Region: Empire of Great Britain
New Flag
New Name
New Menorica.
The United Islandic Provinces of Menorica shall use it's previous Colonial flag as it's unofficial standard, And a historical flag.
The Coat of Arms will not change
The Menorican Anthem will not change.
Saint Arsenio
Now that the N day event is over what is the situation on my Bill that I proposed to the House
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Crazy events like N-Day isn't over yet, As Zombie Apocalypse (Z-Day) looms next in the Internationals. We may be done now, But we're not finished yet. We do have time to prepare for an ACTUAL attack on our region AND country, As it's mainly through the day of All Hallows Eve's Eve-All Hallows Day, Just a slight warning to all who doesn't know.
Saint Arsenio
House proceedings shall recommence tomorrow. I will post the new link imminently.
Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio
There has been an issue with the new forum page. I will rectify it as soon as possible. Apologies for the delay.
Lunayria, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Any update on the return of Parliament?
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
I know there was a complication with the new Commons forum page. However, the Queen has yet to provide the link or elaborate on the situation in communications with me.

Message from the Government
Celtic Britain has ceased to exist. The Government believes this to be for the best, as the region represented an unpleasant chapter in Imperial History as well as providing no strategic or diplomatic benefits and having a population of exactly one nation, which was a puppet of HRH the Prince of Wales.
On behalf of the Cabinet, I wish all of our citizens a pleasant week to come.
God save the Empress!
-The Prime Minister
The Founding Father, Colfax County, Lunayria, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
WE MUST END THE MODS UNDEMOCRATIC PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT!! STOP THE COUP!! (Anyone who is actually British will get what I'm talking about)
God save the Empress!
Oh, I'm not British, but I get it as well.
Saint Arsenio
Is there any update on the return of Parliament? I am concerned about our current situation and would appreciate some detail on what is being done to rectify it, as I'm sure the rest of us would too.

New Playlist Coming For Z-Day 2019, Will Be Much More Bad Than The N-Day Playlist!

If the Monarch does not reopen the House, I will do so as Speaker of the House.
Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Menorica
A warm welcome to Imperial German Commonwealth!
The Founding Father, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Imperial German Commonwealth
Thank you Mr. Speaker
The Founding Father, Menorica
Is it possible to have Parliament opened ASAP surely by now there must a solution to the forum problem
Not-Brittania, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Theres almost no way that what Saint Arsenio and Menorica have been accused of is true. I demand to see evidence of this so called treachery!
Lunayria
I agree with my colleague. Furthermore, under Article II, Section II of the Imperial Constitution, both Saint Arsenio and Menorica are entitled to due process.
Lunayria
In the absence of the Home Secretary, I will temporarily re-assume that position.
Lunayria
I have written to her majesty on that matter, although she is yet to reply. I do agree a trial must be held.
I Would also like to see this evidence. Did they even get a chance to defend themselves?
Newtopian Britain
no
Lunayria
So they were not even given a trial before they were ejected and banned?
no
Let the courts have their say;
we demand a fair trial!
The Founding Father
The Supreme Court is currently not in session due to the fact that no justices have been appointed to sit on the Court. Therefore, a trial shall not be possible.
A NEW DELEGATE
We are in need of a new World Assembly Delegate to represent the Empire within the halls of the World Assembly and throughout the world.
I believe no one is more suited to this important role than Newtopian Britain. I encourage all WA nations to endorse him as soon as possible.
The cabinet politely requests that Your Majesty name a President of the Supreme Court so that a trial can take place.
I can only nominate a candidate for President of the Supreme Court. It is for the House of Commons to hold a confirmation hearing and vote.
Your majesty, is it possible to sit the Commons in the discord server?
Lunayria
Im done. Im sorry. Goodbye.
The Queen has cracked and fled the region. I call for an emergency session of the House of Commons, Cabinet and populace at large to determine our path moving forward.
Newtopian Britain
I agree with Not-Brittania we need an emergency session of the house of commons Now! Her Majesty has all but abdicated her post as head of state. Her powers are now at risk of being taken by those who wish to harm the empire.
Newtopian Britain
also the solution to the forum problem is quite clear and that is the have it in the Portal to multiverse section of the forum boards as such discussions such as our house of commons would be permitted there as far as i am aware
Lunayria, Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain
How long would this take to set up?
Seeing that we don't have a forum set up for the House of Commons I propose that we temporarily hold the House of Commons in the RMB or through Telegrams
Newtopian Britain
P2tm is stuff not related to NS. It would not be allowed there. I request an emergency session of the House of Commons to be held in the discord server.
I suggested P2tm as this is what the moderator who shut our previous thread suggested. Discord could also work
Post self-deleted by Gwerncyned.
Hello everyone. As you may know there was a misunderstanding. On Thursday, Her Majesty The Queen dismissed me (Menorica) and His Royal Highness Saint Arsenio. I want you ALL to know that Menorica would NEVER, Not even in a million years even if this site would still exist, would ever commit to any treason between state and crown. Menorica and Saint Arsenio is purely innocent. On Thursday, After i got the news that Menorica and Saint Arsenio was dismissed, I gave out a very long statement privately to Her Majesty The Queen to prove innocence. It's quite lengthy, really. Probably the longest statement i have created on my time here on NationStates. When i became Home Secretary, in the very beginning, i automatically swore an oath as a loyalist to the Constitution just by stepping into the position. I had never intend to bring down the constitutional powers of Her Majesty The Queen nor replace it. I do agree that this does need proper investigation, I've even said to The Queen personally that i would be willing to put my account at risk rather than betray it. As crazy as it looked it is a moment that i would rather have than be the one to be known as a traitor in anyone's time in their history on NationStates. At the time The Queen was being told with the misunderstanding information, I was listening to track videos on YouTube on what to add to my Z-Day Playlist to make the upcoming game much more fun. Menorica is pro-union and pro-monarchist, And shall forever be until the day the nation goes extinct.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

