Events:
- First and foremost, England has scene a dramatic increase in population to almost 300 nations at times! Thanks to this must go to the former recruitment minister, Adamsgrad, and his team of dedicated recruiters including Safalra, Earl of Yonkings, The North Falklands and Sea Dolphin Lovers. A dedicated Recruitment Centre, the brainchild of Safalra, has now been set up to encourage voluntary recruitment efforts.
- England's Map has continued to be improved and updated by Disposeablepuppetland, the official Cartographer of England. The map had fallen into disrepair but has been given a new lease of life through his artistic efforts.
- A new section of the forum, The Lives of Nations, has been set up to enable nations to engage in forms of role-play. This has proved popular in recent weeks with lively disputes over territorial claims in the map.
- In October, Cabinet elections took place (click the link for the results). There was a disappointing turn out but it didn't stop the Deputy Delegate position being hotly contested between Rayers II and Disposeablepuppetland.
- The Vallian Plains and England have exhanged embassies after being contact by Sanctaphrax, an ex-England nation of old. We hope that the relations between our two regions grow strong and mature with time.
- Great Britain and Ireland sent an ambassador to England and was gratefully received. However, England maintained its stance of refusing an official embassy on her forum.
- England are currently considering a treaty of alliance with The North Pacific although nothing has been finalised as of yet.
