Europeia is a region of NationStates that follows the principles of republicanism, meaning the officials of Europeia are elected by the people, of the people, and usually for the people.
Can I join?
Of course. Of course. All you have to do is register an account. Validate said account (it should send an email to the email address you have provided, if it did not pester us about it here). Your account in the beginning will automatically be placed in the non-citizen usergroup. You can change that by applying for citizenship. The application, for security purposes, usually takes a few days to be processed by our forum administrators. But once that is done you can see it all and do it all as a full citizen of Europeia .
So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?
First you have to register an account. Then you have to validate said account (it should send an email to the email address you have provided, if it did not pester us about it here). Your account in the beginning will automatically be placed in the Non-Citizen Usergroup. Then you can apply for diplomatic masking.
What offices are there for people to be elected into?
Well, first of all there are three Branches of Government. There is the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. The Executive is responsible for the day-to-day governance, the Legislative writes and manages the laws of Europeia, and the Judiciary has the Power to review laws to see if they comply with our Constitution as well as hear trials against accused citizens.
The Executive is made up of the President, the Vice President and their Cabinet. The President and the Vice President are elected together every 70 days. They then nominate other citizens to fill the Cabinet Posts. Those nominated are then confirmed by the Senate. For more on the Executive click here.
The Legislative is made up of the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly. The Senate is made up of a minimum of five citizens who are elected into office every 70 days, exactly 35 after the presidential elections. The Senate writes or repeals laws, confirms Ministers and Judges and can remove any elected official. The Citizens' Assembly writes pre-Legislation, which is then passed on to the Senate for approval. Members of the Assembly are not elected. Instead every citizen is automatically a Member. For more on the Legislature click here.
The Judiciary is made up of the High Court, which answers legal questions and hears criminal and civil cases, looking to the laws of the Republic, both statutory and common, to render judgment. It is made up of the Chief Justice and three Associate Justices. The Justices serve for a 120-day term. Instead of being elected, they are nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate. For more on the Judiciary click here.
What is there for me to do in Europeia?
If the game of high politics is not your cup of tea you can always just hang around doing fun things. Or if you want to put some work in, there is always the Civil Service, the Navy, and the Citizens' Assembly.
As citizen, you can join the Civil Service (or CSO). The CSO assigns its Members (called Assistant Ministers or AMs) to the different Ministries to help out the Ministers. As AM you can do many things and garner great accolades. Most of the great politicians of Europeia started in the CSO.
Once you become a citizen, you can also sign up to become a Sailor in our Navy, going out on raids, defending Europeia, or helping our allies defend themselves. Or, if reading and creating Law is more your speed, you can always join the Citizens' Assembly.
That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?
You could always check the Newcomer's Handbook to see if the answer to your question is there. It may even be in the FAQ (or Frequently Asked Questions). If neither answer your question, you can ask our admins here.
It is my firm belief that Europeia's independent media outlets would be best served by being 1.) completely separated from the auspices of the Ministry of Communication and 2.) Having a more structured and collaborative format.
As such, I propose the following for your input and consideration:
1.) A Director of the OIM that will oversee the approval of new media outlets, maintain the LethnoMonarchy Media Center by ensuring that media outlets are active and in use, and help coordinate between the media outlets in providing quality content to our viewers.
2.) The OIM membership will be opt-in, but only members of the OIM can stand for or vote on the position of Director.
3.) The Director can not be the current President, Vice President, or Minister of Communications as to maintain a focus on the independence of the Media and entrust that it is not beholden to the whims of any current Administration.
4.) That OIM members will endeavor to cooperate and work together where it is practical to provide superior quality content vs. multiple uncoordinated presentations, such as polling.
5.) The OIM and its membership will actively promote interest in journalism and provide a fostering atmosphere for such.
6.) The OIM will have a discussion channel, such as is possible on Discord, to easily facilitate discussion and creativity among its membership and so the Director can notify OIM members of important news.
If the Media Outlets and Editors are agreeable to such actions, once we are in agreement, we can petition the Government and Forum Administration to coordinate the new dynamic.
What's In A Name?
You may notice some people call me "Trinn", "Fluffy", "Trylian", or other random combinations, and are a bit confused by this. 'Rylian' was the name I used when I first came to Europeia. After a few months, I had it changed to 'Trinnien' which is the username I generally use outside of NS. I changed it back to 'Rylian' in order to get back to my roots in Euro. Mostly it's just because I like confusing people (j/k). 'Rylian' and 'Trinnien' are derivatives from Rilian and Tirian from the Chronicles of Narnia. Anyhow, now you know and are hopefully a lil less confused.

You can overview the outlets and you can moderate them. But if you try to control what these outlets put out, we have an issue. Especially if you're trying to fit your own ideals of what "quality content" in euro is. Arguably, everything has good content. Who are you to say what is good and what isn't?
But besides that, I like what you are offering. Just don't turn the outlets into your own little finger puppets

I don't feel that was the implication there at all, that the OIM would dictate what can and what cannot be posted. Only that it would be better to work together as media outlets "where practical" to provide what is hopefully a better and more successful product. I would be staunchly opposed to any kind of hard rules on what the OIM would consider acceptable content. To me, that is the readers' choice, quite simply, if the content sucks, they won't read it.
At Anumia, the Director would be mostly a custodial position of actions currently handled by the Minister of Communications. Still, it's helpful to have a position of some minor authority to occasionally help steer discussion without membership feeling obligated or beholden to take such actions.

