This election was a fierce and competitive one, with four candidates who ran with an eventual dropout, leaving the polls with three candidates in the end. With polls having closed 7 hours ago, the winner of the election came out to be the ticket of JayDee and Pichtonia. We’ll be going over the election results and the President’s opening speech in this article.
The results of the election was a fairly decent race between President JayDee and Kazaman, with both respectively ending the polls with the President ahead and coming out to 52.9 percent and Kazaman coming to 38.2 percent! The third candidate, McEntire came in last at 8.8 percent. It was a great race and an honor for us to report and proceed to the live blog over the debate. If you’re interested in seeing what the campaigns for everyone was, feel free to look at the links that will be offered below! Now, to move on to the President’s opening address!

The President’s speech starts out by him addressing the “ideals of collaboration and working hard together” something which was very important in his campaign. Following his speech, President JayDee published his nominations for Cabinet and hosted a live reaction show on air for everyone. The Cabinet has received initially positive reviews, with many citing it as a, particularly fresh Cabinet. The President agreed with the assessment, claiming in the Radio show revealing his Cabinet that it was "one of the freshest but also one of the most experienced Cabinets."

In a weekend of votes, the citizens of Europeia elected their new Senate.

62 citizens voted for the Senate seat size. With a plurality of 29 votes, citizens voted for expanding the size of the Senate from the minimum of five seats to seven seats.

Six of the twelve candidates were elected in a first round of voting: Lloenflys, Common-Sense Politics and Ellenburg are all returning to the Senate after some absence, Senators Prim and Gem defended their Senate seats, and Elio and ICH were elected to the Senate for the first time. 

With 78 voters, voter turnout even exceeded that of the previous Presidential election.

Candidates McEntire and Ellenburg were tied for the seventh seat and entered a runoff election, which Ellenburg won with 45 to McEntires 27 votes.
The general senate election traditionally and legally marks the halfway point for the President and their government, too. 

In reflecting on his term so far, President Pland Adanna talked about the successes and struggles of his government.]]>

Pland/Forilian Sails To The Goldenblock
Pland/Forillian edges out Rand/Maowi in the fiercely fought election.
Written by ICH

Pland Adanna/Forilian secured a stunning victory over the outgoing President Rand and Maowi by a 53.3%-46.7% margin, in a major shock to political observers across Europeia. President Rand was the favorite to secure another term in office, with opinion polls suggesting a comfortable victory for him. But, a well-received platform centered on fresh reforms along with a strong get-out-the-vote campaign propelled Pland Adanna and Forilian to the Goldenblock

Rand entered his re-election campaign riding high on a successful term in which Europeia transitioned into a frontier region. Initial polling conducted by the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation gave Rand the upper hand, with a 96.4% approval rating and 57.1% of the respondents backing his ticket with Maowi, the outgoing Minister of Outreach who replaced Writinglegend on the bottom half of the ticket, compared to just 17.9% for the Pland/Forilian ticket. But Pland/Forillian clawed back the early advantage of the Rand/Maowi ticket, running on an energetic platform of implementing a system of Advisors, splitting the radio and communication ministries, and rejuvenating the ambassador program among many other proposed reforms.

Additionally, a foreign affairs incident evolved as former TNP Minister of Foreign Affairs Madjack was declared persona non grata by the Europeian Government. Even though a substantial majority of the respondents in an EBC exit poll approved of the decision to PNG Madjack, a small but still significant proportion of the respondents (18.5%) disagreed with the decision, raising the possibility that a small swing precipitated by this incident affected the outcome, as suggested by notable political observers such as Kazaman.

Pland positioned himself as the candidate of "change" and "fresh leadership" with Rand promising to bring "the same flame and in-the-trenches leadership I have employed — as Speaker and President — to this coming term." In the final days of the campaign, Pland drew clear contrast with the previous term, pointing out that the Rand Administration "did come up short on several key initiatives."

On the eve of voting day, Pland’s campaign was further boosted by key endorsements from UPC and Istillian. This, coupled with Pland’s late campaign comments against the outgoing Rand Administration which political observers like Lloenflys noted “were extremely well done tactically”, gave the Pland/Forilian ticket much-needed momentum going into the voting day.

As the voting opened, Pland/Forilian opened up a significant lead early on, much to the contrary of what the opinion polls suggested. Even though the gap narrowed throughout the voting period, it didn’t prove to be enough for the Rand/Maowi ticket. 75 citizens voted in the election, an increase of more than 10% compared to the previous presidential election.

As the Pland/Forilian ticket consolidated its lead, the outgoing President Rand conceded the election to Pland and Forilian saying, “As I stand on the front porch of Goldenblock with my bags packed, I am happy for my friend, President-elect Pland Adanna, who I am sure will do a great job as President.”

The new Pland Adanna Administration has already hit the ground running, with nominations to all Cabinet Offices and judicial positions announced which are now being processed in the Senate at the time of writing. The nominee for Foreign Advisor, Kazaman, was quickly confirmed by the Senate in order to handle the ongoing foreign affairs incident.

