Greetings to all of our friends and allies around the world! Here's the latest update from your friends in the Empire of Great Britain!

Cultural Festival with Kantrias

From January 30th to February 5th, the Empire of Great Britain and Kantrias are holding a cultural festival on a joint Discord server. The event so far has featured quizzes, spam games, and great interactions between the citizens of our two great regions. A particular highlight was a chaotic tug-of-war between the two regions which came to a spectacular conclusion when Prime Minister Sherwood and Culture Secretary Veralius gave up an hour of their lives to spam out a victory for the Empire. The festival is expected to conclude with a State Banquet featuring speeches from British and Kantrian dignitaries and a sumptuous repast of the finest dishes our two great regions have to offer. We look forward to holding other cultural events with our friends in India and The Great North in the near future.

Greater London Council Kicks Off Deliberations

Following the successful passage of the Greater London Assembly Act and five intrepid citizens signing up, the GLC kicked off its deliberations with a discussion on Standing Orders and procedure. We look forward to seeing this initiative foster roleplay opportunities and help old and new citizens alike to hone their legislative skills.

By-Election Results

Following the resignation of the Rt Hon Anish Hallow-Bauheim MP, a by-election was called to fill his seat in the House of Commons. Former Speaker and Foreign Secretary Andrew Wright-Jameson held the seat for the governing Socialist-Democratic and Labour Party. Sirch Leftand-Halifax was appointed to replace Hallow-Bauheim as Home Secretary.
