[/u] - Over the past month, Commissioner Bennet, Forgein Affairs, tried to intensify the Recruiting Programme. Despite her efforts, the nation count in the region declined from 169 to 152.
- Mrs Bennet also wrote an embassy review, dedicated to reviewing embassies with other regions, and how the EU could improve these diplomatic facilities.
- Forgein Affairs Commissioner Colleen Bennet sadly passed away this month. Following her death, a special election was held. In this election, three candidates were nominated, but the electoral battle was fought between Ianna Varlet from Kryuland, ALDGE; and Augustus Barrington, from Inimicus, UEC. Barrington won the election by 2 votes, therefore he took Colleen's place at the end of the month.
- Internal Affairs Commissioner Blair von Schroeder is currently consulting the Union on the controversial subject of the death penalty. Already, the two sides of the debate have spoken their mind.
- The Internal Affairs Commissioner also dedicated a lot of time to the recent developments in the New Romulan Empire, where a disastrous civil war is currently being waged
- In co-orporation with the Internal Affairs commissioner, Commissioner for Defence and Peacekeeping Karolinasz Jaedala offered the Council a consultation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender members of the armed forces. The LGBT consultation is, according to commissioner Jaedala, "...now closed and in review..."
- The Economics Commission, led by Marie Rivas, has been relatively quiet during the last term.
- The complete results of the special election are: Augustus BARRINGTON (Inimicus, UEC) - 10; Ianna VARLET (Kryuland, ALDGE) - 8; Malika AYANE (Marrakechia, Independent) - 1
European Court of Justice news[/u] - Justice Idla Bcassj of Kryuland resigned this month due to increased health issues. Her health had gone backwards the past months, and she found it time to abandon her office. She said herself: "... I can not let my already-weakened faculty of judgement and common sense to influence my judgement onto other people..."
- After Justice Bcassj's resignation, an ECoJ election was called, with two nominations: Ralph Haley, Inimicus, and William Hague, Davishire. Hague won the election by far.
Council news - Late Commissioner Bennet prosposed the subject of Cultural Ambassadors to the council. These ambassadors are to report EU developments, such as these updates, to other regions.
- An amendment to the European Relief Force Act was passed. This amendment improves deployability of the ERF
- The Amendment to the Nuclear Test Regulations Act was prosposed by Davishire, but met fierce opposition from member states and was evetually removed from the council floor without voting.
- The prosposed European Olympic Committee Act was met with laudatory comments as well as criticisms. The latter remarks were mostly made by the councillors from Northern Caesarea and Gun-Toting Animals. The proposing councillor from Großdeutsches Reich withdrew the prosposal before voting could commence.
Other news[/b][/u]
- A huge civil war has erupted in the Balkan Socialist Federation. Romulus, a general, overthrew the government and formed the New Romulan Empire. Romulus died quickly, though, after which the Empire was divided into four different territories, each led by a former Romulan general. Every one of the generals has their own reasons why they should be crowned Emperor
- The five generals in the New Romulan Empire have met the Internal Affairs commissioner in a series of summits to resolve the conflict.
- One of these generals has also met the Inimician Emperor. In this brief meeting, Loukianos (the general) and the Emperor supposedly struck a secret deal in which the Inimician monarch supplied Loukianos's army with medical supplies and food in return for minerals.
- Northern Caesarea has held elections. The new government consists of Socialdemocrats, Greens, Republicans and leftist regional parties.
- Davishire's Forgein and Commonwealth Minister was held in a long hostage situation in a bank. The terrorists held the minister for days, after which he was liberated by police forces.
- Bakrova has changed government. After the elections, the new President, Maia Sjova, was inaugurated.
- The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for a Green Europe have gathered in Pax Aurea for a conference. The Greens are mainly discussing Green bills and laws in the European Union, and coming up with suggestions how this kind of legislation can sucessfully pass the council floor.
- Representatives from Os Corelia and the Großdeutsches Reich have met in Os Corelia to discuss a possible Union of the two states. The Os Corelian viscount met the prosposal with agreemeny, "...provided the public vote for it of course!", as he said himself.
- After being elected to the Commission, Marie Rivas had to give up her place in the Council. A new councillor was elected, a socialdemocrat named Hugo Basescu. He joined the Socialists & Democrats europarty.
- Blair von Schroeder, elected to the Internal Affairs Commission, had to give up het coucil seat, as well. She was replaced by a UEC'er named Heather von Henderson from Red Croatia's Party of International Relations.
- The civil war in New Romulan Empire has taken the lives of over 20,000 men and women. Not only soldiers were killed, civilian casualties were many, as well. Internal Affairs Commissioner Von Schroeder is currently trying to resolve the situation by diplomatic skill instead of military power. However, the most extreme of the generals, Loukianos, is not co-orporating with Von Henderson's plans. It is still unclear whether or not the conflict can be resolved peacefully, as many nations have already declared their support for either of the five generals.
That's it for now! Until next month!

