Confederation Falling Apart

It appears that the situation in the Confederate States of Lourenne has taken a turn for the worse. The once promising confederation seems to be hanging on by threads. Presidente Gamarra has assured the people of Lourenne that the situation is under control but many in the country do not believe this. Many ethnic French Rildanorians are beginning to panic as they do not feel safe under Gamarra's regime. Reports of discrimination have been widespread throughout the nation but this is just one of the many problems that the government faces. It appears that Gamarra is trying to tighten is control over each State and has been pressuring State Leaders into forming a full fledged republic. The National Congress has also passed a law granting Gamarra a term of 72 months instead of 60, which have left many questioning the integrity of his leadership.

Representatives from New Kreshar have stated "We have no desire to to form a unitary republican government at this time especially with Gamarra at the helm of the Presidency. In order to make sure our states interests are kept we will may succeed from this Confederation." So, as quickly as the Confederation has formed it may fall and to make matters worse it appears Presidente Gamarra has no intention of finding a peaceful solution.

Le Figaro - Parti Conservateur Royaliste begin to reconstitute the Empire
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – December 3068

The Democrats have been swept out of the country today as the Parti Conservateur Royaliste, once coalition partners of the Parti Monarchiste Impériale, in which both parties went silent once the Democrats began their administration, have emerged once again, merged with the PMI, to reform the Empire and wipe away the shame left by the Democrats.

The former Partido Nacional Democrático, known as the Democrats, led a coup against the monarch and reconstituted the Empire as a Confederation and then reformed that into a Republic under the Constitución Política de Lourenne, while Queen Isabella II was exiled to Rildanor.

Now though, the Parti Conservateur Royaliste have won a supermajority in the Congreso Nacional with no one to oppose them, they have begun a mass reformation to return to an Imperial authority and overturn the past decade of, what they call, anarchy.

Leader of the Parti Conservateur Royaliste, Elad Cirith, was named the immediate Ministre de Estado and presented a huge legislative agenda to the Congeso, in which he proposed a massive overhaul of Democrat policy, including the re-introduction of the Queen as head of state, the renaming of the legislature, the renaming of the nation, the return to Chancellorship and the rejoining of the Union Francaise, to formally renew ties to Rildanor.

December 3068, the month that the Parti Conservateur Royaliste began reforming an Empire.

Le Figaro – Plans to join the United Nations being considered by PCR!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – January 3069

The new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lucius Mevra, has proposed that the Empire either join the United Nations or try to form an active international organisation itself, something which the Congreso are discussing in depth.

If the nation decides to not join the United Nations, it is believed that Lucius will propose a League of Nations with the aim of becoming a dominate international organisation in Terra.

Le Figaro – PCR to return national flag, motto and anthem to Imperial times!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – February 3069

The PCR has today announced that the Empire will return to the former Holy Imperial flag, anthem and a new motto. The flag has been changed many times over the last decade, with a different one for the Confederation and the Republic but this return to old ways has been seen as popular across the nation, who where beginning to detest the Republic form of Government under Antonio Gamarra, the former President, who went missing on election day when the PCR took a supermajority.

The motto of our great nation will be; 'Pour mon pays et le trône', which translates to 'For My Country and the Throne!'

Image
The Royal Flag, Historic Imperial flag of Lourenne

The new anthem will be; 'Ô Lourenne, ô mère chérie, À toi nos cœurs, à toi nos bras, À toi notre sang, ô Patrie!

Nous le jurons tous, tu vivras! Tu vivras toujours grande et belle Et ton invincible unité Aura pour devise immortelle: Le Roi, le Pays!

Aura pour devise immortelle: Le Roi, le Pays! Le Roi, le Pays! Le Roi, le Pays! Lourenne le grand, Lourenne le merveilleux, Lourenne la glorieuse! Mai Dieu pour toujours sauver notre Empire!'

Which roughly tranlates to;

'O Lourenne, o cherished mother, TO you our hearts, to you our arm, TO you our blood, o Fatherland!

