Return of the King
09/06/09--CHICAGO-- After more than a year of consolidation and secretive behaviour, His Sovereign Majesty has announced his return to the international scene today in a surprise letter to the Tribune that also freed the news source from a protective punitive measure.
In March 2008, election results were published and, unsurprisingly, Mr. Lloyd-Davies was re-elected to the Prime Ministry. After threats were levelled against the Monarchy by the Opposition for what they called ‘blatant tolerance of a virtual dictatorship’, the Sovereign became wary of publishing anything pertaining to His whereabouts or political moves, thinking it best to weather the storm than try to stop it. This also included a blanket media blackout throughout the Kingdom as well as the decommission of the National Web Portal.
His Sovereign Majesty left the Kingdom on a four-year campaign in the New World for supporters to His cause and the Secessionist movement. The King stated in a letter that he is ‘currently situated in the Great Lakes region and invites the Kemetia Tribune to start republishing at its own discretion.’
We further publish his New World Decree for the good of the Sovereign Kingdom. Glory and health to His Sovereign Majesty and may He bask in the Light of Fortune and Favour.
Decree pertaining to the New World to be created and Sustained issued by the Glorious Sovereign on Campaign in the Great Lakes Region:
Preamble
It has been too long that I have been separated from my Children, the Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia. Contact must be re-established between your representatives in the Government and My office in order for us to have a consultative and due process governing such a grand institution as the Secessionist State. Therefore, in order to realise these important tasks, We have decided that it be prudent and correct to issue this Decree pertaining to a New World to be established under My authoritative and judicious leadership after viewing and learning from this Campaign upon the New World which I have taken. In order to curb elements that are both treacherous and insidious, we must do perform three missions: expansion, consolidation, and centralisation, as shall be laid out in the following Decree.
Article I: Expansion
The Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia has existed for four years. Four more years of existence must be assured, as should the eternal future of the nation and dynasty. Expansion shall ensure this. Due to the findings of the Pan-Kemetian Irredentic Commission and issuance of the Pax Kemetica Decree, to maintain territorial integrity, areas of Kemetian influence in East Hampshire were integrated into the nation, and the Kingdom has rapidly expanded, encompassing a large area in the South of England. This area now includes the East Hampshire District, the Borough of Basingstoke and Deane, the City of Winchester, the Hart District, and the Borough of Havant. This area shall be maintained as the core territory of the Kingdom, with the periphery continuing to exist of those areas incorporated overseas.
Article II: Consolidation
In order to preserve the harmonious balance within the political sphere of the nation, His Sovereign Majesty, in his wisdom, decides unequivocally to reform the national system to better suit his overseas governance. Forthwith, the Final Constitution is indefinitely suspended, with this action being approved by the Consultative Assembly, also forthwith dissolved to be replaced with a National Government of Harmonious Rule. The components of this Government shall be as follows: an executive made up of a Royal and Citizen Command selected by His Sovereign Majesty and a legislative branch made up of 5 members, selected by a popular vote of the Royal and Citizen Command making up a Advisory Senate. There operation shall be outlined in the next article.
Article III: Centralisation
Centralisation is essential in His Sovereign Majesty’s absence. Thus, the following officers are appointed to these newly established positions:
Regent: Jolyon Lloyd-Davies
Financial Minister: Arran Marais-Gilchrist
Defence Minister: His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ian
The Royal Government shall deal with all citizenship applications and activities. The Advisory Senate shall be chosen within 7 days from the publication of this decree.
This Decree is published and made binding as of 10th June 2009. All articles are binding until cancellation.

