August Updates

Greetings fellow citizens and friends of Narnia!

As many of you know, we experienced a setback in our region not too long ago. A former member of our region deleted much of our forum and wrecked havoc in the area. I’m happy to report that we are not a fully re-forged and re-energized region! Thank you to all who sympathized, partied (and it was a good party, wasn’t it?), and generally illustrated the friendly side of NationStates.

There have been some major changes, so let’s bring you up to steam:
In the High Council--
Fotar, who long served as our leader, has stepped aside to perform the duties of IA Marshall.
Spartzerina is now King, having proven himself faithful and invaluable in various HC roles, the last of which was IA Marshall.
Cocodian will continue as Lord Protector.
Arisora, a newer and energetic member of the High Council, is serving as Internal Affairs officer and general moderator of RP.
Delfar Appalachia, instead of serving as Speaker of the High Council, now holds the position of WA Delegate.
Kekova, another long-term member, is serving as our Foreign Affairs leader.

As for the forums:
(What? You haven’t been there? Then you really should come visit!)
A new forum has given us several opportunities to restructure ourselves and put some new ideas in motion. If you visit now, you’ll most likely notice a few changes.
The North Gate – where you should come and register yourself as member, ambassador, or friend of the Council of Narnia
The City of Cair Paravel – the location of our Party Tent; the City Square for general discussion; general discussion in the Wood Between the Worlds; and the Jesters’ Room where you can play games and gain spam points
The World of Narnia (dedicated to the late Mount Helena) – our roleplay center where you should come can build a character to go on adventures both internally and abroad.
Paravel Council – NEW! We now have a University of Paravel currently accepting applications for future leaders of Narnia. Also, this is where the Delegate’s Office is located. I generally try to post each resolution/act up for vote in the World Assembly for your feedback. And, last but not least, the Marshall’s Desk where members of the Imperial Army may ask questions and future members may submit their applications.
And, if you have not noticed, there is a “Shoutbox” at the bottom of the forum where members post real time messages and greetings to one another.

Lastly, a few other things to mention:
Culture--As a region we would still like to work on the cultural side of Narnia. If you are reading this, you probably know that Narnia was created by the late CSLewis as a fantasy land, and we are attempting to add some cultural ideas from this series into the forums. If you have any advice or ideas, please let one of the leaders of the High Council know.
Recruitment—This is a shameless plug asking all members to please take part in the new recruitment exercises in NationStates. We have a chance to compete and win a recruitment drive among several regions. If you would like to help, please let one of the High Council members know and we’ll set you up with a telegram and more information.

Thank you for reading this long report! Long live Aslan and long live the Council of Narnia!
