Kantrias Regional Update
UPDATE VIII
18th of March, 2013
Regional Population: 202
Greetings from Kantrias - The Land of the Sword and the Gavel!
Ah! Spring is in the air! And what better way is there to celebrate new life than with, you guessed it, a new senate! But that's not all Kantrias is doing to celebrate this scintillating season, as we launch in to the activity filled Cherry Blossom festival, crown a short story contest winner, and sweep to victory in a number of skillfully timed military machinations. So read on, friends, and let us take you on a proverbial skip through the spring meadow which is Kantrias!
Electric Electioneering - The Fifth Senate Elected!
The Fifth Senate Elected, Selected, and Dissected
Elections, huh? It just seems like a month ago I was here telling you about the last lot. Wait.. it was a month ago? Well that must mean it's time for the election of the Fifth Senate! And of course with a new senate we need new ministerial nominations. And heck, why not throw in a new High Tribunal Justice as well! Spring is a time for new beginning after all!
The election for the fifth senate saw a strong mix of experienced hands and newcomers vying for the four incredibly comfy seats up for grabs. Edward Leben, Jimothy Wright, Krimson Vulika and Caldemar Leutria, all experienced senators, claimed the seats, despite an excellent showing by newcomer Valfor.
The senate moved swiftly to the business at hand, electing Jimothy Wright to the role of senate speaker, before swiftly moving on to the approving the King's ministerial nominations.Christopher Bishop returned as General of the Royal Kantrian Army, along with Queen Eliora Lockwood to the role of Minister for Culture. SPQR was appointed minister of the Interior and Krimson Vulika was selected to take on the mantle of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The second piece of business for the senate was to approve the King's nomination to fill the free spot in the Kantrian High Tribunal. Edward Leben was selected by the king for his sound legal mind and soon joined the Tribunal as the newest justice.
Capital Culture - We'll put a spring in your step!
Cherryblossom festival: Involves a lot of Cherryblossoms
Spring has indeed sprung in Kantrias, and the Ministry of Culture was quick to celebrate by launching the inaugural Cherryblossom festival! But that's not all that's happened in the realm of regional culture, as the results for the Folklore Short Story completion votes are released.
The Cherryblossom festival! Birds in the trees, wind in your hair! Spring! After the cold days of winter, it's definitely something to celebrate! The Kantrian fairgrounds are buzzing with spring based activities, ranging from story and poetry competitions, games and chat, to all manner of other seasonally based diversions! The festival is open to all, so come and apply for fast tracked cultural visa and take a look!
The second Kantrian short story competition, Folklore and Fireside Tales, has finished with a bang, with a winner announced after three excellent entries were engaged in a close race for the top spot. After an exhaustive public vote that was, as usual, riven with ties and deadlocks, Cerian Quilor's short story was declared the winner, with Eliora Lockwood coming second and Caldemar Leutria coming third.
Royal Army Rumble - The RKA Takes to the Field
Regions, Castles..uh.. Pokemon... The RKA catches them all!
What's the most dangerous thing about spring? Pollen?...No! I'm talking about that redoubtable fighting force known as the Royal Kantrian Army of course! This month has seen the forces of Kantrias aid raids, co-operate on conquests, and generally just remain active across the board.
The month started with an excellently timed series of raids which saw The United Defense Directorate, independent Nations of Minnesota, and Singapura falling in very quick succession.
Forces of the RKA also aided Europeia in their conquest and occupation of the Greater German Reich aligned region Newsman. At the same time Kantrian troops, with the able assistance of Ainur, captured the Region of Discordia. In another allied movement, the Royal Kantrian army aided The New Inquisition in the conquest of Scotland.
And finally The Free Land was captured as a surprise tribute to Kantrias' favourite general, Christopher Bishop.
And that's the Kantrias Regional Update - Goodnight and Goodluck!
