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?

Well, now walk me through, as best as you can, how policy is formulated and implemented then. I understand that, as a member of the Cabinet, you are bound by both law and Cabinet collective responsibility.

I mean, the Soviet Europeia event. It's Culture, but you seemed to be pretty involved, from what I could tell.

I know that the Vice President, among other government officials, have been saying that there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Do you agree with Associate Justice Hyanygo, Senator Sopo, and others that there's too much secrecy, and that it gets old for the citizens to be told "There's something, but wait until (X)"?

I wouldn't say there's too much secrecy, just that there could be a little more give and take on the matter. Ultimately, it's the decision of the Administration to communicate with citizens as it sees fit - that could be a PM campaign, that could be complete disclosure, and that could be having everything be a surprise as well. It's a style of operation, and I did enjoy knowing that Commie Day was coming - I believe Lexus X almost guessed correctly as he stated that V-E Day was near that date (but he guessed America's VE Day, not Russia's!). Obviously all citizens will have a different standard as far as how informed they want to be about different events - and again it comes down to the style of the Administration.

Let's go back to the first part of my previous question, then:

Sure. Getting as detailed as I can without getting too specific, policies in Cabinet are created through general brainstorm, then get refined to the point where we have them ready to go. For example, Commie Day came to fruition as we joked about letting Cary run the region for a day... one of us mentioned the upcoming VE Day (Russian of course), and suddenly Commie Day became a potential event in culture.

And is it right to assume that there are several other ideas in the works in the Cabinet?

I would be very fearful for the Administration, and for Europeia, if there was only one plan in the works in the Cabinet at a time. :P To be clear - there are always a lot of ideas swirling around in the Cabinet, primarily because we've got a good team that's willing to look at the other Ministries and work together to make different policies better.

What do you see as your next steps, personally? Senator and Minister of Interior...any chances you might want to move up the ladder, so to speak?

This summer, I have the misfortune of being completely free - free to watch the World Cup, free to waste my time playing video games, and free to spend every living moment besides that either hanging out with my "friends" (quotes to imply that I have none) or contributing in any way possible to Europeia. So while I can't say what my plans are as far as pestering HEM for the VC spot (just kidding :P), or blackmailing Rougiers into running me as his VP (kidding? evil.gif ), I can say that the summer months will be my most active - and I will be looking to assume more responsibility and help prepare Europeia for the summer 'shut-down' that often grips NationStates. I can't say what I'll be doing in a few months time, but I hope to be spending it here in Europeia, helping out in a big way. euro.gif

How very patriotic of you :P

I see you've introduced the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Tell me and our viewers more about it.

More like, how very much time I have on my hands. :P

I advocate returning the number of seats in the Senate to nine for a variety of reasons, which I make clear in the Senate. To summarize, I'm slightly disappointed at the activity level of Senators this past term, and feel that the Senate has become crowded due to the simple fact that there are too many Senators to work effectively. There are a variety of other reasons, which I've outlined in the Senate discussion thread - I recommend all those interested in a more in-depth analysis head there.

All right.

And, for those interested, here is the location: Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

If there was one message that you want viewers to go away with, what would that message be?

But there are so many messages to send! If I had to choose one message to send to all of Europeia, and it wasn't RECRUIT AND JOIN THE CRC, it would have to be a simple reminder of who we are as a region, and what we want to get out of this game. We all invest a considerable amount of time into Europeia, and I for one want to see Europeia shine - both because I have nothing better to do, and because it's my home here in NationStates. I don't think we can go wrong as long as we always keep in mind who we are as a region.
