Our glorious region has eagerly awaited this occasion, and with the current system that never fails to disappoint they were given it on a silver platter! This past month’s general elections were a country-wide spectacle for the ages! Following the opening of registration on 7 February, 2017 by His Imperial Britannic Majesty the stands were immediately swarmed by a mass of hopeful applicants seeking a seat in the upcoming terms Imperial Parliament. The twenty-fourth of its kind, this election’s turnout was impeccable, featuring a race between no less than four members of The Pax Britannica Party, one member from The Conservative Party, one member from The United Centrifical Party, and four independent candidates! In what was seen as a highly competitive contest, only seven of the ten were able to prevail, leaving three conceding in defeat. The results of The February General Elections are as follows:
[b]Arthur K. Vasentius (IND) 25 (12.3%)[/b]
[b]Arthur Pendragon (PAX) 26 (12.8%)[/b]

[font=Times New Roman][color=#000]The Continuation Of An Era; after a term that was seen as one of our Kingdom’s finest ended with The February General Elections one can only imagine what the next premiership will seek to accomplish. Well, the answer is that it may not end up being that different after all, as Prime Minister Constantine Hesse has confirmed the fact that he plans to seek reelection upon the expiration of his term on 28 February, 2017. Securing his reelection to The House Of Commons, The Prime Minister is set to address the house in the upcoming week’s Tuesday to discuss his confirmation as Prime Minister once again. Hard at work already, His Highness shifted his cabinet following his reelection. Appointing Victoria Alexandria to the Home Office, a position that was previously held by Charles Lancaster, naming Arthur Pendragon as his Deputy Prime Minister, and signing off on Mary Elizabeth Lancaster’s ascension to the position of The Attorney General. In a region in which everyone must expect the unexpected, we all look on as Mr. Hesse and his cabinet seek one more term in office![/color][/font][/center]

[font=Times New Roman][color=#000]This month has been an excellent month to be a part of His Majesty’s Royal Marine Corps, operation after operation after operation! Firing on all cylinders, the royal marines continue to push on, displaying their shows of strength at nearly every update. Now the home of The Blues And Royals, The Royal Scot's Dragoon Guard, and The Royal Welsh Guard, our updater unit is now capable of being deployed many places at many different times. In a month which witnessed extreme advancements in recruitment by our Regimental Sergeant Major, the complete restructuring of our entire organization system for the corps, the addition of two newly implemented ranks, and many large-scale operations, His Majesty’s Royal Marine Corps has begun the process of establishing itself as a world power in NationStates!

The marines kept up military action this month in pace with their post-holiday boom both in joint military operations and in KGB-centered operations. The most brilliant of this month's activity featured a joint op with The Black Hawks and several other regions to take one of the largest raidable regions on NationStates - Illuminati. The marines showed up with an updating force of massive numbers, surpassed only by The Black Hawks themselves and with the help of The Mafia, Arda en Estel, The Universal Allegiance, The Order of the Sword, The West Pacific Armed Forces, Kingdom of Alexandria, Unknown, Land of Kings and Emperors, HYDRA Command, Osiris, Albion, Katrias, and JTF surprised the Illuminites with a sudden regional takeover. This raid began four months ago with a sleeper placed in the region by Black Hawk Lieutenant Rai Vasentius and continues with endorsements in the region now reaching triple digits. While keeping heavy endorsers in Illuminati, the marines continue to hold South Pacific in a joint op with The Invaders and roll out a steady stream of tag raids as well.

[font=Times New Roman][color=#000]Meanwhile, in the Culture department, ideas are flowing! With several new up and coming features as well as maintaining the “Cupid’s Corner” festival from February, which will be ending soon, and also additionally keeping up with the KGB Radio, folks will not be wondering where the team is at. Though the particulars are a well-kept secret, it is rumoured that the department is working on something that could potentially change the entire culture dynamic of the Kingdom of Great Britain, hopefully resulting in more roleplays, games, and contests in the months to come. Under Prime Minister Constantine Hesse, the team of aurors has never been so lively! From veterans to newcomers, the team is putting their heads together to create an entirely new experience for the region.[/color][/font][/center]
