HM Fortwhile Returns After Brief Absence

For a short period, Londinium welcomed it’s second ever monarch (albeit a temporary one) as Crown Princess Lady Cari took on the mantle of sovereign until further notice. Fortwhile, the regional monarch, had said that he would try to be involved as much as possible but said he felt that the region will benefit from Lady Cari dealing with the day-to-day functioning of the region while he was busy with real life and duties in other regions.
Now, with more time on his hands, he returns to resume control of Londinium.

Governmental Reform - No longer in effect with new constitution

After huge plans to reform the system of regional government gathered lots of support, Londinium decided to reform its government. Everyone was on board with change, but initially not all agreed on what form it should take.
In the end, we decided to adopt a unicameral legislature. This is to be composed of an indefinite amount of members after many were dissatisfied with inactivity in Parliament. The idea hopes to allow for swifter passing of legislation - with input from more parties - and a legislature that can function more efficiently.
Party politics will perhaps be more involved in regional government too, which is a boost to activity. The exact rules for application to the house were determined and set out in the first Act of the new Regional Council.

Others involved have been calling for a Council-Manager style government in addition, whereby the PM is elected by the legislature, which would hold parliamentary sovereignty over the region. With limited powers to one executive individual, they argue, we are more likely to get things done and officials will not lose interest as quickly, with a cabinet that is more accountable for their actions.

New Citizenship Process

The Constitution has been updated to reflect the passage of an amendment recognising a “citizen” of Londinium as different to a “resident”, while we begin to implement our first formal citizenship process for new nations.
Residents are now being asked to fill out an application form to attain citizenship in order to provide a more secure region and prevent against voter fraud.
