Fellow Texans !!! It is speech time again. This will be the 31st if you are keeping score at home. As we usually start off, it is still a pleasure to be the President of Texas for as long as we have! Actually, we are no longer "President" per se, we recently got promoted to Governor. We always wanted to be Governor, but our first Vice President, Fred II [R.I.P], would hear nothing of it. We went round and round over the issue when we first created the Texas Government back in July/August 2003. Maybe he just did nto want to be Lieutenant Governor. Well, Fred is gone and we are now Governor. The End. Back to speech-making. We truly enjoy the position and all the contact we have with not only Texans but with all the nations around the world. It is really interesting and fun meeting and talking to people all around the world and talking about a diverse variety of subjects. Last Quarter, we switched to trimesters due to waning participation. It is nice to see that the Election have really gained more participation to not only this event, but to the offsite as well. That is great. We like the offisite. As we stated last time, The Almighty Max just keeps cranking out improvements and The World continues to grow. It is still growing and most peeps just enjoyed the best April Fools Day preank ever. Texas was an extremely high profile player in that event from both a positive and negative point of view. We would just like to say thank you again to all who supported us in the IPO endeavor to make Texas a worldwide phenomena. Addtionally, Texas continues to grow. The average population of a Texas nation is now 6.380 billion citizens (down a little from 6.676 billion last quarter)! When you consider how many new nations are factored into that, many are much larger. We even now have three nations with more than 20 billion citizens. So, what does all this have to do with the office of the Governor of Texas? Well, that tells us that even though sometimes things are slow around Texas, it is still a dynamic and fun place that people care about, or care enough about to stick around and see what is next. That tells us that we have all been doing something right over the years. There are now over 10,200 regions (up over 1000 from last quarter) in the NationStates world where a nation could reside and we are still quite happy when we see nations choose Texas. We know that is a decision that they decided to make as we are still not recruiting. It lets us know that either we are doing something right or that the nations moving here have faith that we may be doing something right. If we have said it once, we have said one hundred times, Texas has the best citizens in all of NationStates! We consider it our job to make Texas The Bestest Region in NationStates® And we mean it. We have been trying to "win" this game for years. We are still trying, but, it is kind of a difficult game to "win" with so few rules. However, the great people that we get to talk to and meet pretty much assures us that we are winning! And that is not just us, that is all of Texas! We just want to let everyone know that we are not solely responsible for this. It is all of the fine nations of Texas that make Texas great! We are simply a facilitator. We could not do a half or even a fourth of all the great stuff Texas does without the help of many, many of its fine citizens. We wish to take this opportunity to thank all of Texas! We would just like to assure you that we are far from running out of ideas and activities. We are running a little low, but have been "saving" some for years just waiting for the right opportunity. For example, we are finally showing our fellow nations just what NewTexas looks like. That has never been revealed before. The beauty of NS is that new nations are always coming and going and they bring with them new stuff. So, the burden of creating new content does not rest completely on current Texans. We have some relatively new go-getters who we look forward to seeing just what they are going to do. As we have mentioned in the past, while we are not "technically" nominated, it is our distinct pleasure to wake up every morning and see that we are still "The Governor of Texas" through our endorsements! We hope that is indicative that we are still needed. We appreciate each and every Texans' support! We certainly know that this could change at any given time or day. Thank you all! We could not do it without you! Always striving to make Texas Great! Big Tex Governor of Texas
