World Assembly

The office of the World Assembly Delegate has returned to normalcy after Indie Lovers was elected to take our region forward in the halls of the WA in a very close election. The new Delegate seized the WA Delegacy 8 days ago and will serve a term of 5 NS Years (100 days). One of his first acts as Delegate was to commission a complete renovation of the World Assembly Conference Centre which has been made more fit to purpose and efficient.

Regional Politics
The region eagerly awaits the Council of Guardians decision on the the recommendation for Statutory Reform. A Council spokesperson has revealed that they are hours away from having a deal on the table for debate. With this, the Delegate amendment and the preparation for Independence Day Celebrations, Parliament has remained relatively quiet over the last couple of weeks.

Featured Nation

The Holiday State of Reparadocs

Reparadocs was nominated by last years winner, Mestra, and was duly approved by the Council of Guardians. Reparadocs served as World Assembly Delegate and Chairman of Parliament until recently and has been heavily involved in the Atlantis Trade Commission, taking lead on its most promising venture: The Atlantic Stock Exchange. Further more he is contributing greatly to the cultural side of the region and provides a voice of reason in the Council of Guardians. Atlantis would, quite simply, not be the same without him.

Because of his steadfast work, his good nature, and his slowly growing family, ^_^, I would like to nominate Reparadocs as the next featured nation. Rep has done great work for Atlantis, and was also the first Chairman of Parliament.

I have thought about this, and while others would be good candidates, I think its Reparadocs' time to shine.

Reparadocs is top 10% in the World for Most Avoided and has one of the top 5% Automobile Manufacturing Sectors in Atlantis

News in Brief
The Atlantic Stock Exchange officially opened its doors this week after Reparadocs, the mastermind behind the operation, cut the red ribbon. At once, stock brokers from around the world began calling out numbers and words that we had no understanding of but it seems to be going well. It has always been the ambition of the region to have a stock exchange and the day is finally here.

The ASE opens its doors

The Royal Bank of Atlantis has been called into disrepute after the representative from Reparadocs threatened to sue regarding unpaid bond payments. The newly appointed Governor of the Bank, the The Halfwits, had already conveyed plans to handle the situation and was hoping to resolve the situation quietly but the threats of legal ation have blow the inefficiencies of the Bank into the open.

The Bank has also had troubles after a string or robberies in Atlantis over the last few days. The King decided to take personal action after he himself suffered robbery attempts 45 times on the way to the Palace by some unnamed deviant.

Dodger has also been accused of robbing the King and also has been given a formal warning and a fine of 100 Atlantian Credits for suggesting we move to Zetaboards.

Finally, a corporate war broke out yesterday in Atlantis between supporters of Mac OS X, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Pandemic hit the region for a few hours but the Software's got bored and no-one went bankrupt.

Independence Day
Independence Day will be celebrated on 9th March marking the 2nd Anniversary of the Re-founding of Atlantis after raider occupation. Preparations are being made for a Memorial to those we have lost over the last two years, a State Celebratory Dinner in honour of the battle for Independence and games. All are welcome to join in and more info will be posted in the coming days.

We are curious to know whether you are a machine or not and so, in the interests of science, we would like to see a mod where you text in your movements for us to study behavioral patterns
