DAY 1: REVIEW AT SEA

It was a beautiful saturday morning, everything had been prepared according to plan. All 31 Ships of the Royal Navy, Coastguard, and Naval Reserve Force are lined up in formation near the Maine Delta Extension of the port in HMF Brewnest. From a distance, the audience at the coast started hearing "Man the Rails!" from each ship signaling that the event is about to start. Sailors of each ship then fill the rails of their respective ships, dressed in their No. 1A Dress.

After a few minutes, the guests of honor arrive and board the HMC St. Raphael which took them near the ships. The royal anthem then plays while the HMC St. Raphael and the sovereign's escort HMS Birmington approach the fleet. The sovereign's ship and escort stop in between HMS Buckingham and HMS Gullicken and the king salutes as national anthem plays while saluting cannons from all ships fire simultaneously.

PART 1: SOVEREIGN'S INSPECTION

Music Playing: Heart of Oak - March of the Royal Navy
After the national anthem, the music then changes to the Heart of Oak. Then, the sovereign's ship and escort steams between the bows of HMC Normandy and HMC Pomerania. All sailors of all ships then stand at attention as the king passes by.

The sovereign's ship and escort then starts to make their way down the aisle between the ships of the fleet to inspect them. As the king approaches near a pair, he utters "Gratulor nautae mei, tibi gratias agimus pro virtute tua" (I congratulate you my sailors, we thank you for your bravery). The sailors then respond loudly with "Vivat rex, salve rex" (Long Live the King, God Save the King).

Minutes later, the sovereign's ship and escort approaches the end of the fleet line. Both ships then turn around and return to a distance from the start of the line to wait as the second part begins.

PART 2A: SAILPAST OF THE FLEET

One by one, each ship pair accelerate passing by the sovereign's ship and escort. The order of the ships are as follows:

Port Starboard HMS Buckingham HMS Gullicken HMS Prestige HMS Indefagitable HMS Indomitable HMS Unity HMS Trafalgar HMS Oxford HMS Nelson HMS Mountbatten HMS Edington HMS Bravery HMS Wellington HMS Winsbrow HMS Devon HMS Surrey HMS Hanover HMS Liverpool HMS King William HMS Queen Victoria HMC Henry Potent HMC Julius Wagner HMC Oscar Peters HMC George Nimitz HMC Henry Quincy HMC Pomerania HMC Normandy HMC St. Michael HMC St. Gabriel HMC St. George PART 2B: FLYPAST

9x Tiger F.4 fighters pass by in a diamond formation followed by 5x Crimson FA.3 fighters in arrow formation and 5x Grasshopper GA.3 VTOL jets also in arrow formation. After the combat jets, a Buffalo AEW.5 with 2 DHC-5 Buffalo AWACS and cargo aircraft follow in formation. 10 NH90 Helicopters follow in a triangle formation, followed by 5 Guardian HC.1 helicopters in arrow formation with the flight leader towing the ensign of the Royal Navy.

PART 3: DAY 1 CLOSING

The Sovereign's ship and escort then proceed to the port to go home. The Royal Anthem "God Save the King" plays as the king and the royal family depart the event. The second day's event would be held at the same port but on the ground instead of the sea.

The Queen of Montenbourg directed a message at the @Nofoaga presidential lawn. Here’s the rush MBC Newsmakers transcript of the speech at the Lawn of the Presidential Residence this evening:

*"During my visit, I have the honor of addressing this a friend country, where I hope as a sister of this country to offer words of encouragement to those who are to guide the nation’s political future, in fidelity to its founding basis. After the disastrous events caused by the horrendous eruption in this soil, my country lend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters under a housing project in Tuagavale as part of the Nofoaga Islands reconstruction plan. Because there is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about, and we care about our brothers and sisters of Nofoaga.

My sister, Her Majesty's Ambassador to Nofoaga Islands Her Royal Highness The Princess Catherine has stood on the ongoing efforts of reconstruction, as formal sign of Montenbourgian help in Nofoagan soil. And we stand by that promise.

And today I also want to address a situation that affects the lives of the boys and girls who live near this mangroves that Climate Change has affected their livelihoods, no nation can solve this crisis on our own we need to work together. This is a moral imperative, not an economic imperative. Today My Government is expanding its foreign aid to the movement: "Protect Nofoaga Against Climat Change" by contributing 12Millon EMUs to this cause allocating this funds in helping this families and the nofoagan government.

And yes, In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it. I see with sad eyes the division and hatred caused by some mismanagement of this beautiful Island, but It has been my great pleasure to have met with President Jaques Salé .

Thank you again, Mr. President, for inviting me to visit Port Beauharnais. You're a close and good friend of the Kingdom; a leader dedicated to freedom, democracy, and peace; Mr. President, together we should never fear our citizens. I believe they are committed to building a society which is truly tolerant and inclusive to safeguarding the rights of individuals and communities, and to reject in every form of injustice and discrimination.

