HM Government Opens Talks with the Kingdom of Great Britain
In our last major update, we announced that we had opened discussions with the Kingdom of Great Britain (KoGB). We just wanted to thank the delegation from KoGB for the honest talks that we hosted and the resulting outcome, which shall be announced by both Prime Ministers over the course of the next week in a joint release - we are however, proud of the steps we have taken to continue building our friendship.

St. Patrick's Day
We hope you all enjoyed St Patrick's Day; we know that we certainly did! You might remember us mentioning that we were going to host a forum wide festival in celebration of St. Patrick - well, we did just that! Over the course of the last week, we've hosted 12 different events across our forum in order to celebrate St. Paddy! Some of these events included participation in our usual cultural activities, such as Constituency Battles, Avatar Contests and Word Association. We saw the introduction some new SPAM games; Famous Irish People, First to Last: Beers Edition, and Irish Provinces Spam Points! In addition, the Prime Minister and Sir George Wessex hosted an event at their Estate, Ashbourne.

This week was pretty slow in posting, especially spam posting. Perhaps it's the continued effects of the spam cap, or maybe it's because some were occupied over Spring Break, but this week, nobody hit the spam cap. In fact, if you added together every spam post we all made this week, you'd still be just short of the cap. As a result, non-spam posts were once again the deciding factor, in which case the Most Posts bonus went to Lucas of Team Wales. The top five in general post count were as follows: Lucas (50), Long and Mike tied (35), Akillian (30), and Andrew (22).

In the weekly bonuses, Wales (as usual) took home the bonuses for Highest Quiz Average (thanks to Mike and Lucas) and Most Used Business (for Everyday Productions), but it at long last, Akillian finally secured the Most Business Posts bonus for Team Scotland, by a margin of one post! (He'd actually have increased that margin to about six posts, but the cutoff occurred in the middle of the Know Your Opponents round, so those will count for next week.) In addition, Akillian was awarded the Most Topics bonus, with six topics started this past week.
