State Gazette: A Week in War Era Belgium #2
Welcome to another edition of the Belgian State Gazette, your weekly recap of the chaos, success, and questionable decisions that make our country the most entertaining place in War Era!
Monday:
https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068 made https://app.warera.io/user/6914ff45cdf57cd0c13144f8 president again! What a chaos last week, Belgium without a president! Our good friend https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068made sure we didn't have to go through the hassle of going to the voting booth again and appointed the winner of the elections back in his role of president.
Our new president got straight to work. Not only did he install a new government, the ministers now get help from very capable slaves cabinet employees! Is this going to improve our government, or is it just a way for our president lay back in his chair and delegate all the work? Time will tell!
I present to you, the government Louis Georges Boulanger I:

Tuesday:
Another week of alliances snapping? No worries, irrelevant alliances are removed as they cost our country a lot of money. We remain friends with our allies, even if this is not always visible in-game!
The newly installed departments from the government have immediately started to do their work, a quick overview:
Advice on stocking up gear & sustainable war builds
Reorganizing Discord
New recruitment campaigns
Flipping the market
After the presidential campaign follows the congress elections, this day marked the start where candidates could register themself. Who will be voting our laws for the upcoming month? Who will be re-elected, will we have new congress members and who will lose his seat at the table? Stay tuned for the results!
Today we mark a new milestone for our country, an active population of 350 players!
Wednesday:
Wednesday started with the game being down, and that on congress election day! At last the voting booths opened, for the second time in two weeks, the Belgians queued patiently waiting at their local school, town hall or sports hall to vote. 38 candidates for 20 seats. Keep reading for the results! Of the 'old' congress, 6 members did not put themselves up for re-election, we thank them for their work of the last month!
In other news, our Dutch neighbors broke the alliance with our country. Just to save money off course, we know how they are.
Thursday:
It was early in the morning when the results came in, a new Belgian congress is elected. Congratulations and good luck to all 20 congress members. And to the citizens that missed their seat in congress, keep your head up, keep working hard, and try again next month! Some stats & facts:
Babu has the most experience in congress, with 5 elections
8 members of the 'old' congress were re-elected
Only one member of the previous congress did not get re-elected
12 members were not in the previous congress, for 10 of these, it's their very first time
176 citizens voted (Belgiums active population is around 350)
https://app.warera.io/party/698f5265ac74a73e88d83ff4 (the party of the president) is with 4 seats the largest represented party
https://app.warera.io/party/69d66c1044093573e056dc6f and https://app.warera.io/party/69cff2e87c951c1d66a0708f both have 1 seat and are therefor the smallest parties in congress
I was a bit shocked to see that the former president of Sweden made it into Belgian congress! I would have asked him for a reaction, but he seems to be muted for his behavior.
Also, if you are wondering how broke our country really is since our last war:
The Department of Education created a commander training, this will be available for members over level 15 that are part of the 14th Medical Battalion.
Friday:
The new congress is definitely keeping their promises, laws are being voted at the speed of light! Keep it up guys!
Meanwhile, the Department of Domestic Affairs is reporting that the entire Discord will be reworked. I sure hope we get some more channels!
For over two months, Belgium and The Netherlands had shared occupancy of the regions of the https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79e and https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7fe. This day, https://app.warera.io/battle/69fd64531a318abce5c18eeb marks an end of that era. The citizens across the channel however remain deeply grateful for the gastronomy of the Low Countries. Until we meet again lads!
Saturday:
Saturday was a quiet day, were the Belgians hungover from Friday night? Who knows, but the government reports that the departments are working are very hard behind the scenes for their ministers.
Our Minister of Defense came with a nice plan for our MUs to have more consistent damage output, go check it out in Discord if you haven't yet!
Sunday:
Most of Belgium celebrates mothers day today, so most of the Belgians were stuck in line at the flower shop, or were spending time with their mothers.
Our president however is on vacation, so naturally without a leader our government is relaxing a bit. He did send us a postcard:
That was last week in War Era Belgium, curious to know what next week will bring?