The Untied States:
I would like ask the Senate President to call to order a special session to discuss the military aid request from The Mystical Land of Shadar of the The Roma Confederacy Region.
The Federal Union of The Anean Tribes:
At the request of my honourable counterpart, i call this meeting of the senate to order. The topic for discussion are the aide requests US mentioned above.
The Untied States:
Approximately two days ago, our regional delegate was contacted by The Mystical Land of Shadar. The smaller region he represents, The Roma Confederacy, has been formally declared war on by both The Confederacy and The Black Riders. They are seeking allies to help them in this struggle. According to Shadar, they are not on the offensive, but are only trying to hold that which they already own. They are requesting that we establish an embassy with them, formalize our relationship status, and, in the event that the two offensive groups attacking, provide defensive military aid if necessary.
My proposition is that we begin exploring a diplomatic relationship with this region. Furthermore, as a good faith measure, we offer to provide military assistance in the near term future should they be attacked, however the stipulation is that in no way does New Republica wish to be the aggressor in this conflict. Our aid will be only for the purpose of Peace-Keeping and Defense.
Thoughts?
Also, I motion we extend the voting period on this proposal so as to allow input from all of the senators.
The Democratic Republic of The Republic rome:
The region is in stand-bye as ordered by me the Acting President of the region until the senate could convene and decide about it.
The Federal Union of The Anean Tribes:
It is my opinion that we formalize relations and thats it. We are at a complicated point at this time and i think it unwise that we get FORMALLY involved. However, i would not stop any volunteer nations from going to their aide.
Ad per US's request voting will be extended to 24 hours or until all three members have voted.
The Republic of DardoIllyria:
We as a region should only be involved if the basic human rights are being violated or if a dictatorial force is trying to invade that region.
The Federal Union of The Anean Tribes:
I agree Dardo
The Untied States:
I share your concerns about involvement, I feel as though this small region would be a great ally in the future.
I motion to call a vote on formalizing diplomatic relations with The Roma Confederacy. The formalization of relations would include making contact with the The Roma Confederacy, and building an embassy within their borders. Furthermore, it would entitle them to Ally status.
The Federal Union of The Anean Tribes:
I feel they have the potential, but we don't know enough about them to be certain yet. Until they're actually invaded i think we should steer clear. I do think an embassy should be established though. I say we vote in the embassy now.
The Untied States:
I concur.
I vote aye on creation of an embassy.
The Federal Union of The Anean Tribes:
On the embassy i vote Aye as well.
The Untied States:
Moving on, I motion that we send a formal letter of friendship to The Roma Confederacy whereupon we describe our current diplomatic stance.
Proposed correspondence:
Greetings to our friends within The Roma Confederacy,
We would like to extend to you the title of Ally out of friendship and admiration. We currently have an embassy constructed within your great region, and we intend to keep it open and ambassadors present. Unfortunately, at this time, we simply cannot allocate military resources to your region. Please, do not take this negatively. We will reevaluate this stance should you, indeed, being attacked by a foreign aggressor. We, at present, can offer you an ambassador to act as a mediator and those whom has sought war with you. We hope to have a fruitful relationship with you in the future, and we will work feverishly to keep our current diplomatic channels open. Please keep us apprised of your situation.
All the best,
Senate President Anean Tribes
Senator DardoIllyria
Senator Untied States

World Assembly Delegate: Occoron
Premier: Peter Montfort, Angleter (UEC) Foreign Affairs: Colleen Bennet, Rhine Ruhr (ECL) Defence and Peacekeeping:Karolinasz Jaedala, Os Corelia (ALDGE) Economics: Marie Rivas, Northern Caesarea (S&D) Internal Affairs: Blair von Schroeder, Red Croatia (UEC)

Commission News- The Office of Foreign Affairs has had its ups and downs during the month of August. Recruiting efforts have increased and at one point European Union reached its record high population at 189 nations. These efforts however were countered by what is commonly referred to in NationStates as "the summer slump". The net population went down 9 nations since the end of July.
- Internal Affairs Commissioner Blair von Schroeder approached European Council members with a re-instigation to explore options for drafting environmental legislation. A second attempt at passing The Ocean Protection Act is currently being discussed.
- The Office of Defense and Peacekeeping has handed awarded its first ever European Union Peace Prize. The award was given posthumously to Julia Glorius, the former President of Pax Aurea. Glorius served as President of Pax Aurea until she was brutally murdered as part of the Christmas Day attacks last December. Glorius was nominated by Rhinian President Fredrick Jeffery who said "President Julia Glorius should be posthumously given this prestigious honor for an entire lifetime dedicated to serving the people and keeping the peace. Glorius has left behind a grandiose legacy of humanitarianism leading efforts such as "Operation Hope" in the Western Sahara, "Operation Enduring Hope" in Dromund Kaas, and the "Roadmap to Peace" Conference. Julia also loathed violence, condemning acts of aggression across the region on many occasions. President Glorius was a leading figure in European Union who to this day holds a strong influence over many nations and politicians alike. Following her lead, many European nations adopted pacifists' stances and many discarded their militaries. President Glorius wasn't afraid to fight either, leading the way for increased social justice in our region. Julia Glorius was an amazing woman that believed in two fundamental European values: freedom and peace. That is why she deserves this honor."
