Once you receive Citizenship we have Senate elections which you can vote in, (or run in depending on whether by-elections turn out) as a citizen you are automatically a part of the lower house of the legislature the General Assembly, and you can vote on the Chairperson elections to lead that chamber after the senate elections. The various executive ministries are also often looking for various workers, which I can guide you towards getting involved in. I'm glad to have you in the Union !

AI warehouse program exceeds expectations.
After about a month or so with the AI run mail and warehouse program has been given the go ahead to switch over to the city. The AI made the shipping and handling process 40% more efficient without people. With people also working it is estimated that that percentage could raise to as much as 55%!
Military heavy drone program strikes a deal
Fremore’s heavy drone program for the military has just been increased with funding. New types of drones are now being made. A new supersonic drone has just been announced and is currently in wind tunnel testing. Other types of drones include an experimental solar powered drone and another one powered via nuclear. Both could stay in the sky indefinitely. But radiation is always a risk so one of them might be scrapped.

Whoever thought combining the DNA of a city sized space dragon with shark DNA needs to get fired.

The most powerful and advanced particle accelerator of the UDS will be built in Spoela 🎉, the news comes after the meeting between the president with his team and the Spoelan Physicist Group. Higgs Boughson, professor of Engineering at Arenfjord University explains : This project will costs billions of Kronos but having the most advanced Particle Accelerator in the world can help discovering a lot of new things. We could maybe even virtualise a world like you would virtualise an operating system on computers.
