HRH Princess-Regent Katrina II Dies Suddenly; Princess Catherine Refuses Throne

The Principality of Carvain is mourning the loss of Princess-Regent Katrina II (3 May, 1957- 26 May, 2011), today. The cause of death has been ruled, "Respiratory arrest." HRH Katrina II was the Daughter of Princess-Regent Katrina I and Prince-Consort Albert. Carvain has been ruled by Katrina II since 1991, when she assumed the role upon the death of her mother, who had ruled for almost 31 years. After laying in state for two days, the princess-regent will be buried at the Royal Observatory Cemetery.

As the death was so sudden, HRH never declared a successor. Her 28 year-old, and only, daughter, Princess Catherine, has refused to take the throne, setting the stage for a power struggle, Katrina II's husband, Prince Karl, having died five years ago. The House of Roedl has controlled the regency since 1800, but now, other noble houses are stepping up to take over the regency, including the House of Delphi, the House of Custer, and the House of Cleaves. The future of Carvain hangs in the balance.

The People's Assembly of Terrasricas applauds Princess Catherine in her refusal to take the throne. Having just exterminated all remnants of monarchy, our citizens would like to encourage the people of Carvain to overthrow all royalty in their nation and dissolve the government in favor of a universal democratic people's council to govern the country. We will offer military aid if requested by the majority of the Carvain population.

by **Sceral** » Fri May 27, 2011 5:45 pm

If wanted, we may send one of our /princes/princesses to occupy the throne, and i'm sure that would be very beneficial to our relations.

Sincerely,

Matthew IV,
King of Sceral

Johann Istaul,
Prime-Minister

Don't worry, she is doing well here, just recently made a good deal with the local farm, everything should go great.

by **Norvenia** » Fri May 27, 2011 5:51 pm

The Commonwealth of Norvenia would like to remind the honored People's Assembly of Terrasricas that international law dictates that "military aid" to a sovereign state is acceptable only when the state, as well as the people therein, request that aid. Soliciting revolution against a duly constituted government represents a violation of national sovereignty and a breach of international law, a fact which the People's Assembly might do well to remember.

Similarly, the imposition of foreign rulers over the people of a sovereign state is permitted only when the people of that state, as well as its government, agree to accept such rulers - a fact which the honored King and Prime Minister of Sceral might also do well to recall.

Respectfully yours,

- Foreign Secretary Amelia O'Donnel

The People's Assembly of Terrasricas would like to declare its exemption from the constraints of international law on the grounds that we are not a state in the internationally understood sense. We are an organization consisting of the population of this land which is only given authority in this region based on the consent of those who live here to acquiesce to our will upon our request. As such, this land currently has no state occupying it, and we offer our assistance to Carvain solely as a group of private individuals.

OOC: My apologies, I did not realize that it was not. It does appear to have been changed, however.

IC: I would, firstly, like to thank the many nations who have offered their condolences at the passing of our beloved Princess-Regent. She was greatly loved within our nation, and we hope her successor will be as well.

I would also like to state that our citizens have not, in any way, declared their preference for a revolution. We have survived for hundreds years thanks to our monarchy (and since parliamentary consent is mandatory for any Carvainian monarch, we are graced with competent leaders).

We will continue to find a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

Sincerely,
Dennis Quaint, Speaker of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Parliament.

"Unfortunately, we Aleckandoreans can produce no worthy prince or princess from the all the land, for we're engaged in a civil crises of modern warfare between the warlordist feudal factions and paedocratic militants within our borders, and our land expansion efforts into the Southern Frontier have been rather damaging to our local economies in the settlement areas and we are taking heavy military casualties from the tribal insurgencies put up by the remnants of the Sentients. However, we offer our most cordial and honest of condolences to Katrina II, and we hope that she will find true rest in a better place with either God, Vishnu, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or whatever faith or mindset your people follow. Thank you for your time. Now, if you will excuse us, we have a lot of work to do. After all, we're an 18-year old nation locked upon a barren yet verdantly fruitful desert landmass; still fresh, yet rich in prosperity and opportunity, yet still so much room for improvement to be worked upon. Good day."

Regency Council Reaches Compromise

Late tonight, Chair of the Regency Council Princess Catherine announced the official compromised reached by its members. According to the new proposal (which must be approved by Parliament, and ratified by the citizens of Carvain), Viscount Kevin Palatine will marry a member of the small House Macmillan, and one of their children will ascend to the throne of Carvain. Until the time that said child reaches the age of maturity, Earl Phillipa Assange (pictured) will rule as Princess-Regent of Carvain.

According the compromise, the soon-to-be Princess-Regent would have to abdicate upon the 18th birthday of the future ruler (the child of Viscount Palatine and his new wife). Ear Assange will be coroneted immediately following the ratification of this compromise by the people of Carvain.

Earl Assange stated that her first priority upon becoming Princess-Regent would be to declare early elections for Parliament, as well as, "Straightening out" Carvain's finances.
