Emperor Fred I announces regent
In the recent chaos a lot has changed the Empress Bozhena abdicates in favor of Princess Hanna, but that is not the only change of power. Emperor Fred I announces that he will have a regent for the rest of his life. He declares his son Prince Fred II as heir and regent. Abdication is frowned upon as a sign of weakness, but he felt his health was not well enough to continue to rule. Like regents of childhood the Emperor still has final say but are often not consulted unless the situation is important.
It does bring up some interesting ideas as now the Imperial family will need to think about its future. The Prince's first child is only 7 meaning he has 8 more years until able to rule. It also comes at a time when they need all ties to Carnation as possible if they want any chance of uniting them. Both sides have been trying to keep peace. Falmards announcing that they will put Carnation under their protection whether they like it or not, will change the relations as Falmards seems to be able to push them around. Could the Marriage have differed the outcome only time will tell but with neither one having much power may put this all in jeopardy.

Dominant Oppressors and Carnation join the UFE
Both countries have joined as autonomous states sending generals to the council. They now are sworn to protect the Empire with military force they are allowed to request troops and command those under there control. The Prince has stated he may want to expand the roles of the council and what autonomous states mean. Currently it is only military but expansion may be in the future with the marshal headed to Carnations this may be the first talks of what it means to be part of the UFE. The addition of these nations shall prove great for the UFE and we hope that the people from there show gratitude to their fellow Imperial Falmardics.

Controversial statement by Carnation Politician
On Sunday the 15th a story from Carnation made headlines creating a diplomatic disaster. The speaker of parliament called the Emperor a scum and pig. The Princess having to defend her family's honor in her own country proves the chaos that's called democracy. Shortly after Falmards comes back stating they shall arrest and execute the speaker and that a fleet of warships would be on the way to blockade the rabble. With the immediate excommunication of the speaker and armed forces being scrambled to kidnap this traitor he hoped she would back down. He sent a nuclear armed sub in case the local rabble gets out of control.
The Traitor thinks she won and forces the Queen to abdicate. With a new Queen that she can easily push around she starts a nationalist rabble and takes control. They find the traitor sitting on a throne which in Falmards would be punished by death normally a gladiator fight but some Glatnaus have their own methods. One Glatnau the White Knight states that if it was necessary for her to die by the swine a method used since the crusades when they were fighting muslims, and they were forbidden to touch pig they would often kill them with swine milk.
Afterwards the Queen pleads to the mighty Emperor to surrender to the rabble. The Emperor instead delays all plans of kidnapping the traitor. The New Queen gave a traitor a second chance a big mistake if her father wasn't backing her. The Emperor of the Dominant Oppressors also states it may back the glorious empire. Carnation cannot expect to use the powerful military of the UFE if it won't even protect itself or help the UFE. Either way the Emperor has put it under his protection until further notice.

General Council Meeting
While we don't know much the Generals will be meeting formally in Lauch. The Prince will represent the UFE as a whole and all other Generals are joining in the first formal meeting. Formal meetings are very rare the last on in 1940-44 spanning all 4 years they worked to decide what to do about World War II and while they never got involved they did discuss what to do from that whole time. This meeting should last no more than a week or so and will discuss a multitude of things. The specifics not specified we do know the main thing is to address the new states as they are the first states that isn't a Grand Duchy. Other things will be about the split and what to do about the rabble and traitor in Carnations. While the Emperor technically has absolute power of the council he has delegated this power so that the new nations stay. If he doesn't like something he has given the Prince power to just refuse it. It shall start as soon as the Marshall comes home.

Falmards to be WA representative
The Polls lead with Falmards on top to become in charge of WA. Boylay’s capital exploding as news that the WA seat for the United Christian Empires of the West may be coming there. They have decided to host a parade in there capital inviting all Leaders to join as they will celebrate the new power. This will be attended by the Emperor and the whole Family including the first public appearance of the young Princes. Princess Mary has announced she has a big announcement for the public this day. The date is yet to be set but it will have to be until after the Council meeting.
