Following the appointment of HE Guillermo de Berlanga y Prieto as Councillor for the European Union, and after consultation with the Derectan Popular Alliance, I am pleased to announce that I appoint The Hon.

This decision becomes effective as of the immediate signing of the decree regulating the new duties of The Hon. Julian Maverick, MS.

Current situation of Her Grace The Most Hon. Cayetana Valcárcel-Aranjuez y Pérez de Viñastre, Duchess of Athenaesios, MS, Prime Minister of the Republic of Derecta

---

After attending the Spanish National Day events, our Head of State and Government, Her Grace The Most Hon. Cayetana Valcárcel-Aranjuez y Pérez de Viñastre, Duchess of Athenaesios, MS, is currently missing. Cabinet members who travelled with her state that the Prime Minister decided to attend an unofficial event in Ibiza, Spain, hosted by Inquistan socialite Mikaela Kligenberg.

Reports from our embassy in Antequera suggest that, after having been illegally apprehended by the Spanish authorities, violating the principle of diplomatic immunity of top government officials, the Prime Minister was abducted and removed from the premises by what could be an international organised crime organisation.

The Government of the Republic of Derecta wishes to inform any involved party that the detaining of our Head of State and Government constitutes an act of war, which shall be answered proportionately.

3 "Charybdis" class supercarriers, 5 "Scylla" class destroyers, 5"Aegaeon" class frigates, 3 "Thalassa" class cruisers and 5 "Phorcys" class nuclear-powered attack submarines are already sailing towards international waters surrounding Spain. 10 "Athene noctua" class fighters and 4 "Apollo" class strategic bombers, escorted by 5 "Cornucopia" class tankers, shall be periodically flying over the international airspace surrounding Spain ready to attack facilities suspected of holding the Prime Minister. 25,000 troops are on standby ready to be deployed.

This is an official declaration by the Republic of Derecta of its instating of a state of exception. Our allies are advised to provide us with any and all information regarding the Prime Minister's situation. We also inform our allies that the Republic of Derecta is now taking a belligerent position, and any further threat to our national integrity will force us to declare war.
