### Reign

The start of King Georgie V's reign started as he inherited a nation facing an uncertain war with the United States Of Jesstopia over disputed land and with mounting pressure from citizens to have the monarchy overthrown. He also faced administrative turmoil as his Council of Advisors collapsed when he ascended the throne. Many of the former members had served under King Marcus II, but didn't support the new King's policies and promise to Jesstopia, to return previously gifted land.

#### The Collapse Of The Counsel Of Advisors

On February 24, 2023, as King Marcus II laid on his deathbed, then-Prince Georgie V was preparing to take on the role as Polton's Monarch, and he understood what he wanted to get done. However, he wasn't prepared for the collapse of his father's Counsel Of Advisors, the people responsible for ensuring that the King was guided in his efforts to better the nation. On February 25, 2023, many members of Marcus II's counsel said they would not support King Georgie V's plans to return Poltian-owned land to the United States Of Jesstopia(land that borders existing Jesstopian borders, but was gifted to Jesstopia in 1823.

Many of the Counsel members left the King's side, leaving him to rebuild the Counsel Of Advisors, from an almost complete loss. In his efforts he appointed several advisors, but his efforts were in vein. The Counsel collapsed and he was forced to change course and establish an new advisory Counsel, signed into law by himself on March 3, 2023. This declaration was issued to the Poltian Public at around 2:30 AM. Many of the King's friends were appointed to the Advisory Board and issued the following statement on behalf of the King. It read as follows:

> His Royal Highness, King Georgie V has hereby ordained this Declaration titled 'The Establishment Of The Advisory Board To The King' and issues that such Advisory Board will hereby replace the previously collapsed and previously reckless Counsel Of Advisors which collapsed on February 25, 2023, the day HRH took over the Polton Throne. Now, Therefore, it should be witnessed, that the King has made it evident in law, that such Board is now established and shall hereon be observed as a Governing body which operates under the hand and seal of King Georgie V of Polton.
>
>

The Advisory Board was officially signed into law and the Advisory Board handles a majority of the duties that the previous Counsel Of Advisors conducted, with added duties including Foreign And Domestic Affairs, Education, Legislation And Economic affairs. The Counsel Of Advisors was officially abolished the moment King Georgie V signed his name.

#### Jesstopia-Polton Land Dispute

King Georgie V inherited the throne at a time where tensions between it and the United States Of Jesstopia are high, and all of these tensions are caused by a dispute in who owns the land that borders the Atlantic Ocean and the United States Of Jesstopia. Most of the dispute comes as Polton claimed that the land owned by the Jesstopian nation, which was gifted by Polton to Jesstopian in 1823, was rightfully it's to take. This occurred under King Marcus II, who refused to return it to or recognize it as land of Jesstopia. In a memo, King Georgie V had this to say about the dispute. It reads as follows:

> The ongoing dispute between our Great Kingdom and the United States Of Jesstopia has been ongoing since September of 2022. This dispute started after my Father, then-King Marcus II reclaimed land that was previously owned by the latter, and Diplomats from the United States Of Jesstopia issued that such land would defend itself against our Kingdom's forces. While I agree in part with the United States Of Jesstopia, I must ensure that we formally meet with the Jesstopian President as well as Cambridge's Prime Minister.

King Georgie V also issued this memo, outlining his concerns for war when he served as Prince Of Duke back in December. It reads as follows:

> My father is being reckless, and by denying the United States Of Jesstopia its rightfully owned land, he is threatening the lives of millions and the livelihoods that our Kingdom's citizens have worked so hard to build for themselves. It is our duty and our obligation to provide in whole, a solution that eases the tensions on both sides. I believe that my father should relinquish the land, and agree to a meeting with Jesstopian President John McCallum and Cambridge Prime Minister Fredrick Ricketts, so that such dispute can be discussed in a formal and diplomatic way.

