Fizzydog Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 The Parliament has noted that Harold Cheve and his administration, along with many other politicians, have been reffering to the head of state as "President" rather than "Prime Minister". In an attempt to curb embarresment, the official title has been changed with approval from 99.9987% of all citizens who voted in Town houses.

Fizzydog Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 This Week In Parliament: Harold Cheve announced today that his administration would "No longer be withholding recognition of Horde acquired territories." This sudden change of foreign policy drew rough criticism from political enemies, with Oswald Craiggs calling Cheve a, "Weak communist sympathizer, bending easily under pressure." Polls taken showed a steep drop of support for the current president, and with elections upcoming perhaps this decision was short sighted.

Fizzydog Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 This Week In Parliament: Parliament voted against recognizing The Free Kingdom of Edean, and all and any citizens from that nation will be denied access into the EA-U. Several groups have protested this movement, but the majority of South East Americans, socially conservative as they are, find this uncommon country "inhuman." Thus, with the consent of the masses, the government's policy has proven most popular. Oswald Craiggs was, surprisingly at that, the leader of the movement to allow this country of foreign creatures to be thought of equally as humans. While the support is minimal, many critics of the government's decision have noted that the liberal choice of view is snowballing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several groups have protested this movement, but the majority of South East Americans, socially conservative as they are, find this uncommon country "inhuman."

While the support is minimal, many critics of the government's decision have noted that the liberal choice of view is snowballing. [/quote] After the recent broadcast on the regional television, the Triumvirate, represented by Vesari Triumvir Vivian Androcles, made the following reply to the nation of the EA-U: "The Triumvirate of the Free Kingdom of Edean applauds this decision by the Parliament of the EA-U as it appears to be representative of the will of the people there and hence in line with our mutual values of democratic freedom. While all of us hope that you will one day recognize that we are indeed people as your fair citizen Mr. Craiggs has pointed out - this is a realization that the people themselves must make. While we are not human, we are people and of equal value in that person-hood to other natural persons, or human beings. We would also like to note that we will not be using this declaration as a rightful means of punishing individuals from the EA-U should they decide to come to the Free Kingdom of Edean for business or pleasure. Do be warned however, that Vesari and Oniru do live here and that our own freedom may be perceived as offensive to your culture, but we'd hope you'd enjoy those aspects when you come here rather then fear them. Unless bitten, we don't bite and we've noticed that the same can be said of most humans as well. Thank you for your time and may our people's of all species coexist together and benefit from one another in a state of peace and on the day you can finally see the truth of who we are, mutual prosperity. In the meantime, we'll just keep on waiting for the world to change, we have a home and we will explore the corners of the Earth in which we are welcome."
