A Message From the Minister
By Pendragonania


Heya folks it has been an awful long time since I had one of these issues made up and published. For that I am sorry, however in the last three months since our new years edition a lot of exciting stuff has happened here in TEP. Below we will break it down in step by step but a quick summary for you all here; Yuno's been reelected as the delegate, Respublika Bielarus stepped down from Provost and in his place now stands Asendavia, we have two new Vizers in the form of Drachen and Cain, TEP had a region wide April Fools prank in the form of the SC resolution to liberate a 'coup' within TEP (which by the way was a prank, we hope some of you at least had fun).

Now for the fun stuff going on inside the News Service. We've dropped the idea of a radio being made for now, we don't believe that it is going to be practical to have such a thing at this stage. We're recruiting more people and standardising our application into the Executive Staff application made by our darling Queen Yuno. We're trying to push activity and having people join us to allow us to do more regular updates, which is great for everyone. We understand not everyone has the time to check the various discords and the RMB every day, so a lot can be missed so we hope in the future we can do weekly updates for those who miss a lot.

Delegate Elections
By Pendragonania


In these most recent elections the following individuals were nominated;
Nominated Candidates [c] Accepted / Declined / Undetermined [c]Queen Yuno[c] Nominated, Accepted [c]Oan[c] Nominated, Declined [c]Pax[c] Nominated, Accepted [c]Trukya[c] Nominated, Accepted [c]TheGreenRenegade (Emperor Green II)[c] Nominated, Accepted [c]Todd McCloud[c] Nominated, Declined [c]Marilyn Manson[c] Self-Nominated, Seconded [c]Asendavia[c] Nominated, Declined [c]Republika Bielarus[c] Nominated, Declined

Out of these candidates the following made it to the ballot; Queen Yuno, Pax, Trukya, Marilyn Manson and Emperor Green II. Voting lasted four days for the first round however in an overwhelming shock victory one round was all it took for Yuno to take victory. Yuno won with an majority of 86.7% of the votes cast. Although with such an awesome delegate we kind of saw it coming.

Here is what Yuno had to say about her reelection;
Hai! You know it feels weird being here again to say something to you all as delegate, its been a fun six months so far and here's to more fun times to go! It honestly feels amazing that so many of you out there support me and what I am doing as Delegate and the only thing I can think to say here besides thank you, is I hope this next term brings so many more happy memories and an ever expanding Executive Staff team!

Farewell to Respublika Bielarus
By Pendragonania


Originally having joined the Magisterium in August of 2016, and then again in November 2016, Respublika quickly gained the respect of the people within the Magisterium. This was noted by many voters during his November Re Admission vote. Finally in January of 2017 Republika was elected as the Provost. And through sheer dedication we honestly believe he managed to expand the Magisterium from only a few members, to well over 20 which it currently stands at today. An honestly impressive task. Unfortunately a year after he was elected Respublika decided it was time to hand in the towel, shortly after being reelected in the January elections, he stepped down in February. In his time he made many friends in the Magisterium and was dedicated to the role he had, but like all great things they have to end at some point.

We hope to see him return some day, however the Magisterium has been put into capable hands in the form of Asendavia;

Induction of Cain as a vizer
By Pendragonania


Recently the Magisterium voted to add Cain to the team of vizers. Cain has a nation called Aeneas Prime and has been involved in the Executive Staff team for a long time now. The funny thing was he was who got me involved in the ES when I returned to TEP after 4 years so it feels great to be able to induct him into the hall of trusted members. Here is what he had to said

NationStates has been a passion of mine going on 15 years. During that time I have been involved in a myriad of regions and organizations covering almost every aspect of the game proper. When I have been actively playing, my primary concern has been focusing on the people that drive everything forward. My fellow NSers. Thus, when I am a member of government, regional leadership, or that of being apart of a group of community leaders like I believe many have categorized me in with regards to The East Pacific, I use all that I know and have learned in-game to help as well as protect my community. I see it as a responsibility of those whom have the know how and capability to act to ensure that it is, and to the letter. Being nominated by Delegate Yuno came honestly as a surprise, but not in the way that most would expect. Time has honestly flew right past me. Sure, we have had battles in The East Pacific and have ran into some rocky patches during her first term in office, but I believe that we all signed up for this. Our only goal - my only goal, continues to be to ensure that TEP is able to achieve its full potential and that those within our region feel that they are apart of an intricate apparatus where they can directly affect change and have their voice heard respectively. To this end, I am both honored and humbled by the region that I have chosen to call home. I am glad that I decided to come back to the game in Fall of last year despite significant RL events that were then on-going consuming much of my time and energy. I hope that I can continue to honor the values and virtues that our community represents well into the future.

Thank you. I love you all

Induction of Drachen as a vizer
By Pendragonania

So far this year we have seen two new vizers be appointed to the region. Like Cain, Drachen, serves in various ministries within the region. She also manages most of the discord servers within TEP, no small task to do each day. Like with Cain I wont comment much here, but here is what she has to say;


My becoming Vizier was certainly something I would have never anticipated, even in the recent months. I cannot say how grateful I am to the Loligarch for believing in me so much to have not only afforded me all these other roles within the executive but also nominated me for one the region's most important positions. It truly feels as if I have joined some exclusive club of protectors whose membership will be recorded and remembered years down the road. It's nothing less of an honor.

While it doesn't seem like I'll ever get to exercise my power as Vizier, which is fine by me because that would mean the region is facing a rouge delegate, I respect the position and the duty I have been given, Should the unfortunate moment ever come where TEP is threatened at the highest level, I will be there.

April Fools in TEP
By Pendragonania


So its hard to not speak about the elephant in the room, the coup d'etat. So what actually was it? The whole thing started when the SC published a liberate East Pacific resolution. So in the spirit of fun Queen Yuno took it upon herself to have some fun with the idea. Being good sports to make it more believable the RO was 'purged'. Which included at first the removal of Todd McCloud, Bachtendekuppen, and Aelitia Astor. Then in a way to try make it more realistic, I played the part of someone who was going to clamp down on it all and portrayed as a traitor and left the RO. Todd was restored afterwards as a show of loyalty for exposing myself. The Concordat was removed and replaced with the ELO (Eastern Loligarch Order). A few days went on it was becoming clear that it was getting out of hand. Insults were being thrown around on the RMB and the region started haemorrhaging endorsements and memberstates. This is when we decided to cut it short and highlight the fact it was merely a joke. The original idea was to reveal it on April Fools.

I'd like to take this time to officially apologise on behalf of the entire cabinet of ministers to all those negatively effected by this. We are back to a friendly democratic nation and we hope that if people who see this left the region, we are happy to have you back. We miss you <3
