May Senatorial Elections
This month saw the senatorial seats for Himes West (Regional Role Play) and Lyonesse East (Houses) go up for grabs. Incumbent Himes West Senator
Zaberaz Hapang ran with plans to overhaul the forum roleplay experience, as well as organize more interregional roleplays (read about it
here).
Flying Eagles ran for Lyonesse East with more modest but no less important goals, including more Discord advertising and adding more house awards (you can read their campaign
here). You can also read both candidates' answers to debate questions
here. Both Zaberaz Hapang and Flying Eagles won in uncontested landslide victories.
Margaux has also decided to step down as Minister of Immigration this month, with
Sulenia being appointed to lead the department of immigration. We wish you all a successful term!

XKI Game-Side
This month, regional pollster
Jabberwocky polled regarding the crucial global vaccination effort, "Have you received your COVID vaccine? If not, do you intend to get it?' This poll clearly generated interest with a total of 117 responses. 62 votes (52.99%) came from fully vaccinated people, and 38 votes (32.48%) came from those intending to get vaccinated. There were 17 votes that were either from those not getting vaccinated, either because they think COVID is hoax, religious/ethical reasons, or paranoia about chip inplantation. Fortunately, the total number of sane voters (vaccinated or intending to get vaccinated) was 85.47%, which is above the 70% needed to achieve herd immunity. You can look at all the numbers
here at the polls page.
Islanders have been scurrying the past month to find the meaning to life, the universe, and everything (alongside some other important questions).

Retro gaming with Val!Meet The Nation
This month, Deputy Senator for Blue Canaria North
AxeCapital interviewed the biggest name in XKI sports roleplay over at
A Taco Archipelago.
Venmere has organized a number of tournaments under the Peregrine Cup name, and is now working with
Haivon,
Zaberaz Hapang,
Krystalveil, and
The Republic of Osea to organize the first ever ATA Olympics.
AxeCapital: Why did you decide to make XKI your home in NS?
Venmere:When I first founded my nation, I was looking around for a region to join. I saw something about tacos in the fact page for XKI, and I joined instantly! I've been here ever since then.
AxeCapital: What is the thing you enjoy the most about XKI?
Venmere: I love how everyone here is so supportive. I never would have gotten off the ground and into the big nation I am today if it weren't for everyone else here.
AxeCapital: When did you organize your first sports tournament, and what made you decide to first organize one?
Venmere: The first Peregrine Cup was held in December of 2020. I've always been a bit of a sports nerd, and I love stats and such. It was natural for me to want to host one here after I saw that other nations had done the same. Organizing that first tournament is what launched me into RP and into ATA, and it's something I'm incredibly grateful for.
AxeCapital: What are some of your most memorable moment/moments that any of these tournaments?
Venmere: Probably my favorite moment was the semifinal of the Peregrine Cup III, in which Haivon defeated Zaberaz Hapang. It was 5-5 at the end of regulation, and Haivon beat ZH in penalty kicks. You can see the full commentary from that game
here.
That game was a nail-biter and very tension-filled. I was pumped with adrenaline afterwards and I had to go lie down.
AxeCapital: You recently decided the consolidate all sport tournaments into the ATA Summer & Winter Olympics. What do you think will be the impact of this (Higher participation, more event types)?
Venmere: Since there are more events, I hope more people will want to join. Additionally, the Olympics gives it a feel different than what the Peregrine Cup had been before, e.g. it's no longer "Venmere's Tournament" but "ATA"s Tournament." I want as many nations as possible to join, and if you're reading this and haven't been in RP yet, come on over to ATA and give it a try! The first Summer Olympics will take place in September of this year.
