Colerica

I'm Kathren Movan, of the Colerican Imperial News network. Today, sirens and alarms blared throughout the United Empire of Colerica. At long last, the Colerican Civil War was over. An official surrender treaty -- signed by remaining survivors of the Confederate government -- was drawn up and signed. The Confederacy ceases to exist, by terms of the treaty, and the United Empire is now whole again.
Today, officially marked as Re-Unification Day, has been celebrated throughout the UEC with fireworks and dances. Such celebrations are usually reserved for Imperator Day (the Emperor's birthday; March 4th) or the Colerican Independance Day (December 11th), however, as a result of the end of the bloodshed, the fatigued nation is happy to finally have the war over with.
As part of the surrender treaty that was signed, Lieutenant Emperor Pro Tempor, Kircer Danton -- nephew of our beloved Emperor -- has been placed in command as Viceroy of all of the former Confederate states. All Confederate soldiers are to be "severely punished" for their treason. All ranking leaders in the ex-Confederacy are to be hunted down, arrested, trialed, and hung for treason. Anyone caught helping ex-Confederates will be treated the same.
Kressi Thra, Magistrate of State, released this statement:
After so much blood and so many tears from broken homes, this vile civil strife is finally over. All of Colerica has longed for this day since the war began and now we have finally come to see it fulfilled. Under the great wartime leadership of Emperor Thra, my beloved older brother, the United Empire has come out of this civil war stronger and more unified than we were prior.
Dev SigNar, Magistrate of Internal Affairs, said in his address to the Imperial Court:
We, as Colericans, can finally rest safely at night. We are no longer at war. The days of Colericans killing Colericans are over.
Astaron Tyrannus, a prominant Imperial advisor and reverred member of the Imperial Court, said this in his address to the body:
We have waited and waited for this day. The war has tested our resolve. It has tested our character. It has tested our unity as a nation. I am glad to say that we have passed all of those tests with flying colors.
The Emperor is expected to deliver a speech some time later tonight. We will, of course, be sure to cover it.

ABOVE: A new map of the United Empire shows the changes that have taken place among the states. Two former Rebel states have now been divided, as punishment.
OOC: A couple of things to make note of. The Imperial Court is about as much of a Senate as my nation has. It is a gathered group of dignified men and women in the United Empire who speak on varying issues and advise the Emperor. They suggest laws and vote on them, however, the Emperor has the final word on any law and he has the final word on the use of military force for whatever reason he wants.
Secondly, yes, I know, I stole the images of Coruscant and Tyranus from Star Wars. I'm unoriginal in that respect. Sue me. :) (Lucasfilm, that 'sue me' comment isn't serious....;) )
