The Mighty Herald

The Mighty Herald (MH) was a newspaper that ran from 24 April 2019 to after 16 May 2019 in Laraniem, the New Regime of Great Cyan (NRGC), The Fiercest and Donija. It was the successor of the Laraniemian Express. The following is an archive of all six editions of it.

MH vol. 1
NRGC NUMBERS DECLINING

In the past month, the New Regime of Great Cyan has seen a dramatic decline in numbers. Since Thursday, 28th of March 2019, the Regime has seen devastating numbers of nations drop, with the difference between the peak and the lowest point being a grand 50% decline, with 32 nations on the 28th March, to 16 on the 11th of April. As Great Cyan, the region's founder stated "Ouch! Numbers in NRGC just fell from 30 to 20 in one night." In the attached graph, it shows just how sharp this was.

VOTING POLLS IN LARANIEM UP TO "STAGE III"

In Laraniem, citizens are at the polls, voting for new members in parliament. The election is split into three stages: Foreign Affairs Minister election (Stage I), Environmental Minister election (Stage II) and the Recruitment Officer election (Stage III). Stages "I" and "II" are complete, with Clasta remaining in the foreign affairs position, while Thailand-Kebabistan has been named the first Environmental Minister of Laraniem. Clasta was expected to win, as he has a positive history within Laraniem in regards to political positions. As Thailand-Kebabistan was the only candidate from The Environmental Party, it was of no surprise that he got the office of Environmental Minister. These Ministers will be officially inducted into parliament once Stage III has been voted for.

-

As previously mentioned, Stage III is the vote for the Recruitment Officer in Laraniem. The candidates are: Blue Pearl and Her Playthings, current Recruitment Officer and Dolayssfina Muhat, ex-WA Delegate. Note: these candidates may have changed by the time of publication.

THE FIERCEST HAS A POLL

Yeah. There's a poll there. Exciting stuff! Yes. This is the most important news from The Fiercest at this moment in time.

NEW MEMBER IN THE ALLIANCE?

As you probably know, The Mighty Alliance consists of three regions: The Fiercest, Laraniem and the New Regime of Great Cyan. However, discussion of a fourth member is taking place. Some suggest India, Donjia and Tatenda. Nothing can be revealed at this time, but when the information is available, you can be sure to see it here in The Mighty Herald!

NRGC EXECUTIVE SEAT UP FOR GRABS

With the position of Executive Head up for election in the New Regime of Great Cyan, campaigning is as fierce as ever. The Campaigning has been taking place via telegrams and posts on the Regional Message Board, leading to wide debates about who shall be the best candidate running for the important position. There are three candidates: Brunswick Prime, New Kurusau Drumpoia and Recruitment Telegram Receiver. The party percentage for the candidates are 66% Environmental Party (Recruitment Telegram Receiver, Brunswick Prime), 33% Independent Party (New Kurusau Drumopia). With votes taken, and results recorded and announced, the new Executive Head for NRGC is

LARANIEM TESTS CITIZENS' KNOWLEDGE

The Viceroy of Laraniem, Hagston, has created a quiz on Laraniem testing the knowledge of the Laraniemian Citizens. The quiz is hosted on Survey Monkey, and is collecting information on how well the citizens actually know the region. The surprising thing is that the best scores from the quiz have been from nations outside of the region. The quiz is not only for the sake of receiving a fancy score. Prizes are to be won but will be kept as a surprise until the closing date of the 1st May, 2019.

INTERNATIONAL PARTY SPREADS TO THE FIERCEST

The Anonymous Interviewer, The Fiercest's Deputy Chief Officer has accepted and offer from Vae Cloaca to be the first to join the inter-regional political party named "The International Party." If Phelpic Republic, The Fiercest's founder is to join is to join is unknown, but with this new move, The Fiercest is back on the horse of activity. Hopes for more activity is high, but all eyes remain on Phelpic Republic to make the next move.

DONJIAN REFORMATION

Donjia has recently had a major reformation, with a nine article, 1,287 word constitution written and a senate formed. A court system is also being constructed, but not yet finished. "I think it's a good move. It organises the government better and gives us more rights." is what New Evile, Donjian Discord Manager, Ambassador Director and Senator said in a Discord post in The Mighty Alliance. When asked if any significant changes were made to the region, New Evile stated "Yes. Before this, there were no limits on the founder, and now they are limited to using their executive power to appoint officials when they are elected. Also, it created the legislative body of the Senate and the judicial Court.

In addition, jobs under the Secretaries (main jobs) were created, such as Roleplay or Appearance Director." New Evile also believes the future is looking bright for Donjia.

DONJIA JOINS "DA GANG"

On the 25th of April, Phelpic Republic reached out to Donjia requesting for them to join The Mighty Alliance. On the 26th of April, Jikook, the Donjian President, accepted the offer and so Donjia joined The Mighty Alliance. All regions in The Mighty Alliance wish Donjia the best of luck in their new position.

