State of the Nation - September 2011


Greetings All,

September 2011 was a steady month for Byzantium Novum.

We are now at 213 official Byzantine Citizens, an increase of seven for the month. If you haven't visited our main Citizen map at Community Walk for a while, it's worth a look to see how we've grown: http://www.communitywalk.com/byzantium_novum_citizen_map/map/543922
As always, if you are a Citizen you can add personal info on your map point if you like! :)

Byzantium Novum now has 2337 Facebook contacts, a monthly increase of 87 more people receiving our public posts and broadcasts.

The biggest news for September was the completion of the latest edition of "The Basilica" by Senator Amma Doukaina. This wonderful issue is filled with great information and may be viewed here:

Many thanks to Senator Amma and everyone who contributed to this excellent issue!

As always, Byzantium Novum is looking to expand its local community and there was good progress in many of the local areas of Byzantium Novum, including local newsletters and new Citizens becoming active.

The Byzantium Novum public web forums were fairly quiet in September. Some of our most active Citizens were dealing with personal situations and could not be as present in Byzantium as usual. This happens at times in all forums at times so we are looking forward to a more active community participation in October!
