<strong class='bbc'>Quiet Time in Lazarus</strong>
Well, we seem to have once again found ourselves in a bit of a lull. It's not completely quiet, but activity levels have noticeably declined from the last month or so. It probably doesn't help that our Activity Commissioner is currently away in Real Life on a fun little excursion to India.
<strong class='bbc'>Puppet Contest</strong>
In an effort to get the recruiters who pass through our region depositing their adspam to be a bit more chatty, Drop Your Pants proposed a contest. The region with the best ad for a given week would gain a puppet from one of the Lazarus residents for their region. So far, no ads have been deemed worthy enough to qualify.
<strong class='bbc'>Legislation</strong>
The Emerald Council is currently voting on a couple of Election Amendments that will close the loopholes exposed during our last election. No longer will non-Council members be allowed to run for positions, and applications for Council membership will not be considered during an election period.
The Council has also voted on and approved a revised version of our treaty with The Rejected Realms. We look forward to many more years of close relations with our sister "Sinker" region.
<strong class='bbc'>Foreign Relations</strong>
A number of embassies were closed at the end of the month for inactivity of at least three months. But we have also re-opened embassies for the regions of Gay and United Kingdom, while opening new embassies for Jethnea, The Dominion, and The Walbard Union.
And that's our quick little update for May!
