HER ROYAL MAJESTY QUEEN ÉLÉONORE SAILS FOR LOURENNE
Royal wedding to be held soon

VOUBAIX NAVAL BASE, SEPTEMBER 2, 4535


As is tradition, the bride-to-be is to travel to her future husband's home for the wedding. Her Majesty Queen Éléonore departed Voubaix Naval Base only minutes ago on board NKSM Soleil Royal towards the distant lands of Lourenne alongside her family, the prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, her courtiers, a few hundred guests and her pet dog Lafitte and escorted by three Marine Royale vessels: the destroyer NKSM Gloire, the cruiser NKSM Foudre and the new battlecruiser NKSM Royaume de Kanjor which will split off from the group halfway through the voyage to participate in naval exercises.

Her Majesty and her guests are set to arrive in Avienne-les-Bains, Outannais, in a few days time. From there they will travel to the capital of Lourenne for the ceremony, something which is sure to be a grand spectacle and is expected to be viewed by hundreds of millions across the globe.

The wedding is set to take place against a backdrop of both international tension, as relations between Kanjor and Keymon reach an all-time low, and increased cooperation between the Kingdom of Kanjor and the United Kingdom of Lourenne, who are to hold military exercises together in the coming days, as well as share expertise, training and know-how in naval matters. It is clear that ties between Kanjor and Lourenne are strengthening even further, as these two glorious nations lead Canrillaise culture into the future.

PARTI SOCIALISTE KANJORIENNE CELEBRATES TEN-YEAR EXISTENCE
Kanjor transformed in a decade

LA COURONNE, JUNE 1, 4536


The tenth yearly party congress of the Parti Socialiste Kanjorienne was a special one, for the party celebrated both its ten-year existence as well as its leadership over Kanjor for the past decade.

The party was founded on June 1, 4526 by the now-celebrated Duc de Numineux, who has been our beloved prime minister for a decade, in the hopes of transforming a nation which had crumbled due to decades of fascism, communism and general mismanagement into a shining jewel of culture, prosperity and advancement. It is safe to say that after ten years of investments, legislation and tax reform, as well as thorough effort by every Kanjorien, Kanjor has transformed from a dilapidated backwater to a nation that now commands international respect, fosters healthy business ties, and maintains its economic growth as one of the highest on the continent.

The congress was opened by deputy chairman and minister of foreign affairs Fournier, the marquis de Sens. During a stirring speech in which he congratuled and praised the prime minister, several notable statistics were listed; poverty is down, the health and development index of the nation rises year after year, average income per capita has increased almost exponentially, and faith in Kanjor's institution has returned now that they're under the command of sensible politicians.

The closing speech was held by the prime minister himself, in which he emphasized the need for all Kanjori citizens to remain united behind the monarchy, the PSK and its policies. "Only together," he said "can we continue Kanjor's rise to glory. Only together can we return our nation to its rightful place in the world. Only together can we rebuild what has been lost. Together we are strong."

SOCIÉTÉ NATIONALE DES CHEMINS DE FER KANJORIENS TO CONSTRUCT HIGH-SPEED NETWORK
Department capitals to be connected in first stage

LA COURONNE, JANUARY 29, 4537


The increased economic growth of Kanjor has put growing pressure on the obsolete transportation network of the nation. The Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Kanjoriens (SNCK) has therefore embarked on an expansion and modernization program set to overhaul the nation's existing rail lines and expand them to meet future demand. The first major step of this new network is to connect all department capitals by high-speed rail (with the two department capitals on the isle of La Tondelle to be connected to each other, as well as adequate port services).

In due time this network will expand beyond the department capitals and include other major cities of the nation, with additional (normal speed) track to be constructed between important agricultural/industrial areas, ports, airports and cities. It is hoped this new network will reinvigorate the movement of both goods and people across the nation, as well as help in the plans of the government to encourage tourism to all parts of Kanjor.

The first rail spike is to be driven by the prime minister himself in a ceremony tomorrow, beginning construction of the line between La Couronne and Val Royeaux.

KANJOR RECEIVES THREAT FROM KEYMON
Armed forces step up modernization program

VOUBAIX, JUNE 19, 4537


The ministry of foreign affairs has received a message from the illegitimate government of Keymon, stating the following:
Kanjor’s threats against Keymon have been duly noted and will be considered when we open a military base on the Seleyan continent. Hopefully, it will be on your border so that we can guarantee your anti-Keymon attacks will not occur any longer.

This message amounts to nothing more than a threat against the Kingdom of Kanjor. which has seemingly no basis in reality.

The government of Keymon, which came to power through an illegitimate coup, has been condemned by the government of Kanjor for its blatant dictatorial behavior and subversion of the democratic process of the island nation. Civil rights are being curtailed, vast databases are being set up to store all citizens's DNA, and free and fair elections are a thing of the past.

Kanjor, which has declared its neutrality in current and future international conflicts, still has a duty to promote civil, human and political rights across the world through dialogue and economic pressure. Our nation has repeatedly stated that any breach of the democratic process by any nation is unacceptable to the people of Kanjor.

