#### Inflation!

The economy as of late has taken a major hit as capital spending rises during a time of international trade dispute under allegations of rebellion against the Kingdom by the Sylvvean community. Several false claims have been held against the decade-old nation for suggestions of immoral labour conditions and unsactioned pay cuts applied specifically to the few Sylvvean immigrants that stayed in the Kingdom, none of which have been able to update their status for a considerable amount of time.

To alleviate growing concerns, Erin have been printed at an alarming rate, capping at just over 25,000,000 in the National Reserve alone. Expectations of price volatility are stirring investors by the day.

#### Sylvvean pillagers invade Game City.

Thousands of pillagers from the jungle region of Sylvves have raided the capital city, killing and destroying anything in their way. Due to the absence of a permanent army, the King announced mandatory conscription in order to assist the police in fighting back. A battle of resistance took place across the entire city, with tanks roaming the streets, public buildings being used as barracks, trenches being dug in the grass and a portable makeshift medical bay being used to assist the conscripted soldiers. After days, at last, the invasion was repelled. Sylvves has long been claimed by Game City as a county, but only on paper, and it has never been properly occupied in practice. In a clear act of hostility, the Sylvveans led a violent but unsuccesful wave against the Kingdom. The Government is now planning a full-scale conquest of Sylvves in retaliation.

#### Ebo inaugurated as President in solemn ceremony.

After more than a month, with the ceremony being delayed multiple times, President-elect Ebo has finally taken the oath of office today in the courtyard of Government House, as his predecessors have. Before the authorities, Ebo was asked to swear in the name of Notch to respect the will of the people, to fulfill his new role responsibly and to pledge loyalty to His Majesty the King. Once Ebo said "I do", the King knighted Ebo with a sword and proclaimed him President of the Government of Game City. The public then cried "Notch save the President!". Afterwards, a party was held at President Ebo's house to which all of the nobles were invited. A great day indeed.

#### Ebo wins the election.

The results have finally been announced this evening. With 25% of the popular vote, Ebo of the For a Better World party will be the next President of the Government of Game City. He was followed by the Free Crafters Party, the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the Communist Party. Due to the greens and whites tying, the leader of For a Better World was approved by a confidence vote from the rest of the candidates. The greens and the whites have come to an agreement and will form a coalition to govern the Kingdom. This leaves Xep of the Conservative Party as Leader of the Opposition. Ebo is expected to be sworn in as Game City's fourth head of government at an official ceremony at Government House soon.

#### Elections begin!

The voting period has started. Game City's citizens will have until the 31st of this month to vote for one of five political parties to run the country. May the best win!

#### Labour Party's new candidates revealed.

The oldest party in Game City seems to have overcome its inner crisis and has revealed its two new candidates for the upcoming snap election, replacing Handduken and ToastIsBestFrozen. The candidate for President is EnderShrimp7468, a popular long-time player within the server, and his running mate is oram. Whether they will be successful is uncertain, as Labour have dropped in popularity during their inactivity crisis and it is now led by two fresh faces in politics, but this news will most certainly make the upcoming election even more eagerly-awaited and entertaining.

### **(22/01/23)**

#### Handduken announces he will not participate in the elections.

After reestablishing contact with the rest of the Government Monarchy, President Handduken has confirmed that he will not seek re-election in the 2023 snap election, and is expected to stand down as leader of the Labour Party. It's not clear if Handduken will remain as President (in name only, due to the King's temporary executive control) until the end of the elections in order to safeguard the position or if he will voluntarily step down earlier, but he will not fight for a second term. However, although he himself won't participate, Handduken has made it clear that the Labour Party will still be a contender, in some form or another. This could mean that Handduken might name a pair of successors to run as the party's new candidates and continue his work if they win. Who these new faces will be, however, is a mystery.

#### Snap elections imminent. King takes temporary executive power.

This afternoon at 15:26, His Majesty King Aston I delivered an important announcement to the nation in a rare televised broadcast stating that "the Government of our Kingdom is experiencing a problem the likes of which we have not seen since the downfall of JaimeGamer99 in 2017." Our monarch spoke of the resignation of the Vice President and of the long absence and uncertain continued position of President Handduken, announcing that "our lack of success in reaching him has left us no choice but to heavily consider a snap election, and this last move has forced this decision forward." In this situation, the King has announced that he is to take emergency executive control, and in effect, the powers of the President, until the newly announced early plebiscite. The elections were to initially take place in July, though this most grave government crisis has brought the date forward in order to resolve this matter of great urgency. With both the President and Vice President gone, candidates for the presidency must, in the King's words, "compile a formulaic, comprehensive list of all your plans, promises and intentions in the event you are elected, and have them prepared before February 15th." The exact date of the elections is not yet clear, but it will soon follow the previous date.

