The New Inquisition Celebrates as the Region Turns Eight

The New Inquisition prepares for its annual celebration.

The New Inquisition is fast approaching its eighth year in existence, and that alone would be enough reason for her citizens to celebrate. But it is not only that. TNI remains to this day a large and influential region. Through highs and lows she has been sustained, and has remained an ever present part of the world of Nationstates. Her culture is robust and has developed in myriad ways over her years in existence. Her armies have led the way from the front in battle after battle, raining down victorious blows across countless regions. Her politics are active and diverse, ever evolving. Her citizens are bright, active and forward thinking, forming core groups in many other regions. The New Inquisition has accomplished exceptional endeavours in its eight year existence and the time to celebrate approaches.

Starting on Friday 28th March, The New Inquisition will begin celebrating its 8th anniversary. We encourage you all to attend. TNI will be pulling out the stops for a no holds barred celebration party. Fully expect to find pomp, pageantry, possible circumstance, speeches, games, drinks, old hands being nostalgic, newer hands being nostalgic, and of course the TNI staples of Tea and Bacon! We fully expect it to be a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Everyone here in TNI is looking forward to seeing you and hope you come and celebrate our 8th birthday with us

UIAF Destroy Record

UIAF troop's march of triumph.

Led by Field Marshal Christopher Bishop, the UIAF stormed through 27 regions, thus breaking the record for most regions raided in a single update. A group of loyal soldiers, including a significant TNI contingent headed by Bishop, battled furiously with defenders in order to secure the ultimate prize of the raiding-within-an-update record. The UIAF are never ones to rest on their laurels - they followed the record with exceptional raids on eighteen regions just days later. Such feats of valour serve to illustrate the exceptional strength and organisation of the UIAF. We look forward to more and even great victories in the future.

Changes to the Political Sphere

The cabinet reconvenes.

Political manouverings have led to various offices changing hands or being filled. Freshly back from a short break from Nationstates, elder statesman Joshua IX returned to politics, sweeping into three positions: Reich Elector, Secretary for Foreign Affairs and Delegate to the Reichstag. He has pledged to support the removal of the now defunct Reich Elector role, thus becoming The New Inquisition's final officer in that role. Other changes to the cabinet have occurred as, due to insufficient time or inactivity, it has been necessary for Reich Chancellor, Olde Delaware, to reshuffle the cabinet. Aside from Joshua IX becoming Foreign Secretary, Salohcin has been appointed Secretary of State for Culture in order to take on the task of creating an exceptional Foundation Day Event. Supporting him are former Kaiserin, Viktoria von Hohenzollern, and former Secretary for Culture, Fairybella, who have been appointed Minister-without-Portfolio. TNI looks forward to an excellent Foundation Day celebration masterminded by such an exceptional team within the government.
