Coronation of Fox II

The **coronation of Fox II** took place on November 11, 2024 at the Forbidden City, Beijing. Fox II acceded to the throne at the age of 31 upon the assassination of her mother, Empress Fox I on May 27, 2022, though refused to be crowned as emperor until the conclusion of the Libirachi Civil War in a political gamble aimed at maximising support for her regime. Taking place exactly 5 years after her mother's enthronement, the coronation of regent Penny Fox as Empress was a significant state affair which marked the *de-facto* end of the Libirachi Civil War as the victorious Fox Dynasty asserted it's control over the Libirachi state.

During the service, Penny Fox took an oath of office, was anointed with holy oil by various faith leaders, was invested with robes and regalia, and crowned empress of the Fox Dynasty. As part of the ceremony, Fox delivered a speech in which she rallied citizens of the Fox Dynasty to support the new regime and pledged presidential elections for the following year. Alongside her coronation, Empress Penny Fox formally dissolved the Council of the Regency and in it's place established the Imperial Privy Council, with Duchess Keely Morse as it's inaugural leader. Following the event, elaborate celebrations occurred across the state, with military parades and concerts being held. On November 12, 2024, the Libirachi National Congress gathered to pledge allegiance to the new empress.

Following the Assassination of Laura Fox on May 27, 2022, the Libirachi Empire had been left without an Emperor, with aShadow Council forming on the date of the empress' death selecting COMPNOR Director General and daughter of the empress Penny Fox to act as a regent for as long as she saw fit, with Fox ultimately opting to wait until the conclusion of the Libirachi Civil War to crown herself as her mother's successor. Fighting off the Confederacy in the ensuring war, the multiple failings of the Libirachi Imperial Army being pinned upon President Xi Jimping who was deposed and forced out of office on February 2nd 2023 to be replaced by the Minister of War, Damien Salamander, who promptly set about restructuring the decaying imperial bureaucracy on the behest of the regent Fox, as part of a precursor to the later implementation of the New-Think in the next decade. During the reign of her mother at the start of the Fox Dynasty, Penny Fox was careful to hide away from public view and put on a charade, presenting herself as a loyal public servant and an effective manager of workers. However, Fox was, in fact, a skilled manipulator and strategist, having orchestrated countless events in both the Libirachi Empire and Asia, from the creation of the Hǔnluàn to the Has Wars, with the sole aim of increasing her own power. Even when something occurred that she did not initially plan for, Penny demonstrated that she was as adept at improvisation as she was at plotting her own power rise. After her ascension to Empress in 2024, she continued to manufacture a perception of being benevolent and gracious to the public, a façade helped in part by her gamble in 2022 to refuse to take the throne until she'd won the trust of the public by defeating Almac Docu and his Confederacy of Independent Nations. During the war, her title of Regent led to much distain from the Libirachi political elite who were largely resentful of the way that her mother, Laura Fox, had seized power three years prior to the start of the war, but through a series of manipulation and propaganda campaigns, Fox controlled the upper tiers of the government through blackmail gathered during her tenure as Director General of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). Penny Fox's most defining trait was her deeply manipulative nature, seducing many parties with promises of power, prize, even salvation to further her agenda. She successfully manipulated the leaders of the Hǔnluàn and Bovido Has under the pretence of a better future, coerced numerous members of the Libirachi National Congress to join her cause and managed to gain huge levels of support from the general populace throughout the country and much of the western world too, leading to a resurgence of Libirachi foreign influence, with much of the dedication to the regime coming from personal loyalty to Fox. Known for her striking looks, Fox encountered numerous occasions at which smitten citizens attempted to try and contact their empress, and in some parts of empire, pornographic depictions of the empress were readily available to those who knew where to look, something which was never strongly denounced by the government, and civilian drawn murals of Fox were just as common as the many propaganda posters which lined the streets of every major city in the Libirachi Empire.
