The Kingdom of Coeurmorant will induct her new king, Richard IV, on 15 February, 2005. Richard IV has promised to bring Coeurmorant into the international community, a practice unheard of for the past 1500 years of the nation's existence.

Richard IV's distant uncle Christopher III, died only two months ago. He came from a long line of monarchs who zealously pursued complete isolationism. Consequently, much of the world has never heard of Coeurmorant.

At the time of Richard's coronation, it had a small population, only of about 9million. The nation is situated on a beautiful, large, environmentally stunning island. But it does not lack urbanisation. In the census conducted by Christopher III in December, 2004, there were four officially recognized "independant municipal provinces" (IMPs)- let's call them cities. Lèvél, with a population of 1,500,000, Baie-Laurier (1,100,000,) St. Jean (1,100,000,) and Enjorlas (800,000.) Another small city is Providence (700,000,) which although not classified as an IMP, has a sizeable population and does enjoy special powers.

The cultural and financial capital is Lèvél. The political and royal capital, however, is Enjorlas.

The southern (Lèvél, St. Jean, Baie-Laurier) and western (Providence) cities enjoy a temperate climate: summer temperatures hovering around 27 degrees Centigrade (80 Fahrenheit.) Winters usually go down to -10C (15F.)

The northern cities (St. Jean, Enjorlas) are much cooler: Summers are of 15C (60F) and winters are of -30C (-20F)

Most or Coeurmorant is elated by the new policy of "internationalisation" (a term currently en vogue in Coeurmoranian culture.) The more conservative factions of the government, however, have formed a new "National Party." They admit that it was never a de jure isolationism, but hold that de facto isolationism is just as legitimate and unbreakable.

They claim that Richard IV is an "illegitimate king," and will not pledge their allegiance to him at the opening of this year's Parliament in Enjorlas, therefore breaking a de facto law themselves.

Meanwhile, the king and government prepare for national elections and the inauguration, both just days away (elections on the 14th, innaugurations on the 15th.)

The government will release a list of parties eligible for elections soon.
