Europeia Turns 10 at Euro10
A Decade of Europeia will be a five-day celebration running March 6 through March 11 where Europeia commemorates ten years of being a region. It will feature guest speakers, mini-games, trivia contests, and a Region-Building Conference where founders from around NationStates will speak on their experiences in creating a region! Stop by to sign the guestbook, and stay for the fun!
Electoral Season
The past two months have seen a series of elections in Europeia, with candidates posting platforms and citizens participating in two senate and one presidential election.
Europeia elected a new Senate in December. One more seat than last term had to be filled, and seven candidates were entrusted with the esteemed office. Calvin Coolidge, Skizzy Grey, and Possibly This were all tied, and a runoff election had to be held to determine the winner of the seventh seat. Possibly this came out as winner.
Europeia's junior legislative body, the Citizens' Assembly, also held an election for its Chair. Grizzli, XIV, and Emil Seidel all ran for the post, with Grizzli claiming victory with more than half of the 52 votes cast.
In the most recent presidential election, Aexnidaral Seymour ticketed with Brunhilde and ran unopposed for the presidency and vice presidency of the region. Facing the potential of re-opening the election, the ticket collected more than 80 percent votes cast to secure Goldenblock, the official residence of the president of Europeia. With more than 80 votes cast, the turnout represented the second highest in Europeia history.
These elections in Europeia have demonstrated the region's political vibrancy, offering opportunities to newcomers and veterans alike to seek, and succeed in, political office. The next election in Europeia is the Senate election, for which standing is currently underway.

Valentine's Day in Europeia
The Valentine's Day Celebration occurred on February 14, and included a number of activities for Europeia's love-struck citizens.
A screening of Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio served as the feature film for the celebration, while games such as "We Ship It", "Love Captions", "Heart Attack", and a Mixlr Dating Game rounded out the event's festivities.
We Ship It
This past Valentine's Day, Lethen and Sopo sought to recreate the magic of a certain deviant Valentine's Day thread from a few years ago while keeping things a bit... more... civil. The answer? A Europeian Dating Fanfic Roleplay game where Europeians had the opportunity to step into the shoes of one of their region-mates on a blind date. The event was a success, with players representing prominent Europeians from President Aexnidaral Seymour to Associate Justice OnderKelkia. Here's a highlight from the latter:
Common-Sense Politics as OnderKelkia:
Heart Attack
As one of the mini-games for the Valentine's Day celebration, we played a little game called Heart Attack. How this worked is that a Private Message would be sent out on the forum to a small group of members with a positive message on it. Those members would then add their own positive message onto the telegram, then send it out to another small group of people. Through this method, a very large chain message is eventually achieved.
ERN Blasts Away Opposition!
The Europeian Republican Navy, one of the most skilled and professional military forces in NationStates, has continued to showcase its speed and precision in a series of delegate-toppling raids so far in February, including Eurasian Socialist Union, 32 County Irish Republic and Mazeria, where we even had the pleasure of teaching a new group of would-be raiders how to do their job. Our latest raid was in SPACE where a new record was set for triggering. Moreover, the operations were lead and triggered by a diverse group, due to our emphasis on spreading training throughout all our ranks. The ERN ensures excellence and skill for every sailor and officer - joining the ERN and actively engaging with our operations remains a surefire path to military glory and success.
But the ERN does not only fight under its own banners. Europeia has always done its best to stay at the forefront of interregional affairs through its diplomacy, and we furthered our ties and relationships with regional partners by helping The Kingdom of Great Britain take The Ezraltonian Region of World Affairs.
Under the leadership of longtime Grand Admiral and Imperator Common Sense Politics, The ERN stands only to continue progressing from strength to strength. For The Republic, for Glory!
Don't forget, Europeia's Tenth Anniversary celebration, Euro10, starts next week! For more information, visit this link.
Glad our friends in Europeia are doing well.
