Statement Regarding Peripheral Territories

Post by Andreas the Wise »

It is with great sadness that I address you, today, as Lord General of Gralus. Our once mighty empire is being beggared by this economic depression which has persisted in recent years. That, in turn, has reduced the budget for Imperial Administration, and that, in turn, has reduced the quality of governance in our peripheral territories. Material Myzoria is now for all intents and purposes outside of Imperial control, Gralan governance of Istvanistan is a sad shadow of the Micron governance in that territory, the last material vestiges of the Jokerdom have long lacked even a joke government, and the government of Relaram has collapsed under the dark forces that assault that province. Of our peripheral territories, only Kalla and the Vraillan Isles maintain effective governance - and great thanks should go to VBNC and Queen Analis for their work there.

In short, our capacity to effectively govern the afore-mentioned peripheral territories is now gone. In consultation with the Empress and the Chief Justice, we have decided to relinquish Gralus' claims to following peripheral territories, and grant them full rights of self-governance: Material Jokerdom, Material Myzoria, Relaram, Istvanistan (except for Bastion City). Our remaining budget will be devoted to governing the core territories, and Gralus maintains full claim to the Jokerdom in its pocket dimension, and to Astral Myzoria. It is our sincere hope that soon the economy will revive, our nation will get back on its feet, and we may again extend the hand of governance to these places.

All citizens presently living in the self-governing territories will be allowed to maintain their citizenship, should they so desire, and those peripheral citizens who wish to move back into the Gralan Empire in light of this announcement will be able to gain assistance from the Lord General's office to do so, where required.

The Empress and Chief Justice will be along shortly to confirm that Relaram is no longer considered a province of the Gralan Empire. King Lachlan has affirmed his assent to these steps, on the advice of the Director General of the Department of King and Cabinet.
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave. But he does deserve a cool war ribbon.

However, this account still manages:

Manuel - CEO of VBNC. For all you'll ever need.

Duke Mel'Kat - Air Pirate, Melangian, and Duke of the Flying Duchy of Glanurchy

Vur'Alm Xei'Bôn - Speaker of Nelaga, Minister of Interior Affairs, and a Micron
