Hello all, it is with great pleasure that I announce the formation of our government.

As your Emperor (from 2.0 into 3.0) I'll be appointing our first official 3.0 government which will operate as outlined in our two official flowcharts (which can be found in the sidebar).

For the Senate, the following 5 active, productive, and knowledgeable citizens will be appointed:

• iS4NTA

• Howler324

• BritishWanderer

• Ipslore

• Icerer

Congratulations on your positions! I will be leading our first official meeting this Friday at 8PM EST. Elections will be held in 2 months, best of luck to you in your terms!

For the Chamber of Delegates, the following 5 active, productive, and enthusiastic citizens will be appointed:

Victoria

• ChrisChrispie

• Videohead98

• Cal_Capone

Vendemmia

• Jhill1

Barning

• Monk3y

Congratulations on your positions! It is up to you guys to pick a speaker (who's only duty will be to effectively schedule and run orderly meetings). Elections will be held in 1 month, but will be held every 2 months afterwards (This is so we have alternating election cycles for optimal participation). Alternatively you may remain as appointed representatives. Best of luck to you in your terms!

Volterra City will also be appointing 2 local positions:

Chief Minister of Arboreal Affairs

• iamsoboss1

Supreme Commander of the Volterran Legion

• iS4NTA

(this is a local position as the military is headquartered in the capital, but all citizens of the empire are welcome to serve)

Congratulations on your positions! I have high hopes for all of you and look forward to getting our politics underway.
