People's Republic of Lazarus Foreign Update
November 2013 Edition (Written by Pergamon, and Matheca, with edits by Milograd)




"Onward in the Glorious March to Harmony!"

Current Lazarene Government

Chairman: Comrade Milograd (Endorsements: 160)
Vice-Chairman: Harmoneia
Cultural Governor: Aperi
Diplomacy Governor: Matheca
Judicial Governor: Evil Bob
Information Governor: Kazmr
General of People's Militia: DYP


People's Congress: Pergamon, Earth and Freedom, Stujenske, Libetarian Republics, The Grim Reaper, Feux, Heronlord

Milograd Assumes the Delegacy

Milograd has replaced Harmoneia as Chairman of the People's Republic of Lazarus. His first declaration can be found below:

Spoiler: click to toggle


People's Congress Elections Conclude

The newest wave of reforms in Lazarus included a fresh new election to decide its lawmakers, and people who would go on to aid the Chairman in his efforts to lead Lazarus.

The People's Republic got an brand new congress formed by some old Lazarene veterans and newcomers. With the most voices in the election overall won Heronlord with 12 voices, followed by Feux with 10. The other members to be named are: Libetarian Republics, Stujenske, Pergamon, Earth and Freedom and The Grim Reaper. Such a melange of old and new augurs well for the administration, as a lot of substantial input needed will come from the veterans, and the new voices coupled with their enthusiasm will help implement the ideas.

New Embassies and Friends

Lazarus has established new embassies with Miranda, Wintreath, and the Renegade Islands Alliance! Furthermore, several treaties are being discussed behind closed doors, and more information about them will be published and announced once both parties are ready to go public with their plans and results.

Treaty with TSP Terminated, Non-Aggression Pact Proposed

Chairman Milograd recently cancelled the treaty with The South Pacific after receiving a telegram from Belschaft which stated TSP's lack of interest in maintaining the treaty. Rumours flew thick and fast as to whether this was done out of spite given The Chairman's history with TSP, or was there a greater reason behind it. The telegram spoke for itself, however. Milograd was accused by some of manipulating loopholes in the newly drafted constitution, but lauded by some for his decision-making abilities; later investigation revealed, however, that the powers exercised made sense and matched precedent.

Kringalia proposed the idea of a new non-aggression pact between the two regions and the State Council, along with Milograd, received the idea quite well.

First Appointments Under Milograd

The first act of our new leader was to promote Kazmr and Harmoneia to endorsee positions. This should help secure Lazarus, especially given the recent concerns about a potential invasion by reactionary imperialists. Furthermore, DYP was permitted to surpass the endorsement cap of the region for security reasons as well.

Congressional Agenda Set

Chairman Milograd published the current agenda of the People's Congress. The agenda includes the implementation of the legal code, voting procedures, clarifying powers of the Vice-Chairman and other issues concerned with the very basics of the government and the Congress.

Quote:
 
1. Implementing the legal code,
2. Implementing a voting procedure,
3. Clarifying that the Chairman can void treaties,
4. Clarifying that the speaker is meant to put proposals to vote, close votes, see to it that voting procedures are followed, and determine whether or not proposals are appropriate/not-contradicting the ideas of the constitution,
and establishing a method for replacing inactive congress members, and for dealing with imbalances in the party member/non-party member ratio in the congress.


New Army Policy

Per Harmoneia's announcement, which Milograd has upheld, the Lazarene People's Militia is now a defender group, which is a great leap forward from its previous and misguided policy of neutrality. The People's Militia is being built up by the day and we hope to begin performing regular update operations by the New Year's Day.

Weekly Post Records Smashed, Fun Forum Scripts Added

Within merely a week, the total amount of posts on Lazarus' board has risen from 9,000 to nearly 10,000; averaging roughly 100 posts per day since Milograd became Chairman, activity has been on the rise. Former Chairwoman Harmoneia commented, "I'm surprised at how very very few are spam compared to the total." Credit for the gains has been given to the increased interest in Lazarus, the appointment of active players to various positions in the government, the active debates in the People's Congress, the State Council's debates on new treaties and the diplomatic situation with The South Pacific, and increased cultural excitement. The region is expected to reach the milestone of 10,000 forum posts by the end of the month.

Furthermore, Milograd recently discovered how to add scripts to a board. Lazarenes may now add their country of origin to their profiles, which have also been made to look more fancy. Drop Your Pants has been modifying some of them along the way, but thus far Lazarus has been receptive to the additions.

The Bulletin: Jobs to be Filled

Have you ever thought about getting involved in Lazarus? Many have, but some people don't know where to start. The PRL is opening positions to newcomers with nations in the region that hold small amounts of responsibility, and those who thrive in them and get comfortable in Lazarus will be given more responsibility as they continue to prove themselves.

Chairman Milograd declared his intention to fill the Lazarene government with the most productive and deserving officials possible, while also providing newcomers a chance to dip their toes into regional waters.

Quote:
 
Our people deserve the best and as such our government must consist of the best and most deserving. I intend to appoint the best of our players to positions they can thrive in, build upon the potential that's been overlooked at home, and ensure that all trends of productivity in the region are consistently positive. I can't promise that we'll have the most active military in the GCR's immediately, but I'll see to it that we consistently improve and, eventually, reach a point that we can be proud of.

Everyone has a way that they can contribute in and, if they're willing to help, they'll be given the opportunity to -- everyone will have an equal chance to prove themselves and those who put in hard work or show great promise will be rewarded and applauded appropriately.

The People's Republic currently wishes to see the following duties executed, and if you'd like to consider trying your hand at it, or if you know someone who might, you're encouraged to contact Governor Matheca or Chairman Milograd:

  • Cultural Coordinator: The Governor of the Cultural District has expressed that his talents might be better put elsewhere, and therefore Milograd plans to put him in a new position. Lazarus needs someone to promote RMB activity, IRC activity, and OOC discussion on the forums in creative, unique, and fun ways.
  • Military Trainers: The People's Militia is gaining members and is being developed by both the General, the Chairman, and other members of Lazarus, but while its still in its infancy it would be highly desirable if experienced nations helped train recruits. The most qualified Lazarenes for these duties are currently occupied with other essential tasks in the region, and thus don't have enough time or resources to dedicate to this important job. This task is temporary: we essentially want to have our recruits trained and them have them lead the military themselves. If no one steps up, we'll handle it ourselves when we have the chance, but nonetheless assistance would expedite the process of building the People's Militia.
  • Writers: Governor Kazmr is interested in building up an organized staff for the Lazarene Gazette. Active writers of all sorts are welcomed.

Thank you for reading! Lazarus, per Milograd's inaugural announcement, will be now be distributing foreign updates on a monthly basis. This is our first edition!

In this world there are two kinds of people: those with loaded guns and those who dig. I dig.

Remember that the so-called "Great Leap Forward" killed possibly as many as 45 million people. I don't think a Holocaust joke would go over well (except possibly in [region]the Greater German Reich[/region]), and there were 6 million deaths in that event.
