Thank you for your welcome, Haor Chall. Sorry I haven't been back by sooner, but I am here at last to open and update this consulate!
News From Aberdeen!
Greetings! Aberdeen has been doing well lately, very busy, and its good to see that The North Pacific is doing well also! Well, here’s what’s going on –
Our regional nation count has climbed back up to 113 thanks in large part to our new Minister of Immigration, Hekloslogravia, and his deputies (PGrier and Piemunchingsickclobs). After we had dropped to 109, a concerted effort has been made to halt the recent decline due to nation die-off.
GOVERNMENT –
-Aberdeen’s 10th bill was defeated this week by 5 votes to 3. The Bill, peacekeeping force legislation, was Dancing Bananland's first bill to go to vote. One reason given for the failure of this legislation was the concern voiced regarding having a powerful regional army directly controlled by the Prime Minister (“Can we say Star Wars and the rise of Palpatine” - Bloopa)? See the final vote and read the failed Bill HERE
Coretta, our new Minister for Internal Affairs and the Regional Court, has announced his 3 associate judges who will help him in the Court. The Senior Associate Judge is Khaoz, and Dancing Bananland and Imperfectior are Associate judges
The very long bill 11, “Rules for Judiciary Conduct and Procedure,” has ended debate and is currently being voted upon - Read bill and debate HERE.
MP candidates have been announced - PGrier, Mittsville, and Forgottenlord's X-Box (yes, I know, it sounds like somthing the region of Hyrule would do...
). Voting will begin the first day of April. Story can be found HERE.
Aberdeen has recently re-established diplomatic relations with the GRA (Global Right Alliance), and has opened Embassies in the following regions in the past couple weeks –
-Stephensonia
-The Lexicon
-Liberalia
-Scroll Islands
-The North Pacific (consulate)
RP –
News from the nations:
After the outbreak of civil war, the Kief of Hekloslogravia and his son have both been killed. Dancing Bananaland, Mittsville, and PGrier have come to the aid of the government, supporting the “legitimate” government, while Forgottenlord has moved his army into Hekloslogravia for "peacekeeping." Follow this breaking story HERE
-Dancing Bananaland, Mittsville, Forgotten Territories and Coretta have all started space programs in anticipation of a future RP.
Imperfectian Speaker of the House Jonathan Nobel was assassinated via poison at second Eramia Peace Summit. Imperfectia has since elected a new Speaker, Michael Carmack. Other national delegates from Angel Fire, Dancing Bananaland, Coretta and Bloopa were held for a five day period almost resulting in a crisis between the government of Eramia and the other nations
Other news:
-Massive violent crime rise in Dancing Bananaland following terrorist attack.
-Record storm hits Isle Fandango, set to hit northern TEN Island, though weekend.
-Coretta and New Coretta enter peace talks, things look hopeful.
That is all for now from the region of Aberdeen! As always, keep in touch!

Government activity -
We recently held MP elections and since there were really only two candidates (our Prime Minister, Forgottenlord, introduced a third candidate, Forgottenlord's X-Box so as to make the elections a little more interesting, but needless to say the X-Box lost - probably because more nations in Aberdeen prefer the Playstation consoles over the x-box ) there was no real doubt who would win.
The nations of Mittsville, and PGrier are now Aberdeen's two official MPs. You can read the election announcement HERE.
In other government news the Minister of Immigration, Hekloslogravia, was brought up on charges in the regional court for spamming the region by repeating the same words to a song over and over again in posts on both the RMB and the forum. This was the first case to be heard under the new Law 8, Judiciary Act. Heklo pleaded guilty (more because he didn't want to be the show trial for the new law than because he thought he had actually spammed). Read HERE for the verdict and the transcript of the trial.
Aberdeen has entered into an alliance (defensive) with Flavian Amphitheatre. This brings our allies to a total of three regions (Hyrule and Futaba Aoi being the others)
A consulate was also opened in the region of Jethnea.
In Legislative news, Bill 11 was passed and became Law 8 (mentioned above), and Bill 12, Regulations Regarding Unclaimed Territory, is currently at vote.
There have been calls for Government reform and the region is currently waiting for reform proposals from Hekloslogravia.
Mittsville, as part of his duty as Minister of Cartography has created more colorful map of Aberdeen:
One final note, our region's founder, Dundee East, has sent a mass email to all registered forum users, in order to promote the forum and hopefully entice a few people back.
Roleplaying -
One of the most popular and long standing RP is still the revolution in Hekloslogravia. Read HERE to see all the action.
Forgottenlord and Dancing Bananland are still RPing out the aftermath of the terrorist attack in DBL. You can read the last few entries HERE.
There has been talk of doing a couple different RPs on the forum as well. A possible "alternate history" American Civil War is currently being planned (read here) and a possible alien invasion RP is being discussed too.
As you can read, much has been happening in Aberdeen! Thanks for reading, and until the next update, keep in touch! B)

