Jewitt Elected President of the United States
The people of the eUnited States have elected Jewitt to be their President in a surprising race. He carried 2056 votes to defeat incumbent Josh Frost’s 1714. Herrn Sterling was unable to get off the ballot and pulled in 304 votes. Don Keedick, the only candidate besides Jewitt to select national goals, received 301, and Greg 454 pulled in 85. President Jewitt admitted that he expected Josh Frost to be soundly reelected and originally ran to be a viable second-place in the event of an impeachment. Jewitt is a former Vice President, under Gaius Julius, and was the Secretary of the Treasury in the Frost administration. You can read his inaugural address here.

National Goals
eRepublik introduced a new mechanics, the National Goals, after this election. According to the mechanics, our countries current goals are to have a population of 23322 citizens and a GDP of 3744 Gold on Day 776 of the New World. We also need to be in control of London and Northern Ireland. These conflict with the national goals of the United Kingdom, who also want control over those regions on Day 776. The Hungarian nation is devoted to conquering Banat, Crisana, Maramures, and Transilvania, Romania. Romania, in turn, wants to conquer Heilongjiang, a Hungarian region of Chinese origin. Iran may be looking to conquer Balochistan, Pakistan, while the Russian nation is pursuing a monumental endeavor to conquer Hamgyong, North Korea.
United States Declaring War on Japan
The President proposed a war declaration to Japan which is currently being voted on in Congress. The details which are public at this time have been discussed by Jewitt in his most-recent article. While Japan is obviously not the United Kingdom, it is an island nation with inhabitants who speak a different variant of English than we do.
Americans should prepare themselves and keep a careful watch on the DoD orders. Kyushu, the only Japanese region which shares a border with the United States, at Hawai’i, has a Q5 defense system and a population of 222 as of press time. Citizens should not rely on gun distribution from the government.
Update on the Spanish Invasion of France
The Spanish invasion of Rhone Alps, France’s other high-wood region, has been successful. There will likely be market repercussions throughout former PEACE GC nations. France now has mutual protection pacts with Russia and Italy which have not been activated yet. Spain has not attacked any new regions. France now controls 15 regions, and seven French regions are under Spanish control.
United States Training Corps
The United States Training Corps, the entry point for higher branches of the United States military, is still taking new recruits. Home Guard, Mobile Infantry, Army – they all get their start in the Training Corps. Anyone with aspirations of an eUS military career should start at this spreadsheet:

Your contacts for more information are General Angelini and Lieutenant General Teucer.
Special Radio Announcement
We have the following announcement from Chief of Staff WahooBob:
Jewitt will be making a special radio address on Monday evening, 9:30 pm Eastern [18:30 server time]. It will last for 45 minutes, and citizens will have the chance to call in to ask a question of the President, and also on Rizon.Net IRC channel #The-report . This will be broadcasted at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-report
This concludes the fifty-ninth White House Press Release and the first of Jewitt’s Presidency. As you can see, I managed to keep my job for another term, and I am honored to be chosen to continue bringing the government’s news to you, the citizens. Please remember to ‘vote’ this article up so your fellow citizens can be informed. Go stock up on guns now.
Still around,

Lovely. This should be an interesting presidency. My gut instinct is it will end with the eUS back down to one region.
Congratulations, let's hope it'll be a fun month.
This is bullshit. When did invading eJapan help us gain London and Northern Ireland. Retards voting Jewitt in.
I guess that's what happens when you loan out Kyushu against a country that can come back to bite you on the @ss.
I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. The US and Canada looked like they were being wiped off the map, so it would be smart to co-operate with their no masters, right?
Only problem is, US and Canada were pronounced dead, but we've been very unquiet corpses.
I don't know if we're gonna get thru, Japan, you may be able to preserve Kyushu with your MPP's.
But you can't really blame us for wanting to go thru, especially after you aided our virtual destruction.
Regards,
Jon Barack Bluejacket
