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?

ARDA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Arda celebrated her first birthday this month, and in true Ardanese style, we of course, had to have a party, with free food, booze and music, some people were even crushed in the stampede to attend.

While all the fun and games were taking place, most people decided to wish Arda a happy birthday:

Quote of the Giant Glitter Puff


Quote of the Red Fluffy Thing


Quote of The Gender-Changing Dwarf


Quote of the Interior Senator


Quote of the Weird Half-Dragon Fire White Haired Thing


While all this was taking place, the party and the birthday games were in full swing, people loved helping put the candles on the cake, and we managed to put on (*number of candles at the end of the festival*) candles in total!!!

Some presents Arda received was, some Magic chocolate, some Steampunk Chocolate and some Normal Chocolate, to represent each Estelian Faction. She also received a pint of Rarry Riket's blood, to help her lands become fertile. (Before you ask, his blood does contain a gene scientifically proven to increase fertility drastically)

But while all this fun happiness was taking place, there was utter terror as people were chased down and attacked by numerous Clowns! After the terror was over, it was found that Vixy was not at fault for ordering them, as she hadn't intended for that person to be killed by the clowns.

ARDA GOES TO THE POLLS!

The citizens of Arda en' Estel once again went to the polls this month, this time for the Minor Elections V.
This month, the posts up for contention were all three Consulates, as well as the Senate seats held by Satya Romefeller and Sacul Astoria.

Democratic participation hit a new low, as only one of the five posts had an opposed contest.
Neither senator chose to defend their seats, allowing political veteran Rarry Riket to return to the Senate after being evicted last month, as well as perennial candidate Theio Altherio, who finally made it into the Senate by virtue of not having to face the scrutiny of the voters.
Aynia and Rarry were both unopposed in their runs for re-election to Foreign Consul and Culture Consul respectively.
The great majority of the excitement was spent on the race for the Interior Consulate, where the retirement of Akillian Talleyrand left an opening for three different candidates - retiring senator Sacul Astoria, the ever-ambitious Rarry Riket (also serving as Culture Consul and running for the Senate), and surprise candidate Emerstari, who made their entrance into forum life with something of a splash.
In the final event, Sacul cleaned the field with 65% of the vote, with his closest rival Emerstari left behind on only 35%.

The new officers shall take up their posts soon, and we wish them the best of luck.[/spoiler]

MAYDAY FOR ARDA

At the start of the month, longstanding admin and regional stalwart Vixy "The Fox" surprised everybody by announcing that he was quitting, resigning his admin privileges and citizenship immediately. 'Twas a great shock for everybody, but for the average citizen life continued relatively as normal.

Until three days later Aynia announced that she was resigning too, stepping down as an admin, stepping down from the post of Foreign Consul that she'd been elected to barely a week prior, and declared that she was leaving the region too. In her resignation address, she talked of personal disputes between Vixy and the rest of the admin team. She talked of how Vixy had been refusing to resign from being an admin of the Discord chat (which she claimed he didn't particularly enjoy anyway) and because and due to Discord's unclear situation vis a vis the constitution she and the other admins took the decision to strip Vixy of admin privileges there without due process. She claimed that he had changed the passwords of both the founder nation and the root admin, and in light of the situation she felt that she could not longer stay in the region under the circumstances.

This, however, was a far greater cause for concern. The root admin and founder nation held hostage? The matter of the founder nation was soon resolved when Sacul announced that he'd been given the password for it, but the problem of the root admin remained, and questions still hung in the air about why Vixy had left.

Later on that day, Vixy surprised everybody by returning to the forum, with his citizenship and admin privilege restored. In a screed akin to Aynia's, he laid forth his side of the story. He talked again of how Aynia had stripped him of Discord admin rights without due process, and so left the region in protest. He talked at length about the relationship between him and Aynia, how it had intensified and broken down, about his behaviour on the Discord chat and why he didn't resign it. He said that he intended to stay and make up for what had happened, but continued to keep hold of the root admin.

Aynia's response was to call him a liar. The response of the rest of the forum was mixed, with some people wishing him the best and calling for calm, whilst others denounced him as a traitor in terms as harsh as Aynia's. If these statements had been intended to convince Vixy to give up the root admin, they were sorely misplaced, as Vixy responded by saying that he couldn't trust anybody else in the region with the responsibility if that was how they were going to behave. The mood of the thread continued to remain sour, despite the best efforts of a number of individuals to calm tensions.

The next day, the impasse was finally broken when both Sacul and Siegfried announced their resignations as admins, Sacul citing the return of Vixy and his continued control of the root admin as his reason, whilst Siegfried pleaded simple exhaustion. They intend to nominate replacement admins shortly, and in the meantime, with Vixy still retianing control of the root admin, the matter continues to hang over Arda's head.

In the absence of a serving Foreign Consul, this update has been collated by Senator Theio Altherio, who will continue to serve instead on a temporary volunteer basis until a replacement Foreign Consul can be elected.

Thanks :)

In my personal opinion, Arda is a very tight community, so we'll pull through this as a community too...

Hopefully the next update will bring better news... :)
