Deputy Prime Minister

The **Deputy Prime Minister of Valoria** (French: *vice-premier ministre de la valorie*), often shortened to simply **Deputy**, is a Valorian public official most important for being the prime minister's designated succesor.

As the office itself has very few active responsibilities, it has always been held in conjunction with a ministership.

Since 2021, the office has been held by Ike Somers, who also serves as minister of labor. Following the 2024 Prime Ministerial Election, Kate Oliver is Deputy-elect, and will assume office on February 1st.

## Role and Duties

### Prime Ministerial Succession

The deputy is the prime minster's designated successor in the case of one's death, incapacitation, impeachment, or resignation. In such a scenario, the deputy succeeds the prime minister to the office immediately, becoming prime minister in their own right, and serving out the rest of the term.

### Acting Prime Minister

The deputy can serve as acting prime minister in temporary situations where the prime minister is "unable to fulfill their role," such as when undergoing anesthesia for surgical procedures or a period of unconsciousness. The role can also be invoked by the prime minister ahead of time, in case they know it will be necessary for a short period of time (such as before undergoing surgery). When the role is invoked, the deputy does not become prime minister in their own right, and the powers of the office are restored to the sitting prime minister when they are able to fulfill their role once more.

The vague language of this power leaves room for interpretation for each prime minister and their deputy, however generally this power is rarely exercised, with the deputy instead acting *"in lieu"* for the prime minster if the latter is unable to fulfill their role for a short period of time.

### Ceremonial Duties

The deputy can stand in for the prime minister in ceremonial duties, and serves as their main representative in public affairs. Although the deputy is unable to undertake most ceremonial functions in their own right, such as conducting or hosting state visits, or sending or receiving state gifts, in practice, they are granted permission from the prime minister to conduct such business *in lieu*.

Secretary of Commerce

The **Secretary of Commerce** (French: *secrétaire des affaires étrangères*) is a Valorian public official that heads the Department of Commerce, and in such capacity manages the country's commerce and trade. To this end, the Secretary of Commerce works closely with the secretary of foreign affairs and minister of finance. The Secretary of Commerce is appointed by the president, and is part of the president's cabinet.

Since 2021, the office has been held by Eva Blanc.
President of Valoria

The **President of Valoria** (French: *Président de la Valorie*) is the head of state of Valoria, and Commander of the Armed Forces of Valoria.

Founded in 2014 as a successor to the crown, and considered a spiritual successor to the governorship-general, the presidency is responsible for foreign policy and defense. The office oversees the presidential cabinet, which includes the secretaries of the departments of Foreign Affairs, Defense, Commerce, and National Security. The president also oversees a number of independent agencies, such as the Valorian Space Agency.

The president is of equal official rank to the prime minister.

The president's official residence is the Executive Mansion. Their office is in the East Wing, a term which has since become synonymous with the presidency.

Since February 1st, 2021, the office has been held by Benjamin Radcliffe.

## Election

The president is elected by plurality vote for a three-and-a-half-year term. The next presidential election will take place in July 2024.

## Powers

### Other Powers

The president, alongside the prime minister, has the power to grant pardons.

The president is also empowered to confer certain awards and orders. Since 2018, the president's consent has been required to confer the Order of the Osprey, although the abilities to nominate candidates and formally award the merit remain unique to the prime minister.

## Impeachment & Succession

The president is impeachable by a two-thirds majority of the National Assembly. To date, no motion to impeach the president has ever been drawn against the sitting officeholder.

In case of death, incapacitation, impeachment, or resignation, the president is succeeded by the vice president.
Daniel Tovar

When Frédéric Armand announced his intention to step down as Spox of the PMV in 2024, it was announced Tovar would succeed him.
Presidential Cabinet

*Not to be confused with Prime Ministerial Cabinet*

The **Presidential Cabinet of Valoria** (French: *cabinet du président de la valorie)* is a political entity that consists of the four head executives under the president's authority. These executives are, in alphabetical order, the secretaries of Commerce, Defense, Foreign Affairs, and National Security. It does not include the president themselves, nor the office of vice president (although the vice president has historically always been a part of the cabinet, by virtue of being a secretary as well).

