President and Senatorial ElectionsThe senate and cabinet were dissolved and elections were called for Aug.25th, 2007.
Four candidates stood for the office of president:
NasalivesII, Paleomiz, Pineapleboy and Nlhp.The former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Pineapleboy won the presidency in a landslide victory and NasalivesII came in second and is therefore, the Vice-President. Paleomiz withdrew from the presidential race.
The number of senators in the senate was expanded to 7 from 5 due to a law that was passed before the election and the following 7 members was came up on top:
Lethen, Danoboy, Cordova I, Bolden, Linkin Maximus, Paleomiz, NasalivesII. The other candidates included GovernorGoldfarb and Nlhp. The senate race was very close, with the senator receiving the least number of votes (Bolden) having just one more vote than GovernorGoldfarb and Nlhp.
President Pineapleboy Appoints Cabinent MembersAfter winning the presidency, President Pineapleboy named members of his cabinet, which is listed above. This term saw a few new members of the full cabinet (not including junior minsters) such as Cordova I and NasalivesII with the rest having been members before.
Europeia's new DelegatePaleomiz agreed to become the new UN delegate after the old one became inactive and could no longer serve the region effectively. So far, she has been doing a fine job, seeking our input whenever a new UN resolution is put up to a vote and casting a vote according to the will of the majority of citizens.
Deputy Foreign Secretary and new Ambassadors namedDelvetia agreed to stay in cabinet and assist the new Foreign Secretary, Cordova I. The UN delegate, Paleomiz, agreed to become the Europeian ambassador to Norfolk and 01 Eastern Roman Empire and the Vice-President, NasalivesII accepted a post as the Europeian ambassador to Hampshire.
University ExpandsThe Europeian Republica University has undergone a major expansion in regards to structure, organization and faculty. More classes were added (such as biology, music education, and space exploration) and new professors were hired to teach them (Paleomiz and NasalivesII). The structure of the administration includes a dean now, who is elected by the professors and the university remains a semi-independent entity in Europeia, relying on government funds while at the same time, retaining academic freedom.
