Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

Welcome back to my paper, I hope you are excited to read some results, because we've got a lot of them. This poll was open between October 24-26, and received twenty-one responses. Thank you all for participating, and thanks to Seven Deaths for helping out with the analysis. And now, here's the results:

President WritinglegendPosted ImageAverage: 8.06
Mode: 9 and 8

Posted ImagePeople clearly liked what they saw this term from their President, with many citing his effective leadership of his Cabinet as a plus, earning him the highest approval ratings in the Executive. The only compliant came from some who thought he should have been a little more active.
Comments



Vice President Aexnidaral SeymourPosted ImageAverage: 6.12
Mode: 7
Posted Image
While it seems people had nothing but good things to say about WL, his VP Aex had a much different story. That’s not to say that he was disliked, but there were certainly more mixed feelings about his term. Many were quick to point out that while he was visible, he hadn’t really much to show for it. They asked why he hadn’t been helping out in Ministries or the CSO, while others simply stated he was doing well. While he may have done much better behind the scenes, his public work didn’t seem to garner him a lot of favor with the populace.
Comments



Foreign Affairs Minister Brunhilde
Posted ImageAverage: 7.42
Mode: 10
Posted Image
The very clear takeaway from this poll is just how amazing everyone thinks Brun is. CAIN has been and will continue to be a massive success that brings much needed attention to Europeia for a long while to come. Her average approval in this poll wasn’t the highest, but it was one of the higher marks and she definitely pulls the trophy for highest overall mode. Only a couple voiced anything that could have been considered negative as they questioned whether FA could or should have attempted work on something besides CAIN.
Comments



Interior Minister Rand
Posted ImageAverage: 6.26
Mode: 7 and 5
Posted ImageThe comments were not kind to Rand, as many felt like Interior was okay at best, and mediocre at worst. Recruiterball was seen as a highlight, as well as the increase in nations, but many felt that his personal performance left a lot to be desired in terms of participation.
Comments



Culture Minister Calvin Coolidge
Posted ImageAverage: 7.47
Mode: 9, 8, and 7
Posted ImageThe Panda strikes back with high marks in this poll with a high mode and high average. With Culture, it’s always difficult to point to one thing and say that was his mark of a successful term. As is noted in a lot of these comments, Culture has been doing a lot of work keeping up with old projects and starting new ones. Overall, people seem happy with his work while noting Calvin’s wide breadth of responsibility and wishing he’d put more effort into some things than he did.
Comments



Communications Minister Pichtonia
Posted ImageAverage: 7.68
Mode: 9
Posted ImagePichto received a lot of praise for his work this term, with many citing his personal acitivity and the EBC’s article output as highlights of the term. While some wished there was more consistency in other Communication areas, he still ends up with the second-highest score in the Executive.
Comments



Former Attorney General Notolecta
Posted ImageAverage: 4.68
Mode: 5
Posted ImageIt would seem Writinglegend made the right decision to replace Noto. He received a lot of criticism for his visibility and his work on the Mock Trial, though there were some that were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when it came to behind the scenes work, he still earned the lowest score in the Executive by a large margin.
Comments


Grand Admiral Kraketopia
Posted ImageAverage: 6.33
Mode: 7
Posted Image
Kraken brought home one of the lower averages and a mode that was more middle of the pack than some. Many people remarked that the ERN seemed a little quiet this term while others claimed things went along at a fairly steady pace. We can definitely look at this data and determine that people wish Kraken had been a little more active than he was.
Comments



Former Radio Minister Cpt.Carrot
Posted ImageAverage: 7.28
Mode: 9, 8, and 6
Posted Image
It’s hard to say people didn’t appreciate the hard work Carrot did for this ministry while he ran it. A high average shows that he was generally well liked. Aside from the few that Mixlr didn’t particularly appeal to, it appears that most are going to miss Carrot, but he will live on in those he trained to host.
Comments



World Assembly Minister Malashaan
Posted ImageAverage: 5.7
Mode: 5
Posted ImageThe respondents in this poll seemed split on whether to blame Mal or the Ministry for their disappointment this term, but either way, they were unimpressed by this new Ministry. Many comments noted that they didn’t understand the practicality of this Ministry, and that Mal should have been more visible, though there were a few willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when it came to behind the scenes work.
Comments



Overall Executive
Posted ImageAverage: 7.63
Mode: 8
Posted ImageMost respondents seemed to agree that this was a good term, with the consensus seeming to say that this term had its highs and lows, but the highs definitely outweighed the lows.
Comments



Combined List:

Writinglegend: 8.06
Pichtonia: 7.68
Overall: 7.63
Calvin Coolidge: 7.47
Brunhilde: 7.42
Cpt.Carrot: 7.28
Kraketopia: 6.33
Rand: 6.26
Aexnidaral Seymour: 6.12
Malashaan: 5.7
Notolecta: 4.68


Cabinet Re-Nominations
Posted ImageThere’s no real surprises here, the Ministers in trouble for next term seem to be Malashaan and Rand, who also scored very low in approval ratings.

Reasons Not to Confirm


CSO Program Approval
Posted ImageAfter last term’s big CSO argument, it seems that the public is still split over how to feel about it, but there’s less hostility and more confusion. This seems like something that could be cleared up by the administration with more communication on this front.

Radio Ministry Comments
Comments


WA Ministry Comments

Right Track/Reelect WL
Posted ImageThese numbers are very good for Writinglegend, who has overwhelming hypothetical support going into the next election, with nearly every respondent saying that the region is on the right track.

