General Elections

The Allied Republics has finished conducting its 12th General Elections, the most competitive election that the Allied Republic has had for a long time. Most positions were up for vote, including the presidential and delegate offices, as well as 4 senate seats.

First of all was the presidential election. 3 nations declared their candidacy. Free States, Kevo, and Conserlan all challenged Crescellia's bid for re-election. However, a change in RL circumstances forced Crescellia and Conserlan to drop out of the race, assuring that the new president of the Allied Republics would either be Free States or Kevo. The results are as follow:

Congratulations to Free States and Libertarian Washington, the new president and vice president of the Allied Republics. This election marks an end to Free States self imposed exclusion from regional politics that lasted for over a year. He served 3 terms as the first president of the Allied Republics and much was accomplished during his tenure in the form of major constitutional reforms. This also marks the first time Libertarian Washington has held a top executive office. For an aspiring future president, this could spell a victory in a future presidential race for Libertarian Washington. The results of the election are as follows:

Second is the delegatorial election. Delegate elections for the past 6 months have been marked by a lack of competition. After Tatu Rama was elected to his second term virtually unopposed, he was surprised and somewhat intimidated to see that he'd have to compete for his third. This election, four candidates ran for the delegate's ticket: Tatu Rama, Robersonstan, Obito, and Hunteiria. When polls opened, the vote seemed evenly split between all four candidates. However, Robersonstan and Tatu Rama got more votes later on, getting them to run-offs. The run-off election was no less different, with the votes dividing between Robersonstan and the incumbent. Tatu Rama emerged as the victor with a small margin of 5 votes. The results are as follows:

Last but not least are the Senate elections. This Senate election was remarkable for its competitiveness. 8 candidates vied for 4 Senate seats: Aurumaquaria, Western Timpetotia, Andune, CPSU, Britarvia, Bacilli, Harold Thatcher, and Conserlan. After a very competitive race, the results are as follows:

Congratulations to Britarvia, Andune, Bacilli, and Western Timpetotia for their election to the Allied Republics Senate! The region hopes that the competitiveness of these 3 elections becomes a hallmark of the Allied Republic once more.

Anime!
By Lewis and Daniel

Hello this update I have been given the chance to include some anime, which is a popular thing in The Allied Republics, at least by several people including my self. Hopefully I will be able to have articles like this in future updates as well as I really enjoy talking and writing about anime, manga, and other related things. In this section, if it continues, I will be doing various things from time to time. Sometimes, like this time, I will be including reviews on anime or manga either anime I thought were really good and need to share with you, anime I recently finished, or anime that I've watched and I just want to tell you how it was. I might also write about recent happenings in the anime world like an anime winning an oscar or mulitple anime being nominated or a director retiring and so forth. With that a side let's get to it.

Kimi ni Todoke

Kimi ni Todoke --- Also known as From Me to You and Reaching You but mainly as Kimi ni Todoke. The Story starts of with Sawako Kuronuma or as most of her classmates call her or as known by Sadako because most of them think she resembles the girl from "The Ring" and all of them avoid her and are scared of her because they think she is mean and such. However she is moderatly shy and despite everything still tries to gain friends and talk to people and is actually really nice and kind and sweet and all those good things. The story takes off from there as we see her live and all that not to give away too much.

The Story is really good, it is mainly a Slice of Life, romance, and shoujo anime. The story develops at a really good pace and it's not as deep as a phycological thriller it still tells a nice story that is fairly deep considering how you view it. The story rarely if ever got boring for me as it held be tight as I went through all the episodes wanting to see what happened next. The story is also unique with other shoujo anime and doesn't have many clichés and unlike some other shoujo anime isn't this soap opera like anime that can break out down at times rather it's much better. You might be thinking, well I'm a guy and shoujo anime and manga is for girls, well I too am a guy and I rather like shoujo anime and manga and romances, and I also like actions so you know. This is also one of the best romance animes that I've seen and I love romance anime. It really does a good job with the story though of course it being a Slice of Life anime some may think at times that it goes really slow, I really didn't think that when I was watching it.

The characters are a place where this shines, it has wonderful and unquie characters especially Sawako and I condsider her one of my favorite anime characters as she just loveable and wonderful. As she cries we too tear up not always because it was sad but because it was beutiful and joyus. As she laughs we too find our selves laughing. Other characters in the series are good as well and I really enjoyed them like Shouta, Chizuru, Ayane, and Ryuu. Character development is wonderful and great, we really get to see how these characters grow and develop throughout the anime. It also doesn't focus on developing just one or two characters but rather several characters to a good degree and by the end you can really see how far these characters have come. Not only that but the story doesn't focus on just one love tale or just focus heavily on one character that we don't get to see a lot of the others, we really get to see into the other characters and they are really included. Because of all of the development and the time that we spend with them they really grow on you and you really like them and want them to succeed and they become amazing.

The music is wonderful, I found the opening and ending themes to be great and awesome though they are only like 1 minute long compared to the normal 1 minute and thirty seconds however they are still great songs and are rememberable. They might not be the absolute best I've seen they are really good. It doesn't stop there the soundtrack in the anime also melds well and I can hardly remember hearing the same music over and over again to the point where it's overused. Though the soundtrack isn't as memberable as the opening and ending it did it's job well and I think that if I heard it in a playlist it would also be good. Maybe not where you have to have the CD of the sound track but nice to hear once in awhile.

The animation was good, it was nice and sweet and really well done. The characters where really well draw and the animation style was unquie and well done. That being said there were still some flaws, like I remember where when viewing a character from the side and a little diagnal and I think in a couple other view points as well we could only see one eye and the other side was kind of shaded in. It was enough for me to take notice, there are a couple of times where things like this happened but it doesn't greatly detract from the overall experience of the animation or the anime. The anime is not dubbed to my knowledge and I watched it subbed and the voice acting was pretty well done, I really don't have any complaints about it.

The ending, well there is a second season which only has 12 episodes, the first season has 25. So the ending of the first season was good, alight because there was a second season which I quickly jumped to. It's regretable that the second season though only has 12, I would like to see a third but who knows if that will happen. Though to comment on the second season's ending it was a little rushed but still good.

Overall it was a wonderful anime that I really enjoyed. I'm sure that if you like Slice of Life anime or Romance or even shoujo then you will like this anime, if you only ever watched mecha and action then maybe you will like it. It could be that nice refreshing anime that you watch. I urge you to check it out, maybe it give it a episode or just the opening, and if you don't like anime or never tried it then this could be your chance.

Happy New Year!

May all our allied regions receive the love and good-will from the Allied Republics! We hope that you had a very happy New Year and we cannot see what 2014 has in mind for all of NationStates. Enjoy the anime expertise, its our little gift to you.
