OOC: A little bit of variation does you good, as they say. A joy to behold. 100% Zombiefication. :)

I'm just sorry my isp flaked out for the first few hours and I missed a huge chunk of the fun. And of course if we want to go back to survivorisation, there is always next year.

At the daily Breakfast meeting of the Royal Family, the Queen's Guard and close friends and the Principle-Senator, the Queen of Lemmingtopias goes through the newspapers and her correspondence before her meeting with the Royal Secretaries. Today Her Maj was quite bemused to read on the front of all the national papers about how a mysterious virus had hit Lemmingtopias and other nations yesterday causing the entire nation to down tools, walk aimlessly around the streets in large groups and engage in quite unseemly table manners, only to be completely cured upon waking up the next morning with no further symptoms other than a deep regret of their previous day's rather embarrassing behaviour.

"First I've heard of it," she quipped to her equally puzzled companions before turning to the sport pages. "Ah, good. Leonia United is playing tonight! Cancel my appearance at the Charity Ball and fetch me a six-pack!"

Memes are honestly the greatest creation that humanity has ever conceived. Humans have been top memers since their ability to communicate. Animals are incapable of memes because they are incapable of enhanced communication - the gorilla, lucy, however, is a top memer, because we have taught lucy to be a top memer through sign language. However, lucy and other gorrilas are incapable of spreading memes or manipulating memes, making them largely incapable of memeing.

It shows the advancement of human capability of culture to have jokes that are both in the loop and out of the loop. It would puzzle, no, astound an alien civilization to see just what we're doing here. Anthropologists would come from all corners of the galaxy just to understand our humor. With memes, we could communicate with the stars. "Hey guys, HARAMBE DAB *extremely loud bass*" will be our first true message to the stars.

Who knows, perhaps our memes will become infectious. Perhaps our memes will spread to all corners of the universe. It's impossible to know.

Congratulations to United nation of romnia on being elected Delegate.

I'd like to thank Polyspastonia for his service in the Delegacy.

The Atlantiad is approaching mid November. As per the Treaty of Atlantis, "The Basileus will be selected in advance of each Atlantiad by vote, with the candidate with the most votes winning. Votes for nations that do not win may be carried over to the next Atlantiad."

If you would like to stand as Candidate. Please state your intention to stand on this Message Board. You have four days to do so. The Concordant Communities of Tarligean received one confirmed vote at the last election which will be carried over to this election should that nation wish to stand.

I announce my candidacy for the position of Basileus/King of Atlantis.

If elected to this position, I will immediately begin planning the Atlantis Games, as is required of the King. I will also convene the Atlantiad Conference where I will propose an amendment to the Atlantis Treaty where the positions of King and Delegate are merged - with the Host of the future Atlantis Games no longer automatically the King. Should this Amendment succeed, I will immediately hand the Trident over to our Delegate.

I believe these actions will provide a regional government more appropriate to our size and will give the Delegate the authority to lead the region.

I will also use my brief power as King to dismantle the remnants of the old Ten Kings system. I believe that all Heads of State of Atlantian Nations are the rightful successors to the archaic and legendary Ten Kings of Atlantis. This system ill be replaced by an Order of Honour which would honour outstanding service to the region, excellence in different spheres of the Game and for promotion of the Region.

So, please vote Lemmingtopias in the Royal Election.

To commemorate the change in WA Delegate and in honour of Polyspastonia, a new 50 Drachma bill is being printed by the Atlantis Central Bank. It will have key landmarks from Polyspastonia upon it.

Here are some stats about the history of the WA Delegation.

  • The first Delegate was Sovereign States, who served from 2003 to 2004. The exact length of the Delegacy is unknown but it was at least 272 days. Though it is more likely that it was just over a year in length. Sovereign States would become Delegate again for a brief period in 2008.

  • Tom Joad was the first Delegate to serve for a longer period than the first Delegate. He served around 379 days from March 2005. He was elected Delegate four times for a total of 560 days. Tom Joad would not lose these records for many years and still holds the joint record for amount of times elected Delegate with Publikia.

  • The Teachings of Lemmingtopias would beat the record for longest Delegacy in January, 2013, after serving a term of 400 days. Tom Joad remained the nation to have held the Delegacy for the longest, however.

  • The Assembly and Demos of Madrocea finally beat both records in his reign from 2014 - 2016, serving a term of 628 days. Tom Joad had held the title of most time in the Delegacy for almost a decade until the record was beaten.

  • Over 50 nations have been WA Delegate for Atlantis with an Average of 98 days service each (records older than 7 years are incomplete and those lasting less than a day are not the list).

    Notable Former Delegates with short reigns

  • Marie byrd community - Served as Delegate for 12 days. Notable for creating the 1st Generation of the Regional Map.

