'''Lazarus''' is a [[feeder]] region, where nations are automatically sent to when [[resurrect]]ed.
 +
 +
==The beginning==
 +
Lazarus, originally had no founder, yet when upon delegacy one nation ejected ''all'' of the nations from the region, it was decided by the mods to have {{nation|Testlandia}}, a [[puppet]] of the [[NationStates]] [[moderator|administration]], as founder. Lazarus largely exists to serve its simple purpose as a repository of newly re-created nations. Lazarus' first organized government was under the delegacy of {{nation|Lies Incorporated}}, better known in world politics as {{nation|Sarda}}. Under his delegacy, the Lazarus government became active and began to show signs of great international potential. 
 +
 +
In the spring of 2004, Sarda was overthrown by {{nation|New Omnivaro}}.  This new government moved to a new forum, to which it recruited such famed nations as {{nation|Otm Shanks}}.  An extended period of government inactivity would leave the region in turmoil until the fall of 2004.
 +
 +
==Activity==
 +
 +
A rebellion began, and once again, Lazarus was active.  In late November, a newly founded nation, {{nation|Vesoul}}, would endorsement swap its way to the delegacy.  This delegacy, however, would be short lived, as Vesoul lost UN status due to rules violations.
 +
 +
Once again, Lies Incorporated claimed the delegacy, and with his new power he brought activity back to Lazarus.
 +
 +
==The Baribeau delegacy==
 +
 +
On December 17th 2004, Sarda stepped down from his position as delegate, entrusting it to {{nation|Baribeau}}.  Both remain active part of regional government, extending foreign ties, and working towards a re-write of the [[Lazarene Mandate]].
 +
 +
On January 5th, 2005, {{nation|Darnand}} was appointed interim Minister of Defence and Intelligence, and head of the [[Undead Hordes]].  Thanks to Darnand, the rest of the staff (TyaGE cannot be left out), and the people of Lazarus, there have been signifigant advancements in this ever-improving region.
 +
 +
On the 7th of March, Baribeau resigned his UN Delegacy, citing [[RL]] time restraints.  In order to encourage a dedicated, secure delegacy, he remained a regional UN member (keeping his endorsements), and encouraged a variety of citizens to campaign for the delegacy. {{nation|PeaceLoving Sex Fiends}} stepped up to the plate.

==Freedom==

At approximately 11pm (GMT), March 15th, 2005 Testlandia [[CTE|ceased to exist]]; he returned at about 2am (GMT), March 17th.
 +
 +
Baribeau's delegacy, marked by improved foreign relations, and an increase in forum activity, would conclude 8 days after his resignation.

On the 18th of March 2005, Testlandia was removed as founder (a little while after being resurrected), and Lazarus given the freedom it deserves, as warranted to any other feeder region. ''See: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=405840''
 +
 +
On the 16th of March 2005, PeaceLoving Sex Fiends became the regional UN Delegate, as having the second highest endorsement count when Baribeau was in power, he was seen as a potential delegate after Baribeau's resignation, and when contacted, agreed to take the role, and brought a promise of regional security and prosperity. However, after six days of his delegacy, he had not been active on the forums (and it was suspected that he decided not to use the forums altogether). He changed the [[World Factbook|World Factbook Entry]] (mostly regarding himself) without consulting any of the natives on prior notice, additionally, he used it as means to threaten to eject any nations holding half the endorsements of himself (which did not eventuate within his reign). Furthermore he had made some silly mistakes (in the [[WFE]], calling Max Barry "Max Berry", accusing him of condoning seriously grieving flaming.  All in all, PLSF was quite inactive (the first 4 days of his delegacy he did not even log in). Accordingly, considerable opposition was mustered against his delegacy, with the relatively new nation of {{nation|Lynnaka}} leading the opposition. As Lynnaka's endorsement count came to that of the delegate, several suspicious nation arrived from the same place at the same time, supported PLSF and posted abusive messages on the civil HQ.
 +
 +
==DEN invasion==
 +
 +
On the 24th of march, PLSF and the above mentioned suspicious nations (about five of them) were simultaneously [[UN multi|ejected from the UN for rule violations]], and Lazarus was without a delegate.
 +
 +
Lynnaka was left having the next highest endorsement count (30), with Baribeau close behind. Due to Lynnaka's new arrival in the region, and due to the freshly felled previous tyrannical delegacy, several nations withdrew their endorsements from Lynnaka, leaving Baribeau with a slightly greater endorsement count. Both Lynnaka's and Baribeau's endorsement counts continued to rise, however. Baribeau only remained on top (by a considerable amount) because of external intervention, by [[TITO]], and perhaps others.
 +
 +
During the intervention, several invading nations entered and in guile endorsed Baribeau. However, just before the next update, they switched their endorsements to Lynnaka, who became delegate. The information being provided to Lazarus' natives (without evidence to back it up) by a variety of Defender organizations proved to be true: Lynnaka was a [[DEN]] invader.
 +
 +
Soon after Lynnaka took power, defenders from [[ADN]], The [[Gatesville]] Militia, [[EAA]], [[RRA]], [[NPA]], [[TITO]], [[RKKA]], and [[RLA]] arrived to reclaim the region. Baribeau would end up with 70 or so endorsements (much, much higher than Lynnaka).  Lazarus returned to a life of peace and democracy.

