New World Assembly Delegate
It was with a heavy heart that the LKE dismissed our former World Assembly Delegate, Bobracha, after many long months of service to our region. While his removal was most unfortunate, it opened up the uncommon process of electing a new WAD, an opportunity not nearly as regularly available as that of Government elections. Perhaps because of this, the election turned into quite the event, with three separate candidates running for the post after several days of heated campaigning. As the header of this update has likely already revealed, Zack Saxton, the current Minister of Culture, managed to secure the Delegacy by a sliver of the votes cast, and managed to secure the necessary in-game endorsements with promising speed.
Constitution X
As was explained in great detail in our previous update, the Estates Common, following the LKE’s revolutionary transfer from Invisionfree to Zetaboards, began working on the new, tenth, Constitution of the Land of Kings and Emperors. Since then, the document, which among other things greatly empowers the Upper House of the LKE Parliament and drafts a new, more unique take on regional citizenship, has been presented to His Supreme Majesty the Emperor, who officially signed it into function on February 9th, fully confirming that with its new forums, the LKE is entering a whole new, revised, age.
The Triple Regency
Even before the signing of the Constitution, His Supreme Majesty had made it known that, due to increasing preoccupation with Real Life matters, he would be delegating some of his powers to a Regency Council that will help lead the region. The Council was formerly established on 11th February, alongside the announcement of some important personnel changes. His Supreme Highness, Crown Prince HEM Tiberius, His Imperial Highness, Cephal Talleyrand the Prince Imperial and His Lordship Wilhelm Somerset, newly named Lord Protector have been granted access to many of His Supreme Majesty’s powers and resources for the duration of this regency period, with the Prime Minister and the Emperor’s Guardian Council also being given increased prominence in the day-to-day management and monitoring of the region.
With the appointment of Lord Somerset to the Regency Council, Lord Josh Sebastian was named as the new Director-General of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. He was also made Deputy Joint Commander of the United Imperial Armed Forces, with the rank of Lieutenant-General. He was retained in his current rank of General in the LKE Imperial Army. Meanwhile, with Lord Sebastian's new responsibilities, two positions opened up, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, which was filled by GEBM, and the UIAF Division Commander, which was taken over by Akillian.
In a massive public showing of support and endearment, the public unilaterally proclaimed their trust in the three regents, as well as our full support for His Supreme Majesty’s endeavors and trials. The Emperor himself remarked on the excellent nature of this post-forum switch period in LKE history, and put his full support and endorsement behind his three regents, stating;
United Kingdom State Visit
On November 17th, the United Kingdom and the Land of Kings and Emperors officially signed the Treaty of Argyll, which made official the strong bonds of friendship, cooperation and support between our two regions. To celebrate and cultivate this new amity, the Emperor, the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister are currently visiting the UK, having already received a wonderful welcome from the local people, as well as local honors. The LKE is extremely grateful to our allies for their immense, ongoing hospitality and we look forward to returning it in full when the United Kingdom in turn sends its own delegation to our region.
Population Boom!
To the great joy of all LKE citizens, our population has seen a remarkable period of growth in the past few weeks, rising steadily to break the 400 nations mark on February 14th and carrying on from there in a remarkable activity spike. We are extremely proud and excited to welcome these many new nations and citizens to the Land of Kings and Empires, and doubly so excited to see what unique skills, talents and personalities they will bring to our new forums!
Armed Success on All Fronts
Near the beginning of the month of February, the UIAF assisted with various deployments and commitments. The region of the Atheist Empire was invaded and captured by The Black Riders, a region that is allied with the LKE and other UIAF regions. The region currently has over ninety endorsements marking the large turnout of troops from all over. Only a few days from this deployment, the LKE alongside the UIAF deployed a number of troops to support the native delegate of Stargate. The region of Stargate is an ally of The North Pacific, a friend who has supported the UIAF on numerous occasions.
While the Atheist Empire is a major focus of UIAF deployment efforts, the UIAF assisted our ally of Europeia in their invasion of Meridon, which has only lasted for a single update. The LKE has also prepared several training operations led by the new Chief of the Imperial General Staff GEBM, taking over for Josh Sebastian, over the course of several updates hitting numerous targets. Josh Sebastian was named the new Deputy General of the UIAF, hoping to take on a more active role of leading the military alliance. Replacing Josh Sebastian as LKE Division Commander is Akillian, a longtime member of the LKE.