President Salé has been a driving force throughout his country's democratic development. In 1995 he led democracy's return to Nofoaga after years of uncertainty and turmoil. Indeed, he is, in many ways, the father of Nofoagan democracy. It's a great honor to be here. The Kingdom of Montenbourg and Nofoaga have enjoyed very close and warm relations. Our meeting today reflected the important historical, cultural, political, and economic ties that bind our two countries. We discussed the economic problems that face us and examined possible solutions as the aids hereby presented.

Humanity has the ability to all together in building our common home. As Montenbourgians inspired by this, we wish to commit ourselves to the conscious and responsible care of our common home.

My Government will continue to be a close source of friendship to the Nofoganese people and a standpoint for future generations in their fight against this climate crisis. Thank you, God Bless Europe!"*

The Court has deliberated for hours longer than anticipated. Judgement was expected yesterday afternoon, but finally now seems imminent.

Door Steward: "His Imperial Majesty and the Imperial Crown Court, all rise."

Justices, led by Emperor Artabanos, enter the room and are seated at their benches.

Vice President Van Tienhoven: "Please, be seated. The Imperial Crown Court shall now rule on the case of Imperial Prosecutor Extraordinaire Paul Robinax EC and Commissioners vs. Lando Ambrogio, Augustus Barrington, Maximillian de Barrington, Marco Brookfield, Dominic Dalfarra, Glennis Mayfair, and Peter Zan. This Court has judged in pre-trial hearings that defendants AMBROGIO, DALFARRA, and ZAN, are to be tried collectively, and defendants BARRINGTON, DE BARRINGTON, and MAYFAIR, are similarly to be collectively judged.

"In the case of defendants AMBROGIO, DALFARRA, and ZAN, the Court considered the defendants' evidenced roles in the Neo-Venetian revolutionary administration, their reported backgrounds, and the admission from the second group of defendants that the first group was indeed guilty. The Court therefore issues the following judgements:

The Imperial Crown Court finds, in the case of defendant Lando AMBROGIO, that the charge of intentionally directing military attacks against civilian populations has been proven, and therefore finds the defendant guilty; that the charge of committing outrages upon personal dignity has been proven, and therefore finds the defendant guilty; that the charge of adhering to His Imperial Majesty's enemies has been proven, and therefore finds the defendant guilty; that the charge of intending to encompass the death of His Imperial Majesty has been proven, and therefore finds the defendant guilty."

Marco Brookfield, Peter Zan, and Dominic Dalfarra are similarly found guilty on all charges.

Van Tienhoven: "The Court further suggests that the defendants' offences may range beyond those they were charged with in this case. The Court will not prevent foreign or domestic jurisdictions from charging the defendants with further cases. The Imperial Government shall reserve the right to extradite any of these defendants to the Apostolic Crown of Angleter, following proper administrative procedures. The Court rules the defendants shall not be extradited to any other foreign nation."

"In the case of defendants BARRINGTON, DE BARRINGTON, and MAYFAIR, the Court considered the trust placed by His Imperial Majesty in the defendants and the charges brought subsequently. The Court further considered the unprecedented access to sensitive information held by all three defendants. Finally, the Court weighed the probability of defendant MAYFAIR's involvement with the alleged treasonous plot. The Court therefore issues the following judgements:

"The Imperial Crown Court, in the case of defendant Augustus BARRINGTON, the charge of High Treason, guilty" ... "the charge of conspiracy, guilty" ... "the charge of adhering to His Imperial Majesty's enemies, guilty" ... "the charge of intending to encompass the death of His Imperial Majesty, guilty"; "In the case of defendant Maximillian DE BARRINGTON, the charge of unauthorised disclosure of official secrets, guilty" ... "the charge of conspiracy, guilty" ... "the charge of High Treason, guilty" ... "the charge of adhering to His Imperial Majesty's enemies, guilty" ... "the charge of intending to encompass the death of His Imperial Majesty, guilty"; "In the case of defendant Glennis MAYFAIR, the charge of unauthorised disclosure of official secrets, guilty" ... "the charge of conspiracy, guilty" ... "the charge of High Treason, not guilty".

Murmuring in the courtroom. Mayfair's acquital of High Treason will likely see her escape the harshest punishment of all.

"All defendants are remanded to custody pending sentencing at a later date. Court dismissed."

The Case closes with a bang of the gavel.