We the swearwords all, you will live! You will always live big and beautiful And your invincible unity Will Have for immortal motto: The King, the Country!

Will have for immortal motto: The King, the Country! The King, the Country! The King, the Country! Lourenne the big, Lourenne the wonderful, Lourenne the glorious one! May God for always to save our Empire!'

Le Figaro – PCR establish Orthodox Catholic Church of Lourenne!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – April 3069

The PCR have today announced that they will, through legislation, create 'L'Eglise catholique orthodoxe de Lourenne' and that it will swear fealty to Pope Grégoire II of the Orthodox Catholic Church.

The legislation provides 4 central articles; the first being that the state and church are separate but the church will represent the faith in Lourenne.

Image

The second being that State Religion Regulatory Committee and National Organization of Parishioners be created to handle remunerations and the separation of church & state.

The third being that the church is to primarily act as a symbol of orthodox Catholicism in Lourenne.

The fourth being that the faith is mandatory in Lourenne but participation in the faith is optional.

So the Empire will have an official, mandatory faith and that is, Orthodox Catholic.

Le Figaro – New Supreme Court Appointments sent to Congreso Nacional!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – May 3069

The Ministo de Estado today announced his 5 appointments to the Supreme Court of Lourenne and asked that the Congreso Nacional confirm them. With the former Associate Justices seeing out their 25 year term last month, the Court sits empty while the new administration appoint new Associate Justices. So who are they, lets take a look;

Michele Rafernik – A 58 year old who was a State Justice in the State Court of Alvium for the past 20 years. Originally serving as a Lawyer once he graduated from Aures University in Aures. Considered conservative.

Paula Cestiri – A 64 year old who was a law professor at the Université de Haboves in Ceran for 3 decades. Considered liberal.

Henri Buble – A 49 year old who was the Chief Justice for Haboves for 3 years before this appointment. Originally served as a Justice for Haboves for 6 years and a lawyer for 15 years once he graduated from Haboves Provincial University in Ferte Desseigne. Considered conservative. Current front runner for Justice of the Supreme Court, which is the chief position in the Court, leading the other Associate Justices.

David Sthamer – A 52 year old who was a psychology professor at Université de Lac des Lumières in Kreshar for 5 years before re-training to become a lawyer at 36. He represented some of the most high profile clients from Kreshar before being the youngest person to be invited to the bench in Eroncourt at 45, where he has spent the past 7 years. It is believed he was going to be offered a position on the State Court for Kreshar before this nomination. Considered socialist.

Lauren Fiska - A 69 year old who was a former Congresswoman for the PCR in 3037, she was the Minister for Justice in the PCR-PMI coalition before the party went silent at the emergence and domination of the Democrats. She went on to serve as a State Justice in Kundir for 28 years. Considered conservative.

Once the Congreso Nacional confirm them, they will internally elect a Justice as leader and be invested at the Justice Pavilion in Saint-Pierre.

Le Figaro – Back to Empire!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – July 3069

Today, after 14 years in exile, Isabelle II returned with the Consort and their family to the royal palace in Saint Pierre, where they were met by the new Chancelier, Elad Cirith. After a brief meeting between the Head of State and Head of Government, the Queen was re-in-vestured with her throne and crown before meeting the cabinet of the Empire.

The Queen made a short public address to the people gathered outside the palace, numbering in their thousands, in which she said;

'...Lourenne will know prosperity once again and we shall rule this Empire, with your elected officials, until the end of Terra. I say this to the Democrats and to the Confederates and to the Republicans, you have deposed me once and exiled me to Rildanor for 14 years, you shall never do it again, the Empire must and will stand the test of time through the reforms which my new Government are enacting. I do hereby so name, Prince Immanuel, the Sovereign Prince and heir to the throne of Lourenne, he shall be married within the year...'


So not only did the Queen thank the PCR, she named her heir, since she is 70, and announced that a royal wedding would be held within the year for the Sovereign Prince, but to who, a member of the nobility in Lourenne or a foreign noble, that is anyone's guess.

