Embassy of Apolytonia

nope as i believe.

 

[Chieftess]

Yes, we've had 2. One was to become a Republic, and more recently, a Democracy. It's a form of government were people get to decide what to do.

ct: i think he meant citizen revolt (forum), not in game revolt ;-)

Heh, well, at first our Supreme Military Commander wanted a full-force revolution with the removal of ALL of our ministers and government officials (a plan which doesn't make much sense as elections are less than two weeks away), but I think at this point many agree that we just need REFORM, as in a revamped CoL and a new turnchat/thread system. Revolutions on online forums aren't really plausible, IMO; some people wouldn't acknowledge it, play the game on their own, and then we'd have a few different governments playing entirely different games. The system would fall apart.

what if the citizens would just take the save and play it for themselves without the officials? this would be a kind of revolution (well, they should get themselves organized so only 1 plays according to polls). the officials could then do what they want... the only problem would be to tell which save is the real apolytonia and which one not ;-) as the citizens played out the game i would propose the one of the citizens as the real one and the official one as the fake one...
[just another mad idea]

i think you are right on the reform-point. we also had too many "undemocratic" rules. i already noticed during my visits that even less in game polls were held then here (and we thought our game was not democratic enough).

Our spaceship nears completion! I must get to Apoytonia to lay in a supply of bananas. I have offered them as a consolation prize to all entrants in the Phoenatican history quiz. Can you guys put little blue stickers on the bananas that say *Apolytonia*? Oh, and perhaps a warning the smoking the peels is dangerous to one's health.

I will bring spices and incense to trade for the bananas.

Hail, Phoenatic Citizens!

I am MrWhereItsAt, soon to be President of your neighbours and friends, the people of the grand civilization of Apolytonia (that is, unless the Banana beats me in the polls, as I run unopposed). I believe a number of you are familiar with UnOrthOdOx, my running mate (soon-to-be Vice President).

I call on you now as a friendly mission of introduction. I fear I am not up to date with the achievements of your ancient and mighty nation, but I will attempt to make Presidential visits to our embassy here from time to time.

The upcoming term will be full of challenge - several among the soon-to-be Ministers (including me) will be new to Government at this advanced level (I have been President, SMC and Vice President of the Civ2 game at Apolyton). Furthermore, the people are crying out for change in how we govern and run the Empire, and this will be a difficult and labour intensive process, to which end discussion about the formation of a new Constitutional Committee has commenced.

We are nearly prepared for a land redistribution dispute with France (top secret, I trust none shall leak such information to the French? ), using a large contingent of men-at-arms equipped with Iron weapons. It is believed this new material shall be our key to victory, as the Roman Empire, the only other nation seen to have used it, has enjoyed some dominance over its neighbours since the adoption of its use.

Elections shall run until the 16th of our month (currently it is the 13th in the Southern part - where I am from a small place named New Zealand - the 12th in Northern lands, where the majority of our active citizens originate), upon which the final preparations for the mission to France shall be made.

I must leave you now, for I have much to do during this election. I hope to return and keep you posted after the election, whatever the outcome.

TTFN,
MrWIA.

Congrats on your election. I think I speak for all of Phoenatica when I wish you good luck during your term.

I'd just like to inform all visitors to the Embassy that I will be taking a leave of absence starting this Tuesday, August 20th, for about four months. But I think I've fulfilled my purpose here: I got the Embassy up and running, and I provided a place for Apolytonian visitors to come and chat with their Phoenatican neighbors. If anyone feels that an Ambassador is necessary, feel free to contact our future Foreign Affairs Minister, Togas (though I don't think an official Ambassador is required any longer).
For up to date information on Apolytonian affairs, simply read the Jungle Gazette and browse our forum.
It's been great visiting and helping to bring our two cultures together. I'll be back before the end of the year.
And congratulations on your victory!

EDIT: I changed the first post to show the government positions for Term 3 (which began on the 17th). Just don't expect it to be up to date anytime after mid-September.
