The Mariner Review - Issue II
A few months later, the second government came to power. The Chief and Deputy Chief Mariners remained the same, as did the judges. Rormarsukal was appointed Home Affairs Mariner and Beef-land became Foreign Affairs Mariner. Hudsonolia was the new President. Hypron and Madddiefayee became new Senators. However due to personal reasons Hudsonolia resigned and as a result The north crystal took up the position of President. Communist Asians became a Senator as well.
In the most recent election, the North Crystal rose to the position of Chief Mariner and a Communist Asians became President. Inven and Creative utopia were elected senators. Interesting government stuff happened and more will follow soon!
However this ended soon, as nine months later another flag competition was held to commemorate Halloween. Cryspus, Vippertooth33 and Golden hind participated. The winner was Golden Hind as chosen by The north crystal, with a cool skeleton trumpet design taking the crown for a week.
That’s not all the competitions. The Mariner Review is hosting a writing competition. Send an interesting story to me via discord or a telegram to this nation and it could be published in the next issue! So get writing, you have a month!
In the South Pacific, our President of the Senate Communist Asians was elected as Minister of Military Affairs, the commander of the South Pacific Special Forces, a defender military. The SPSF has collaborated with the MT Army in Antifa operations so we hope to see them soon!
Still in the South Pacific, our Chief Justice Roavin (rather controversially) became Prime Minister of the region yet again. They also enacted vexillological crimes by changing the regional flag to an eye searing red and blue combination reminiscent of the infamous raiding organisation the Intruders.
Away from the shores lies Crystalsummer in their Free Nations Region. The region recently exploded in population, with the region doubling in size due to the Drewpocalypse. The WA delegate also doubled in endorsements, with the region now 30 endorsements off the Osiris delegate. Such an achievement that maybe MT will emulate one day 😏.
I think the Drewpocalypse is good because it is a much needed injection of activity into our site. MT as a region has seen better times, and NationStates as a whole has been declining. However since the videos, MT has gained many new nations, some willing to join the MT Army Reserves and fight for our trench. Regions are enormous in size. Yes, some of them might be 12 year olds. Yes, some of them might be Nazis. But we shouldn’t generalise Drew fans or YouTube users that way.
This could be a new dawn for NationStates. Maybe more YouTubers could do videos on our site and attract people here. It could be a golden age or a time of despair. Whatever it is, MT will prosper!
