GK Surges Ahead of Opponents in Stunning Presidential Victory by upc and Andy
December brought about the end of UPC's unprecedented four term run as President. Initial polling showed a tight race between the Grea Kriopia (GK) / Sincluda (Sin) and Vorhollah (Vor) / Decacon (Rand) tickets, but a last minute entry by King HEM (HEM) / Ambrella (Sopo) shook things up in the days before polling opened. GK took an early lead, but the race remained close to run-off territory for most of the voting period. It was only in the final hour of the race that GK accrued the votes to secure the election in the first round. With 68 ballots counted, GK & Sin closed the race out with 57.4% of the vote, with Vor & Rand following at 23.5% and HEM & Sopo trailing closely behind at 19.1%.
The newly-elected President has nominated her Cabinet, all of whom have now been confirmed by the Europeian Senate. Her picks are as follows:

ERN Helps Secure New Sinkers by Sincluda
The Europeian Republican Navy provided military support to the new governments in the Plains of Perdition and the Outback. NationStates Gameplay was shocked last month by the creation of two new sinker regions, prompting a scramble for control. The ERN swiftly responded to a call for assistance from Rhaza to support his delegacy and stabilize Perdition, deploying sailors and militia to the region. Then-President UPC later ordered some sailors to support Terannical and secure the establishment of a coalition government in the Outback as well. Both nations still retain the delegacy in their respective regions (though the Outback is in the process of transitioning), and the sinkers have seen permanent governments successfully established. Among other militaries, the ERN remains deployed to help ensure security for these young governments as their regions begin to grow. The Europeian government has also recognized both governments as the legitimate governing bodies of their respective regions.
Winter Gala with Empire of Great Britain by Spuzz City
Europeia’s Ministry of Culture, alongside our friends at Empire of Great Britain, recently held a Winter gala filled with interesting conversation and engaging events. The event was held to celebrate the winter season and, the best part, have a big feast!
When you first walked into this feast, your senses were overwhelmed. The flavorful smells of steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and various desserts drifted from the table. The sound of laughter drifted in from the main hall where a grand story was being told. A feeling of warmth and happiness spread through you as friends gathered to make every second of the event count. A few gathered together to play games. To end the event, we all got cozy with our blankets, drinks, and snacks to watch “A Muppets Christmas Carol” before we all said farewell.
We at Europeia had a great time putting this together with our friends from EoGB!
Europeia Welcomes Talonia to MGC by Vorhollah
Talonia is the newest member of the Modern Gameplay Compact, following their accession on December 23. Talonia is a Frontierist region with a sizeable WA community and thriving Foreign Affairs; they resolved a conflict with The Republic of The League and Concord earlier this year, resulting in a Detente between the two last June. Europeia looks forward to a long future of collaboration with our new partners in the MGC! You can read more about this event in the MGC's statement.
... and much more!
