Q102 Updates for July 26!
Numbers
We are currently at a high of 160 nations, thanks to a push on recruiting. This influx has meant we have moved up to 38th in the regional rankings list (yey!), causing region-wide celebrations.
UN
At the moment the votes are tied for the Biological Weapons Ban resolution, not many people are interested in the resolutions at the moment so there is no clear indication of regional favour either for or against.
Government
We passed the Breach of Neutrality Act defining how the Free Port legislation affects the actions of Ministers and other officials, amongst other things. It includes a ban on UN members of other regional forces from using Q102 as a resting place as this could be perceived as bias in favour of that region. Non UN nations from other regions are still very welcome.
Security
Sandy White Beaches has resigned as Field Marshal of the Q102 Protection Divison.
Pacifist Cowards is the suggested successor. Parliament currently votes on this matter.
The new recruitment slogan: "Join the defence force, and sit on your arse all day drinking alcohol"
Foreign Affairs
We have visitors from the nation New Caldari touring the region at the moment, visiting many places in order to get a better understanding of our region as a whole.
We also hope to open a new embassy in the near future, possibly a Pacific one again. News to follow - watch this space!

Updates! What's Hot In Quasifunland 102
Sad News
Earlier this week our Founder, Schotze, decided to take a short break from the game. He will still be around, saying howdy and whatnot, but will no longer be active in an official role.
Numbers
We are currently quite settled at just above 150 nations; recruitment has been quieter recently but this is more due to the summer die-off season rather than a lack of motivation from our recruiters.
UN
Freedom Of Conscience voting as follows....
YESterday, all my troubles seemed so far away [6]
No, no, never! No, never, no more! [5]
I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. [1]
As you can see, we're doing anything to make this voting more fun... smile.gif
Government
With the temporary departure of two of our Senators leaving us a bit stuck, we are currenly voting on whether to alter our Government system. The more democratic alternative is a Council, where members elect a First Councilman Delegate who then appoints the Council of Q102 to run the region. Each Councillor is responsible for running a Ministry. We will update you on the status of this change in the near future.
In other Government news, Anime Fandom x was recently appointed Deputy Security Minister, a role which he is performing brilliantly.
Foreign Affairs
We have opened a new embassy this week, in the region of Canada, after short talks between the Foreign Ministers of Canada and Q102. We are also looking at the possibility of alliances with well-established embassies.
We are also hoping to to host an inter-regional conference with Canada on the role and etiquette of Ambassadors Interested people should contact Nevareion(Q102) or Judith Gap(Canada).
Security
The nations of Gyraphrodite and EvilSlaveKeepers were ejected after UN rule violations and use of offensive language on the forum chatrooms. Hopefully this will serve as a warning to other nations!
General
The People's Republic Of Loafa has begun organising the Loafstock Festival, to be held later in the year, in which the musical sensations of each nation perform to adoring crowds for the sheer fun of it. Star turns include Farq-Orf, Gitaru Apes, Khatziyannis, Parliament, Pink Crazed Idol Minds, Rock Like A Sissy Girl and The Holy Idiots.
Nevareion has also given a new surge of life to our Sporting calendar with the introduction of the Q102 American Football Champions League. Many nations have signed up to play, although as yet most don't really know the rules... However, the games will hopefully be a success - we'll let you know!!!
Regional Anthem
After discussions revealed an appalling lack of a regional anthem, the nations of Q102 rallied together to thought-shower some ideas. At the moment, the contenders are:
-Italian National Anthem (1 vote)
-Bulgarian National Anthem (1 vote)
-Russian National Anthem (2 votes)
-Trinidad and Tobago Anthem (4 votes)
plus an imaginative song by Pacifist_Cowards and a short burst of TV song contributed by Haken.

