New Motto and New Officers for TRR
Elections begin and the Month of the Motto competition concludes...
COMMENTARY | TRR STAFF

"You're All Fired!"

"Illegitimi non carborundum" has been voted, 43-37, in the finals of the Month of the Motto competition as The Rejected Realms’s regional motto. “Illegitimi non Carborundum” is a mock-Latin aphorism which translates roughly as “Don’t let the bastards grind you down” – it originated from World War II and has been engraved in the offices of many of America's most powerful, including JFK and Hoffa. For many the motto represents the tough, indomitable exterior of the region’s rebel psychology and spirit, while for others it was a clever way to fit a curse word into our motto.

Not all Rejectees were as positive about the new motto.

“Yeah f--- that,” says Christmas Barry III, “we don’t need no f—ing latin, we need som’in ‘tuff’ yeh know? How’ll about “Don't piss down my back and try and tell me it's raining”, eh, eh? Or “Approach at yer own peril” or “Rip Ya New One”? Yeeeeaah.”

The disgruntled rejectee, however, did agree that anything was less wussier than “Paradise Found”.

“F--- that crap!”

On perhaps a more important note, Officer Elections have begun in The Rejected Realms. At the beginning of August, as per the constitution, all officers are removed from service automatically and a period of elections is slated to begin with open nominations and competitive challenges.

The recent opinion polling conducted by the Office of Human Resources helps shed some light on which candidates stand a good chance at being re-elected if they were to run.

Christian Democrats (WA Affairs): Approve [69.2%], Disapprove [15.4%], Not sure [15.4%]
Guy (Foreign Affairs): Approve [63.6%], Disapprove [18.2%], Not sure [18.2%]
Feux (Human Resources): Approve [22.2%], Disapprove [33.3%], Not sure [44.4%]
Libetarian Republics (Internal Affairs): Approve [8.3%], Disapprove [50%], Not sure [41.7%]

With a notoriously hard-to-please public, Christian Democrat’s performance leading The Rejected Realms’s World Assembly affairs, managing votes and organizing the WA Committee, has left him the most popular candidate for re-election with nearly a 70% approval rating (tying with the Delegate for support). Similarly, Guy, a long-term fixture in the region, was rewarded handily for his negotiations of the Osiran Non-Aggression Pact and TSP-TRR Peace and Amity treaty as The Rejected Realm’s top diplomat.

Feux, a more low-key officer garnered the most uncertainty among voters and will likely have to prove himself this election to voters if he wishes to serve in office again, while Libetarian Republic’s inactivity was a sore point with many voters.

“It would be a pleasure to see any number of you return to the cabinet,” Unibot said of his former cabinet, “and, at the same time, I encourage all citizens to throw their hat into the ring if they feel they've got what it takes to contribute to our executive”.

Nominations are open for three days, while voting will follow for four days.
