INTERNAL AFFAIRS

NUMBERS
Back down to 266, but then no-one has done any recruiting for a long while. Our second arch-recruiter, Pirilao, has returned from holiday and is now once again spreading the word of Europa into the feeder regions, to get our numbers back up.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
After our Senatorial Elections, we have now had our Ministerial Appointments. These work by the candidates putting themselves forward to the Senate and then the Senate deciding who the best candidates for a specific Ministerial post are. The posts are:

Minister of Foreign Affairs – In charge of Europa’s interaction with other regions

Minister of Internal Affairs – In charge of the internal happenings, such as making sure there are no attempts to stage a coup against our long-running and popular delegate, Orioni2 and immigration.

Minister of Defence – Organising the army of our region, in cooperation with the General of the Europan Army

Only three candidates put themselves forward, me for Foreign Affairs, Tamurin for Internal and Adaptus for Defence. The Senate agreed that we were the best candidates for the job, so we were made Ministers, although Adaptus had been emergency MoD, so he kept it, and I was the previous MoFA, so I kept that.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
We have been contacted by the region of Genosha, asking if we can make a consulate for them. At the moment, there has been no opposition for the creation of the consulate.

ROLE-PLAY
The RP about Tarragat Island has finished, and was one of the most fun we’ve had.

There have been several civil war RPs kicking into action, including one about the overthrow of a fascist government and another taking place in a nation that is a tribal confederacy.

NUMBERS
Thanks to a huge bit of recruiting by myself, we’re now back up into the 270s, after quite a steep decline in the 250s. I’m still going, so hopefully we’ll be back into the 290s and maybe 300s again.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
We have had no major dramas like two weeks ago, where Orioni 2 lost the delegacy to an army of puppets.

We have had the third Senatorial election this year. The new lot are Rekamgil, Pirilao, Italgria, Vocenae and Mongol-Swedes. The new faces are the last three, and the first two are now old hands.

This means we can now get on with our Ministerial elections. Tamurin has already put himself for Minister of Internal Affairs, although he is the only candidate to do so, so far. Presumably, Adaptus will put himself forward for Minister of Defence, but he’s now on holiday in Turkey, after apparently forgetting that he as going.

Whoops, almost forgot. We’ve a new system of awards up and running, although this last month didn’t attract much attention, sadly.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
We have had little to do in the sphere so far this month, although that does by no means excuse my usual lateness in updating. Sorry!

ROLE-PLAY
Both Tarragat and Tinian are still continuing, but interest in Tinian has apparently petered out.

Adaptus started a Roleplay about a crisis in his nation, although he remembered he had to go on holiday and so hasn’t really got anywhere with it yet.

On my part, on the 6th of August, I went on to a trip to Silchester to take part in the excavation of the Roman town of Celleva Atrebatum which is just outside of the village. Here’s my thread on the subject.

It was damn good fun, and I would recommend that, if anyone has a chance to do a similar thing, jump at it!

Also, on Thursday 17th of August, all British kids got back their results for A2 Levels, pending upon which we can go to university. I didn’t quite get the grades needed, but I gave my University of choice a ring and they let me in, anyway.

So in October, I’m off to university! Woo!

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