The presidential cabinet is the central advisory body to the president, who has extensive power to shape their own cabinet. All members of the cabinet are appointed directly by the president, serve at the president's pleasure, and be dismissed by the president at any time. There also exists an impeachment process for both individual cabinet members, and the cabinet as a whole.

Executives part of the president's cabinet are recognizable through their title: secretaries are part of the president's cabinet, as opposed to ministers, who are under the purview of the prime minister and part of a separate cabinet.

## Membership

There is no order of precedence among the president's cabinet, although each individual president is entitled to give more weight or importance to certain secretaries. The four current members of the president's cabinet are as follows:

* Eva Blanc, Secretary of Commerce
* Gabriel Dorsett, Secretary of Defense
* Henry Grant, Secretary of Foreign Affairs & Vice President
* Kelly Muller, Secretary of National Security
Structure of the Armed Forces of Valoria

The Armed Forces of Valoria are organized into a codified hierarchy, set in order to help determine precedence of various military bodies, the ranks of their officials, and which bodies they report to and command.

### First Order

The branches are the first and broadest order of classification. They are the only order to have a formal order of precedence, which follows the branches' founding dates: the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Amphibious Corps, and the Auxiliary Forces.

Branches are headed by Chiefs of Staff, whom together form the Assembled Chiefs of Staff, and report to the Commanding General (and sometimes directly to the secretary of defense and president, although this may sometimes be controversial).

### Second Order

Branches are divided into wings, the second order of classification.

Wings are headed by Chief-Generals, typically a three-star-ranked officer. The chief-generals report to their branch's chief of staff.

### Third Order

Wings are further divided into Divisions, the third order of classification.

Divisions are headed by Division Generals. The office is typically associated with a two-star rank, and reports to the wing's chief-general.

## High Leadership

The Valorian military follows the doctrine of civilian control, meaning the armed forces are ultimately led by civilian offices. The authority of Commander of the Armed Forces must thus be vested in a civilian. Currently, the authority is vested in the president, who exercises complete command and operational authority over the entirety of the armed forces. On a day-to-day basis, the president delegates this authority to the secretary of defense.

The highest-ranked officer in the military proper is the Commanding General of the Armed Forces. The office is the only five-star rank in the military, and the officer exercises both command and operational authority over the armed forces. The Commanding General chairs both the Assembled Chiefs of Staff and the Assembled Commands, who exercise operational and command authority over the military, respectively. Since 2017, the office has been held by Phillip Caldwell.

The armed forces are based at AFV-HQ, in Boston. The Secretary of Defense, Commanding General, as well as many three- and four-star generals, are based there.
Halifax Hockey Club

**Halifax Hockey Club**, often simply referred to as **Halifax** or abbreviated to **HHC**, are a Valorian professional ice hockey club who compete in the Valorian Hockey League. They play their home games at Nova Scotia Stadium.

Halifax won their first VHL title in 2019, after defeating the Newfoundland Sailors [3 - 2] in the finals series.

The club is currently managed by Nigel Murray, and captained by right-winger Cody Holland. In 2023, Halifax finished ninth.
States' Admittance

The **States' Admittance of 1787** (French: *l'admission d'états de 1787*) often referred to as the **1787 States' Admittance** or simply **States' Admittance**, was a treaty in which the British colonies of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire joined Valoria, which, until then, was only comprised of the small provinces of Boston and Plymouth.

The States' Admittance was the first of Valoria's two major land expansions (the other being the Treaty of Montreal, 27 years later). It brought along with it a number of changes to Valoria's administrative structure. The province of Boston was slightly expanded, Plymouth was incorporated into Massachusetts, and the district of Maine was made a separate province.
George Barnett

**George Barnett** (born February 5th, 1956) is a Valorian politician who currently serves as delegate from Newfoundland in the National Assembly. Prior to serving as a delegate, he was premier of Newfoundland from 2008 to 2016.

