Taijituan Revolutionary Calendar, new title and motto adopted by Ecclesia

Citizens carry new calendars on horseback to Taijituan towns and celebrate the new method of daykeeping.
The Taijituan Revolutionary Calendar, designed by Citizen-Initiator Gulliver, was officially adopted as the working calendar of Taijitu by the Ecclesia last week. Comprising twelve months, each month divided into three ten or eleven day weeks, the calendar begins on 1 Ventaire - August 26, in the old system. This date marks the start of Taijitu's Glorious Revolution, which brought direct democracy to our region.
Designed to overthrow the arbitrary and pre-revolutionary system of timekeeping, the new calendar has months named after the seasons and days named after either their position in the week or Taijituan values. For example, the tenth day of the week, Ecclesidi, is named after the legislature that governs Taijitu. A mockup of this year's calendar is available for public viewing here.
As well as the new calendar, the Ecclesia also voted to adopt a new regional title. Taijitu is now known as the Citizens' Democracy of Taijitu. This replaces the old regional title, Free Land, and is intended to celebrate the ideals of the Glorious Revolution.
With a similar intention, Taijitu changed its old motto, "We bow to no one", to the considerably more revolutionary "Voulez-vous donc qu'on vous fasse des revolutions à l'eau-rose?". Translated from the French, this means "Do you think then, that revolutions are made with rose water?", and is intended to be a comment on the hard work that has brought Taijitu back from the brink of death.
Citizen-Delegate elections underway

Citizens meet at a statue depicting Liberty after casting their votes in the election for Citizen-Delegate.
Taijitu's first Citizen-Delegate elections since the start of the Glorious Revolution have started this week. Incumbent Allama faces experienced former Chairman of Lazarus Funkadelia, as well as relative newcomer Kardex for the delegate seat.
Allama has been a member of Taijitu almost since the beginning, starting in 2007 after Taijitu was founded. This summer she was elected delegate in an uncontested race, and has helped helm the region through the turbulent first few months. A crowd favorite, she campaigns on a more open executive, promising to surround herself with members who are experts in various fields essential to the running of the region.
She faces Funkadelia, former Chairman of Lazarus and currently a member of the NPO. Having joined Taijitu in 2012, he was one of the few Taijituans who stayed in the region during its most recent period of inactivity, helping the Glorious Revolution in its earliest stages with his extensive knowledge of modern gameplay. Funkadelia campaigns on his great experience leading regions of great size and pledges to help make Taijitu a well-known UCR again.
The third contender is Kardex, a Taijituan who moved to the region recently. Kardex received praise for his honest, open, and concise performance during the Delegate Debate last week. Kardex campaigns on a platform of sensibility, pledging to keep Taijitu independent and the Ecclesia the ultimate power in the regional government.
The regional election ends on 1 Gaiose (December 26), and is open to all citizens of Taijitu.
This was posted a little late, but the elections ended with Allama winning a second term as Citizen-Delegate!
