Barzai Ux Loddhan Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 December 2018 Update Regional Forums | Discord Server [region]The Empire of Mare Nostrum[/region] Emperor: Paulus Augustus Praetorian Prefect: Khosrow Legatus Prefect: Thomas Insaniac Legatus: Khosrow Vicarius: Barzai ux Loddhan Tribunal Prefect: Sarah Tribune of Naturalization: Germanicus Tribune of Culture: AngryScientist77 Tribune of Communications: Drinarius People’s Tribune: Cinna Senatorial Prefect: Rex Ciphra Delegate: Shapirius Cultural Endeavours Dean Telcontar prepares his lecture notes Culture took center stage in the Empire during the month of December. 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.... The Empire celebrated Christmas by having a festival with our friends in Osiris We are proud to have been named as Best New Region at the 2018 Gameplay Awards Praetorian Prefect Khosrow has been inducted into the Order of the Crow, for his service to the region domestically.

Barzai Ux Loddhan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 January 2019 Update Regional Forums | Discord Server [region]The Empire of Mare Nostrum[/region] Emperor: Rex Ciphra Praetorian Prefect: Khosrow Legatus Prefect: Thomas Insaniac Legatus: Khosrow Vicarius: Barzai ux Loddhan Tribunal Prefect: Sarah Tribune of Naturalization: Bdurham07 Tribune of Culture: AngryScientist77 Tribune of Communications: Drinarius People’s Tribune: Lord Eros Anphedite Senatorial Prefect: Lord Eros Anphedite Delegate: Shapirius Hail Emperor Ciphra! The humble crown of our New Emperor Senatorial Prefect and an original founder of the Empire, Rex Ciphra, has ascended to the highest office in the Empire. On January the 20th, in full attendance by the Triumvirate, the Praetorian Prefect, the Revelators of the Most High, the citizenry of the Empire, and the general public, Rex Ciphra was crowned as Rex Ciphra Pertinax, Augustus of Mare Nostrum. The occasion was marked with speeches from government figures, kind remarks from citizens and diplomatic friends, and with general revelry. Rex is one of the original founders of Mare Nostrum. In his time here, he has served as Senatorial Prefect, a Revelator of the Most High Gods, and as an active soldier in the Marian Legions, along with immense contributions to our community socially. His ascension to the Imperial Office follows the departure of Paulus Gaius. Rex Ciphra will serve as the third Emperor of Mare Nostrum. His position as Senatorial Prefect is succeeded by Lord Eros Anphedite. Legatus Developments Sigil of the First Class Urban Cohort January was a rather busy month for the Marian Legions. The highlight of the month was our participation in the successful campaign in Politics Amino. In an operation headed by the Osiran Sekhmet Legion, the Marian Legion were a part of the update and occupying force. In recognition of the campaign, the Legion has released the Politics Amino Campaign Ribbon to all troops who participated. January also saw the Marian Legions participate as a piling force in St Abbadon, and in the attempted occupation of Grand Central. During this time period, the Marian Legions also participated in regular tag raiding and training operations. In other parts of the Legatus, January saw the launch of the Urban Cohort program. The Urban Cohort is a domestic World Assembly Development Initiative seeking to recognize and reward those members of the region who have successfully joined the World Assembly and have endorsed the regional delegate. The Urban Cohort is divided into classes, recognizing those who have just joined the World Assembly and further recognizing those who have endorsed the regional delegate. The program is expected to continue in the following months, in order to continually reward and build the regional World Assembly base. Happenings.... Lord Eros Anphedite has been appointed to serve as People’s Tribune The Marian Roleplay Community has seen a particularly active month, especially in the Orphans of Rome RP. January elections concluded with the re-election of Sarah as Tribunal Prefect The Regional Discord server achieved 21,977 posts in the month of January!

saphalus Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 June 2019 Update Regional Forums | Discord Server | The Empire of Mare Nostrum Emperor: Rex Ciphra Praetorian Prefect: Khosrow Legatus Prefect: Paulus Gaius Epistre Tribunal Prefect: Sarah Karimi Tribune of Public Affairs: Wymondham Tribune of Regional Affairs: Lord Eros Anphedite Tribune of Communications: Saphalus Tribune of Roleplay: Lucius Senatorial Prefect: Valtyrius Primus Delegate: Chelle23 Change in the Management The face of our old/new management... A lot has changed in the Empire since the last General Update. Some old people left, some veterans returned, and some even had the opportunity to leave and then come back! The Tribunal Prefecture was not spared from the changes and was reorganized under Drinarius, who became the Tribunal Prefect after defeating Eros in the May elections. As you may have already noticed, the Empire's executive now has two new departments: Regional and Public Affairs. The former deals with maintaining on-site activity, the latter with that which happens off-site. The government saw an increase in activity near the end of June, most notably Public Affairs started organizing weekly VC with the members of the Discord. Despite that, Drinarius did not stand for re-election, leaving Sarah an open path to victory. She will thus be returning to her old office and to the political life of the Empire as the new Tribunal Prefect. Her extensive platform focused on, among other things, improving the way EMN handles on-site polls, developing the national RP, and reintroducing our monthly regional newspaper, the Vox Imperii. New Imperial roleplay Map of our proud Empire! Looks vaguely familiar, but I just can't put a finger on it. Our Empire has a new RP, authored by Lucius! In the Imperial RP (what else could it be) our citizens get to play as either loyal* regional governors, ruling in the name of the Emperor of Mare Nostrum... or independent chiefs of savage barbarian tribes ruling in their own name. To repeat the comments of our Tribune of RP, one of those options sounds clearly better than the other. Our citizenry has shown excitement in this new RP and a substantial group of players has already formed. It will be the focus of our new government to capitalize on this and keep up the momentum. *Disclaimer, loyalties vary. Is it the time for the Sixth Senate already? Oh goodness, look at the time! Our Senate is that old already. The June Senate elections provided surprising results - Lord Eros Anphedite, the leader of the Populares party, failed to be re-elected as a Senator. The Populares initially ran on a platform that focused on bringing new legislation to the Senate, most notably their controversial project of the Bill of Rights. Meanwhile, their rivals (Optimates) argued that the Imperial Senate should instead work on fixing any loopholes that may have arisen in the (now quite extensive) legal system. It looks like the Optimates have prevailed in this struggle. Following the short (but occasionally heated) discussion, Valt was elected Senatorial Prefect for the new (6th) Session of the Imperial Senate. The Senate almost immediately amended its Standing Orders, to establish the upkeep of our library of legislation as the responsibility of the freshly chosen Prefect. Guess who's back... Ha, you thought that it was Eminem, but it's actually only EMN! Thank you for reading EMN's June Update. In case you are wondering, we will be returning to distributing these monthly. It is no secret that the departure of Thomas Insaniac (better known as Salvarity) from the game caused setbacks in the Legatus Prefecture (our foreign affairs department). With those setbacks now resolved, we are determined to produce updates with the earlier high frequency! We are as committed as ever to deliver quality content for our friends abroad. Happenings.... Chelle became the Empire's new World Assembly Delegate, by defeating Lucius in an election. Paulus Gaius Epistre was appointed new Legatus Prefect, replacing Lord Eros Anphedite. The Empire is getting closer and closer to its one year anniversary! Saint Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
