For most of the citizen’s of The Ragerian Imperium, the past few weeks have been largely uneventful. For the admin team, however, the last couple weeks have been exceptionally busy. As I am sure you’re aware of, the Zetaboards-Tapatalk merger is scheduled to happen in the next few days and as a result, the admin team has decided to migrate our forum to proboards. The new forum can be found here. This is not a decision we take lightly; the admin team has discussed each of our options extensively. Expect the migration to be complete and approved the Citizens’ Assembly within the next few days. Ambassadors to us, please create an account on the new forum and post all future foreign updates on your respective subforum. We apologize for any inconveniences and thank you for your understanding. Please contact your ambassador from us, the Grand Councillor, Madeline, or the Councillor of External Affairs, Samsonyte with any questions or concerns.

Thanks for the update

Monarchy: Emperor: Vulturret Prince of the First Rank: Sithis

Executive: Grand Councillor: Aav Verinhall Councilor of Internal Affairs: Jas Councilor of External Affairs: Madeline Valois Councilor of Communications: Frenchy

Judiciary: Chief Justiciar: Caesar Associate Justiciar: Samsonyte Associate Justiciar: Smith VerinGuard

Legislative: Assembly Speaker: Madeline Valois

The Ragerium Imperium has been particularly silent in the last month and a half due to internal structure needing to be revised in order to be the best region we can be. During this time, we have had a new Grand Councillor and a new Fleet Admiral as well as a slew of legal court battles of which one remained.

Following the Lawsuit filed by former Fleet Admiral Jake against former Grand Councillor Madeline, a court case ensued where Madeline had to prove her innocence in the charge of Blackmail. While the details as to what action exactly led to her being blackmailed are to remain classified due to the proceedings happening in a private court, the details of the results are able to be shared. Grand Councillor Madeline was found innocent of Blackmail and received no additional charges or sentencing. The court chastised the region for again allowing a private matter which should have been handled in private be brought to the courts. The court has had a particularly difficult time in regards to personal matters staying personal rather than airing for all to see. This became prevalent during Fleet Admiral Jake's many attempts to take citizens to court. One of his final attempts were to sue former Speaker Eli Hesial for holding Jake in contempt within the Assembly, the court denied this application due to the reactionary nature that Jake showed as well as other factors.

Following the end of a two week court case, Emperor Vulturret came out with a few announcements regarding leadership, citizen conduct, and administrative conduct.
In regards to military leadership, Jake was dishonorably discharged from the Armada and stripped of all his titles and honors gained in the region due to his betrayal of trust in the Crown. Jake had prior to this announcement removed more members of the Imperial War Command leaving only himself and the Crown within the chambers. Some citizen claimed Jake was trying to centralize his power and reduce the number of opposers to his actions within the Armada, which had been under scrutiny by a number of citizens. The two who were demoted and removed from the Imperial War Command were Admiral McMannia WhiteHall and Admiral Samsonyte. McMannia was the Deputy Grand Councillor at the time while Samsonyte was the presiding judge over the blackmail case between Jake and Madeline. Following Jake's dishonorable discharge, Samsonyte was returned to his proper position within the Armada while McMannia was not due to his resignation in protest of the actions of the former Fleet Admiral. Samsonyte was then given a promotion and made the new Fleet Admiral. The citizenry breathed a sigh of relief knowing a level headed and well liked member of the community shall now lead our military with strength and respect.
In regards to Executive Leadership, after discussing with Madeline, Vulturret relieved Madeline and McMannia of their duties as Grand Councillor and Deputy Grand Councillor respectively and appointed Aav VerinHall as Grand Councillor. Since his appointment, Aav has created his full Imperial Council and has continued to work with his council to get the ball moving on more regional activities and involvement.

This past week the Imperium had their elections for Speaker of the Assembly. The two candidates, incumbent Eli Hesial and Deputy Speaker Madeline Valois, ran a clean race to ensure the best for the job was picked. In the end, Madeline rose as the victor receiving votes from the Crown as well as the incumbent. Eli Hesial explained that he had voted for Madeline due to a need to get his mental health in check and that he wishes her the best of luck as Speaker within the region. Eli then indicated he would be taking a step back from politics to ensure he was the best he could be before involving himself in anymore regional activities.

Following the election, the Assembly hit the ground running with amendments to the Constitution flying left and right. Two amendments are for the Criminal Code which will allow for OOC Admins to do their jobs without IC scrutiny and to better define malfeasance and nonfeasance of office. Another amendment comes for the Assembly Procedures, which will mandate the use of a template for legislation to ensure legislation proposed is consistent with the values of the region. The most controversial amendment is authored by the Crown and former citizen Naj. This amendment is a proposal for an entirely new Constitution, which the most controversial article, other than the Monarch's article, being the Lord Protector which would be in charge of maintenance and overseeing the Crown. The more concerning part which have citizens concerned is the powers which the Lord Protector gives, that being, many abilities that the Monarch has as well as the ability to amend the Constitution at will with the Monarch. Only time will tell if a common ground shall be found and until then, our citizens shall continue to legislate and debate.