Potential Presidential Candidates


Posted Image
Top Three: Writinglegend (15), Aexnidaral Seymour (11), Brunhilde (9)


The big winners here are the two residents of the Goldenblock, and the popular Minister of Foreign Affairs. WL and Brun’s inclusion makes sense, due to their high scores, while Aex comes as a bit of a surprise due to his middling VP performance ratings. Perhaps his supporters feel he’ll do better in the top spot. Those outside of the Cabinet tended to not get much support, though there seems to be an outsider’s chance for Anumia in the next race, it seems only a member of the Executive can make this election exciting, at least from the start. Anything can change during the course of an election.

Until next time, this is Calvin Coolidge, cutting out a graph.

Oh hey, fourth on the list not long after I've made a return, and where the others are the top are high in the executive. Not bad ^_^

Interesting to see a President outdo his whole Cabinet in the polls...

I am surprised that Aex came in second in the Presidential polling over people like Brunhilde given their perception.

The Most Boring

There are several things I don't get with this survey. Starting with myself, I wish there'd been actual comments to the vote of 4. I like to think I'm always rather critical of my own work, probably would have ranked myself lower. But I don't think a 4 is very deserving either. (Then again the same individual rated Aex 3 without any comments, so whatever. Come forward if you have anything substantial to say, otherwise I'll gladly assume you're just some craven troll.) I'm happy to see that the region thinks differently and I'll address some concerns from the comments and my own concerns at the end of the term.

Something else I fail to understand is the negativity on Aex. While not a literally excellent term surely, I think people greatly underestimate the time and effort he has done. Again I'd attribute a few of those to the same category as my negative vote, but I am glad that some others gave a comment, so I hope I can shed some light on the office of VP. Not just because I am a member of Cabinet. Also because I endorsed the whole ticket of WL/Aex and would do so again if I could travel back in time.

Quote:
 
Aex doesn't really seem to do much at all. In his midterm speech he only talked about the CSO, and aren't Rand and Rylian in charge of that? Why hasn't Aex been helping in the Ministries at all?

Quote:
 
Work on the CSO has been good, but how much of that has Aex done? It seems more like Rand and Rylian have been doing the heavy lifting there. Aside from the CSO, I can't really think of anything Aex has done.


Those are legitimate concerns, but with my knowledge I couldn't support these statements. What I certainly know is that Aex supported me in Communications. He's been, though less recently due to his announced absence, on mixlr. I think he was active in Interior, certainly in the CSO. He scheduled the AMA's and with a huge effort did the voting registration thing -- And I know that one was controversial, but I don't see why. It also took that much time, I'd say f*ck concerns over whether it's the right location and just appreciate the intense effort. Even after naming all those, I'm sure that Aex and WL could name a lot more, because obviously I don't have the same overview.

What I wanted to say is that VPs are always a little underestimated, but this one maybe (in my opinion) even more so, especially if we take into consideration how each office has limited potential, and how each office has different opportunities.

To finish on a lighter note, thanks for the survey Calvin and SD. Very interesting to see again and greatly done.

Unlike your home region, Europeia is not hell-bent on subverting and destroying other regional communities. We are an open society. You are taking advantage of that openness to try to influence our elections for the benefit of your home region, which is committed to our destruction. Perhaps our laws allow you to do this (though as a Senator, I'll be looking into changing that), but they don't require me to be nice to you while you're doing it, you little piece of shit.

CAIN was obviously a big achievement, but I'm pretty sure FA was supposed to accomplish other things this term. Brun would do better to focus on more than one thing at a time.


You mean like the two State Visits, the Accord with the United Kingdom, and inter-regional communication projects in Radio and the EBC that we did with a variety of regions? CAIN was definitely the main event but the stuff on the "undercard" would have marked a successful term in the MoFA as well.

Quote:
 
CAIN was a massive success for the region, and Brunhilde was a big part of that. I'm not sure if much else got done though, training seems to have fallen by the wayside.


Other stuff did get done but you're right about training. I underestimated just how much of my focus CAIN would be taking. With Cat having a lot of responsibilities of her own outside of training, and with Klatonia gone, I couldn't put nearly as much into developing my training program as I wanted to.

Quote:
 
The NSIA doesn't count, the ERN handed over the lead and operational command to The Invaders/The Red Fleet/Funkadelia.


That's kind of disingenuous.

Misley of TRF, Knot of TI, and Funk were my chosen Military Organizers charged with helping me get things running, ensuring as much operational security as possible, and with moderating the voice chat. They were chosen after I talked to the different spheres and found people that they were comfortable working with their troops.

I was the one marshaling forces, getting militaries involved, and ensuring that people were on the same page but, aside from that, there was no centralized operational command. Once I had done my job, the Military Organizers and the Leaders all pitched in to ensure that everyone was cross endorsing, that we had a jump point, and that the sleeper that was shared with us by Antifa was ready. Once the jump was over, I was handed the Delegacy and worked with all the different militaries on future actions.

There was no single lead because it's a Coalition of equal partners. The ERN didn't "hand over the lead" but rather didn't try to commandeer something that was a group effort.

I predicted that the FA training would go this way and that Malashaan would struggle. I think it's fair to say he is far more of a legislative person than an executive one. Doesn't make sense to give him bigger executive projects, the results have all been the same. When it comes to FA training, I think the best thing would be to simply forget about it and focus on things like CAIN.

While CAIN definitely took too long for what it was, it was still a decent project. So I would have given Brun a solid score.

Training is still going on, it simply wasn't developed any further.
