Senate action for 3 July 2751 as posted in the “old Tabularium” This is posted in place of a Tribunes report that has yet to be found. Tiberius Galerius Paulinus, Censor 8 August 2761 A.V.C.

1. Diplomatic Recognition of Federation Ark

(Proposed by Flavius Vedius Germanicus 7/2/98. No voting deadline. Approved (no recognition granted) without dissenting votes 7/3/98)

We received an email from a representative of another Micronation called "Federation Ark" requesting relations with us. They have a web site at http://www.chemi.muni.cz/~jdqh/federate.html. They have already listed us as a "recognized" nation.

Having checked it out, I believe it is entirely the sort of fantasy role-playing outfit we want to avoid. One of their sub-units is listed as a "magicracy", they have fantasy geography and history, etc. I ask my fellow Senators to vote nay on granting Federation Ark official relations and recognition.

2. Appointment of Scipio Hyeanus Africanus as Proconsul of the Southwest U.S. Provincia

(Proposed by Flavius Vedius Germanicus 6/30/98. No voting deadline. Approved with no dissenting votes 7/3/98)

I would like to nominate a new Citizen, Scipio Hyeanus Africanus, as governor of the Southwest provincia. He has expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for the job; he volunteered, in fact:

"I also wish to know if and when it would be possible to be elected ProConsul of the Southwestern Provincea. I do look forward to this and any other challenges Mother Romesends to me. I have been waiting a long time to find her."

When I outlined the responsibilities to him, his response was: "Rome was not built in a day, and neither is a Provincea, but it is a thing I desire most, and will dedicate myself to it, I already have printed out the leaflets the site has to offer, I am working on a gentes web site so that others may know and be a part of. and if possible, would like to look into getting the Nova Roman flag made. I would accept any responsibility that the office would require, and do appreciate your aid." I don't think we're going to be given a more enthusiastic candidate for the job. I ask the Senate confirm him as governor of the Southwest Provincia.

3. Appointment of Q. Claudia Lucentia Aprica as Proconsul of Britannia Provincia

(Proposed by Flavius Vedius Germanicus 6/30/98. No voting deadline. Approved with no dissenting votes 7/3/98)

I would at this time also ask that the Senate appoint another new Citizen, Q. Claudia Lucentia Aprica, as governor of Britannia. She is our first citizen from that country, and has expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for Nova Roma as an organization. I have broached the subject to her, and she has said she was definitely interested.

I ask that the Senate appoint her as governor of Britannia.
