Following diplomatic discussions over recent weeks, the governments of Thaecia and Lone Wolves United drafted the Lupercalia Alliance. This agreement codifies the diplomatic and military relationship between two regions whom seen many interactions together and has been ratified by both regions this month. Considered as a natural progression of the relationship between our two regions, we look forward to future cooperation resulting from it.

The Treaty was passed by the Senate with 6 Ayes and 1 Abstention.
Following the removal of the Presidency, and its replacement by the Delegacy in April, the position of Vice-Delegate has been added in the Constitution. Bearing no power outside direct succession in lieu of vacancy of the Delegate itself, the position is not coveted by many--especially given the region's low interest in WA Affairs. Nevertheless, Lukaymmunki [Luka] is a relatively new face in Thaecian politics was elected Vice-Delegate on June 12th.
His nomination on June 6th was mostly met with understanding--Luka being one of the few people involved in WA-related debates operated by the Delegacy, even hosting some of them. The few against his nomination retained against him his lack of experience in Government, which the supporters of his nomination countered by pointing out the lack of need for experienced individuals in a relatively new position with few powers and obligations, which most of them viewed as a training ground, and a more prestigious one compared to recruiters or writers.
In a referendum where 36 citizens voted, 22 voted in favour of Luka's nomination, while 12 voted against.
The Vice-Delegate, serving under Delegate Sunipi, is to serve until he resigns or the end of the Delegacy's term, set during midterm elections, approximately two months from now.
Following an extended period of inactivity, former Justice Minister Mardis was fired by Prime Minister Brototh and in their stead, Santa Marana, a sitting MP and Senior Deputy Speaker, was nominated to the position of Justice Minister to fill their seat. A complete newcomer to the Executive, they promised to make the department as efficient as possible during their confirmation debate by the Senate.
They were confirmed by the Senate on the 13th of June with 5 Ayes, 1 Nay, and 1 Abstention.
During June, Rayekka was also renominated to continue to serve as the region's Electoral Commissioner. Their confirmation passed the House of Commons with a vote of 10 Ayes and 1 Abstention.
Finally, The Islamic Country of Honour was nominated to serve as the region's second Deputy Justice. They were nominated by Prime Minister Brototh on the 29th of May, but by request of the nominee their confirmation hearing only began on the 29th of June. They were confirmed by the House of Commons with 7 Ayes, 2 Nays, and 3 Abstentions.
From the Announcement a Thaecian Debate Night, and the first season of the region's Gameside Roleplay on the 23rd and 24th of June respectively, the region's cultural activities have seen a sharp spike in frequency and popularity. Games Nights have been held every Wednesday and Saturday, hosted by Ministers or the Prime Minister, seeing Thaecians participate in a range of browser based games (but not the political simulator kind). Alongside this, The Ambis has begun to run a Question of the Day on the RMB, and polls have come back with a revenge, being run with some frequency again. So far, we've had Game Nights with Kahoot, Skribbl.io and Gartic Phone, to much success!
Coming up this week, we have a Movie Night, hosted by Vice Delegate Lukaymmunki, on Saturday. This will see us watching Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith!
On the following day, the Sunday, Games Night will return with an evening game of Cards Against Humanity. It'll be hosted at 8pm and is hosted by Minister of Communications Toerana V.
If either of these upcoming events appeal to you, please do pop along to the Thaecian discord and say hi! Everyone is welcome.
