Equilism Foreign Update

Delegate: Zeorus
Population: 127
Security Status: Elevated

In the Government

We are saddened by the resignation of tarricoe, who felt he did not have the time to run the government the way it deserves and thus stepped down from his post two weeks ago. Zeorus and The Monkye both stepped up to challenge for his office, and with a vote of 7 to 3, Zeorus is the winner! Congratulations to our newest Chief Minister - grab the bull by its horns and try not to get gored!

Equilism's CoPS legislation has been put on hold temporarily, due to concerns about its interaction with the legislation and policies of a number of our closest friends. We plan to attend the CoPS discussion at the NS World Fair and work out the kinks from what comes out of that. Stay tuned!

Judiciary legislation has been brought to a vote, finally having passed the Astarial Nitpicking Test(tm) and once Zeorus is properly sworn he'll be redecorating his office according to whatever his classy thematic tastes decide. Currently under consideration are theocratic, orchestral, corporate, Feudal Japanese, and (my favorite!) Discworld themes!

Oh, and we extend our warmest welcome to Curtius of Oraville - our newest Senator! :wub:

At the World Assembly

Prevention of Child Abuse
Abstain: 2-2-0

Transboundary Water Use Act
For: 3-1

Repeal "Liberate Hippiedom"
For: 5-0

Repeal "Commend Quote of the Day"
Against: 1-5

Commend Lamoni
For: 3-2

Domestic Affairs

Newly elected Zeorus has wasted no time at all, merging Internal Affairs with Immigration to create the brand spanking new department of Domestic Affairs! Officer in charge of DA is the former Immigration Minister, The Monkye, and former Internal Affairs minister Randgriz is released from service with the thanks of the region.

Immigration
The official winner of the October recruitment competition is Karland, with 2144 points! He earns the following medal, along with a signature-sized version, and the gratitude of a struggling region.

With a population surging up to 122 - which would be higher but for assorted military deployments keeping some of our loyal members busy - we wait with baited breath to see what The Monkye will think up next!

Foreign Affairs
With Zeorus' elevation to Chief Minister, the position of Foreign Affairs minister stands temporarily vacant. But have no fears, it shall soon be filled! Sources tell us that Astarial has been nominated, and Vesica has expressed an interest in the position as well.

Military
The military is currently deployed in Osiris, assisting in their delegate transfer from Lyanna Stark to MadJack. We applaud Lyanna for her fabulous service to the region and wish her luck in all her future endeavors. And to our new favorite Pharaoh, a very hearty welcome and an assurance that we will provide whatever is needed in the way of friendship, endorsements, and cookies. :wub:

Along with his other sweeping radicalizations, Zeorus has established a ministry of defense, to which Vesica and Whamabama have been nominated as Officer.

Equilism Foreign Update

Delegate: Zeorus
Population: 117
Security Status: Snug as a bug in a rug

In the Government
The senate has been relatively quiet recently, reflecting general business among members. CoPS legislation continues to be on hold, pending results of the rework at the World Fair. Constitutional amendments may be on the horizon, though, following the recent election that revealed several shortcomings in its current form.

At the World Assembly

Promotion of Bee-keeping
Against: 6-3

Repeal "Assitance Givers Protection
Against: 5-2

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Protection Act" (Still pending)
Against: 6-0

Repeal "Commend The Quote of the Day"
Against: 5-1

Repeal "Liberate Hippiedom"
For: 5-0

Repeal "Condemn Sedgistan"
For: 5-1

Condemn The Dourian Embassy (Still pending)
Against: 7-0

Domestic Affairs
Domestic affairs welcomes its first maybe-kinda-sorta-temporarily-illegal Minister, Hamajahala! It's pretty awesome, guys - the lady of emotions was finally talked into getting involved in government despite never having done so before! And though we all know that campaigns are dirty, dirty lies, she did make mention of bringing back Miss Equilism, and maybe even making a posted guide for the nutty symbols she uses! (>&w&)>, Hama!

...Is that right? There's so much nuance, I can't keep it all straight! :(

Role Playing
Star Trek: Equilism has been going strong, and RP has seen some activity in a future-time superhero game from Svunbrink and Baal. As well, a number of people expressed interest in a Discworld-themed roleplay, and Zeorus is gauging interest in a magical storyline within the dark and creepy Vampires universe.

Immigration
Regional population has been holding steady in the mid-teens, and The Monkye has been named as Sexy Secretary of Immigration by the new Ministrix. Come on, Monk! Let's make 150 by the end of the year!

Foreign Affairs
The Foreign Affairs department is currently un-ministered, with nobody stepping up to take the job following the elections for Chief Minister. In the interim, Zeorus is staying on as acting Minister, and Astarial is continuing as Deputy Minister for Lies and Propaganda. With the lyingest lies and propagandingest propaganda, any new minister who takes over should keep her on. Hint hint!

