It's almost been a week from the posting of the last NewZupdate and another one needs to be posted to the gOdZ soon. The resent surge in population can most likely be attributed to the last NewZupdate. Here's what was in the last one
The controversy over the tied Domestic Minister election finally ended, when the Court accepted the withdrawl of GhengisFarb. E_T now completes the Term 6 government as Domestic Minister. A debate over how to resolve ties has started, though an agreement has yet to be reached. Meanwhile, the new Senate voted for an absence of organization on the floor.
We continue to attempt to outresearch the AI; but now that our Golden Age has come to an end, it is slow going. We were beaten to Medicine by one turn and missed out on the juiciest trades, but managed to salvage the situation somewhat and trade it to India in exchange for Nationalism.
With the acquisition of Nationalism, a debate over whether to use the new ability to draft began. The consensus was that limited drafting in large cities should be practiced, and our first drafts were ordered by President Aggie recently.
These Conscripts will be needed, as even one of the weakest civs have dared to attack us: the Zulus landed two Impies on Uber Island, a small landmass off the shore of Apolyton. When we demanded that Shaka withdraw them, he promptly declared war. His outdated Impies were defeated by our valiant and superior forces; however, this war wiped out what remained of his substantial debt to us. Because we feel it is important to focus on Germany, and his small continent is a long ocean voyage from Apolyton, we signed peace for a pittance. Relations have since returned to a rocky normality, and we have sold Industrialization to Shaka; but we have vowed never to forget, and the Zulus old debts will come calling one day.
The reasoning behind our mounting attack on Germany was underscored when Bismarck twice beat us in the tech race by one turn, first to Sanitation and then to Industrialization; he snapped up most of the valuable trades, making our scientific investments far less profitable than they could have been. But we were finally able to trade for Steam Power, as Greece was too poor to buy it from Germany, and was happy to trade with us; the first railroad lines have already been laid. Industrialization has also netted some new income from the Zulu. We are now one turn away from discovering the secret to Electricity, and will soon find out if we have managed to beat Bismarck for the first time.
With Riflemen, new technologies like Railroads, Factories, and Hospitals, and an economy that rivals other top nations, Apolytonia is in good shape heading in to a new war. But only time will tell whether Germany, arguably our greatest challenge yet, can be conquered.

Need to have suggestions for Klorrep to have in the next NewZupdate.