The discord is currently in the process of deciding how a supreme court president should be picked. Once one is picked an investigation will begin in due course. Most likely on the discord but we will see....
Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Imperial German Commonwealth
Oh, how great it feels to be back. I'd like to formally thank everyone for fighting for us.
If the Nation that lied to Her Majesty, and got both Menorica and I banned, is still here, please join this Discord Server: https://discord.gg/zbeTTA7 to provide the rest of us the proof that you presented to Her Majesty.
No Nations have left in a while. I ask everyone to keep that in mind.
Thank You.
Menorica
Seems a coup is afoot
Doesn't look like a coup
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio
Are you the Nation that did this? Please telegram me.
Could someone please explain to me what on earth happened?
I got a TG from Prime Minister Not-Brittania regarding Saint Arsenio's immediate dismal from the position as Governor of HKI.
If I could get the full story that would be great.
Sincerely,
I know very little, but basically Saint Arsenio was accused of manipulating Her Majesty into granting them more power. So was Menorica. Both were ejected and banned, an action which has now been reversed following lengthy explanations on Menorica and Saint Arsenio's parts.
Saint Arsenio
And the Queen has fled the region.
Saint Arsenio
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you weren't kidding. Well, who's gonna lead us?
Announcement from the Speaker
In the absence of the Monarch, I will officially open a new forum page for the House of Commons tomorrow.
The House will debate the ongoing emergency and liase with the Prime Minister and Government on how best to deal with the situation.
The forum will be for the use of Members of Parliament only. However, I would encourage all citizens to follow the debate and continue to post comments on the RMB as we look to resolve this crisis.
Sincerely,
Speaker of the House of Commons
Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
Is it possible to simply telegram the Monarch and try to convince her to return? Because a Founder is hard to remove from power, but an elected official (i.e non-Founder) is fairly easy to remove now that the WA Delegacy comes with Executive power due to the Founder's departure.
Her departure seems, at least to me, highly uncharacteristic and too contrived.
Saint Arsenio
this seems like it will get locked again. forums usually aren't for regional sh*t. hold it in the nationstates forum and it might go through
The Founding Father, Saint Arsenio
The Monarch has proven herself to be an authoritarian figure with no respect for our Constitution or democratic way of life.
We should not invite her back. Nor should we encourage it in any way, shape or form.
Newtopian Britain
I never thought would ever happen on my time here in EOGB. I am very disappointed towards Her Majesty. She was this very Patriotic, Influential, Defensive, Empowering, Acceptive, and an outstanding fierce figurehead. A recreation of the real life current Queen. Even when i was being a little annoying with the anthem loyalism and flag changing she still loved it anyway, To the point where it's the first thing you see on the region's Constitution, and had no hesitance of liking the post(s) about it. Not to mention she was the only regional monarch with a functioning Real Regional Government to be Queen of the region; An Amazing Empire. Making the region feel more British than other British-themed regions, Especially the most popular one " United Kingdom " - As her a great monarch of a great region, I am personally wondering how could Her Majesty do this to us?
Saint Arsenio, Imperial German Commonwealth
Not from what I've seen in previous posts. The banjection of Saint Arsenio And Menorica was a misunderstanding, I would say. Although yes, Her Majesty did sort of forget that they were entitled to due process.
Saint Arsenio
If you havent already. I strongly urge every WA Nation to endorse Lunayria. This will ensure the region is secure.
Lunayria, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
You haven't been here very long. This was the second time in as many months that the Queen suspended the Constitution that she wrote.
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
The House is now open!

