Tom Mills to Chancery!

Issue 26

In a landslide non-election Count Tom Mills of Punkrock was defaulted into the position of Chancellor of the Royal Frenzy for his second consecutive term. It was looking to be an actual election when Count Brian Capelle of Robland nominated himself under the condition that if anyone else was nominated he would drop out. Tom Mills nominated himself the day before elections, causing the Count of Robland to drop out, making Count Tom the chancellor by default. The Bagelcratican Sporadically congratulates the Count on his victory.

Karnali-Natopia Partnership Promises to Bring the Future to Giess

The King of Karnali approached Natopia's premier aerospace manufacturer and Dingo Enterprises subsidiary, Aeronautics and Space Shipyards, with a tantalizing offer of cooperation. Both ASS and the Karnali Recwar Society Space Agency have entered into a corporated agreement. Scientists from Karnali are scheduled to arrive in Natopia today to learn spacecraft design and manufacture from ASS and Karnali military are to be trained by the Natopian Spacefleet Academy in the operations of a spaceship. Once the Karnalians have learned all they can, they will pilot a specially designed cruiser back to Giess for its public presentation to the population of that planet. KRSSA will go onto to build and design its own vessels as well as sell ASS products to Giessan interests with profits split between the companies.

Frenzy Frets for a Fuehrer

Issue 25

In a rather embarrassing and ironic turn of events on November 6, the Chancellor of the Royal Frenzy's three month term ran out. Lord Tom Mills of Punkrock served as chancellor, the only elected position in the imperial government. On November 7, however no one had remembered the Chancellor's term had run out. Feeling embarrassed but also noticing the irony of Natopia's ineptitude at democracy on America's Election Day, Emperor Nathan acted quickly to ensure the government continued to run smoothly. Or at least as smoothly as it can run while in a self-imposed hibernation since September.

The Constitution provides that the Prime Minister serve as chancellor pro tempore in instances where there is no chancellor so Tasneem Chowdhury was required to close all old business of the first chancellor's term pending the results of a new chancellorial election to be concluded on November 14. As of publication, there have been no nominations for the post and the Prime Minister will continue to serve as chancellor pro tem until one is elected.

During Chowdhury's interim term as chancellor pro tem she passed several important and controversial sections of the Royal Code. Several unenforceable and outdated sections of the Royal Code were repealed, and a section was finally added to the Code outlining the official limits to the interaction between the Imperial government and the demesnial government of Lavalon. The "Secret Enemy Conditioning" section was passed as well which allows the government to ingrain hate into an enemy designated by the Emperor, complete with clauses to harbor Orwellian levels of doublethink. And the Frenzy operational procedures were amended again. The Freny now operated under a system of timed democracy, abolishing its unruly quorom system and changing the names of legislators from "Legates" to "Member of the Royal Frenzy" which can be humorously abbreviated to MoRF.
