sein Ende erst am Stillen Ozean!

Unser Feldzug fand sein Ende erst am Stillen Ozean!
Stillen Ocean

The **Silent Ocean** (Known in Litzische as the **Stillen Ozean** and in Cykoslevine as the **Tikhom Okeanu**) is a large body of water in the center of the continent of Illyrica. The ocean is mainly dominated by Zapadoslav trade and naval actions, but it is considered an international body of water, and other ships and nations conduct civilian and military operations in the sea.
Titans: In Favor of Executive Reform

To my colleagues:

I write to you today to express my support of my Right Honourable friend's proposal. While I retain my stance regarding stylistic edits, this proposal's edits, for the most part, are to clarify the Law while also fixing some of the weird idiosyncrasies of it. For example, under the current system, the term "Department of Defense and Information" is actually inaccurate; under current Constitutional wording, the *Secretary* is called the SDI, but the *department* is called the "Department of Defense" (not "Defense and Information"). This also makes GAR#11, in part, illegal for trying to rename it. This doesn't make a lot of sense now, does it?

Now, you all know that I am a staunch supporter of a stronger Legislature over my Right Honourable friend's preference of a stronger Executive. However, this proposal has nothing to do with that debate. Let's look at what this proposal actually does:

* Constitutionally excludes the Judiciary from serving in the Executive (already illegal, just not in the Constitution)
	+ Also, the President
* Removes references to political parties from the Constitution (which makes sense since we have a lot of independents and culturally we've moved away from that system)
* Says the Secretary-General can oversee the Secretariat (which they always have)
* Clarifies the roles of the various Executive Departments (simply codifying the status quo)
* Gives the Court the authority to review Executive Decrees (which, in fact, *increases* oversight of the Secretariat)
* Edits the Special Election procedure for the Secretary-General to be in line with the other branches.
* Clarifies how the Secretariat can create bureaus and hire/dismiss people (again, the status quo)
* Makes GAR#11 legal

Some of my colleagues in this Assembly have expressed concerns on Discord regarding the Executive's power. They argue for the election of the Secretaries, and say that the Secretary-General is vested with too much authority. While I agree with many of their ideas, I again reiterate that this proposal is barely relevant to that debate and largely just says what the status quo already is. While I do believe that our system should be changed to make the Secretariat more controlled by this Assembly, voting against this proposal will not enact such change. The way I see it, if this proposal passes, the only changes we'll see is more clarity in our existing Law. If my colleagues share in my opinion that existing Law must be changed, the way to do that is draft one's own proposal.

In conclusion, for the sake of fixing illegalities in our body of Law and making it more clear, please **vote in favor** of the proposal at vote of the Right Honourable Secretary-General Karteria, OCS.

Your Colleague,
The Learned Chief Justice Twelve Titans

Antiraspol

**Antiraspol** (Cykoslevine: Антираспол trl. Antiraspol) is a city in eastern Cykoslevinia and the home of the Antiraspol Arsenal, the primary weapon manufactory for the Zapadoslav Armed Forces.

Founded as a supply station for the city of Ostburg, Antiraspol soon became a military training ground and grew around the fort built there. Later, the city became home to one of only 4 Military Arsenals in Cykoslevinia, which are tasked with maintaining, manufacturing, and storing military arms and ammunition.
Indies Endorsement Program

The **Indies Endorsement Program** (IEP) was an initiative to encourage World Assembly members in the New West Indies to endorse each other as much as possible. Founded on May 25, 2020 by long-time Delegate Karteria, the program rewarded endorsements with card packages and honors in return for endorsements. The program also described the benefits of endorsing the Delegate specifically, which included increasing regional influence and voting power in the World Assembly.

While the program was moderately successful in increasing interest in endo-darting, the IEP was *de facto* shut down in early 2021 after a lack of promotion and enthusiasm.

## Participation

### Endorsements

Any member of the World Assembly was given automatic membership in the IEP. The main method of participation was endorsing other WA members as much as possible in order to access any rewards.

### Rewards

Endorsing others results in multiple prizes. Top endorsers received a special rank based on how many endorsements they bestowed, with the top earners endorsing every other member. Theoretically, this list was meant to celebrate the top endorsers and create some level of internal competition to drive endos. Moreover, endorsers received influence awards for their efforts. Fourth class was only for endorsing the Delegate, while First class was bestowed for those who endorsed every WA member in the region. Such awards were present ever since GAR24, though the IEP co-opted such awards for the time being.

Finally, top endorsers were given a variety of trading card prizes:

* 1st Class Influence Award recipients also win one Epic card and two New West Indies cards of their choice.
* 2nd Class Influence Award recipients also win two Ultra Rare cards and one New West Indies card of their choice.
* 3rd Class Influence Award recipients also win one Ultra Rare card and one Rare card.
* 4th Class Influence Award recipients also win one Rare card.

## Reception

The program generally received little criticism. Possibly as a result of the program, multiple WA members achieved the First Class Influence Award, including Frellor, Funky Goats, and others. However, considering a lack of culture surrounding trading cards, the program later floundered due to a lack of interest.

Nikolai Voroshilov

Voroshilov during the 2001 Naval Inspection

**Nikolai Arturovich Voroshilov** (Cykoslevine: Николай Артурович Ворошило trl. Nikolay Arturovich Voroshilov) was a Cykoslevine politician who served as Minister of Internal Affairs from 1944-1962 and Minister of Defense from 1970-2003.

Born to a military family in Cykoslevinia, Voroshilov was quick to be enlisted into the Academy of Evoras, a prominent military school. Voroshilov was taught as all Cykoslevine soldiers were, though he would take a keen interest in internal security, eventually enlisting in the Cykoslevine Royal Police.

During his time as a Royal Police Officer, Voroshilov encountered many communists and socialists during his work, and he began to lean more and more to the left. Later, he would meet Nikolai Kalaymanov, who finally swayed Voroshilov to the socialist cause. Then, during the September Coup, Voroshilov would take up arms against the Tsarist government, and would later be elected Minister of Internal Affairs in the new Republic.

Voroshilov died of a heart attack in 2022 at the age of 103, outliving all of his revolutionary comrades.

He was awarded the Order of the Silver Rye posthumously in 2023 and the Award for Military Merit in 2025.

Voroshilov was the father Artyom Voroshilov.
Volochayevka

**Volochayevka** (Varsovian: Волочаевка trl. Volochayevka) is a city in western Varsovia on the Amur River. The city was famed for the Battle of Volochayevka during the Litzische Revolution, from which the popular song Partisanen vom Amur originates. At one point, the city, as well as the entirety of Varsovia, was under the control of the Litzelands, then known as "Wolotschajewska". The city is the second-largest in Varsovia, just behind the capital, Varshava.