The Foreign Office formally requests that Saint Arsenio be immediately reinstated as the Governor of Hong Kong Island without delay.
His initial dismissal was unconstitutional and therefore invalid.
The Founding Father, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Imperial German Commonwealth
Would i be able to get my position back as Home Secretary?
The Founding Father, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Imperial German Commonwealth
I believe you should be reinstated into the Cabinet by the Prime Minister. We need a fully functioning government during these trying times.
Your removal too was unconstitutional and therefore invalid.
The Founding Father, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Imperial German Commonwealth
Yes. Welcome back!
The Founding Father, Colfax County, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Imperial German Commonwealth
Done.
The Founding Father, Colfax County, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Imperial German Commonwealth
Just a quick fyi, for those who haven't stumbled upon my dispatch pages yet and seen the only dispatch there, this is Eripolis's puppet. I was with you all a while back, and decided to come back here by using this nation (so I wouldn't have to use my main).
Sorry for not telling you all before.
I'm just gonna sit here and watch how the region reorganizes itself.
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
So, will I be able to claim my position as Crown Prince?
Menorica
Thank You! Like i said this all came out of nowhere without any real proof of treason. I have no idea why would Her Majesty would do such a thing to 2 nations that deeply respects the union and crown. To the point of one having to bring Patriotism into the region almost every other day, And the other having to stand on Her Majesty's side as the Prince of Wales.
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio
Invitation to the Prime Minister
I hereby invite, on behalf of every Member of Parliament, the Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain to formally address the House of Commons.
The motion to invite the Prime Minister to speak was passed unanimously. We hope Not-Brittania will address the chamber at his earliest convenience and provide an update on the current situation.
Respectfully,
TRH Speaker of the House of Commons

House Annoucnement
The Prime Minister has now addressed the House of Commons.
Members are invited to review the proposal brought forward by the Prime Minister and offer their opinion.

Are we going to keep this Region? If we keep it locked, it could keep more members from joining, however if we unlock it, it leaves more room for raiders to attack.
What are everyone else's thoughts on this matter?
(Also, since you guys chose to make this an Elective Monarchy, I guess you can take my Crown Prince title away).
The Founding Father, Menorica
I have no idea what is going to happen next, I was already unexpected as it is to see Her Majesty The Queen this way. And i think the region being locked is so Her Majesty wouldn't be able to join back and try to suppress our regional authorities and ban us again unwarned, unexplained. As Her Majesty would still have power over the region as founder. Unlocking the region could be a risk, But at the same rate a good thing if newer members were trying to join throughout these 2 and a half weeks.
The lock is temporary, Until we can straighten this situation out between Us 2 and Her Majesty The Queen. Should there be a long apology to the region; especially to the victims involved if Her Majesty does return, my suggestion.
The Founding Father, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
The last half a year has not been good for the Empire as a whole. We have had to endure various periods of instability and authoritarian rule due to the unbalanced nature of our Monarch.
This is why I believe introducing an elected monarchy, which maintains our imperial institutions whilst strengthening our democratic practices, is the best course of action for the region.
Yes, we may very well be attacked more frequently by invaders and pests. However, this vulnerability will unite our Empire around a common cause - the protection and safeguarding of our home region.
Refounding should be our last option and a lifetime Monarch should never be an option ever again.
TRH Speaker of the House of Commons
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
My preference is to keep the region. However, I do believe we will need to adopt certain practices and procedures to ensure our continued security.
Firstly, we will need to legally require all WA members to endorse the Delegate. Refusal to do so would result in sanctions, possibly expulsion or ban.
Secondly, we will need to introduce the constitutionally required Citizenship Application. The Home Office will review and register all nations who enter the region and wish to reside here permanently.
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
It's time....Again. This time, We're actually UNDER ATTACK!

