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.

In 2018, under the Rorschach Administration the right to create a business and bring creativity in the region was established. Fast forward two years later, the Enadian International Business center in “The Plaza” is booming with new and well established firms and businesses, created by Enadians for Enadians.
The biggest and most prominent business in Enadia is the Latrovian “Graphics Haven”, a company that primarily focuses on delivering designs of all kinds. Starting with top quality flags, to headers, banners and just about anything that can get in the company’s hands. Emoticons and logos as well as logos for new businesses have also been delivered by this firm.

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."

The Third Aexodian Empire [France + UK]: "If I was a bad Demoman Cruise Missile User, I wouldn't be talking about it, would I?!"

The Kingdom of Cintria [Italy]: "Let's go practice medicine."

The Sikh Republic [India]: "Did anyone happen to kill a traitorous Sikh Empire on their way here? No? Then we still have a problem."

New South Wales [UK]: "Professionals have standards."

Lincoln [Australia]: "I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you know who you're talking to? Do you have any idea? Any idea who I am? Basically, kind of a big deal. You listening? Basically, grass grows, birds fly, and brother, I hurt people."

Cydonia [Japan]: "Hey look buddy. I'm a nation state. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is democracy?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems."

Jaeji [South Korea]: "If fighting will result in victory, then you must FIGHT."

Craig [Israel]: Stares menacingly with Mossad.

Overview

We would like to congratulate the new Weekly Newsletter, the sixth issue! We here at Fylkirvegr have recently been having an introduction to political parties! Anishopolis and Eleiterion have recently been making their own political parties that are still “under construction” and Anishopolis’s Centre Party currently needs 8 more members of bureaucratic citizens! Whilst Eleiterion’s White Eagle Party still needs nine more bureaucratic citizens. Bureaucratic citizens are citizens that have applied for citizenship and have joined a state within the Regional Forums.

The political parties may have their own ideologies except for fascism in which here at Fylkirvegr we do not tolerate whatsoever in anyway. These ideologies make most political parties unique! We do not want to restrict their ideas in anyway and it will allow members within each party to have their beliefs! The following may have these ideologies:

• The political party may be communist and socialist

• The party may be capitalist

The regional government has recently had a new addition, Brotnaland! Brotnaland has been appointed as Governor of Aflheim and has done a spectacular job and has been trying out some new things to do at the state and has signs of advertising his state to perhaps become the most active and important state.

Commended Nation of The Month
Whithamia

We would like to praise and congratulate, Whithamia, as our commended nation of the month! I would like to commend him for his efforts in serving the Norse revolution by putting his time and patience in becoming the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, I even asked him if he wanted to become a Governor, the nation said yes! I then asked him if he wanted to become an Immigration Commissioner, he said yes! These are those types of rare nations who have a lot to offer on the table and puts its hear on its sleeve in everything it does.

Especially doing all he can by issuing an ambassador for Enadia and its leader, God-king rorschach and for having a very professional service and leadership. I would also like to say thanks to God-king rorschach for his support and input is also very much appreciated. Please telegram Whithamia, and congratulate the nation, and also to endorse him if applicable to further salute his service!

Real Life Matters
Serenity

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

A person becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

The calm person, having learned how to govern themselves, know how to adapt themselves to others. And they, in turn, reverence spiritual strength and feel that they can learn of them and rely upon them. The more tranquil a person becomes, the greater is their success, their influence, their power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as they develop greater self-control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a person whose demeanor is strongly equable.

“Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life?

The strong, calm person is always loved and revered. They are like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land or a sheltering rock in a storm. It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yet, than even fine gold.
How insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm![/color][/size]

How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and break their happiness by lack of self-control.

How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!

Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

“Happiness exists in the serenity of the soul, the calmness of mind” Epikouros

Tempest-tossed souls, wherever they may be, under whatsoever conditions they may live, know this in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought.

Now you will be asking yourself “How can I do this, when I have so many things to every day, so many people to please and my financial situation is a mess?” I have to say, that all of us have difficult lives. If I have to say something to help you, I would say: Eliminate as soon in your life as possible things and people that demand a lot of energy and attempts to be maintained.

Minimalize your life. You don’t need all the things that you are dreaming of, and if you need the things you are dreaming of, stop buying things that are not in the dream list. Dream big, but work towards the dream. Not just dream.

Be a practical dreamer, not a person who is just avoiding their lives by using pleasant thoughts.

If a person distracts you from calmness, work hard so as to escape (That does not apply for parents). A life that is lived in calmness doesn’t have to come today or tomorrow. In fact, exactly the opposite happens. It needs work and sacrifices. It doesn’t come easy. That’s why it worths it, as it is your personal work and a result of self-discipline and desire.

Self-control is strength.

Right Thought is mastery.

Calmness is power.

Say unto your heart, “Peace, be still!

Calmness, knowledge, and fairness for all, is the real Revolution we need to spread all around, the way the seeds bloom all around in the Spring.

Relations Portal

Everyone, we would like to aware you that we have not been negotiating in terms of any future embassies and/or consulates as we do not want a lot of embassies as it will most likely mean less interaction.

We have been noticing other regions asking for embassies in-game, but the problem with that is that there population is quite low, they are probably puppet storage regions and other faults, thus we try to tell them this beforehand.

Closing Comments

Well, that is all from us, stay in the newspapers for the next weekly update, Issue II of the Fylkirvegr Gazette, by the Department of Communications! Please telegram King, Freedomanica, or Acting Prime Minister, Lycadia, for any more questions!

The Enadian Morning Post expresses its true sorrow and dismay over the ransacking and destruction of the region of 10000 Island's discord server that took place recently. As a private business with a discord-based headquarters, we believe that discord-based communities on NationStates hold immense value to their members and like any community, should be treated with the utmost dignity and respect. We wholeheartedly wish the nation of Kuriko and the leaders of 10000 Islands the best in their current and future endeavors to rebuild what has been taken from them. Please read this dispatch and upvote it to gain some understanding of this tragic event and to show support to their region as they rebuild.

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.
