OOC: Not sure where I should post this, because it affects any future RK RP I do, but it's maybe not IC enough for II. I think I posted this sort of thing in II and it stayed there... anyway, less chat, more stuff.

The current year in RK is 2254CE.

IC-ish-esque: 50 years have passed since the failed 200th anniversary concert, and during that time RK has generally averted the gaze of the international community. During that time:

The Human Chairman, Dr. Nathan Atille, died of a shock-induced heart attack on hearing of the concert's failure and has been replaced with another female. Elaine Collins is now the incumbent HC and therefore de facto Head of State for RK.
All embargoes, sanctions etc have been lifted. All transgressions have been forgiven as part of a "new era" approach championed by Collins.
RK still lays its claim to one of Earth's NEOs, and has, following the exhaustion of its resources, developed its mining colony on it (Eyria) to become a residential hub and launch site for subsequent long-distance space missions.
The Ark is still floating in space...
Salera Bonman-Perita's body has finally been disposed of, quietly and without the normal state funeral usually granted to a deceased head of state.
The RK Voluntary Army has been disbanded, with military functions now being carried out by mercenary groups. One of these, the BotG or "Blade of the Government", is state-condoned. (OOC: Sue me for slowly introducing my obsession with FF8 into NationStates)
