[PotUS] What's Going On

So, full disclosure...

So far, my personal media has been unacceptable. I started a new job last week and it's been a bit hectic trying to get payroll and insurance things set. No excuses, I've dropped the ball this term.

To remedy this, I will be striving for a more accelerated publishing schedule for myself for the rest of the term.

On to business:

The term began with Dinnyin assuming the Chief of Staff mantle and updating accesses and requesting all Secretaries to check in. Khotko happily obliged. Dinnyin and I planned on using a Slack channel, at first, to keep Secretaries more accessible and involved. This plan quickly evolved into a Discord channel instead. Naz volunteered to lead the Cat Facts text service...no takers, though. Evry informed us all that the Treasury made it through the transition.

Senry revived and made some updates to Arm America, which can be used either through the IRC channel, #defense, or the Discord channel, discord.gg/XXN89ww . He's also made a request in Congress to re-fund AA. Read about it (http://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php/topic,41049.0.html) and talk to your congressperson today! Here's an article discussing the changes to AA and some other Defense updates: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-dod-general-defense-update-2616640/1/20

Artela set a publishing schedule for all departments. Naz threw down the gauntlet and challenged the Departments to fill the publishing schedule or he would pick a Department that hasn't written on a day that's blank and write an article blasting them! So far, he's been happily disappointed.

France and Italy sent MPP's without prompting us, and we decided we were better off without them. An Indonesia NE proposal was created and passed.

Artela, as Secretary of Media, has started a media Competition! Read all about it in the WHPR Pony Express: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2616322

Somebody pointed out the "New Citizen Message" contains outdated links and images that are broken. The Executive is working with Congress and DMJ who currently hosts the images that aren't broken, to get a plan together to update these when the opportunity presents itself.


War update!

Currently, Indonesia is spending massive amounts of CO's to RW their territories from us after we take them. Currently, the plan is to just let them waste their money against the relentless onslaught that is the US fighting force. When they've decided it's not worth their money anymore, we'll re-conquer the entire region. In the meantime, UK regions that were occupied by Sweden have been re-conquered by the UK. While we're tied up in Indonesia, we've asked an ally to come hang out with us in the UK
