NWI Monthly Update: June (2019)
Volume I, Issue IV
Hello again, nations of the New West Indies!
We've had quite the eventful summer. Coupled with unprecedented growth, and new nations entering the fold, our region has prospered more than ever before. It's a wonderful sight to see new members of our community.
If you haven't already, join our region's discord! There, you can find the best our community has to offer – socializing, great memes, General Assembly discussions, vexillological work, and more!
We had our first official region-wide cultural event this month! It was a blast. See "Recent Activity" for more information.

Bureau of Regional Statistics Report |
June saw a jump in nominal population growth, with the region increasing by 12% (up from 5% last month), equalling the projected rate. It is projected to increase again by 12% next month. Real population (non-puppets) increased by a whopping 20% (up from 13% last month). It is projected to increase by 17% next month. Following two more elections, the overall electoral voter participation rate sits at 59% (62% for Secretary-General and 54% for General Assembly President). June had a 33% poll participation rate, down 1% from last month. That is still projected to increase to 43% next month based on our limited data. |

Roleplay (IC) |
Deugaw's government started producing chemical and nuclear weapons, which resulted in a severe backlash from the international community. The government eventually reversed the policy. Space colonization increased, as Portinabia claimed Triton, New mexico azteca began colonizing sections of Mars, Volirum claimed Ganymede, and Cymiopolis expanded its settlements on Callisto. See Space Claims for more information. New sistonia experienced a civil war that resulted in the establishment of a Monarchy. Cymiopolitan celestial extractions is now open for business. |
Government |
An Embassy Policy has been been finalized by the Department of Foreign Affairs; it shall generally dictate our decisions regarding embassies with other regions.
