Amokolia, honor roll, Elwynn, etc, etc.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

All hail Kaiseress Anandja I! Have you hailed her yet? Okay, good. Now that that's over with...

The new Kaiseress' first big legislative project has been to update the honors system: see Decrees 366, 368, and 370. Congratulations to all newly honored people, and the new Imperial Advisors and Steward, and to Leo Dine, our new Minister of the Exterior, and to Ardashir Osmani, our new Minister of Military Affairs. Speaking of the Exterior and the Military, some people say we might be annexing Amokolia soon. Others say we'll need to bamboozle the MCS first. Still others say FILL OUT THE KRONDOKIN/IKOLSTYME CENSUS NOW MALARBOR DEMANDS IT!

Elwynn's role-playing work continues; the kidnapping of the Duke has degenerated into an ancient war between Treesian deities (which reminds me: HAPPY TREESIA DAY!), all going on concurrently with a crisis involving giant 47,000 year old spiders. Yeah. So. Stay out of Elwynn for the next few days, if you've got any sense. You could try going to Brookshire and celebrating the ascension of their new Duke (who is also a poet). In other news: Maksym Hadi...Hadji...Hajime...that Jewish guy is back, any Duchy caught not updating their wiki page will face an Imperial Smackdown, a bunch of military purchases are going on, Greg and Shy will be collaborating on more mythology, some sorta sports league or something, and a poet laureate.

We've got a new hard-working Kaiseress, a bunch of ambitious plans, a citizen count as high as it's ever been, and a whole summer opening up ahead of us. Let's roll!
