The legislators voted to trash the ABS-CBN franchise renewal appeal. So, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm honestly disappointed about it at the moment. Even if the reasons behind the declination of the franchise renewal turn out to be true, I don't really think we needed to that right now. ABS-CBN is the biggest broadcasting company, so I think it's quite unfortunate since not everyone would have access to other channels. But if a reasonable explanation comes out, I might change my mind on this.

Anyway, hello everyone! I'm guessing this is where most Filipinos on NationStates hang out?

Heyo friends of Philippines!

The Free Nations Region is hosting a debate session on Saturday, August 1st at 19:00 UTC, and we want YOU to come on over to our discord and participate in some lively discussion. But, first things first, we need to decide what we will be debating.

In this dispatch, I have outlined in detail eight questions. These questions are presented in four groups of two, each of which contains questions related to each other. In the following poll, you can decide which two questions we will be answering on Saturday:

Mabuhay! My warm congratulations goes to Lanaograd for winning the post of Head of Public Affairs at the URA. It was said to be a close vote until the last minute, but we made it. Here is to the continuous raising of the international profile of the Philippines.

Let us support the activities and programs our Regional Affairs Minister will spearhead at the alliance. Maraming salamat.

Let this be an official statement that the only official is the one here in NationStates. I came up with the concept of Ariusgrad in 2009. This is my original concept. I do not get it why others want to use this for their own purposes. They could have used better sounding names like, what, Disneyland.

Also reiterating this. A quick online search showed other people using my nation name for their own purposes without my consent. In case you see another Ariusgrad outside NationStates, kindly report. The only one is in this platform. Thank you for your cooperation.

The latest stats are in and our regional economy grew 10.7% for July. This is a great turnaround from our monthly slump the last time. Let us survive and thrive in this global crisis. Basta Pilipinas, malakas!

We have two new promotions in the Philippine Defense Force (PDF). Congratulations Vesilen Island and The Luzvimindan Islands.

If you want to join this military organization aimed to protect the Philippines, first step is to join the World Assembly.

Pursuant to Section 1 Article 8 and Section 3 Articles 2-3 of the 2020 Regional Constitution, the Philippines formed its first ever military organization, the Philippine Defense Force (PDF), as a pillar to uphold regional integrity and sovereignty.

This follows the concept of a force in being, initially proposed as 20% of total membership, has been forwarded by Ariusgrad for years as an effective deterrent for regional security and potential avenue of foreign assistance for regional allies. The requirement to participate as member of this force is quite simple - join the World Assembly.

As of May 8, 2020, the organizational structure of the defense force is created accordingly based on an established set of criteria, and is presented here as follows:

The Delegate (President) shall be designated as Commander-in-Chief of all forces, while the Security Officer (Defense Minister) as the Chief of Staff of the Philippine Defense Force.

Thank you for the overwhelming vote of confidence, Delegate and President Ariusgrad, and my fellow members in the Philippines. Thank you also to our alliance members who saw my potential to lead this new office. You have empowered my resolve.

As the first official Head of Public Affairs of the URA, I pledge to make the next six months a fulfilling one for all the alliance members. Indeed, it was a close fight, but now we move forward into the future. The alliance communications arm is vast, composed of 33 regions with their own publications and connected with the global media outlet NationStates Today. I am committed to strengthen this and more. Soon, we may be looking at a regular publication for the Philippines as well.

But I hope I will be up to the task under the leadership of our founder Ellenburg, alliance president Suvmia, alliance vice president Honeydewistania, and my fellow members in the alliance cabinet. Please pray for me and my mandate to all of you.

Your RAM Lanao, now your HoPA Lanao, too. Mapiya, salamat!

July Elections

Scheduled elections took place in July for the positions of Senator for Himes West (roleplay) and Senator for Lyonnesse East (houses).

Wille-Harlia of TCP defeated Krystalveil of WIP with 40 votes to 20 to become Senator of Himes West.

Free Las Pinas (MSPP), Thedairos (TCP), and Haivon (WIP) all entered the first race for Lyonnesse East with the conclusion resulting in a runoff between Thedairos and Free Las Pinas as no candidate reached a 50% majority of votes. The ensuing run-off resulted in a tie that then triggered a vote by the Council of Nine to select the new senator, all of this culminating to the election of Thedairos as Senator of Lyonnesse East.

XKI thanks Marxist germany and The United Royal Islands of Euramathania for their previous service. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the other candidates.

