GLORIOUS MILITARY VICTORIES REALIZED!

The Office of the Marshal has received reports of a glorious military victory at the front! As our mechanized units stormed over the fungal plains in search of new land to support our emerging industrial needs they encountered a mass of evil mind worms. However, it only took minutes for our highly trained forces to overrun a surprised enemy. Thus, through a combination of lighting speed, superior training and technology, and trust in the leadership of the Marshal, our armed forces emerged victorious once again! However, this victory was without sacrifice. During the battle a platoon fell behind leaving a flank open to attack. Many men were lost in the ensuing battle to regain our momentum, but it was worth it and the tide was quickly turned back in our favour. Also, I have ensured that no such mistake will happen again as [strike] all persons who survived from that section were nerve stapled into an indefinitely long state of shock [/strike] the commander was "relieved" and a new, more competent one was installed for that platoon. As it stands the Revolutionary Army of the Socialist People of the Human Hive has yet to loose a battle to anyone! This is a trend I, the Marshal, vow to uphold!
LONG LIVE THE ARMY! LONG LIVE THE CHAIRMAN! LONG LIVE THE HUMAN HIVE!

It's been edited. Spelling mistakes and the such. If you could check it one more time for me I'd appreciate it.

Hive Public Annoucement

Sector N589 is close for maintenance. Please use the marked detours. Failure to comply will result in unnecessary delay.
Thank you citizen.

Excepts from an ex-spy journal

... I have been watching sector N589 and there are more people entering than leaving. Everyone that left had a strange odour ...

... Just saw two drooling nerve stapled drones pushing a metal container followed by Hive scientists and special troopers I've never seen before carrying flamers ...

... I'm going in today, everything is in order ...

... I must leave today and tell the others! It is inhuman what they are doing. I barely escaped with my life, and good thing they thought I was unconscious when they dump me into the mindworm hatchery. Luckily I was well prepared, except for the mindworms, [INELIGBLE SCRAWL] must leave ...

Gnool · June 10, 2003, 01:51

Sorry about the delay, but all at once everyone seemed to stop posting in the forums so I forgot about it.

Vev · June 10, 2003, 02:31

Candidates Comrade "Write-in" and Comrade Xenobanana could not attend the election due charges of misuse of state property, fraud, embezzling, espionage and jay-walking.

Jamski · June 10, 2003, 05:50

YAY !

Another TWO Gnool cartoons!

YAY!

OK, I'll get going........

Agree to add not but it needs to be striked out since our RASPHH are so strong that any victory with sacrifice can only be unheard of.

Gnool

Keep 'em coming.

Voltaire · June 10, 2003, 18:18

Which remind me, Gnool how would you like to be our new Commissioner of Foreign Relations?

Chairman Declares Mandatory Dancing

The chairman decrees a new law calling for mandatory dancing by the citizens to promote good health, co-ordination, harmony, peace and goodwill. From now on, any citizen not found dancing at registered dance classes will practice for their good health, co-ordination and harmory with the crimson guard.

Anyone interested in doing an interview for pravda?

Octavian X · June 11, 2003, 01:24

Or, election results, to demostrate the democractic fairness of the Hive?

Sweet

I humbly accept. What does the job involve?

Vev · June 11, 2003, 01:53

Rumor has it, there are lots of ambassodorial parties with plenty of grog and fine food. Pity Morgan isn't there to host them. It is then followed by searching through the guests' possessions for secret and subversive material when they are too drunk to respond.

Gnool · June 11, 2003, 02:33

Excellent

When/If all the governmental positions have been decided, I'll write something for Pravda about our glorious bereaucracy.

Edit: I just did

Another Edit: If you want some more comic strips made by me, click the "Adventures of Og" link in my signature - it's a comic strip I make/made with my friends (I haven't updated it since the beginning of the year, but there are still 80-something comic strips there. I'm "Adam")

Central Continuing Committee (CCC)
The Central Continuing Committee of the People and the Party of the Human Hive is the highest organ of state power. The CCC is ultimately responsible for everything the Hive does. The CCC holds executive and legislative power. The CCC is split into four main bodies, which will be detailed later. The main members of the CCC is the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Commissioner of Foreign Relations, Commissioner of General Security, and Commissioner of Public Safety. The CCC can remove anyone from their position of power (excluding the Chairman), and may dismiss the People’s Advisory Council (PAC).

