Heja Nordreich! Onward to victory!

Congratulations to the Republic, and may their fortune continue alongside their newfound alliance-mates. o/ RoA o/ Monolith

Congrats on the wonders, and the ridiculous announcement, NV.

Interesting theme -- I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Best of luck.

A Coronation Ceremony Esteemed fellow-citizens of Planet Bob, friends of Nordreich, and dignified statesmen, It is with great pleasure that, this afternoon, I come before you to announce an event which Nordreich has seen but four times before this momentous day. It has been twenty-six days since the new charter of Nordreich saw the temporary removal of the position of Kaiser. At the time, in accordance with law and tradition of Nordreich, a suitable successor to Kaiser Kingzog, who brought Nordreich back into the world with foresight and true statesmanship, could not be found. Since that time, one has risen and revealed himself to those responsible for the appointment of the Kaiser—not through words, but through services to Nordreich. He not only gave a means of communication, but indeed a community to Nordreich in the interim between the first and second Nordreich Alliance. He has shown not only distinct and unreserved ability to voice his opinions to the leadership of Nordreich, but a sense of humour and goodwill that has made him a beloved member of the entire Nordreich community. It is on this basis, that, with the approval of my fellow Triumvirs, I am honoured and very pleased to present to Planet Bob the new Kaiser of the Greater Northern Reich: Nemhauser of Chemelot. Likewise, I would also like to present you with an addition to Nordreich nobility, and a clarification of our succession line. After Kingzog’s abdication, without a clear successor, necessity dictated a change in Nordreich’s Charter to clarify future situations of such a nature. In order to smoothen transfer of power and lighten the load on our government, we have established the position of Kronprinz, the successor to our current Kaiser. Having the faith of all in Nordreich, and displaying unparalleled activity amongst our leadership, Vinzent Zeppelin of Vacuum Valley is to be the first Kronprinz of Nordreich. Government Alterations A number of recent changes in government have also occurred. Chiftelos, a distinguished member and former Feldmarschall, has assumed the role of Reichsgeneral, and Sigurd Odinnson, a recent addition, has been made our Minister of Culture and Propaganda. In addition, PuliSher, our dedicated Minister of Interior, who has assisted Vinzent Zeppelin with his economic programmes, has assumed the role of Reichsbanker with the latter’s coronation as Kronprinz. In his stead, Gottrich Northeim has been appointed head of the Ministry of the Interior. Gottrich has likewise worked industriously over the past few months, dedicating himself to the internal reform of the Reich. His skill as an author of protocol shall serve the Reich well in the coming months. These alterations, however, have left the Althing with four vacancies. After discussion among the Reichsregierung, current Althing members, and the Triumvirat, Nerull, Sigrun, and UnLimited have been selected to fill three of the Althing seats. The fourth seat will be assumed by Brian Reimer, former leader of Magna Europa. They shall serve the Reich well. Charter Revision With the coronation of a new Kaiser and new Kronprinz, a new charter is required to guide Nordreich on the new path we have departed upon. This charter is as follows: General Assessments A great amount of effort has gone into all of these changes as well as interal undertakings, and this opportunity should be taken to publicly thank all of those who have aided in the Reich’s development thus far: I am exceedingly excited to unveil them in the near future. With that, and understanding that I have been quite verbose, I will conclude by thanking you for your attention, by congratulating those who have been appointed to new positions, and in saluting our new Kaiser. Our course has had its turbulence, but I have great faith that the drive, ability, and camaraderie of the Nordreich community shall lead us to our place in the sun. Hail Nordreich! Hail Kaiser Nemhauser! Hail Kronprinz Zeppelin! John C. Calhoun Imperial Triumvir

I'm quite glad that our long-standing friendship with the Dark Templar has been formalised in this treaty, with special thanks going out to our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Houston, and our former Reichsgeneral, SF Austin, for their having founded our relationship with Dark Templar. May our friendship endure, and that aforementioned economic thing prove quite lucrative for us both.

Have I mentioned your brilliance today?

I am quite glad to see this announced after the extensive effort committed to it by our government. May its tenants guide us well as our growth continues.

Zog speaks correctly in saying that our friendship with many in Aquisgrana developed from their diligent efforts as members of the German Empire, and I am exceptionally glad to have committed ourselves to furthering these relations. Hails all around, and for Valdemar.

Congratulations, and I look forward to the development of your alliance and theme. Hail!

More new art. o/ Nordreich

Welcome back.

I'm a bit late here. Congratulations to all -- especially Khyber as Grandmaster, and Longbowe as Grand Hospitaller. Paradoxia Vult!

Hey, Wotansvolk. How are things?

Mmmm. The force is strong with this one.
