Frenzy Slow to Go

Issue 44

by Nathan

LINDSTROM CITY - In a characteristically Natopian fashion, every Member of the Royal Frenzy was technically excluded from participation in the current session of the Frenzy due to forgetting to reaffirm their membership in the legislative body as per section three of Article Two of the Natopian Constitution.

As a result of this "lockout" Emperor Nathan has proposed an extension of the Frenzy's session. Each session was intended to coincide with a month of the Natopian calender, which is 30 days long. The system was intended to keep active citizens in the voting membership of the Frenzy, while less than active citizens were still allowed a voice in the chambers but could not vote and therefore skew voting percentages.

However, is has become apparent that one month may be too hasty to reconvene the Frenzy. It is not as serious a problem as the Crisis that destroyed the Republic in October 2007 and thrust the nation into the dark ages; the chancellor of the Frenzy is separately appointed by the Emperor and current chancellor Duke Tom was able to make special approvals for memberships.

The current Lieber session of the Frenzy has two bills on the floor for debate, a bill to re-recognize the official symbols of the state and nation, and a bill to amend the Constitution to extend the session of the Royal Frenzy to four months.

Natopia has been restored to its Imperial glory. With contact reestablished with Tasneem, eternal Prime Minister, the nation re-booted itself as per a private deal Nathan made with himself when he chose to end the nation in October 2007 after a constitutional crisis crippled the Republican government.
