Same goes for Jaslandia's royals. The King is in his late 40s, while the Prince Regent is in his 30s, so barring something unexpected, they'll be around for quite some time.

The Mercunovan Consuls are two old bastards, but we Mercunovites tend to live a long time!

Is the Prince Regent the son of the King? If so, how old was the King when the Prince was born?

The Prince Regent is the King's younger brother, actually. King Michael has multiple children, but even the oldest hadn't yet come of age when Michael assumed the throne, so it was Michael's brother Jason who became Prince Regent.

When the King's oldest child comes of age, will that child become the Regent? Or will Jason remain regent?

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Queen Victoria II has died. She was admitted yesterday due to a minor circulatory problem of the head and was expected to make a full recovery, but unfortunately passed away this morning. Prime Minister Hubik has also announced a referendum to be held in the coming weeks (Probably tomorrow if I feel up to it) on whether or not the Monarchy will be abolished and a Republic established, or if the search for a Monarch will be held.

Really sorry to hear that, Minnie. Why do all these monarchs have to do? Anyway, here's Thomas's statement:

"On behalf of the nation of Percyton, I would like to express my condolences and sympathy to the Minboan people on the death of their monarch. Victoria was a noble and well-respected ruler who will be missed dearly. Percyton strongly approves of Au Minbo holding a democratic referendum, and provided the referendum is fairly conducted, will support the will of the Minboan people."

The Penguanian Royal Family send its deepest condolences to the people of Au Minbo. The Blue Bloods Club will keep Queen Victoria in mind as one of the best monarchs on the world.

Seeing the current constitutional crisis her death created Au Minbo remains a member of the Blue Bloods Club until such point it is settled.

Mdogao wrote:When the King's oldest child comes of age, will that child become the Regent? Or will Jason remain regent?

The King's eldest, Crown Prince Lawrence, is in his 20s now, so he's been of age for a while. However, there isn't a real rush for Lawrence to become regent: Lawrence still wants to get more training and experience, and everyone (including Lawrence) is pretty happy with the job Jason is doing, so they don't see a need to change. When there is a demand for Lawrence to become regent, Jason will transfer power and step down, although since Jason is a workaholic, that might be difficult.

Thanks, but we don't usually do it that way. Usually, the monarch just assumes power (with their power being roughly equivalent to the U.S. President, perhaps slightly weaker) directly without need for a regent. However, Michael is a very naive and fun-loving man who has no interest in actually ruling, so his advisers convinced him to transfer his political powers to Prince Jason, while King Michael continues to carry on the monarch's ceremonial roles. When Lawrence ascends to the throne, he will assume direct power and will do away with the regent position.

True. Although, Michael already wasn't thrilled about the idea of being monarch, so convincing him to give up power wasn't very difficult at all.

Lancaster led the Commonwealth Revolt against Baxten, liberating us (with the help of a close friend, Cassandria). But he wasn't much of a monarch in the traditional sense. Like your Michael, he didn't want to be Monarch (he took the throne out of necessity), so he stripped the royal family of all its power when he helped draft The Federal Constitution.

But, sure, he was a good Monarch out of power. Married a guy and established a college

Vista Major was hardly a concept in the 11th century, by my current timeline. We're talking late 1500s. You have the Universalist Church to thank for the social tolerance, not to say that it wasn't still a shock.

Seriously, what the actual living f*ck happened here. Keizer's dead, Queen Victoria's dead, war almost broke out from miscommunication, and a troll's plaguing the region. Oh well, adding a message on Keizer's death :p

IC:

[spoiler]Nassau Citadel, 9:00 PM, December 8

Roland Sheard, better known as the Governor of the Commonwealth, was slumped against the wall of his cell, the small pitiful burlap sack filled with old Shillings and government bills that served as his cot soaked from the dripping ceiling. Looking up at the wall, he grabbed the shard of glass that served as his only possession and scraped the wall with the 120th mark on the wall, signalling the 120 days since imprisonment. The moonlight peered through the small hole at the top, the waves of the sea lapping against the cliff that the Citadel was built atop of.

