On June 1, 2020, Enadia held its election for Monarch. The incumbent, United Republic Empire, and Craiggy land were the two candidates. After citizens cast their votes and the electoral commission counted them, Craiggy won with a landslide 71.4% of the vote. Since this time, Craiggy has remained as Enadia’s ruling monarch and has been present in various round-table meetings, social functions, and other regional events. Today, it honors us to interview Enadia’s elected monarch to discuss the state of affairs of the region, his goals and royal insight into the success of the region.

The United Australian States: Good morning your Majesty. It is absolutely our pleasure to interview you and we appreciate the time you are taking to discuss your role, ideas, and goals for the region.

To start off, as the monarch of Enadia, what is your current function in the region and how have you been able to fulfill this goal?

HM King Craiggy Land: My function is to represent Enadia during events and foreign events. As King, I also have my own initiatives such as providing entertainment for the citizens of Enadia. I also have other projects in the works that are yet to be announced!

I believe that I have fulfilled my role as King. These include opening parliament, uplifting the citizens of Enadia and providing Enadia with a huge amount of tourism.

HM King Craiggy Land: I believe I have a very strong relationship with my subjects. I maintain constant communication with the citizens of Enadia and I'm able to engage with them in text chat, parliamentary sessions and round table events.

The United Australian States: What would you consider to be your favorite event you have attended or presided over in Enadia to-date? What made it special?

HM King Craiggy Land: My favourite event was the opening of the Enadian Parliament. I gave a speech to citizens and the Honourable Members of Parliament. However, the Round Table events have always been good events with massive turnout as well! They have allowed me to engage with many citizens of Enadia and listen to their views.

The United Australian States: Many critics unfairly cite your NationStates nation ceasing-to-exist twice as proof that you are unable to perform your role as monarch. What is your response to these claims considering the fact that you are active on discord and our other community platforms?

HM King Craiggy Land: Let’s see at the next Monarch Election.

The United Australian States: Moving forward, what aspirations or goals do you have for the region? Do you believe that these are in agreement with the elected government and citizenry of our region?

HM King Craiggy Land: Enadia is a glorious region and will continue to be so in the future. I hope I can continue my place in helping make Enadia the best region in NationStates. I look forward to seeing the region grow and evolve into the future.

The United Australian States: As the monarch, you wield immense privilege in the region and have the ability to sway public opinion. You have many supporters in the region. However, we live in a time where our government and elected officials struggle to properly uphold the democratic processes they are charged with preserving. Do you believe that your role as monarch is more crucial than ever during these troubling times?

HM King Craiggy Land: My role as king is an unpolitical one. I will not comment on political matters, but I will advocate for every Citizen in Enadia to use their right to vote!

The United Australian States: Do you have any closing comments?

HM King Craiggy Land: I just want to thank the citizens of Enadia for giving me the privilege to serve as their Monarch. I'm looking forward to seeing the region grow and prosper into the future and I hope that I can count on their support in the Monarch Elections in January.

Other than that, I will continue my work, engaging with Citizens, promoting Enadia and serving my statutory duties as set out in the Constitution.

Thank you and God Bless me and Enadia.

The United Australian States:Thank you once again for sharing your royal insight, thoughts and ideas about Enadia. You have an integral role in the government, culture and fabric of our great region. Staff at The Enadian Morning Post are pleased to interview you and we wish you the best in your continued just and fair reign.

August 23 Enadian Plenary (Parliament) Session

On August 23, the Enadian Parliament met for another weekly recorded plenary session on the public chat of the Enadian discord server. Speaker Rorschach had his hands full with two motions, a ratification of a new Act, and an amendment to previous legislation. The first motion of the House of Commons congratulated region members who received exam results that would set them up for future University and College opportunities. While this motion recognized real-life accomplishments and events in a light and cheerful tone, Motion Two emphasized the political and democratic unrest in the region. The Enadian Parliament passed Motion Two, which was a statement regarding the voided House By-Election on August 16 under the Recall Petition & By-Elections Act 2020. After a complicated and tumultuous campaign cycle for the one remaining seat in Parliament, the Electoral Commissioner of Enadia voided the results because of inappropriate campaign practices cited to have been the fault of the independent candidate Denver.
The voiding of election results was an event that caused a public outcry in the region’s public discord channel, and the Enadian government responded with the ratification of the Electoral Commission Transparency Act, which streamlines the campaign rules, process, and structure. The one-party Reformist parliament voted unanimously to enact this legislation, and this event came in the wake of private citizens discussing the creation of a new political party to rival the reformist-led government.
Finally, the parliament enacted an amendment to the Definition of Crime & the Process of Amendment Act. According to Honorable Speaker Rorschach, “This Parliament… does hereby define this set of scenarios as illegal and in breach of this bill. This Parliament also does set forth a process of amendment to add such crimes that may have been unforeseen by this bill.” The new amendment to this Act will hopefully create a more concrete and definable role for the Enadian judicial system, and combined with the ratified bill, will pave the way for a more efficient and transparent government.

