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?

"Presidential Approval Craters"

On a poll conducted February 10th to February 11th ENN received responses from 27 Europeians. The demographic breakdown of the poll matched recent polls, with 53.8% of respondents being “new members” (those joining 2015 to 2018) and 46.2% being “old members” (those joining 2007 to 2014).

An important note: this poll skews slightly against President Rach’s base. 51.9% of respondents to this poll indicated that they voted for the President in the last election, versus 58.6% of the entire region.

This poll reflects deep dissatisfaction in the region with many facets of the region, but particularly with the executive branch.

Only 22.2% of the region approves of the job performance of President Rach, with 77.7% disapproving - 37% disapproving strongly. Interestingly, there is virtually no difference between the attitudes of new members and old members, except that new members are more likely to merely “disapprove” vs. “strongly disapprove” (64.3% of new members disapprove while 61.5% of old members strongly disapprove).

While the totality of Rach’s administration fares better, it still struggles to receive a passing remark. Only 59.2% approve of the entire Administration, with 40.7% disapproving.

In perhaps the most ominous metric for the administration, 51.8% of respondents indicate that they do not believe Rach’s administration is performing well enough to complete the term.

Indeed, when asked how they would vote if they could “redo” their vote from the last election, and overwhelming 77.8% say that they would vote to “Re-Open Nominations.” This includes 58% of those who voted for Rach in the last election.

Why the disapproval? Hard to parse. Though of the 88.9% of the region who read ENN's recent anonymous article "Are Things Actually Happening" 62.5% of the region fully agreed with it.

Interestingly, with these results Rach is probably the President who has had the widest array of poll results during her tenures.

When it comes to questions of reform, the numbers here are quite similar to how they always are. Members are split on a number of key questions with conservatives usually edging out, and with a lot of people undecided.

The issue with the most progressive consensus seems to be the Assistant Minister program, where a slim majority 51.9% believe the system needs major changes.

Few believe the Citizens’ Assembly needs any change. While many people used to discuss radical ways the Assembly could change itself, most today seem content with the body’s operations. Same is true of the court, where a staggeringly low 7.4% see a need for large-scale change.

Surprisingly, 37% of the region see the executive branch as in need of major change. It isn’t immediately clear if this is just a projection of the administration’s poor approval marks, or whether people are looking for wholesale change in how the executive works.

A fairly large majority doesn’t believe the Senate needs major change, an institution that has a consistent handful of irksome distractors.

Posted Image

And the region is divided on whether the Discord system needs major change.

These open-ended questions are pretty tough to interpret because citizens could be reading them many different ways, but overall they reflect the longstanding tradition of Europeia being more cautious about radical change.