Lawmaking
The King spent the morning arranging for the publication of several Royal Decrees which he hopes will improve the lives of Kemetians throughout the Kingdom. His Sovereign Majesty's office set a release date of 31st October for their publication and we eagerly await their contents.
Around Kemetia
In response to the outrageous measures that have been proposed by the British government to cull badgers, the Ministry of the Interior has declared Kemetian territories to be 'safe zones' for the animals. Anyone found to be guilty of the unlawful killing of badgers within the Kingdom shall be fined the weight of the animal in silver.
His Sovereign Majesty has suggested a State of Emergency be temporarily assumed in Kemetia's North American Provinces until the rampant fires afflicting the California area are contained. So far, no Kemetian citizens have been hurt in the incidences.
The King publicly urged caution in the escalating conflict between Turkey and the Kurdish secessionist movement the PKK. His Sovereign Majesty condemned the recent violence and called for a peaceful resolution to be adopted.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown once again curtailed the freedoms of the British people today by denying them a referendum of the new EU treaty. As Kemetia worriedly watches her neighbour fall into the clutches of a totalitarian society, the King's government reminds us that the people of Kemetia have the right to have a referendum on any issue they please, an encourage citizens to take advantage of this freedom.
Kemetia endorses a Unified Jerusalem
Despite opposition from several members of the Consultative Assembly including the Prime Minister, Kemetia has formally given support to the proposal of a unified Jerusalem in which the Holy Sites of the city will be accessible to all and protected for future generations. The government hopes for a two state solution and will work with the relevant parties to accelerate the Peace Process.

His Sovereign Majesty was said to be extremely enthusiastic about the prospect, but cautioned that all protests should be non-violent, peaceful and abide by the laws of the nations in which they are occurring.

Diplomatic Tour
30/03/07--STONERDALE CITY-- His Majesty King Adam and members of the Royal Family are scheduled to travel to the Hillcrest Province tomorrow and receive a week-long tour of the surrounding United States territories. His Majesty will be announcing the results of the election abroad for the first time on Sunday evening from the Hillcrest Palace. Preliminary figures are in from several polling stations that suggest Prince Ian's National Constitutional Party is leading, possibly meaning the end of Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies 2 year grip on power.
The King will not be meeting with Crown Prince Ian during this journey; however, he is to have meetings with other royal family members arriving Sunday evening and is expected to announce the composition of the Council of the Royal Court, with its members being selected from the Royal Family at the same time as the election results. The Court Advisory Council will then be selected by the Council of the Royal Court.
Various topics that are set to dominate the agenda are the state of the health care system, to be discussed with HRH Princess Joyce, Secretary of Health and Social Services, Ministry of the Interior; agriculture with HRH Prince John, Secretary of Agriculture, Ministry of the Interior, and Secretary Christopher Knoepke of the Department of Corrections, Ministry of Justice about the current prison and rehabilitation system. Other Royal Family members will also be consulted as to the position they wish to occupy in the future.
On Monday night, His Majesty will be attending a private Passover ceremony of the Royal Family. Although the King strongly promotes the secular nature of the government, he says he will still exercise his and his families' right to worship as they wish.
While the King is on his tour, Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies shall exercise the powers of Regent (even if the election results state another winning candidate) until His Majesty returns.

Election 07 Finalised
18/03/07--STONERDALE CITY-- His Majesty has announced that elections for Prime Minister shall occur on the 25th March after their cancellation in late 2006. The winner shall complete a term until December 1st 2007 when a new election shall occur. Parties can continue to be submitted until the 20th March and the election campaign shall run for four days until the ballots are submitted on the 25th.
So far, the National Constitutional Party is the only party confirmed to be in the race. Its Chair Prince Ian has given no comments about how he believes the party will fair in the election. It is expected that the current Prime Minister's party, the Social Democrats, will also run again; however, the party Chair Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies and Marais-Gilchrist of the Liberal Party have been taking part in talks to establish whether their parties may merge under Lloyd-Davies as a possibly Liberal Democratic party with Socialist sympathies. Whether this works or not Marais-Gilchrist has made it clear that he is not going to run saying that he wishes to focus 'on the development of Kemetia's economic position in Europe.'
Reliable sources also suggest that Jack Finch the Minister of the Interior's Green Party will make an appearance, though he does not expect to win 'more than 3 seats.' Several other small parties who seem to harbour high hopes for many seats and perhaps the Prime Ministry did not mirror this attitude. Sinclair's Imperialist Party was most vocal about the perceived unfairness of the past elections, all won by Mr. Lloyd-Davies.
However, with the definite loss of the Liberal Party, many fear the emergence of a two party system. The Monarchy believes this would be hurtful to our democratic principles, as without a diverse range of parties not all people in society would be represented.
Hopefully, the election shall be conducted free and fairly so don't forget to cast your vote on the 25th.