Meet the Participants:

The United States of Ontario [USA]: "I am a stealth fighter guy. And this is my F-22. She weighs 43,430 lbs and costs more than 500 million dollars. It costs 33,000 dollars to operate this aircraft for one hour. Some nations think they can outsmart me. Maybe, maybe. I've yet to meet one that can outsmart F R E E D O M."

Trouble Spinning Up
Topic: Community Correspondence

For those wondering why I’m talking about random people, the National Hurricane Center (a sister organization of the National Weather Service), has been naming storms since the 1950s, with male names only coming into practice in the 1970s. The World Meteorological Organization retires names of major hurricanes like Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005, which both hit Louisiana and Mississippi and were such horrible catastrophes that they deserve individual recognition and remembrance.

As you can see above, this is not Louisiana’s first time riding out hurricanes. According to a study about New Orleans’ hurricane history, 49 of the 270+ hurricanes that made landfall in the U.S. Atlantic between 1851 and 2004 hit Louisiana. 18 were major hurricanes. Those familiar with Louisiana hurricane records will notice Laura is taking a similar path as Rita, which marched into Southwest Louisiana just weeks after Katrina and subsequent levee failures infamously turned the New Orleans area into an impromptu Venice.

I remember Rita, though vaguely. Growing up in Northwest Louisiana, we were far enough inland to not feel much impact except for flash flooding and some moderately gusty winds. However, Rita was different; it was strong enough at landfall to continue knocking out power into Arkansas (just as Katrina did in central Mississippi weeks earlier). Gustav and Ike would do the same thing during the 2008 hurricane season. As you can probably guess, being away at college “down south” (as we say back home to refer to the Southern half of the state) during Laura gives me a different perspective this time.

Times like these make me think about the people that keep coming back after hurricanes to rebuild New Orleans bigger and better each time. People might ask Louisianians why they would want to live in a place like this, knowing all the risks. Well, in response I’d like to ask those same people why they continue living in Oklahoma despite tornadoes or California despite their frequent wildfires. The simple answer will probably be similar among the three of us: This is home, and there’s no other place like it.

That being said, wish us luck and safety down here, and to any fellow Louisianians reading this, stay safe.

Issue Two - Battle of the Parthian Gulf
Topic: Role Play Column
By: South Bengal

The Allies fielded a sizable formation of naval assets against the Iranian formations. The Iranians were the first to engage the Allied forces, sending in nearly a dozen Shenyang J-11 fighters from their Kiev class Carrier equipped with air-to-surface missiles. The planes were to engage the ships at the outer rim of the formation of the fleet.

Following the launch of the planes, Cintrian Type 45s were quick to fire their Sea Viper missiles to take down the oncoming planes. It wasn’t all in vain, though. The Persians took down the HMS Cutlass, a Type 22 ship of the Royal Navy. Craiggaians met this attack by cutting off all naval links of Iran with the outside world. This maneuver restricted all ships, civilian or military from entering or escaping the area. The rest of the allied forces rained down a hail of missiles on the Iranian forces, and the allied forces were quick to send in aircraft to engage the Iranian fleet. The Persian fleet was maneuvering towards the Iranian coast to engage the allied fleet with coastal batteries and S-300 systems placed along the Iranian shore.

With the naval battle intensifying, the Aexodian forces launched a barrage of 6,000 missiles upon the Iranian civilian, military, and industrial infrastructure. Suspension of all bombardments on the nation by General Mattis immediately followed this attack, and they gave amphibious landings on the mainland an affirmative.

It is with great pleasure that The Enadian Morning Post publishes its third issue. As the Editor-in-Chief of this growing news outlet, I am extremely proud of the work being done by our staff, inter-regional partners and followers. Without readers, our staff would not have an audience. Without staff, this paper would not exist. I am so thankful for everyone who has been involved with the production, enjoyment, and distribution of this paper. Special thanks to God-king rorschach, La Republique Louisianaise and South Bengal for their ongoing support despite busy weeks, long days, and sleepless nights. I also want to thank members of the Enadian role play server for their encouragement, feedback, and collaboration. Creating this paper was not something that I imagined would continue, yet after our third issue we are still running, growing, and continuing to be strong. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed this week's edition of The Enadian Morning Post.
Signed,
The United Australian States
