Royal Announcement:

Official Press Release from the Crown.

I am Spence, King of Zarahemla

We are also thankful for the Royal Family.  Her Majesty the Queen-Consort is a source of strength to us.  The Royal Heirs are a source of joy and pride.  We as a micronation have much to be thankful for.  No other micronations are at war with us, we have a good reputation in the organizations we belong to, and we have a great cheering section in our ‘Three.”

We are also grateful for the interaction that has grown between the Peers.  We are also amused at the silences that fall upon us from time to time.  However, we prefer the chatter.

I would like to wish all Zarahemlans a very wonderful Christmas.  It is the time for joy.  It is the time for giving.  It is a time for remembering those who have less fortune than we.

This Christmas was indeed a joyful time for the Royal Family. Prince Nathanael and Princess Brittanie are both home for the holidays.  Prince Nano is still in his officer exchange program with the US Army.  We prayed that he wouldn't be sent to Afghanistan and to his chagrin, our prayers have been answered.  He returns on the 27th.

Princess Brittanie is home for the break between semesters at BYU Idaho or Bee Why Youdiho as she calls it.  Her grades were not as spectacular as she would have liked, but the shift from Secondary Education to Post Secondary can be rather difficult. Her second semester should be quite a bit better.

We heard from the Crown-Prince this afternoon. He has been a Zone Leader for a considerable time.  He is doing well and has only 8 months to go.  We anxiously await his return.  It was interesting to compare what he is doing with what I did 23 years ago in Montréal.

We hope that the citizenry of the Realm have a joyous time this entire holiday season and a Happy New Year.

It is with great emotion that I stand here this day to address you. Our beloved Zarahemla is now over nine years old. It is quite the endeavor to maintain and expand a small group of people from the beginnings of a Claim to a Committee to hold the Claim for these years. You are my friends; you are my Peers; you are my nation. I stand here to convene Parliament. Though this is still an advisory body to the Monarch, I hold great stock in your opinions. I believe strongly in the principle of government by the common consent of the people so governed. It is by consent and consensus that this body moves. Ideas move freely through this body, tossed and rebounded from one Lord or Lady to another. This brings us to the question, "What shall become of Zarahemla?" I would discuss the education of the young, up and coming Lordlings and other Zarahemlans. This is a issue that has been brought up time and time again. I have appointed The Right Honorable Lady, Dame Charlene of Castrovalva as Minister of Education. I reaffirm my commitment to this arrangement. Lady Charlene, if you choose, I would have you continue to serve in this office. I would urge this body to discuss this point and delineate the Royal Governments role in the education of the young. Our rôle in the Micronational world is an issue to discuss. We have been in the past members of SpUM, UM and the LoSS. We have had several allies many of whom are no longer nations. Through out the years, Reunion, Malossia, torHaven, New Worcester Kingdom, & Tebeakesse have stood by us and we by them. I suggest that we continue to our membership in the LoSS. Perhaps a report of the doings of the LoSS can be arranged by the advice of this body. Our Culture, the quirky and amusing traditions we have built up here in the last nine years needs to be retained. We have been such a warm body of Peers I would like to continue this feeling and mood that we have attained. I am Spence, King of Zarahemla June 2007 The royal family issues this press release: Royal anouncement The Royal Family is quite pleased to announce the birth, yesterday of The Right Honorable Lady, Erin Rielle, the Countess of Carujia. Born to Her Highness, Brittanie, The Duchess of Shejidan and His Grace, Lord Matthew, Marquess of Shejidan, June 7th weighing 6 lb 13 oz and measuring 19 inches in length. The Royal Family is quite happy to have this expansion of the extended family. - Last updated on 06/13/2007 21:25:50
