A new Prince of Wales!
Recently former Prince of Wales Michael R.E. Stewart resigned from the position citing real life preventing him from being active enough to fulfill the role. HM the King Edward IX thereafter appointed his only son William Cavendish to be the next Prince of Wales who is a member of the royal family he just chooses to take a different last name.. The region thanks Michael for all of his hard work and service.
Ah election season, a time for the government to ensure that it has the mandate of the people. This term it is clear which party has the people’s mandate, the newest party of the region, the British Centrist Party. This party accepts citizens from both sides of the political spectrum and has swept all elected seats during this recent general election. So for Prime Minister we had Jacob M. Stewart running against Ali G. with Jacob winning reelection easily with a vote of twenty-two to one. For Parliament we had George Marlborough running unopposed, Edwin T.C. Astor running against Ali G. winning twenty-one to one, Andrew M.T. Callaway running unopposed, Jacob M. Stewart running unopposed, and Charles Callaway running against Niklaus Mikaelson with Charles winning sixteen to eight. We also had three Constitutional Amendments this term, Constitutional Amendments XX, XXI, and XXII, with XX and XXI both passing and XXII passing with the government apparently going to try again at the next General Election.
Appointments
Soon after winning the premiership, Prime Minister Jacob M. Stewart reappointed Bill Dearheart as Deputy Prime Minister, Vaculatestar Mikaelson as Foreign Secretary a position he has held for five terms now and Home Secretary a position that he is serving his second term as. Former Prince of Wales Michael R.E. Stewart as Defence Secretary, Daniel Scott as Culture Secretary, Edwin Astor as Director of MI5 and as Attorney General.
In Parliament, His Majesty King Edward IX has appointed Nigel Farage, Earl of Buckingham , and Michael R.E. Stewart, Duke of Northumberland, to the House of Lords.

The British Armed Forces
The British Armed Forces under the direction of Defence Secretary Prince Michael R.E. Stewart has begun running training missions into warzones and also has begun to work with the other defender regions/organizations liberating regions taken by hostile raider/imperial forces with its’ latest notable mission being part of the victory under the command of Major Vaculatestar Mikaelson over fascist forces in The Coalition of Leftist Comrades. Other regions/organizations having taken part of the operation were The Lazarus Liberation Army (LLA), The United Defenders League (UDL), Spiritus Defense Force (SDF), The East Pacific Sovereign Army (EPSA), Texas, Equilism's E-Army, and Wintreath.
Foreign Office
Prime Minister Jacob M. Stewart has recently visited The New Galactic Empire on a Head of Government visit to discuss formalizing the two regions very long standing and storied friendship stretching over a period of several years. Foreign Secretary Mikaelson has recently attended the 2013 Defenders Summit bringing back a treaty which Prime Minister Stewart is considering. Foreign Secretary Mikaelson is also attending the COPS II convention where he is representing the region during the re-write of the COPS treaty which according to many is very flawed and does not fulfill it's intended purpose of dissuading future forum destroyers/spammers from performing these devious acts.
New Year’s Ball!
We recently had our New Year’s Ball at Buckingham Palace. It was an absolutely gorgeous affair with citizens, royalty, and government members alike as well as a few foreign dignitaries. United Kingdom thanks all of the foreign dignitaries who attended and looks forward to seeing all of you again at our next event.
Culture
United Kingdom's Culture Department under the direction of Secretary Daniel Scott has already begun producing events to help spur on even more activity than we already have with a posting contest where contestants will see who can post the most. The contest is set to start on January 13, 2014 and already several members of the region have signed up for this including one of United Kingdom's finest spammers Member of Parliament Andrew Callaway.
