Union Establishes Monarchy; Kanglia Declared King
by Khevo​

In the late hours of March 31st, the regional forum went down for “maintenance.” However, following an Executive Decree from President Nuevo San Miguel, longtime citizen and armchair Kanglia was declared King and the forum was reopened under a fresh, new, monarchical theme. During the ensuing festivities, Glacio Revera of Ravana and King Kanglia were wed and the Church of Whitehall was established to worship Thatchism - a religion structured around the impending return of the UDS founder. The new forum and monarchy were kept in place until The Noble Thatcherites’ return on April 4th, at which point the region was reverted to its previous state.

March Senate Election
by Khevo​

UDS Senate Elections began in the last week of March. Chancellor Khevo opened nominations on March 25 and the election began on March 27, with five candidates - Druing, Asdersland, Glaciosia, Kanglia, and We The People Gouvernor - running. When results were announced, there was some initial chaos as the Chancellors declared the Zuk (Guess and Check), the resident goose, the first-placed victor and that Re-Open Nominations, the region’s favorite perennial candidate, had placed above multiple candidates. However, these events were soon revealed to have been a Chancellor-planned April Fools’ Day joke - in truth, all candidates were elected and thus inaugurated a few days later.

World Assembly Advisory Board
by Asdersland​

The World Assembly Advisory Board has been formed in order to act as a corps for the World Assembly apparatus in the Union of Democratic States. Its main function is to advise the World Assembly Delegate on a course of action on General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, but it will also have a significant effect in the organization of the various affairs of the World Assembly, including awards, our relations with the Partnership for Sovereignty, and recruitment.

Chairperson Election
by Josephto​

Following the election of Nuevo San Miguel and Zeneste as President and Vice President, respectively, Zeneste resigned as Chairperson of the General Assembly. As per the Constitution, a by-selection for the position was conducted by the newly-sworn-in President. Deputy Chair Josephto ran against former President Druing, WA Delegate Asdersland, and former President Phoenix. Josephto won with 8 votes to Phoenix’s 4 votes and Asdersland’s 1 vote. Josephto was subsequently sworn in to finish Zeneste’s term.

Formatting Committee Publishes Report
by Glaciosia​

One of the longest-term projects of the UDS - in progress since nearly the beginning of the current constitutional era - has completed its work. The formatting committee, established under UL-001, drafted a comprehensive standard format for the laws of the Union to follow.

UDSAF Update
by Kade​

The UDSAF continued to work with interregional allies in support of defending the Nationstates community. Notable liberations this month included The Arab League, Merciam, and Warzone Africa. We also supported our allies in the Philippines following their delegate change.
