Network: News | NationStates | Forum

 

Europa is one of the oldest regions in NationStates, established in January 2004. As a region, Europa offers hospitality to any form of government, whether kingdoms, democracies, empires, or disputed territories. Get to know what goes on in this vibrant region, and feel free to post a comment or two.



Issue 35

OK, first up, as usual, is an update on the number of nations within Europa as of when I’ve made this update.

Numbers
Have been at a steady 270-odd for a while, and we have got an increased number of active members on our regional forum, which is always a good thing.

Internal Affairs
Quite, again. Although we have had two ejections from the region. The first was the Xheng Dynasty, due to his admittance on another region’s board that he was, in fact, deliberately trying to annoy people in Europa to stop a role-play going ahead as he was too busy. Why he couldn’t have asked for a suspension of the RP until a time he was not busy, I don’t know. The second, of a nation called Gehennalemm, who featured the letters “KKK” in his flag. He claimed ignorance of the meaning, saying that it was the initials of an independence movement in his native country of the Philippines. A quick search confirmed this. A bit of a mistake on our part.

Foreign Affairs
Nothing out of the ordinary, although I have been attempting to get enough ambassadors for our last two embassies, one in Equilism and the Proletariat Coalition.

Roleplay
Another new look for our boards. We now have separate sub-forums for the different alliances and organisations, and a greatly-expanded Historical section, which now includes a bit on the future of the region. Here’s the link. You can also see the many going’s on in our regional roleplay section by following that link.

See you all next time!

Issue 34

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Bit of a farce, not enough people stood for election so everyone who stood was elected I say there are too many senators in that case . Ministers have also been apointed.

DEFENSE
A nation called The Republic of Gomaria infiltrated Europa and T.E.A. His real name is The Kingdom of Deutschland-Fatherland and is a resident of NAZI EUROPE. Not the first time Europa has had trouble with Nazis

Talking of TEA, things have settled down a little, a couple of nations are on holiday and we are winding down however, we did sucessfully defend Northern Ireland last week

ROLE-PLAY
Europa is gripped in a *pause* well phony war. In essence it all kicked off when a nation called Xheng tryed to annex a small kingdom on its border. Sabre rattling ensued and almost the whole of Europa are fighting... Well at war, no fighting has actually taken place yet.

Issue 33

Again, another busy week, especially in our Role Play section, has meant I haven't been able to make an earlier update for the viewing of those esteemed regions that have me as the representative from the region of Europa. This, combined with a visit to the University of Reading, which as a damned good place, if I may say so, has led to the lack of an update for the past fortnight. Numbers We have fallen below the 280 mark, and are now at 270-odd. This isn't so bad, as it's something to be expected with newer nations having a lack of interest in the game, and older ones being swamped in Real Life. We have had the return of an older member, Kant, which is always good. Internal Affairs Europa’s also completed the final part of its government reform. The candidates for the various ministerial positions have been voted in by the Senate, and they now stand as thus: Paranoid Schizo as Minister for Internal Affairs, Vanarambaion as Minister for Security and myself as Minister for Foreign Affairs. We have also had a visit from an older, but very unwelcome, member. See it here. Foreign Affairs For a Foreign Affairs minister, I’m actually fairly bad, as I can’t remember what the hell we’ve done in the past few weeks. It’s probably just sorting out the last few ambassador positions and the like. Could I also push for an update from this region Roleplay Ok. So this is the section which has demanded the most of my attention, both as a player and as a Moderator, for the past two weeks or so. Mainly Europa is concerned with the fate of a small Europan kingdom/empire of Hidaya Miliki. It’s a very long story, but I’ll attempt to sum it up thusly: Xheng reported genocide in the nation and proposed intervention, whilst Akiiryu and Tagmatium opposed any intervention, for two different reason (Tagmatium’s one was entirely selfish, and concerned with people not finding out about weapons trading). When Xheng invaded, Tagmatium declared war, quickly followed by the majority of the Alliance. This then blossomed into war. View the IC thread here and the OOC thread there. Other happenings have been in our region’s new Newsroom. I’m particularly pleased with my own thread. © Europa, 2006 | Written by Tagmatium
