[The Military of Ethan Foley]

Hello members of Kennan- I am Ethan Foley (Vinco), the current WA Delegate of Kennan. I will not make this a huge speech that explains why everyone else is the wrong choice, but rather, why I am the right choice for WA Delegate. When I first became delegate last term, I did a lot of good for the region.

I created the "Poll of the Week" which helped me represent what members of Kennan wanted for the region, and not necessarily what I wanted.

I started making the "Weekly Address" which explained the current events that were happening in Kennan, which updated everyone about what was going on.

I made everyone the Secretary of what they wanted to be, and based on how well they did their job.

I have enforced the laws of Kennan strictly, and ensure that no one violates them without consequence.

Since I became delegate, I've created the KRP which has effectively boosted Kennan's population by around 20%.

Although I have not been delegate the longest (second longest), I am one of the most experienced members in Kennan, and I know exactly what needs to get done, and when to do it. I've been delegate since the previous term, and nations like Samukan (founder and candidate) have even congratulated me on my good work as delegate. I'm Ethan Foley (Vinco), and I am running for WA Delegate. Thank you.

Candidate

[Sandwich Territories]

Hello Kennan. I do believe I am the correct choice for the position, and I will tell you why.

- I have been the delegate the longest in Kennan, meaning that I have the most experience with the position.

- My views are very neutral. I know that I am one of the most neutral people in Kennan, meaning that everyone will be heard and considered without any bias (for or against). This is very important, as otherwise, some opinions might not be heard as well as others, or even heard at all.

- I am also very active in the NS community. I have established good, even great relations with other regions, such as The South Pacific. I have never had any issues with any nation.

- I am one of the most experienced members in Kennan.

- I also have a very "no-nonsense" policy on those who cause trouble in Kennan. Whether I am Delegate or not, I still enforce this policy on all who cause issues in Kennan intentionally.

- When it comes down to the secretaries, I will do my best to pick the people who will do the job best, regardless of differences in ideologies and interests.

Thank you, have a happy holidays, and let the best candidate win.

[Samukan]

(Sorry for the tardiness, I was expecting to get this done earlier; stuff happened...)

Fellow nations of Kennan - let's cut to the chase. Why should you vote for Samukan? Because...

1. Because there needs to be some change in Kennan. While the system works primarily as it is, there must be change to give weaker and less influential nations the support they need to flourish in the international community.

2. Samukan is the founder of Kennan and one of its most active members, showing that it has much experience in Kennan in general.

3. Samukan has been the Secretary of Administration virtually the entire time the position has existed. We have proven that we are fully capable of organizing and maintaining Kennan.

4. Samukan has been a very active member of the international community, and while it has had trouble with other nations in the past, has been progressively better at diplomatic relationships with other nations as communication skills improve drastically.

Thank you for reading this brief introduction to our candidacy; remember to vote Samukan.

Hello citizens of the region of Kennan. I have decided to run as your WA delegate for a few reasons. Many of these highlight flaws in our system as well, and the ease of corruption that has seeped over our leaders.

Ethan Foley(Vinco) has removed secretaries and replaced them with those closest to him, and he has placed only his allies into power making any powerful opposition nearly impossible.

I have been at odds with the region before, but came to diplomacy to solve issues. A WA delegate should be open to democracy and free to meet terms of nonbelligerent opponents.

I believe it is time that someone out of the circle of power rose to a high position, someone who isn't consumed by their own demands.

Now that i have highlighted the flaws in the current delegate let me say this about myself-

Pantorrum has reached an era of great stability, while nations such as Ethan Foley continue to work against human rights of others ordered by the World Assembly. Pantorrum meets human right quota and provides adequate means of life to all our citizens.

Ethan Foley has committed acts of war against every single nation, attempting to hack in and view sensitive military information. Pantorrum has never acted against any nation in the region without just cause. Ethan Foley states he needs no cause.

I would ensure that new faces were put into power, and spread activity to the regions less heard nations. Many good nations would remain in power, but I do believe that corruption needs to be removed and the spoil system needs to be uprooted and disposed of.

Vote for Pantorrum and end the shady corruption.

[Autocratic New Helghan]

Power.

Something once given to the wrong person, it is abused for their own good and not for the betterment as a whole.

My opponents are well respected nations, given their experience and loyalty to Kennan they have more influence then I. But i look past this. I see renovation. I see a growing region that has potential. Though, who is putting that potential to use? I don't see our current delegate sponsoring growth. I don't see him sponsoring betterment. I see him sponsoring war. Sponsering power for HIMSELF. On his recruitment ad he talks about what he did.
He gave seats of power to people.
He accomplished in creating groups.
Made maps
Created a poll

Let's look at what he achieved. If you notice, the secretaries are people in position to favor him. Created a poll. I myself used this poll and no change followed. He lies to you and pretends to care. I will demolish this so called 'poll' and allow any nation to message me personally and I will respond to your issues within a 24 hour time span. He made the map to HIS liking. Showing pride in his territorial gain. But not for the happiness of the other nations residing in this region. I will construct a NEW map to everyone's satisfaction. Adding detailed maps of everyone's country by request. Putting in cities, roads, gurus and anything you ask. I will renovate the map to everyone's liking.

This is corruption. Not a good delegate.

As delegate I will treat all equal. Despite our history and my nations history of violence. But to ensure my survival as a nation I have made decisions that effect my people as a WHOLE. Not for the better good of ONE person. I know all nations promise things for Kennan. They promise that they will do a specific thing that will either upset you or make you satisfied.

This is what i will not promise, but this is what i will do.

For every good idea my opponents throw out there I will do it ten fold more. I will focus on KENNAN. Not my nation or any others. Growth of KENNAN will be my goal. This will become my own very dream. My strength does not rest within myself. My strength resides in the deciders of this region. The ones that will make the decision to choose who will lead this great region that could be greater.

I will not tell you to vote for me like my fellow opponents. You decide what's the best decision.

Power.

Something held in a large amount but distributed equally throughout a group, can accomplish so many great things.
