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?

I was under the impression that the EBC was a subsidiary of the executive. Shouldn't such criticism come from a private media outlet? I always saw the EBC as a way to rally the populace rather than bark at the administration which...employs it. Maybe I'm wrong.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corproation does the best journalism in the country, and is one of the only media outlets (well, CBC Radio at any rate, Mansbridge notwithstanding) willing to actually hold politicians' feet to the fire on anything. I'm not surprised it's a Canadian writing in the EBC doing a similar thing. :lol:

I wish we had that in the US.

*looks at Faux News*

Oh, Jesus.

I know, most conservative Americans I know can't wrap it around their heads that a public broadcaster might actually be able to do a good job at anything, let alone journalism and holding politicians to account, but there it is.

I'm not saying that at all. I just felt in this instance, it was odd. That's all. My last post was more of a reaction to bringing Fox News into the conversation. :P

Fox News is a fascinating look at the Golden Mean fallacy, but I don't want to hijack the thread any further.

I'd like to quote the same thing I posted in the polling results. I think it applies here as well.

Quote:
 
I've spent a lot of time giving speeches, apologizing, and making promises, but I think it's time to defend my record. Yes, there have been some drawbacks, but I believe a lot of good has been done. You may disagree with me, but there are some facts that cannot be denied:


  • Europeia is raiding. We've been on 6 operations in the past three weeks.

  • The Navy has grown considerably. Thanks to the recruitment drive, we now have a decent number of members to work with rather than the two or three we had before.

  • The populations is stable. Yes, it's not as large as it once was. Yes, it has dipped below 700. However, because of the work of a few stawart recruiters, the populations has not fallen off a cliff and instead has remained over 700 for nearly the entire term.

  • We've been sending bi-weekly updates. Thanks to the work of Earth and Oliver, we're getting our name out there at a level that hasn't been seen in months.

  • There are new members on the forums. After wondering what had happened to all the new members, we finally have some after being barren nearly all year. I point to JGlenn and Switz, as well as those chomping at the bit who have not yet been given citizenship, such as Dr. Tycho.

  • We had a successful Fest. It generated loads of activity. No, it wasn't run by Culture, but Earth made it happen, covering for an incompetent fellow Ministry in my hour of need.

  • Most of all, people are finally getting involved. New people and old people are recruiting. People are joining the Navy. People are signing up to be mentors. Finally, the people of Europeia are working to be part of the solution, and I commend them for it, and I thank them.


Europeians tend to see the bad before the good. Indeed, I am sometimes guilty of this myself, paying too much attention to the criticism and not seeing the things actually accomplished. Good has come to the region during this term, and whether I seek re-election or not, I will defend the successes and hold myself accountable for the failings of the administration.
