Danversian Emperor Noah III shocked the world in a press conference today.
"I am hereby disbanding the entire Danversian government in favor of a new one. First off, I am replacing Parliament and the Prime Minister with a system more like that of the United States. The current parliament will be made into a senate, and Prime Minister Edward Claron into the nation's first president. The only difference is that the King will have equal power as the President, essentially creating two presidents, although only one is elected. I believe this will give more power to the people as Parliament seemed more like a show than anything. Second, I am renaming our Imperial part of the government. This is merely a show that we are moving away from our Imperial past of conquering and moving toward peace. The emperor is to be renamed the King, his wife the Queen, and so on. All instances of the word 'Imperial' in organizations etc. will be replaced with Royal. Finally, with the consent of the people, I am disposing the Caliph doctrine which outlined our countries laws, and replacing it with a Constitution. I feel this will make our transition much smoother. Claron will serve 5 years, after which time we will hold our first elections."
The press conference ended ubruptly as a member of the IBI/RBI whispered in the King's ear. Another press release is rumored for later today, possibly explaining the nature of the information.

In an announcement from the Royal Buereu of Investigation Headquarters, RBI Head Richmond Jean stated they knew who was responsible for the assassination of late Emperor Marcus X.
"We have significant evidence to prove that the assassination was not planned and carried out by merely one individual. This was carefully planned and carried out by a group of individuals. We also have enough evidence to prove that the group that carried out this attack is the terrorist organization Heritigio Anapesto."
Alexander Pesta, Supreme Commander of Anapest, had this to say: "I would like to remind everyone that I am no longer a member of Heritigio Anapesto. It was my political party back in Danversia, and it was my faction in the Revolution, but I am now no longer a member. Accusations that I am their leader are completely false, as their leader, Georgio Sezaar, is currently imprisoned in Danversia. I do not supply, organize, or participate in attacks made by Heritigio Anapesto."
King Noah III made no comment in reply to Pesta's statement.
