Unfortunately, our recently-appointed HR Director, HEM, has voluntarily decided to step down due to real-life time commitments. The Board would like to thank them for their service, despite being with us for only a short period.

The Board has agreed to reinstate our former HR Director Precoixious to the role, with Grater Tovakia remaining in the deputy position.

"outgoing"

Timely.

"outgoing"

Timely.

And also not, since I can safely say that the criticisms portion was already outdated when this was posted

In some other news, Brihimia has been appointed as Chief Politics Editor in Llo's place, though Llo will continue as Chief Content Officer (no longer overseeing himself as head of that department). We are always looking for more writers, so be sure to apply to join us if you are interested.

[NationStates Today]

First monthly edition released here!

Check our newest monthly series by Llo called 'The Shift', which looks at the changes in World Assembly populations across the major regions of NationStates and analyses the key driving factors in those shifts. For November 2019, while average growth exceeded 5%, the changes have been diverse, with Thalassia growing rapidly as they levelled with the former Pacifica population, The East Pacific moving in a negative direction as Marrabuk supporters departed after their seizing of the Delegacy, and strong growth in the refounding sinkers with the help of Z-Day.

At 22:20 UTC we surpassed our £100 goal for our charity appeal after just 3 days . At the time of writing we have raised £113.59 for Amnesty International plus £2.50 gift aid. With this in mind we have doubled our goal to £200 and we hope to raise as much as possible by Christmas Day. To donate please click the button below and please give generously to charity this festive season so that we may all help those less fortunate than us.

[NationStates Today]

We did it!
Not only did we raise £100 for amnesty international in 3 days. We then doubled the amount raised in 6, reaching £200, double our original goal, at approximately 8AM UTC today. The person who got us over the line was Altino (♡ you mum), with their donation taking us to £207.65 raised in jut 9 days. This would not have been possible without the 15 different people who donated to this, each person donated an average of £13.84 with an average total donation of £23.07 per day. The entire of NationStates Today would like to place on record our sincerest thanks to everyone who donated to the appeal, gave up their time to record songs or participate in streams and advertised/ allowed us to advertise the appeal in their regions off-site property. It has amazed us to see people from every background on NationState,s including those who some of us have had serious IC differences with, come together and help make this the phenomenal success it has been. When I sat down with Lewis and Llo a few months ago to talk about this I said I would be amazed with £50, to raise £200 has been absolutely mind boggling. With that in mind we want to wish everyone in NationStates a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and look forward to releasing a new version of the shift, an anniversary edition and a new edition of Power20 by the end of the year and into the first days of 2020.