Lazarus

Lazarus is a gargantuan region, with a massive community, boasting over 3753 member nations. Lazarus is also feared by World Assembly members everywhere, with votes from 244 member nations.

The straight-backed, broad-smiling populace of Lazarus eagerly dismissed concerns of oppression. Denizens generally have very few political freedoms, but some limited freedom is afforded to citizens of nations in the region. The economy of the region is remarkably unremarkable, with members being neither powerhouses nor basket cases. The median tax rate of the region is 26%, but is frequently higher for the wealthy. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 30% of the economy comprising the public sector. Commerce is low priority for governments, accounting for an average of 1% of public expenditure, although commerce is generally seen as a source of tax revenue.

Lazarus does not prioritize education in any meaningful way. There is a very high level of crime within the region and law enforcement resources are stretched thin. Nations within the region are forced to use soft fruit and harsh language in the field of battle, with no government funds being set aside for defense. Due to the lack of any Public transport, streets are packed with cars, bikes, and assorted noisy vehicles.

Nobody really knows about the state of administration in Lazarus. Observers asked for information, but found nobody was available to take calls. Some government provision is made for healthcare, but at an average of only 1% the provision for healthcare in the region is paltry. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.

Social inequality is rife amongst the nations within Lazarus. Natural environments are quite bad, although some measures have been undertaken to ensure that the environment is protected.


Lazarus is a feeder region, where nations are automatically sent to when resurrected.

The beginning

Lazarus, originally had no founder, yet when upon delegacy one nation ejected all of the nations from the region, it was decided by the mods to have Testlandia, a puppet of the NationStates administration, as founder. Lazarus largely exists to serve its simple purpose as a repository of newly re-created nations. Lazarus' first organized government was under the delegacy of Lies Incorporated, better known in world politics as Sarda. Under his delegacy, the Lazarus government became active and began to show signs of great international potential.

In the spring of 2004, Sarda was overthrown by New Omnivaro. This new government moved to a new forum, to which it recruited such famed nations as Otm Shanks. An extended period of government inactivity would leave the region in turmoil until the fall of 2004.

Activity

A rebellion began, and once again, Lazarus was active. In late November, a newly founded nation, Vesoul, would endorsement swap its way to the delegacy. This delegacy, however, would be short lived, as Vesoul lost UN status due to rules violations.

Once again, Lies Incorporated claimed the delegacy, and with his new power he brought activity back to Lazarus.

The Baribeau delegacy

On December 17th 2004, Sarda stepped down from his position as delegate, entrusting it to Baribeau. Both remain active part of regional government, extending foreign ties, and working towards a re-write of the Lazarene Mandate.

