I decided to do a bit of scrolling through my feed to see what I missed while I was locked out of my account. I expected to see some nice political discourse, cool memes, and lengthy conversations. What was it? BESKAR BESKAR BESKAR BESKAR BESKAR. I love it!
So we don't have much time and its gonna be a while before catland news gets a twitter account so im just gonna do the poll. so the astrotroid belt is safer now who should go nominate in the comments!
I thought Farmato was an SL who acted in good faith. Apparently I was wrong. He turned DoLaRM into a very partisan body that only does his bidding, all to permit mining in Catland. I'm all for prosperity, but shouldn't the CL citizens have a say in what happens to their homeland?
@WireBire@therealsnakeguy I agree that this is very good for the economics of the UMC. But look at what is happening to these people: this can't be the right way.

BREAKING: MINING IN CATLAND BEGINS
Citizens of Catland were relocated to the P1 communal living space to make room for the recently re-approved mining project in the region. Public outcry has arisen around the nation as footage shows citizens crammed tightly together.

11TH SENATE ELECTED, CRATOCRATS SEE MAJOR GAINS
Following the completion of the 11th Senatorial Elections, Cratocrats unseated Libracrats, Optics, and Independents throughout the UMC to pick up 5 seats. Sen. Wire Bire (C-P1) was acclaimed the Cratocratic Senate Leader.
Sen. Bire assured a crowd in Petropolis today that the relocations were contributing to the prosperity of the UMC by allowing for valuable resources to be extracted. SL Farmato echoed this sentiment and mandated that the Senatorial Transport be used for temporary housing.

FARMATO, BIRE REQUEST PATIENCE AMID PUBLIC OUTCRY

POPULATION EVENING OUT BETWEEN METROPOLES
Due to recent domestic migrations, each of the 5 most populous Metropoles make up between about 13% and 16% of the total UMC population. NUC is the largest with 16.02% and Philboville is the smallest with 12.89%.
Today was a great day for the UMC. We vanquished the forces of fascism and reaffirmed the power of the people will a slew of pro-democracy amendments! Thanks to all who made this possible; this is what we can achieve when we are active, engaged citizens and governors.
I understand that many are currently dissatisfied with the mining situation in Catland. Both sides have very valid arguments, and this needs to be settled civilly. Please stop messing around with the Senate by kicking people out; this is going to cause dangerous chaos.
Senate Libracrats, please be the champions for justice and good governance that you are and resist the temptation to join strange and misguided efforts to control the Senate. We must make sure that representation works the way the Constitution intended.
Today brought a smile to my face when I saw @tslotumc lead a battalion of the Cherished Fleet into Morspantis to welcome the city back into the UMC as the Metropol of Macville. For today, fascism is conquered, but we must remain vigilant against its influence.
