4/12/06--STONERDALE CITY--
Four days ago, His Sovereign Majesty was given the unexpected advice by the military and the Advisory Council to postpone the General Elections until late January. This is partly in response to fears among these institutions that the General Elections would be used as an excuse to stage a popular rebellion by anti-Secessionist elements that may exist inside the population. Intelligence suggested that these forces would become active in undermining the government during the December month when the Parliament was not in session and while most officials are taking the winter off. A minority of MPs has been angry at the postponement and believes it to be another sign of the increasing influence of the military and the King's advisors on policy. It could be noted that since the initial planning stages of a rebellion have been uncovered these MPs are not being particularly supportive of the democratically elected government of Kemetia and may do well to reaffirm their loyalty. However, the Cabinet seemed satisfied with the Intelligence and Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies will remain the Head of Government until the election in late February. Meanwhile, we wish all citizens a Happy Holidays and a Good New Year.

Monarch Proclaims clean-up of Cabinet
11/10/06--STONERDALE CITY-- Today, the King made a surprise proclamation of what has been termed a 'clean-up' of the Cabinet. Apparently in the planning for some time, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have apparently made a scheme to increase the number of government posts to better facilitate the new influx in citizenry.
'To accommodate the needs of our increasing population, we must expand the Government. This means that more officials will be needed, but this will in turn allow for better administration of the nation.' He went on to reveal that a new Government Web Portal is under construction which will allow for a better democratic process. He also stated that he was currently exploring the possibility of trade and a treaty with the Principality of Byzantia.

Trip to Kemetia Springs by King results in Much News
6/08/2006-- KEMETIA SPRINGS--
Today, King Adam returned from the Kemetia Springs Province after a short visit to the area and talks with Crown Prince Ian, Minister of Justice Jon Paul Medved and other high ranking members of the government and Royal Family who reside there.
The meetings concentrated on current parliamentary power blocs, defense, justice, agriculture, and royal affairs of state.
Crown Prince Ian reiterated his commitment to government stability and defense saying that "the current situation in the Parliament must be solved to combat any future problems that may be encountered due to a split of ideas between it's members. We must unite to fight the greater threats from the outside."
The "split of ideas" refers to the small conflict that occurred between Crown Prince Ian's party the NDP and Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies party the SDP over the Middle East conflict. It is unclear what the "threats from the outside" are, but it is clear that in his capacity as Defence Minister, Prince Ian had lengthy talks with the King and his staff that resulted in increased funding being diverted to the Defence and Justice Ministries. It is thought that the MoD is preparing for any eventualities that may occur due to the aggressive stance on National and International Security of the King of late.
Minister Medved was also given permission to found the Committee on Un-Kemetian Activities to help fight dangerous terrorist and foreign influences that have infiltrated the country lately. His and Prince Ian's commitment to fighting enemy forces at work inside Kemetia has been admirable and much praise should be bestowed upon them.
Later in the tour, King Adam appointed a Commander of the Air Force, but details remain undisclosed for the time being. He will be confirmed at a later date.
The tour also included the reappointment of the Head of the Olympic Committee Christopher Knoepke, who had been deposed earlier that year.
Meeting and celebration were also held with Prince John and Princess's Jan and Meredith. Agriculture is also confirmed as "running smoothly" by Prince John after the hops shortage of late 05 in which hops production was seriously effected by drought.
A celebratory raft ride was also undertaken by the King and his family (and staff) which was much enjoyed by all.

A Heated Exchange
13/07/2006-- STONERDALE CITY--
A heated exchange has occured between Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies and High Vizier Prince Ian over the issue of the current situation in the Middle East. The dissagreement happened when a communication intended for the Sovereign King about the state of foreign affairs was routed to all government officials due to an error on the Kemetian Telecomunication Network (which has since been resolved).
The text of the communication has not been disclosed, but it appears that in an unofficial capacity, the Prime Minister complained of the pro-Israel stance of the government in a way that would be generally thought of as unfitting for someone of his position. In a telephone conversation, His Majesty informed the Prime Minister of his views and of the fact that the communication had been sent on to all in the government.
When the High Vizier Prince Ian received the communication, he was outraged at the informal and somewhat "sparring" language of the Prime Minister and wrote him a formal letter of complaint. Later today, during the sessions of the Royal Parliament, he asked for "a vote of No Confidence in Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies" stating that "his values and judgement have proven to be questionable as of late." A heated debate followed.
The Sovereign King suggest a reconciliation meeting between the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince saying that "If it does come to an impeachment, it would be impossible to impeach the Prime Minister with the Royal Parliament because that would require a 2/3 majority for the motion, which could not be achieved because of the SDP holding too many seats. A case could be brought for high treason, but I seriously doubt the PM has done anything to merit such a trial." He reiterated his government's commitment to peace and justice and pushed for peaceful meetings between the two sides.
Although a favourable outcome has been obtained, this incident has shown that although the two major parties (SDP and NDP) are similar in some respects they can have their differences.

The 4th Constitution
08/07/2006--STONERDALE CITY--
Today, the 4th Constitution of the Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia was presented before the Royal Parliament for debate, amendments, and approval. The long awaited new constitution will replace the redundant 3rd and hopefully usher in a new era of constitutional law and peace. Certain guarantees of this constitution have never been made in the past and it is believed that the Cabinet has tried to create a document which covers all eventualities in keeping with the liberal policies of the Prime Minister and the King.
Although the document will probably be ratified in early September, it has initially been given a warm reception in the debating chamber and approved by Grand Prince Roger, Deputy Chair of the New Delegation Party.

Constitution Crisis
03/07/06--STONERDALE CITY--
After reviewing all possibilities, the current constitution has been dissolved and a new one is to be formed.
King Adam was granted Emergency Powers by the Royal Parliament and dissolved the 2nd Constitution. It was deemed too concerned with governance and less with the people. A 3rd Constitution was briefly formed but dissolved after it started to show "command structure weaknesses."
The 4th Constitution is in development and should be completed by the Parliament soon. Meanwhile, the King will retain his Emergency Powers until 8.00 am this morning and then relinquish them to the Parliament.

Land Claim Successful
From 22/06/2006 --RIVER PLYM--
An expedition has been completed down the River Plym in which a small island was added to the Kingdom.
The as-yet un-named isle was first explored by a team led by the ex-Treasurer Ashley Bray and shortly followed by teams consisting of the Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies and King Adam himself to inspect the claimed land.
Currently, several names are being considered (Braya Isle the most popular at the moment), however it is unclear whether Mr. Bray wishes to have the island named after himself.
The debate over names will continue on the forum, but this is truly a great day for the expansion on the Kingdom.
