Gainor Makes Claims Public

Author's Note: I'm sorry, but I won't include the accent marks for Gainor. Too much Ctrl-V-ing, sorry.

Gainor (also known as West Virginia, no relation to Ohio) has made it's claims public! This came in it's public discord, which was also made publicly visible. Gainor has been well known so far for it's impressive builds, which have been featured before on this paper, specifically in the Build Showcases of Issues Three and Six. Via their Constitution, the state seems to be a constitutional monarchy, with a King-Head and Parliament.

This is another in a long line of public claims being announced, the greatest of which being a claim of the whole western continent. A great job to JamesMaeC8 and Oracaidum for it! Additionally, a public AN Portal was announced, found on the eastern coast of that continent.

Editor's Note: I don't know why I said 'editor' and not 'author'; this is a one man crew. But in case anyone is curious, the values for the landmass-color on the Mochas map is R191, G189, B174. I had to get it into Microsoft Paint to find out, so here's this in case someone wants to know haha.

Brewyern Constitution

Everyone's favorite hsm nation released their constitution, via a subreddit post. Unlike most constitutions, it doesn't actually include that much about it's government. The first two clauses pertain to outsiders and outside-businesses, and no clause particularly outlines a government agency, although a criminal code was established. However, it can be presumed that no matter the name is, Hikoru and the Brewyerners will continue to be based.

Laurentian Culture Flourishes!

Laurentian citizen OmegaSparks wrote a song, proscribing the wonders of Laurentia. It is copied from the original message here, with a map to the right detailing what he considers the theoretical 'empires of the world'. Note that this map is not sanctioned by any government, including the Laurentian one.

In the heart of the land of North,

Lies a kingdom of Imperial worth,

Laurentia, a realm so grand,

Built by the strength of many hands.

The mountains rise in regal might,

And the rivers flow with silver light,

The forests green, the meadows wide,

The beauty of this land cannot be denied.

In Imperial Laurentia, the people thrive,

With their courage, their wisdom, and their drive,

Their cities stand proud, their walls tall,

Their culture, their art, their music enthral.

From the farms that dot the fertile plains,

To the workshops where craftsmen reign,

From the halls of power where leaders sit,

To the temples where the faithful submit.

Imperial Laurentia, a land of peace,

Where wars are won without a need to cease,

Where justice reigns, and mercy too,

And the people's dreams can all come true.

So let us raise our voices high,

And sing the praises of Laurentia nigh,

For in this land, we find our home,

And together, we shall forever roam.

Meemai Wins Doge Election!

Baron Meemai narrowly scraped by a win, beating out Bstallio with a razor-thin margin of ten votes to nine. The loss was humorously accredited by Bstallio to citizen Asgeir, who responded to his stance on the Doge's role with saying 'L take' and then presumably voted for Meemai. Regardless of the reason, Meemai's electorall victory provided him with the office of Doge for the proceeding six weeks.

When I asked him for a quote regarding his victory, he told me this;

"Winning is bittersweet. I'm honored to have won and am excited for the future, but seeing a dear friend lose is always hard.

I'm grateful to have been chosen as King_Cupar's successor, and it's funny since he was the one who sent me a random message one day in the Reign discord asking if I'd like to join his nation.

I only have six weeks, but in that short time, I hope to elevate this nation, protect our peoples, and turn Laurentia into a bastion of safety and good for all who desire it."

More about his policies can be gained from the Election QnA that was done in the Laurentian Discord. He seems to have a clear tilt towards isolationism, or at least a disinterest in global affairs. Upon being asked about being more aggressive on the global stage he replied, "I don't have a single care for any nation that lives on the western continent outside of Courron." He also desires to produce and spread more steel gear, making it open for citizens, as well as horses.
