As of late, there has been a TGing campaign underway to increase region participation and get more of our nations onto the forum. This effort seems to have helped some, but the effects have been counter-balanced by many of our more active nations taking a break or having to deal with RL issues...
Here's what else is happening in Aberdeen:
Government activity:
- In a not so suprising move, the Minister of Immigration, Hekloslogravia announced his resignation from the cabinet effective June 1. Our PM, Forgottenlord has named PGrier, a MP and Deputy of Recruitment as the new Min. of Immigration. PGrier has worked with the immigration ministry for the past 6 months so the entire region feels good about his appointment and know that the ministry will be in capable hands. We also wish Heklo luck with his next endeavors.
- Another cabinet resignation was announced when Imperfectia announced his resignation as Min. of FR due to RL issues and other game commitments. To quote Imperfectia:
These past three months, serving the government in the realm of foreign affairs, I realized just how wide, diverse and enjoyable the larger NS community can be. I met many great nations and peeked in on many cool regions.
- With the appointment of PGrier to Min. of Immigration, Forgottenlord has called an election in June to fill the vacant MP seat left by PGrier's move. So far two candidates have stepped forward and announced thier candidacy: Hekloslogravia and newcomer Metis Liberation Front. Campaigning is currently underway with elections scheduled somtime first of next week.
- Since our last update the HoM (House of Members) has been busy crafting new legislation. Here is the latest on the addition and changing of Aberdeen Law:
Bill 13 - Regional Military Emergency Response Procedure, written by Dancing Bananland was defeated by a vote of 7-2.
Bill 14 - Repeal of Law 6, written by Imperfectia, was passed and became Law 9 by a vote of 5 for, 1 against and 2 abstain.
Bill 15 - Regional Tax and Budgeting Code, written by Coretta, is currently up for vote.
- Dancing Bananland has announced that he has appointed Metis Liberation Front as the second deputy of AMID.
- The month of May also witnessed 5 new nations signing and accpecting the Aberdeen Constitution: Gis, Kudo Slavia, Sayt, Metis Liberation Front, and Bobolinks.
RP activity:
- Someone (or some group) has stolen a prototype of a new jet fighter from Dancing Bananland. Who was it? What kind of capabilities does this plane have? Read HERE to see how this story unfolds...
- The Greater Commonwealth of Coretta was scheduled to execute 73 prisoners at 12:01, May 30. Read HERE for the press release.
