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?

@Rach, hy-You are both confusing Communications, with communication (notice the upper vs. lower-case letter). Communications, or the Ministry of Communications, is the ministry that runs Europeia's EBC and is in charge of accepting/denying applications for a Private Newspaper. Communications makes up a small portion of Europeia's success, small, but important nonetheless. Communication, with a lower case "c," is the act of exchanging words through verbal means or some other medium. Communication is how we as human beings connect with each other. Nothing can be accomplished without communication. A government wants to be more transparent? Communicate with the population. A region decides they want to be a roleplay region, the inhabitants will inevitably have to communicate with one another. A region cannot survive if the hearts of its inhabitants aren't known. In order to know your inhabitants, you must be able to communicate. In the context you put it in, you're right. However, seeing as you put it in the wrong context, communication is, indeed, key.
I think this is such a charitable reading of the article that it cycles back around and renders the article useless.

If the point of the article was that we talk to each other then I'm wondering what banal obvious statement is going to come out next.

Instead the article is insistent (whether Punch likes it or not) that its focus is _media_ as it is commonly understood here. That is a substantative contribution that deserves a place in the EBC. If Punch meant "communications", then he quite literally has written one thing and meant another.

However, as substantative as it is, it is also wrong.
