Exciting Executive Elections End by Amalteia
In our July elections, Andy and SkyGreen (Sky) have been elected to lead Euro with a strong 40-24 victory over Gem/JayDee II, completely defying the EBC’s late polling that suggested there would be a close race between the tickets. Their “Paving Paths” platform, which focused on the daring Sister Stronghold plan to boost recruitment and WA influence, became the centre of attention of the election’s discourse as their campaign drew support over time, little by little. However, polling showed how the ticket’s recent executive experience and the trust Andy/Sky had gained in the region were the most important factor in their success. Outgoing President Southwestern Germany congratulated the winners, and expressed complete confidence in their leadership for the next 60 days. After the results, President Andy and Vice President Sky appeared on EBC Radio alongside former President Grea Kriopia to announce their new Cabinet, which mixes familiar names with new voices. The appointments included Malaxa (Outreach), Amalteia (WAA), Lloenflys (Attorney General), Gem (Interior), and Grea Kriopia herself (Foreign Affairs), which needless to say set the stage for an exciting term ahead!
Another Three Commends to Europeia by Amalteia
In July 2025, Europeia marked one of its most remarkable streaks in World Assembly Security Council history, with three commendations recognising the extraordinary contributions of Pland Adanna, Malashaan Colony (Mal), and Common-Sense Politics (CSP) passed in just over two weeks. These resolutions were authored by Gem, Amalteia, and Emodea (Moon) respectively, who decided to take up the mantle for some resolutions that had been in the research or drafting phase for a long time. Pland Adanna was commended for their leadership across multiple ministries, steadying the ship in difficult times, and charting a future of cultural excellence by organising events, launching the This Week in Europeia News! dispatches, and more. On the other hand, Mal was commended for her legacy of leadership across the Executive, authorship in the Senate, contributions that shaped our legal (repealing obsolete legislation), cultural (creating the EuroPride festival), and foreign affairs (treaty with the UDS and setting up interregional events) sphere. Finally, CSP was commended for his unmatched feats as President, his transformation of our regional military that made us become leading voices in the independent sphere, and his bold initiatives in times of crisis and conflict. Together, these commendations—each passing with well over 80% support—prove not only the three nominees’ talent, but our region’s ability to both cultivate a citizenry of innovating leaders and a citizenry of engaged SC authors.
Sister Stronghold Progress So Far by Southwestern Germany
After emerging victorious in the presidential election campaigning on the Sister Stronghold proposal, President Andy announced the formation of the Presidential Commission on Preparations for the Sister Stronghold on July 21st via Executive Order 105. As per the Executive Order, the Commission comprises the President, the Vice President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Grand Admiral, the Minister of Outreach, the Minister of Interior, the Attorney General, the World Assembly Delegate, the Technical Architect, the Vice Delegate, the Director of the Europeian Intelligence Agency, the Chief Administrator, and advisors hand-picked by the President himself. This commission can produce reports and documents guiding the region’s preparation for developing a sister stronghold, which will be provided to the President and disclosed to all Europeian citizens for public deliberations.
President Andy had a dropbox open for citizens to suggest names for the new region which the commission would use to help finalize what names the citizenry should vote on. On July 31st, President Andusre announced a poll for the stronghold’s name to be held open for 72 hours which had the options “Estalcia” and “City of Arnhelm”. Estalcia was previously founded in August 2007 with the intention that it would serve as Europeia's colony and the City of Arnhelm which according to lore, is the capital city of Europeia. With 38 citizens coming out to vote, Estancia was victorious with 63.2% of the vote. It remains to be seen what will be the next step of the president and his commission.
... and much more!
