The Royal Palace is a flurry of activity as senior government officials and members of the palace press corps have gathered in the Great Entry Hall of the palace, eagerly awaiting an address from King Kakali. As clock towers and cathedral bells all across the city chime the hour, the Palace Steward appears at the central landing on the Grand Staircase, and cries out "Ladies and Gentlemen, His Royal Majesty, King Kakali I, of the House of Anakelikonu, by the Grace of God King of Luthoria, Defender of the Faith and of the People". As the men and women in the hall stand and clap, the King enters from the second floor and descends the stairs. When he reaches the bottom, he steps up to a podium, flanked on either side by the National and Royal Flags. The King begins to speak:
Citizens of the United Kingdom of Luthoria,
We have been through a lot in our journey as a nation. 8 months ago, we feared that we were going to cease to exist as a people, but, with the help of another nation, we were able to pull through our rough time, and are once again independent and attempting to thrive. I will be quite honest and forthright with you this evening, and say that it would be stretching the truth to say that we are fully thriving. Activity is lagging, posts are down from the initial declaration of our independence, and we seem to be going adrift. Well, all this, God willing, is about to end.
Moments ago, I signed into law to important pieces of policy that will greatly improve our beloved kingdom. First, I have ordered the Royal Luthorian Mint to print LM500,000,000,000 that will eventually be put into circulation. The bulk will be kept for the budget for at least the next 4 years, possibly longer, and LM100,000,000,000 will be used by this government to rebuild our infrastructure, our military, and to be distributed to the people to entice the citizenry to go out and get involved in our economy, and to make it grow. The second piece of policy that was initiated tonight was a new simulation law, which will allow us to have a greater ‘Non-player character’ citizenry and allow for a greater military than what we had under our old system that has been carried over from the old days.
We have many projects that myself and other members of the Royal Government have been working on, and hope to bring to fruition soon. One is a project that the Royal Chancellor and I call the “random event generator”, which will allow the government to have randomly generated events occur and have our nation have to deal with them. Some events would be positive, some potentially negative. This is just a glimpse in what we are working on.
I want to encourage each of you to post as often as you can, even if it isn’t some monumental post of great importance. I encourage all of you to start up random discussions, debates. Anything that will help increases our nation’s activity. I know that I have not been the best at this myself, but I make a promise this night to do better, and to lead by example in this area.
Now I would quickly like to address the issue of the so called “Boru Gate” that has been discovered at sea a few hundred miles from our beloved home islands. Our scientists aboard the LCS Aedan Clark have confirmed that the gate does in fact lead to the world of Micras. Furthermore, they have determined that the gate is created from some sort of chemical reaction between two unknown elements, and that it ascends at least 1,000 feet into the air, and at least 600 feet below the surface of the sea. Our lead scientist on the project believes that the gate is emitted from a fissure in the surface of the sea floor, although we do not currently have any submarines at our disposal to confirm or deny this theory. And as to the concern that the gate is unstable and would make it too dangerous for our government to allow for the colonization of lands on Micras, our scientists have come to the conclusion that this gate is stable, and we should not worry about it collapsing. They cite the fact the sea water on both the Aura and Micras side of the gate are of the same make up, and that this “gate delta”, which has a unique blend of Auran and Micran seawater, extend to about 40 to 50 miles away from the gate, implying that this gate has been there a long time to allow such a unique blend to extend so far out, even with sea currents diluting the blend. Because of this, I have authorized the Royal Colonial Authority to being preparing a colonizing team that will be sent over to Micras to establish a permanent Luthorian settlement on that world.
The days ahead are days full of promise. With a little effort, this could be one of the golden eras of Luthoria’s history. Come, work with me, and it will be!
Good night to you all, and may God bless you and keep you.
