Fourth Quarter 2022 Report
Citizens of the Confederation, as we enter the New Year let us quickly look back on our efforts during the final leg of the previous year. This quarter was marked by great developments for both our Confederation and our citizens’ personal lives, however Covid did reveal its ugly head and derailed some of our plans. Nevertheless, we have built good foundations for 2023.
Political
Goal One: Complete: Passing the SAFE Act was a major victory for the Vladastock Confederation. This piece of legislation is a progressive, forward-thinking bill designed to generate discussion around addictive substances advertising. Once again a big thanks is owed to Xavier, Gobby, Jack, George, Sean, Joseph and Joyce for all their efforts in making this bill a reality.
Goal Two: Complete: With the release of the twelfth Fireside Chat, this administration has laid out a bold plan for this year. We hope to work alongside both our Member States and foreign Micronations to take bold action against the threats that endanger us all.
Community
Goal One: Incomplete: We were a day away from recording an episode of World Lounge when our citizens got hit by Covid and the flu. Sadly, we did not have time before the end of the year to make a recording. This will be addressed shortly.
Goal Two: Complete: The previously mentioned Fireside Chat was quite a large broadcast, but definitely worth it. Keeping our citizens informed of this administration’s plans is critical to our success.
Goal Three: Complete: By the grace of the gods above, I was allowed back in Hong Kong. So as part of the Deputy Premier’s birthday celebrations, I personally awarded him the Revolution Star. This is the first time that this medal has been issued. Xavier has been and remains a critical pillar of our Confederation and community. I am proud to call him my brother and comrade.
Recruitment
Goal One: In Progress: The Legislature of the Rainbow Republic expects to revisit the issue of joining the Confederation sometime this month. We hope they choose to join us, but no matter what the outcome of their votes are they shall remain valued friends.
Goal Two: Complete: By utilizing the social media site reddit, we managed to find a new Member State to join us, the Worker’s Republic of Pallas. This represents a major, positive development for our union. We eagerly await their official application
Conclusion
Five goals out of seven once again! A good innings I believe. Once again, I am impressed by the efforts of our citizens. Their contributions continue to far exceed expectations. At the risk of sounding lowbrow, we kicked some serious ass in 2022. Now let us take that energy and hit 2023 hard! Long live the Vladastock Confederation!
