Official Comment Issued byHer Majesty, Princess Athena Julius-Flavius

"We remind all those that compete for the public endorsement to serve as our legislaters and to governors that with the offices they seek requires a humility and dedication not normally found in any man.

The maintaince of democracy excists because we will it and the furtherment of peace excists because we hope. I emplore those who seek this great burdern to remember that they do so to serve and not be served, to fight and not be fought for and to defend but not be defended.

With this in mind we reming all those involved in this years election that to serve in His Majesty's Parliament only those of the highest ethical and moral standards will suffice."
