Cotenshire

Just a few days earlier, the Lord Chancellor had made it aware to King William V of the existence of rap music and its popularity in the world outside of Cotenshire. Feeling an opportunity to boost his personal prestige, William V took it upon himself to appoint a “Court Rapper”.
“What do you think of my decision?” asked the King to Lord Chancellor Arthur Rockingham.
“It is a wonderful idea, my liege. I have never heard rap music, though. Is it like anything that I may have heard?”
“I have never heard it either, Lord Chancellor, but if it is so popular in these other nations, then it would reflect good upon our court to have an appointed Court Rapper. As far as the music itself, I know it has generated some controversy, but it can not possibly be any more reckless than the compositions of the Romantic Era.”
And so the King sent a message to all the countries of the world:
