Greetings from Kantrias - The Land of the Sword and the Gavel!
Summer! What better way to enjoy the long days and warm weather than by sitting inside running a fictional country? It's been an exciting season in Kantrias with the election of Kantrias’ first Lady Chancellor, celebrating the sun with the Appleblossom festival, the start of the first Kantrian Regional Games, and a resurgent roleplaying renaissance sweeping the theatre district. So come and sit beside us on the lawn of life, friends, as we deliver to you the highlights of the sizzling Kantrian summer.
Exciting Elections - Close Contest sees Chancellor Chosen
The weather is hot but the Senate keeps its cool
Politics in Kantrias! What could be better? With the recent senate elections and a close race to appoint the first chancellor, the political scene is as lively and exciting as ever!
The biggest shake up to hit the Kantrian government came in to effect with the first election for the newly created position of Chancellor. The contest for the Chancellorship, a role which oversees the domestic ministries of the Interior and Culture, was incredibly tight, with candidates Amber and Magenta Fairy separated by only a single vote when the polls closed. Amber was elected Kantrias' first Lady Chancellor.
While the contest for the Chancellorship was electrifying, that wasn't the only electoral excitement to grip Kantrias. With four seats up for grabs, the Ninth Senate elections saw the election of Magenta Fairy, Lord Death, SPQR and Caldemar. The senate unanimously selected Lord Death to become Speaker.
The Noble Ninth Senate swept straight into business, discussing and approving the King and Chancellor's ministerial nominations. The King selected SPQR to be General of the RKA, Kazaman to head Foreign Affairs, and Lucy Delacroix to serve as Herald. Lady Chancellor Amber named Caldemar Leutria as her deputy and as Minister of Interior, and appointed Eliora Lockwood to oversee the culture portfolio.
The King awarded two long-time residents of Kantrias to for their service to the kingdom in his 4th State of the Realm Address. Lord Death aka Christopher Bishop was promoted from the rank Landgrave to Margrave, for his excellent and committed service in his role of General of the Royal Kantrias Army. Krimson Vulkia was granted the rank of Patrician due to his excellent track record as an attentive Minister of Foreign affairs and for his contribution and dedication to the Senate.
Treaty of Amity and Non-Aggression between The South Pacific and Kantrias was recently signed into law by the King and senate, strengthening ties between the two regions and serving as a base for future co-operation.
