 +**Michael Webb** (known as **TheRandomMelon**) is the current [[civics:melonia:speaker|Speaker of Parliament]] of the [[civics:melonia|Republic of Melonia]] and the current [[civics:melonia:ministry:state|Minister of State]] of the Republic of Melonia. He won a very close race against former [[civics:melonia:mp|Member of Parliament]] [[officials:legate|Legate]] for the Speakership on June 15, 2023. Webb was appointed to the position of Minister of State by Prime Minister CalvinX immediately after the election. Parliament unanimously approved Webb for the position.
 +
 +He was also the former [[civics:melonia:president|President]] of the [[civics:melonia|Republic of Melonia]]. He ran unopposed for the position, which used to be called Mayor, on May 30, 2022, with his running mate (at the time), [[officials:josephinemira|JosephineMira]]). He was again elected unopposed on June 15, 2022, with the same running mate as well. This repeated for the July 15, 2022 election as well. He is also one of the founders and the current party leader of the [[parties:mrp|Melonian Representative Party]].
 +
 +Webb's long time [[civics:melonia:pm|Prime Minister]], JosephineMira, decided to resign from their role as PM on August 12, 2022 due to burnout from holding the position for so long. President Webb appointed [[officials:tz_scion|tz_scion]] to run with him to become the next Prime Minister. They won that election as well, and tz_scion held that position for several months.
 +
 +tz_scion decided to switch his party affiliation from the MRP to the [[parties:cbp|CalvinBall Party]] on February 1, 2023 after a disagreement with President Webb regarding some policies. This caused President Webb to choose a new Prime Ministerial candidate: [[officials:snhk|former M.P. SNHK]], a member of the MRP. However, on February 8, 2023, M.P. SNHK, during a live Speakership debate, attempted to assassinate tz_scion on stage. This led to President Webb changing his Prime Ministerial candidate once more, this time to [[civics:melonia:ministry:science|Minister of Science]] [[officials:awedball|awedball]], a member of the CalvinBall Party (CBP). 
 +
 +tz_scion decided to run for President in the June 15, 2023 election. Rather than oppose Scion, who was a very popular figure in Melonia at this point in time, Webb instead decided to run for the position of Speaker of Parliament. Webb was elected as Speaker by an incredibly slim margin against former M.P. [[officials:legate|Legate]].
 +
 +He was appointed to the position of Minister of State by President Scion and unanimously confirmed by Parliament on June 15, 2023.
 +
 +On September 23, 2023, Michael Webb decided to dissolve the Melonian Representative Party as M.P. cstro216 decided to leave the party. Webb would remain independent until October 1, 2023, where him and M.P. cstro decided to join the CalvinBall Party (CBP) due to contentions during the October 15, 2023 election.
 +
 +==== Tenure as President (May 30, 2022-June 15, 2023) ====
 +==1st Election (May 30, 2022)==
 +Webb ran unopposed on May 30, 2022, and therefore, automatically won. He immediately got to work after his victory by properly establishing the first government of Melonia by co-writing the [[civics:melonia:former_constitution|City Constitution of Melonia]], along with other officials. He also co-wrote the Homeland Protection Act and the Building Standards Act, which got passed unanimously by the Senate the very next day, on June 1st.
 +
 +==Procedures Created, First Senate Meeting (May 31, 2022)==
 +He started the procedure of creating and naming streets, and keeping records of what people, businesses and nations were occupying each lot. During the first Senate meeting, he began the standard of the Mayor acting as meeting clerk, writing down all votes and events that occur during the meetings.
 +
 +After this meeting, he also began the standard of writing a Senate Meeting Summary, which was made to inform the citizens of Melonia about everything that occurs in each Senate meeting, from laws passed to upcoming referendums to special votes made by the Senate on certain issues. This is not done too much anymore in the Republic government, instead being replaced with a simple Discord announcement or Twitter post.
 +
 +==Diplomacy with the Kingdom of Taladosia==
 +On May 31, 2022, the Senate voted unanimously to begin diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Taladosia, another nation on another Minecraft server. Once this had passed, the Mayor immediately began talks with Taladosia's chief diplomat Bannerman. Webb welcomed Bannerman to the city soon after, and took him for a tour around the city.
