Lindstrom City, Natopia - A bill is currently in the Senate awaiting a second to begin voting that will drastically cut down on Natopia's misclassified citizens problem. Natopia has 36 officially recorded citizens, only 14 of which have actually posted at least one post in the Natopian Forums. Out of those 14, only a scant 4 can be counted on to regulalry visit the Forums and participate. And, of those four, only 2 Natopian citizens have taken an Oath of Citizenship, established in Senate Law, but has not been forced on citizens. The aforementioned Senate Bill (Senate Bill 31: Loyalty Ensurance of Citizens) will force all Citizens to take an Oath of Citizenship. If they do not take the Oath, they will be reclassified as Honorary Citizens. Honorary citizens may still call themselves Citizens of the Republic of Natopia, but may not serve in a government position. The proposer of the Bill, Grand Chancellor Shepard, hopes this will shake people into participation. Many citizens hold titles and positions of considerable power, and yet have not posted to the Forums in months. This Bill will essentially take away from them what they do not deserve anymore.

This Bill could potentially shrink Natopia to a mere two citizens, thus leaving most of the Imperial government useless, as it is too large to govern a mere two people. The government will continue to operate, with the intentional back up plan of Chancellorial Decrees to cover day to day adminitrative legislation. The Grand Chancellor sees this as "not very different that what we have now." The Grand Chancellor then began to weep for his wounded nation.

Lavisitya, Lavalon - Lavalon recieved a new Antican Ambassador with mixed feelings today. Lt. General MeanBean has been assigned to Lavalon and is hoping to make amends with recently expatriated Lavalonian, Matthew Vasroixe. MeanBean's introduction shocked some Lavalonians with the first usage of the word "fuck" in the Lavalon Forums. A user posting as "the Empire of Zonia" requested that the President request a replacement Ambassador.
