Posted Image




On December 1st King Charles III made an announcement to his subjects stating his intention to abdicate the throne of the United Kingdom in favour of his son James, the Prince of Wales. On December 10th a smooth transition of power took place and Prince James became King James IV of the United Kingdom. On the day King James gave an accession address thanking King Charles III for his hard work in the region both as monarch and also in his previous roles in parliament. He also noted his mixed emotions on becoming monarch saying:

“I come to the throne amongst a juxtaposition of emotion. One of joyous pride contrasted with a feeling of profound sadness. “

King Charles III spent his 436th and final day as monarch having breakfast with Queen Georgiana before discussing matters of state and the transition of power with Prime Minister Mike D. Pearson. In the afternoon the King and Queen held an intimate reception for family and friends, afterwards, the King and Queen made a final public appearance on the balcony.

The coronation of King James IV is to be held in January at Westminster Abbey and festivities will be held throughout the United Kingdom.

One of the United Kingdom’s longest-serving and most loved citizens Constance St. James has decided to retire after 8 years serving the region and shaping its laws and constitution. Constance St. James also served as the regions Monarch Queen Constance I from 3rd August 2015 - 30 September 2016 an astounding 425 days making her the regions second longest serving Monarch.

The region was quick to respond with its appreciation of Constance St. James work in the region with Lucas Wessex saying “I couldn't have asked for a better role model.” Akillian Talleyrand and Jan Van Dijk both thanked Constance for her service to the region and lamented on the loss of such a titan of The United Kingdom. King James IV called her “The Grandmother of the UK and a role model to us all.” The King praised Constance's work saying "Your greatest legacy is creating a legal system which is the best in Nation States and one which has stimulated exceptional legal debate."







Constituency Battle Restarts!



Posted Image



After the success of the constituency battle in past premierships, Prime Minister Mike D. Pearson made it a priority for his Culture Minister Samual Kohnaarik to revamp and restart the cultural activity game for this term, making it an even playing field by resetting the scores. As the battle got under way England took an early and dominant lead thanks to the spamming prowess of Longdendale with double the number of points of Wales who take second place. Scotland is in third place and Northern Ireland is bringing up the rear.

Activity soared in the battle to be the best constituency with posts topping 1700 post in a day thanks to Longdendale, Akillian and Georgiana the highest post count recorded for a single day in the United Kingdom.





Parliament hard at Work!



Posted Image



There has been much furore in the House of Commons this term after the controversy at the November election where the Liberal Party accused the Pragmatic Alliance of using ‘ghost voters’ to secure a victory.

Since the election, there has been a fierce debate in the House of Commons and The Strangers Gallery on the issue with both the Liberal Party and The Pragmatic Alliance introducing motions to the Commons. The Liberal party would like to see ‘voter registration’ introduced to combat ‘ghost voters’ while the Pragmatic Alliance maintains that all citizens should have the right to vote. This lead to a legal inquiry at the Crown Court chaired by a three-judge panel. The court upheld that voter registration would indeed be unconstitutional but this verdict was overturned after an appeal by Arthur Jameson led to the court reconsidering its outcome.

The Foreign Secretary has made a request that the CAIN treaty is repealed after it has become dead in the water following allegations made about its leader Brunhilde. Following a short debate in the House of Commons, the MP’s voted unanimously to repeal the treaty.

The House of Commons has passed an amendment to the Defence Act, outlining the method for deciding World Assembly Resolutions, as well as a new BBC Act to create a board of directors for the news organisation.

The House of Commons has also seen debate this session on a Petition Act (2018). This bill states that “All citizens of United Kingdom shall have the right to submit a petition to any ministry/office of HM Government or chamber of Parliament requesting that action is taken in line with the content of the petition submitted.”

The debate in the House of Commons has recently begun on The Citizen Emeritus Act 2018 allowing prominent citizens of the region who announce retirement to retain their citizenship and become a ‘Citizen Emeritus’.





The United Kingdom Celebrates The New Year

As midnight approached on the 31st December 2017, citizens of the United Kingdom lined the banks of the River Thames in London to see in the new year with the annual fireworks display with the London Eye and Big Ben as its backdrop. As always London did not disappoint and put on a spectacular firework display with the theme of the 100 year anniversary of the suffragette movement and women getting the right to vote.

Thank you for the update! :)

I have several questions:
  • It seems that monarchs in the NSUK come and go quite frequently. Why is that, and how are new monarchs selected? Do the monarchs do anything important, or are they mostly for show?

  • Who are these "ghost voters," and what would "voter registration" require? Also, would you mind giving me a summary (or a copy-and-paste) of the court's second opinion? Voter registration in NS seems very odd since forum registration and citizenship registration are a sort of voter registration.

  • Is the new BBC board of directors part of HM's government, or is it somehow independent?

  • Also, back in August, I asked this question: "What are the duties of the mayor and council [of London], and how are they selected?"
Sorry for all the inquiries. :P Right to Life is holding a constitutional convention right now (as you might have seen on your forums); and we're debating what to do with regard to our news bureau, etc.

Sorry for my late reply!

1. The new monarch is selected by the previous monarch. The monarch will name an heir apparent and usually another after that so that there are 2 in the line of succession. The heir is granted the title of Prince(ss) of Wales. The monarch is mainly symbolic and ceremonial, although they do carry out important functions. They are one of the administrators, they appoint Lords to the Upper House of Parliament and they grant royal assent or veto legislation. They have additional powers which are outlined within the Constitution. However, executive authority is exercised by the Government led by the Prime Minister. The Monarchy provides a symbol of unity and is often what people turn to in times of difficulty in NSUK.

2. Ghost voters are people who are not active throughout a term but suddenly appear when it is election time. The general idea is that they are individuals who only show up at elections and often sway tight elections. Voter registration would require citizens to sign up to vote 2 weeks (or any other specific time) before an election occurs.

I believe this may be the Court's second opinion


3. The BBC Board of Directors is independent of the Government in their actions, but are initially appointed by the Government. Once appointed, they must act independently.

4.

Thank you for the answers! :)

Although I'm unfamiliar with NSUK law, I'm not sure that I agree with the court's 3-2 decision. To me, a two-week voter registration requirement seems arbitrary.

And establishing a municipal government over five forums is . . . an interesting idea.
