Breaking News! His Majesty has Passed Away!
Tiber - The nation mourns the death of late King Michael Aliquam. His Majesty appears to have passed away by natural causes on Sunday. The death has sent shock waves across the nation this week.

Since King Michael's coronation 49 years ago, the nation of Planta Genista has seen vast democratic reforms. Prior to 1966 the monarch had more power in government then the Parliament and prime minister. King Michael, wishing to allow the people to govern themselves, ended his monarchial powers making himself a "figure head" and no longer a ruler. His Majesty has been well liked in the nation as a result of this, though many people say it is because of his philanthropy that they like him. Sir Aliquam served in the army prior to his coronation and fought in the war with the neighbouring nation of Germailt.

His Majesty's funeral will be latter this afternoon at West King's Abby, Tiber. PGNN will be covering the funeral live from inside the abby. 50 guests have been invited to attend the funeral. Guests range from foreign diplomats to close friends.

The royal palace has confirmed Crown Prince Benoît's coronation will be held tomorrow at West King's Abby. PGNN will cover the coronation ceremony live.

Today the nation mourned as King Michael's funeral took place. Diplomats from all around the world were present, including the former Royal Family of H-Alba (who have been in Exile to Planta Genista beginning earlier this year). The nation was brought together as many cities held their own remembrance festivals in parks and city centres, allowing citizens of Planta Genista remember their beloved king.
But a question that was on the minds of many today was the heir. Prince Benoît the king's grandson's coronation ceremony will be tomorrow. But, what will he do as the monarch?

When King Michael Aliquam signed the Treaty of Government, 1966 he ended the reign of the absolute monarchy allowing the Parliament to have more power. The treaty however states that new monarchs have the choice to end parliament taking complete power. Many people are unsure if Prince Benoît will do so after his coronation. His mother, Princess Julia of Luxembourg, has stated her son has no intentions of doing so.

Will the reign of Prince Benoît bring a new age of proposer and civilisation to Planta Genista, much like his grandfather's? Time will only tell.
