Third Term as General Secretary
Magerius was elected on June 20th to return to the post of General Secretary; this time being fully ready to serve out his full term.

The New Gehenna Crisis
On July 18th the Magerius Government announced the "Revival of New Gehenna" in the old city of Gehenazar in an attempt to create another hub to assist the growth of the USSE's economy thanks to its great set up of farms. Six hours later a member of the old guard, Chel, announced also the reclamation of the ancient capital of Vostroya in a historical moment for the nation with Magerius later stating that another objective of New Gehenna is to create a major line of defense for Vostroya.

Within a day it would be found out that the Government's strategy for going through with the New Gehenna project was highly controversial; PSB Agents were ordered to loot inactive houses and bring it all back to a storage so as to stockpile resources for the newer construction projects. Alongside this his Government chose to begin restricting the size of newly constructed houses because of a clear housing disparity in the nation which saw some living in Villas when others were forced to live in basements. But this proved incredibly unpopular with the citizens of the Vostroya region, who reacted to these measures by calling strikes and attacked Magerius by calling him a "Revisionist" and a "Liberal" and wishing for the "restoration of town democracy".

Literally the day after the beginning of the revival of New Gehenna; Magerius responded to this by stating his position that he believes nothing of what he did was unjust or unconstitutional, and blamed the claim owner Maggie for making some mistakes such as previously selling the land to Manzland and also allowing several non-USSE citizens into the claim not long after getting it, also quoting the party line proposed by her which showed a clear support for his actions. He called the strikes "reactionary" and that instead invited the strikers to speak with him personally to solve the problem.

On the third day of the crisis, June 20th, the Vostroya and Gehenna Worker's strikes ended following successful push for the "Referendum on the Defining of Illegal Seizure, Rights of Mayoral Councils, and Rights of Mayors" which addressed the striker's concern about the protection of town democracy and autonomy, and also successful negotiations between the PSB, the Government, and the Strikers.

Cabinet Reshuffle
The same day as the response came out; Magerius' Deputy, Emma T. Brewtaker, resigned. A day later he appointed former Commissioner of Industry "Lead" as his new deputy, with him being replaced by Partisan Chair and Ex-General Secretary Rosa Ortangon because of her experience and dedication to the ongoing economic reforms in the USSE. Together with this he declared the introduction of bi-weekly government meetings available to the public eye in his efforts to make the Government appear more transparent and to grant the people further participation in governance.

Back to Work
In the night between July 20th and July 21st Magerius signed "The Janitorial Cleanup Act" proposed by Representative Arika Ronango'O and which passed with 6 of the 8 representatives voting in favour. The JCA revoked/nullified/abolished sections or full parts of the following pieces of legislaton:


 * The Socialist Mayoral Establish Act
 * The Trans USSE Flag Icon Act
 * The Sun Set Clause for all Legalization Act
 * The Discord Mention Regulation and Notify Role Bill

Political Ideology
Magerius is a generally normal Xeroist; supporting a centralized economy, a unitarian government, and the upholding of Socialist Democracy. According to him, his only major difference with Xeroism is that he wishes to make the USSE the bastion of Xeroism instead of actively seeking to expand it across the other nations of Eldham,. His campaign also supported Constitutionalism and Constitutional reforms; seeking to "enhance the legal clarity, transparency, and democratic values within the USSE." And as with most USSE candidates, he also showed advocacy for a populist style of governing.

As a former Marshal of the USSE, Magerius also seeks out to empower and strengthen the People's Army while keeping a good balance between it and the People's Security Bureau in terms of power. Which may be seen also as an active part of his foreign policy. In terms of which he views the USSE as a nation among nations and seeks to actively cooperate with all major powers, having run on a Pro-Serronan League (now defunct) platform in the June 2023 election, to peacefully expand the USSE's borders, and to build up a strong economy. Seeing all of this together with his policy towards the Military and PSB signifies that his political agenda can be identified under the umbrella term of "Armed Neutrality".