Affirming a Friendship



The Ragerian Imperium’s oldest ally, the Land of Kings and Emperors, has long been an important region in the NationStates world, and the Imperium is honored to have the LKE as a partner. However, the Imperium and the LKE wished to expand their relations, and after working on this for a while, their plan has come to fruition. Following negotiations between the Governments of the LKE and TRI, the Treaty of Niso, named after a colony of the Land of Kings and Emperors, was signed, and it passed the Imperial Senate of the LKE and the Citizens’ Assembly of the Ragerian Imperium with extremely strong majorities in both.



Both the Land of Kings and Emperors and the Ragerian Imperium hope that the new treaty, which includes many provisions for cooperation in different areas will only expand the close relationship between those two regions.

New Government Formed



Following the conclusion of Aav Verinhall[/nation]’s tenure as Grand Councillor (Head of Government), His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Vulturret was quick to appoint a longtime Ragerian, Sithis (Xhakhaslovakia), as the next Grand Councillor. In his acceptance speech, the new Grand Councillor expressed aspirations to revive interest in the civil service and to further the Imperium’s foreign strength. Additionally, the Grand Councillor appointed the outgoing Grand Councillor, Aav Verinhall, as his Councillor of External Affairs, while Xemt returned to his prior position as Councillor of Internal Affairs. The Emperor offered kind words of encouragement for the new government, saying that the Grand Councillor’s record of service to the Imperium is “paralleled by few.”

Z-Day Fosters New Cooperation


During the Z-Day period, the Imperial Council got to work quickly fostering a response plan for the region- attempting to research a cure and exterminating the zombies in the meantime. Internal Affairs Councillor Xemt and several Citizens were extremely active on the Regional Message Board, discussing plans for the events. We are delighted that such cultural cooperation was fostered between our residents during the event.

Congratulations to Sithis and the rest of the region on their new government. Best wishes.

The Ragerian Imperium: December Foreign Update

---

Welcome New Allies The Ragerian Imperium has always seen it as an important task to be involved with other regions diplomatically. Most recently we have opened embassies with two regions. The first of which is Europeia which we have participated in military exercises with in the past. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with them as our embassies are now open. The second embassy that has been opened is one with United Kingdom. We look forward to getting to know them more and working with them.

New Constitution Passed and New Officials Appointed On December 3rd, the Citizens' Assembly voted to pass a new constitution for the region, titled Constitution II. This will allow our region to continue to adapt to its needs as it grows at a rapid pace. Shortly after it was passed by the Assembly, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Vulturret granted the new constitution Imperial Assent and began the legal implementation of it. One of the main changes in the new constitution was the creation of the Imperial Senate. Our new Senate will be the principle legislative body for the Imperium. Furthermore, our new Senate approves requests for treaties and declarations of war. With this new constitution separating powers, it was required to appoint new officials. The first of which was Jake, who was appointed as Grand Councillor. We are happy to have him back and are already excited about the work we have seen from him. With the creation of the Senate we had three slots to fill in that legislative body. We are happy to have His Imperial Highness, Samsonyte as President of the Senate and look forward to his work in this branch of government. Crodnu, a new face in our government was appointed as a Senator as well, and we are optimistic about his work there. Aav Verinhall was also named a Senator filling the remaining seat on the Senate as well as being appointed as Chief Justiciar of the Imperium. We can't wait to see who his picks for Associate Justiciars will be.

Declaration of War on The New Pacific Order On November 25th, Emperor Vulturret issued an Imperial Edict for Declaration of War Against the New Pacific Order. This followed a week of conflict in which we battled with some of our allies over St Abbaddon as we remain committed to fighting alongside our allies for what is right. The Ragerian Imperium strongly condemns the behavior of the New Pacific Order's government in their inexcusable actions. We find their actions of harboring a known forum destroyer as well as their unprovoked attacks on our friends and allies completely unacceptable. Our region also denounces how they are treating their citizens by ejecting those that ask questions and restricting their use of the forums. We believe that all nations should be free to ask questions and post on forums as they wish. The war is going well with the Security Council passing Condemn The Pacific by an overwhelming majority, as supported by our Executive Government and Armada. Their crimes against regional sovereignty across NationStates must be punished or their behavior will continue. We continue to chide them for their actions and remain committed to the war against them.

New Prince of The First Rank With the sad disappearance of the previous Prince Sithis the region was left with no choice but to find a replacement. His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Vulturret searched all throughout the region to find a worthy candidate. After a very long search one was finally found. We are pleased and happy to announce that His Imperial Highness, Samsonyte has been named as the new Prince of The First Rank. His Imperial Highness, Samsonyte has been highly involved in most branches of the government and the armada wherever His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Vulturret has needed him. At times throughout the region he has served as Grand Councillor, Chief Justiciar, Fleet Admiral, and as our ambassador to other regions. With such extensive experience we know he will do the region well. We wish His Imperial Highness, Samsonyte the best of luck and great success as our new Crown Prince.