OOC: Everyone is heading back to school, with many people off to attend university. As a result, our board has been less active than usual. Some of our hot topics of late:
Q102 Regional Anthem: We are currently trying to decide on an anthem for our region.
Ever Get That Feeling?: In this thread, we discuss what we do while at work to keep ourselves entertained.
Nev's Uni Help Line: A fairly new, yet popular thread started by our First Councilman Delegate, Nevareion. He has kindly offered his extensive knowledge about all aspects of university. As there are many newcomers to university life, Nev has proven to be a very helpful resource.
Here ya go! Fresh News!

The Rather Overdue But Unbeatably Fantastic Q102 Update - You Know You Want It
WARNING: Considering how much stuff there seems to be this week, we advise you to stock up on hot drinks, comfy chairs and tasty totally-unhealthy-but-damn-tasty snacks before reading this!
News Just In!
Last minute news, Q102 in association with The West Pacific will be co-hosting a conference on Roleplay Protocols, to be held at Q102's International Conference Centre.All regions interested in sending a delegate should get in contact with Nevareion via their ambassador.
Nations
Well, we've had a fair few new nations through our forum doors lately, so a big HELLO! to them! They're already getting stuck in with RP and livening the place up.
Also, we have to mention the happy (albeit brief) reappearance of one of our older nations, Lamedud, who gave us all a nice surprise when he popped in to say howdy again!
Government
After what seems like a lifetime of debating, the High Court Proposal has finally been passed, meaning we now have a proper, (almost) fully-working legal system for those evil, foolish people who dare cause trouble! We're now in the process of choosing nice, fair judges who can preside over any proceedings that may take place.
This week, we also see the welcome return of our both our Councillor for Hospitality, Sandy White Beaches, and our Councillor for Foreign Affairs, FluffyPinkBunnyGirl, who have been otherwise detained for the past few weeks. Hopefully with their return Q102 will be back to its normal, cheery and amazingly random self! (If it's not, we don't know what we'll do!)
Regional goings-on [courtesy of the Regional Message Board (RMB) Brigade]
GOVERNMENT: Well this week the major topic is the High Court (as detailed above). Also the Supplement to the Free Port Act is at vote and is currently winning by a large majority, but there is still a while to go on this horse. And finally this week saw the tragic downfall of the act to prosecute non-endorsers, with it's fatal flaws been shown, it is has gone back to the drawing board.
EVENTS: Civil war in Nevareion enters a new stage, as the opposition is starting a major assault on the capital. This time, a huge number of well trained soldier is involved on the rebells side. Tanks and Infantery movements are reported towards the Airport and the outer parts of Nevareia City.
Elsewhere New Caldari is still in alert, but not in war yet. Political Circumstances are watched with deep concerns.
RANDOM: As usual, the Spam/Flash Games are hectic. Heat is building up as nations exchange dramatic comments on one another in "Describe the Poster Above" and "The ^ < v Game". If that doesn't tickle your fancy then please go and try out "Word Association"! Which is a hit forum to forum. And if not.. then random things happen in the chatroom when people are in there... and i do mean random! And of course you can't forget the random rants people have going! Like "Those Oh My God moments"! check these out and more on the forums!
With Schotze's glorious return to the forums, has started up the "Song of the Day" thread in which he posts the lyrics to some songs. A newer member, Joe Bobs, has started a thread called "American Politics" Where you can post yer thoughts on the americain politics. So be sure to check these out.
General
We are proud and happy to announce the reintroduction of the Q102 Paper, with reporters in the field giving us minute-by-minute details of the events unfolding in our region and elsewhere. With our former delegate Peachydom residing as Editor, the reporters are as follows:
Inter-regional = Zakaroo
Political = A Few Good Men
International = Joe Bobs
War = Pacifist Cowards
Sport = Cruzendale
Thanks to everyone who's offered to help, we hope to make this resurrection as successful as the last paper!
Hot Topics
-Talk Like A Pirate Day - It's a real, official day!! November 4th for those of you who want to join in!
- People Past - discussing those nations sadly no longer with us, and sorely missed.
- The Day You Arrived - recalling those days so long ago when we were new to the wonderful world of NS and the region of Q102 (if we can remember that far back!)
Until next time, toodles!
