Once upon a star supernova, twenty six legendary cards descended from our tall card tower. Hooray!
Our newfound love Testlandia, wore splendid magenta fursuit, specifically commissioned to contain BEES! It buzzed through rainbow, over walls yonder, and into the sky. At midnight, Gerald Ford erupted from his volcanic lair, overflowing with meritorious service. Both chambers reloaded their legislative shotguns while removing glistering shirts, heated by lava undershirts. Ford devoured the 535 imperial guards, while copper prices skyrocketed, and legislation stalled.

Meanwhile, the legendary crocodile, Crocodile Irwin, initiated CPR for the legislature of New Hartoria. Mercifully, HS wrote textwalls of nonsense which follows:
"Spinning crickets mercifully inundate Equestria"

Obviously, this sucked. Mercifully, Andraste (Jesus Ronaldo) smote tobacco from a Tevinter corpse. Aromatic! It smelled. Unclear directions confounded the manufacturing executives, who decided there was no better fate than death. Opportunistically, they provided Andraste more timeshares filled 37% of the time by Tevinter, but why? For this, the ultimate price of three dollars and forty seven cents must be paid.

It started, as many things do, with a book.

Emma sat balanced on a chair with only two legs touching the ground, idly rocking back and forth as she turned the pages in a novel. As she sat, oblivious to the world, time skipped past as night became day and the sun rose in the distance. Finally, a ray of light came through the window, catching her in the face, jolting her out of the reverie that she had slipped into over the past hours. It was time. She carefully bookmarked her page, set the book down on the end table, and let all four chair legs come into contact with the ground. Dashing out of her room, she slipped on a pair of sturdy boots, threw on a jacket, and went outside, ready to face the day.

Coffee would be the first order of business, she decided and then onwards to a walk in the forest, as it was quite pretty outside. The maple leaves had turned a beautiful shade of red, and the air was crisp. It would be a wonderful day.

[The banning of Non-Resident nations shall not require public reporting.]

You Have No Power Here

Whereas RRS 3 states that ejection notices must be publicly reported for Residents;
Whereas it is unclear if they must be published for banning non-residents;
Whereas embassy collector spam is dumb and we hate it;
Therefore enacts the following amendment:

RRS 3. The reasoning for all ejections of Residents must be publicly reported by the responsible party, and the ejected nation may appeal the ejection by soliciting a review to the Regional Council.

• An appeal vote must be concluded within seven days or with all Councillors having voted.
• An appeal vote is considered approved if it has less than two Against votes.
• The banning of Non-Resident nations shall not require public reporting.

I will second this proposal so that it can go to vote very speedily. We must feed the legislation beasts or they shall come for our printer paper.

[however they are not prevented from running for more than one position for which they are eligible in the same election.]

You Can Only Occupy One Seat In Both Musical Chairs And Refugia

PREAMBLE: Noticing that there is no provision for the event of a candidate running for multiple Councillor positions within Refugia;
Impressed by Lethodus' initiative in this area with their recent campaign Dax for Councillor of All Things;
Seeking clarity should this phenomenon occur again in future and a candidate should win in multiple seats;
Therefore enacts the following amendment:

13. Elections will consist of a one week candidacy period where an eligible Member State may declare their intent to stand for office, a one week voting period where all Member States may vote for their desired candidate, and a one week transition period to acclimate the incoming Councillor with their roles and responsibilities. Terms officially begin the 22^nd day of February, June, and October.

a. Candidacy declarations must be given in one or more easily accessible areas as designated by the Arch-Administrator.
b. Residents must qualify as Member States as defined in RRS 4 to be eligible for candidacy.
c. Member States are prohibited from occupying more than one seat at any given time or occupying the same Council seat more than two times consecutively, however they are not prevented from running for more than one position for which they are eligible in the same election.
d. In the event of more than two valid candidates for a single seat, instant run-off voting will determine the winner, where candidates are ranked by preference on the ballot and eliminated by fewest votes during each round of ballot counting.
e. The election for each seat is resolved in favour of the candidate with the most votes at the final round of ballot counting.
f. In the case of a candidate running for multiple positions and winning more than one of these elections, their position will be decided as follows:
i. If one of the seats won by the Member State had only one candidate and the other(s) had multiple, the Member State that ran for multiple positions is automatically selected for the seat in which they were the sole candidate, with the other seat(s) going to the runner(s)-up.
ii. If the winning Member State was the sole candidate for all positions to which they were elected, or if there were multiple candidates for all positions to which they were elected, they shall declare a preference for the seat they would like to take, and the other seat(s) shall go to the runner(s)-up.
iii. Should the winning Member State fail to declare a preference for one of their successful seats within 3 days of the conclusion of the election, the Arch-Administrator may call a vote of the region to decide which seat they would prefer to see the Member State occupying.
g. In the event of unexpected absences or positions that cannot be filled, the Arch-Administrator may act in that position's capacity, or appoint an individual who may serve in that position's capacity until the following election produces a regular appointment.

Full, complete, and unequivocal support.

A polymer produced by a living organism is called a biopolymer. There are four major classes of biopolymers: (1) polysaccharides, (2) polypeptides, (3) polynucleotides, and (4) fatty acids. Which polymers are composed of amino acids? A polypeptide is an unbranched chain of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The peptide bond links the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amine group of the next amino acid to form an amide. What are peptides? Short polypeptides may be named based on the number of monomeric amino acids that comprise them. For instance, a dipeptide is a peptide consisting of two amino acids sub-units, a tripeptide is a peptide comprised of three amino acid sub-units, and tetrapeptide is a peptide comprised of four amino acid sub-units.

I would propose the following alterations to clause F (removals in red and struck out, additions in green):

f. In the case of a candidate running for multiple positions and winning more than one of these elections, their position will be decided as follows:
i. Where one of these seats had only one candidate and the other(s) had multiple, the Member State which ran for multiple positions will automatically be selected for the seat for which they were the sole candidate, with the other seat(s) going to the runner(s)-up.
ii. Where the winning Member State was either the sole candidate for all positions to which they were elected, or where there were multiple candidates for all positions to which they were elected, they may declare a preference for the seat they would like to take, with the other seat(s) going either to the runner(s)-up; or in the case of no other candidate, falling under the domain of the Arch-Administrator to act in that seat's capacity or make an appointment to it as they see fit.
iii. Where the winning Member State fails to declare a preference for one of their successful seats within 3 days of the results, the Arch-Administrator may call a vote for the region to decide which seat they would prefer to see the Member State occupying.

• Where If one of these seats won by the Member State had only one candidate and the other(s) had multiple, the Member State which that ran for multiple positions will is automatically be selected for the seat for in which they were the sole candidate, with the other seat(s) going to the runner(s)-up.
• Where If the winning Member State was either the sole candidate for all positions to which they were elected, or where if there were multiple candidates for all positions to which they were elected, they may shall declare a preference for the seat they would like to take, with the other seat(s) going either to the runner(s)-up; and the other seat(s) shall go to the runner(s)-up. or in the case of no other candidate, falling under the domain of the Arch-Administrator to act in that seat's capacity or make an appointment to it as they see fit.
• Where Should the winning Member State fails to declare a preference for one of their successful seats within 3 days of the results conclusion of the election, the Arch-Administrator may call a vote for of the region to decide which seat they would prefer to see the Member State occupying.

I like this, and am happy to second.