To counter this growing, erratic threat from Keymon, the government has announced its plans to speed up all its military modernization. The upgrading and expansion of the Marine Royale is nearing its completion, and the air force is set to be the next major focus of the plan.

Furthermore, forts continue to be built alongside the northern border as well as near strategic locations on the coastline. The government has officially increased the state of readiness for the armed forces to guard against any possible threat from Keymon while also stating that Kanjor's armed forces exist only for the defense of the nation, and foreign expeditions or conquest run "counter to the soul of the nation".

QUEEN AND PRINCE-CONSORT RETURN HOME
Kanjor and Lourenne; united towards the future

VOUBAIX, JUNE 1, 4538


After last month's royal wedding the happy couple has at last returned to Kanjori soil where they were greeted by large, adoring crowds. In Voubaix, the couple will board a train that will take them to all major metropolitan areas in mainland Kanjor to share with the people their happiness, and their hopes for increased cooperation between Kanjor and Lourenne.

"Where there was once emnity, there is now friendship. Where there was once division, there is now unity." her majesty said to the cheering crowd while flanked by Kanjorien and Lourennaise flags.

The government has stated that Lourenne is quickly becoming one of Kanjor's strongest allies, and that "together Kanjor and Lourenne can overcome any threat, from natural disasters to tinpot island dictators" in a clear reference to the recent diplomatic crisis between Kanjor and Lourenne on one side and Keymon on the other.

QUEEN GIVES BIRTH TO A SON
Royal succession is safe

LA COURONNE, DECEMBER 17, 4539


Her Majesty Queen Éléonore has given birth to a healthy baby boy early this morning.

The Queen, who had become pregnant several months after her wedding to Prince Auguste, was rushed to the hospital at approximately 3 AM when she started experiencing contractions. Slightly before the due date (about a week) the queen, and the nation, were blessed with a male heir. The newborn prince thus encompasses the hope of not only the royal family, but also that of two nations; Kanjor and Lourenne.

The birth of the heir to the throne of Kanjor is the culmination of years of intensive diplomacy between the two kingdoms, in an effort to unite the two remaining Canrillaise monarchies under the same family.

Shortly following the birth, the child's name was also announced: Prince Antoine Louis Philippe d'Orléans-Vasser-Deux-Rivières.

RETRAITE-DU-ROI NUCLEAR PLANT OPERATIONAL
Kanjor enters the nuclear era

RETRAITE-DU-ROI, JUNE 9, 4540


Almost six years after construction began on the Retraite-du-Roi nuclear reactor it has finally been completed. Construction was officially finalized at 6 am this morning, and what follows are two weeks of intensive testing and checking by nuclear experts appointed by the Société Nationale de l'Énergie Kanjorienne before the power station can officially open.

This achievement is not to be underestimated, and many view it as culmination of the economic and technological growth the nation has experienced in the past two decades thanks to the policies and stability implemented by the Parti Socialiste Kanjorienne. Through this power station, Kanjor joins the other nuclear power states in the world and leaves behind a past of chaos, instability and economic malaise. Not only is this an achievement for the nation, it is even more so one of the Université Royale de Toussaint who have managed to design and build a working nuclear reactor without foreign help.

If the Retraite-du-Roi nuclear power station proves to be a success (taking into account its modest size), expectations are the government will increase spending in R&D for bigger, more efficient nuclear power plants in the hopes of eventually phasing out coal- and gas-powered power stations.

ARNO VICTOR DORIAN TO RETIRE AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS OF PARTY AND NATION LEADERSHIP
Kanjor set to lose founder of the monarchy

LA COURONNE, JUNE 13, 4540


Prime Minister Dorian has announced that he will not seek re-election as prime minister in the upcoming 4542 elections in a press conference in La Couronne today. This announcement came as a shock to many Kanjori citizens, as well as many PSK members.

Arno Victor Dorian, Duc de Numineux, founder of the PSK, founder of the re-established Kingdom of Kanjor, and national hero for returning stability, prosperity and basic human dignity to the people of Kanjor, will celebrate his 65th birthday in 4542 and seems to want to use this occasion to officially end his public commitments and start his well-deserved retirement.

When he became prime minister, Kanjor had just come out of yet another period of instability marked by fascism, communism, a brief rule of a crazy self-declared monarch and a lack of government authority over most of our sovereign territory. Now, almost 15 years later, the nation has become unrecognizable to most. Nuclear power is set to power our homes. railroads are being built, tourism is on the rise, the military is once again a respectable force in the region, and Kanjor has found friends amongst other nations while also declaring and defending its international neutrality.

The Duc de Numineux's tenure as prime minister is sure to be remembered for generations to come, as he moves from politics to the history books.

Expectations are that the deputy chairman of the PSK, the current minister of foreign affairs Patrick Fournier, Marquis de Sens, will stand for prime minister in the next election.
