Pirates Attack Village! In a recent, unfortunate incident, a village was raided by the infamous "Brethren of the Channel," a pirate crew working across the English channel. Admiral of the Fleet Victor Osman told the people of our fledgling nation not to worry, however. "Until now, I have been a man with a title and no command. I have not been able to strike back against the villains of the sea. However, even before the pirate attacks commenced, King Edward has provided me funding with which to built a fleet. The first few, smaller ships should be completed shortly. They will not be able to eradicate the pirate threat, but should act as a deterrent. The real victory will be when, in a year's time, the HMS King Edward I will be completed. A beautiful ship of the line, it will withstand anything the pirates can throw at it." Social Experiment Ended King Edward I recently implemented a series of tax reforms on the nation. The reforms were meant to shift the tax burden towards the wealthy, in an attempt to encourage the growth of small businesses, and to prevent the poor from falling into even deeper poverty. They were based on the principle of human decency; that the rich would be willing to use their extra money, just sitting around, to help the poor. Unfortunately, that failed, and many businesses are leaving the nation in order to obtain slightly lower tax in other nations. Since the end of the year and tax season is not even close, and the social experiment lasted for less than a month, King Edward I hopes that not many businesses were able to leave yet. Taxes will be set back at previous levels. |

Oddly, today, the King sank all ships currently being built for the Royal Navy. He also turned his crown over to the Queen of England. When asked why, he only said "Eh. This king crap gets old. Just do what the queen or whatever tells you. I'm moving to Vegas." Puzzling. |
