~~New Appointments to Start Working on our Dispatch System~~

Hey everyone, we're about a third into the term but I've got some more appointments to make. We're gonna hopefully get things rolling with fixing up our dispatches :]

Ruinenlust, could you please appoint the following nations:

• Forest Arboretum as the Forest Arboretum with powers over Appearance. This will be the new regional nation where we will get all of our important government dispatches into one account, and fix up our dispatch network in general. There will be a few people with access to this account for working on this project: Myself, Garbelia, Kannap, and Anxious and Kevin. I believe Kannap will be good for this role since they have experience in writing, and they have also been around in the region for a long time so they can be helpful with any historical stuff we may need. A&K will also be a great person to have helping out as she also has some writing experience, has been quite active recently, and is excited to help out :] Garbelia has experience in making dispatches actually look good, and they have a plan to incorporate a Discord bot so that government members may easily add things to our dispatch system. Ruinenlust will also have access to the account so that it may be passed down to future administrations.

• Kannap as the Librarian with powers over Appearance. Kannap has previously expressed interest in restarting and breathing new life into our old Forest Library which has otherwise been forgotten in the recesses of our current dispatch system :P I think this would be a lovely project to revive so I look forward to seeing what they will do with it!
  

This unfortunately still leaves one position I had hoped to fill quickly open, in the Chief Editor position. The two people I was looking at for this position have not responded back for a while and one of which I know has gone on leave from NationStates for some time, having gotten burnt out from putting too much on their plate. I may have to get the ball on that rolling myself at some point, but with that said applications remain open for anyone who would be interested in that, and if not I may or may not be looking at entrants to our Poetry Competition for ideas :3

Hiyo there! I'm doing quite well! I hope you enjoy being tagged onto the bottom of my government post since you happened to post just early enough for me to see it :P And we are not called Foresters here, but Forestians :] I don't know so much that Foresters would be an apt name since I always associated that more with lumbering ;P I think the name does also encompass conservation to an extent, but the lumbering part is still pretty big in that field.

Done! I'd like to just add that I love the idea behind the Forest Arboretum (office) and also the Forest Arboretum (nation). We are such a culturally and historically rich region, and it makes sense to have the equivalent of a national library or archives. Hopefully this nation serves as a collection point for the curation of our region's information.

Also, I hope everyone is doing well! I've been very busy the last few weeks with the endings of the semester and the school year, but I always make sure to check in a couple times a day and just see whether anything's happened or requires my attention. Still, I hope that things quiet down soon. I have a couple ideas for potential constitutional amendments I'd like to explore more over the summer.

The term is "forestian" I'm pretty sure :3
I'm doing good, I would be doing better if Europe wasn't going through some stuff
That stuff being a small, annoying, largely unsuccessful raid by like 3 people? They were banned tho which is good :3

Other than that, I'm doing pretty well
I'm gonna redo the entire lore of Greater Morvonia from scratch soon (provided I actually get on the map) so I'm thinking about what to actually put in the current lore's place if that does happen

What about you?
