ARCHIVED: New Chancellor in Kannex

Jetzt ist das Jahr Zweitausenddrei.

Chancellor Hans Kreutzer, age 54, announced his retirement and resignation today from the post of Chancellor of the Reich. He will be replaced by his Vice-Chancellor, Torsten Kesler.

As head of the Liberal Party and Chancellor since 1996, Hans Kreutzer led Kannex into the new century. Kannexan regional power and involvement grew as it joined the North Pacific Treaty Organization and the Helmebaine Alliance. Kreutzer's government was crucial in securing independence for Rhuvanland and its successful defense during the Great War. Economically, Kreutzer kept most welfare programs intact but otherwise took a hands-off approach to the economy.

Syrixia commends Herr Kreutzer for his work both internationally and in Kannex and wishes the new Chancellor, Herr Kesler, the best of luck. Parliament has voted to award Herr Kreutzer with the Order of the Syrixian Republic, (OOC: Syrixia's highest award) if he so chooses to accept his invitation.

The people wish the best for former Chancellor Hans Kreutzer in his future endeavors. We look forward to working with Chancellor Torsten Kesler in future matters.
