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?

Fellow Europeans, as many of you are aware, just at the moment I was selected by my colleagues to be Chief Justice, real life got crazy for me, and I haven't been around as much as I would like. However, I am now back to full levels of activity and wanted to say a few things.

Firstly, thank you to the previous Senate and the President for putting me on the bench, and thank you to my fellow Justices for having confidence in me to serve as Chief Justice. Despite the fact that the judiciary is the branch of government in which I am most interested, this is only my second appointment to a Court in any region in the 10 years I've been playing NationStates (the first being a brief spell on this Court some time ago). The circumstances just rarely seemed to be right for me to pursue my passion for the judiciary, but now that I have the opportunity, I am looking forward to it.

Secondly, I want to take a moment to praise my predecessor, Pope Lexus X for the great work he did in revitalizing legal education in the region. Under his direction, the Court was more active in this area than at any time I've seen since I joined the region. I intend to continue this theme and continue to develop legal education for the region. I have some ideas that I have begun discussing with my fellow Justices and the Head of the Bar Association, I hope to make further announcements soon.

Thirdly, one area where I feel the Court has slipped a little in recent months is in response time. The time between a matter being submitted to the Court and a ruling being issued has definitely increased of late, and I hope to reverse that trend. While I think it is important the Court takes the required time to deliberate and (hopefully) come to the correct conclusion, I also think it is important that controversies with regard to the law are addressed quickly so as not to leave defendants under the cosh for many weeks and/or citizens unsure as to the state of the law.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please do let me know. I am always interested in improving the way in which our government functions, whichever branch I may be involved with.

If you give this mouse a cookie, she'll probably ask for some cheese.

I look forward to seeing you continue to advance the Court during your term as CJ. Best of luck! :D
