Government officials say that Cubrero will be receive every honor fitting his rank and glorious past,despite being discharged by the Bureaucracy that followed his
5-year rule.
In other news,the Great Leader has been asked from several newspaper editors for an interview but he continuously rejected because of his modest character.
Journalist & child novel author Richard-Georg Owell though,had a completely different proposal.He proposed to make a biography of our Magnificent Leader's life.In a mood of benevolence and generosity,our Undisputed Leader has agreed to grant Mr.Owell the permission to make a biography,a "timeline of his glorious deeds" as Mr.Owell put it.The whole process is about to take aproximately 3 or 4 months according to schedule.

Keymon Royalist Party Welcomes Free Republic Party to Legistlative Council, First Appointments to Peerage by Grand Prince

Miles Anderson has been appointed Count Hillsborough by His Royal Majesty, Jonas I. He has assumed all responsibilities and privileges of the post herewith. Over 150 people were appointed to peerage out of a government shortlist that included over 500 names in business, the arts, politics, and some servicemen.

Opposition Organizes!

The Free Republics Party has been organized out of several organizations based upon Republican principles and who are opposed to the recently-established Desiderian monarchy. A KRP spokeswoman has said she looks forward to dealing with the new opposition both within and outside of the Legislative Council. Several reforms are being streamlined due to the emergence of a tangible opposition.

King Deposed, "Has Accepted the Situation"

Following the rise of the True Disciples, talks began on the best way to shift the power from the king to the cardinal. In the palace at Royal Hillsborough, an eager crowd awaited the return of King Phillip II, and Cardinal Viktor Williams.

"I hate to see him go. King Phillip was such a great leader. He was good for morale, but the cardinal is good too, I guess." said one woman.

We asked one man who he supported, and he declared, "The cardinal, of course." When we inquired as to his reasons, we were accused of being "Davostani hell-bound homosexuals" and Jim recieved a blow to the face. He was promptly arrested, and Jim is in stable condition.

After we helped Jim into the ambulance(it was a strong man), the Cardinal and the King emerged from the palace and greeted the cheering crowd. The King had mustered up a feeble smile, and looked almost defeated. The Cardinal, however, had a look of smug victory across his face, and walked with a slight swagger, but not too much. The King spoke:

"We are pleased to announce that I will be stepping down as Monarch, and that the role of Head of State shall be occupied by the good Cardinal"

His voice was shaky. The crowd cheered, and the curtains fell on the Royaliwith Dynasty; However, the family is expected to try to raise them again. The Royaliwiths will be living quite comfortably, still retaining their nobility privileges and their massive wealth.

But what does the Cardinal's rule mean for the rest of us?

Cardinal Brings Sweeping Reforms

As we approach His Holiness the Cardinal's third year as ruler, a protest has formed outside of his palace in Royal Hillsborough. These unwashed heathens are protesting over the Cardinal's swift reforms, banning sinful acts such as homosexuality and blasphemy, to drugs, even the former private news media; they were declared by the Cardinal as "too liberal", but honestly, we could all see their wicked ways.

This protest is one of several that have broken out across the country, with unrepentant sinners demanding a return to the evil liberal state the Cardinal and Elyon are trying to lead us away from. We are supposed to be a guiding light to the word, but we can't do that if these blasphemes stand around and shout crude slogans, obviously inspired by demons.

Fortunately, His Holiness, in all his divinely-inspired wisdom, realized this would be an issue. To quote him:

People are often to blind and stupid to see Elyon's grace before them. They need our help.

The Cardinal has given more power to our clean, Elyon-fearing, conservative police officers. The Cardinal has taken away those dirty hooligans power to gather and oppose Elyon. They won't be so loud after they see the good police officers of Elyon brandishing their holy weapons!
