Invaders in Lazarus; Multi-Raider Region Coalition Repelled!
In a prolonged siege led by the invader general Imperus Shakka, and believed to have been abetted by elements of the now-defunct Nomads terrorist raider group, Lazarus withstood attack by those believed bent on colonizing the region yet again. This invasion was unique in that it finally cleared away the Regional Message Board spam for days on end, some of the choicer exchanges being available here, and evidence of the generally civilized conduct of the invasion barring a few individuals who need not be named. The invasion drove Dezzland's endorsement count to over 150; historically, the highest endorsement count Lazarus has ever seen.
Our humblest thanks go out to the following regions who aided in the defense:

• The Lone Wolves United
  
• The North Pacific
  
• The South Pacific
  
• The West Pacific
  
• The Rejected Realms
  
• The Skeleton Army
  
• Gatesville
  
• England
  
• Cologne
  
• One Big Island
  
• 10000 Islands
  
• And also Catlandatopia, for setting the record straight!
  

New Role Play, Quiz Section; Lazarus Forum Gets a Jump Start
After months of intermittent but serious complaint about the inactivity of Lazarene role-play, something was at last done to redress the issue. First, a new sub-forum dedicated to RP and Creative Writing was created, featuring the respective sections.
Also, a new [URL=
z13.invisionfree.com/lazarus/index....post&p=12202985]Lazarene Map[/URL] was created by High King Addarow, so that players have a superb resource for both on-site and off RP involving their nations. The details, such as islets, rivers, terrain and borders are particularly superb; and congratulations to Addarow are indeed in order.

Elections in Lazarus!
As required under Mandate 5.0, elections were held to determine the new Lazarene High Chamber's composition. First, the various candidates were questioned on their policy plans and goals, outlining their visions of where Lazarus as a region should go. And then, in the moment of truth, the results were in...

• Steward of The Emerald City: Aisli
  
• Advocate of Foreign Enticement: Wagdog
  
• Guardian of the Realm: Spectacor
  
• Director of Public Relations: Wagdog
  

Congratulations to all on an excellent campaign, with much thoughtful discussion and the hopes of a great three months to come for Lazarus!

Secrets Revealed! Documents surrounding the Lazarene Tyranny revealed to the public!
After the recent shutdown of the Liberalia regional forum, formerly classified documents regarding his involvement in the February 2006 invasion spearheaded by United Luckians have come to light. These only further implicate the Liberalia of that time in the usurpation of Lazarene sovereignty known as the "Lazarene Tyranny", guilt which had long been suspected by astute Lazarenes; although given the apparent implosion of old Liberalia due to certain actions by its founder, and the statements of certain members of New Liberalia, the possible resumption of relations between Lazarus and Liberalia in some capacity cannot be entirely ruled out anymore. Much work, however, will remain to be done for that to happen; not least of which including possible passage by Liberalia of a locally-proposed Act of Liability apologizing for the invasion and coup, which it is thought would do much to ease remaining interregional tensions should it overcome remaining resistance by some elements within the Liberalian regional government and pass into regional law.

New Councillors Inducted!
In a long-overdue bit of regional housekeeping, the following new members were inducted into the Council of the Emerald City. Many stupendously huge congratulations are in store for...

• Omni Phantom
  
• Checked Names
  
• No_State_At_All
  
• Anmessa
  
• deitus
  
• Beowulf
  
• And last, but perhaps greatest and most-overdue: Dante! :drink:
  

A Friend Bids Farewell...
After months of crucial involvement in bringing activity to Lazarus, not least of which being to occasion the creation of a new a new sub-forum dedicated to roleplay and creative writing, as well as drawing a new Lazarene Map, High King Addarow has resigned his offices and announced his retirement from NationStates for the foreseeable future. The region offers it's deepest sadness at losing so valued and talented a member, as well as above all it's best wishes for success in the wider world beyond NationStates. As before, and in greater degree still, congratulations to Addarow are indeed in order for all that was done during his brief return.

Anniversary of the Mandate!
This month, Mandate 5.0 entered its second year of operation as the Lazarene Constitution; prompting much jubilation throughout the region at the success of this government and the remarkable stability it has brought compared to prior Lazarene constitutions. Congratulations are due to all who were involved in its creation, but especially so Viscountess and twice former-Queen North Harmoneia; without whom it would not have been drafted at all. Long may be the Age of the Fifth Mandate!
