Alexandrian news thread

[Edgard]

I'll be using this thread to post links to all the latest Alexandrian news articles and events.

Hopefully this will motivate other MNCommunity nations to start their own threads as well.

- On a day like today in 2002, an awkward high schooler in Grand Rapids, MI founded the Kingdom of the Union of Madland from his parent's basement. 13 years later, you now have the Empire of the Alexandrians. Over in Alexandria we are celebrating our 13th birthday today - any and all Natopians are welcome to join us for celebrations.
- Foundation Day Parade in downtown Geneva.
- His Imperial Majesty has issued this year's Foundation Day Honors and Birthday Honors combined (elections were happening during the Emperor's birthday, and opted to wait until after elections). In these honors, the Emperor of the Natopians and the Chancellor of Natopia have both been honored. Congrats!

Politics and Government
- The Union for the Democratic Movement and the Liberal Alliance have reached a landmark coalition agreement to form the next Government in Alexandria. First Consul Sebastian Goddestreu will remain as First Consul and President of the Government, with Ms. Juana Beazcoetxea as Vice-President of the Government and the Foreign Affairs/Defense portfolios.
- The Imperial Assembly has opened for its fourth session under the Alexandrian [May] Constitution of 2014.
