Foreign Update- July 24th, 2014 |

July 17th, 2014 Our Regional Forum! ELECTION FEVER! This past month has seen one of the most hotly contested elections in recent history for the Europeian Senate; our senior legislative body. With 10 citizens of all walks of NS life running, confidence was high for a competitive election- to such an extent that the Senate was expanded to 7 members for this term. Many of the elected representatives were long term favourites, but the election was also hotly contested by underdog, and newcomer, Imperium, who came a very close 8th. In a brilliant turn of opportunity, PhDre, one of the elected, gave Imperium the opportunity to fill in for one week- thus confirming the Europeian tradition of support for newer members. The Elected Senators of Europeia are: Anumia HEM PhDre PASD Modernsin Drecq Zenny Anumia The first business of the newly elected Senate was to choose its Speaker, and after a fairly close vote, the Supreme Chancellor-cum-senator HEM was voted into office. As a sign of an honourable individual, HEM proceeded to appoint the Senator who came second in the race, Modernsin, as his Deputy-Speaker. HEM's campaign had focused on a rejuvenation of the Senate's committee system. This has manifested itself in three key committees; -Foreign Relations and External Affairs -Integration and Newcomer Experience -Culture, Communication and Media Mousebumples WA NEWS! Europeian (and active World Assembly member) Mousebumples has had an extraordinary month in repealing legislation in June, adding two more to her overall list of repeals and passed resolutions - bringing her to 19 total passed resolutions. Mousebumples first repealed the International Criminal Court, highlighting the following issue within the text: "AUTHORIZE the ICC to issue arrest warrants for any person ("wanted person") suspected of these crimes if their home jurisdiction refuses to bring them to justice, unless an extant WA resolution requires they be tried elsewhere;" Furthermore, Mousebumples went on to state the problem: "...International Criminal Court, is limited to only acting within WA member nations or through their actions within their territories." This statement swiftly killed the resolution by repealing it, striking the text from WA law and ceasing the Court's existence, with 60% of voters indicating their support. On top of that, Mousebumples passed another repeal of The Multilateral Prosecution Act which passed with little opposition, receiving the support of over 75% of voters. In the repeal, Mousebumples swiftly executed the previously passed legislation, dealing blows in every chink of its words by pointing out potential due process issues within the current legislation. It was a truly wondrous repeal that destroyed the previous Act. If you thought that Mousebumples Mouse-Tastic adventure was over for the month, you were dead wrong. With the unfortunate news of long-serving Europeian World Assembly Delegate Moronist Decisions deciding it's time for him to resign his position due to RL, Mousebumples swiftly stood for candidacy and sailed to an easy victory over Abstain, with the final vote tally recorded at 24 votes to 3. With large shoes to fill, it is very likely that Mousebumples will have another Mouse-tastic month ahead of her. NAVY SUCCESS! The Europeian Republican Navy has been involved in several successful operations over the last month:
