Political Events

- May saw another election take place in the Islands. The Senate seats for Blue Canaria North and New Republica South were contested. In the race for the NRS seat, incumbent Markanite, the nominee of The Islands Party won a decisive race against The Defender Party candidate Valoniah, and independent candidate Surdra. Mark won with 60 votes to Val’s 22 and Surdra’s 10.
The race for the BCN seat was a different story altogether. Incumbent candidate and TIP nominee Malecia squared off against TDP candidate Calanria, who is a newcomer to the Islands. At one point, Cal was up by 5 votes and he looked as though he was going to unseat Mal. Both sides campaigned hard all week, and Mal was eventually able to catch Cal and surpass him, winning with a 5 vote margin and retaining his seat.
The BCN race also set a new record for voter turnout at 93, breaking the record from last fall for the Lyonesse East seat set by Paffnia and Malecia.
The results from both of these elections as well as elections past are available here. You can also read historical campaign threads.
- After a succesful period as Minister of Education Takaram decided to step down. We thank him for all his had work in the Islands. Markanite was appointed new minister, while Valoniah took over his senate seat in the Council of 9.

Thus, the composition of the current Council of Nine is:

- Ananke II (Delegate)
- MinnaCaroline (Minister of Immigration)
- Markanite (Minister of Education)
- Cerberion (Minister of Labor)
- Paffnia (Senior Senator, Lyonesse East)

Political Events

- It’s primary season again in the Islands. The primary races for the Senate Seats for Lyonesse East and Himes West are underway and the General Election for those seats will be held in July. There are a lot of very qualified candidates, so this promises to be a historic election with high turnout expected.
- Paffnia has announced that he will not be seeking re-election, so the Lyonesse East seat is going to be up for grabs this election. Paff has served three terms and has done a wonderful job overseeing the House system in the Islands. He was originally elected in the Fall of 2011 in one of the closest races in XKI history. Running against Malecia, that race also broke the record for voter turnout. Paff has exemplified the kind of service that XKI Senators provide. In addition to overseeing the House System, he was charged with writing the monthly Senate Report, and updating the XKI Calendar as well as picking the Rookie of the Quarter. Thanks to Paffnia for his service and good luck in all future endeavors!

A new nation by the name of United Federation of Canada caused a minor storm in the WA this month, trying to liberate Gargantuan and then pressure it's delegate Reagan Island leaving Gargantuan for alleged dictatorship behavior.

- Aersoldorf has become the newest Minister on the Council of 9 with the retirement of MinnaCaroline as Immigration Minister. Aersoldorf, who has been serving as the Himes West Senator and running the XKI Lottery, will now lead the Ministry of Immigration. Thanks to Minna for her wonderful leadership and outstanding service as Immigration Minister. Good luck to Aerso leading the Immigration department as our new MOI!
-With Minna’s retirement and Aerso becoming the new MOI, a special election will be held in May for the Himes West seat’s remaining term.
- In addition, the seats for Blue Canaria North and New Republica South will be up for grabs.

With the above mentioned changes, the composition of the current Council of Nine is:

- Grub (Founder)
- Woonsocket (Delegate)
- MinnaCaroline (Minister of Immigration)
- Markanite (Minister of Education)
- Cerberion (Minister of Labor)

- Aersoldorf (Senator, Himes West, outgoing)
- Humansanity (Senator, Lyonesse East)
- 3Lit3 (Senator, New Republica South)

TITO NEWS


-TITO Battles in April included: The West Pacific, Japan & Stargate, Iran 8, Italia 2, Juche Union, Continental Union, The Skeleton Army, Land of the Lads, East Pacific, Christmas 4, Iraq 6, The United Reddit Nations, and Turkish Islands.

-Very significantly in April: As part of a multinational force, the finest fighting force in NationStates took part in a week long effort to liberate The South Pacific. Wordy posted a speech in an award ceremony, but since this is not accessible to anyone except TITO members, it is quoted as follows:

At the end of April 2013 the Elected Delegate of The South Pacific turned rogue. He abolished the regional government, Forum and enlisted foreign support.
This marked the beginning of a Week long battle involving Allies of The South Pacific and Defenders from all over NationStates including TITO. During this time Milograd together with Durkistan and another un-named third party managed to purge the region of 3000 Nations.
TITO contributed Nations to the battle who returned again and again until the tide was turned. The continual effort slowly leached away any remaining influence the Rogue Delegate had until the final day when he could no longer afford the influence to ban any Nation in the region at update.
Due to the tireless efforts and continual support of TITO among many others The South Pacific was freed during a final liberation effort launched by the joint efforts of defenders and allies.

It is my great pleasure today to award all the TITO Nations that contributed to the week long operation and ultimate Victory.

Political Events

There is a lot of news to report from the XKI political sphere for May.


* Elections were held for 3 senate seats. The seat for Blue Canaria North was uncontested and therefore retained by incumbent Malecia
* With the retirement of 3lit3 from the Senate, 3 candidates vied for the New Republica South Seat. This was a very long race and ultimately had to be decided by the Council of 9. The candidates were The Islands Party Candidate Tsim Sha Tsui, Valoniah, representing The Defender Party, and Ketab, carrying the banner of the Mayor Shelter Political Party. Per 10000 Islands Election Law, with no candidate receiving a 50% majority in the General election, a runoff had to be held between the top two candidates. The runoff ended in a tie between Valoniah and Tsim Sha Tsui. The race then moved into the Council of 9 where Tsim prevailed in a very close vote.
* With Aersoldorf now serving as Immigration Minister, a special election was held for the Himes West seat. MSPP candidate Randomain prevailed over Olivia the Pig and Duckyian Empire, and will serve out the remainder of Aerso’s term. This seat will be contested again in July.
* With the new Senators, the current Council of 9 is:

Grub (Founder)
Cerb (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Woonsocket (WA Delegate)
Malecia (Senior Senator, Blue Canaria North)
Humansanity (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)


The Council held the following votes:

By a vote of 7-1, the Embassy with The North Pacific has been closed and our emissary has been recalled.
By a vote of 8-0, the Council declined to establish an Embassy with the Royal Alliance
By a vote of 8-0, the council declined to establish an embassy with The Rejected Realms
By a vote of 8-0, the Council voted to establish a “Fund to Advance XKI.” Details can be found here: Fund for XKI

Aersoldorf received the Improving Wordiness Cerulean Star for brining in 3000 confirmed Recruits.
Malecia received the Lockeria Green Star for brining in 450 confirmed recruits.
For his outstanding work as a recruiter, the Council of 9 has granted Ater Nox his own House.

Please note the delay was due to the fact that we had a forum upgrade and that I was recently appointed emissary to this fine region!

In June, ProBoards upgraded the forum and this caused a great deal of upheaval to our home board. As it stands now, most of the issues have been resolved. The Awards system, Taco system and shop have yet to be restored. However, Founder Grub is hard at work on these issues and we anticipate that the forum will be restored within a relatively short period of time.

No elections were held in June. In July, the Senate seats of Himes West and Lyonesse East will be up for grabs.

Delegate Woonsocket has announced the appointment of four new Emissaries: Duckyian Empire - Texas, New Ecopia - Jethnea, Benevolent Thomas - FRA, and Land Filled With People- The South Pacific. Good luck to our four newest Emissaries in your missions to your respective regions!

TITO News

  • TITO Battles in June included: Quebec, Band Camp.

  • There were several changes to TITO Command in June. Improving Wordiness has moved on and her replacement is the very capable Land Filled with People.
  • Tactical Officers Eist and Boltor, as well as XO Ad Infinitum have stepped aside and have been replaced by T.O. Benevolent Thomas and XO Kanaia.

  • We should take a moment to remember the service of Wordy, who led TITO through some of its finest hours, including the recent liberation of The South Pacific.
  • We should also take a moment to remember the contributions of Bolt, Eist, and PAI. To paraphrase a great leader of the last century: Never has so much been owed by so many to so few.

  • Last, As Senior Senator, I want to convey my fondest and most sincere wishes of good luck to Field Commander Land Filled With People, Tactical Officer Benevolent Thomas, and Executive Officer Kanaia. Public Service, whether as Delegate, a Senator, a Minister, or a TITO Command Officer is oft times very burdensome. Many do not realize the demands placed on those who serve in these posts. This is particularly true of TITO staff. While Senators have the tri-annual challenge of running for office, TITO staff and the decisions they make are a direct reflection on the Islands and on our claim as the "Finest Fighting Force in Nation States." So please join me in wishing all three of our new officers the very best in the challenges they will be facing.

TITO Command is:

Grub (Commander in Chief)
Land Filled With People (Field Commander)
Benevolent Thomas (Tactical Officer)
Kanaia (Executive Officer
