An Overview of 2012

Sorry for the lackluster posting last year, as I had something you could call time constraints. Anyway, here goes. Last January, a major embezzlement case was discovered on Tycufux, the Waterloo sectors joined Ceni and the Senate welcomed expatriates from Arunnia and Waterloo. In February Shadow B'betsy was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis. March was the most exciting month of the year as Waterloo's revolution started. A referendum to change to an electoral college failed and a referendum to change to a semi-presidential system succeeded in April. May, June, and July were months of fierce campagining for the nominations in this year's election contest. In June a conflict that would be the Flannium War started. Also in July, Muz Mahala joined Ceni and Waterloo's revolution continued. In August the latest census was completed and Ceni demanded things of the new Republic of Waterloo. Also in August, Cenian Sector turned two. The major planet of Wadi Themaneyah fell to Ceni in September. Kyn Tucin turned 44 in October. In November Shadow B'betsy won the CSLP convention and Cara Crantat and Kartot Tarat were the CCU's nominees for President and Prime Minister, respectively. In December the campaigning touched off. That was 2012 in review in Ceni.
