VARISTAD - Her Majesty Shahbanu Julianna I of the Felinist Republic of Barmenia has announced a grand exhibition, called the Royal Barmenian Fair. The exhibition, consisting of a series of conferences, festivals and celebrations, shall begin on March 1st, 3512, and will be hosted primary around the Republic's capital of Varistad.
The conference series' theme is to vitalize and celebrate Barmenian and Northern Majatran culture and tradition, as well as encouraging a discussion of how ancient traditions can be merged into the ways of a 36:th century liberal democracy. Present will be representatives of the civil society such as local history societies, paramilitaries, advocacy groups, the Queranz church, the High Priesthood of the Temple of Lions, representatives of the republican institutions and the Queen herself. The primary force behind the Fair is the Banehawk/Mede Consortium, an “advocacy group” of influential intellectuals, businessmen, priests and ideologues working for the interests of Barmenia's Knsal (Consul), Eyaan Banehawk, and for the preservation of the monarchy under the Mede Dynasty.
The main sessions are as follows:
* Why Barmenia is a Republic
Representatives of Her Majesty's Government will discuss the topic of republicanism and monarchism, and explain how Barmenia can have a Royal House as Jezmrjkais (Great Protectors) of the Felinist Republic and still maintain it's republican system of government.
* Barmenia: The greenest and most libertarian country of Majatra
Here, representatives of the Lionist Vanguard will discuss the latest domestic political developments and explain how their libertarian conservative and environmentalist ideology has made Barmenia the greenest and most liberal country on the Majatran continent.
* The March of Vanuku - our birthright
Discussions will revolve around Barmenias annexation of Vanuku - why this is justified - and how peaceful and prosperous Mrjstat Wrnuke has become since a Barmenian administratin took over.
* 275 years of struggle for freedom - The Crimson Crusade
This session will centre around the history and current activities of the International Crimson Crusade as well how countries can benefit from having an independent, privatized military sector.
