The Renegade - November 2013
Things are still rolling strong in the RIA! It's been two months since the start of the refound and the region is growing stronger every day.
Regional Rebuild Declared Successful!
As of this issue, the RIA is officially moving out of the Rebuild phase. A complete governing body, active regional programs, and an increase in both regional population and activity has illustrated that the foundation for the region has been set successfully. The Grand Council will now focus on maintaining a stable environment before increasing efforts towards growth and expansion.
Embassies Established With Mordor and The Rejected Realms
The Office of Foreign Affairs is pleased to announce open relations with the regions of Mordor and The Rejected Realms. The opening of these embassies is the first step in a larger plan for the RIA to be more involved in the international scene. Previous iterations of the RIA never showed much interest in international experiences, and as a result we were culturally stagnant. We look forward to the experiences we'll learn from our new friends, and maybe even some of the stuff we'll teach them!
Changes in the Grand Council
Two members of the Grand Council were removed due to inactivity. Senator Black Dolphi lost his seat after 2 weeks of inactivity, and Divia, the RIA's Foreign Affairs Officer, ceased to exist due to the demands of that dreadful place known as "real life". Divia has been a member of the RIA since the onset, and her presence will be sorely missed.
Eudemonia has replaced Black Dolphi in the senate after an emergency election. Timothia, Delegate of the RIA, appointed Home of the Jacks to replaced Divia in Foreign Affairs. Home of the Jacks was approved unanimously and is working to understand the RIA's foreign affairs goals.

Forum Redesigned
For the first time in nearly 10 years, the forum finally has a new look. The gray background has been replaced by a soothing beach and existing colors have been made lighter. It's a clean and fresh look for a forum that has only ever seen silvers and gold. The design change is expected to be the trailblazer for other changes to things in the RIA. Stay tuned for more updates!

Very impressive. I have seen regions rebuilding faster, but in a time where everyone uses stamps and scripts, getting 150+ nations is quite a feat.
Yay for our mention.

I'm not thrilled that it's to the point where regions are almost forced into automation.frattastan wrote:14 Nov 2013, 00:26Very impressive. I have seen regions rebuilding faster, but in a time where everyone uses stamps and scripts, getting 150+ nations is quite a feat.

We're hitting a plateau now it looks like. We're bring them in around the same rate that they're leaving or going CTE. Now to find the answer to the age old question of retention.
