My aversion to the recent referendum to recall the Senate is well-known to those who kept up with the debate- or lack there of. My concerns now are the far-reaching consequences of this successful recall: the complacency of a region, the lack of any real dedication by the everyman, and those at the top all-too-susceptible to the notorious burnout.
Take a second and look around. Who is recruiting? 4 or 5 citizens. Writing the update? These faces look familiar. Raiding? I see a pattern. It's the same story across the region. The same few citizens are responsible for the upkeep of each aspect of our Republic. Europeia cannot go on like this. Those Senators who were active and dedicated have been alienated. The referendum is a huge "f*** you" to the Senators who have truly given their all to the position, but were denied the opportunity to turn things around. At the time the recall was voted on, only one Senator could be labeled inactive, yet that was the justification for the recall of the entire group. If you were an active Senator, would you run again after the entire region gave you the finger? I certainly wouldn't, nor do I blame those who choose not to. Those who proposed and supported the recall aught to be stepping up to fill those seats, otherwise, the weight of yet another inactive and incompetent Senate is on their heads.
This recall signals a frightening trend in the rest of Europeia, that the majority of citizens who enjoy this region and call it home no longer feel obligated to do any significant work on its behalf. I had great hopes for this term. We were on the climb upward, and doing well. Yet, even with all this success as a tail wind, I am hitting a brick wall each way I turn. Not enough sailors to raid. Not enough recruiters to recruit. Not enough reporters writing articles for the EBC. Not enough ambassadors to support the foreign service. Partially, I blame myself for overemphasizing how great things were during the election. It seems that without fear as a motivator, few want to step up. Where are all the Europeians? What has happened to the dedication of the everyday citizen? Frustration is running rampant in this administration. Running a region as large as Europeia is not a one, two, or even three-man job. It takes a village. Step up and do your duty.
