The Acta Publica

[Mr. Reactionary]

If a public statement acknowledging LT's win is necessary, because I see no reason to take those events seriously, I'll do that. But I do agree on Spark.

Too little too late. You stood back, stood by, and fiddled while Atlasia burned. I don't want your pathetic public statement when you realize you're bound to lose your "good government voters." The insurrectionists are your base.

Respectfully I would suggest you conduct your official business, such as certifying the election results on the voting booth thread, rather than be concerned with a meme that is quickly losing its staying power.

This isn't a meme, this is a movement.

A bowel movement.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I struggled over the last couple of days on whether I should just follow the storyline we're seeing before our very eyes in real life or not, particularly as part of the groundwork had been placed (without intending to) back in January. However, I feel it is not yet appropriate to do so, at the very least because the current situation is much too flexible and unpredictable to simulate, particularly as the actual scope of Russian intentions/ambitions, while possible to predict, is not yet entirely clear. Also, from a purely personal point of view, because somehow it seems in bad taste. People are welcome to disagree on that last point, it's really a feeling I just can't shake despite my usual cynicism.

Having said all this, please bear in mind the situation in game is still tense and serious. And just as important, that we still face another vital scenario in the Taiwan-China conflict which has not yet found a resolution and which the Administration is interacting with.

CLARIFICATION / FOREIGN POLICY

Ukraine

Although, as of the recent weeks, much of the tension surrounding Russia and Ukraine has indeed taken place, including mobilization of Russian troops and the apparent threat of an invasion (see: Acta Publica updates on January 16th, 2022), the escalation of the last few days, including the recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics and the acts which appear to be prelude for an invasion have not yet taken place.

This makes sense as Atlasia recognized Crimea as Russia a few years back.