As the hours passed, he heard the guards that patrolled the wing chattering once more. Pressing against the steel door, he heard the discussion more clearly, "Did you hear about the Baxtonian king?" "The Keizer?" a second voice stated, confused in tone. "Yeah, that's him: the old bastard dropped dead from cancer. Looks like the high life didn't save him this time," the first concluded as he chuckled, finishing with the swig of a bottle. "Really?" the second voice said, flicking open a lighter, "Didn't expect an old man like him would die from that: I'd imagined a round to the head, or the car blowing up him and the family."

Sheard backed away, eyes widened, 'Christ, I was planning on him still living to help us with the Libertarans, Mercunovites and Unfallions from conflict. If he's dead, then how would the kid and dowager handle things?' he thought, only to hear additional footsteps. The guards quickly began to yell, "Halt! This is a restricted area! Leave or prepare to die!" the first voice said, only for the snarl of a gun to mow him down, the slump joined by the first man's compatriot seconds later. The door to the cell rattled, Sheard wincing at the candlelight, the figure stepping forward and picking him up. Looking at him, Sheard could tell the man was from the Defence Battalion, yet he was rescuing him.

"You shouldn't have come here, Colonel: the rest of the Citadel's bound to come soon." The Colonel simply unlocked the cuff on Sheard's ankle, the chain linked to the spike in the cell's center falling. Grabbing a set of boots from one of the corpses, the Colonel tossed it to Sheard, along with the heavy ceramic vest PS90 from one of the other Battalion members. "Black Hawk's waiting for us at the top: we'll brief you on the details, Sir," the Colonel said in that cold, mechanical voice the Battalion used.

Three hours later, Abaco Island

Sheard shifted in the heavy vest, his emaciated body still trying to adjust to the armor and clothing. The Colonel, Pera, had directed a squad, Kilo, to rescue the Governor and bring him to safety. Now, the majority of Kilo rested in the small fort that once attacked imperial ships, while Sheard and Pera remained in the central hall.

"Well, Colonel, I expect you know about the current predicament the Commonwealth faces, what with that resolution signed by King Isabelle, and the death of the Keizer: personally, the latter worries me ,especially since I had planned to discuss a deal with him at some point regarding security."

Pera simply nodded, pointing at one of the maps laying on the table, "With the orders handed to us, the Battalion is now stretched thin, with the company directed to Africa having long since died, and other companies falling to hostile conditions all throughout our strongholds. We were planning on starting a mutiny, but the Unified Security Forces are holding more than enough equipment to push us back. Us liberating you from that hellhole is part of a plan we're making."

"And that is?" Sheard said, worry creeping in his voice.

"Simple," Pera said as he placed a picture of Keizerin Sabrine and of Amsterdam, "we're taking you to talk with the Keizerin about surrendering the Commonwealth to ITF control."

Elements, my dear

i know ive made myself unpopular, and Im sorry, but ive raised some issues about the government that you all have to admit are important:

1. Why arent there any Constitutional instructions on what those who control the founder account can do with it? Do the people with the password to the account just get to follow their conscience without any legal precedent?

2. Vista Major said I was not a resident and have no rights, but there is no definition of what is a resident or how to become one. In fact, the current citizenship roster says there are 85 residents, so I'm pretty sure I'm included in that and do have rights. So how you do become a resident? And if there are 85 residents, why am I not one, Vista?

1. The powers and responsibilities of the Founder account are detailed in our Law Code, not the Constitution. Since the Founder is a non-government position, it wouldn't be in our highest word of law. Furthermore, those who own the Founder account have proven themselves to be trustworthy individuals.

2. On the same note, Citizenship and Residency is regulated by our Law Code, and is non synonymous with simply living in this region. You have to apply for citizenship or residency to receive such. Seeing as there is no record of you on our citizenship roster, you are not a citizen or a resident, and therefore are not entitled to enjoy our liberties.

Not that applying for citizenship would make this situation any better. You have proven yourself to be a threat to regional peace and our general well-being (calling me an "Ass", for one). Unless you can truly make yourself the contrary, consider yourself not welcome here.
