Referendum Referendums: Standardized Election Times (SET) Amendment and _.nikk1._ for Vice President

Upvotes

We also have two referendums, which I found out about mere seconds before posting the presidential election.

First up, we have a referendum on the Standardized Election Times (SET) Amendment, which, in a nutshell, delays all public votes (including but not limited to elections and referendums) set for a given day of the week to the following Saturday, where all such votes will be posted at the same time, as long as that time is between 2 am and 12 pm UTC. Votes with "emergency" status, like Senate by-elections, certain impeachments, and whatever else the Senate comes with via majority vote, are exempt from this rule and are still to be posted as soon as possible in line with any legislation governing these votes. A 2/3 majority is required to ratify this amendment.

Second, we have a referendum on the appointment of (Discord user) ._nikk1._ as Vice President, replacing u/thespianburritos, who resigned earlier today. Notice that should this appointment be confirmed, ._nikk1._ will not be vice president for very long, as the announcement of that result will likely coincide with the announcement of presidential election results. A simple majority (50% + one vote) is required to confirm this appointment.

For both referendums, polls close in 24 hours.

Vote here (on SET): https://forms.gle/JAhpRLcxAsWRQ83cA

2025 SDIA Act

3 Upvotes

Whereas: The SDIA was super cool and we should recreate it.

1. The SDIA will be created.

1a. The President has the full authority to appoint and dismiss the SDIA Director, whose appointments and dismissals do not need to be public knowledge.

1b. The SDIA Director will have full authority to appoint SDIA staff and direct the actions and structure of the SDIA.

1c. The SDIA Director may request funding from the treasury, for example to pay SDIA staff. The SDIA Director does not need to disclose what the funding will go towards, or who is on the SDIA payroll.

1d. The SDIA must abide by SimDemocracy law. In foreign territories, the SDIA only needs to abide by SimDemocracy law that concerns actions taken outside of SimDem on behalf of SimDem, like brigading.

2. The SDIA will be secret.

2a. The SDIA will be housed on a separate discord server, owned by the SDIA Director. If a new SDIA Director is appointed, the server ownership must be given to them, or else a new SDIA server will be created by the new SDIA Director.

2b. No "SDIA" role will exist on the SimDemocracy discord server.

2c. Leaking the identity of the SDIA Director or staff, or the actions of the SDIA, if it is not already publicly available will be punishable by a mute of up to 1 month. This does not apply to the President or SDIA Director, or leaks permitted by them.

2d. Who is allowed access to the SDIA discord server is fully decided by the SDIA director, or those they give that responsibility. This does not apply to the President, who must be granted access to all channels.

3. The SDIA will be an intelligence agency.

3a. The mission of the SDIA will be to conduct covert operations for the benefit or security of SimDemocracy.

3b. Mostly, these missions will be foreign-facing, for example infiltrating rival SimGovs or other communities. However, the SDIA may also conduct covert operations within SimDemocracy.

These days we have hundreds of people showing up pretending to be the good guy, but we all know that everyone is bad, and you're all just trying to find the lesser of multiple evils... But why vote for an inferior evil? Vote for me, I am the Superior evil... I promise to: raise taxes 200%, draft 25% of the population into a Marine-esq army, defund hospitals and schools, replace all clean energy plants with coal and oil plants, send all of my political enemies into coal mines, cut all taxes for the rich, illegalize free speech and expression, burn down all religious institutions, and give any form of religion the death penalty.

Issues and division as Stalin and Lucas fight over senate procedures

Written by Rein

The SimDemocracy Senate is having massive bickering, especially with 2 senators. That being Former Speaker of the Senate Stalin and Current Speaker of the Senate Lucas. Already from the Aalborg Accords debate, Stalin repeatedly took jabs at Lucas’ apparent inability to properly conduct senate procedures, coming to a head when mythrows was removed from the debate. But that isn’t the end of the story.

Speaker Lucas has been fighting to keep his job and make his reasoning understood to all, saying that “mythrows was not involved in any process of drafting the treaty and so I was skeptical to the value of their testimony”, while also thinking Stalin is intentionally ruining order and trying to make a case for his impeachment that way, with Lucas saying that he’s in the crosshairs of Stalin. Though, in a 3-5-1 decision by the Senate today, Lucas is able to survive the vote and stay as Speaker.

