(From left to right: Milograd, Kazmr)[/center] [center] [/center] Perhaps the biggest event of the month was the surprise decision by Chairman Milograd to step down from power, thus concluding a 4-month reign as Chairman.  On March 5th, Milograd posted the following announcement in the Forbidden City:  Quote Quote:So, as I'm sure you're all aware, Chairman elections and the delegacy transition are now underway. A few people have asked me why I'm stepping down, and I'm happy to clarify. I'll do it as briefly and succinctly as I did in my first announcement as Chairman, over a hundred and twenty days ago.  I think I've done good work and I'm proud of the work I've done. Under the guidance of Francoism, our community has made historic strides that defied all expectations and we're the most active sinker around right now -- for ten years before, we were known for being a chronically inactive pool. To have made such a turnaround so quickly is an incredible feat. We did that. We should be proud of that.  I'm also proud that we stand up for founderless regions and I'm proud that we do it better than most. And I'm proud of the work that everyone here has done to make it possible -- from people like Kaz, Funk, Pergamon, DYP, Hobbes and Harm, who have been here since the beginning, to people like Horse, Bodo, Ik, Fantome, and Llamas. This community has grown and the credit for that success is due to the people who have put work into making it happen, and that, in essence, is the Party.  With all that work done, I think it's time for me to let someone else try their hand at being delegate. The delegacy -- our delegacy -- isn't suited for the sort of long dynasties that once condemned us to the very inactivity that I've worked to eliminate. We need to be dynamic in our leadership but constant in our success, cause ,and beliefs. It's sort of how like during a baton race the lead will run as far as he can until he is ready to pass the baton to another teammate of his, who can keep their team competitive in the race. This transition is not as much the end of my delegacy as it is the continuation of our race to a better Lazarus.  It's been a please, and honor, and a great opportunity to serve as the Chairman of the PRL. I thank you all for your roles in making this time as much of a success as it has been. I'm looking forward to serving Lazarus in a different capacity once the transition process is completed. [center] [/center] A co-founder of the PRL, Milograd was appointed to serve as Chairman by Harmoneia. During his time as Chairman, the PRL achieved all-time regional records for activity, witnessed much cultural success, such as the revitalization of regional RP and the creation of cult, created an internationally powerful military, the Lazarene Liberation Army, revived the Lazarene Gazette, and fought off several invasion attempts by imperialists. A new bar for the region's potential was set and the status quo of Lazarus being a chronically inactive region was finally proven false. His Chairmanship featured a emphasis on representing the people with the efficiency of a dictatorship, the creation of a strong bureaucracy, and constant pushes to create a thriving regional environment.  But with change must come, well, change. Immediately after announcing his intent to resign, a snap election occurred amongst citizens of the region and Governor Kazmr -- the previous winner of the Vice-Chairman election and an endorsee -- won the delegacy versus Hobbes and Stujenske. He opened with the following statement:  Quote:Well, that was certainly fast! But I suppose that's the nature of the PRL. Citizens are enthusiastic about Chairman Kazmr's delegacy and thus far the Chairman has succeeded in filling the big shoes left behind by Milograd. The PRL wishes him the best and asks for the same wishes from the interregional community.  [center][/center] [center]Submarine Exterior Cleaning Squad prepares the LLA's finest submarines.[/center]  LLA Leads Major Liberations, Participates in Defenses Throughout Month  There is no slowing down the Lazarene Liberation Army, which is enjoying its fifth month of daily activity,  The LLA lead many defenses and liberations this month, with Communist Beach and Assassins serving as particular highlights. Both missions -- the former being significant because of its socialist community, and the latter being significant because it was lead by the Brotherhood of Malice -- were triggered by Milograd. Both triggers were on the dot and made successful liberations of the two regions possible, and the strong update showing of LLA troops in both cases also helped.  Otherwise, the LLA succeeded in missions in Halo, Western Assembly, Punahou, Christmas, The United Federation of Planets, Kingdom of Britain, United Nations Defense Force, and Coalition of Christian Communities, Mayville, Dragostea Din Tei, TDWU, BlueBerets, Northern P4, and HSA.  [center][/center] [center]Hobbesistan training one of his new troops to cross the rivers of Fishmongolia. Skillful and precise, his technique is as effective as it is magnificent.