Before being elected to the Newfoundland premiership, Barnett served various positions in the provincial government: he was mayor of St. John's from 1992 to 1997, and delegate to the Newfoundland Provincial Legislature from 1997 to 2008. During his time as premier, he was embroiled in controversy for his aggressively pro-oil policies, encouraging the production of oil in Newfoundland as a means to support the province's ailing economy.

Barnett was first elected to the National Assembly in 2016, and re-elected in 2019 and 2021. He is a member of the Progressive Party.
Assembled Chiefs of Staff

The **Assembled Chiefs of Staff** (French: *les chefs d'état-major assemblés*) is the seniormost board of the Valorian Armed Forces, formed by the chiefs of staff of each of the five branches, as well as the military's chief of logistics and the CGAFV, whom chairs the group. This group comprises the seven seniormost officers in the military, and serves as the principal advisory body to the president and secretary of defense.

As all members of the Assembled Chiefs of Staff are based in Boston's AFV-HQ, the group meets often to discuss and organize Valoria's military operations, and is the principal advisory body to the president and secretary of defense. Holding operational authority over the entire military, the group is considered to slightly outrank the Assembled Commands, as all member officers are based in Boston, and thus closer to the Executive Mansion.

## Membership

The seven members of the Assembled Chiefs of Staff are, by order of precedence of their respective branches:

1. Phillip Caldwell, Commanding General of the Armed Forces & Chairman of the Assembled Chiefs of Staff
2. Édouard Lavoie, Chief of Staff of the Navy
3. Chris Holland, Chief of Staff of the Army
4. Sonny Pantoja, Chief of Staff of the Air Force
5. Jordan Hoskins, Chief of Staff of the Amphibious Corps
6. Julian Serrano, Chief of Staff of the Auxiliary Forces
7. Damon Broome, Chief of Logistics
Outer Valoria

**Outer Valoria** (French: *valorie-de-l'extérieur*) is a geographical term that refers to the provinces of Bas-Canada, Acadia, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. It stands as opposed to Inner Valoria.

The term originates from the 1814 Treaty of Montreal, in which Valoria annexed all British territory East of the St. Lawrence river. The pre-existing Valorian territories (those which had been established in the 1787 States' Admittance, plus the original province of Boston) were referred to as "the Inner lands" throughout the treaty, while the newly-admitted territories were referred to as "the Outer lands." The term "Outer Valoria" was eventually applied to the provinces that were formed out of the new lands.

Although the term is originally purely geographical, it is often co-opted for several other uses, mostly political. Outer Valorian provinces tend to lean towards the Progressive party, making the term useful for political commentary and electoral predictions.

Recently, the term has seen some pushback. as some view it as exclusionary towards parts of Valoria.
Espace Corp.

**Espace Corporation** (shorted to **Espace**, and stylized **Éspace**) is a Valorian multinational coffeehouse chain.

Espace is famous as the primary source of wealth for the Maxwell family, the richest family in Valoria. Theodore Maxwell has served as chairman of Espace Corp. since 2006, while his brother Ryan has been CEO since 2016.

## History

### Alexandre Maxwell and *L'Éspace du Café*

In 1668, a French-English immigrant opened *L'Éspace du Café*, the first coffeehouse in the British colonies. The café became extremely popular,

### Resurgence under Christian Maxwell

In 1952, after a series of mergers and manoeuvres, Christian Maxwell restablished Maxwell family control of Espace. He named himself Chairman and CEO.
Executive Agency

The **Executive Agencies of Valoria** (French: *agences exécutives valoriennes*) are the broadest and uppermost agencies in the Valorian government's structure. They are distinct from independent agencies, which are smaller and have more specific focuses.

