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?

From August 18th-20th, this poll was open, and received a total of thirty responses. The data from this poll has been put together in one place for your viewing pleasure. Before we get into the data, I'd like to extend a hearty thanks to Seymour for volunteering to help analyze the data so we could release this piece in a more timely manner. And now, without further ado, here we go.

While a slim majority of the respondents across all three relevant questions believe that Trinn had a positive impact on the region, a fairly equal portion of commenters state that the term was a disappointment, and that his resignation is continuing a concerning activity pattern.

Only half of the respondents feel “positive” about HEM’s contributions this term. HEM also receives the largest raw amount of “negative” feelings. Many state his Vice President term was too focused on the Intern Project, and feel too much time was put into the project during his Presidency, as well.

Mean: 7.86
Mode: 10

93% of respondents had overall positive feelings about Brunhilde’s term as Minister of Foreign Affairs. What’s interesting to note here is that Brun is one of only two Cabinet members who didn’t receive any “negative” votes at all.

Respondents seem to feel largely positive about GraV’s term but he still lags behind the 70+% positives some of his fellow Cabinet members receive. Many commenters were happy about the population boom that came from imgur, but hesitate to give the credit to an otherwise quiet Ministry, and specifically point to a lack of Integration focus.

Mean: 7.63
Mode: 8

Only one person rated Pichtonia’s contributions as leaving them with a negative feeling, overwhelmingly it seems the region approves of his job. Many were impressed with Pichto’s performance given his time in office, and the EurOlympics program in particular was singled out as a highlight of the term.

Kuramia receives a 68% positive ranking so far this term, with only 1 respondent marking negative. Many commenters feel that the term was a good effort, but could have benefitted from more text articles.

Mean: 7.13
Mode: 6

Similarly to Kuramia and Pichto, only one person gives Malashaan a negative mark while others overwhelmingly give him positives. The few poll takers that chose to comment on Malashaan mention that there has been much public activity to judge, but are giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Mean: 8.50
Mode: 9

WL is the only other Cabinet member besides Brunhilde to receive 0 negative markings. His 90% score for positive is similar to Brun’s. This continues a series of impressive approval ratings for WL, and was the only member to achieve a score over 8.

Mean: 5.43
Mode: 6

Among the Administration CSP receives the least support for leaving respondents with a positive feeling, his negatives almost coupled to the positives while his neutral rating hits half of respondents. Some comments question his promotion to Vice President, citing his lackluster Chief of Staff performance, with many confused what his contributions were this term.

Comments

Mean: 5.96
Mode: 6

Rand manages to eek out one more vote in the positive putting his marks squarely at 40%, while nearly a quarter of respondents feel they’ve been left with negative feelings. Many commenters cite the Senate battle as a negative experience in their rating, though there is a vocal group that supports the Senate’s “side”. There’s also a large portion that feels there just hasn’t been enough information so far in the term to judge Rand’s performance.

Comments

Mean: 6.5
Mode: 8

Only about half of the respondents feel that the administration, overall, has left them feeling positive with their contributions. Many describe the term as solid given the circumstances, without much progress.

Brunhilde and Writinglegend come out the strongest with nearly every respondent saying they’d reconfirm them. Pichtonia, Kuramia, and Malashaan all rank into the next category with more than 2/3rds of the respondents agreeing with their nominations. GraV falls squarely into a coin flip, while Rand is the only nominee that the majority of respondents say they wouldn’t want re-nominated.

Less than quarter of respondents believe the CSO has been a success, while nearly half of respondents believe that the CSO Internship program hasn’t lived up to the hype. Many stated that the program was not run properly, but has potential. Seeing this number together with Rand’s approval rating puts the future of the program in question for future terms.

By slimmest of margins a majority of respondents say that the region is on the right track. Also by the same margins, just flipped, we see that HEM would likely lose re-election if he ran for another term. Could there be a wide field next election? Low approval numbers for the top of the ticket may indicate so.

Writinglegend (63.3%), Aexnidaral Seymour (60%), and Brunhilde (56.7%) lead the pack, with Calvin Coolidge also giving a strong showing (43.3%). Meanwhile, only 37% of people would like to see the incumbent President return to office if given other choices.

Final Comments
Comments

This poll paints a mixed picture for the current Executive, with the members at the top receiving some of the harshest criticism in recent memory, as well as two members receiving stellar rankings. This should mean a rather interesting next couple of weeks as the Executive finishes up their term, and possibly seeks reelection. We'll have to wait and see just how it all shakes out. Until next time, this is Calvin Coolidge, shaking it off.

Raw Data.

I don't disagree with my numbers, in fact I'm surprised that they are not lower. And no, I will not being running for anything anytime soon. That being said - screw you to anyone that I ever hear saying that somebody sucks or makes light of because they have serious RL issues - I will gladly punch you right in the face.

Hi people, for all those who are griping about how Interior has not done any integration I'd like to direct you to Trinn's Platform Here and find me one Integration effort other than the internship program that would have "hypothetically" been rolled up into my portfolio after Kaboom was shot down as Minister of Integration. It was not untill the midpoint of the term that it became clear that it was nessasary to add to that not a integration portfolio that I had. Thus I devised the Newcomer of the Month program and a other internal (a.k.a non-visible) integration efforts starting from the midpoint of the term.

I'll be giving a in depth review and anlisis of the term in my closing address.

Edit: Sorry for the spelling I'm on my phone.

To me, this is a complete misrepresentation of the numbers.

16 - positive
9 - neutral
5 - negative

How is 5 almost equal to 16?

You can add 9+5 and get 14, which is almost 16, but neutral is not the same thing as negative.

Look, you can spin these numbers however you want, but this sort of questionable analysis (which I'm fairly confident was not intentional but perhaps rather an unconscious bias slipping through) is exactly why when I post MousePoll results, I let the results speak for themselves and let people draw their own conclusions.

Otherwise, you have people calling you out on questionable conclusions. Like this one.

My apologies, the wording there made it sound like we were just talking about the positive-negative question, but I was more talking about the overall rating (which gave him a mean score of about 6) and the comments (which are fairly split), which do paint that picture, in my view. I'll change the wording to more accurately reflect that.

Thank you for the acknowledgement.

I think you have a serious conflict of interest, considering that you were the opponent going into this current term. As a result, I feel the need to view all of your commentary with a large heaping of salt. Still, I appreciate the polling and the data as presented herein and the efforts of the Panda's Pen to present that information to the public for our dissemination.

Unlike your home region, Europeia is not hell-bent on subverting and destroying other regional communities. We are an open society. You are taking advantage of that openness to try to influence our elections for the benefit of your home region, which is committed to our destruction. Perhaps our laws allow you to do this (though as a Senator, I'll be looking into changing that), but they don't require me to be nice to you while you're doing it, you little piece of shit.

I don't really understand how I can get a great rating (except for the strange person that rated me a 5) without counting the training program as a big accomplishment. That's probably the only reason I got rated well.

Regardless, I thank people for giving me some good votes (Especially the 7 of you that voted me in at a 10) and would like to thank people for the votes of confidence in voting me up in the Presidential polls.