Recent Forum activity has been very high for Aberdeen's standards - we have averaged well over 100 posts a day with around 250 posts last Friday alone. Aberdeen is once again "chatty," with conversations taking place on several different areas of the region!
It seems that the mass email our founder sent out to encourage more forum activity had the effect of bringing nations back to the game. Two nations that were former cabinet members both revived their nations, Blackrock64 (held the position of Sec. of State in the first Aberdeen government last spring and summer), and Bloopa (one of the first MPs elected last January). It should also be noted that Capitalist Neutrality (formerly Sec. of Interior and former AMID Director), while not being gone completely, has once again become active on the forum. B)
A new IRC chat was set up by Dundee East. Read all about it HERE.
Government activity:
- The biggest government news is that the calls for a restructured government, as noted in the last update by Hekloslogravia, have not only picked up steam, but seem to have carried the day. The Founder, Dundee East, and the PM, Forgottenlord, have both offered different ideas on how government reform should happen. It should also be mentioned here that these suggested reforms will actually make Aberdeen a more democratic region, with the emphasis on how we can transition some positions to become elected posts, rather than appointed posts. More details wil be announced as they are determined.
- Bill 12 (Regulations regarding unclaimed territory, authored by Dancing Bananland) was defeated in a tie vote. A ruling by the regional court in regards to Bill 8 (Embassy Security, authored by Bloopa), which also ended in a tie, stated that a tie was not a majority and therefore failed.
- Bill 13 (Regional Military Emergency Response, authored by Dancing Bananland) is currently up for debate. For the current debate on this bill read THIS thread.
- Blackrock64 was named Deputy of Foreign Relations and given several embassies to supervise. Given that his former government position was foreign relations, there is little doubt that the will do well in his new role. Read HERE for the formal announcement.
- Aberdeen has opened formal diplomatic ties with the region of Canada. We look forward to a long friendship with their illustrious region!
RP activity:
- The "Heart of Darkness" thread is a new storyline that takes place on the ashes of a former nation with the premise of a corrupt army general gone native, looking to establish his own nation, Hendricksonia. Read all of the action HERE
- After a period of inactivity (most of the past week), several of the older RPs are picking up where they left off (these include, "The Jail Cell," "Revolution in Hekloslogravia," and "Terrorist Attack in Dancing Bananland."
Special Announcement:
It has been brought up that Aberdeen will be celebrating its first anniversary on May 6.
To celebrate the occasion, a committee has been formed (Aberdeen Celebration Committee - ACC) and charged with sponsoring a big gala event. All nations from regions we have diplomatic ties with are invited to a big shindig to take place on the Aberdeen forum, Saturday May 6. There will be parties, RPs, LOTS of polls, and several other special events planned to take place. All are invited and welcome to join us as we celebrate Aberdeen turning 1! Keep your eyes open for a more formal invitation to appear in each of our embassies next week.That's what has been happening in Aberdeen. And now we return you to your regularly scheduled show...

As of late, there has been a TGing campaign underway to increase region participation and get more of our nations onto the forum. This effort seems to have helped some, but the effects have been counter-balanced by many of our more active nations taking a break or having to deal with RL issues...
Here's what else is happening in Aberdeen:
Government activity:
- In a not so suprising move, the Minister of Immigration, Hekloslogravia announced his resignation from the cabinet effective June 1. Our PM, Forgottenlord has named PGrier, a MP and Deputy of Recruitment as the new Min. of Immigration. PGrier has worked with the immigration ministry for the past 6 months so the entire region feels good about his appointment and know that the ministry will be in capable hands. We also wish Heklo luck with his next endeavors.
- Another cabinet resignation was announced when Imperfectia announced his resignation as Min. of FR due to RL issues and other game commitments. To quote Imperfectia:
- With the appointment of PGrier to Min. of Immigration, Forgottenlord has called an election in June to fill the vacant MP seat left by PGrier's move. So far two candidates have stepped forward and announced thier candidacy: Hekloslogravia and newcomer Metis Liberation Front. Campaigning is currently underway with elections scheduled somtime first of next week.
- Since our last update the HoM (House of Members) has been busy crafting new legislation. Here is the latest on the addition and changing of Aberdeen Law:
Bill 13 - Regional Military Emergency Response Procedure, written by Dancing Bananland was defeated by a vote of 7-2.
Bill 14 - Repeal of Law 6, written by Imperfectia, was passed and became Law 9 by a vote of 5 for, 1 against and 2 abstain.
Bill 15 - Regional Tax and Budgeting Code, written by Coretta, is currently up for vote.
- Dancing Bananland has announced that he has appointed Metis Liberation Front as the second deputy of AMID.
- The month of May also witnessed 5 new nations signing and accpecting the Aberdeen Constitution: Gis, Kudo Slavia, Sayt, Metis Liberation Front, and Bobolinks.
RP activity:
- Someone (or some group) has stolen a prototype of a new jet fighter from Dancing Bananland. Who was it? What kind of capabilities does this plane have? Read HERE to see how this story unfolds...
- The Greater Commonwealth of Coretta was scheduled to execute 73 prisoners at 12:01, May 30. Read HERE for the press release. These executions have sparked several national leaders to express thier deep regret and misgivings regarding the Corettans actions. See HERE to read thier official letters of displeasure.
And that concludes the news from Aberdeen. We now go live to our coverage of the Dundee East bagpipping contest usually scheduled for ESPN 8, "The Ocho," but brought to you today by popular demand...

- With Prime Minister elections coming up soon, Dundee East, founder, has proposed a new Regional Charter that is currently being debated by the House of Members.

Great Aberdonian War
Northern Front
A force composed of mainly Hendricksonians, assisted by the Hekloslogravian Army, has liberated the city of Stenchiko from UKTGM occupation after a grueling siege. Presently, components of the Hendricksonian and Hekloslogravian Armies are pushing south.
Andyan Front
After making peace with the United Kingdoms of Trans-Galasia and Moravia, Andany turned around, and attacked them. After being hit by UKTGM nuclear attacks, Andany is preparing for a UKTGM invasion by sea, and from the occupied regions in the north and south of the bordering nation of Mittsville.
Eastern Front
The Duchy of Earl has occupied and annexed most of Dancing Bananland, though some of the Dancing Bananlandian Army, hiding in the mountainous northern region of the nation, continues to resist under the direction of General Krull.
In Alzgor, the nation's small navy put up a brave fight against the forces of the Duchy of Earl, but have been all but destroyed. The Duchy of Earl is now preparing to invade Alzgor.
