I was in a write-like mood so I wrote a small article for the 'Regional News' page on NS.
I'll put a copy here.

The East Pacific Marches On Bachtendekuppen, 5th October 2013
Last September, TEP honored the promise of a very active summer and dived into the fall with a lust for more. A nice and cozy foxcoup included, the region keeps doing what it does best: being the best P. And making Caek of course.
The Magisters pills
Rumor has it that a new miracle pill is being dealed within the sacred halls of the Magisterium. Reported symptoms include a heightened desire of voting, urges of making reasoned proposals and the irresistable hope of bettering the Concordat and benefiting the region as a whole. This curious behavior resulted in more then 24 votes taking place since July and not less then 3 Concordat amendments being presented to the unsuspecting citizens. These amendments were to strengthen the requirements of being Magister and ease the citizenship administration, as well as diminish the length of the Delegate's term. Not being on the same pills, the citizenry failed to reach the 75% approval needed one one vote, though luckily the second one on Magister requirements passed and the last amendment, about the length of the delegates term, is being voted on as we speak. Researchers have formulated assurances that the pills will continue to function, even when a referendum sometimes failes. Citizens can sleep easily in the knowledge that the pill-crazed Magisterium will continue to innovate for the better of the region.
EPSA Soldiers on front lines
A few days ago, Harmoneia, Delegate of Lazarus, lost the Delegacy because of some unfortunate mistakes. Upon request of the Regent of Lazarus, Milograd, EPSA came to the rescue. Mobilizing all heavy gear, Caek-loving soldiers rolled out and helped secure the region. Our excellent war reporters confirm that no casualties were suffered and that Harmoneia was restored as legitimate Delegate, upon which she and Milograd thanked our troops and TEP. Another round of success for our boys and girls abroad. Don't you just love the smell of Caek in the morning?
The TEP University and KISS
Keep It Simple, Stupid, was the general gist of the Chancellor's announced reforms of the University. In a fume of cigar smoke, the Puffin-like appearance of Bachtendekuppen explained that the programs of the University imposed too much work on all parties involved. “Instead of burying all these poor people in knowledge cold turkey, the University will handle a much more simple and hands-free system. The Faculties will contain several collections of works, put together by subject. Students wishing to get an academic title can use these sources and our library to send in essays. The Board of Holders will vote on granting an academic title. It's as simple as that. Prestige and knowledge will be their part.”
When asked about who these Holder persons are, the Chancellor replied, after yet again producing a curtain of blue cigar smoke, that “these are experts in their fields and they are ready to answer all your questions in the faculties or in the University in general. You know, these are people who are always looking to educate the younger generation and pass on their wisdom.”
Mixing it up
An army of administration workers has gathered to figure out the next steps of TEP. Why? Because a whole lot of elections are coming up. Never mind the fact that in about two months the Citizenry can choose a new Delegate, we have also Provost and Chancellor elections coming up! Want in on the action? Join the forums today! It's really not as daunting as it seems, and chances are you'll survive at least a day. It's Caek for everybody!
