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?

Senate Election Notes

- Is this the age of Drecq (which I pronounce perhaps mistakenly as Drake)? Last election, he was the most popular candidate for Senator and became Speaker. This is somewhat surprising because he hasn’t always been the most centrist and “peaceful” of political characters. It is good to see that style get success.
- Will the hunk in the speedo win this time? So far, Notolecta is the only non-incumbent running however this could change rather quickly. Last time, Notolecta lost out to myself so can Mr. Speedo claim victory this time? His term as Chairman of the CA has been solid I believe albeit a bit dry.
- Will we see a better election than the Presidential one and the last Senate one prior to the running of a multiple of people?
- Calvin Coolidge has not yet run yet despite being online to do so… which would be unfortunate since he has done a solid job in the role.

Trends and ideas

- I once again have the question why we need an electoral panel when we can simply set it as a law how many seats there will be depending on how many people run. My worry is that it gets it wrong sometimes and that we can be doing a better job of ensuring it doesn’t. I recall bringing this up previously but it also failing at the time.
- The question of Senate Committees should be interesting. There is always this balance of power between the legislature and executive. We have seen a really strong executive recently and this has resulted in the decline of projects like committees.

If this isn't the age of Drecq, I don't know what is. He's done dynamite work in the Senate, and deserves all the praise he's getting about it. If people want to attack him for not being "peaceful", then they don't know what the Senate's about. :emb:

*pictures Noto in a speedo* We might have different definitions of "solid". :P

Maybe if we get another riot... ;) I think we have a wide pool of talent to draw from this election, and it would be a shame if many of them didn't run.

I could say the same to you. I may or may not have other plans. Rest assured, I plan to make a run for something in the near future.

You know you're in the Senate, right? :P Draft a law if you feel strongly about it.

I'm not so sure those things are as related as you think. I feel like committees didn't work because of the Executive's lack of interest, not because they had to be held any less accountable. Both strong and weak executives would benefit from scrutiny, and I hope that committees make a comeback very soon.

I think it's legitimate of Calvin to ask why, if you feel strongly about something, you haven't used your position to do anything about it. Granted, your candidacy was a joke, but you've performed well enough as a Senator regardless.

It is because when I brought it up before I recall opposition to the idea and I'm not sure if it would be worth a second go around. Another reason is I have simply re-thought of this currently and didn't think of that possibility.

Yes, I still favor the current electoral panel system. So there may be truth to that.

- You know we are in a state of luxury when the committees are the biggest issue this election thus far between candidates.