Equilism has a booth at the World Fair, which we admit is sadly understaffed, but we hope to see some of our friends come poke around! Look for Astarial and Zeorus in the CoPS redrafting auditorium, and check out the fIRCe-side chat Grandpa Westwind held Saturday night. It turned into a convention of the oldtimers, who reminisced and plotted coups. All in good fun, of course, lighthearted and amusing, ha ha... but can you be sure they weren't actually serious? :ph34r:

E-Army
The E-Army has officially been reinstated, under the leadership of Vesica, Minister, and Whamabama, Chief of Staff. And in a general call to duty, all active and available troops, whether members of the Flying Circus, the Obsidian Order, or the soon-to-be-staffed E-Army (not to mention innocent, not-officially-military-at-all members) have been called upon to fulfill the terms of our treaty with The North Pacific, assisting in the delegate transfer between long-suffering, long-absent, heinously-recalled Delegate Eluvatar, and lots-of-fun, definitely-couping, legally-elected Interim Delegate Tim, trying to stave off the inevitable power-grab by bunny-eared, kick-banning, deliciously-modly Erastide.

...We're totally not trying to take you over this time, guys. Honest. :unsure:

Equilism Foreign Update

Delegate: Zeorus
Population: 145
Security Status: Blanketed

In the Government
A bit of talk, a bit of fluff, but nothing much of substance has been accomplished these lazy first two weeks of the new year. Ah well!

However, Equilism does have a brand spanking new governmental theme - English nobility, as decreed by Viceroy-Elector Zeorus! So say hello to your new lords and ladies, archdukes and archduchesses, patricians, princes, and most of all emperors! Appropriate amounts of respectful applause and cheering for the noble overlords requested. ;)

At the World Assembly

Condemn Cynthia McKinney (Still pending)
For: 2-1

Condemn HIppostania
Against: 3-1-1

Renewable Energy Installations (Still pending)
Against: 4-1

Child Firearm Safety Act
Against: 3-1

Freedom to Read and Learn
Against: 3-1

Domestic Affairs
Equilism's Winter Ball is underway, attended by lovely lords and ladies from such faraway places as Osiris and Unknown, as well as our own Equilismers. But in an utterly stunning turn of events, Zeorus has been murdered, poisoned to death most foully! Who could the murderer be? It it his own dear fiancee, Astarial, getting cold feet about the marriage? Or perhaps the bewitching and mysterious Elindra from faraway Unknown, discovering her lover is engaged? Or perhaps his friend and confidant, Grand Kierania, who has his own designs on the lovely bride-to-be? Or maybe even his mother, Hamajahala, eager to be the sole recipient of her father's estate upon his death? Join the ball, spin your own theories, and take your chances with a murderer running loose!

Immigration
With a dedicated effort from Astarial and Zeorus - unflappable after his ghostification - Equilism has marched steadily upward these past two weeks, with a net gain of 25 nations, bringing us to 145 total!

Foreign Affairs
With the Foreign Affairs office finally filled, perhaps things can start getting done around here! Equilism has opened embassies with Spiritus and Mordor, both growing defender regions sure to become powerhouses! The Archduchess is now settling down for a lovely bit of paperwork, cleaning up ambassador lists and the whole general office area. Golly, what a mess!

Millitarism


We've been doing that for a while Heronlord. I don't think I've seen any other region do it either. I have a suspicion we started to do that just because we thought an update was too short and needed to pad it out a bit, and ended up keeping it.

Anyway, another update!

Equilism Foreign Update

Delegate: Zeorus
Population: 202
Security Status: Snowy

In the Government
Our Chief Minister Zeorus has announced his resignation, citing "how much you all suck" and "this game is dumb anyway" as definitely not the reasons behind his decision. He has nominated Felasia to be his replacement, so stay tuned for an exciting campaign.

In happier news, Equilism is one of the five regions invited to form the charter membership of Sovereign Confederation. With enthusiastic approval voiced so far, the vote is expected to be quick and uncontested. We are thrilled at the prospects this organization opens up.

We've passed an amendment to our constitution making the Delegacy a position subject to the challenge system, and are nearly finished with our bill outlining the responsibilities and rights of the same (minus some small details, such as whether non-WA nations ought to be able to vote in the region's WA vote).

At the World Assembly

Debt Collection Act (Still pending)
Against: 3-0

First Responder Protection Act
Against: 6-0

Currency Standards Act
Against: 5-1

World Assembly Statue Garden
Against: 5-2

Repeal "Marital Rape Justice Act"
For: 4-0

Liberate South Pacific
For: 4-1

Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"
Against: 7-0

Domestic Affairs
At Equilism's Winter Ball, the music still plays merrily while guest and host alike are rocked by a second tragic death - Vesica, father of the grieving Hamajahala and grandfather of the first dreadful victim, Zeorus, has succumbed to the same insidious poison as the first. The murderer remains at large, with guests conflicted, unable to agree on a scapegoat to hang. We do not know who will die next, but surely it will be gruesome.

Immigration
The fantastic Felasia has been tireless in his recruiting efforts, aided when possible by Zeorus and Astarial, and Equilism is now boasting a population of 202 nations! Fun fact: Equilism last broke 200 nations in November, 2008 - over four years ago! This is really thoroughly exciting for us, and we really hope that a bunch of our new friends stick around and get involved in government. :D

Foreign Affairs
The Archduchess is pleased to note that ambassadors are steadily and thoroughly filling out their reports on assigned regions. Soon, all the knowledge shall be hers! Muahahahahahaha...
