Incoming -- forum features!
It has been reported today that the forum administrators of Terrene have ventured out of their safe haven underground lair to hunt down some further features for the Terrene forum. Hosted by zetaboards, the forum is open to some plug ins and thusly features that cannot be accessed on other hosts, or at least that's what the admins are hoping.

The two main features hoping to be added are as follows;
• A like/dislike button system on posts.
Give your opinions without writing, a great acknowledgement to somebody and anybodies hard work in their forum post without getting unnecessarily involved.

• Hashtags.
Yes as if it wasn't crazy enough just using these in social media, they could now descend on Terrene in a blaze of glory.

It is unclear whether all these features are possible but have been requested, so will be looked into. Hopefully the forum won't overload and send us all back 1,000 years!

Thanks for reading!


Regional Rules

That's right, the lawless region of Terrene has been tamed this evening with the posting of regional rules of conduct. Aimed to keep the ever growing population civil amongst each other, this is a simple peace-keeping tool echoing the rules NationStates and ensuring that in the case a nation is offended, the matter can be dealt with accordingly. Those crooks and villains out there be warned! The rules prior to this have only existed in theory but can now clearly be seen set in stone (or web browser as it may be).

The rules are now physically highlighted in this dispatch by Apocryphi and include; General Conduct, RMB conduct and possible punishments.

Torvalyn in Terrene
Torvish interim President, Kornelis Roodbeen, spoke of Torvalyn's 'bright and exciting future' within the region of Terrene today. Herr Roodbeen, who is so far the only person to have served in the role of President of Torvalyn, took the opportunity in a speech before parliament today to greet all of Torvalyn's neighbours and encourage the government to start setting up ties as soon as possible.

Parliamentary Elections 29/05/16!

The Torvish people will head out to the polls to elect a new parliament on the 29th of May. With divisive issues facing the country, such as the long running debate of whether to privatise the rail networks, the re-expansion of government healthcare costs reimbursements, taxes and foreign debt there has been no sign pointing towards a clear winner. The Prime Minister and leader of the centre-right Free Democrats, Haldo Nielsen, is leading by just a few points over his socialist opponent, the Workers' Party's Malin Rustad. Many are speculating that a Free Democrat-Workers' Party coalition may be the only option for either party to rule effectively.

Royals Settling Down As Retirement Sets In

Torvalyn's former monarchs have officially retired to their country estate on the west coast. A final state salary has been paid to the former rulers and an agreement as to their future role has been settled. The family will essentially continue their lives as quiet millionaires. The former king and queen have expressed a desire to devote much of their time to charity.

Economy Looking Up, But Deficit Still Major Issue

The Torvish economy is now showing strong signs of recovery following its unprecedented crash last year after the collapse of the Jampat bank. However a huge budget deficit remains which may take years to clear. Efforts by the government to cut public spending have so far been very slow to take effect. The issue of the recovery is causing ample debate within the political sphere, with arguments heating up over the government's priorities to its creditors and to its people.



Provisional Government Opens
Today, Apocryphi and Arthralia (pictured above) announced the opening of applications to join the first provisional government of Terrene which is set to form the constitution or set of rules for the region to follow. This process has been in the works for over a month now, with the region electing 'Option Number 4'; a small executive for OOC affairs and (more or less) free roam for the IC aspects of Terrene. 3 Permanent members will be appointed with more elected members existing at all times, the initial amount is believed to be 4. The council will govern the regions affairs, their tenure is currently undecided. The provisional government will be responsible for the entire establishment of the regional system and will stay in place until this is achieved.
