His Royal Highness the Grand Prince will be awarded the medal and accoutrements of the Order along with the title Chevalier or Knight in a ceremony at the French Consulate in early November. The Grand Prince shall now be addressed as His Royal Highness Grand Prince Sir Roger, Knight of the Legion of Honour.

Around Kemetia
His Sovereign Majesty has severely criticised British ministers for their apparent hindrance of the Scottish elections, which eventual saw the Scottish National Party as victors. A report published today describe how voters had been 'treated as an afterthought' and the loss of 140,000 ballots. The King, in a letter today to the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, expressed his solidarity with the Scottish people and expressed his hopes for a more independent Scotland in the future. His Sovereign Majesty told the Kemetia Tribune that this election scandal is 'another British ploy to prevent the self-determination of free peoples and their right to choose their own governments.'

The King issued a Royal Decree in which he declared a State of Emergency in the North American Province of Kemetia in response to the growing threat from wildfires in California. His Sovereign Majesty will discuss the situation with MCA for the North American Province His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ian in an emergency meeting Thursday evening.

His Sovereign Majesty has issued an order stating that the National News Service publish the Kemetia Tribune daily to keep citizens up to date with occurrences in the Kingdom.

Lawmaking
The King spent the morning arranging for the publication of several Royal Decrees which he hopes will improve the lives of Kemetians throughout the Kingdom. His Sovereign Majesty's office set a release date of 31st October for their publication and we eagerly await their contents.

Around Kemetia
In response to the outrageous measures that have been proposed by the British government to cull badgers, the Ministry of the Interior has declared Kemetian territories to be 'safe zones' for the animals. Anyone found to be guilty of the unlawful killing of badgers within the Kingdom shall be fined the weight of the animal in silver.

His Sovereign Majesty has suggested a State of Emergency be temporarily assumed in Kemetia's North American Provinces until the rampant fires afflicting the California area are contained. So far, no Kemetian citizens have been hurt in the incidences.

The King publicly urged caution in the escalating conflict between Turkey and the Kurdish secessionist movement the PKK. His Sovereign Majesty condemned the recent violence and called for a peaceful resolution to be adopted.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown once again curtailed the freedoms of the British people today by denying them a referendum of the new EU treaty. As Kemetia worriedly watches her neighbour fall into the clutches of a totalitarian society, the King's government reminds us that the people of Kemetia have the right to have a referendum on any issue they please, an encourage citizens to take advantage of this freedom.

Kemetia endorses a Unified Jerusalem
Despite opposition from several members of the Consultative Assembly including the Prime Minister, Kemetia has formally given support to the proposal of a unified Jerusalem in which the Holy Sites of the city will be accessible to all and protected for future generations. The government hopes for a two state solution and will work with the relevant parties to accelerate the Peace Process.

Popularity soaring worldwide as the King discusses the future

21/10/07--FIRST CITY--

On Friday His Sovereign Majesty met with Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies and Finance Minister Arran Marais-Gilchrist to discuss the growing popularity of the Kingdom worldwide and how best to use this for the good of all Kemetians.

His Excellency the Prime Minister alerted His Sovereign Majesty to letters and petitions that had come to his office from Kemetian citizens resident in the Indonesian area requesting government endorsement of possible rallies and protests. His Sovereign Majesty was said to be extremely enthusiastic about the prospect, but cautioned that all protests should be non-violent, peaceful and abide by the laws of the nations in which they are occurring. Though the Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the current situation, Finance Minister Marais-Gilchrist did not embrace the idea, saying that 'it has the potential to be used by negative forces to the detriment of the nation.'

Meanwhile, the King delivered an official letter to the Prime Minister for the formation of a more extensive Cabinet. As a subject of high sensitivity, the Prime Minister's Office understandably did not respond to requests for more information, but His Sovereign Majesty said that he believes that 'the new Cabinet fully represents the wishes of the elected government of the people and of the Royal Court.'

On Thursday of this week, the King will be travelling to North America for the wedding celebrations of the Queen Mother Gillian and Dr. Richard Russell. While the titles of Dr. Russell are still being discussed among the family, His Sovereign Majesty is expected to grant him the title of Prince. During his visit the King will also be having meetings with the Crown Prince Ian to discuss his future as Defence Minister and his possible transfer to the Foreign Ministry. The Kemetia Tribune wishes the Queen Mother and Dr. Russell a joyous day and a happy and long future together.

During His Sovereign Majesty's absence, His Excellency the Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies shall exercise the powers of Regent.