The ten executive agencies are as follows: the ministries of Finance, Education, Labor, Health, Justice, and the Interior, and the departments of Commerce, Defense, Foreign Affairs, and National Security. The ministries are under the purview of the prime minister, while the departments are under that of the president. The executive agencies are headed by ministers or secretaries instead of directors, and are generally considered more important and prestigious than independent agencies.
VHL 1987

The **1987 VHL Season** was the tenth running of the Valorian Hockey League and Coupe Balbuzard competitions, held from August 1986 to May 1987.

Nicknamed the "Saison Dorée," the season saw EH Bas-Canada top the league and win the championship, which remains the only time the team have done so in their history. The Acadia Rage won their second Coupe Balbuzard, defeating the Providence Doves 4 - 2 in the finals.

## Playoffs

### Semi-Finals

Semi-Finals One

Semi-Finals Two
 Boston Spirits

## Legacy

The 1987 season is famously nicknamed the "Saison Dorée," in honor of EH Bas-Canada's first championship victory. It was hailed by many pundits as "the first of many," and the leadership of captain Antoine Faucher was especially praised. In subsequent years, however, Bas-Canada slipped lower in the league standings: they fell to sixth the following season, and further down to ninth in 1989 and 1990. The next time they qualified for the playoffs was almost three decades later, in 2016.

Despite the team's immense funding and popularity, 1987 remains Bas-Canada's only title to date.

Arthur Reinhardt

**Arthur Reinhardt** (born September 15th, 1966) is a Valorian politician currently serving as 41st Prime Minister of Valoria, having assumed office on August 1st, 2021.

Reinhardt's tenure in office has comprised the 4th Administration, serving alongside President Benjamin Radcliffe.

During his premiership, Reinhardt has managed the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the distribution of vaccines across the country. In early 2023, Reinhardt announced his intention to seek re-election to the premiership.
Armed Forces of Valoria, Headquarters

**Armed Forces of Valoria, Headquarters** (French: *forces armées de la valorie, siège*), often shortened to simply **the Headquarters** or abbreviated **AFV-HQ**, is the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Valoria, located in Boston.

Down the street from the Executive Mansion, the Headquarters serves as the official seat of the Secretary of Defense, the Commanding General of the Armed Forces, the officers of the Assembled Chiefs of Staff, and a number of other high-ranking military and civilian armed forces leadership.
Committee of First Delegates

The **Committee** **of First Delegates** (French: *conseil des premiers délégués*) is an eleven-member committee in Valoria's legislature, the National Assembly. It is comprised of the first delegates from each of the provinces of Valoria.

## Structure

Since the Assembly's party Spoxes are usually first delegates, the committee is usually chaired by whichever Spox holds a majority of committee seats. Since 2019, the Committee of First Delegates has been chaired by Massachusetts delegate Britt Sheppard.

While the incumbent Chairman of the Assembly has also chaired the committee on multiple occasions, the committee has been chaired by the Spox of the opposing party for most of its existence. This comes as a result of the committee's Conservative lean, as six provinces tend to send Conservative first delegates (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont), as opposed to the five provinces that tend to send Progressives (Bas-Canada, Boston, Nova Scotia, Acadia, Newfoundland). While these roughly equal out in the Assembly itself, whose proportional representation is based on population, the solely province-based Committee of First Delegates typically has a Conservative majority.

Currently, the members of the Committee (in order of province representation size) are as follows:
Conundrum Device

**Conundrum Device** is one of the 5 abilities that are gained through story progression in *The Last Case of Benedict Fox*. It is also one of the two puzzles in the game.

## Description

Used to solve symbol/numerical puzzles throughout the map.

## Puzzle

In this puzzle, there are four symbols arranged in a backwards Z shape. Each symbol represents a four-digit number. If your answer has fewer than four digits, add zeros in the unused places. The dials can be set to ten different settings, and the upward straight line symbol represents zero. Most puzzles involving this device require repeating a symbol, completing a pattern, or finding a numerical answer.

When you first acquire the device, the thousands and hundreds dials are broken and stuck on the 18XX setting. This limits the number of puzzles you can solve at that stage.

