Update
DaveShack has added a new twist to the DG VII elections. He is a nominee for two positions, the Public defender and the Exptriate Governer. He has said:
A very interesting move. Last term there were very few elections occured (of 13 positions only 4 were actually voted upon. This does not count the DP Pool).
Nobody was asked to run for Minister of Foreign Affairs but declined in favor of being the Governer of City 3.
mhcarver has declined the role of Public Defender, the office which he held last term.
RegentMan, our current Expatriate Governer, has marked himself undecided after a self nomination.
Octavian X is going for unother shot (not of alcohol) for President. The race remains uncontested; Ravensfire has declined a nomination and Chieftess and Furiey have not replied.
Thats all on the election update,

Shocking News!
Writing Lost!
The Foreign powers have obtained the secrets of Writing which our scholars were researching.... slowly. Every nation but the German Reich has obtained the knowledge. Should we continue to Philosophy? Or go to Literature? We would not be in this position if the government had put more funding in the science department, thats what I think. The disscussion on what to do next is located Here
War in the World!
War has been declared between the French Empire and the German Reich. The Reich is located to the far east of Fanatikos while the French Empire is in the North. We have very little knowledge of ethier nations city locations or military power. Fanatikos, Rome and the newly found Persian Empire under the control of Shah Xerxes, have declared their neutrality for the time being. We do not know where the front lines are located. All we know is that war is between the Reich and Empire has begun. We cannot report loss of cities because we don't know where they are. We do not even know the cause of the war.
The Stables
The Augean Stables has been founded on the famous "Pink Dot." The current Governer is greekguy, but that may change next term. The surrounding lands may also become a battleground for the marauding german and French forces.
Election Update
Civlord, Assistant Manager to The Informant is running for Governer of Olympus. Civman2004 has withdrawn from the election, leaving the position uncontested against Civlord.

A Term in Review
Hello everyone. Today is Saturday. I missed out on last Saturdays edition but I won't today. being the last Saturday before the end of the term, I will use today as a time to post thoughts about the entire term that has just gone by so quickly.
First I'd like to commend our elected officials. They have done a great job in leading Fanatikos into the World. Some of them are staying for this next term, some are swiching positions and some are leaving. But those that are leaving, their places will be filled with new faces. New faces that could help in the betterment of Fanatikos or they could lead us to utter destruction.
There are three cities in Fanatikos already. Our wonderful capital Olympus, her sister city, Civatonia and the great northern Augean Stables. Their locations have been chosen by the will of the Assembly and they have gone into great locations. Sadly there is trouble in the air. Three great events have already shaken the Fanatik nation.
First was the Phoenicians. The backwards people had declared was on our great nation in an effort to destroy it. We would not yield however and launched the Western Campaign. 2nd Infantry Battalion "Ares" was sent to rid the world of the Phoenician scum. The campaign was a failure however, and of the one thousand soldiers sent in the Ares Battalion only fifty-three returned. They were shattered people and of those fifty-three, six more died later of trauma, diesease or wounds. It is a horrible thing to happen to Fanatikos. It could not have been prevented.
Secondly Civatonia has recently been ransacked by barbarians. The Chieftess Barracks which was under construction has burned to the ground and they stole some of our gold. This artocity could have been stopped! Our great Hoplites, our elite spear defenders, should have been trained instead of the building the Barracks. The Hoplite Battalion would have not been as trained but it would have stemmed the Barbarian advance into Civatonia. This was a blunder by the government which has left Civatonia, now with no defenders or Barracks and the Barbarians have now gold to fund their terror organization. It was a horrible thing that happened to Civatonia, one that could have been prevented.
Thirdly the secrets of Writing, which our scholars had thought would bring us fame and fortune, has been discovered by every foreign nation save the German Reich. This was a massive shock to Fanatiks all around. Our chances for intelligence has been, almost, ultimately crushed. If our government officials had been more willing to put more funding into science we would be at the top of the intelligence train. But we went at the most minimum possible. It has been a near fatal decision. But hope is still here. The newly found Persian Empire has not obtained the secrets of Iron Working. The Germans have but they have not found Writing. Our cunning leaders have proposed a massive technology exchange. Writing to Germany for Iron Working, Iron Working to Persia for the Wheel + Gold and finally Gold to France for Warrior Code. The strategy may pay off. But we wouldn't be reduced to this should more money had been poured into Science.
The warring nations of Germany and France are now in a duel for power. Fanatikos, Rome and Persia are neutral. Next term we must act. France is a Commercial and Industrial power while the Reich is a Military power. Our heirarchy must side (diplomaticly) with the French. I propose that after the technology trade we sever relations with Germany. We should allow the French to pass troops through Fanatik territory. We should (if possible) ask any German soldiers to leave. We are not prepared to go to war with the Germans so we cannot order them to leave. I propose a pro-French attitude. The Germans are in an expansionist mood and we cannot allow them to achieve thier goals. We should give Diplomatic aid to the French. We do not want a powerful expansionist Germany streching from the East to the West, but a weak Germany huddled in the East.
This term has been a good start but there have been blunders. They are not fatal. But they can be if we do not agree as a whole. The only hting we have on the enemies is Organization and Co-Operation. We have to implement it.

Great article Icmancin!
I still cry at night for hours on end, mourning the loss of our great warriors of Ares. May the gods have mercy on their souls, and may they enjoy an eternity within the domain of Hades.

Yes, they are very aggressive, Ic. But now we are very weak, and we need to be in good relations with them until everyone of our cities has a hoplite defending it. A war with them won't be easy, but it will be necessary. The pro-french atitude, in the future, can be a great strategy, but for now it is a bit premature.

I don't mean to annoy Germany, but we should just give the French a covert advantage thats all. No declarations of war or anyhting, just letting the French use Fanatikos as a base. If Germany wants to talk lets just deny some of them, thats all.
