Hello TWP, My name is Wonder Woman, and here in TWP, I'm Holy Wonder! I was once a citizen here, and I've returned. Since we last met, I've been a busy girl all over NS. I've decided to come back to TWP, and work to better our region. I'm happy to call this home, and be apart of TWP!

In our Theater District, our province based roleplay was launched at the beginning of the month. Soon after Orphans of Rome, a character based roleplay following the struggles and tribulations of poor orphans in Imperial Rome, was also launched. In the Temple District the worship of the Most High Gods, the regional religion of Mare Nostrum, was reinvigorated as more scripture has been revealed. The University has also had a busy month. Crushita Telcontar has been appointed as Dean of the University and the month has seen the introduction of new lectures and continuation of older ones. Crushita himself teaches a course on the History of Islam. In other parts of the region, the Tribunate of Culture has also launched a Poetry Contest and other regularly scheduled events such as: weekly games, voice-chats, and discussions, continue as planned. The Census Proof that I’m surrounded by noobs Have you ever wondered just who you are playing NationStates with? We sure did and we set out to find out. At the end of November and beginning of December, the government of Mare Nostrum conducted a voluntary census of our regional population. Mainly consisting of simple demographic information such as age or country of residence. The results of the survey revealed a great deal about who we are as a community. While some information was almost a given, such as the majority of our members being male or from America. We also found interesting and unexpected results, which revealed diversity in our community that we were not aware of. Apparently we are incredibly political diverse and ethnically diverse. Political Shuffling Fancy stickers make everything better Not a month goes by in Mare Nostrum without elections occurring. December was no exception. At the start of the month we had our regularly scheduled Senatorial Elections. Ten individuals stood for the Senate, but only seven could be elected per the Imperial Electoral Regulations. The Optimates dominated the election, garnering five seats for their party, the other two seats being split between an Independent and a member of the Populares. With their commanding majority, the Optimates re-elected Rex Ciphra to serve as Senatorial Prefect once more. During the month, our World Assembly Delegate resigned from her position and a snap election had to be held. Two candidates stood and in the end Shapirius was decisively elected. We will end December and begin January with elections for the Tribunal Prefect, where the Optimates will seek to defend their position. Happenings....
