Hey Gay! Dropping in. How is everything going?
Hijjma, Azov steel 2022, and Tabako
Dresden [6 May 2024]
The Reich government was told today that Albertstadt is in the upper 5% of the entire planet in food safety and quality, public education, envornmental responsibilty, and inclusivity. "This is solely due to our citizenry! Our food industry prides itself on the quality of it's foods and the farmers that grow it. Our citizens drive environmentalism as a daily event--we strive to have the least impact on our natural realm. Education is a right of the citizenry who take advantage of our education system, from the lower, upper, university, and community education; it is truely learning things from cradel to grave! Our citizens all agree--everyone is human, so we have human rights and no one group is treated any differently, just as our neighbors are not treated any different than the ones down the street. All of this is just who we are!" annonced the Reichskanlzer.
A bill before the Reichstag would make 6 May "International Joy and Freedom" day, a unpaid holiday.
Mendevia is a valued member of our community. The post made was misinterpreted by some members and escalated disproportionately.
It was my intent and my successful intervention to deescalate the situation by removing your presence in metaphorical terms: pouring gasoline on fire when dealing with certain members of our region. I have and continue to have no intention to tell you what you can and should do which is why my post did not directly address you, nor did I have the impotence to telegram you. The situation was dealt with domestically within the UCN as it should have been from the start.
I suggest that you drop the matter. But your will is your own.
I appreciate your concern for our member Mendevia and if you are not satisfied with my statement then I encourage you to file against me in the UCN court system where I will happily clear my name.
Your are welcome to contact our Chief Justice 
Christadelphians if that is your wish to open such proceedings.

"The 'Interior' of Michigan, variously defined in many regions but generally all non-coastal areas on the lakes, Saint Lawrence River, and Atlantic Ocean had been stripped of population density and economic sway outside agricultural output in the time since the Capital moved to Michilimackinac. However as the coastal cities grew in economic power, so to did they grow in population density and migration. This produced a rebound effect on the interior that, while starting as early as the 2080s, reached a fever pitch in the 2120s. It was in this decade that it became fashionable for the aristocracy of the 'Golden Book of Membership' to establish extravagant estates within the 'interiors' of the republic. This trend continues today but reached its apex around 2130. Most of these estates are found in the regions just south of Michilimackinac, still colloquially and paradoxically called "up-north". The aristocrats like to call them 'winter cottages' in the old American slang, but these are true palaces, and the society out there has very much become modeled on the old country landed gentry of Old Britain. Often to the mockery of the working class."
It's the small lore things that add character. Also I may have been recently re-watching Dowtnton clips.... >_>
If I take this plan ahead, don't mind my death; if I do it, I then nominate 
Cachard Calia and 
Hinata Tachibana as my successors.
I send you a TG, please respond a.s.a.p.
What happened
No clue, but I hope 
Western Weassey is okay.

Hey Gay, thanks for the embassies!
[Michilimackinac, 08 May 2139] After month long impasse, 'The Last Millennial' is elected Serene Gitchgumee
Following a swift if not confused approval by the Union of All Workers, the government has finally elected a new Serene Gitchgumee to head the executive of the republic. The election has lasted from the Fifth of April until yesterday morning, when news that a compromise candidate between this round of electors had been selected and approved by the Quarantine Court as, surprisingly, of sound mind and body to serve as the Gitchgumee.
Our new Serene Gitchgumee is Zachary Zang, from the small village of Frankenmeuth located in the midmichigan interior. Zang will be unlike any other Gitchgumee we've ever had. Not because he is a retired firewatcher of the state park system, nor because he is not a member of the Golden Book. He is and will be a singular figure in the history of our republic because Zachary Zang is one-hundred and forty-three years old. Born in 1996, Serene Gitchgumee is now the oldest man ever elected to the office, the oldest man in the republic if not on the continent, thanks to modern geriatric health technologies as well as in Zang's own words...."it helps to have stopped giving a f**k what others think a century ago". Zang has been a minor celebrity of note for years now, because he is also 'The Last Millennial'. Born in the 20th century, Zachary Zang was an American citizen and only in his late twenties when he witnessed the dissolution of the United States in 2021. He is among a select and very small group of people from that time still around, and has given many interviews and historians about his long life and the pre-Sundering USA. Zang is known for being sharp tongued and witty with his interviewers, with little filter for his opinions.
All this was shown last night when he was interviewed by the Flint AP associates in a live interview. During which he elucidated on the election, declaring it a 'glorified trophy for the oldest guy around' and that he was 'not more than a seat filler until I die in five minutes! Ha!'. Interviews with the electors afterwards have vaguely confirmed his guesses. It was both an honor and a compromise election. With a very large glass of cognac in one hand and a large pipe of tobacco (an antiquated custom common in his time) he dismissed questions about these by noting that he was on his fifth pair of lungs and twelfth liver. He went on discuss his great life, the history he witnessed, and ended on discussing on what his policies shall be as Gitchgumee. This eventually shifted to religion, which he openly mocked and said he'd make the 'invisible pink unicorn' (a dead parody religion from the old USA) his state religion with a fit of laborious laughter. He spilled his cognac. It was replaced with a full glass of mead.
The interview ended on a serious note where he finally revealed what his major goals, of which he insisted be included in the promissory note as part of his election. It is recorded here verbatim as a matter of record:
"Go ahead. Ask me what you vultures always ask me in these interviews. 'What do you miss the most from your youth? From old America?'"
"It's not necessa-"
"Ask. Please."
"'What do you miss the most from your youth? From old America?'"
"Snow. And not the light dusting we get, at best, nowadays. No. Not that. True snow. Lake effect snow! When I was a boy we'd get so much snow it would be up to your ankles, knees, and in particularly harsh years...you'd have to make sure it didn't freeze your balls off. Yet as I got older, those years became far and between. The green Christmases became more frequent until, finally...poof!...."
He sighs and takes a deep swig from his glass.
"...Gone. Some years we're lucky to get a light snow. Now I'll be honest, when I was young I was delighted it was gone. Snow, when you have to work and commute and shovel your driveway? It's a f**king b**ch. Yet now when I look back, it's something I miss. Our world's ecology has been irreparably destroyed. My grandparents generation denied. My parents' ignored. Mine? We gave up. Sure you all have learned to adapt with new technologies and the country is green. I don't think it's enough. I think nature needs remuneration. We need to do more to bring the balance of the world into order. I vow to do that in what little time I have left. I choose not to give up anymore."
Hinata Tachibana:Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that he's hanging in there.
