RP News:
The overhaul has quieted down now. The war in Awyyn has been silent for some time, and the war in Der Tigerland has been won, resulting in a mutual treaty between Gibraltarica and the Siberian Republic. There has been an earthquake in the Cynosure Temple, however, all infrastructure has been repaired, thanks to an effort led by Gibraltarica. There have also been several conferences, one involving a trade deal, one involving war crimes. No major RP treaties have been passed. Additionally, a College at the Court on Mount Rathu has been opened. All people are encouraged to join.
Internal Affairs
The elections following Holy's resignation on the 4th of March have been completed, with 5 candidates, at the following polling numbers:
Gibraltarica: 10
ProfessorHenn: 4
Holy: 2
Der Tigerand: 0
Surrusia: 0
Gibraltarica, former Internal Affairs Councillor, has since been sworn in as Councillor. He has appointed ProfessorHenn in his place, and has officially appointed Bytotia as WA Councillor, however, is allowing for elections in the near future, at which Bytotia will run against all approved applicants in a FPTP poll open to WA members. The position of Culture Councillor has also since been opened to applicants, and will be directly appointed by the Councillor based on the applications.
In addition, a job creation program has been established jointly by the Councillor and the Internal Affairs Department. It will start offering jobs in the areas of Internal Affairs, Cultural Affairs, and Foreign Affairs to any member who wishes to apply.
Foreign and WA Affairs
Embassies have been opened with Wintreath, Equinox, Aurorealis, and Albion, and applications have been submitted to The South Pacific for a consulate and to Europeia for an embassy. More embassies will be opened in the near future. Recruitment has been largely successful, thanks to those who chipped in a bit. In total, we have seen an increase of more than 50 nations over the past 3 weeks.
Cynosure's current Delegate, Bytotia, was elected on March 5th, and has seen an increase of 7 endorsements over the past week. He has approved the following proposals: Declare Global Warming Real, Space Exploration, Right to Internet Access, and On Space Trade. They have voted against Repeal "Condemn Vandoosa" and for the Sexual Health and Education Act.