- Commissioners Jaedala and von Schroeder have completed the Europolis Security Review survey and have published their findings. Defense Commissioner Karolinasz Jaedala wrote a summary of the study's findings: " After a lengthy discussion with Commissioner von Schroeder we believed that nations should be free to provide their own security. We would advise a central security body to be set up where national security can cooperate with the exiting Europolis security to effectively transmit information about threats. We also believe the choice should be available, although if Europolis services are used I would recommend that nations pay for this provision through contracting. This way we are ensuring fair use of the budget which should be for citizens. This also keeps the forces in Europolis neutral."
- Defense Commissioner Karolinasz Jaedala took to the European Council to bring the topic of nuclear weapons and their regulation. The Consultation on the Place of Nuclear Weapons received the greatest amount of attention by the Council throughout the month of August. Several Councilors expressed a desire to see the abolishment of Nuclear Weapons while on the other end of the spectrum Councilor Hughs argued for the dismantling of the European Nuclear Applications Authority, the only nuclear regulatory force of the European Union. A majority of Councilors felt that the current state of European nuclear affairs is where they need to be and that no changes should be made. A compelling speech from Councilor Roebuck of Gun-Toting Animals in which argued the prevailing opinion while also re-educating the Council on the nuclear history of European Union can be read here.
Court News- There is no new news from The European Court of Justice for the month of August.
Council News- The European Council finally authorized the deployment of the European Relief Force to the Caribbean following the aftermath of Hurricane Athena in July. A total of 260 million euros will be spent on the humanitarian efforts in Sint Maarten and the Aurean Provinces of Colonial Nova and Provincia Celesta. The ERF is expected to spend the next six months in the area providing aid to displaced residence while their respective nations begin reconstruction efforts.
- Councilor Roebuck of Gun-Toting Animals has presented an amendment to the European Relief Force Act that will allow the ERF to be immediately deployed by the Economics Commissioner while the Council deliberates further action. This amendment is in response to the thirty-seven day discussion by the Council regarding the deployment to the Caribbean.
Other News- The government of North Europa has created two new ministries within the executive branch: The Ministry of Public Order and Protection of the Citizens and The Ministry of Merchant Marine & Arctic Islands. While the latter is a completely new office, the Ministry of Public Order and Protection of the Citizens was split from the Ministry of Justice. The former Ministry of Transport & Housing has been renamed the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Networks.
- King William VIII of West Embria has decided to vacate the throne and install a new republican system of government. The announcement came during the festivities surrounding the Kingdom's 19th anniversary of the end of the Embrian Civil War. William VIII is expected to vacate the throne on the 1st of September.
- The Confederate Assembly has approved a massive military expansion for Gun-toting Animals. Included in the spending increases is a project to develop a missile defense system.
- A gay rights parade in Telum, Inimicus ends in tragedy after a riot broke out leading to the deployment of the Imperial Guard. After clashes between the protestors and Imperial Guard aided by the Riot Police, thirty people were discovered dead. The dead include protesters and law enforcement alike.
- The trial of Former Aurean Homeland Security Minister Junia Falco is currently ongoing. Four major charges have been brought up against Falco in this trial: gross misuse of power in office, illegal gathering of intelligence, violation of the Constitution's civil rights articles, and the persecution of a religious group. Falco's surveillance operation "Wolves Among Sheep" allegedly targeted the Catholic Church in Pax Aurea, its clergy, layman groups, seminars, and even private confessions.
- The Balkan Socialist Federation launched the Proton VI rocket which contained the LandSurveyor 1 Satellite which will sit at low-earth orbit. The Balkan Space Agency too sent a trio of astronauts into space for the first time in the nation's history.
- Protests have been breaking out all over the Balkan Socialist Federation in a display against the nation's socialist policies. The populace has grown tired of higher taxation coupled with high unemployment.
- King Stenbren of the Imperial Commonwealth of Davishire has abdicated the throne and King Hubert has been officially crowned. Along with the changes in Monarch, the Imperial Commonwealth too will be seeing a change in Prime Minister. Prime Minister Rt Hon David Cameron MP will be replaced by current Secretary of State for Justice Rt Hon John Williams MP. Cameron will act as the Secretary for State of Justice for a short period of time.
- Eurovoice XVIII concluded in the month of August. The Microstate of Inquista won the contest with the song "Next to Me" performed by Emeli Sandé. The winning performance can be viewed here
- The Imperial Commonwealth of Davishire and the Balkan Socialist Federation have signed a joint defense agreement. In addition to the defensive pact, the two nations have also agreed to cooperate in the field of Space Development.
That's all for now, see you next month!
