UPDATED - Government: Thane Election Results
At the end of the vetting period, several candidates for Thane elections failed to meet the requirement to create a campaign answering several questions to prove their qualifications, resulting in only one vetted candidate for most positions and making actual elections unnecessary. In spite of the lack of elections, the process resulted in several new promising thanes who will serve for the remainder of the term that ends at the end of February. The thane positions as they stand now are:

Ministry of Culture
Thane of Gaming: Gattoartico (Gattoartico)
Thane of LGBTQ Community: Mariam (Yevraziyskaya Rus)
Thane of Roleplay: Vacant
Thane of Werewolf: Laurentus (no nation)

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Thane of Embassy Dispatches: Vacant

Congratulations to the new thanes!
