New Duke Crowned, confirmed as CIL Grandmaster

2737 Edition

Finaly, after a very long period of deliberation, the country's most senior examiners on the question of nobility have determined that His Lordship Franz Jackson, Barron of Williamsborough, was the rightfull heir to the ducal throne of Geharon. Franz was crowned Duke yesterday in a huge celebration at the Hautberg Ducal palace overlooking Williamsborough. many notable guests were present including Chairman Jonathon Churchwood and Deputy Chair Gregory McGeorge from the Liberal Democratic Party, a long term ally of the League. Several Axis, IML and UCF dignitaries were also present.

Later the same day, His Grace was also recognized as the next Chairman of the Axis and the second Grandmaster of the Constitutionalist Imperial League. As his Vice-Master and with Sir Dale Primo stepping down, Lord Douglas Heartmore (GC) was chosen; Sir Jack Staunberg (GC) was chosen to be UCF governor on behalf of the League; Lord Edward Bane (GC) was chosen as Spokesman for the League. The ruling Geharon Conservative Party retained a strong lead in the elections accompanying the coronation and took 14 seats on the board of governors. The Homeland Libertarians took 4 seats, with not much success although a new president, Isaac Stevenson (HL). However, a new party that had gained prominence in recent local elections joined the League, the Luthori Free-Marketist Action or LFMA. The LFMA as a political group is said to represent the interests of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, a claim that has been verified to some extent by the ICC. It offers a more moderate and centrist approach on social issues while being staunchly free-marketeer. It is thought that this new faction could help usher in reform in the CIL.

Luthori business report

Hexlon joins ELTS

2738 Edition

Mordusian energy giant Hexlon Standard has recently taken interest into development possibilities in the Empire. Company representatives say that this is largely due to the lack of a corporate tax and very lax business regulations, which make Luthori an attractive target for foreign investors. After these declarations earlier this year, the company has finally decided to join the East Luthori Trade Syndicate, one of two Luthori corporate super-alliances. The trade bloc has contracted Hexlon for colonial development in The Raj, which remains largely undevelopped.

In a joint press conference, both the head of the ELTC, John Seymour and the Hexlon Executive for Luthori, Dick Carheim made statements on the advantages of joint development. "My company sees this as a golden opportunity to expand while in the same time bringing wealth and prosperity to the people of the Raj." said Mr Carheim. Mr Seymour also had positive comments: "This trading block welcomes our newest member. Currently, Bane holds a slight advantage in terms of profit and market share but we expect that advatage to disappear in the coming months." refering to the ELTC's rival, the Bane Conglomerate.

Propaganda warning from the ministry of defense!

2740

A special announcement has just come from the ministry of defense. The terrorist organization known as "Nova Terra" is distributing medi known as "Terra's Dawn". In it, the Saiserist criminals claim to have the appearances and timetables of His Imperial Majesty. The Imperial government would like to make clear that those timetables are entirely fictious and that even the photograph provided is not that of His Majesty. No common criminal could ever possess such sensitive information. As a general rule, it is quite safe to assume that everything that comes from "Terra's Dawn" is false and designed only as propaganda.

God bless His Majesty and the Empire.

Darnussia, Vorona outlaw Nova Terra

2740 Edition

The Darnussian Democratic republic and the Arch-duchy of Vorona are the latest states to outlaw the terrorist organization that calls itself "Nova Terra". It seems Darnussian warships have been dispatched to patrol water ways and keep the republic safe of pirates and terrorists. Imperial Seal-Bearer His Grace Franz Jackson, 2nd Duke of Geharon expressed his joy at the news: "we salute the proud Voronan and Darnussian people for their courage and resolution to fight global terrorism. we are seeing a global effort by many nations against this perfidious organization." The Seal-Bearer as speaking from Ashcroft air force base in Tinako where senior members of the Imperial government were inspecting the Imperial Air force.

Imperial fighter jets from the XXI, XXII and XXIII squadrons (all part of Air Battle Group Centauri) participated in a series of exercises. Battle Group Centauri is leaving for the Raj this evening to serve as a deterent to any terrorist forces in the area. Many high-placed defense executives have hinted that additional naval groups will also be deployed to the Raj among other places.

Heir to Duchy Born

2743 Edition

His Lordship, William Jackson II, Baron of Williamsborough, was born yesterday at St.Philips' Hospital in Williamsborough, the son of His Grace, Franz Jackson I and Her Grace Elizabeth Jackson. To avoid any succession problem whatsoever (like the ones he faced himself), His Grace has immediately confirmed his son as his heir apparent in front of the Court of Geharon.

Radio Free Terra to begin Broadcasting into Hobrazian Imperium From Central HQ in Fort William, Luthori

Image

Due to the reacent events happening around Terra, the Radio network famous in the history books for its ability to bring hope and comfort to those under the forces of evil in troubled times, has at last annouced its return.

Last operating during the Kennedy and NWO Choas, the station director has decided that R.F.T. shall begin broadcasting daily into nations around Terra that are under the control of Nova Terra.

While this has cause some questioning of "reason" in the Government of the Empire it calls home, with the Emperor having yet to comment on this recent event, the R.F.T. plans to begin its programs next in one week.

The reaction can only be assumed as the same it has been in the past, with the R.F.T. leading the charge as the voice of freedom and liberty from the forces of evil.
Long Live the Empire!!!!
And while we are at it, "Hail the Holy Britannian Empire!!!!!"
