OOC:

Decided to have a royal family. Couldn't fit the word 'open' into the available title space, so yeah, this is open.
This is a fairly short intro post for a big event, more coming later.

IC:

"Hello, I'm Karin Fredriksen, this is the ABN midday news. Our top story today; The Antigran Royal family, thought to have died out in the 1970s, is being reinstated.
The Government has revealed that, after months of careful family tracing and research, that Fredrik Hallen Ottestad, a forty-two-year-old man who relocated back to Antigr three and a half months ago, is indeed our new, fully legitimate, King.

You may remember back to 1972 when, in the last Civil War, the royal family dissapeared and was thought to have being wiped out, missed by so many.
Well, they're back.
The old Brandstedt Palace, the last home of the royal family, is becoming a home again, although parts of it will still be open as a heritage site.

That's all we know, but seven of our correspondents will be keeping us fully updated.

The President and Prime Minister will be keeping their positions, as will future peoples in the same posts, but President Pierce will no longer be head of state.

The United Federal Republic is now the United Royal Kingdom"

Oh, come on. Even crap threads get replies.

As a constitutional monarchy ourselves, the Neo Kirisuban Federation welcomes the return of the Antigran Royal family.

Our Empress sends her best wishes and hopes for the royal family and the Kings government.

Ms Sakura Yamamoto
Ambassador to the WA

From Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Isabella of The Grand Empire of the Ryou Black Islands.

We welcome The Antigran Royal family, as we see their Return as Great as The Meiji Restoration in Japan. Lets hope that the Antigran Restoration is just as great.

The Ixanian Empire wishes to establish diplomatic relations with the United Royal Kingdom of Anglia; hoping that a strong and fruitful friendship between our nations can be built.

Signed,
Ivan Rucinsky,
Foreign Minister

The German Empire congratulates the monarchy and people of Antigr on restoring the traditions of their nations and on creating a government based on the noble principles of constitutional democratic monarchy. We are interested in strengthening our diplomatic ties with Antigr through the expansion of consulate arrangements and cultural institutions in both countries, and investigations of possibilities regarding a trade agreement at some point in the future.

Signed, Georg Friedrich Hohenzollern, German Emperor, King of Prussia and Poland,

Friedrich Glogauer, Chancellor of the German Empire

OOC:

Just technical details for now -

Most things that were previously 'federal' is now 'royal'

E.g. Antigran Federal Artillery > Antigran Royal Artillery

Except directly government stuff.
And I finally get to have a palace guard with shiny rifles and white slings.
Yay!

ooc: shiny rifles are fun but swords are better :)

ic:

A parcel found itself being shuttled down to the surface. The shuttlepod from the 'Blue Sky' landed at the International airport and from there a local courier took over.

A letter was also attached addressed to King reading as follows:

King Hallen Ottestad,

In celebration of the restoration of the Antigran Royal family please find enclosed a gift of the live swords a Neo Kirisuban samurai and our own Imperial family would use. These are a symbol of honour passed down through the generations and are still a viable weapon of war for us.

Ms Sakura Yamamoto
Neo Kirisuban Ambassador to the WA

We thank Neo Kirisubo for their gracious gift and will treasure thease mighty swords.

They will be very useful for making poor people feel poorer, getting rid of annoying tourists, and for famous General's last stands.
(Good thing)