 +
 +Webb has, with Kaiser Tava and Razvañdhiej [[officials:bannerman|Bannerman]] (who was also formerly a member of Parliament in Melonia), created an official treaty between the two nations in order to more officially solidify how relations work between both nations.
 +
 +Webb has continued to strengthen relations with Cieurnia. He struck a deal with them to allow them to occupy some land on the Server of Melonia in exchange for protecting Melonia. While the protection deal is no longer a thing, the land still exists and is owned by the Cieurns. This land became a Cieurnish demejan (fully controlled by the Cieurnish empire) called [[civics:cieurnia:najtraunas|Najtraunas]].
 +
 +On October 16, 2022, Melonia engaged with a war against the Cieurns in Najtraunas now called the [[history:one-hour-war|One Hour War]], due to its short length. The Melonian Legion, under former [[civics:melonia:ministry:state|Minister of State]] [[officials:josephinemira|JosephineMira]]'s command, burned down bridges and killed several Najtraunians.
 +
 +After agreeing to a peace deal with Bannerman, the Cieurnish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Webb immediately ordered Prime Minister Scion to fire JosephineMira for causing a bloody war with a good ally. For more information on the war itself, [[history:one-hour-war|see the article]].
 +
 +Since the fallout of the One Hour War, Webb has worked to restore Cieurno-Melonian relations by agreeing to give up more land for Najtraunas, to provide resources to them, and pledged to negotiate a brand new treaty with the Cieurns, which is still a work-in-progress.
 +
 +==First Ever Senate Emergency Meeting (June 1, 2022)==
 +Webb called the first ever Senate Emergency Meeting on June 1, 2022 to discuss an issue in the business district where Mexican3636 had built a farm in the river that was blocking the entire waterway, preventing boats from sailing there. He led this meeting due to the Vice Mayor being unavailable, and the Senate decided unanimously to cut a 3-block wide hole in the center of the farm to allow boat traffic to flow through.
 +
 +==Creating an Official Melonia Map==
 +President Webb pushed hard for the creation of an official map of Melonia, detailing the locations of streets and buildings. This map was officially first created by Webb on June 16, 2022. It has been updated extensively since, which shows the huge expansion of Melonia over a small amount of time.
 +
 +View the original map [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/980953598483640350/987120981795541062/Melonia_Map_copy.png|here]] and the most recent version (June 29, 2022) [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/980953598483640350/991886962417995866/Melonia_Map_NEW_6-29_copy.png|here]].
 +
 +Note that these maps have not been updated in several months, and are very outdated.
 +
 +==Naturalization (June 16, 2022)==
 +The President pushed for an official naturalization act soon after the formation of Melonia, and one was finally passed on June 16, 2022. He has used this bill to welcome several more citizens to the Republic of Melonia since its passing, including Simbad, who is now the governor of Najtraunas.
 +
 +==Involvement in enacting a Melonian Republic (July 15, 2022-August 21, 2022)==
 +President Webb was strongly in support of enacting a takeover of the entire world (except the Cieurnish colony Najtraunas) and naming the land the Republic of Melonia. This nation uses a semi-presidential system. In this system, a citizen elects two people for the two positions, the same as the City government, a President and a Member of Parliament to represent them. The President appoints a Prime Minister, who is head of the cabinet, and then the PM appoints the Ministers to run the cabinet, which are approved by the Parliament. The Parliament approves the Prime Minister.
 +
 +The President is head-of-state, mostly doing things like executing foreign affairs, giving speeches, being allowed to expunge criminals, etc, etc, while the Prime Minister runs the day-to-day affairs of the government, and more directly affects citizens. The Parliament can kick the Prime Minister or any Cabinet members out at any time with a majority "vote of no confidence".
 +
 +This support led at first to the renaming of all government positions to match the potential new government, which is why Webb is now titled "President" instead of Mayor. He then pushed for the [[civics:melonia:constitution|Constitution of the Republic of Melonia]] to be formed. This Constitution is over 24 pages long, which is why it took a couple of months for the Constitution to finally be ratified, on August 21, 2022, officially beginning the Republic of Melonia phase.
