Issue 30

Lord Tom Mills of Punkrock, Frenzy Chancellor, recently passed a self-proposed section to the Royal Code that creates a Combat Service Medal for Natopians who have served their country in a recwar. The law was retroactive, allowing HSM Nathan and HM King Zachary of Alrodria to be the recipients of the new award. During debate of the bill and idea was proposed by HSM to re-establish the old office of Grand Consul to help in the distribution of awards. As all the Sovereign is the fount of all Honor in the Empire, it is fitting that the title of Grand Consul be brought back to administer awards and HSM's Honor in his name.

The Grand Consul was the original leader of the Legislative branch, the Grand Natopian Senate, during the first years of the Supreme Sovereign Republic. The Consul had sweeping powers as the branches were independently powerful under the first few Constitutions.

His Lordship, Tom Mills of Punkrock, was also named as the Grand Consul, making him the second person in Natopian history to hold the title, the first being Andrew Shin (of which the Ziegish city of Andiopolis is named for).

Bagelcratican Sporadically Man of the Year

Noting that Tom Mills has now been mentioned in 4 consecutive posts by the BS, this publication is hoping to begin the tradition of naming a Natopian citizen to be Person of the Year for being the most newsworthy person. This year that person is Tom Mills has designed battle flags for demesnial regiments during our limited engagement in the Taylor Bay War, secured election to the Chancellorship twice, been made count of Punkrock, receiving a commission in the Imperial Army to the rank of Major General, and most recently being appointed Grand Consul.
