New Appointments:

I) FOREIGN AFFAIRS:

i) GREECE:

The tragic events in Greece after the Persian founder Yauna resurrected, which resulted in eviction of Greeks and the CoC military presence was deeply imprinted in the minds of all. Sassanid Empire, the new Persian Delegate of Greece has declared enmity with CoC which is reflected in the WFE of the region. The CoC had stood by it's Greek friends in their struggle for their legitimate homeland which has been usurped by the Persians.

Here is the WFE of Greece wherein the Persian Occupiers have declared war on us:-

ii) The CoC congratulated Pharaoh Cormac Stark in his successful attempt in winning back the delegacy of Osiris which was couped by Gatesville.

iii) THE COALITION OF SOVEREIGN STATES:-

The Commonwealth Army password protected the the Coalition of Sovereign States--a region whose founding fathers and other members have joined CoC in a merger effort.


II) INTERNAL AFFAIRS:

i) Nations departing and ceasing to exist plagued CoC as the attrition rate could not fight off the immigration. As a result we lost a sizeable number of members. The API key also could not yield much results.

ii) July was a bad month for the region as we lost quite a few senior and active members due to mis-understandings which could have been avoided.
Midway in the 11th REC 's tenure , the region was rocked by allegations of the Chancellor using arm-twisting tactics and corruption to gain control of a small region called The Commonwealth Empire. The allegations were spearheaded by the vocal delegate from a nation widely known for his differences with the Chancellor, his Intra-region Spy agency and anti-Imperialist views and the issue virtually kept the region on it's toes for quite a number of days. The Chancellor defended the allegations of corruption pointing to salient features of the Constitution which allowed the Chancellor to offer any cabinet post to any member.

Questions on the future of the CoC army and the CoC's future as a gameplaying region ( which was under serious attack by the said nation) and the REC's efficacy in governing the region vis-a-vis the untenable demands , were also raised by the Chancellor . The RMB was in fire and vitriol was free flowing as members traded charges and counter charges.
In the midst of the ruckus, Wiendonia, an erstwhile declared enemy of the region entered the region and requested to be accepted.While the call mounted on the Chancellor to ban Wiendonia, the Chancellor stood his ground and started a poll for the Assembly to take this decision as he felt that all his actions would be negatively judged by detractors.
​

The last straw from detractors came in the form of allegation of lack of transparency in th part of the Chancellor on the issue of defense of Greece. Since Greece was a cause which was well informed and known to all and well recorded in the past foreign updates too, the detractor's tirade lost steam.
As a corollary to this incident, Belhorizon emigrated to TAR and therafter normalcy and peace returned to the region. Wiendonia was also promptly banjected from the region in favour of public demand.

III) ROLE PLAY:
Many RPs are continuing presently in the forum. To name a few, The Downfall of the Royal Eagle , An Awakening, The Fundiroobain uprising 2.0 are some of the well attended RPs that are continuing now.

Allegations of mixing FT with MT resulted in Vetega, a founding nation, leaving the region to chart it's own course.

IV) CROWNS ASSEMBLY NEWS:

1. Proposed (and primarily drafted )by Unified Hawaiian Islands and contributed virtually by the whole region in the Assembly debate, a new Constitution was debated upon widely and ultimately put to vote. at the time of writing this update, the vote on the new Constitution is in full swing. The new Constitution amalgamated erstwhile rules and regulations and made a consolidated document for ease of operations.
While it preserved many features like a 5 membered REC and the Helladric Reforms, it also included the hardline Monarchjist only demands in it, made the Lord Commander's vote in the REC a tie breaking one, instead of a regular vote.

The Constitution was widely hailed by all and addresses the concern of many members. The credit goes to UHI , who has been able to successfully capture the imagination and aspirations of the region in a single document.

The 2013 Constitutional Convention in session:

V) INTERNATIONAL CROWNS COURT:

The 3 member ICC assumed office, with San Monteriano and UHI getting the highest Assembly votes. San Monteriano having the most votes became the Chief Justice. Zargonias was elected as the REC nominee in the ICC unanimously. This signified a return of the ex-ILN members into active positions of power in the region.