TMA OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE A PRIVATE CASE

Sadly, the crime case is private at the moment and no details aside from the fact that there is an investigation can be publicised. When the press silence is finished, you can be sure to read about it in The Mighty Herald!

MH vol. 3
ONE OF NRGC'S OLDEST NATIONS ON TRIAL

In a section of The Mighty Herald last week, an investigation was mentioned, but kept private. However, the case has gotten press approval, therefore letting us report it. In the recent election for Executive Head, eyes were on the candidates wondering who would win. New Kurusau Drumopia did come out on top, however puppet flooding has been brought up, leaving New Kurusau Drumopia on trial for multiple offences. The Exec. Head role was passed on to the runner-up, Recruitment Telegram Receiver; for the time being. If New Kurusau Drumopia is proven innocent, it is suspected that the role will be given to him. If proven guilty, ejection/banning will not be crossed out in regards to punishment. The trial will be held on the 12th of May on Discord.

VOTERS IN LARANIEM DECIDE TO KEEP IN FORMER MINISTERS

Clasta remains Foreign Aids Minister, while Blue Pearl and Her Playthings keeps the Recruitment Officer role. The new position of Environmental Minister was taken away by Thailand-Kebabistan. Positions not voted for were the Minister of Defence, Deputy Viceroy and Viceory.

INACTIVITY IN THE FIERCEST IS EMPLOYING "AWKWARD SILENCE CRICKETS" AT ALARMING RATES

The Fiercest is suffering from inactivity, a leading cause over-worked crickets. So many crickets are tired and distressed from making their awkward sound all day and night, as inactivity continues. When will this end?

VOTER FRAUD IN OKCHI-DONJIA MERGE VOTE DERAILS NEGOTIATIONS

Senate Opposition Leader South Kore has said: "I believe that Chancellor Artsotska rigged the merge vote. There are many reasons to support my claim:

1. If you look at it closely, many of the people who voted did it within 10 minutes of the poll being posted. Many nations were and have been active only at the same time on the RMB. However, they all suddenly became active minutes after the merge vote was opened, even with no prior notice and the region being mostly inactive.

2. They constantly reference this secretive constitution that we have never seen, and is now being rewritten. This after they said it would be too hard to merge the constitutions because theirs is too long. It seems unlikely that there is a constitution written, as it has never been seen. However, several members of government have referenced it. This makes it seem likely that Artsotska is simply saying how he believes the government should be run through puppets, without having previously have written a constitution.

3. Also voter fraud: only one voter was WA, and people such as "North Sorrika" and "South Sorrika", or "West Dowoutika" and "Dowoutika" voted, who are obviously the same person.

4. Fourt[h] Elizabeth was the one who initially revealed my proposal to withdraw embassies to the Okchi Union, shortly after it was proposed, even though the people mentioned were Croachnia and Artsotska. The separate region of Donjian Senate is not widely known to the Okchi Union (and very shortly after I posted it), which makes it suspicious, because it easily could have been that one of them (Artsotska or Croachnia, whichever account they were on first) saw the ping, and then went to see, and the made the post from that account.

5. Also, Croachnia. They originally came forward during Artsotska's civil war. Why would someone else create a nation, roleplay as a secessionist state, and be quickly promoted, and only be active the same time as Artsotska?

6. Two propositions which Jikook did not agree to or even understand were proposed, even though Donjia wouldn't even vote on it. Then halfway through the merge they withdrew, no message to Jikook or Donjia. No reason give other than the general "not the right time", and they could have said why its not the right time, or when in the future it is possible. While this is not voter fraud, it demonstrates an inept government, possible because there is only one active government members (acting through puppets)."

President Jikook has said he will be open to appointing a Special Investigator with approval of the Senate

NRGC TRIAL ON HOLD

In The New Regime of Great Cyan, the trial accusing New Kurusau Drumopia of puppet flooding and election fraud has come to a pause for unknown reasons. The trial was planned to be over with by now, but since then, no action has been taken to get to the next step. NRGC Emperor, Great Cyan, stated "As I review the election more and more, he may be innocent enough." New Kurusau Drumopia has pleaded "not-guilty" to the accusations. Is New Kurusau Drumopia innocent or guilty? Only he himself knows.

LARANIEM DECIDES ON WHO TAKES THE TOP-JOB

Laraniem will once again be heading to the polls, but this time the position up for grabs is a much higher role to be filled. The Viceroy is a position currently held by Hagston, who has held the position for most of Laraniem's history after being assigned by Vae Cloaca, the Founder, at a very early age in the region. This election will be the first of it's kind in Laraniem's history. The announcement was made on the 24th of May by Vae Cloaca through an RMB post saying "Soon we will have an election for Viceroy. Only party leaders are eligible for candidates. You will be voting for the leader whose party will be government. (The Government is different to the Parliament)." The election will be based on voting for the governing party, whose leader will become Viceroy. Campaigning period has started.

