NEWS REPORT FROM MAKAAR MINISTRY OF THE CROWN
This morning, the constitutional monarchy state of Makaar gained a new king under the terms of The Parliament Act. This new King is the son of assassinated King George III, who signed the Parliament Act to make his son King days before he died.

The Ministry of the Crown has denied claims that King William has a drug problem and have assigned the Duke of Gryhor to act as Leader of the Protectorate States.

Ivor Hyell, Minister for Overseas Development, commented on the current state of affairs in the Protectorate States, "The war of liberation here is intensifying. Government troops have been pushed back to their picket lines and rebel factions have siezed the northern city of Chak."

After his coronation, the King granted new powers to Parliament granting them the use of the Conscription Act, last enforced in 1918, to call up troops to help with the fighting. As a result, almost 2,000 civilians have been drafted to the front line.

"It looks unlikely our troops can hold the front line," said Prime Minister Yvek Cavan at a news conference yesterday. "I only hope our new king can inspire the troops when he is crowned tomorrow.

I would like you to know that the Emporer will be attending this ceramony personaly. The Emporer also hopes that, perhaps after the Coronation King William may find the time to discuss the prospect of my countrys aid in the war.

We the people of Belshazzaria would like King William to know that our Catholic Government will send the Prime Cathedral Minister, Cardinal Dr. Ben-Judah Haganah. He will arrive with an entourage of four others, they will al be noticable, because they all wear the Red Robes of a Cardinal and will bear the symbol of Belshazzaria, a Star of David with a cross on either side. We would also like to enter into an alliance with Makaar.

OOC: Telegram me with your response.

Our forces stationed in your nation will help as much as they can, although we request that they not be required to fire on the self-proclaimed liberationists until fired on. We are deeply sorry for the recent troubles in your nation, and stress that a rebellion in these black times is far more likely to consist of free-thinking, compassionate peoples, rather than true enemies to your nation.

OOC: Sorry dude if they're the terrorists who spread the pox to start with!

In honor of this great event, the Nationalist Government of Aubain shall send the new king a gift basket filled with the most exotic Aubainian fruits, and finest Aubainian wines. The government cannot send anyone to attend, due to the civil war taking place.

As you know, Mabulia and the Mabulian people, are very resentful of Monarchy of any form. However, we would like to wish the King good luck in governing Makaar.

Otto Schroeder, Minister of Foreign Affairs

I would like to attend the coronation if I may. I have been recently crowned myself after the unfortunate death of my aunt, Angela Saarad. I would like to bring with me an honor guard of ten soldiers. Let me know if this is acceptable.

Secondly, I offer whatever assistance you may need against the rebels in your Protectorate States. Again, respond soon if you would like me to send money, supplies, medicine, weapons, or troops.

OOC: I think it's only fair to inform you that I'm post-modern tech (meaning limited spaceflight, etc.), in case you do decide to accept my aid.
