Osiris and The Rejected Realms are currently undergoing elections for the delegacy. The cause for both elections has been the reigning delegate resigning. Frattastan, the delegate of The Rejected Realms was the second longest serving delegate in all of the Game Created Regions second only to Krulltopia.
Osiris
Following what many called an inactive term, Lord Ravenclaw resigned the delegacy just prior to when challenges for the delegacy would have been allowed. Lord Ravenclaw resigned upon finding out that there was a strong feeling of discontent with the activity of the government, as well he retired from NationStates.
The election has pitted Joshua Bluteisen against Severisen. Joshua, who was Lord Ravenclaws Vice Delegate has been in control of the delegacy and is seen as the political continuation of Lord Ravenclaw who has been backing him for the position. Meanwhile, Severisen also holds political sway as he is the current leader of the Osiris army and has presented himself as a fresh spark who can boost activity.
This election is very important for Osiris, in particular to demonstrate that the region can change leadership without the threats of coups or military action. Prior to the Osiris Fraternal Order there would often be such challenges to the system when people did not get their way. It is vital that everyone win or lose respect the results and the system. It will go a long way in helping prove that Osiris has changed permanently.
The current vote is at 7- 4 for Severisen in the regions legislature.
The Rejected Realms
In the Rejected Realms, Unibot has emerged as a surprise leader to become the next delegate of the Rejected Realms. Despite his previous rocky history with the region, he has even gained the support of influential members of The Rejected Realms such as Sedge. Also running is the root admin Crazy Girl. The current speaker of the Assembly in The Rejected Realms; thechurchofsatan tried to run but members of the Rejected Realms who wanted to see him run forgot to second his nomination before the deadline.
The election has seen Crazy Girl running on a more feel good campaign while Unibot has been running on a campaign to increase activity and recruitment. As well, Unibot has stated his intentions to focus his Foreign Affairs efforts on Lazarus. Unibot is the more controversial choice, as he has been a polarizing figure in the feeders and sinkers.
Unibot being elected to the delegacy should provide more activity to The Rejected Realms which has been one of the more inactive Game Created Regions. As well, it could also shake up the current GCR political scene given that Unibot recently left The East Pacific amid multiple charges and has been banned from Balder. If Unibot is elected it should be interesting to see what would happen to the status quo.
Currently the vote is 8-5 in favour of Unibot.
