Edward acame king when his faither died in early 1936. He showed impatience wi coort protocol, an politeecians wur concerned bi his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions. Anly months intae his reign, he caused a constitutional crisis bi proposin marriage tae the American socialite Wallis Simpson, who haed divorced her first husband an wis seekin a divorce frae her seicont. The prime meenisters o the Unitit Kinrick an the Dominions opposed the marriage, arguin that the fowk wad never accept a divorced woman wi twa livin ex-husbands as queen. Addeetionally, sic a marriage wad hae conflicted wi Edward's status as heid o the Kirk o Ingland, which opposed the remarriage o divorced fowk if thair umwhile spooses wur still alive. Edward knew that the govrenment led bi Breetish Prime Meenister Stanley Baldwin wad resign if the marriage went ahead, which coud hae dragged the king intae a general election an wad ruin his status as a poleetically neutral constitutional monarch. Choosin nae tae end his relationship wi Simpson, Edward abdicatit. He wis succeedit bi his younger brither Albert, who chose the regnal name George VI. Wi a reign o 326 days, Edward wis ane o the shortest-reignin monarchs in Breetish an Commonweel history. He wis never crowned.

Efter the war, he wis never gien anither offeecial appointment an spent the remainder o his life in retirement in Fraunce.

Ceeties o Japan

A  is a local administrative unit in Japan. Ceeties is ranked on the same level as  and , wi the differ that they arnae a component o . Like their contemporary administrative units, thaey are defined by the Local Autonomy Law of 1947.

## Ceety status
Airticle 8 o the Local Autonomy Law sets the follaein conditions for a municipality tae be designate as a ceety:

*Population maun generally be 50,000 or greater (原則として人口5万人以上)
*At least 60% o hoosehaulds maun be established in a central urban aurie (中心市街地の戸数が全戸数の6割以上)
*At least 60% o hoosehaulds maun be employed in commerce, industry or ither urban occupations (商工業等の都市的業態に従事する世帯人口が全人口の6割以上)
*Ony ither condìtions set bi prefectural ordinance must be satisfied (他に当該都道府県の条例で定める要件を満たしていること)

The designation is approved bi the prefectural govrenor an the Meenister for Internal Affairs.

A ceety can theoretically be demote tae a toun or veelage whan it fails tae meet ony o thir condìtions, but a siclik demotion hesnae happened tae date. The least populous ceety, Utashinai, Hokkaido, haes a population o sax thoosand, while a toun in the same prefectur, Otofuke, Hokkaido, haes nearly forty thoosand.

Unner the , the staundart o 50,000 indwallers for the ceety status haes been eased tae 30,000 if a siclik population is gained as a result o a merger o touns an/or veelages, fur tae facilitate siclik mergers tae reduce admeenistrative costs. Mony municipalities gained ceety status unner this eased staundart. On the ither haund, the municipalities recently gained the ceety status purely as a eftercast o increase o population wioot expansion o aurie is leemitit tae thaim at is leetit in Leet o umwhile touns or veelages gained ceety status alone.

### Classifications for lairge ceeties
The Cabinet o Japan can designate ceeties o at least 200,000 indwallers tae hae the status o special ceety, core ceety, or designatit ceety. Thir statuses expand the scope o admeenistrative authority delegatit frae the prefectural govrenment tae the ceety govrenment.

### Status o Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan’s caipital, existit as a ceety til 1943, but is nou legally classified as a special type o prefectur cried a . The 23 special wairds o Tokyo, whilk constitute the core o the Tokyo metropolitan aurie, each hae an admeenistrative status analogous tae that o ceeties. Tokyo an aa haes several ither incorporatit ceeties, touns an veelages within its jurisdiction.

Korba, Tunisie

**Korba**, auncient **Curubis**, is a toun in Tunisie on the eastren shore o the Cap Bon. It wis the place o exile o the Carthaginian bishop Cyprian in the year leadin up tae his martyrdom.  Modren Korba is in the Nabeul Govrenorate an haed a population o 34,807 in 2004.

## History
Auncient geografers an itineraries mention the toun Curubis on the African coast atween Clupea (modren Kelibia) an Neapolis (modren Nabeul).

The earliest historical record is an inscription frae the time o the Roman ceevil war, which records that the Pompeian generals P. Attius Varus an C. Considius Longus fortified the toun in 46 BC. In the years efter the ceevil war the toun wis made a Roman colony, *colonia Iulia Curubis* (Pliny the Elder refers tae it as *libera*, "free"), aiblins as pairt o  Julius Caesar's attempt tae rid his airmy o aulder soldiers an at the same time hauld Africae against Pompeian forces.  In the year AD 257, the Carthaginian bishop Cyprian wis exiled thare; his biografer Pontius, who accompanied him intae exile, praises the place (12): "provisum esse divinitus … apricum et conpetentem locum, hospitium pro voluntate secretum et quidquid apponi eis ante promissum est, qui regnum et iustitiam dei quaerunt." ("bi god's favour a sunny an appropriate place wis providit, a refuge secludit as he wished, an whatever wis previously promised tae be set afore those who seek the kinrick an justice o god").

Bi the year 411, Curubis, lik mony African touns, haed its ain bishop (mentioned in the proceedings o the Cooncil o Carthage o that year). A bishop o Curubis is mentioned again in the *Notitia provinciarum et civitatium Africae* in the year 484, amang the bishops exiled tae Corsica for refusin tae swear allegiance tae the Vandal king Hilderic, an again in the proceedins o the Cooncil o Carthage o the year 525.

The toun haed its awn theatre. An inscription o the late 2nt  century honours the ceetizen who haed creatit it. Remains o an aqueduct survivit tae modren times; an the contreibution tae a mosaic in Ostia bi shipawners o Curubis suggest that the toun an aa possessed a port, which haes nae survivit.

A recent accoont o the life in Korba mey be fpond in Mounira Khemir's narrative "Un coin du carré bleu"