In James' Limbo, located to the left of the Library, there is a puzzle that tests your understanding of number encoding. The answers are 1832, 1888, and 1800.

In James' Limbo, above the Swamp Platform, you need to complete a pattern using ten symbols, seven of which are already provided.

In James' Limbo, to the right of the Golem Biom Anchor, there is a puzzle with streaks of written-out numbers containing numeral codes. There is a trick to solving this one.

In Marie's Limbo, located to the left of the Father's Garden Entrance, there is a line of four digits that need to be combined into a single symbol.

In Marie's Limbo, to the right of the Father Garden Anchor, there are three lines of symbols to input, but they may not be in order.

In Marie's Limbo, in the Chapel, each number is thirty-five more than the previous one, with the ninth place left empty. Therefore, the answer can be determined.

In the Manor, at the Garden Chest, you need to find the number that, when subtracted by 89, equals 1810.

In the Manor, at the Statue, you need to find the number that, when added by 111, equals 2469.

These are the main steps and challenges involved in the puzzle-solving process throughout the game.

Prime Minister of Valoria

The **Prime Minister of Valoria** (French: *Premier Ministre de la Valorie*), sometimes referred to as the **Timekeeper**, is the head of government of Valoria.

Originally created in 1762, the premiership under its current form dates back to the founding of the Second Republic in 2014. The prime minister oversees their cabinet, which includes the heads of the ministries of Finance, Education, Labor, Health, Justice, and the Interior, as well as a number of independent government agencies, such as the VEA.

The prime minister is of equal official rank to the president, with whom they share the Executive Mansion, their official residence. The prime minister's office is located in the West Wing.

Since August 1st, 2021, the office has been held by Arthur Reinhardt. Following the 2024 Prime Ministerial Election, Valerie Minerva is prime minister-elect, and will assume office on February 1st.

## Impeachment & Succession

The prime minister is impeachable by a two-thirds majority of the National Assembly. Although motions of impeachment have been drafted against the majority of officeholders, no prime minister has ever been impeached.

Historically, three prime ministers have vacated office intra-term, although each via different method: Keith Hill (in office 1789 - 1790), who died from tuberculosis ten months into his term; Phillip Matthews (in office 1906 - 1910), who resigned a little over a year into his second term due to fractures in his party; and Charles Reynolds (in office 2010 - 2012), who was assassinated two years into his term.

In case of death, incapacitation, impeachment, or resignation, the prime minister is succeeded by the deputy prime minister. Historically, before the position was created, the National Assembly was tasked with nominating a successor.

## List of Prime Ministers

41 individuals have served as prime minister since Valoria's founding. Anthony Vanwall, who served in a similar capacity before the office was established, from 1756 to 1762, was retroactively offered the title, however declined it. 4 have served non-consecutive terms.

There are currently 5 living former officeholders: Ryan Collins, Steven Lawrence, Eric Henderson, Anthony Collins, and Julia Anne-Claire.

Prime Ministerial Cabinet

*Not to be confused with Presidential Cabinet*

The **Prime Ministerial Cabinet** (French: *cabinet du premier ministre de la valorie*) is a political entity that consists of the six head executives under the prime minister's authority. These executives are, in alphabetical order, the ministers of Education, Finance, Health, Justice, Labor, and the Interior. The cabinet does not include the prime minister or deputy prime minister, although the latter has historically always been part of the cabinet, by virtue of holding a ministerial office in conjunction with the deputy premiership.

All members of the prime minister's cabinet are appointed directly by the prime minister and can be dismissed by them at any moment. There also exists an impeachment process for both individual cabinet members, and the cabinet as a whole.

The cabinet serves as the prime minister's central advisory body. Executives part of the prime ministerial cabinet are recognizable through their title of minister—their other executive counterparts, secretaries, serve under the president.