### **(5/01/23)**

#### Vice President steps down.

After two years of political service to the Kingdom, ToastIsBestFrozen has officially announced that he is stepping down as Vice President of the Government of Game City with immediate effect after months of Government inactivity. President Handduken's running mate and right hand man tendered his resignation to the rest of the Government Monarchy this morning in the middle of a growing crisis within the Kingdom's top ranks that had led to an ineffective executive branch and doubts from Parliament and the Supreme Court. The Vice President's resignation was kept under wraps for most of the day, though rumours of a government collapse did spread in the early morning hours on behalf of the left-wing Worker's Journal, producing panic and uncertainty among the citizens. Eventually, this was made public by an announcement from His Majesty the King at 15:26.

### **(10/10/22)**

#### Constitution approved!

After months of baited breaths, endless bureaucracy and challenges, Parliament finally approved the brand new Constitution of Game City. It had previously been approved by the Supreme Court on the 4th of July, but has finally been approved by the executive and legislative powers. After the final signature of His Majesty the King and the Sixteen Cardinals, the grand book of laws has entered legality at last.

#### Game City mourns death of Queen Elizabeth II.

King Aston I made an official announcement to the citizens of Game City dedicated to the memory of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away the previous day at Balmoral Castle. Game City would be one of many more sovereign nations to lead tributes to the historic figure of the late Queen, the longest reigning monarch in British history. The King of Game City would also forbid the citizens to talk ill of the deceased British Queen or of her successor, King Charles III, during such a sensitive time of mourning and uncertainty for not just the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, but the world.

#### Cane Islands become Crown Dependency!

After the dissolution of the Western Commercial Company and the sale of all of its assets to the Government, the Cane Islands have become the first overseas colony of the Kingdom of Game City, with the former trade post of Port Triumphos as the capital of this new territory. According to inside sources who witnessed the historic signing of the islands' handover, the Cane Islands will be incorporated not as a county, but as a Crown Dependency, meaning certain laws from the continent will vary in Port Triumphos. One of these variations is that the Cane Islands will not be represented in Parliament, and it will be under the direct rule of the King, represented in the islands by a Lord Harbourmaster. As the WEC was no more, the commercial company's banner was lowered for the last time from the governor's residence and the flag of the Kingdom of Game City was triumphantly raised.

### **(30/04/22)**

#### Communist Party formed.

A sector of For a Better World (FBW) led by player LaylaFire has broke off to form a brand new far-left political party known as the Communist Party of Game City (CPGC). The user has spoken to His Majesty the King and the new political faction has been officially inscribed into the presidential race for 2023.

#### Bizarre incident at the Cathedral.

An ambulance, presumably belonging to Game City County's primary healthcare service, Red Heart Hospital, has been seen driven into the Cathedral during non ceremonial hours. The incident was caught on live surveillance and has left the Bishop baffled, claiming this might be an act of deviance from the 'Wither Worshippers'. The ambulance has since been removed safely, though the driver is still at large.

### **(30/3/22)**

#### Parliamentary action finally enforced two weeks later.

Goldin Bank has officially been made to release half of its Emris Gems for inflation control, reducing the total number of these royal gems from twenty-two to just eleven. The value has quite literally doubled, now being worth **450,000 E** per jewel; a far cry from what once was, but a big step forward. This decision hasn't come without consequence, however. Today marks the first occasion that Parliament has been allegedly 'forced' to take such drastic measures, acting against common law for possibly the first time in history, and earning the frustration of Goldin Bank's entrustees, who have declared that moving forward, the commission bill for any jewellery purchases and sales in their business will rise to fifteen percent "to hopefully reimburse our stolen assets," says Goldin's anonymous administrator team. This has left many hoping for the sooner construction of the new *Hemphschere & Co.* bank, in the interest that this new business might be more fair to the public.

### (16/3/22)

#### Parliamentary vote approves Emris gem law.

The results of the recent parliamentary vote on President Handduken's controversial executive order have been released, with a parliamentary majority approving the bill. The President had written an order to Goldin Bank asking for the bank to control the quantity of Emris gems in its possession in order to control the recent jewelry inflation. Now that the law has been passed and has received royal assent from the King, it is a matter of time whether the measure will be successful or not.