  • Mestra - Served as Delegate for 7 days. Notable for outstanding service to the Region over a significant period of time.

    Let's also honour the Regional Founders:

  • Sovereign states. At first, Atlantis had no founder. It was 'refounded' for the first time by Sovereign States.

  • Vilita. Vilita was the second nation to refound Atlantis.

  • Orangutang fiction. The third and (hopefully) final founder.

  • Lemurian islands and Madrocea

    Very Cool look back at the history of the region! How'd you pull all of that together?

    For the last 7 odd years, I used the History feature. Prior to that I used NS dossier as a guide then checked up on more accurate dates by searching old forums. The older a record is, the less forum/webcache evidence I could find and so the very oldest could be skewered by incomplete records. The only nations I think have the possibility of being inaccurate enough to make their rankings wrong are Tom Joad (whose longest reign could be overestimated) and Sovereign States (very likely under estimated).

    I'm glad I'm not American today :P

    Guys I need more endorsements so we have more power in the World Assembly!!

    Post self-deleted by Lemmingtopias.

    The new Lemmingtopian Assembly was selected by the Assembly Selection Computer recently, picking Members at random from Citizens based upon their answers to census questions in order to establish an Assembly with a similar demographics to the national population. This week, in their first major Assembly Meeting after weeks of courses on their role, the new Assembly Members voted on whether or not they have approval for a fifth of the Senators. The official opposition in the Senate had been campaigning to persuade the Assembly that the left-wing government failed to attract aspiring citizens by failing to stop wage declines of the wealthy and strongly condemned the government's stance against the free market. Another top issue was cuts over the past five years to military funding.

    The government argued that the poor and middle-income voters had received the biggest pay rise in decades, that employment had nearly doubled and provided a long list of achievements that had made people happier in their general lives. The government was supported by leading figures in the IT Industry but was largely condemned by the Publishing Industry. The Assembly approved the continued service of all but five government-backing senators, while expelling all conservative senators up for approval. The replacements were selected by juries and the government now has an increased majority from 400 to 450 of the 720 senators.

    Despite handing the government a boost, the Assembly did point out in a statement that, despite being encouraged by tax cuts, it was concerned about the cuts to some public services - asking the government to balance tax and spending cuts carefully as taxes continue to fall. Last year a jury informed the government it expected tax rates to be reduced to no more than double the world average. A jury will be convened in two years to assess the results.

    The senate has elected George Dattas as its Principle-Senator as the former holder retired. Dattas has held the position before on several occasions and his election is likely to be seen as confrontation by the Queen, who had Dattas summarily arrested during her rise to power in order to show a force of strength.

    Hello,

    Thank you for our embassy connexion.

    I am a high chancellor of Holy Byzantine Eurasian Confederacy,
    would like to say our great and warm greetings to all of nations in this region.

    Looking forward to working with you in the foreign affairs domain.

    Have yourselves a great day.
    I hope our diplomatic relations remain strong and valid all the time. Thank you very much.

    Your sincerely,
    The Holy Federal Monarchy of DACOROMANIA

    I'm Mister Bulldops. You gotta get schwifty in here.

    I like what you got. Good job!

    Welcome back!

    With the candidacy period over and no nations forthcoming to oppose the candidate, The Teachings of Lemmingtopias is declared the winner of the Royal Election.

    Congratulations!

    My Fellow Atlantians,

    Thank-you all of you for your... for your...well....for not standing against me... i guess :P

    As promised in my campaign, today is the day we Make Atlantis Great Again! *looks down at speech*

    oh. sorry. wrong election. Ahem!

    I intend to carry out all the duties and responsibilities of the role of King of Atlantis. This includes the organising of an Atlantian Sports tournament and giving all of you the opportunity to join us in conference to decide upon the future of Atlantis. During this period, I will also replace the old remnants of past political systems that no longer form part of our regional charter with an awards system. I believe I can undertake this by Executive action - though I will (and have been) seeking the counsel of the Delegate to ensure this is done in a way that is legal and has the support of the WA Delegation. I will also be pleased to hear from any of you if you have any guidance or views upon these matters.

    Once these are set in motion, I will propose an amendment to our Regional Charter that will hand my position over to our Delegate and ensure that this proposal gives the Delegate all the tools he or she needs to carry out the job. Naturally, this is dependant upon any other proposals put forward by other Atlantian Members in the conference and I will not seek for this amendment to overturn anything decided there. If and when this amendment is approved by yourselves, I envisage handing the Trident over to the Delegate almost immediately after concluding all my responsibilities within a maximum period of thirty days (I will not hand the Delegate a position with a backlog of tasks to complete, nor will I simply relieve myself from duty without ensuring a smooth transition of Office).

    Thank-you! If you have any thing to say to me, any opinions on my plans or you are willing to offer me guidance, please get in touch :)
