"THE ERA OF A NEW RUSSIA HAS BEGUN"-PROCLAIMS RUSSIA CATHERINE V

Catherine V

---

19:8:19;Moscow:
Since its inception, the state of Russia has long been known and identified as the proponent model of Eastern Orthodoxy and the Eastern overlord power following its rise and the subsequent decline of the Ottoman and Qing empires.As the new wave of liberalism and democracy has stemmed itself into the modern roots of Europe today, it has somehow seen a slow progress of development, generally in Rurik Russia today.With its tradition of long-standing autocratic rulers with limited amount of democratic values, it is still yet to be applied fully even with a Prime Minister in charge as head of government.

Realizing this, the young and popular reactionary, Tsarina Catherine V has brought a new wave of hope when in a speech she made following the ratification of a new hotel in Moscow, the tsarina remarkably quoted, The era of a New Russia has begun".While there are numerous doubts and speculations regarding the "New Era" term, some say that it might be the transition to a more capitalistic economy from its dominant socialist economical state.But one theory stands out, hinting a possible democratic transition of power from the autocratic monarchy system to the federal government.

Though there has been no indications of such in the time being, indications arising from the current political situation in Rurik Russia might indicate a large reform of its elite government system.

TSARINA TEASES "FUTURE EMPRESS CONSORT" AS HI&RM REVEALS RECENT ENGAGEMENT TO AUSTRALIAN SUPERMODEL

22:1:20, Moscow:
As the new decade marks its opening trails with various twist of both shocking and entertaining events that has occured recently, a new revelation made by the Russian government has proven that Russia itself is no exception.

The 25 year old tsarina of Russia, who had previously made headlines in her pledge to "reform" Russia's old autocratic system has yet made a name of herself when it was revealed that Her Imperial and Royal Majesty has been officially engaged to the 31 year old Australian supermodel, Catherine McNeil.

As part of the announcement, it was stated that the two had met each other back in 2014 when the tsarina was still living in the UK. Initially, the pair did not developed mutual feelings for each other and according to several close sources, the tsarina eventually reconnected with the Australian supermodel and the pair began dating in secret ever since. "I was truly in need of a female acquaintance, it was never an easy burden", explained Catherine as she then stated that McNeil was "deeply understanding" of her situation and treated the young tsarina as an equal in their relationship despite their "cultural, religious and social differences". "While I'm not sure on when we will be officially married or if we would be adopting any children for that matter, I can assure you that Russia will have a new female empress consort".

While the announcement received mixed reviews from the Russian public, liberal groups in and outside of Russia has praised the tsarina for her brave exposure of her secret bisexuality and the tsarina's "progress in becoming an influential 21st century reformist". On an additional note, Miss McNeil will be bestowed upon with the title of "Grand Duchess" until her eventual marriage where she would be then proclaimed as "Tsarina Consort" by the tsarina herself.
