Particracy II Roleplay - World News

Postby EdwardBishop » Thu Mar 17, 2011 6:56 am

The United Kingdom of Kruzil & Navaras announces to the nations of Terra that it has moved its official state capital from the (former federal republic's) financial capital of Florinzia (our national currency is the Florin), which is located between the Duchy of Hantonne, and the Archduchy of Navaras.

It is now to be relocated to the historical capitol of Imperial Navara, which has been most recently, the regional capital of the Archduchy (region) of Navaras, whose local government has relocated to the Archducal Seat outside the Capital to make room for the incoming government,

A great effort is being put into making the ancient city into a glorious metropolitan capital, and the Ambassadors of the Nations throughout Terra are being invited to tour the city and establish their embassies there...

((OOC: For those interested, the historic precedent is the 'modern' (as opposed to the midieval) Kingdom of Italy's decision to move the Capital from Florence to Rome))

Some notable locales and events throughout the city:

The city's oldest structure, the Lighthouse of Navaras looks out over the Straight of Navaras...
Image
The ancient Imperial Palace, in the heart of the city, has been restored as the Royal Palace for House Venhorst, who has up until now been residing in the former Presidential Palace in Florinzia,
Image
The restored Metropolitan Opera House is hosting a grand premier where the Monarch is said to attend... members of Royalty and Nobility throughout Terra are invited, and are promised to be accomidated in the Rooms of the Royal Palace and granted audiences with the Monarchy...
Image
The ancient Senate House has been restored for use by the House of Peers...
Image
Newly Constructed Orange-Aquitaine Hall, was constructed for use by the House of Commons, and other Government Functionaries including the Suites of the Royal Council...
Image
Finally, the Grand Cathedral & Basilica of St. Peter of Navara, has been restored and reopened to the public,

*a point of interest burried somewhere in the middle pages of the newspapers*
Some reports indicate increasing distaste for the government in Hantonne for its movements privilging Navaras...

Quicho and Talmor close to peace agreement

Image
Former Lord Chancellor, the Lord Crawford of Olmdale, was instrumental in negotiating the peace agreement

Our top story tonight: 10 Crown Street has announced that the negotiations at Chessers to forge a peace treaty between Talmor and Quicho are nearing conclusion. The talks to end a decades-lasting state of conlfict between Meiru's Commonwealth partner and its longstanding ally were started under the Reitz Ministry, but abandoned for a while. Previous Lord Chancellor Lord Crawford, who was honoured with a knighthood in the Order of St. Anthony and St. Cristopher for his efforts, continued the talks after dealing with rising Sogonan-Quichon tensions to create stability in the region.

The draft treaty includes agreements resolving the claims to the Quichon Throne and provisions for the liberalisation of Quichon politics. Meiru, whose arbitration was vital in securing it, acts as guardian of the agreement, promising to monitor the liberalisation efforts.

Lord Chancellor Malka Carver hailed the reached agreement as a victory for diplomacy. Speaking outside Crown Street, she said the following:

The Mt Hon. Malka Carver MP (CD) - Lord Chancellor
"I am quite pleased with the agreement as it stands. The conflict has been a difficult one for Meiru, caught in the middle as it was, and I think we can all be glad that the end is now in sight. Thanks in a large part to Lord Crawford's diplomatic skills, there now is an agreement that is not only agreeable, but also beneficial to all sides. The guarantees on the democratic process in Quicho will not just reduce the likelihood of conflicts like the one they've had with Talmor and Sogona, but also make life better for our fellow Commonwealth citizens. We are still waiting for the final signatures, but as it looks now there shall be peace in our time."


And in other news, the Government is preparing to present legislation to implement the programme outlined in the King's Speech...

MPR Election 2410

Image

8:55pm
Arthur Dragonpen: "Good evening, and welcome to Election Night on MPR. In 5 minutes, the polls will close, and we'll be able to start an exciting night in which we find out how the people's verdict has been cast this time. Joining me in the studio with our results team, being brought in the fastest, most reliable service, we'll be hearing the facts from Robin Nicholson, our political editor, Nicholas Winter, who will show off his latest technical wizardry to bring you the results, and reporters across the country with all the party leaders."

9pm
Arthur Dragonpen: "It's 9pm, the voting's done and we can give you the result of our exit poll. It seems the Tories retain their plurality and expand it just a little bit, as they have won quite a few former EAP voters over. On this swing, the figures look as follows:"

Christian Democrats: 170 seats
Liberals: 168 seats
Labour: 162 seats


"Robin, how does this look to you?"

Robin Nicholson: "It's still an exit poll and those can be horribly wrong, but as it looks now, there's not too many surprises here. The Tories have been ahead for some time leading up to this election, no doubt cashing in on the Chancellorship bonus and the resolution of the Talmorian-Quichon conflict."

Arthur Dragonpen: "We expect Larking, in Greater Mystur, to be the first to declare, as it did a few times earlier. And now, over to party headquarters."

10:22pm
Nicholas Winter: "And, as you see, the swing is..."

Arthur Dragonpen: "Hold on, we're getting the Larking declaration now."

Returning Officer
I, Stuart John Miller, being the acting Returning Officer for the Parliamentary Election held on the 22nd of March 2410 in the constituency of Larking, do hereby give notice that the number of votes cast for each candidate is as follows:

Niall C. Olde, Independent, 56 votes.
Imelda Haroldson, the Tory candidate, 2,353 votes
Tim Bim Lin, the Monster Raving Looney Party Candidate, 123 votes
George Ilford, the Liberal candidate, 6,074 votes
Patrick Gunn, the Labour candidate, 12,174 votes

And I hereby do declare that the said Patrick Gunn has been duly elected to serve as a Member of Parliament for the Larking constituency.