New Government Appointments

~ July saw the transition of the Culture Office over to now Cultural Officer Grea Kriopia after HumanSanity's resignation following the end of the XKI Summer Olympics.
~ HumanSanity didn't go far though, as he was appointed by Chief Executive Markanite to serve as the first President of the XKI Cards Co-op.
~ As the Co-op President, HumanSanity gained Free Las Pinas and HN67 as Cards Co-op administrators to help oversee the new venture.
~ Free Las Pinas was also brought on as Casino Shift Manager with last month's Casino revitalization and as Deputy Senator for Lyonesse East following the election of Thedairos
~ Senator Grea Kriopia brought on Wischland as Deputy for Blue Canaria North to aid in the creation of this report.
~ Delegate Kuriko hired Ignis cinere onto the TIBOE team as an official endorser to help boost and maintain endorsements.
~ The evergrowing FA team saw HumanSanity made emissary to Founderless.
~ Our Minister of Education The tasmanian islands sought a new Deputy after the election of Wille-Harlia and hired Pacifical.
~ Senator Wille-Harlia also hired Central Russia and Margaux as Deputies for Himes West.

Around the Islands

~ Wille-Harlia was named LinkRookie of the Quarter for his exceptional work as a TITO member, Recruiter, and Deputy Minister of Education, among other positions, as well as his outstanding contributions to the forum and A Taco Archipelago's RMB. Congratulations Wille-Harlia!
~ Islanders enjoyed a multitude of potato-based dishes alongside residents of Spiritus, at a LinkPotato Potluck celebration of Kuriko and The Salaxans' achievements as WA Secretary-General and Vice Secretary-General. All participants are several potato recipes richer, with a few even being lucky enough to receive Kuriko and The Salaxalans trading cards.
~ The XKI Card Co-op is making good progress under the guidance of Cards Co-op President HumanSanity, with plans for a transfer card-sharing system and a mentorship program. The hard work of Co-op members has already facilitated the card rewards for several of this month's events.
~ July's LinkFeatured Nation was Free Las Pinas, whose exceptionally high activity in XKI, alongside their work as an Ambassador, TITO member, and Recruiter makes them more than deserving of this honor. Keep up the good work!
~ Cultural Officer Grea Kriopia gave Islanders a chance to express what real-world sights reminded them of NationStates in a LinkPhotography Competition. Congratulations to Wischland for her 1st place Miniatur Wunderland photo, Wille-Harlia for his tasty 2nd place S'more photo, and Eastern New England for their charming Honorable Mention coastal photo.
~At the end of the month, Hakketomat announced XKI's first-ever LinkTacoVision! Inspired by Eurovision, over a dozen eager nations have already submitted songs. Voting begins early August, so be on the look-out for the competition's results in next month's report.

XKI Game-Side

A July regional poll by Jabberwocky forced Islanders to pick a superpower, but clearly all of the disastrous time travel movie plots did not deter many.

July held some contentious topics but here are some more lighthearted posts from this month...

Meet A Nation Interview

This month's edition features an interview with one of the newest elected Senators in XKI, Wille-Harlia, on their time in XKI and future plans for roleplay in the region. Aside from their senate seat, WH also serves as an Emissary, Cultural Office Assistant, Deputy Cartographer, and TITO Member.

GK: Let's start with some of your time here. Being a more recent addition to the Islands, could you talk a bit about what attracted you to XKI?

WH: First, the recruitment telegram I received seemed the most sincere of all of them, and offered the most things. Once I got to XKI, the warm welcome I received was amazing, and no question was stupid. The same thing on the forum and the Discord. Then, when I got into some jobs where I could show my thanks, I knew I would stay for good.

GK: Since you mentioned you liked the variety of things XKI offered, have you developed any favorite activities/hobbies in your time here?

WH: There are some hobbies I have here in XKI. One is RPing in ATA with all the other regular ATAers. One hobby I used to have was refreshing to the Job Opportunities page every day for new jobs I’d be interested in. But I don’t really do that anymore now as I have enough jobs. I will also occasionally Debate in the politics section of the Discord, and I also play in the XKI Minecraft server.

GK: Speaking of hard work, you recently faced your first ever election in XKI, how do you feel now looking back at it?

WH: I was recently elected the Himes West Senator, in charge of RP. Looking back on that campaign, I think I did everything right, but I didn’t even use half of my paid advertisements. I think that once I took an early 15 vote lead, I had it won, but there was still good competition from Krystalveil, as we had very similar platforms.

GK: Could you outline some of your goals for the future of RP in XKI?

WH: I have two goals for XKI RP. The first is to improve the quality of RP in the XKI RP region of A Taco Archipelago. The second is to revive the forum and Discord RP.

GK: Big goals! Are there any future projects you can tease our readers about in regards to RP?

WH: On the Discord, I can tease an Insanity RP event, on the forum, a medieval and a WW3 event, and in ATA, a whole plethora of events that will make up an RP event with a common enemy for all.

GK: Very interesting, what are you most excited for in the future of RP?

WH: I am most excited to see the results of my attempts!

GK: For sure. Lastly, what do you think the biggest challenge will be in regards to your work in RP?

WH: This a challenge that will take thinking to overcome: How to get the game side RPers on the forum and Discord.

Until next month, your XKI Update Staff is signing off - Grea Kriopia and Wischland
