[center][b]March Elections[/b][/center]
[nation]Wischland[/nation] was elected in a landslide delegate election, and transitioned to the role soon after announcement of victory. Meanwhile, [nation]Zaberaz Hapang[/nation] secured their bid for Himes West after an uncontested campaign. Finally, Lyonnesse East saw the most activity, with both [nation]Porflox[/nation] and [nation]Kohnhead[/nation] running serious campaigns for the seat. After a close and exciting week of voting, Kohnhead emerged victorious. Porflox was however soon appointed to serve as Blue Canaria North after an opening for the seat appeared following [nation]Wischland[/nation]'s successful bid for delegate.

~The Council of Nine repealed The House Continuity and Closure Act due to its redundancy after The House Closure Requirement Reform Act was passed.

~10000 Islands's RP region [region]A Taco Archipelago[/region] in its just under one year of existence has beaten out [region]10000 Islands[/region]'s post count in the past 10 years (since the creation of RMB archives)!

~The Mad Surfer published its last issue this month ([url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1518291]here[/url]) because of increased Real Life obligations and the increase in regional news bulletins which you can read more about in the article. Thank you [nation]Jabberwocky[/nation] for the continued editorship and the entire staff for creating an amazing newspaper for three whole years!

A [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=170712]regional poll[/url] by [nation]Jabberwocky[/nation] asked Islanders what device they'd want to have. Lightsabers from star wars overwhelmingly won, mostly due to islanders having no clue about what the other ones were.

The RMB this month was filled with many insightful conversations, and some more comical ones.