The then-Prince Georgie also sent this letter to his father, begging him to consider meeting with the President and Cambridge Prime Minister to ensure that a war is avoided. The letter reads as follows:

> Dear Father,
>
>
> It is with grave concern that I appeal to you, and request that you consider speaking to President McCallum and Prime Minister Ricketts, as they are actively seeking to reclaim land by force, if we do nothing. As your son, and as the heir apparent, our family will not survive if a war isn't avoided and we don't meet the force with peaceful talks. Time and time again, we've refused to listen to the Nation. I think it is time that I personally request that you meet with President McCallum and Prime Minister Ricketts. It will be in a formal setting. I also know you have considered establishing diplomatic relations with major Democratic nations to provide trade and ensure our nation can flourish. This a ask, you take the time to reconsider our right of ownership to the land. If such a war is to be declared, our military forces are already stretched thin as is and I don't think we can afford to fight the large military of Jesstopia. Please. I beg you to reconsider.

A meeting between President McCallum and Prime Minister Ricketts has been officially scheduled for March 5, 2023, and the two nations will arrive in Polton starting on the evening of March 4, 2023, and the meeting between King Georgie V, President John McCallum and Prime Minister Fredrick Ricketts will take place at noon and will likely conclude around 5 PM on the evening of March 5, 2023. A second meeting will be scheduled at the request of King Georgie V.

#### Energy Policy

King Georgie V, is a very large fan on green energies, much like his father was. During a speech, King Georgie V announced that Polton was looking to make Polton Greener and provide more farming equipment to farmers that make the process greener and better for the environment. King Georgie V has also addressed Green House Gas Emission Records that show dangerous levels of Carbon Dioxide is being released into the air. This concerns the King greatly and he issues directives at limiting these emissions.

#### Foreign Relations

##### North Korea

The Kingdom Of Polton has a strong relationship with North Korea. It provides about 24% of Polton's military weaponry. It established strong relations with North Korea back in 1959, at the end of King Marcus's first year as monarch. King Georgie V, upon ascending the throne, issued that the Kingdom would continue to work with North Korea in a limited capacity. It was heavily implied that Georgie was seeking to sever ties with the country. North Korean officials say that his decision would "result in almost certain destruction of the Kingdom."

##### China

Most of the imports, including; clothing, shoes, uniforms, crops, technologies, toys and other food products come from China. As such, the Kingdom of Polton relies heavily on its Chinese ally to provide these necessary products and items. China also contributes to more than 48% of the nation's total Gross Domestic Product(GDP). In early February, then-Prince Georgie visited China to meet with Production facilities, and it signed a 10 year agreement that would see China continue to provide Polton with the aforementioned items. Upon ascending the throne, Georgie V announced that he was hoping to break off from China and start providing its own Gross Domestic Product, which would see a huge leap in economic growth.

##### United States Of America

The Kingdom was once a great friend of the United States Of America. It traded most of its precious metals with America. In 1962, King Marcus II issued that the Kingdom would break its relations with America in national interest and homeland security. It accused America of sucking dry, the Poltian Metals market and break off its metal trade agreement with the nation. Georgie wishes to re-establish relations with America.

##### United Kingdom And Canada

The Kingdom Of Polton, once had an exceptional relationship with the UK and Canada. It provided more than 68% of Polton's oils, gases and fuels. Their relation became strained in early 1956, when both nations issued that import fees would increase per gallon. This new tariff would cripple Polton and it began searching for alternate methods of obtaining oil, natural gas and diesel. Georgie V hopes to re-establish its trade agreement with Canada and the United Kingdom.

## Prince Of Duke(2000-2023)

Georgie served as the Prince of Duke from 2000 until 2023. During his time as the Prince Of Duke, he worked to ease the anger and tension the Poltian People had against his father King Marcus II. His main role was to represent Duke and ensure that its people were taken care of .

## Heir Apparent To The Throne Of Polton

The Heir Apparent to the throne of the Kingdom Of Polton is Georgie V's son Matthew, now Prince of Duke. Prince Matthew was made Heir Apparent on February 25, 2023, following his fathers ascension to the throne following the death of King Marcus II.
