Let this post serve as formal, albeit not aesthetically pleasing, confirmation, that the Republic of Galatea's application for membership in the United Nations has been accepted. Congratulations!

If this came as a surprise, I have a bridge to sell you.

On the second of May of the year two thousand and eighteen of our Lord, His Excellency Roode Mann, in his capacity as President of Galatea, has signed the Galatean Housing Authority Act into law. The President has directed that the text of the law be printed without delay in the Galatea Gazette and be registered as Public Law 2018-05 within the civil codes of Galatea.

As provided for by its text, the Galatean Housing Authority Act shall come into force throughout Galatea in thirty days.

All dates are marked to begin/end at the following time:
8am Pacific / 11am Eastern / 5pm Central European

May 10: opening of campaign (this is in a bit under 18 hours)
May 20: closing of campaign, opening of vote
May 22: closing of vote

All campaigning will occur in the Daily Life thread. All campaign posts must be marked with the hashtag #GalateaEUYes or #GalateaEUNo in order to be counted.

Archism, Paketo, and myself will be grading the RPs and keeping a tally which will remain secret during the campaigning and voting period.

Important: RPing does not directly determine the outcome of the referendum. There will be some randomness in the final scorinated system. RPing just makes your odds much better, and will be the largest factor as to who wins the additional votes on top of those votes in the 48 hour voting period that you all will engage in directly.

A rough formula for clarity:
(randomness_factor_Yes)(RP_score_Yes) + senator_Yes_votes = votes for side A

It hasn't passed yet though? Only through the HoR.
