Maron runs for Sec-Gen
The Aerican Empire surprised the LoSS recently by announcing that they would put forth a candidate, Nathan Maron, for the position of Secretary General in the upcoming elections. Maron was selected for the poition rather than ambassador Glark himself after the government decided that the Secretary General should not be a delegate himself. Maron's chances, he says, are slim. He knows that Thomas Leys, his adversary, is a well liked man.
"I like the guy too," said Maron to reporters. "I don't think I have much of a shot at this, but just being there, showing the world that we care what happens, is a big step. We can't wait for them to see past the happy faces. We have to be out there and forcing them to see that we are here, that we can be serious, and that we're not going away just because they don't like us."
Elections are to be held in mid March.

Portugese article translated
The Portugese article has been translated into English.
Aerica in the News
A newly arrived citizen, Bruno, sent a copy recently of a January article form a Portugese news magazine to the Emperor. This article was a short discussion of micronationalism, and a third of the article was devoted to the Aerican Empire. Bruno was kind enough to send a copy of the article to the Emperor, who is having it translated into English. The Portugese version was sent to the Aerican Cultural Institute, and has prompted moving forward the schedule for the opening of the Aerican Museum.
Aerican Museum Opens Ahead of Schedule
Following the appearance of the article sent in by citizen Bruno, the Aerican Cultural Institute has advanced plans to open the Aerican Museum. The Museum, oriogonally scheduled to open May for the Empire's thirteeth birthday, was instead opened on February fifth, and currently contains only two sections: The portugese article in question and an excerpt from the East Cyberian "Red Reporter."
Any citizens interested in submitting to the Museum are invited to do so. An area of the Museum will be set aside for cultural works or art put forth by citizens, be it in the form of story, art, poetry, or something else.
We reached Emperor Lis in his office. "This is a great day for us," he said. "All citizens can take great joy in seeing that we have been noticed by a news agency, regardless of its size. I hope that [the Museum] will be a boon to us all."
A curator for the Mueum has not been chosen yet, but letters to the Museum will be forwarded through the Procaid address used by much of the web-site.
