Stocks boom in Europeia-Inc. as talks continue.Europeia has, in recent times, seen some of its influential and important citizens also be shareholders in good standing in Region Inc. These include recent Euro presidential candidate and current RI CFO
JGlenn, current RI Chairman and former Euro Senator
Jairo, and other prominent dual citizens such as
Henry von Hoffman,
Notolecta, and
Cerian Quilor. This close ties fostered by this diverse group of dual citizens led to a diplomatic conference, which in turn gave rise to the "Europeia Inc." cultural exchange that was held recently in Europeia.
The culture festival was planned by Cerian and Culture Minister
Lethen and featured a wide range of entertaining and humorous activities. Also, when there’s an open bar, who can say no to a drink or five huh? With games ranging from "Pick JGlenn’s new avatar" to "Corrupt a Wish" there was a bit of something for everyone! So much fun that it overran its schedule by nearly a week!!
Why does JGlenn need a new avatar? With much bridge-building, hand-shaking and investments made – it seems that Europeia Inc. might become something of a regular occurrence. Kudos all round!
The Europeian Republican Navy Strikes Again!After the recent General Election discussed in our last Foreign Update, Apollo was nominated to the position of Grand Admiral, quickly looking to expand and get the ERN raiding regularly. Even more recently, several ERN seamen, led by Grand Admiral Apollo, successfully captured and held “The Creed” [With arms wide open, under the sunlight, welcome to this place] on April 12th with Cerian Quilor acting as 'Point'. Captured, scouted and held in only a few seconds. Well played!
Something notable of the raid was the ERN posting a link to the previous region’s flag as well as the old WFE to allow them to replace it after their occupation was complete. Well done lads! The other thing notable was the, frankly, boring World Factbook Entry write-up by Cerian Quilor. Come on boy! Where’s the world famous hilarious World Factbook Entry write-ups we are famous for?? Rumours has it, Grand Admiral Apollo will be giving them all lessons on how to tell a joke. Anyway, with the support of the ERN’s Volunteers the TNI. Armed Forces, LKE Armed Forces and the Aphroditean Empire, by the end of the operation the ERN Delegate had over 30 endorsements which is a proud achievement and shows that raider unity is out there. Grand Admiral Apollo, pleased with the success, presented this to those who started the initial operation:
Pretty huh? Congratulations to Rear Admiral Rachel Anumia and Ensign Cerian Quilor for their great work on the raid led by Grand Admiral Apollo and our thanks to our allies who supported us on this mission.
Jahka, Swakistek Hit The Bench! the Graz To Follow?At the start of President Skizzy Grey's term, the Judicial Government had a gap that needed some filling. The opportunity was there to fill that gap with one of the usual suspects, one of the usual names that get waved about at these things. However President Skizzy Grey, seeing that there were already seasoned Jurists already present, had decided to allow someone different to prove themselves. Someone away from the small, core group who have previously dominated the Europeian Judiciary for last year or so. Speaking from personal experience, President Skizzy Grey felt that...
I believe Judicial experience is overrated -- high activity levels and good critical reasoning skills are more important. Jahka possesses both in spades. I'm convinced he will be an excellent Justice.
As another position became vacant for an Associate Justice which
Swakistek was nominated and quickly approved for by the Senate. Swak's previous qualifications for this role were self-evident for the Senate and a full AYE was given. Finally,
the Graz is currently being nominated, and discussed, to replace
Anumia as his term comes to an end. the Graz will be resigning from the Senate to focus on the Judiciary.
The recent nominations and the turnover of Associate Justices shows that Europeia will always give opportunities to a wide spectrum of people, and that devotion and interest can be, if not more, important as experience.
Why does it always end this way when Europeia has an open bar event? As always, you can find Europeia
here and our doors are always open to a friendly stranger?
