Commonwealth of Dracul

On Friday afternoon, Governor Kassie Bushong of South Dracul appointed Daniel Morris as her new Lieutenant Governor. Bushong met with Morris in a group chat and learned of his past leadership and diplomatic experience. Due to former Lt. Governor Hayes' departure, Bushong needed a replacement to help her strengthen South Dracul. Lieutenant Governor Morris is expected to be sworn in before the end of next week.

The State of North Dracul will be hosting their first online live auction, Monday, July 27 at 3PM central, as they auction off the first North Dracul State Flag. This decision was made, due to an error between Dracul and a flag company, sending a second flag, after it was thought that the flag was lost in the mail. North Dracul plans to collect funds from this auction, to assist with the current operating costs of the state.

After a year of faithful service to the State of South Dracul, Lieutenant Governor Hanan Hayes resigned from her position on Thursday afternoon. Hayes served under Goveror Kassie Bushong, but decided that her skills were better put to use on the national level. Hayes expressed her excitment by assisting the newly appointed Treasury Secretary Meghan Bushong, since the two of them are close friends. Hayes will be working in the Treasury Department as the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

Over the past month, the Dracul State Department has been in the process of hiring new ambassadors, to take the amount of work off the State Secretary and establish better relations with their allies. The State Department determined in late June 2020, that each ally of Dracul's deserved a direct and primary contact.

As of now, there are currently three ambassadors working in the State Department. Those ambassadors have been assigned to both popular and newer micronations. New ambassadors will be primarily assigned to micronations, with poor to minimum relations.

Within the past few months, Dracul Armed Forces have seen an increase in recruitment. Many believe the reason for the increase is due to a restructre of the branches, as well as additional advertisment. Two additional recruits were accepted, after the Nicholas II Memorial Service on July 17, which was probably due to the ceremony. Many attendees and viewers of the event were pleased with the color guard turn out.
