Chief of the Imperial General Staff, General Theoden Sebastian, recently restructured the Imperial Army by implementing a new recognition system and reorganising the force into brigades. In a report released from the Imperial Authority for War, General Sebastian announced the promotions of Akillian Talleyrand and Linkin Talleyrand to Brigadiers as commanding officers of the Hapsburg Guard and Caruba Guard.

On the 11th of June, the Imperial Army, with the support of our treaty allies, Europeia, Balder, Osiris and Albion, and our military partners, The Black Hawks and The Kingdom of Great Britain, seized the region of South Pacific in a successful major update operation. This victory commemorated the ninth anniversary of the Battle of Marxist Leninist Party, where a coalition of Imperialist and Raider organisations successfully defeated the Defender Security Alliance and other defender groups in a large scale siege. Upon taking the region, the former Chief of Defence for the Founderless Regions Alliance, The lepearchauns, was dismissed as a Regional Officer of South Pacific. A total of 9 defenders were ejected and banned after attempting to interfere with our occupation, and all embassies were destroyed.
The operation concluded on the 15th of June, with as many as 53 units participating. The LKE looks forward to engaging in future operations with our allies and military partners. Since the conclusion of our mission in South Pacific, we have provided significant reinforcements to the occupation of Ireland conducted by The Kingdom of Great Britain and the occupation of SPACE led by Albion and The North Pacific. Once our force was united following the end of the Ireland operation, the Imperial Army provided the largest deployed contingent in SPACE.

The Estates General reached the end of a session on the 12th of June, with His Supreme Majesty Emperor Onder calling for a general election for the Imperial Senate. In the announcement, the Emperor selected the Duke of Crownchester, Valfor Talleyrand, and the Duke of Mornington, Akillian Talleyrand, to serve in the appointed seats of the Senate. The two elder statesmen are experienced members of government and leaders of the Imperial Party and Lion Party, respectively. The Emperor thanked the Duke of Beckettford, Cornelius Talleyrand, for his service in the Imperial Senate during the previous term.[img=300,200]http://i.imgur.com/nhcPIOY.jpg[/img]

Campaigning for the Imperial Senate was fierce, with particularly impressive addresses released by Sir Potato of the Imperial Party, George G. Nelson of the Hawk Party and independent candidates Yuno and Kolmias. Debate quickly arose between candidates with the topics of Senate and government accountability, and proposed pieces of legislation. Before the polls opened, the Chairman of the Lion Party, Nick Powell, released a public statement endorsing Hawk Party candidate George G. Nelson for the Imperial Senate.
The elections concluded with George G. Nelson receiving the first seat in the Senate, Kolmias receiving the second, and Sir Potato taking the remaining elected seat. While in session, Akillian Talleyrand was confirmed to serve his second consecutive term as President of the Imperial Senate. In the race for Prime Minister, the Imperial Senate reviewed both candidates, the incumbent premier, Nick Powell of the Lion Party, and Valfor Talleyrand of the Imperial Party. Following an election, the Senate voted with a majority in favour of candidate Valfor Talleyrand. His Supreme Majesty appointed the Duke of Crownchester to the premiership in an announcement from the palace stating, "the Duke of Crownchester [...] is an experienced and capable member of the region with an energetic approach to regional politics."
Colonial Office Revitalized

Members of the Colonial Council, including: Viceroy Valfor Talleyrand, Viceroy Cornelius Talleyrand, and Governor-Generals; Theoden Sebastian, Kurogane Wolfram Grey and Nick Powell.
Following Letters Patent CLXVII, Theoden Sebastian was appointed Governor-General of Niso, a historic colony of the LKE Empire. The Colonial Council, the body consisting of Crown Representatives and chief advisors, was recently reconvened with the Governor-General implementing new initiatives in the restoration of Niso. Governor-General Sebastian ordered the nullification of all past laws, orders and decrees made by previous colonial administrations, establishing a new constitution and Age of Sail theme for the maritime colony. These efforts are proving successful and we look forward to reporting on Niso's expansion over the coming months.[img=325,225]http://static.kremlin.ru/media/events/photos/big/IsIqH2PkENTAcPLeRGAATSutsbZZomxo.jpg[/img]