Image
Queen Isabelle II, Her Majesty, the Empress of Lourenne

The people are out in the streets celebrating today as the constitution is ratified to end the Republic and return to the Empire. The Congreso Nacional is now the Parlement National; the Ministo de Estados is now the Chancelier; the Parlement now consists of 200 members with a proportional algorithm for elections; the motto of the nation has been changed, as has the anthem and the flag; the national bird is once again the peacock and the Orthodox Catholic Church of Lourenne is now the official state religion.

Image
Celebrations throughout Saint Pierre

All these reforms, enacted by the in-power PCR, overthrow the administrative and national changes made by the Democrats in there, what is being called anarchy period of the past 14 years. The Empire is renewed but changed, with titles and legislatures holding difference powers and functions to the Holy Lourennian Empire from before the Republic but the central theme being the same, a Imperial nation under a House of Orleans-Vasser monarch.

The PCR have called for elections to fill the 100 new seats in the Parlement and the Chancelier said they can 'then begin the work of governance and improving the nation and Empire.'

Le Figaro – Queen Lays Claim to Orleans and Vasser!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – August 3069

Today, the Queen has announced that she is re-asserting her thrones authority over the southern territories of Orleans and Vasser, which were illegally sold to the Federation of Zardugal in 2920 by a the Republicans who took power through a coup. The queen has stated that;

'...the southern territories of Orleans and Vasser are the personal domains of the Lourenne throne and, since the Colonial Administration Act of 2790 was null and void after the Republicans coup, as per article 4, the Government had no right or claim to the territories, which as per article 1, belong to the Crown, not the state.

Article 5 states that only the throne can revoke this bill, it has never done this, that is why Emperor François charged loyal and pro-monarchy Colonial and Provincial officials in the Southern Territories, and the newly-formed Armée de la Vendée, to administer and defend Orléans and Vasser until the House of Orléans-Vasser returned to the Throne of Lourenne.

Therefore, when the Republican Government signed the Pact of Comity Between the Government of Lourenne and Zardic Federation, article 8 was void and illegal. The treaty has since been rescinded by the Empire and the southern territories are, once again, the personal domains of this throne.

I have sent requests to the Federation to begin the full and immediate withdrawal of their personnel from Orleans and Vasser. In 4 months, I shall ask my Government to re-merge the Lourennian military and the L'Armée de la Vendée, re-asserting Lourennian control of the southern states under my command. I have also named a new Vendée Directory to rule the southern territories in my name...'

So the Queen is preparing to merge the two armed forces, the L'Armée de la Vendée of course remained loyal to Emperor Francois and was asked by him to maintain the territories for his monarchy after the Republican coup. We have yet to hear any response from the Federation of Zardugal but with this monarch ready to take action before the end of the year and going completely public with the matter instantly, we have to believe the Queen is ready to assert her rights over her southern territories.

Le Figaro – Sovereign Prince Reveals 18 Year Old Son!
Saint-Pierre, Alvium – August 3069

Image
Immanuel, Sovereign Prince of Lourenne

Today, Sovereign Prince Immanuel revealed he has an 18 year old illegitimate child called, Françoise. The Sovereign Prince released this statement;

'...I am a 50 year old bachelor, no one would believe I have never had relations and especially with the nobility I engage with as part of the royal family. There is a woman in my life, a Duchess, who I am in love with and who I have a son with. She had the child 3 years before we went into exile due to the Democrats anarchy and I have asked the Queen to approve of our union and allow us to marry, to give my son legitimacy and my love meaning...'


Image
Françoise, Illegitimate child of the Sovereign Prince

The question on everybody's lips is, will the Queen bless the union and allow the Duchess and the Sovereign Prince to get married, no mention of the Duchess' name has been made, although there are rumours she is of the Lourennian, de Montesquieu, of the Duchy of Alvium. If the Queen does approve, we will have a Princess Consort and a presumptive heir to the Sovereign Prince.