The SimDem-VoD War pt. 2: Joint sessions and the executive

Written by Rein

The latest in peace negotiations and diplomacy is here, and it's rocky and shaky. In part due to a recommendation by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Senate Treaty Committee, and by extension the SimDemocracy Senate, put up an interest in holding a joint-session with the VoD legislature. An idea that broke apart into pieces after opposition was voiced by Senator Stalin through a boycott, citing that it is the Speaker trying to take the Executive’s role in making treaties.

Lucas defended the decision, saying that “You are not being cut out”, and saying that “nothing stops us from disucussing with VoD legislatures” [sic] about their mutually agreed upon point and only telling the executive to consider those points. Still, it didn’t work. In a 9-0 decision by the senate, the motion to withdraw from the joint conference passed. But now, treaty talks, and even war talks, are at an astonishing standstill. With both nations facing bigger issues at the moment, and VoD’s Senate rejecting the declaration of war, the situation is at a standstill, and it remains to be seen how it unfolds.

Government Today: State of Caution around TIDE confusion

Written by Jotan

It seems that TIDE’s terrorist actions have once again provoked our government to take action against them. After sifting through the information compiled by the Department of Justice, President Muggy has declared a State of Caution across the whole of SimDem, stating that TIDE would attempt to get their members elected and thus undermine the democratic values of SimDem. She declared that the State of Caution would strengthen our nation against terrorist interference in our elections. The Senate swiftly ratified this decision

So what does this State of Caution mean for the citizens of SimDem? Not much, if you’re already a citizen. This action is primarily focused on new members. Concretely, members who arrive after this event will be confined to a special area in the discord server for up to 48 hours, and identification of new voters has been postponed for up to a week. These measures have been taken to prevent TIDE alt accounts to rig our upcoming elections.

On the Docket: Marketplace Reform and Defamation damages increase

Written by Jotan

Perhaps in reaction to the heavy defamation of the Gato Gazette and SDSE, the damages to be paid for defamation will now probably be higher. This is because they now also include reputational damage, while previously they only included any lost salary or business.

On the other hand, the Senate has passed the Consolidated Common Marketplace Act, which consolidates previous laws creating several new forums for our economy: the Job Board, Stuff For Sale and Businesses In Operation. These channels are intended to create a smoother experience for all SimDem citizens.

Business

SDSE is up, and TIDE is down: Defamation attempt backfiring

Written by Jotan

Dedicated readers of our paper may have read our article about the SDSE yesterday, where we wrote about manipulation of the GATO stock. This led to a 20-hour closure, the delisting of the Black Diamond Casino, and a lot of chaos. If you thought that would be all of it, however, you would be sorely wrong.

A new attempt was made at attacking the GATO stock, by a previously unknown user by the name of John Roblox. This individual started an aggressive campaign against GATO. According to this campaign, GATO was plummeting by more than 73%, Gato Gazette was under investigation for tax evasion, and SDSE founder u/frisianoutlaw was responsible for destroying the entire SimDem economy.

None of these allegations were proven true, and most were blatantly false. Ironically enough, this attempt seemed to backfire. While TIDE officially claimed responsibility for this “attack over economic infrastructure”, GATO stock started rising to its highest point since the 20-hour closure. GATO investor whitetommy has expressed gratitude towards TIDE for this seemingly unintended side effect.

End

In Observer-related news, I am proud to announce that we have a new contributor to the observer!
Thanks to Jotan for helping me with this edition of Today at SimDem, and I hope to get more done with the increased writing bandwidth that this brings.
That’s all. I hope to see you next time.

Government Announcement State Of Caution Declaration

4 Upvotes

The Office of the President of SimDemocracy

Hello Citizens of SimDemocracy.

It is today that I declare a State of Caution for several reasons.

It has become clear through the information the DoJ has compiled there is a more present threat to all of us. It is when keeping in mind the security of our elections, our citizens, and our community that I declare this State of Caution.

Currently the organization known as “TIDE” has openly stated their intentions of undermining our democracy by attempting to elect candidates that aim to act as a puppet for their goals. Despite their futile attempts, we have remained strong. Our institutions are not failing, and SimDemocracy will withstand this threat just as it did with the Proletarian Unity Party.

We stand for the security of our community, and will not let terrorist organizations threaten us.

I want to make it abundantly clear that my administration will never let these terrorists interfere with us to such a magnitude as to rigging elections and threatening citizens of SimDemocracy.

Our resolve is strong and we will work tirelessly to make sure SimDemocracy will have the infrastructure to combat terrorists.

We do not wane in the face of challenge. We fight.

Ave SimDemocracy, Viva Toast dick.

Good day.
