[small]Douria, upon losing the election.[/small]
For those of us who have been hiding in a cave for the past two months, a brief update.
The Dourian Embassy, in an event that, unfortunately, many Osirans privately predicted, illegally seized control of the delegacy upon his loss and then proceeded to hand control of the Delegate nation to Gatesville and her High Queen, Nevadar, who proclaimed Osiris a protectorate of Gatesville. Naturally, native Osirans would not accept the yoke of a foreign invader, and fought back, and, with the aid of our allies, won a hard fought battle. Despite the duplicity, the backstabbing and the posing, Osiris would like to remind everyone involved that NationStates is just a game, and that insults on a personal level should never be perpetrated.
<p class="bbc_center">The Aftermath
<p class="bbc_center">
The Trenches, Osiris ââ¬â A triumphant cry rose from the trenches as Gatesville retreated from Osiris, to the joy of all those who hold marsupials, glitter and beer close to their hearts.
ââ¬ÅWe wuz havinââ¬â¢ a cuppa, ourright? And then weââ¬â¢s hearinââ¬â¢ them Gatesville boyz runninââ¬â¢ for dear ââ¬Ëell like Thrawnnsie was right behind ââ¬Ëem. And I said to my boyz, I said, ââ¬ËWouldja look at that. Weââ¬â¢re outta beer.ââ¬â¢ Thassrite, we got our delegacy back,ââ¬Â said an unidentified and inebriated man (thing?) in the regalia of the Sobek.
The Osiris (sorry, we're a bit drunk), her Pharaoh and his Atef, would like to thank our allies, our friends, and 24/7 bars for all their assistance in bringing this conflict to an end. In no particular order relative sexiness alphabetical order, they are <del>underneath Dali</del> spoilered below:

<p class="bbc_center">The Future for Osiris
<p class="bbc_center">
[small]The massive convention hall.[/small]
Osiris has had it's share of troubles. It's clear to both Osirans and her allies that change is needed - badly.
In response to the concerns raised by both allies and natives alike, the Pharaoh is pleased to announce the beginning of a new constitutional convention.
Spearheaded by our Kai Repat and Vice-Delegate, Astarial, the constitutional convention, known as Osiris 2013, has begun, and, by all accounts, is wildly successful.
Said an unidentified and mustachioed man, "This is the perfect opportunity for Osirans to cou- effect positive change within our region."
Topics include the Judiciary, Legislative, Executive, Security, and Administrative bodies of Osiris.
<p class="bbc_center">Osiris-Spiritus Partaaaaaaaaaaay
<p class="bbc_center">
[small]Everybody loves confetti.[/small]
That's right - it was an 11-a partay. According to dazed but happy eyewitnesses and participants, Osirans and Spiritans alike danced late into the night, spoke and joked with each other over Skype, made shortest stories, challenged each other to song-duels, and generally had an awesome time.
The culmination of weeks effort, led by our Vizier of Culture, Neavilos, and Wuufu, the Minister of Culture in Spiritus, this festival showcases the similarities and the closeness between our regions, and the thriving exchange of culture unique to Osiris and her allies.
<p class="bbc_center">Blue Wolf Appointed Sobek
<p class="bbc_center">
[small]Blue Wolf, in his new official portrait.[/small]
Blue Wolf, an experienced gameplayer with a deep understanding of the modern dynamic of R/D was appointed as the new Sobek of the Medjai Guard. In an exclusive ONN interview, Blue Wolf disclosed his plans and goals for the Guard, the most significant of which was his plan to aggressively pursue "new blood" for a desperately needed revitalization of the Guard. While not able to disclose any targets in his sights, he made it clear that Gatesville the focus of the Guard's future.
<p class="bbc_center">Cormac takes leave
Our Pharaoh, Cormac A Stark, has taken a leave of absence to address real-life issues. Osirians rallied around Cormac, with a statement of support issued in the Sepatarchy's name, and an announcement from Kai Repat and acting Pharaoh Detective Figs announcing that the actions surrounding Cormac's leave would not be prosecuted by court nor warrant a pardon.
Regions, moderators and players have reached out to Osiris and Cormac to offer their support - thanks.
