FRA Update

Members & Government
Members of the Cabinet and Regional Assembly have been working dilligently through August. The Regional Assembly has discussed and taken to vote the first four articles of the FRA Charter as part of Arch-Chancellor Sedge's drive to reduce ambiguity in the Charter, a short discussion on protectorates, and reorganizations of the diplomatic department and constant activity from the regional development offices!

Discussion has also been taking place about the eagerly awaited NS2, in which the second round of beta invites are rumoured to have gone out today! Common responses include, "which world should I pick?" and "I have to pay to have a custom flag? Wtf?" To follow the NS2 discussion in our Nightlife forum, click here (registration required).

In other news, Numero Capitan announced the successful refounding of the region Venice. Numero especially noted the efforts of Tycholand of Equilism and the Red Army of the Soviet Union in the successful operation, and the Cabinet would like to pass along our thanks to them as well.

On a sadder note, long-time independent Ranger Island Union announced his resignation earlier this month. Island Union was a valued Ranger, and we wish him all the best in his other NationStates endeavours.

Member Regions
August has seen a flurry of activity, including several changes to our membership - both positive and negative.

The Regional Assembly voted twice since the last update on accepting new member regions, both times voting yes by wide margins. Soviet Confederation was welcomed by a unanimous vote, and the Council of Narnia were accepted with a vote of ten yes, and a single abstain. The Cabinet would like to welcome warmly these two new member regions to the Alliance, and we hope for a long, healthy future working with them in NationStates and beyond in the defense of founderless regions.

Unfortunately, with the good must come the bad: Liberalia's Parliament has narrowly voted in favour of withdrawl from the FRA. We're sad to see a long-time member region go, and we wish them the best of luck within NationStates and into NationStates 2.

Rangers
The Rangers have had a busy month, with successful defenses in several regions, including Paris, Albion, and a long engagement in Rajahland.

The Ranger of the Month for July, 2008 was Numero Capitan, from 00000 A World Power. Congratulations to him!