Rounding out the foreign ministries is Minister of Foreign Affairs nominee Sanjurika, Grand Admiral nominee Maowi, and returning World Assembly Affairs nominee PaleLand. The domestic ministries will be headed by Domestic Advisor Istillian, and those nominated include Communications Minister nominee HEM, Gameside Minister nominee Pichtonia, Culture nominee Spagtop, Radio Minister nominee JayDee, and Outreach Minister Seva. Lloenflys has been nominated as the Attorney General while Darcness has been nominated to fill a vacancy in the High Court.]]> [Image: EvOqadn.png]

LLOENFLYS DEFEATS OLDE DELAWARE, ELECTED PRESIDENT

Written by PhDre
Edited by Maowi
Written and Published by the EBC; Edited by Pland Adanna to reflect changes since original publication
Arnhelm, Europeia - Senator Lloenflys defeated Olde Delaware in the first Presidential election of 2023, with 38 of 63 votes (60.3%). Lloenflys’ ascent to the Presidency marks his first time in the Office, and Olde Delaware’s second loss in a row.
The election period started quietly, as former President Icarus indicated she would not run for re-election. After Olde Delaware stood with running mate Sopo, Lloenflys waited two days before running with Kuramia as his Vice President. “I went from planning to run just so that there was a choice at the ballot box to running because I want to run,” Lloenflys confirmed.
Candidates participated in a Discord text debate, which did little to change the toss-up nature of the election. On Election Day, Lloenflys jumped out to an early lead, and the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation conducted a live-blog with prominent Europeians.
In his first Presidential address, Lloenflys urged Europeian citizens with a “call to action if you have the time to serve – there has perhaps never been a better time to step up, seize the initiative, and get your name into consideration as a future leader.”
The Senate confirmed each of the President Lloenflys's Cabinet nominees, listed below:
Attorney General - Boisenburg
Grand Admiral - Cove
Minister of Communications - PhDre
Minister of Culture - Hezekon
Minister of Foreign Affairs - Writinglegend
Minister of Interior - Vor
Minister of RMB Affairs - Olde Delaware
Minister of World Assembly Affairs - Maowi
The president introduced a new position called the “Ministry of RMB” headed by Presidential opponent Olde Delaware (OD). One citizen, former President Pichtonia, mused that “OD clearly put a lot of research and enthusiasm into the RMB section of his campaign during the election… I'd definitely give him the benefit of the doubt.”  The Ministry of RMB would be responsible for considering potential reforms to Europeia’s regional message board, and engaging with the gameside community.]]>

A proposed update to NationStates, tentatively called “Democracy/Autocracy”, has led to an active discussion on the technical forums. Recently, the President of Europeia released a statement announcing Europeia’s opposition to the update. In such a statement, the President lays out the flaws that come with the update and the downfalls which, critically, fail to address issues that do "need fixing”, and instead, tries to “shoehorn R/D into the game and to penalize anyone who doesn’t wish to participate.” Such an update proves to be unhealthy and fails to solve our existing problems.

We at Europeia wanted to wish you a happy new year, and hope you ended 2020 on a high note, celebrating with your friends and family.

2020 has been a difficult year for us, but we’ve seen that the NationStates community is more resilient than ever. Among real-life issues like the pandemic causing us to change our way of life, we’ve seen our online community flourish and grow closer than ever before.

Europeia has had her own share of events this year, ranging from big ones like the re-merge of our executive to a single president, and a new world assembly delegate, but also smaller ones such as welcoming newer citizens during the Drew Boom, finally playing on a regional minecraft server, and attending NS-wide events like N-day and UCR Con!

We hope that your regional community has continued to grow closer together and stronger during the course of this year, and we are excited to see what 2021 will bring to the nationstates community. We are glad to have had you by our sides this year, and look forward to continuing to work with you.

Here’s to a great year, and onwards to 2021!

(Europeia - November 26, 2020) President Peeps announced the treaty of Cairdeas with new ally Caer Sidi on November 19. In the announcement, President Peeps described the proposed amendments of the treaty.

"I submit for ratification the Treaty of Cairdeas, an alliance with Caer Sidi. We have enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Caer Sidi for some time now, with our regions having celebrated a Region of the Week not to long ago and frequently cooperating militarily. The latter especially caused us to decide to pursue a full treaty immediately, rather than a Non-Aggression Pact. I look forward to continued cooperation and friendship under this agreement. [...] Finally, the name, Cairdeas, is the Irish word for friendship, which we thought quite fitting."

The treaty was supported by most senators immediately, After some concerns about the language and nature of the treaty were discussed, Speaker Lime moved the treaty to a vote.

The treaty was passed unanimously 5-0-0 on Tuesday, November 24.

Europeian Republican Navy Twelve Month Cumulative Report

Contact Information (Discord): Istillian#0676

(Europeia, October 26, 2020) – The Europeian Republican Navy (ERN) has recently conducted a review of its level of operations and target hit rate from the last twelve months, inclusive of joint holds and allied operations. After suffering from a period of somewhat quiet decline from mid-2019, the ERN is now seeing encouraging levels of operations being run, and many sailors being trained for leadership.

In October 2019, the ERN was involved in a total of four operations, gaining a total of 19 targets hit. However, notably, over the next seven months (until May 2020), the ERN ran, or were involved in, a total of 11 operations, garnering a total amount of 14 targets hit.

With a recent rejuvenation of it's forces, starting in the June of 2020, the ERN is now seeing high levels of capability, culminating in the highest series of operations run, and targets hit, in the month of October 2020. 21 operations have been run so far over the last month, and 121 targets were hit.

A graphical analysis from the last twelve months follows:

Although the ERN has recently changed some of its tactics to focus on competitive challenges between its sailors, the demand for training from its own forces, and the scouting for new enlistee's, remains a high priority.