Chairman – Voltaire
The chairman is the leader of the CCC, and therefore the leader of the People of the Hive. The Chairman exercises legislative power with the CCC. The chairman cannot be removed by any individual or organization (excluding him/herself); until such time as he decides to resign, the chairman is Voltaire (but that’s okay seeing as he is an infinitely capable leader). The chairman appoints and removes members of the CCC, executes supreme state power, declares war, declares martial law, issues titles of honour, issues orders of special pardons, and issues orders of mobilization, ratifies treaties, agreements etc. with foreign powers. The Chairman also nominates all members of the CCC.

Deputy Chairman – Jamski
The deputy chairman acts in place of the chairman when the chairman isn’t able to perform his duties for whatever reason. S/he “assists” the chairman, and may be conferred other powers by the chairman. The deputy chairman is elected by the People’s Advisory Council (PAC) and cannot serve more than 2 consecutive terms.

Commissioner of Foreign Relations – Gnool
The job of the Commissioner of Foreign Relations is actually currently undefined in the constitution, but that will hopefully be amended very soon.

Commissioner of Public Safety – Frankychan
The Commissioner of Public Safety is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout the Human hive. S/he handles matters of treason, counter-revolution, such as disrupting the socialist economy, disruptions to the safety of the public etc.

Commissioner of General Security – Vev
Also currently undefined in the constitution.

Commissar of Counter Intelligence – vacant
Subordinate to the General Security Commission, and undefined in the constitution

Central Military Commission
A semi autonomous commission (but ultimately subordinate to the CCC) that, under the guidance of the People of the Human Hive, directs the Revolutionary Army of the Socialist People of the Human Hive.

Marshal of the Revolutionary Army of the Socialist People of the Human Hive – Rokossovky
Undefined in the constitution

Director of Joint Communications – Octavian X
Undefined in the constitution

Director of Military Intelligence – Honghu
Undefined in the constitution

People’s Advisory Council (PAC)
The PAC is the Peoples’ voice in the government – it comprises of 5 deputies elected by popular vote. The deputies in turn elect the People’s Ministries. The PAC, as it’s name suggests, is an advisory council and proposes and gives advice to the CCC on numerous issues, including amendments to the constitution, the creation of prefects (think of them as provinces), the creation of new administrative bodies, economic and social policies, the creation of autonomous regions, annul orders that contravene the constitution, if it’s necessary create and appoint members to committees and enact and amend statutes with the exception of those which should be enacted by the Central Continuing Committee, to give you a broad outline. It may have further powers extended to it by the CCC. The People’s Ministries will now be discussed.

Minister of Information – Tassadar
Undefined in the constitution, but it’s somewhat obvious that the Minister of Information is responsible for informing the People about what’s happening, and telling them other important information they need to know.

Editorial Deputy – Jamski
Subordinate to the Ministry of Information. Undefined in the constitution, but is responsible for the publication of Pravda, the newspaper of the Human Hive.

Promoter of Public Morale – Vev, Gnool
Subordinate to the Ministry of Information, undefined in the constitution. (One can guess that the Promoter(s) of Public Morale are responsible for keeping the people happy)

Minister of Scientific Knowledge - Static Universe
Undefined in the constitution, probably responsible for directing state research and technology.

Minister of Social Engineering – vacant
Undefined, but fairly obvious

Minister of Industry & Development – vacant
Undefined

Commissar of Economic Development – Micha
Undefined, subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Development

Commissar of Infrastructure – Micha
Undefined, subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Development

Comrade Gnool, the CFR is an appointed position, you’re already Commissioner of Foreign Relations. We can’t let this democracy thing get too far now can we, the Chairman still must have some power.
