(Europeia, 05/04/2021) - The citizens of Europeia elected Kazaman and UPC to the offices of President and Vice President, respectively, in the first round of the presidential election held on April 30. Some of their mentioned goals were reviews of new player resources to be sure of their helpfulness, greater gameside presence of cultural and other major events, and the promotion of Independence in a greater scale.

The polls featured three tickets, namely Istillian/Darkslayer (featuring the then-incumbent Vice President Istillian), Lime/Monkey, and the winning ticket Kazaman/UPC. They received 28.6%, 20.6%, and 50.8% of all votes respectively, barely avoiding a runoff. There were 63 votes in total.

Kazaman thanked the voters in a statement, noting that "it was definitely a race well run," and further saying that they were "grateful to the other tickets for that experience." They then proceeded to announce cabinet nominations on the same day.

The individuals initially nominated were Klatonia for Minister of Communications, Monkey for Minister of Culture, Common-Sense Politics for Minister of Foreign Affairs, GrandfatherClock for Minister of Interior, Malashaan for Attorney General, Istillian for Grand Admiral, SkyGreen24 for Minister of Radio and Whatermelons for Minister of World Assembly Affairs. Furthermore, Le Libertie was nominated for the new position of Gameside Coordinator.

However, some nominees were later withdrawn for various reasons, and three ministerial positions then received new nominations: Lime for Minister of Communications, Peeps for Minister of Foreign Affairs and Pland Adanna for Minister of World Assembly Affairs.

The election happened amid referenda that sought to remove all incumbent Senators from office, resulting in the resignation of Senator Common-Sense Politics and the removal of Senator GraVandius after the votes on the referenda. The other Senators kept their positions. Standing is now open for two By-Elections while the remaining Senators discuss and vote on the aforementioned cabinet nominees, of which GrandfatherClock, Istillian, Le Libertie, Malashaan, and Monkey have already been unanimously confirmed.