Several other small parties who seem to harbour high hopes for many seats and perhaps the Prime Ministry did not mirror this attitude. Sinclair's Imperialist Party was most vocal about the perceived unfairness of the past elections, all won by Mr. Lloyd-Davies.
However, with the definite loss of the Liberal Party, many fear the emergence of a two party system. The Monarchy believes this would be hurtful to our democratic principles, as without a diverse range of parties not all people in society would be represented.
Hopefully, the election shall be conducted free and fairly so don't forget to cast your vote on the 25th.

87% Vote Yes for the Permanent Constitution
25/01/07--STONERDALE CITY & THE PROVINCES--
His Eminence Jack Finch, the Minister for the Interior and His Excellency the Prime Minister Jolyon Lloyd-Davies, Chair of the Committee on the Composition and Implementation of the Permanent Constitution (CCIPC) said today that 87% of voters in the referendum on the Permanent Constitution voted yes out of an electorate of 128 whereas 13% voted no. His Excellency the Prime Minister said in a statement that the large turnout reflected the magnitude of the response of the Kemetian people to the appeal of His Sovereign Majesty King Adam. His Sovereign Majesty urged citizens to cast their votes with a feeling of responsibility for their future and commended them on their keenness to participate in the referendum and their faithfulness to their leadership. The CCIPC congratulated His Sovereign Majesty the King, the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, the Kemetian government, and people on this occasion.
This new Permanent Constitution is seen as a great step forward. Taking into account the concerns of citizens about the Advisory Council, it has been abolished and now a unicameral legislative branch is in operation. Other areas have been overhauled as well and the full text of the constitution can be view under the Constitutional section of the official web portal.

General Elections Dec. 06
4/12/06--STONERDALE CITY--
Four days ago, His Sovereign Majesty was given the unexpected advice by the military and the Advisory Council to postpone the General Elections until late January. This is partly in response to fears among these institutions that the General Elections would be used as an excuse to stage a popular rebellion by anti-Secessionist elements that may exist inside the population. Intelligence suggested that these forces would become active in undermining the government during the December month when the Parliament was not in session and while most officials are taking the winter off. A minority of MPs has been angry at the postponement and believes it to be another sign of the increasing influence of the military and the King's advisors on policy. It could be noted that since the initial planning stages of a rebellion have been uncovered these MPs are not being particularly supportive of the democratically elected government of Kemetia and may do well to reaffirm their loyalty. However, the Cabinet seemed satisfied with the Intelligence and Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies will remain the Head of Government until the election in late February. Meanwhile, we wish all citizens a Happy Holidays and a Good New Year.

Monarch Proclaims clean-up of Cabinet
11/10/06--STONERDALE CITY-- Today, the King made a surprise proclamation of what has been termed a 'clean-up' of the Cabinet. Apparently in the planning for some time, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have apparently made a scheme to increase the number of government posts to better facilitate the new influx in citizenry.
'To accommodate the needs of our increasing population, we must expand the Government. This means that more officials will be needed, but this will in turn allow for better administration of the nation.' He went on to reveal that a new Government Web Portal is under construction which will allow for a better democratic process. He also stated that he was currently exploring the possibility of trade and a treaty with the Principality of Byzantia.