## Membership

There is no order of precedence among the cabinet of the prime minister, although each individual prime minister is entitled to give more weight or importance to certain ministers. The six current members of the prime minister's cabinet are as follows:

* Barbara Martell, Minister of Education
* Evelyn McDougal, Minister of Finance
* Rob Gallegos, Minister of Health
* Mélanie Blanchar, Minister of Justice
* Ike Somers, Minister of Labor & Deputy Prime Minister
* Eric Crutchfeld, Minister of the Interior
Musifex Maximus

The **Musifex Maximus** is the title given to the official resident cat of the Executive Mansion of Valoria. The officeholder is appointed by the prime minister, although the office formally reports to the Flamen Canialis.

The office is currently held jointly by Rihjaya (assumed office on March 26th, 2015) and Leah (assumed office on October 13th, 2020).

## History

The office of the Musifex Maximus was created alongside that of the Flamen Canialis in 1871 by Prime Minister Paul Marshalls. Marshalls owned a pet dog, and had recently adopted a cat donated to him by a supporter as congratulations for winning the 1870 election. He allowed both pets to roam free in the Executive Mansion, eventually coming to find the pair were very effective at pest control. Because of this, he decided to give them each official titles. A former historian, and personally fascinated by ancient Rome, he named his pet's offices after those of the Pontifex Maximus and the Flamens, some of Rome's highest-ranking religious leaders.

"Musifex" does not mean anything in Latin, however "mus" translates to "mouse." In the same vein, "Canialis" is not a Latin word, however "canis" means "dog." Marshalls tasked them with pest control, and made them part of his cabinet, inviting them to cabinet meetings (although they were granted formal authorization not to attend meetings if important business required their attention, such as "regular pest control duties, consumption of sustenance in order to carry out such duties, or appropriate repose, which may be determined at the discretion of the Flamen Canialis and Musifex Maximus."

After vacating office in 1876, Marshalls expected the offices to be dissolved or left unattended. Pierre Bourdais, who assumed the office of governor-general in 1876, found the titles amusing, and decided to keep them in use. Instead of asking the outgoing prime minister to leave his pets behind in the Executive Mansion, he adopted a new cat and dog, naming them Paul and Marshalls respectively, and announced them as the new officeholders.

The office remained in continuous occupation until

## MM Charley

In June 2012, a stray cat was found at PM Charles Reynolds' private funeral. His family adopted the cat, and donated it to the Executive Mansion. PM Anthony Collins named him Charley, in honor of late prime minister. He was appointed Musifex Maximus on June 19th, 2012, in honor of Reynolds' birthday.
Minister of the Interior

The **Minister of the Interior** (French: *ministre de l'interieur*) is a Valorian public official heading the Ministry of the Interior, and responsible for the nation's internal land management, national parks, and other various government functions. The officeholder is part of the prime minister's cabinet, and reports directly to the prime minister.

Since 2021, the office has been held by Eric Crutchfeld.
SLAM Doctrine

In the Valorian armed forces, **SLAM doctrine** is an acronym meaning "Sea, Land, Air, Mud," referring to the duties of each of Valoria's military branches in their order of precedence (Navy, Army, Air Force, Amphibious Corps).

Although several origin stories exist for the phrase, the most common asserts it was originally a joke told amongst members of the Amphibious Corps, who claimed they were given all the jobs the Navy and Army considered impossible, and were thus "dealt mud" (a combination of the navy's sea and the army's land). The date of its first use is debated, however it was formally recognized by the military in 1971 by CGAFV Henry Green, who confirmed he would determine new military units branch placement through SLAM doctrine.

The acronym "SLAM" has been modified for several phrases. "MALS" is sometimes used to mock the military's order of precedence, as the official order of precedence is the reverse of a commonly-used prestige ranking of the branches. As the Auxiliary Forces have grown in importance, the acronym has sometimes been modified to "X-SLAM," in reference to the Auxiliary Force's more common nickname of "X-Force."

Transitionary Period

In reference to Valorian history, the **Transitionary Period** refers to a general, roughly one year, 4 month period of time between the dissolution of the constitutional monarchy and the implementation of the Second Republic. The most commonly-cited start and end dates are September 26th, 2012, the day the Valorian monarchy was officially dissolved by vote of the National Assembly, and January 31st, 2014, the final day before Lawrence Jackson took office as president and the Second Republic formally began.