Because its independent media. Under the Ministry of Communications, we are at the whims of the Government. Sure, no one has ever mishandled the responsibility but it also isn't one that Comm Ministers give almost any focus too. Also, by having it under government control we have run into complaints of bias when a paper has been archived even though it may have well been a while since it was posted in. A OIM Director that is answerable to the editors and media outlets and that is, more importantly, consistent in warnings about inactivity and archival is superior to the current status quo.

I do not really think we are "at the whims of the Government" as you say. To my memory, there has never been a time we have seen abuse by any government figure in terms of the media, meanwhile the OIM has done almost nothing/been almost entirely inactive for most of its lifetime. Moving a function that was handled perfectly well by MinComm to such an organisation before it has proven itself active or effective seems like it might not be the best idea, and not all private media outlets will necessarily join the OIM anyway.

This is my feeling as well. The rest is fine, for reasons stated by others, and me, in the GH thread on the subject.
Nor have we seen an Administration or Communications Ministry that has truly served the need of private media. Most importantly though to me, is that it should be private media and not an arm, even if it's benign, of the government.
Maybe, just maybe, if we held the Comms Minister or a responsible deputy to task on maintaining the LMMC, I would find it mildly acceptable. Not ideal and I strongly believe it leaves private media as disparate units and weaker because of it. But, at least we cold potentially maintain a standard set of operations.
Also the OIM hasn't thrived as an institution because it was not set up to be one. It was at best a loose confederation of media outlets with no established agenda, goal, or hierarchy. I'm saying that we can all work together to change that. But, if you're fine with the status quo.... well, in any case I will continue doing what I can for private media.

Um, okay? No need to be all dismissive when the general response to this idea has been positive, and it's only a very narrow critique on the program that most of the people in this thread have had. As the related Grand Hall thread has also shown, there are a fair amount of news outlets behind this general idea.
To further expand on the reason I am against the OIM being in charge of archival and application because that would be a pretty big conflict of interest. Private media mostly competes with private media, if anyone truly competes in the media space. It is far more likely for the OIM to abuse this power than a mostly neutral Minister.
I recommend that the Director be the advocate to the Government on behalf of private media.

If there's a strict set of rules (archival only after X amount of time) and the Director would be elected by members of the OIM. If there was abuse of power, we DO have courts you know. ...
Also, "approval" only in that the Director is the one that would post the request in the Admin Task Thread (like the MinComm does currently) most definitely not a debate on the worthiness of the outlet. As I said earlier, the readers will take care of that on their own by just not viewing or responding.

no... Comms is vital to the private sphere. Comms has, for example, published vital polling data and asked private media to interpolate and extrapolate it; interpret it. There is also media using mixlr, which is entirely under the purview of comms. I think you are deeply misunderstanding private media not being the -focus- of Comms, more or less not being involved in any vital manner, as somehow being counterproductive to Comms. It should also be noted that Comms is not "mediating" any private content to see if it favors the administration, which would be one of the few definitely detrimental powers Comms could do.
Comms and the OIM Director should have a role together, not as one and the same, but it is easy for them to coordinate events together, create a general agenda, and expand outward.
If you think Comms "corrupts" private media now, than that is silly. Comms does not mediate media, at least not newspapers, as they are more vested in three things: dispatches, mixlr, and EBC articles. Mixlr is the closest to affecting content, and even then Comms has been very willing to allow any content.
I'm pretty sure that violates every clause in the Geneva Convention.
The intent isn't to use him, it is to have him and not use him... very deliberately and clearly not use him, but let everyone know that we could use him if we so wished but we don't want to use him... because everyone is so nice and we appreciate how nice everyone is... :evil:[/quote]

I do dabble in inter-dimensional rifts as well. Have you tried going to the void? I own real estate there. Oh! Don't do hell though. Without cell coverage (no cells in hell) you need to get a copy of the necronomicon from Cthulu but he wants item A. and to get A you need to trade for B which you get from another guy for C. One large fetch quest. Do you have vegan interdimensional tears?
I really like this guy
Fun book readings

we have much planning to do for you carrot. you have sealed your fate *begins reading necronomicon. The gates of hell open up go reveal tentacle-like horrors of the deep as they swell up from the grave and drag Cpt.Carrot kicking and screaming. He continues to try and hold on as the written inscriptions from the necronomicon reverberate and echo louder and louder in the sky. The terrors from the deep slowly drain both his willpower but sanity (points) and in a second it is over.* I am beginning to see a beautiful friendship svunbrink.
Now wasn't that a fun chapter! *looks around to see the audience has turned into shriveled up corpses, All roughly the size of an actual doll. You can see what looks to be dried blood which had previously been running from their eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. They have been dead for a long time.* good