Trip to Kemetia Springs by King results in Much News
6/08/2006-- KEMETIA SPRINGS--
Today, King Adam returned from the Kemetia Springs Province after a short visit to the area and talks with Crown Prince Ian, Minister of Justice Jon Paul Medved and other high ranking members of the government and Royal Family who reside there.
The meetings concentrated on current parliamentary power blocs, defense, justice, agriculture, and royal affairs of state.
Crown Prince Ian reiterated his commitment to government stability and defense saying that "the current situation in the Parliament must be solved to combat any future problems that may be encountered due to a split of ideas between it's members. We must unite to fight the greater threats from the outside."
The "split of ideas" refers to the small conflict that occurred between Crown Prince Ian's party the NDP and Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies party the SDP over the Middle East conflict. It is unclear what the "threats from the outside" are, but it is clear that in his capacity as Defence Minister, Prince Ian had lengthy talks with the King and his staff that resulted in increased funding being diverted to the Defence and Justice Ministries. It is thought that the MoD is preparing for any eventualities that may occur due to the aggressive stance on National and International Security of the King of late.
Minister Medved was also given permission to found the Committee on Un-Kemetian Activities to help fight dangerous terrorist and foreign influences that have infiltrated the country lately. His and Prince Ian's commitment to fighting enemy forces at work inside Kemetia has been admirable and much praise should be bestowed upon them.
Later in the tour, King Adam appointed a Commander of the Air Force, but details remain undisclosed for the time being. He will be confirmed at a later date.
The tour also included the reappointment of the Head of the Olympic Committee Christopher Knoepke, who had been deposed earlier that year.
Meeting and celebration were also held with Prince John and Princess's Jan and Meredith. Agriculture is also confirmed as "running smoothly" by Prince John after the hops shortage of late 05 in which hops production was seriously effected by drought.
A celebratory raft ride was also undertaken by the King and his family (and staff) which was much enjoyed by all.

A Heated Exchange
13/07/2006-- STONERDALE CITY--
A heated exchange has occured between Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies and High Vizier Prince Ian over the issue of the current situation in the Middle East. The dissagreement happened when a communication intended for the Sovereign King about the state of foreign affairs was routed to all government officials due to an error on the Kemetian Telecomunication Network (which has since been resolved).
The text of the communication has not been disclosed, but it appears that in an unofficial capacity, the Prime Minister complained of the pro-Israel stance of the government in a way that would be generally thought of as unfitting for someone of his position. In a telephone conversation, His Majesty informed the Prime Minister of his views and of the fact that the communication had been sent on to all in the government.
When the High Vizier Prince Ian received the communication, he was outraged at the informal and somewhat "sparring" language of the Prime Minister and wrote him a formal letter of complaint. Later today, during the sessions of the Royal Parliament, he asked for "a vote of No Confidence in Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies" stating that "his values and judgement have proven to be questionable as of late." A heated debate followed.
The Sovereign King suggest a reconciliation meeting between the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince saying that "If it does come to an impeachment, it would be impossible to impeach the Prime Minister with the Royal Parliament because that would require a 2/3 majority for the motion, which could not be achieved because of the SDP holding too many seats. A case could be brought for high treason, but I seriously doubt the PM has done anything to merit such a trial." He reiterated his government's commitment to peace and justice and pushed for peaceful meetings between the two sides.
Although a favourable outcome has been obtained, this incident has shown that although the two major parties (SDP and NDP) are similar in some respects they can have their differences.

The 4th Constitution
08/07/2006--STONERDALE CITY--
Today, the 4th Constitution of the Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia was presented before the Royal Parliament for debate, amendments, and approval. The long awaited new constitution will replace the redundant 3rd and hopefully usher in a new era of constitutional law and peace. Certain guarantees of this constitution have never been made in the past and it is believed that the Cabinet has tried to create a document which covers all eventualities in keeping with the liberal policies of the Prime Minister and the King.
Although the document will probably be ratified in early September, it has initially been given a warm reception in the debating chamber and approved by Grand Prince Roger, Deputy Chair of the New Delegation Party.