During the Transitionary Period, Valoria had no formal head of state, leaving the office of the prime minister, headed by the Assembly-appointed Anthony Collins, empowered to carry out the regular functions of the government. Democratic elections were temporarily suspended, until the ratification of a new constitution took place. The 2013 Constitution was accepted by the Assembly on September 26th, 2013, exactly one year after the dissolution of the monarchy, and new elections were scheduled for January 1st, 2014.
Chess

**Chess** is one of the two puzzles in *The Last Case of Benedict Fox* alongside the Conundrum Device. In chess, moves are recorded using algebraic notation. The chessboard consists of 8 rows and 8 columns. The columns are labeled from left to right as A to H on the white side, and the rows are numbered from 1 to 8, starting from the bottom. The bottom left corner is referred to as A1, and the top right corner is H8.

## Puzzle 1

In Puzzle 1, there is a Conundrum Symbols Note that contains numbers. At the bottom of this note, there is an alphabet encoded with similar symbols, although it is not often mentioned.

## Puzzle 2

Puzzle 2 involves a piano with keys labeled H1-H8, E1-E5, and F1-F5. The piano plays notes in a loop, and these notes represent a series of moves in algebraic notation. The colors of the keys correspond to the colors of the chess pieces. The first notes represent your move, followed by two notes for the opponent's moves, and ending with two notes for your final moves. In this puzzle, you need to move the white rook from H1 to H8, and then move the bishop from E2 to H5.

## Puzzle 3

Puzzle 3 does not involve algebraic notation. It is a puzzle where you need to move the pieces on the chessboard to match the given pictures. In this puzzle, you need to move the white rook from E3 to G3, and then move the rook from G3 to G6.

The team topped the league and won the championship in the 1987 "Saison Dorée," while they received the wooden spoon for finishing last in the standings in 2010. In 2023, their most recent campaign, Bas-Canada finished fifth.

The club is currently managed by Antoine Faucher, and captained by Olivier Favreau.

National Assembly

The **National Assembly of Valoria** (French: *Assemblée nationale valorienne*), typically referred to as the **National Assembly** or simply **Assembly**, is the unicameral national legislature of Valoria. It is composed of a fixed 100 delegates, presided over by the Chairman of the Assembly.

Elections to the National Assembly are held in conjunction with those for the prime minister, although the prime minister holds no direct connection to the Assembly. Delegates thus serve out two-and-a-half year terms, and all 100 seats are up for election simultaneously. The next scheduled elections will take place on New Years' Day 2024.

The Assembly is currently controlled by the Progressive party, who hold a 53 - 47 seat majority. Frédéric Armand has served as Chairman since 2010.

## History

Initial construction of the Assembly Building, in which the National Assembly is housed, began in 1756, when Valoria first declared its independence from the British. While the building would not be complete for another seventeen years, the Assembly would formally begin on September 26th, 1762

## Composition

The National Assembly is comprised of a fixed 100 delegates, with seats being allotted to provinces based on the percentage of the total population that they comprise. The Assembly's seat composition changes are legally required to go into effect at most one year after the latest census. The latest composition change took effect in 2020, following the 2019 census.

Because percentages have decimals, but only whole seats can be allotted, some provinces' percentages must be rounded up, and others rounded down. This issue has been coined the "Decimal Problem." To determine which provinces will receive which seats, a commission of the first delegates from each province is appointed and chaired by the prime minister after each census, tasked with presenting an official Assembly seat distribution for the prime minister to approve. Apart from the eleven first delegates, the Assembly has no role in determining the allocation of its seats. This was done to prevent a bloc of larger provinces giving themselves a disproportionately large measure of seats at the expense of smaller provinces.

The current seat allocation of the National Assembly is as follows:

Currently the National Assembly is controlled by the Progressive Party, who hold 53 seats against the Conservative Party's 47.
