Editorial:
LAZARUS GRAND-REOPENING
By New Rogernomics

Lazarus is now open again for business, after a Constitutional Convention that went belly-up, and a few hurdles in setting up a new forum. Now that they are over with, Lazarus is getting back into being the Sinker that keeps coming back from the dead, literally. The new Delegate, Imkiville, is gradually appointing people to political office, and a 'Grand-Reopening Festival' is about to begin, to which Lazarenes and participants from other regions are cordially invited.

News:
GRAND RE-OPENING FESTIVAL BEGINS
By New Rogernomics

With a lot of slow forum activity, it was perhaps the best time to have some activities to liven things up. Starting today there are Sign-Ups to an event loosely based on Werewolf, called Wolfists vs 'La Resistance' based around the Lazarene Civil War, as well as a Tubbius Grand Feast Event, with mysteries to solve and a lot of delicious food to be had. There are of course discussions on the Lazarene Discord, as well as general spam games on the New Forum.

It might be a rather ad-hoc festival, so things might go a little crazy. So be warned, it will be fun, Lazarene style.

Opinion:
LAZARUS KEEPS RISING, AND IT FELL DOWN
By New Rogernomics

Lazarus has always been one of those regions that falls down, and eventually gets back up. It has survived numerous coups, and revolutions, and counter-revolutions, and counter-counter revolutions, and civil wars. With the fall of the Wolfist regime, Lazarus is still back to being Lazarus, and hopefully it puts the past behind it and moves on. There are plenty of reasons to be annoyed with Lazarus, and I doubt that in the future there won't be foreign actors wanting to move in, or some sinister plot to overthrow the Lazarene government, as is the general ebb and flow of Gameplay geo-politic.

Plenty in Lazarus thought that sort of thing was over during the Celestial Union, and before that the Humane Republic, and before that the People's Republic of Lazarus. Often those that see the fall coming act too late, aren't believed, or fail to fix the unfix-able. Ultimately whether this new, and hopefully improved, Lazarus, succeeds will depend on the 'minnows' as the PRL once termed it, those who eventually head and lead the government, and on whether people are to be apathetic or step up to improve the region.

It is true that the Constitutional Convention failed, and perhaps the fallout from that will last for a while, but it isn't anything that Lazarus as a region, and it's friends in Nationstates can't move past over time. According to some this is very much an open book, as we've swept aside the old order, and we are prepared to let the past be the past. If this new Lazarus is to succeed, it will need the Wolfists, the Celestial Unionites, the People's Republicans, and those who fell foul of those regimes, to let grievances go and not let them bring down the future.

Commentary:
A NEW ERA: A LOOK ON THE ASSEMBLY'S WORK SO FAR
By Ryccia

Citizens are hard at work, as the Assembly has been inaugurated as Lazarus's legislative body.

As stipulated in the Mandate, the Assembly is comprised of all the citizens of Lazarus, and all may suggest any law or amendment they wish as a result. So far as of this writing, there have been nine proposals from various topics, from the procedures of the Assembly, resolutions regarding the continuation of past governments, criminal and judicial legislation, and even to define the regional currency.

So far, however, only two bills have been enshrined in legislation. Lazarene citizens are taking their time to come up with new ideas, or the current propositions are still under debate.

The new Delegate Imkiville managed to nominate a Chair, a Vice Delegate, and the Court. Debate followed, and all the nominations were approved by the Assembly. There was also a proposal to oust the Delegate due to inactivity, on the basis that she had not nominated any new Ministers. The author, Old Hope, seems to be satisfied with a response from the Delegate, but has said that he will reopen discussion if this is not looked into and rectified.

Nice article. Keep 'em coming, Laz

[Salvarity]

You guys gave EW a job in your Government?

[Lord Dominator]

You guys gave EW a job in your Government?

Yes. Had a confirmation vote and everything, passed nearly unanimously

[Lazarene Ryccia]

Nearly. I don't trust him fully, but I guess Imki picked him for his skills, and to "heal the divides" and bring Lazarus together. A clean slate, I guess.

I still don't trust him after last year, but let's see how things go.

Trust no one in GP.
IC anyway.

[Malphe]

Wasn't Cormac speaker, or is the sleep deprivation getting to my head?

[Lord Dominator]

He was, but he stepped down a few days ago

[Imkiville]

Woohoo!

[Lord Dominator]

What we need is a fancy counter somewhere that we can hotlink, so that we can have that update automatically

[Arlo]

That uh.. That could be arranged haha

[Xoriet]

This is beautiful, Imki.

[Pergamon]

Loving it.

[Lazarene Ryccia]

Goddess of Art does it again.

Woohoo!

It's been 150 days!? o-o
I need to get off this stupid game.

Does not compute

[Imkiville]

I should clarify, 150 days since I took the delegacy from Wolf, I haven't kept track of how long it's been since the concon ended.

[Vultopia II]

Congratulations to the Delegate on this impressive accomplishment. The longevity of the Delegacy is the epitome of the needs of Lazarus and an important statement to the Delegate's commitment to ensuring the safety, security, and function of the Lazarene region that had prior been ransacked by incompetent governments, brutal coups, and foolish actions.

More generally, congratulations to the entire Lazarene government on the opening of a Gameplay embassy. It seems as if we are finally getting off the ground, and I am certainly delighted to see function and competence from the government. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow Lazarenes in the Assembly and elsewhere.

Unfortunately, better luck next time for us.

Better co-ordination will be needed, as we weren't able to get our faction set up in time.

2 days 8 hours ago: Imkiville appointed The Official Mascot of Lazarus of Killer Kitty as Minister of Recruitment & Outreach with authority over Appearance, Communications, and Polls in Lazarus.

Wait a minute... the same Killer Kitty whose banjection by the same Imkiville paved the path for her to form almost the same style of government in Lazarus (i.e. meritocracy with the next delegate being selected by their predecessor, except without the Wolfist links)?

No, this is an entirely different Killer Kitty. Sorry for the confusion.

Or was he only placed in such a position to gear up for Lazarus' ill-fated Workers vs Wolfists nuke-off? (Of course, I await the inevitable, inadvertent Sinker Alliance for N-Day⁴.)