#GIVETHECRICKETSABREAK SWEEPS THROUGH THE FIERCEST

The Fiercest has finally launched the much needed recruitment campaign named "#GiveTheCricketsABreak". Phelpic Republic, the region's founder, has announced the campaign through a poll asking nations if they are willing to participate in recruiting for The Fiercest. In the poll's description, Phelpic Republic wrote "This region has become frighteningly inactive. I want to start a recruitment campaign so that The Fiercest can become something more. #GiveTheCricketsABreak". Is this the start of a new era in The Fiercest. Just because the region is a bit quiet and is not rich in numbers, it does not mean the size and potential of the region isn't big. The Fiercest has its main region, The Fiercest Allied Army Corps (FAAC) and was the founding member of The Mighty Alliance, a largely successful alliance that consists of 5 regions, when all together have 64 nations.

NRGC'S END IS IN SIGHT

Great Cyan, the founder and builder of The New Regime of Great Cyan is retiring NationStates, as formally announced in an RMB post stating "Attention all residents, embassies and alliances.

I will no.longer [sic] be on NationStates. As many have noticed, I have become dormant and very inactive, as this is for personal life not allowing for much game play.

My nation of Zer01324 is now named Emperor of New Regime of Great Cyan and Great Empire of Great Cyan, but will not be active enough to rule." It has come as a shock to many, as it is the end of a wonderful nation, who will go down in the books for reviving a fallen Empire. Great Cyan, the Emperor, had his last wish as Emperor to pardon New Kurusau Drumopia from his accusations. This is what he said in The Mighty Alliance's Discord: "It is Kuru will be pardoned. He has shaped the region, and is as old as I was when I [refounded] the empire." Discussions are taking place in TMA in regards to NRGC, and whether it shall stay or leave the Alliance.

CITIZENS OF LARANIEM NOT VOTING

In the current election in Laraniem, where the Government and Viceroy are up for vote, few nations have laid down their opinion in the poll section of the region. Vae Cloaca, Laraniem's founder says "Despite there being four days left to vote, it is disappointing to see that nations either are not active enough, or simply don't care."

As Vae Cloaca stated, there are still four days left to vote. Hagston is currently in the lead, but only by one vote; the only vote.

MAJOR CHANGES IN THE UEN IDEOLOGY "UENUNISM"

The United Essentan Nations, founder of the UEN, has created a new ideology. After weeks of it existing, the creator has made some major changes in the factbook explaining it. These changes include:

"The government may control every business that is not among the top 14 economically advanced companies.

Minor issues will be voted upon by the government, not the public. Larger issues are to be voted on by the government, or if chosen, the public. It is up to the government to make this decision."

To this:

"All companies will be run by the government but a company may choose to be independent if they so wish. The government may not make any profit from independent companies and may only have 35% of a company’s profits if it is government run. The public may vote on anything but first the government must approve of it."

NRGC BEING REVIVED BY DRUMOPIA

New Kurusau Drumopia, a nation who has been in NRGC since almost the start, has started a campaign to bring the falling Empire back up to its feet, after taking a dramatic fall from 24 nations to 10 nations in just over two weeks following the retirement of Great Cyan, the founder of the region. New Kurusau Drumopia started the campaign in an RMB post on the 4th of June stating:

"Well now it's up to us: the first thing we need to do is to advertise and get more people in the region

Second thing we need to do is have activities that get people excited to be in our region. I will be resuming the daily poll shortly

Another thing that Cyan expressed with me as a problem was the war, I propose that to solve this problem of super nations is that every set while the map would reset( every month or 3 months). He had a problem with the point system but I have a system in my computer that will keep track of them.

Another idea I give full credit to hagston is to have a newspaper that talks about current events.

And as a yearly event we could have a MAINLY region wide trading card auction: this has flaws though as others could join in that were not in our region.

Another thing would be a once in a while basis thing where we take notice of a region that has the highest economy, defense force, etc

We also need a good ally forces with other regions.

Something we should have already had before cyan left is a story of how our region started

We also need the help of everyone to propose new laws to help enhance the regional experience and [relationships.]"

WA DELEGATE BACK IN THE DONJIAN SEAT

Amid Donjian Elections, New WA Delegate Rises to Power.

In the beginning of the month of June, the elections for the Secretaries of Donjia began. So far, Stather (LIB) has been elected to the position of Secretary of State, while incumbent Secretaries Bvergia (LIB-Interior) and New Evile (LIB-Foreign Affairs) being reelected. The Donjian Liberal Party (LIB) has so far seen a wave in their direction, stemming from the lack of support for the relatively inactive Conservative Party (CON), who have lost almost every election in a landslide, and the modest support for the Center Alliance Party (CAP), whose Chair recently faced controversy (and also some inactivity). Chair Islas Aaland, who recently lost reelection as Secretary of State (and lost Secretary of Interior to incumbent Bvergia), also resigned as WA Delegate recently, leaving the position empty after four days. However, he endorsed the nation R a v e n C l a w, who shortly became WA Delegate. R a v e n C l a w is also a member of the newly formed Freedom Party (FRE), who will be fielding New Creth for the recently created position of Secretary of Justice. He will be facing off Senate Leader Rutabagastan (LIB), who is favored to win.
