Lazarus is a feeder region, where nations are automatically sent to when resurrected.

History

Lazarus, originally had no founder, yet when upon delegacy one nation ejected all of the nations from the region, it was decided by the mods to have Testlandia a puppet of the NationStates administration as founder. Lazarus largely exists to serve its simple purpose as a repository of newly re-created nations. Lazarus' first organized government was under the delegacy of Lies Incorporated, better known in world politics as Sarda. Under his delegacy, the Lazarus government became active and began to show signs of great international potential.

In the spring of 2004, Sarda was overthrown by New Omnivaro. This new government moved to a new forum, to which it recruited such famed nations as Otm Shanks. An extended period of government inactivity would leave the region in turmoil until the fall of 2004.

A rebellion began, and once again, Lazarus was active. In late November, a newly founded nation, Vesoul, would endorsement swap it's way to the delegacy. This delegacy, however, would be short lived, as Vesoul lost UN status due to rules violations.

Once again, Lies Incorporated claimed the delegacy, and with his new power he brought activity back to Lazarus.

On December 17th 2004, Sarda stepped down from his position as delegate, entrusting it to Baribeau. Both remain active part of regional government, extending foreign ties, and working towards a re-write of the Lazarene Mandate.

On January 5th, 2005, Darnand was appointed interim Minister of Defence and Intelligence, and head of the Undead Hordes. Thanks to Darnand, the rest of the staff (TyaGE cannot be left out), and the people of Lazarus, there have been signifigant advancements in this ever-improving region.

On the 7th of March, Baribeau resigned his UN Delegacy, citing RL time restraints. In order to encourage a dedicated, secure delegacy, he remained a regional UN member (keeping his endorsements), and encouraged a variety of citizens to campaign for the delegacy. PeaceLoving Sex Fiends stepped up to the plate.

At approximately 11pm (GMT), March 15th, 2005 Testlandia ceased to exist; returned at about 2am (GMT), March 17th.

Baribeau's delegacy, marked by improved foreign relations, and an increase in forum activity, would conclude 8 days after his resignation.

On the 18th of March 2005, Testlandia was removed as founder (a little while after being resurrected), and Lazarus given the freedom it deserves, as warranted to any other feeder region. See: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=405840

On the 16th of March 2005, PeaceLoving Sex Fiends became the regional UN Delegate, as having the second highest endorsement count when Baribeau was in power, he was seen as a potential delegate after Baribeau's resignation, and when contacted, agreed to take the role, and brought a promise of regional security and prosperity. However, after six days of his delegacy, he had not been active on the forums (and it was suspected that he decided not to use the forums altogether). He had changed the World Factbook Entry (mostly regarding himself) without consulting any of the natives on prior notice, and in addition, in it threatened to eject any nations holding half the endorsements of himself (which did not eventuate within his reign). Furthermore he had made some silly mistakes (in the WFE, calling Max Barry Max Berry and accusing him of condoning seriously grieving flaming) and was quite inactive (the first 4 days of his delegacy he did not even log in). Accordingly, considerable opposition was mustered against his delegacy, with the relatively new nation of Lynnaka leading the opposition. As Lynnaka's endorsement count came to that of the delegate, several suspicious nation arrived in the region all originating from the same place, coming at approximately the same, supported PLSF and posted abusive message on the civil HQ. On the 24th of march, PLSF and these suspicious nations (about five of them) were simultaneously ejected from the UN for rule violations, and Lazarus was left without a delegate.

Lynnaka was left with the next highest endorsement count (30), with Baribeau close behind. Yet due to being not that well associated with Lynnaka, and hesitation due to the freshly felled previous tyrannical delegacy, several nations withdrew their endorsements from Lynnaka, leaving Baribeau slightly above in endorsement count. Yet, both Lynnaka's and Baribeau's endorsement counts continued to rise, and Baribeau only remained on top (by a considerable amount) because of external intervention, by TITO, and perhaps others.

During the intervention, several invading nation entered and in guile endorsed Baribeau. Just before the next update though, they switched their endorsements to Lynnaka, who the n became delegate. It was now revealed that Lynnaka was a DEN soldier, as was indicated in the WFE changes.

Soon after Lynnaka took power defenders came to retake the region again supporing Baribeau, giving him upt to 70 or so endorsements, far, far higher than Lynnaka, and Lazaruss was back under the delegacy of Baribueau.
