It will feature guest speakers, mini-games, trivia contests, and a Region-Building Conference where founders from around NationStates will speak on their experiences in creating a region! Stop by to sign the guestbook, and stay for the fun! Electoral Season The past two months have seen a series of elections in Europeia, with candidates posting platforms and citizens participating in two senate and one presidential election. Europeia elected a new Senate in December. One more seat than last term had to be filled, and seven candidates were entrusted with the esteemed office. Calvin Coolidge, Skizzy Grey, and Possibly This were all tied, and a runoff election had to be held to determine the winner of the seventh seat. Possibly this came out as winner. Europeia's junior legislative body, the Citizens' Assembly, also held an election for its Chair. Grizzli, XIV, and Emil Seidel all ran for the post, with Grizzli claiming victory with more than half of the 52 votes cast. In the most recent presidential election, Aexnidaral Seymour ticketed with Brunhilde and ran unopposed for the presidency and vice presidency of the region. Facing the potential of re-opening the election, the ticket collected more than 80 percent votes cast to secure Goldenblock, the official residence of the president of Europeia. With more than 80 votes cast, the turnout represented the second highest in Europeia history. These elections in Europeia have demonstrated the region's political vibrancy, offering opportunities to newcomers and veterans alike to seek, and succeed in, political office. The next election in Europeia is the Senate election, for which standing is currently underway. How I Ran For President As A Newbie And what I would do differently Written by Kaboom Penning an article for the Europeian Broadcast Corporation, Kaboom explains the lessons he's learned running a Presidential campaign in Europeia. He gives prudent advice, starting with: Quote: It's election season in Europeia. Aexnidaral Seymour and Brunhilde currently run unopposed, and maybe that makes you think about a run this term, or maybe the next one. I already did -- And I am not going to lie, running for President may seem like an incredibly daunting task. As someone who has run twice as a dark-horse candidate, I can tell you that it is not quite as it may look from the outside. But no matter how much or how little experience you have, I believe that there are three main ways that one can mount a strong Presidential campaign no matter of how experienced they are[...] He then goes on to delineate those ways, including: Quote: 2. Be pragmatic. Even though having grand goals for your Presidential term can be nice, it is still important to make sure your goals are achievable, especially if you ever desire to run for re-election. Know the people you're going to have in your Cabinet and the people working under them; having a good grasp of your Cabinet's skills will be an enormous aid in knowing where to aim in your goals.

A screening of Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio served as the feature film for the celebration, while games such as "We Ship It", "Love Captions", "Heart Attack", and a Mixlr Dating Game rounded out the event's festivities. We Ship It This past Valentine's Day, Lethen and Sopo sought to recreate the magic of a certain deviant Valentine's Day thread from a few years ago while keeping things a bit... more... civil. The answer? A Europeian Dating Fanfic Roleplay game where Europeians had the opportunity to step into the shoes of one of their region-mates on a blind date. The event was a success, with players representing prominent Europeians from President Aexnidaral Seymour to Associate Justice OnderKelkia. Here's a highlight from the latter: Common-Sense Politics as OnderKelkia "Greetings. I am The Right Honourable OnderKelkia, ED EPS ESE EEQ ESH, His Supreme Majesty, by unquestionable right, Emperor of The Land of Kings and Emperors, King of Norwood, Basileus of Polis, Grand Prince of Niso, Prince of Maxonberg, Autokrator of The Land of Dragonia, Landgrave of Munster, Voivode and Hospodar of Moldavia, and Doge of Vienna. I am here to meet a man named Drecq, with whom I share a mutual acquaintance, and am to explore a potential romantic relationship with. If you are indeed one and the same as the aforementioned individual, then logic would unquestionably dictate that I am, indeed, here for you." Heart Attack As one of the mini-games for the Valentine's Day celebration, we played a little game called Heart Attack. How this worked is that a Private Message would be sent out on the forum to a small group of members with a positive message on it. Those members would then add their own positive message onto the telegram, then send it out to another small group of people. Through this method, a very large chain message is eventually achieved. ERN Blasts Away Opposition! The Europeian Republican Navy, one of the most skilled and professional military forces in NationStates, has continued to showcase its speed and precision in a series of delegate-toppling raids so far in February, including Eurasian Socialist Union, 32 County Irish Republic and Mazeria, where we even had the pleasure of teaching a new group of would-be raiders how to do their job. Our latest raid was in SPACE where a new record was set for triggering. Moreover, the operations were lead and triggered by a diverse group, due to our emphasis on spreading training throughout all our ranks. The ERN ensures excellence and skill for every sailor and officer - joining the ERN and actively engaging with our operations remains a surefire path to military glory and success. But the ERN does not only fight under its own banners. Europeia has always done its best to stay at the forefront of interregional affairs through its diplomacy, and we furthered our ties and relationships with regional partners by helping The Kingdom of Great Britain take The Ezraltonian Region of World Affairs. Under the leadership of longtime Grand Admiral and Imperator Common Sense Politics, The ERN stands only to continue progressing from strength to strength. For The Republic, for Glory! Don't forget, Europeia's Tenth Anniversary celebration, Euro10, starts next week! For more information, visit this link.
