I also noticed some things that happened. I would like to remind everyone to stay calm and try not to get into small disagreements. Two good Speakers quit over these and it's important to remember that this is a fun, chill RP not for conflict.
In addition, it seems that there's been an uptick in OOC posts in IC threads. I will remind y'all that these are to be kept to an absolute minimum and should not be clogging the threads. Most of the time, take it to telegrams or Discord.
Finally, I apologize for the lack of OP updates. I update it when I can, but it seems I am often the only one.

I was away for like, two weeks, and now I'm totally lost. Can anyone please fill me in on what just happened?
Welcome back! I'm not sure when you were last active, so I'll start with the passage of our Constitution, which established our parliamentary system. A coalition of liberals and the left nominated a candidate for Prime Minister, but failed. A coalition of the NPP, FPP, CPC, SHAPC, and C-P put forward another candidate and won. They are now in Government. Part of securing the C-P's votes was the right supporting the compromise Rational Taxation Scheme Act, which left everyone unhappy but voting aye. We had an RP'ed election for Commissioner (Mayor) of St. Hilda's capital, Fort Ulrika. The SHAPC candidate won. In the meantime, two speakers quit and Martune is now the independent Speaker. That's about it, let me know if I forgot anything.
