Lady Sigrdrífa dismissal
Following a vote of no confidence among the Council, Lady Sigrdrífa ("Forn Siðr Fúrstafrúa") has been relieved of her duties due a period of sustained inactivity. We would like to thank Lady Sigrdrífa for her time with and contributions towards the Council.
As a result of this announcement, Krasniy ("Yastreb") has been promoted to the position of full Council member from his former position of Junior. We will be opening applications to fill our vacated Junior position shortly

Re: Lady Sigrdrífa dismissal
Applications for the position of Junior are now open, and will remain so for the remainder of the current week, meaning that they will be closed on Sunday November 4th.
And why break with a formula that works?
Applicants should, in no more than 500 words, summarise why they believe they are a suitable candidate for the Junior Council member position and specify any individual skills which could come in handy for any prospective future projects.
Best of luck to all those applying!

Re: Lady Sigrdrífa dismissal
Hello.
As you are aware. I am Edwin Farrar founder and creator of the Florian Republic. I joined the Micrasian community on the 17th of June 2017 and I am very passionate about the Micras Sector. I am most of the time active and during my current time in the community, I have won two prestigious FNord awards and I have developed the Florian Republic into one of the leading sporting micronations on Micras. Appointing me as a junior member of the council would be a great way to allow new people to explore our great hobby and I am very good at a̶b̶s̶t̶a̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ voting.

Re: Lady Sigrdrífa dismissal
To the Esteemed MCS Council,
My name is Edgard, and as you know, I have been involved in Micras since 2002. During that time, I have won several FNORD awards in many different capacities that have recognized my skill and ability in helping lead or in engaging successfully in new and creative pursuits in a hobby that can be a little stale sometimes.
I am fairly knowledgeable in the use of MS Paint, and I also have Photoshop and Illustrator. While I am only knowledgeable in these pieces of software at a novice level, I have proven that when I set my mind to learning something new, I do it and I do it arguably well. While these are not instances of mapping or cartography prowess, I point to the heraldry project in Natopia for the Most Serene Union, and the heraldry projects in Caputia where I created arms for each of the 12 Caputian states and dominions. I understand that these projects do not relate to cartography, but they do show my ability to learn quickly and create solid results despite being new. I am also a Server Operator for the Micras Discord server.
I am reliably active, and already on this forum constantly due to my commitments as the Secretary-General of the MTO through my character Christophe Landry. As a Junior Member, I also want to see if we can develop close ties with the MTO as the most important institution in Micras. I'm not sure how exactly that can happen yet, but I think there is potential for some inter-organizational cooperation on cartography or future creative projects.
I promise as Junior Member to recuse from voting on any claims where I may be perceived as having a potential for bias. I also promise to conduct myself with honesty and integrity for as long as I serve on the Council on MCS business. If I vote against a claim, I will explain my reasoning. If I vote for a claim, I will also explain my reasoning. I will be fair and apply consistent standards whenever a vote is needed from me as Junior Member.
As Junior Member, here are some ideas I can already propose and go into the process of instituting if the MCS Council agrees:
Thank you for the opportunity!

As Junior Member, here are some ideas I can already propose and go into the process of instituting if the MCS Council agrees:
- A posted list of colors used for each nation, in hex code, RGB and whichever other determination is needed, to be updated regularly;
- A uniform application of the national colors listed above in the map.
Thank you for the opportunity!
