I think you're doing a fine job with national stuff, but I think your regional news needs work.  You tend to focus almost exclusively on the Mideast and the Midwest.  Have you done anything on the Northeast ever?  Isn't it still our most populous region?

There has been an article for the Northeast if I recall correctly. I am also working on the NE's regional report for tomorrow hopefully. And I am in the process of reviewing your draft, but much of it seems to rely on what you want to happen, which is not necessarily what I think would happen.

Also, not one of the regions have yet acted on my budget recommendations from a month ago. Things could better build on themselves and grow if people reacted to what the GM posts so that the GM can react to their actions. It's a self-sustaining cycle.

It just seems like no one understands the economy enough to comment.

Hell, I don't understand everything. But I did give some pretty simple lines for the regions, along the lines of "cut taxes X%" and "put money here." No legislation to that effect though. Oh well.

Side note, Sunday is another Jewish holiday (don't ask me why we have so many in one month, it's just the way it goes) so I won't be able to comment for another two-day period.

I dont feel like copying and pasting right now, but I would like to thank GM Purple State on his recent article about the Northeast.  I thought it was all done in good taste, and to be honest the Northeast was overdue on some good recognition. Of course, I am not speaking about myself, but for people like Antonio, and Lt. Governor Barnes and many others who helped me so much to bring this region back together, and active again. It takes a lot of work, and they did a terrific job

Is there any coherent reason for why Northeastern unemployment dropped .4% and Pacific unemployment spiked .3% in basically a month? Because that seems rather nonsensical to me.

Bear in mind the economic recovery is not fully in effect. First, Northeast region is doing better because their industries are different, which is pretty huge, and so their economy is healthier. In addition, Northeast businesses and investors are more confident than those in the Pacific.

Perhaps someone could help me here.  I've been doing some research into the stimulus package passed by the Senate, and can't quite get a handle on how much money the Northeast (or any other region) gets from it.

I believe the GM said that because no official declaration of the apportionment of the regional stimulus money that each region received a share proportional to their population. However, I'm not 100% certain about that.

Essentially, each region should assume that they have received exactly one-fifth of the region-specific funding from the stimulus package (I believe this amounts to $20 billion each).

I would like to request a report on the general status of Iraq and Afghanistan. Did we have troops at one time, or still do, or did we decide we would break from the US?

I think our old GM in time long gone by declared that we won the war because we had a surge or whatever.

Ok, though I'd like to see what Purple State has to say about the countries anyway.

I will do you one better Vepres (and I know HW wants this too). I will release a comprehensive foreign policy review in the next week or so.

I didn't realize it was also the GM's job to make social commentary as well as analysis, but I learn something new every day.

Whether its most prominent residents, whose political leanings tend to favor abolition of the regions, view this as a positive or negative aspect cannot be determined by this office

I'd say its most prominent residents have a strong pro-regional tendency.  bgwah, for example, is a reactionary on the issue.

Since when?

You made an error. You said the Pacific is the home of the largest party in Atlasia. The largest party in Atlasia only has like 3 members in the Pacific. You might want to look into correcting that.

I can only go by what the SoFA page has.

I didn't realize it was also the GM's job to make social commentary as well as analysis, but I learn something new every day.

I must not have noticed you complaining when I issued my report on the Southeast. You didn't comment on the "social commentary" in any other region either. And the Pacific doesn't pass (or even consider) enough legislation for me to comment on much besides you, well, lack of the consideration of legislation.

Since when?

Since its members, including the region's current senator (if I am mistaken here, I apologize to Max), came out for removal of regional Senate seats...

To be fair, abolishing regional senate seats is not the same as abolishing regions. And I also find it a little suspect that the GM is trying to change the type of governments that individual regions want to set up. If some want elected legislatures, that's awesome. If some want to do the every citizen is part of the legislature deal, that should be fine too. I'm pretty sure that's what regional rights are all about, no?
