### Participants

President Laura FoxPresident Xi Jimping

The **coronation of Fox I** took place on November 11, 2019 at the Forbidden City, Beijing. Fox I acceded to the throne at the age of 51 upon the death of President Nathan Jackson on September 25, 2019 and the Assent Bill (2019) which saw her proclaimed Empress by her privy and executive councils shortly afterwards. The coronation was held several weeks later to allow planning committees adequate time to make preparations for the ceremony. During the service, Laura Fox took an oath, was anointed with holy oil, invested with robes and regalia, and crowned Empress of the Libirachi Empire. Following the service, Fox I formed the Fox Dynasty and appointed her loyal friend Xi Jimping as President to fill the gap in the constitution.

## Ceremony

Despite a fairly minimal ceremony, millions of Yen were spent on renovating the Forbidden City as an imperial complex, whilst further millions were spent on updating everything from currency to museums to remove mention of President Jackson from the nation's historical records, whilst placing Fox I in his place. As the first civilian from a middle-class background to ascend to the throne, a great undertaking was made to ensure that Fox was regarded as an "Empress of the People" amongst the populace in what was still a largely socialist nation by the time of ascension. With no expense spared to publicise the event, a vast portrait of Fox was commissioned to hang in the Beijing Institute of the Arts, which was completed in August 2020 and a display was opened by President Xi Jimping the same month. Parades and aerial displays commemorated the occasion, kicking off the reign of Fox I with a bang.

## Coronation Speech

Under the Empire's New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: those who challenge Imperial resolve will be crushed.
The New Order of peace has triumphed over the shadowy secrecy of shameful magicians. The direction of our course is clear. I will lead the Empire to glories beyond imagining.
We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the united citizens of the Libirachi Empire. We will prevail. Ten thousand years of peace begins today.
