Update

Sensational Senate Race


The recent Senate elections provided one of the most closely-fought and exciting races of the year, with nine candidates running for a mere six available seats. At the end of the elections, Malashaan, Pope Lexus X, Charlotte Shaw, Anumia, Modern Sin and Artimis Shaw became the region's new Senators. Malashaan was elected as Senate Speaker for yet another term.

Although the voting stage was particularly tense (as it expectedly led to a run-off election to fill the final couple of seats), the campaign stage also created some tension, with Europeian citizens spoilt for choice by the entry of a range of candidates into the battle, ranging from some of Europeia's oldest and most experienced minds, to relative newcomers.

What made it more exciting was the rise a certain topic: the possible repeal of the Mandatory Recruitment Act, a law which has sparked controversy since its implementation in 2012. So, if a debate on repealing the MRA does go ahead, it could change the legislative and political landscape of Europeia for good.

Navy Strikes Again


Earlier in September the Europeian Republican Navy, assisting the UIAF, moved in during the major update to capture Middle Earth. Defenders attempting a liberation were unsuccessful and booted from the Region. After a successful six days and fielding a combined 33 nations, seven of which were ERN personnel, the ERN returned home victorious once more.

At the same time, newly minted Ally, Mazeria, was experiencing a coup in one of their colonies Mediterrania. The ERN, fulfilling it treaty obligations and generally helping her friends, assisted with a few update nations to assist Mazeria in holding her colony.

Friends and Frivolities


Europeia is currently in the midst of it's leg of the Europe-Mazeria Festival to celebrate our recent treaty. Between both regions, we've had plenty of spam games, casual conversation, food, drinks and even a new Party Quirks RP to kick off our new friendship. Even though our festival is coming to a close in a few days, Europeia is proud to have been able to host the contingent from Mazeria. So, here's to you Mazeria. And may there be many more good times down the road.

Europeia is also currently planning for our upcoming festival with The North Pacific in which we expect to party until dawn, drinking all night and celebrating our new treaty as well. Be ready TNP because our parties are all fun, all the time.

Thank you for the update. I look forward to the culture festival, Lennart has quite a bit planned.
