Yesterday was quite a momentous day for the Imperial Grand Duchy of Lundenwic as the keys to the territory of Bedfunta were officially handed back to the Baron of Bedfunta, Lord Lewis. The handing over of the keys, as foretold last month, marks an official end to the Lundener Civil War. Al Powell and the Marquis of New Charter chatted amicably before the keys were handed over. The Imperial Government is keen to thank all of those who supported them during the Civil War. The Prime Minister commented, “We made the pledge that the Civil War would be over this year and we have fulfilled that pledge. This is a historic day and I thank all those involved.” We are guessing he didn’t mean the Communists in his comment.
Earlier in the day, Dallin Langford revealed the referendum in the DRCC to join the Imperial Grand Duchy of Lundenwic had passed with a massive 80% majority. This means the Treaty of Mir can finally be signed and the territory of Cinnamon Creek incorporated into Lundenwic. This will be the first ever micronation annexed by Lundenwic and the Imperial Government is committed to bringing back it’s former glory, brimming with activity. The Minister of the Interior was quick to welcome the DRCC by saying, “I’d like to welcome our new brothers into the fold of Lundenwic,” while the Prime Minister reiterated Lundenwic’s commitment to the Protectorate of Cinnamon Creek, “This is a great chance of the community to see what we can do. For too long now we’ve hidden our inner workings and achievements. We’ve been greatly helped by the community and it is about time we gave back, about time that we helped.”Soon-to-be Governor-General Dallin Langford who actually held the referendum within the former DRCC said, “I think the signing of the Treaty of Mir, is excellent, there is no words to describe my joy in DRCC joining Lundenwic. Activity will soar higher than ever before and we will be in an honorable nation. I’m certainly pleased at the aspect of Ludenwic’s annexation of DRCC. May God Bless Lundenwic!” Lastly, our greatest ally and friend, HI&RM, Oscar, Emperor-King of Karnia-Ruthenia, one with much experience in this kind of expansion congratulated us by saying, “The DRCC joining with Lundenwic means they will become greater and bring much needed democracy to a young micro nation that has already suffered too much. This is the beginning of a reign of stability to them.”