LARKING: LAB HOLD (2% swing LIB to LAB)

To be continued.

MPR News

Lord Chancellor to form government with liberals

Good evening and welcome to the MPR News at six. Our top story tonight: after talks with the Navaron Royalist League failed to commence, Lord Chancellor Malka Carver (CD) has announced that she will, in accordance with an earlier statement, not resign her office. Instead, she will attempt to secure parliamentary support for the current coalition, either expanded with the Royal Labour Party or with confidence and supply provided by Labour. According to most political commentators, this will mean that the current government will most likely continue on its previous programme.

Meiru was landed in this situation after the government lost their majority in a second election in the span of two years, which was unexpectedly called. Missing out by one seat and with the largest coalition party losing the plurality, the Lord Chancellor then said she would pursue talks with the NRL. Now these talks have failed, she says she has no other option than to work around the plurality party.

The Lord Chancellor said today that she preferred a confidence-and-supply arrangement with Labour.

John McClythe
Lord Chancellor, are you worried about the legitimacy of your government?

Mt Hon. Malka Carver MP (CD) - Lord Chancellor
One does not exclude the plurality party lightly, but it is my duty to provide this nation with a strong and stable government. There is a lot that I thought my party and the Navaron Royalists could agree on, but if the talks never get off the ground, I am left with no choice. Again, it is not taken lightly. My preference would be a minority government of Tories and Liberals, backed up in confidence and supply by Labour. That way, we can assume the humility needed in this situation while still providing this nation with an effective government.

John McClythe
Isn't this you holding on to power?

Malka Carver
No. Nobody's suggesting that and if after the next election we won't get the plurality, we will go through this process again. In my party, the will is not lacking.

John McClythe
So the Lord Chancellor denies all political motives. Inside sources suggest she is sincere in that, but who knows? This parliament is far from over.

Stock Market Boom
Florintia, United Kingdom of Kruzil & Navaras

April 13th 2413
Economists throughout Terra suspect the reason for the recent boom is due to rise of the Florin ( ƒ ), as well as the the recent privatization of the United Kingdom's largest corporation, Kruzilian Estates, producer & exporter of fine wines, cheeses, truffles and other luxury agriculture products, which spurred the growth of the nation's markets across all sectors. Kruzilian Estates is now speculated to be valued at just over ƒ60,800,000,000 at current market values...

July 24th, 2413

In an effort to take advantage of the Boom in the Kruzilian Markets, the Government has announced the return of the Florin ( ƒ ) to its historic basis upon the Gold Standard... Gold Florins are being minted now by the Royal Mint that contain the precise amount of weight required by law, 1/10th of a Troy Ounce...
Full Conversion is scheduled to be completed by October 31st, 2413...

Leader of the Liberals steps down, replaced with backbencher


Image
Roman Parker, the new Leader of the Liberal Party

Our top story tonight: The leader of the Liberal Party, Sir Thad Cade has stepped down and he has been replaced Roman Parker. Parker is a 67-year-old backbencher representing New Forest West and Oldham in Tarkos. Cade stepped down as leader because of his old age and he wishes to spend more time with his family. It is unknown if the coalition discussions will continue between the Liberals, Tories and Labour. Here is what Parker said at the short news conference held after the announcement.
The Hon. Roman Parker MP (Lib)
I haven't spoken with the Lord Chancellor, and I shall wait for her to reach out to me. I am willing, and always have been willing to work with the Royal Labour Party as well as the Tories. Regardless of what happens I plan on following the legislative programme outlined in our manifesto.


And now, with the financial reports from across Meiru and Terra…

Lord Chancellor Retires
Waldorf Saint-Peters, Viscount of Hantonne, & Viceroy for King Augustin I, announced that while he will remain as Viceroy, he is retiring from his post as Lord Chancellor, which he has occupied for the last 15 years. His successor shall be His Most Noble Grace, Adan Kaiser, 1st Archduke of Navaras. Prior to the Venhorst Restoration, which he greatly supported through both political and financial means, Adan Kaiser had served as Mayor of Navara, and was already one of the largest landowners in Navaras even before his most recent ennoblement. Genealogical research shows that House Kaiser descends from an ancient noble line extending as far back as the patriciate of the ancient Navaron Empire...

Royal Councilor of Justice Passes Away Suddenly, Age 62
Image
Lord Kraig Lamar, 1st Baron Delacourt passed away May 1st, 2414, after suffering a fatal heart attack. Baron Delacourt was educated in the study of law at the University of Navaras. After graduating he served as a clerk to the Chief Magistrate of the City, eventually taking over as Chief Magistrate himself. His support of the Venhorst Restoration from within the legal Court System led to his being ennobled by King Augustin I in his first round of ennoblements upon taking the Throne. From then, till his death, he served in the Houe of Peers within the Estates-General. Two years after his ennoblement and entrance to the House of Peers, he became the Royal Councilor for Justice in the United Kingdom of Kruzil & Navaras, a position which also entitled him to Chair the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

A man dedicated to his career and causes, he leaves behind no legitimate heir. His successor, Dr. Chadwick Weir, L.L.D., currently a member of the House of Commons and Dean of the College of Law at the University of Hantonne, will be enobled as 2nd Baron Delacourt, in honor of the late Baron's legacy...