Slavomíra Černá was quite comfortable in her fairly new position of Czech Ambassador to Inquista. She was away from affairs inside the Socialist Republican Party, away from important decision making at home yet also away from the attention of President Reiserová while maintaining an important position. This situation worked for both women and Černá wasn't expecting that anything would change. That is why she was shocked to discovered, that President Reiserová has send her a message requesting her presence at the meeting between the UNSR and Free Icholasen. Despite the negative feelings both of them felt towards the other, Reiserová recognized Černá as liked by the Archbishop Kligenberg and very familiar with Korojaunu Sanders, the only time Reiserová saw Sanders, she was still an actress preparing to play a military commander in a video game. Černá quickly went to the airport and left for Prague.

In Prague,Černá, in a conservative dress, was greeted by President Reiserová dressed in a military uniform of the People's Army of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia, Reiserová's way of demonstrating her importance to the foreign representatives while hiding how truly small she still felt compared to them. To Černá it again and immediately reminded the main reason she disliked Reiserová's form of governance. To her it seemed that there no longer was any depth towards anything, there was nothing real, everything was an act, everything was replaced by shallowness. While Reiserová was officialy the Head of the Armed Forces and had the right to wear a military uniform, her only connection to the army was the role of the military commander in a video game, and even then her character was scratched, as defeating the character played by the President in a game would be considered an insult to the state. Yet there she stood, a former b-movie actress, in a military uniform, smiling. And yet, all she said to her was: "Comrade President, the Ingenious Leader of the Nation, I am very pleased to see you again"

The flight to Europolis was mostly silent and after landing both women refused to comment to the press before the meeting. Heading to the building quickly. There both of them greeted other representatives, Reiserová by saluting before shaking their hand, and tokk a seat waiting for the meeting to officialy begin.

Once everyone has arrived Premier Commissioner Čikarová stood up and begun her short speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, I am honored to welcome you in Europolis and begin the meeting between the Union of Nicoleizian Socialist Republics and the Nine Dominions of Icholasen. I believe it will be productive and will pave a way for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and for a prosperous future of not only Icholasen, but the entire Europe and you have the full support of the European Commission in achieving those goals.

I can't sadly stay here with you, but in spirit I will be here with you. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to act wisely so that the future generations may live happy lives, safe from the dangers of an armed conflict and from suffering. And so that they may look back at this meeting as a step towards a happy and prosperous life. Peace will prevail. Thank you."

After finishing her speech, Čikarová put her hand on Daggot's shoulder, before leaving the room and leaving Daggot to preside over the meeting.

"Thank you comrades Lallana and Tilkanas for you contribution to the debate.

I am glad that we all agree on many of the needed updates like the removal of the first point of section I. and that the sixth point of Section II. needs to be changed, I back comrade Tilkanas' call for a Central Bank "focused not on maintaining the stability of financiers and big business but rather that of ordinary people". There also seems to be an agreement that the last point of the manifesto is vague and since no changes to that point have been proposed and nobody spoke in favour of keeping the point I agree that the point should be taken out of the manifesto.

Comrade Tilkanas proposed the removal of even more of the points of the current manifesto, including the entirety of the section IV, and we should not debate their removal. I agree that point 1 has been state through the manifesto and support its removal, however points 2., 3., 4., 5. and 6. have not been stated in previous points in the manifesto. There have been no mentions of the right to free education and healthcare, and the right to work and housing, freedom of press or the rights of the transgender individuals. To answer the question if these point should stay in the manifesto, I consider it necessary to have a point regarding the right to free education and healthcare, and the right to work and housing and a point about the freedom of press, however I am not entirely sure what the "responsible media" means and the mention of them could be removed, I see no problems with how point 6 of section IV is formulated. I have no opinion on he point about the rights of transgender individuals so I leave that debate up to you, comrades.

I can support the removal of points from section II. that comrade Tilkanas mentioned, but that is only if we can make a different point or points regarding the ecology, as that is a topic that should not be left out. I ask Comrade Tilkanas if she has any alternative she would like to propose.

I myself would like to adres the points in Section I. that regard our position on the nationalities question as comrade Tilkanas have brought my attention to it. Point 3 "Every country must have national self-determination" this sentence is nonsensical comrades, the right to self-deteremination belongs to nations, not states. Point 5 "Every nationality has the right to existence as a separate national state." if we say every nation has a right to self-determination than this is obvious and is indeed just a repetition.

For that reason I propose the following changes: Points 3 and 5 to be removed from the manifesto and replaced with a new Point 3 that would state: "The right of self-determination for all nations must be ensured across the European Union." I would like to open a debate about this proposition and if you disagree with the formulation I would like to hear your propositions.

Moving onto the proposition made by comrade Lallana that comrade Tilkanas has voiced opposition to. I believe it would be a move in the right direction to remove Point 6 of Section I. the experience we have collected so far shows us that broader coalitions are required in order to achieve a change in Europe and for that reason we should open our arms and welcome comrades who are willing to fight with us for a just European Union regardless of what is their position on the role of the religion in society and the state. Inquistan comrades should however always welcome those with different faiths or no fait among each other. I will vote for the removal of this point. Before I start the vote on the removal of this point, I would like to ask the representative from Reitzmic Labour Party, if he or she is present here, if their party agrees with Point 4 of Section I. which states: "We condemn monarchies of all kinds as a system of government"?

