Update no. 15, September 2013
Lots and lots and lots has happened!
But only because it’s ten months since the last official update. In the meprome, the TRR Media Corp has taken over providing news/rumours/slander from the region. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or in Wysteria), you’ll have noticed a lot has changed lately. Most importantly, the Whamocracy has fallen, and we are now living under an iron fisted Frattatorship. All the Officer roles are filled, and we have a new(ish) Speaker after citizens protested Christian Democrats making public a number of private discussions without notifying the Assembly first.
PSSP
The Rejected Realms remains in the Pan-Sinker Security Pact; however, it’s getting a little lonely here. Balder and Osiris have withdrawn in the aftermath of Douria’s coup, considering the treaty a worthless document and leaving just Lazarus and TRR remaining. In fact, TRR and Lazarus are already allies through another treaty - the doubling up proves just how much we like each other. Petitions to the admins to create a new batch of more reliable sinkers have so far fallen on deaf ears.
NS Cold War
The Gameplay forum is full of tedious, tiresome and tortuous arguments between the NPO and the UIAF as the developing Cold War has hotted up. Citizens of the Rejected Realms have discussed the conflict, considered both positions, and - after a period of deep reflection - given a resounding no to getting involved. Nonetheless, the conflict has impacted on TRR, with the collapse of the PSSP related to it, and a number of exposés relating to the security of the region. Notably, current citizen North East Somerset has been implicated in pushing the Pacific to remove the supposed “FRA dominated” regime from the region. In response, citizens are considering booting him to the Really Rejected Realms.
Rejected Realms Army
The Rejected Realms Army has flourished of late under the command of Frattastan and Wopruthien, and nations flying the RRA flag have been involved in defences of a number of regions, including Capitalist Federation, Tibet, The New British Empire, The Great Green Federation, and The Republic of NationStates, as well as assisting in TSP’s delegate transfer (and no, not in that way). The RRA Intel department remains fully active, and agent Onderkelkia continues to work his way up the ranks in The New Inquisition.
Fratt-naming
TRR is holding a competition to find the best nickname for delegate Frattastan. So far, we have:
[ul][li]Frattle
[li]Frattiekins
[li]Fattiestan
[li]Fartastan
[li]Fratt boy
[li]Frattface[/li][/ul]
Feel free to post further submissions in this thread.
The best one will get mentioned in the next update.
Everything else
[ul][li]Frattastan was appointed a Global Mod. So far he has failed to abuse his powers, leaving his peons worrying about just what he’s got planned.
[li]Culture Officer Wopruthien has been running avatar/flag contests for a while now, with any resident being able to take part.
The winner of each week gets to choose the theme of the next one, with past themes including Disney villains, legends of modern music and historical characters.
[li]TRR’s number one fanboy, Belschaft, has returned to apply for citizenship. We attempted to find out why, but he disappeared midway through answering.[/li][/ul]