[/center]  DYP Steps Down as General; Hobbes Replaces Him  This month has seen the sad departure of Drop Your Pants (better known as DYP) from the Lazarene Liberation army, from General of the LLA. DYP, serving from the creation of the LLA as general, resigned effectively on March 3rd in the monthly promotions of LLA troopers. Not citing the reasons for his resignation as General, he will be sorely missed. Not exactly known for his time spent on the IRC (heck, we even made a game of seeing how fast he came on and came off  ), his experience and skill as a defender will sorely missed at update, when he came  .The search for a new general did not take long, as within a day Hobbes was selected as the new General of the LLA [background=#262626]. [/background]As of now, Hobbes has begun to change the structure of the LLA (super sekret stuff to come), and has begun to lead the LLA at update. Not much is known of Hobbes plan after this, but as the news comes in, we will report it to you, regardless of how much satire we put into it. My congratulations to Hobbes to his appointment, and my thanks to DYP to his service to the LLA. May this open up a new chapter in the LLA, even greater than the last!  [center][/center] [center]Lazarus at the Defender Awards.[/center]  LLA Wins Defender Award for Best New Organization, Officers Win Awards  The LLA won the vote for best new defender organization for 2014 by a landslide. It was ... nice.  Officer Horse won the Sir Lans Award, and Campinia won the Dipes Award. Milograd was unofficially awarded the title of "Player Hater of the Year" for his work on the award images.  PRL Holds Cultural Exchange with The North Pacific  After a fair amount of planning by the Cultural Cadre and the Cultural Ministry of TNP, the PRL had the pleasure of kicking off its cultural exchange with TNP throughout the course of two weeks. A tournament was held between TNP and Lazarus to see who could win the most of the event's "trophy events", including spam games and trivia, and the PRL ultimately came out on top. However, the reward -- that is, to decide Kazmr's flag -- was offered to TNP and we are still awaiting their choice on what flag and pretitle he should use. Hopefully it won't be too embarrassing!  [center] [/center] Cadre for the Beautification of Society Names the Provinces  The PRL has operated with a provincial system since its inception. The names have always been uninteresting and bland. But no longer!  New names have been proposed for forums throughout the PRL's off-site board, and thus far the following proposals have been considered for provinces or forums:
 [center][/center] [center]Why not?[/center] Bruteland Replaces Auralia as GA Marshal  In the aftermath of the attempted Commendation of Auralia, Auralia officially made note to the People's Republic that he will tender his resignation on March 2, 2014. As GA Marshall, he was in charge of the People's Republic influencing the WA's General Assembly proposals and resolutions that were up for vote as well as giving his opinions on how Lazarus should vote on specific resolutions in the General Assembly. He had served since the early days of the People's Republic. He had a great run here as GA Marshall and we wish him best of luck. Codger Bruteland officially replaces Auralia in overseeing GA resolutions and proposals for Lazarus.  Informational Activity in the PRL  The Informational District created distributed the following updates this month:
State Security Force Created  Prior to his abdication, former Chairman Milograd formed the Committee for Public Safety, an advisory council, and the State Security Force. The State Security Force is an independent branch of the Judicial District and deals with the report of rule violations. To do so, there are three kinds of agents.The first kind are RMB Patrol Officers, who control the Regional Message Board and need to report any violations. IRC Officers, the second kind of agents, moderate the IRC Chat of Lazarus. And finally State Security Officers are meant to report any internal threats, such as planned coups. Comrade Leningrad Union, who previously gained experience as soldier of the LLA, has been awarded first Chief of the State Security Force after Milograd expressed confidence in his skills, but Fantome replace him some days later.  We are sure the newly formed institution will do its best to help Lazarus and its community prosper.  New Solidarity Policy, New Embassies  Chairman Milograd announced this month that the PRL will permit both socialist and communist regions gain embassies with Lazarus regardless of existing size requirements and/or the existence of forum relations.  The PRL also had the pleasure of opening embassies with 10000 Islands, The Red Fleet, Liberty Riders International, United Communist States, and The Allied Communist Union this month.  Appointments and Elections  Lazarus' government underwent a handful of significant personnel changes this month.
