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 48

NUMBERS
We’ve had a sharp decrease in regional numbers. We’re now down to 260-odd, which is a very dramatic decrease. It has lead to me to place a bit of a rant on the RMB:
Well, does anyone do recruiting?

No?

Why not, then?

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
We had a bit of an invasion scare last week, with one member, called Ravenhelm, equalling endorsements with our long-standing delegate, Orioni2. He strenuously denied any attempt at taking the delegacy, even though a member called Trotskyiana posted on the RMB, calling for an over-thrown of Orioni2. Tamurin, a senator, spotted it just in time, and we were able to take measures, including asking our allies to be on standby for any attack on the region. Our allies, Q102, Jethnea and Belgium all responded admirably.

Ravenhelm continued to protest his innocence, but also made an army of UN puppets to take the delegacy for short while before being deleted. Read all about it here.

We’ve also announced another round of Senatorial elections, which can be viewed here.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Apart from the mad scramble for support linked to the above, we have had a quiet period in Foreign Affairs.

ROLE-PLAY
As usual, the most busy part of our forum.

Tarragat has become a frenzy of activity, as has our other on-going war, Tinian. Both are struggles for control over various islands.

Tamurin’s interesting and unique RP following applicants to the Tamurinian air force continues.

There have been several other major happenings, but there really isn’t enough room for me to go into them here

Issue 47

NUMBERS
Numbers are at about 280 last time I checked.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
A member called Ravenhelm tried to coup us, but he didn't suceed, luckily. See for more info.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
We have a new diplomat in Canada!! Wee!

ROLE-PLAY
Tarragat island and the tinian conflict is ongoing we also have a war betweem the aristocracy and mongol-swedes.

A small short update. My first, I bet they'll get longer in the future when my skill gets over 0.

Ciao!

Issue 46

NUMBERS
At the 290-mark last time I checked. The recruiters from Europa have been doing a good job at keeping the regional numbers up.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Adaptus has been appointed Minister for Defence, in charge of all things military in the region, whilst Fleet Admiral Connor Grey (whose nation is Deltannia) has been appointed General of the Europan Army. We hope to get the TEA back on track after months of stagnation and a series of generals who didn’t perform their job properly.

We’re also discussing how to make the inner workings of the region much, much more open to the non-governmental members of the region, to improve interest in all Out-Of-Character and governmental aspects of the region, in which member activity is down a lot.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Mild activity in this area of Europa.

We were asked by the region Stewie Griffland to enter into an alliance with them. We made it clear that we would only enter into an alliance with them once we’ve had a long period of relations, but we also turned down commencing relations with them. This was due to the fact that, although they called themselves “defenders”, they also freely admitted that they would invade a region if they didn’t agree with how it was being run.

A region called “The Land of Kings and Emperors” has also contacted us with creating an alliance in mind.

ROLE-PLAY
As always, one of the busiest areas of Europa. There are several small-scale wars happening over various islands in the region, including Tinian Island and Tarragat Island, both of which have the potential to kick-start a pan-Europan RP conflict, what with the complex web of alliances and the refusal of some sides to come to the conference table.

Another popular thread is A Gateway to the Stars, in which a Stargate has been found in the region and is spitting out gribbly aliens – all in a parallel universe, so that it doesn’t interfere with any on-going conflicts or politicking.