On January 5th, 2005, Darnand was appointed interim Minister of Defence and Intelligence, and head of the Undead Hordes. Thanks to Darnand, the rest of the staff (TyaGE cannot be left out), and the people of Lazarus, there have been signifigant advancements in this ever-improving region.

On the 7th of March, Baribeau resigned his UN Delegacy, citing RL time restraints. In order to encourage a dedicated, secure delegacy, he remained a regional UN member (keeping his endorsements), and encouraged a variety of citizens to campaign for the delegacy. PeaceLoving Sex Fiends stepped up to the plate.

Freedom

At approximately 11pm (GMT), March 15th, 2005 Testlandia ceased to exist; he returned at about 2am (GMT), March 17th.

Baribeau's delegacy, marked by improved foreign relations, and an increase in forum activity, would conclude 8 days after his resignation.

On the 18th of March 2005, Testlandia was removed as founder (a little while after being resurrected), and Lazarus given the freedom it deserves, as warranted to any other feeder region. See: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=405840

On the 16th of March 2005, PeaceLoving Sex Fiends became the regional UN Delegate, as having the second highest endorsement count when Baribeau was in power, he was seen as a potential delegate after Baribeau's resignation, and when contacted, agreed to take the role, and brought a promise of regional security and prosperity. However, after six days of his delegacy, he had not been active on the forums (and it was suspected that he decided not to use the forums altogether). He changed the World Factbook Entry (mostly regarding himself) without consulting any of the natives on prior notice, additionally, he used it as means to threaten to eject any nations holding half the endorsements of himself (which did not eventuate within his reign). Furthermore he had made some silly mistakes (in the WFE, calling Max Barry "Max Berry", accusing him of condoning seriously grieving flaming. All in all, PLSF was quite inactive (the first 4 days of his delegacy he did not even log in). Accordingly, considerable opposition was mustered against his delegacy, with the relatively new nation of Lynnaka leading the opposition. As Lynnaka's endorsement count came to that of the delegate, several suspicious nation arrived from the same place at the same time, supported PLSF and posted abusive messages on the civil HQ.

DEN invasion

On the 24th of march, PLSF and the above mentioned suspicious nations (about five of them) were simultaneously ejected from the UN for rule violations, and Lazarus was without a delegate.

Lynnaka was left having the next highest endorsement count (30), with Baribeau close behind. Due to Lynnaka's new arrival in the region, and due to the freshly felled previous tyrannical delegacy, several nations withdrew their endorsements from Lynnaka, leaving Baribeau with a slightly greater endorsement count. Both Lynnaka's and Baribeau's endorsement counts continued to rise, however. Baribeau only remained on top (by a considerable amount) because of external intervention, by TITO, and perhaps others.

During the intervention, several invading nations entered and in guile endorsed Baribeau. However, just before the next update, they switched their endorsements to Lynnaka, who became delegate. The information being provided to Lazarus' natives (without evidence to back it up) by a variety of Defender organizations proved to be true: Lynnaka was a DEN invader.

Soon after Lynnaka took power, defenders from ADN, The Gatesville Militia, EAA, RRA, NPA, TITO, RKKA, and RLA arrived to reclaim the region. Baribeau would end up with 70 or so endorsements (much, much higher than Lynnaka). Lazarus returned to a life of peace and democracy.

Lazarus was also conquered easily by invaders for a while in the fall of 2005. Raider groups included The Black Hawks, MDH and many other that I cannot remember.

Mandate 3.0

Shortly before, during, and immediately after the DEN invasion, Lazarus' natives worked day and night at the creation of a third (and hopefully final) Regional Mandate. While working on the mandate, Baribeau appointed the following group of individuals, who would serve as the next government of Lazarus.

The Lazarus Mandate provides for the government of the region. The UN Delegate is the region's leader, and is elected in the forums by a direct vote of the nations of the region, irregardless of actual UN membership. The UN Delegate then appoints the Yaman Council, which handles the day-to-day affairs of the Region. Members of the Council may also lead various commissions that assist in these tasks.

The following make up the current government:
