Europeia February Update 9 February 2021 In the month of February, Europeia had two major events, the commendation of our founder, as well as the EuroChoice awards celebration, a look back at our region in 2020.

HEM, founder of Europeia, commended Adapted from an EBC article published February 6, by Pichtonia (February 7, 2021) – Following a decisive vote in the Security Council, the World Assembly overwhelmingly commended King HEM for his achievements in the regions of Europeia, the South Pacific, and The Land of Kings and Emperors. With the commendation, Sopo makes good on the final promise of his presidency. After Sopo announced that he would introduce Commend King HEM in his closing address, he introduced a first draft, co-authored by Maowi, to the Security Council forum only two days later. On January 19, Sopo brought forth another (and eventually final) draft. Having gone for nearly two weeks without objections, Sopo then submitted the draft to the Security Council on January 31. Sopo and a team of allies and friends worked diligently on securing the 58 approvals needed to bring the Security Council resolution to a vote before the World Assembly by reaching out to delegates across NationStates. Quorum was reached after Monday minor update, which meant the resolution was good to go to a vote on Monday major update. The vote stacked in favour of the commend very early, as the endorsement-heavy delegates of the North Pacific, the East Pacific, the West Pacific, the Pacific, Balder, Osiris, Europe, and of course Europeia all voted in favour within the first few hours. The World Assembly Legislative League, known as WALL, played a major role in helping the resolution move forward. As Sopo described, "WALL members initially provided feedback on the draft, which was helpful - an outside opinion that was still trustworthy. When it came time to submit, I was glad to have WALL members' support obtaining approvals and then voting early when it came to vote." "Overall, I was really glad to have their help," he added. By Friday major update, the resolution had been confirmed by a vote of 76.6% in favour and 23.4% against. Once the result was clear, the main channel on Europeia's discord erupted in celebration, with citizens and foreign visitors cheering on HEM. Sopo, the main author of the resolution, expressed his satisfaction at the results. His friend, the founder of Europeia, had been commended.

Europeia Holds 2020 EuroChoice Awards Adapted from an EBC article published 8 February by Maowi Likely one of the most highly anticipated events of the New Year period, the Europeian Choice Awards - EuroChoice - returned in full force for reflection on and celebration of the achievements and stars of 2020. The Ministry of Culture officially announced the event on January 10 with a scheduled start of January 25. In anticipation of the event, Europeian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) Radio also put out a speculation broadcast featuring Calvin and GraVandius. The festival subforum was opened to the public on the following day, with participants making their entrance on the celebrated Red Carpet, as well as the launch of a variety of forum games. In line with the recent explosion of EBC Radio activity hosted on Twitch, the final award ceremony was conducted as a video stream, complete with a specially created slide show. Among the winners announced live by Sopo, Calvin, and GraVandius were, notably, Pichtonia for Europeian of the Year, Darkslayer for Rising Star of the Year, and EuroPride 2020 for Event of the Year. The success of EuroChoice 2020 is a reflection of the many triumphs and accomplishments Europeia saw over the past year. All that is left now is to look forward through 2021, and strive to use what we achieved in 2020 to soar higher still.

President Calvin Coolidge Elected in Electoral Nail-biter
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact Information (Discord): wordisthebird#9813

(Europeia, February 27, 2021) - Europeia has elected Senate Speaker Calvin Coolidge as president of Europeia in a runoff election concluding Sunday, February 21. The campaign centered on foreign affairs and the role of the Europeian Republican Navy (ERN), with now-President Coolidge running strongly on "continuing the good work that our naval leadership has done so far," increasing naval transparency, and using the ERN as a tool to promote the doctrine of Independence.

After the polls closed in the initial election, no ticket had garnered a majority of all votes, and a runoff was held. The ticket of Forilian/Monkey was eliminated for the runoff; the ticket of Calvin Coolidge/Istillian then faced off against the incumbent ticket of Pichtonia/Kuramia, upsetting the incumbents by 52.9% to 47.1%.

As the president cannot serve in the Senate simultaneously, Calvin Coolidge's seat was made vacant upon the victory, triggering a by-election for the seat and a new election for speakership in the Senate. The Senate elected new Speaker UPC, who immediately set out to begin confirmation votes on the new president's cabinet.

In a statement, Calvin Coolidge commented, "I am humbled that the majority of the region has put its faith in myself and Istillian to lead it for the next 70 days." Noting that he defeated an incumbent ticket running for re-election, he added, "I want to thank Pichtonia and Kuramia for their service over the past term, we all know they are great public servants who have always performed admirably in their roles and would have done so again ..."

President Calvin Coolidge nominated the following individuals to the cabinet:
Monkey, Minister of Foreign Affairs;
Peeps, Grand Admiral;
GrandfatherClock, Minister of Interior;
McEntire, Minister of Communications;
Maowi, Minister of World Assembly Affairs;
Xecrio, Minister of Radio;
Rotasu, Minister of Culture; and
Lloenflys, Attorney General.

The nominees were confirmed by the Senate on February 24, with no senator voting against a nominee.

Europeia Statement
Re: "Democracy/Autocracy Update"

A proposed update to NationStates, tentatively called “Democracy/Autocracy”, has led to an active discussion on the technical forums. Recently, the President of Europeia released a statement announcing Europeia’s opposition to the update. In such a statement, the President lays out the flaws that come with the update and the downfalls which, critically, fail to address issues that do "need fixing”, and instead, tries to “shoehorn R/D into the game and to penalize anyone who doesn’t wish to participate.” Such an update proves to be unhealthy and fails to solve our existing problems.
