Westphalia Update #1
 
Posted Image

Nation Count Continues Steady Growth
The regional nation count has been steadily climbing upwards, with Westphalia having gained 14 nations in just over a month. The region has slowed down from the drastic climb it started off originally, but the growth has still been positive, with Westphalia close to its highest ever nation count, according to historical nation counts from NSHistory. We here in Westphalia hope this growth continues!

Government Re-Organized
Faced with government inactivity, the Reichstag recently passed the Westphalian Organization Act, which re-organized the government. The act maintains the current bicameral legislature, but makes an upper house, the Imperial Council, with two elected members and three members appointed by the Emperor. This house also acts as the region’s judiciary branch. The lower house, the Imperial Assembly, is an open assembly of all citizens except for members of the Imperial Council. The Emperor remains as Head of State, and the Chancellor remains as Head of Government. The hope is that this act will help get the government out of its slump of inactivity back to where it should be.

More Political Parties Created
Another political party, the Visionary Progressive Party, was recently formed as a challenger to the Centre Party of Westphalia. In contrast to the Centre Party which believes in limited government, the VPP promotes the creation of jobs for the region’s citizenry to get involved. We shall see which party has the upper hand at the next election.

Region Considers Joining the Founderless Regions Alliance
There is an ongoing discussion in Westphalia about whether to join the Founderless Regions Alliance. So far, it appears that most of the region is in favor of joining, with Secretary of the Interior New Garzah saying, “Seems like a good idea” and His Imperial and Royal Majesty Michael Augustine following with, “I agree.” It seems like there is a high possibility that the Westphalian army will soon be defending alongside other regions from the FRA.

Citizens Join At A High Rate
Westphalia is gaining new citizens at an astonishing rate, with 6 new citizens (New Garzah, Dungeyland, Osor, ZombieLove, New Waterford, and beeta13) being accepted inside the last 2 weeks. This forum growth is coinciding with the regional growth in nation count. We would like to welcome these new citizens into our region!

Job Creation Act In The Assembly
A job creation act has been introduced into the Imperial Assembly. This act would create multiple new departments in order to create jobs for citizens. The act has so far been met with a warm response by the members of the Imperial Assembly and voting is underway, with a high majority so far voting for the bill.

High Activity in the Roleplaying Forum
Roleplaying has been very popular lately, with 4 different roleplays being posted in in International Incidents on the Westphalian forum. The most popular by far is Passing Time, started by roxaboxin. In this roleplay, you play a single character in 2012 BC. The topic has over 2,000 views and 350+ replies so far. Other roleplays include Cold Hearts of Winter, His Royal Protection, and Star Cross Lovers.
