![]() ![]() KNIGHT COMMANDER MAKES ANNUAL ADDRESS The Head of State of the nation of Hospitalaria today made his annual address to the nation from the Fortress of St.John. This is the Knight Commander's 2nd speech and this year had an emphasis on foreign policy. The main part of his speech is reproduced below.
The rest of his speech focused on several up coming changes the Round Table will discuss and vote upon in the next few weeks. * A reduction of income tax. * Creation of tourism centres * Formation of a Travelling Order to recruit globally. * Establishment of a Marine Reserve * Establishment of three new desalinisation plants for the island. * Investment in green energy using wave power and offshore wind-farms. |

![]() ![]() CITADEL TO GET OVERHAUL St.John's Citadel, the ancient fort which gives its name to the capital city, will receive a significant overhaul. The fort sits at the mouth of the islands biggest harbour and in times gone by was responsible for repelling several assaults on the city by foreign nations. The Citadel today is largely ceremonial however it does retain several defensive capabilities. It is thought however that much of the overhaul will be improving facilities there for the many staff of the Knight Commander. It is also thought that a larger than previously anticipated section shall be open to tourists. The Knght Commander even commented on the increase in tourist facilities saying. "The Citadel is a key part of our nations heritage, it should be something every Hospitallar treasures. It saved our life in times gone by and stood as a bastion of good in dark times. As a little boy I remember imagining being one of The Order in days long gone fending off hordes of savages. It's only right our nation can embrace its heritage." It is thought however a series of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles will be stationed providing the capital with defensive coverage, rumours also persist of an anti-missile defence system being established within the walls, however the Ministry of Defence declined to confirm this. The Citadel will be closed to the public for the next six months to allow the changes to be made. In that time it is expected that Knight Commander Hugo Lascelles will relocate to the old Missionary College which used to train members of The Order for preaching overseas and is today a civil service building. |
