Note: This handbook covers The North Pacific's Security Council, the body charged with the region's security. If you're looking for information on the World Assembly's Security Council, start with this subforum instead.

Introduction to the Security Council

The Security Council exists to serve The North Pacific, and to ensure that democracy will always reign in the region. The Security Council consists of trusted members of The North Pacific, with high endorsement counts and high regional influence levels. These nations protect the region against external threats, secure the WA Delegate position in periods of instability, and will enforce a recall of the delegate should such a vote be successful. The Security Council is chaired by the Vice Delegate, a position elected for 4-month terms.

To support regional security, we ask that all WA nations please endorse the following nations:

Responsibilities of the Security Council

Members of the Security Council are responsible for maintaining high endorsement and influence counts. However, protecting regional security can seem like quite a nebulous mandate, so here are some more specific responsibilities of the Security Council.

~ Stabilizing the region in times of crisis.

This is the primary responsibility of the Security Council, along with preventing crises before they occur. During a Delegate emergency, attack, or other regional security crisis, the Security Council is responsible for securing the region and ensuring the continuation of democracy.

~ Maintaining the ingame Delegate position.

Read more

The Security Council is charged with overseeing Delegate transitions, enforcing Delegate recalls, and assuming a leadership role in the event of a rogue Delegacy.

~ Monitoring regional endorsement levels.

Read more

To protect the Delegacy from rogue elements and accidental changes, the Security Council works with Vice Delegate PotatoFarmers to monitor regional endorsement levels and ensure that no unauthorized nation strays too close to taking the ingame Delegate position. If a nation does stray too close, the Security Council will contact them regarding their endorsement count and steps to take to address the issue. As of writing, nations can exceed roughly 900 endorsements before being contacted by the Security Council.

~ Monitoring for potential security threats.

Read more

The Security Council works alongside the Vice Delegate to identify potential threats to the region's stability, and to ensure that such threats are appropriately handled. Potential security risks can be internal or foreign in nature, and are typically discussed with the Delegate as well.

~ Advising the Vice Delegate regarding citizenship applicants.

Read more

The Vice Delegate is responsible for evaluating citizenship applicants on security grounds. Citizenship applicants with potentially problematic backgrounds are discussed with the Security Council, and may end up being rejected on security grounds. The Security Council may also pass standing recommendations regarding specific individuals.

~ Managing the World Assembly Development Program.

The Security Council oversees the region?s WADP, implements improvements, and hosts endorsement-related events. For more information on the WADP, consult this dispatch.

Weekly Updates

To keep the region informed on what the Security Council has been doing, Vice Delegate Chipoli provides a weekly update every Sunday. The update is posted on both the regional message board and the regional forum and is an excellent opportunity for all nations to ask their questions about the Security Council.

This dispatch is NOT updated automatically. I manually maintain this information, so if you find anything to be outdated then please do let me know. Thanks!