Update: Due to the Liberty Crisis, the report was updated every 24 hours. The score in the political component is now at 71 points, meaning that elections will not be reheld. Instead, President Lavoie will have to go through a 38 hour long ceremony and oath to vouch for democratic values of the nation.

"I ask no condemnation Jesus" said Romain while drinking his coffee. "I am only asking for a strong position on human rights."

Romain Guichard put his cup of coffee on the side table, folded his hands together and leaned forward towards the Spanish president.

"Jesus, I'd really like to talk about something else. About the economy of Nofoaga. It is no secret that our economy is not the strongest in Europe. Little natural resources, small territory... We're actually building on what our grandparents and great-grandparents worked on: fish. I'll get straight to the point. I would very much like to obtain a tax exemption for the fishermen flying the Nofoagenese flag in Spanish waters. And... the same rights as Spanish fishermen."

The president of Nofoaga leaned back. After a few seconds of silence he shouted: "Oh, your coffee is up! Another cup?"

Simon was a bit surprised that there's a 3rd guest to the summit, but surely he'd be happy to make arrangements with two nations in one shot. When John Peter Key came in, he held himself and hoped that this summit would be more productive. He shook his hand and welcomed him to the meeting place.

Mikaela tried her best not to cry during the beautiful marriage ceremony, but she couldn't help herself. It was such a sweet and tender wedding, and both Carlos and Tommy looked like two beautiful lovebirds. Mikaela was simply too much of a romantic to stop herself from crying from the sidelines. The Archbishop's make up streaked across her face, and she looked like a hot mess. Mikaela was in a hurry to find a bathroom shortly after the wedding ceremony was complete, so she could touch up on her make up and look stunning in the post-ceremony pictures.

Mikaela had organised for the photographer who snapped the scandalous pictures of Severina to take the pictures at the wedding. After posing with Tommy, Carlos, Anastasia and a few other guests, Mikaela felt satisfied with the amount of Instagram content she would have for the days to come.

After snapping some pictures and mingling with some guests, it was finally time for Mikaela to address her final order of business: her suitors. Mikaela had originally thought it would be cute for V (or any member of BTS) to have a dance battle with Johnny, but she decided that she wanted to be surprised by their talents instead, and opted for a variety show.

The reception room had been converted into a small auditorium, where 4 chairs faced a stage. Mikaela decided she needed some input from her close confidants on the matter, so she invited Tommy, Carlos, and the most dangerous critic she knew, Paloma Faith, to join her on the panel of Mikaela's Suitors Got Talent.

Whenever the suitors were ready, they could present any sort of performance of their liking, hoping to woo the judging panel.

The Royal College decisively confirmed Birgitte Nyborg on Saturday as the nation’s next Prime Minister, ratifying her party victory on Wednesday. Candidates Underwood and McCord from the Classical Monarchist Party extended her congratulations.

The electors gave the Liberal Party a solid majority of 306 electoral votes to the Classical Monarchists Party 180. In a historical landslide victory of the Liberal Party, after three decades of the CMP governing.

The Right Honourable Birgitte Nyborg (born September 1, 1970) becomes the 45th and current Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Montenbourg.

After Nyborg graduated from high school in 1988, she went on to Bosco University. She graduated from the Foreign Service at Bosco University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service in International Politics. She became part of the Foreign Office as third-Secretary of the foreign aid division . In 2003, she decided to run for the Montague City Council as a candidate for the Liberal Party.

Nyborg was elected to the Montague City Council in 2004 by the voters of Montague’s 1st district. During her first term as a member the City Council, she served on the Committee on Tenants Reform. In early 2006, she was re-elected to a second term in City Council. During her second term, Nyborg was assigned to the powerful Committee on Ways and Means.

In November 2007, she announced that she would not seek a third term in the City Council in the 2008 election, but instead would run for the Parliament House. Nyborg narrowly won the Liberal Party nomination at the state convention over businessman Jame Rothschild on June 17, 2008 and in a close race, defeated Classical Monarchist parliament member Anne Linden and Green parliament member Benedict Farmer on November 4, 2008. She was sworn in as a member of Parliament on January 3, 2009, as one of many Liberal Party politicians elected in the 2008 elections.

On July 8, 2016, Nyborg on a tiene vote against the Classical Monarchists secured a coalition government, without her in cabinet but with members of her party.

On June, 2021, she formally ended the coalition government with Xavier Bettel under a scandal with the price of tenants and put a no-confidence vote, resulting in the calling of general elections.
