King Alexander II to Leave NS

Last week, Alexander II, former King of UK, announced his departure from the region and from NationStates. Alexander made a speech to the people of UK thanking them for their friendship and loyalty while citing his entry into the Armed Forces as his main reason for departing. King Alexander has long been a pillar of the UK community, working his way up through the ranks before joining the Royal Family. King Alexander will be remembered by the people of United Kingdom as one of the greatest Monarchs in the region's history. Following the funeral of Alexander, the coronation of Prince Edward promptly occurred. As the monarchy always will, it continued once more to another illustrious member of our region. His Royal Highness is among the most qualified for the role and will ensure a safe transition. Prince Edward's first Prime Minister is George de Clare, who eagerly awaits to work with his new and glorified King. The coronation will took place in Westminster Abbey under the directory of Archbishop George de Clare.




Prime Minister Steps Down from Bench

Newly elected Prime Minister, George de Clare, recently announced that he will be stepping down from his position of Senior Associate Justice of the UK court. Mr. de Clare ran with the clear intention of staying on the bench if also elected to 10 Downing Street. Although no law in the region prohibited the move, several members of the region cited separation of powers as a reasoning against such action. After handily winning the election for Prime Minister, Mr. de Clare stated that he would indeed remain on the bench throughout his term as Prime Minister, but several days later, after stiff opposition, changed his mind and resigned from the bench. Mr. de Clare leaves behind a legacy of fairness, aptitude and swift action from his time on the bench, traits that many in UK hope that he will bring to 10 Downing Street.



Citizens Continue to Support a Divided Parliament

In the recent general election held in United Kingdom, the citizenry took to the polls and once again elected a divided Parliament. For the past several terms, no one party has been able to grasp a tight control over the majority of Parliament, and while some parties have achieved so through bi-election mid term, this 24th Session of Parliament is to start off at a dead heat. With the 5 elected seats of Parliament, the Conservative Party held one, while the Independent Alliance won three and the Labour Party ran unopposed for one victory. King Alexander II then named two Conservative Party members to the appointed Lords position, and the deadlock was held. The citizens of UK now face a bi-election for the seat of Northern Ireland from which Jacob Stewart recently resigned in order to take a position on the bench. So far, one member of the Independent Alliance and one member from the Labour Party have expressed interest in running.




Notice from the UK Foreign Affairs Office

Greetings,

The people of United Kingdom send their well wishes and greetings to our friends and allies across NationStates. Recently, a number of embassies in our region were archived due to severe inactivity, meaning that no posts had been made in the respective embassies within the last two months. While we understand that people are often busy with real life and outside forces, we request that ambassadors serving in UK post within their respective embassies at least once per month. If for some reason you return to UK to find our embassy has been archives, we invite you to simply re-apply.

We thank you for your understanding and your continued friendship with the people of UK.


Yours,
His Majesty's Government of UK