What strategy should we adopt as a region?
Saint Arsenio
Whats the plan come Z-Day btw?
Wasnt our strategy to research a cure last time?
Saint Arsenio
If thats the plan thats the plan, think i was afc last z-day, everyone died...
Our priority will be cure research and defense. Unlike N-Day, we usually don't get steamrolled in this one.
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Hello! I'm thankful that we have established embassies! You all are welcome to post on our RMB anytime, as well as start-up discussions, so long as you are civil!

Z-Day Apocalypse has begun!
The Founding Father, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio
Oops, I accidentally launched a Horde on Menorica. I had chosen Cure!
Edit: Okay, so you have to wait to get Cure Missiles. Now I get it!
Saint Arsenio
Z-Day has now concluded!
I believe we should seriously consider holding a referendum on the future of our region. Unfortunately, I do not believe we have enough invested members in our community to continue.
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
We have 10 or 11 more days to act, If not found an official answer, The Monarchy might be destroyed as Her Majesty's account would go extinct and we would have failed to protect the Monarchy before the extinction of The Queen's account.
Saint Arsenio
I have proposed an Act in the House of Commons to introduce an elected monarchical head of state known as the Imperator.
However, the response to this proposal has been quite underwhelming.
The Holy Brittannian Empire, Newtopian Britain, Menorica
The government has posted a referendum. Please read the choices and vote for which ever option you think is best for our community.
The Founding Father, Newtopian Britain, Menorica
I like the Imperator idea, however, I feel that it wouldn't really represent Great Britain, if you get what I'm saying. I think we should stick with our current system.
Can we trust anyone with the huge authority of a Founder-Monarch?
The Founding Father, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Was there no obvious successor with the title Prince of Wales?
If not would be a clever way of solving future succession crises, one could even have a list of verified citizens of the region(to deter raids) who could vote for who would take the mantle. Idk just spitballing rn
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
Well, I was the Prince of Wales, however, due to the circumstances, I could see why people would have a hard time trusting me now, if at all.
If you all don't want to use the Prince of Wales thing, we could always go with the Imperator idea, I was just sharing my opinion.
The Holy Brittannian Empire, Newtopian Britain, Menorica
Well look the line of succession is therefore clear, this argument spouts of republicanism to me, reminding me of the Abdication crises over King-Emperor Edward VIII, look I say that the king is the king and politics is politics, if the Queen abdicated her post then the job falls to her successor, which it seems is our man Saint Arsenio.
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
It is with deep sadness that I announce the retirement of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. I have ascended the throne, and I hope that we can push past all the confusion, and continue to make progress within our great Empire. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me a telegram.
The Holy Brittannian Empire, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
So are we still refounding or not?
This is nothing but a mockery of our individual freedoms and democratic institutions.
Saint Arsenio, you are nothing but the puppet of the authoritarian dictator who has spread discontent throughout this region and has now returned to seed more unhappiness.
How can either of you be considered legitimate?
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain
Post self-deleted by Lunayria.
This is not making a mockery of your freedoms. Our Region was based off of an Empire, and there was a line of succession.
I don't appreciate being called the "puppet" of an "authoritarian dictator," because neither of those statements are true. I have remained loyal to this region since my being here, and so have many others, but we can't say the same thing about a few other Nations here.
Quite ironic.
Menorica
I come on earlier to vote on the poll but it was deleted, Her Majesty Queen Victoria has returned and some statements made. Could someone please explain the situation ASAP.
GOD SAVE THE KING, LONG LIVE THE KING, GOD SAVE THE KING!