Recent Armada News This past month has been a great time for our armada. We had a successful occupation of The Philippines where we spent some time vacationing with some of our allies. We were joined there for a great time by The Black Hawks and the Independent Joint Command Coalition. A great time was had by all due to the great weather as we relaxed in the pool there. In addition our armada assisted one of our allies, The Black Hawks on a raid of St. Abbaddon which had initial success. The performance of our troops were fantastic and resulted in Crodnu being promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade in the armada. We look forward to the armada's continued success.

The Ragerian Imperium: January Foreign Update

---

Imperium Expands External Outreach Furthering the Ragerian Imperium's aggressive expansion into acquiring new connections with other regions, a new consulate has been opened in the East Pacific. We hope that this will better both of our regions' projects and cultural events, as well as defenses. And though our goals and agendas are sometimes quite different, we look forward to learning their points of view and helping one another - despite our differences. In addition, The Ragerian Imperium successfully opened an embassy in United Kingdom as well. We look forward to working with and getting to know United Kingdom's King, Akillian.

Imperial Court Reforms Produce Excellent Results As mentioned in our December Foreign Update, His Imperial Majesty was most pleased to sign Constitution II earlier last month. Among various other improvements to the region from an expansionist standpoint, the new Constitution allows for major reforms to the Imperial Court, most importantly increasing the number of Associate Justiciars (Justices) from two to three. This will allow appeals to be heard by three Justiciars, rather than just two, which could've led to deadlocked Courts. The Imperium is therefore pleased to announce that the Chief Jusiticar, Aav Verinhall, has nominated his three choices for the Office of Associate Justiciar, and all three of these nominations have received the unanimous consent of the newly ordained Imperial Senate. Internal Affairs Councillor Xemt, Senator Crodnu, and Citizen COTNC have received positions on the Imperial Court. We are grateful for their service.

TRI Strongly Backs APC Operations After participating as one of the three initial parties in the fight against the horrific New Pacific Order and their ideology, The Ragerian Imperium is pleased to announce that it shall continue to pursue agressive courses of action against the NPO. The region was therefore delighted to join as one of the initial members of the Anti-Pacific Coalition. Given its presence as the primary (and only excelling) leader of joint operations against the Pacific, TRI enjoys supporting the excellent work of the Organizers of the Anti-Pacific Coalition. Through coordination and participation in activities such as recruitment via the Regional Message Board, the region continues to vehemently throw its support into overthrowing the hostile regime oppressing the Pacific.

The Ragerian Imperium's Surge of Growth Mentioned in the My Fellow Ragerian event, the Ragerian Imperium has hit a new height in membership, recruitment of new nations, new citizens, new officials, and activity. This has included over 250 posts on our forums in just one day. With new, creative minds entering the region, we hope that they will be able to contribute to other offices in order to better serve the region for everyone. Already, one of the new citizens has made some impressive art concepts for our military. They already seem like a potential new candidate for our Citizens' Assembly or military. Discord attendance, forum activity, and RMB discussion has also been on the rise, and a good portion of which has come from new citizens. We hope they will eventually expand to the other platforms as well for better communication. We have high hopes that this surge in activity will continue, and help the region and its new members even more. This has been attributed by His Majesty to the great work of the executive government.

Successful Panel of My Fellow Ragerian Amazes Citizens and Guests On December 15th, our executive government hosted another successful installment of My Fellow Ragerian. We had our Internal Affairs Councillor Xemt hosting with guest appearances from Emperor Vulturret, Prince of the First Rank Samsonyte, Grand Councillor Jake, Senator Crodnu, and former Emperor Cognat I. We discussed the history of The Ragerian Imperium, of the regions that had merged into it, as well as how the armada was the main rallying point under former Emperor Cognat I. It was compared with how much The Ragerian Imperium has evolved from the armada to what it is today. The executive government also discussed the current state of Internal Affairs with what the main challenges are, as well as our recent successes. Internal Affairs Councillor Xemt had the following to say on our successes: "RMB activity's pretty solid, membership's pretty solid, government actually is pretty full with mostly-active people which was really nice to see." In addition everyone shared their goals for the region with making sure the community is happy with new members joining and eventually replacing us being a common theme. To wrap up the event we discussed the happenings in the NPO and how we can further work to combat them with our allies.

TRI's Armada Participates in Successful Operations Our Armada successfully deployed twice this month to assist our allies and to remain committed to what our region believes in. A handful of our sailors joined The Black Hawks on their Occupation of The Western Colonies the night of the raid. It was an initial success, with the region being under raider control. After the raid, the rest of our Sailors in the Armada immediately moved in, fortifying our hold on the region. Unfortunately, the founder returned, ending the operation. Later in the month, our Armada deployed with the Anti-Pacific Coalition to fortify a region that had been taken by The Coalition. Azhukali was successfully captured with only members of The Coalition remaining and a password imposed. To commemorate the capture of the region, an in-game embassy was completed to remember this first of many successes of the Anti-Pacific Coalition.
