Minister of Information Corner

by Sir Neil Laumeyer

Londinium, Empires of Earth (AP) I have recently returned from a short break after realizing I had been burning out because of my workload, not just EoE, but with my college work as well. I needed a small break from EoE to set myself straight and I realized before I became back again, I had to make some tough decisions. I chose to step away from Deputy Minister of Immigration because it was easier for me to step away, especially when someone had expressed interest in the position so I don’t have to feel guilty. I look forward to working with everyone in EoE again and I am glad to be back.

Minister of Information Corner:

Londinium, Empires of Earth (AP)Lately, it has come to the attention that there have been some disagreements within Empires of Earth that have caused a couple members of Empires of Earth to think about leaving the Empire. There is no reason to be attacking people on the forum just because a person does not like another person. We should all be able to respect each other on the forum without having to resort to attacking each other on a public forum.

Deputy Minister of Information, Bootskitten states “I don’t really know Mr. Knifeking and we have only spammed together, but I still don’t really know him. However, I look forward to working with Mr. Knifeking and I am sure we will be great working as a team.” When asked how he felt about his appointment as Minister of Immigration, Knifeking responded “I think it is a great honor, and I see it as a great opportunity to help our region come out of the current slump we are in.” Some of his goals as Minister of Immigration are “I would like to beef up our numbers, to get us back on that top twenty list, and also in recruiting new people get them to join the forum so that is more active as well we have 40 some odd members and regions such as that where Linkin Maximus hails from with 400 some members.” When asked how he intends to achieve those goals, Mr. Knifeking responded “With the competition that I will address in the next question, trying to spurn everyone outside the competition to recruit and also me daily sending of telegrams and talking to newly formed regions.” When asked about who he was.

Nationstates: on the issues I don't vote so much what fits of political views but what sounds funny and goes with the inclinations of my nation, I do have a few puppets out there I'll let you guys figure those ones out for your self. I have had my nation for about 290 days.” The Empire congratulates knifeking and wishes him all the best.

Minister of Information Corner

by Sir Neil Laumeyer

Londinium, Empires of Earth (AP)Recently, I have seen many good people in government positions become less active in their duties and have lost their position. It saddens me that they all have done well in their positions. Sedarva, who was Empires of Earth’s Foreign Minister, left his nation to die and thus his inactivity in said position subsequently led to his replacement. United Morrison, was the regions Minister of Immigration up until his inactivity in recruiting led to his dismissal. United Morrison has since applied to be a reporter for the Peunod Thymes and so it will be interesting how it will turn out. Sedarva and United Morrison were well known for their positions. I have also noticed since the change from the old forum host and this one, that Empires of Earth has seem much higher activities. Perhaps it is the stability of the new host or perhaps people are getting less busy in their Real Life activities. So what’s next for Empires of Earth? Well, Lets just wait and see.

SenatorTC appointed PC/MFA

by Sir Neil Laumeyer

Londinium, Empires of Earth (AP)After the death of Sedarva and the retirement of Linkin, his majesty, Most Great Britannia, and Lord High Chancellor, Atlantis, Appointed SenatorTC as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. In addition, SenatorTC has been appointed an honorary title of Prince Consort. In the usual tradition of new appointments, Minister of Information Bootskitten asked a few questions to allow the Empire to know more about their new Minister of Foreign Affairs and Price Consort. When asked how he felt about his appointment as Prince Consort and Minister of Foreign Affairs, SenatorTC responded “I feel extremely honored that Most Great Britannia felt that I was worth enough to appoint me to such positions. I am very grateful.” SenatorTC came to Empires of Earth with a personal invite from his majesty, which he had known from working with him in LKE. When asked what his goals are for both the Prince Consort and Minister of Foreign Affairs, SenatorTC responded “Well that depends. In terms of my new role as Foreign Affairs Minister, I intend to dramatically increase Empires of Earth's standing amongst the international community and help to greatly improve the regions foreign relations; this will include regular updates and organized ambassadors. However if you mean in terms of my role as Prince Consort, then my answer would be to help actively promote the unity and values of the region, and help guide new and older regional members in their NS career. Overall I guess you could say that what I intend to accomplish is to help maintain and build upon the Empires of Earth's excellent reputation as a first class region.” On a question that asked him to tell the Peunod Thymes, and the whole of Empires of Earth about himself, SenatorTC responded “well in terms of my NS career, I am a native LKE citizen, I am their current Prime Minister, I have held quite a few cabinet jobs there both in the homeland and across their colonies. I am also currently the Lord High Chancellor of the EIE Empire too. So I’d say that my NS career has been pretty diverse. However, in terms of RL, well umm let’s see, I’m 17 years old; I live in London, UK. A very right wing conservative, Gay, and have a keen interest in politics.” The Empire wishes SenatorTC the very best in his new positions and looks forward to working alongside him.
