Thank you,
Grand Admiral Apollo

How true those words, spoken by the Grand Admiral of Europeia are. The South Pacific and Europeia had recently expressed an interesting in executing several raiding missions together as a sign of friendship and allegiance to each other. Behind the scenes everything was building up to this moment, the moment where Europeia would To support and aid a raid led by the South Pacific Army and helping them achieve a goal they set out. To take and hold Warzone Airspace. A date set, May 12th, and it was time for the plan to be executed.

5pm GMT...... the sailors readied their targets and took aim for what would be the seventh raid of this term already. Grand Admiral Apollo glanced over to Cerian Quilor and gave the signal for the Europeian Republic Navy to jump with their allies The South Pacific Army and The New Inquisition. Acting as both Point and Scout for the mission was Sheepa of the SPA.

A success! The region was captured and soon after over 23 endorsements came pouring in to support the new Delegate and the region was now firmly under control of the incoming sailors. To this day the region is still under the control of the incoming sailors as Defenders fail to re-take a region that even allows them to re-use their puppets. Well done to all of those involved!

One of the first things a fledgling NationStates region must do is decide upon rules to govern its internal affairs. In Europeia, our intricate system of laws has been a point of pride since our earliest days. It came as a shock, then, when Hyanygo proposed a complete rewrite of those laws. Despite early opposition, Swakistek began the re-writing process in earnest late last year, and it has consumed most of the Senate’s time in the months since.

”The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

On April 20, Senate speaker malashaan presented the final portion of the rewritten laws to President Skizzy Grey for signing. Several days later, Skizzy held a presidential ceremony to honor those whose work contributed to the success of the law reforms.

President Skizzy Grey

Because our legal system enjoys such great esteem, such a massive rewrite stands not only as one of the greatest accomplishments in our own region’s history, but also stands as one of the great legislative accomplishments in the history of NationStates. This accomplishment could not have happened without the work of many people, both in and out of government…. Please join me in extending our congratulations and gratitude to

[Hyanygo, Swakistek and malashaan], and to everyone whose efforts contributed to the successful completion of the law reforms.
[/list]Europeia’s commitment to good governance did not end with passage of the reformed laws – the Senate continues to debate ways to make our Republic better!What's Europeia Got? Election Fever!

Damn Close Race. By Which Candidate Is Neptune Collonges?

During our last Update, it was expected that the Gratz was going to be standing down from his position of Senator in order to take a place within the Judiciary. With an empty hole in the Senate needing filling HEM called for people to stand. What next happened did not come as much of a shock - two heavyweights deciding to go toe-to-toe in the ring. Sopo and JGlenn stood and their supports quickly thumbed their encouragement and tried to gather some drive between either candidate. Vinage at the Europiean Broadcasting Corporation staged a three day debate between the two candidates in order to try and make the decision easier for the voters. Did it? Not at all.... and an even tighter election night began.

A neck-and-neck race from start to finish but, ultimately, Sopo pulled something out of the bag come the last few hours and victory was his.

A well fought race and one that does Europeia proud, commiserations to JGlenn but it won't be the last time you read about him I am sure!What Goal's better?
