    _Lord Sander Koff, the Baron Koff <span class="text-sm">SKBT GCLa MP</span>{" "}
    in 2021._
  </p>
</div>

The Rt. Hon. Lord Sander Koff <span class="text-sm">SKBT GCLa MP</span> was elected as Prime Minister today by the House of Commons, after the passage of a motion on his self-nomination. The vote results were as follows:

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>In favor</th>
    <th>In opposition</th>
    <th>Abstentions</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>0</td>
    <td>2</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Lord Sander Koff is expected to take charge today, with His Majesty the King also expected to dissolve the provisional absolute government.

## Who is Sander Koff?

Lord Sander Koff (better known as Sander II) is the King of Revalia, an ally of Novus Hierosolymis. He was also its Prime Minister and Regent until he assumed the Revalian throne. He served as Prime Minister in many nations, including the Republic of Aswington, also an ally of the Kingdom, and as Vice Chancellor under HM the King in the Empire of Oskonia, a former ally. In addition, he formerly served as the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Councillors of Vishwamitra.

We reached out to HM the King for comment on the election, and this is what he had to say:

> I congratulate Lord Koff on his election. I believe that he will set a good example for all his successors to follow. He will be a great Prime Minister.

    _The statement made by Lord Dhrubajyoti Roy announcing the King's abdication
    and the formation of a junta government._
  </p>
</div>

April 1 is Fools' Day, and Novohierosolymians weren't spared from the day's wrath. At 10:35AM local time (UTC+8), Lord Dhrubajyoti Roy, Marquess of Lalraja announced the abdication of His Majesty the King, Jayden the First. He also announced the formation of a junta government called the "State Council", led by him and his deputies, the Duke of Christophus and the Duchess of Bernardus, Lord Paolo vangelista and Lady Dana Abgelina respectively.

The statement read as follows:

> Dear friends,
> As you all may know that this is not sudden and was being planned for a long time. In a late night deliberation with HM Jayden I and other officers of the State, it has been decided that he shall abdicate and that in order to replace him in the affairs of the state, a junta government shall be established.
> With immediate effect, the powers of the King and Queen shall be removed and they shall be an ordinary citizens of the state. The junta government shall be administered under my leadership as Senior Chairman of the State Council and be assisted by my junior officers including the Duke of Christophus and the Duchess of Bernardus who shall be the Deputy Chair of the State Council.
> The State Council further approves the renaming of the nation to "Most Glorious State of Novus Hierosolymis" and that the abdicated King be a prisoner for his abuse of power during his reign. The State Council has also implemented a ban on public speech, human rights and other fundamental rights and violation of the ban could lead to serious punishment and problems. All are asked to be **loyal** to the Council and its members.
> Further updates will be provided soon.
> Long Live Novus Hierosolymis!
> _Issued for public interest_

This announcement was met with laughs, because it was quite obvious that it was an April Fools' prank set up by HM the King and Lord Dhrubajyoti Roy.

_Note: We are running this article as it concerns an ally of Novus Hierosolymis, the Empire of Lurdentania. This article isn't partial in any way, shape or form._

The campaign for President of the Micronational Community of Australia (MCA) has begun, with 3 candidates running to become the successor of Zechariah O'Hair, one of the founders of the organization. Who are they, what are their platforms, and what should we take note of? We give you our impartial analysis on the candidates and what they are running on.

## David Brooke

David Brooke focuses on a community-driven approach to running the MCA: he wants an “equal” community wherein power is shared, not delegated. Main points of his campaign include committees for membership and safety enforcement, monthly changes in the cabinet, and reaching out via Australian regions, among many others. A point of concern is the candidate riding on a community-driven campaign when he himself left the MCA in December of 2021 due to many controversies that surrounded him.

## Rory McPhail

Rory McPhail presents himself with his wealth of experience. He is focusing on stringent reforms to the Cabinet and services, increasing member participation within the community through cleanups and community nights, increasing membership via territorial membership and a foray into social media such as Twitter and Instagram, and reviving projects such as the monthly newsletter. McPhail served in many positions in the MCA, most notably as Minister of General Affairs and Membership.

## Kevin Doan

Kevin Doan presents himself as a choice against the old rhetoric allegedly shown by Brooke and McPhail: he is focusing on transparent leadership in his run for President by making actions open to the public. At this time Doan has not presented any other public platforms.

## Overall analysis

The elections for President of the MCA may prove to be one of the most contentious yet. It is a do-or-die election for them: will they be able to elect a leader who will continue the good work the organization has done for the Australian micronational community? Or will they elect a leader who will drag it down? We have yet to find that out.

ANALYSIS: Who are the candidates running for President of the Micronational Community of Australia


## 2022 Constitution ratified, coinciding with National Day celebrations

The 2022 Constitution was ratified on 23 February 2022, a month after the Constitutional Committee was convened to assist His Majesty the King in the process of writing the document. This re-introduces the following:

1. Westminster system of government
2. Council of Ministers

It also introduces the position of **Prime Minister**, which was a proposed idea in the early days of the Kingdom, but was scrapped due to the victory of the now-defunct Loyalist Party led by HM the King.

Also celebrated on that day was National Day, commemorating the secession of the Kingdom from the Republic of the Philippines and the establishment of the monarchy, including the beginning of the reign of the current King.

The King gave a speech that day, speaking on the evolution of the Kingdom and the progress it has made since its establishment. He received greetings from the Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra, Dhrubajyoti Roy, who thanked HM the King for letting him become a part of the drafting of the Constitution.

## King's Day celebrated throughout the Kingdom

The birthday of His Majesty the King, known as King's Day, was celebrated with much joy. The Royal Family celebrated with a large feast at the Royal Palace, while those who are close associates of the King greeted him, notably the Marquess of Lalraja, Lord Liam Alexander, and members of the Cupertino Alliance.

An honors list was released that day, with numerous awards awarded, including the exclusive Order of the Belt of Truth, the Order of the Four Provinces, and honorifics, among others.

The title of "Baron Alexander of Simcuron" was also created for Sir Liam Alexander <span class="text-sm">KBT</span>, for his services in the Constitutional Committee.

## 2nd Parliament to be formed

After 2 weeks of nominations, which came after the declaration of a general election pursuant to Article IV, Section 5 of the Constitution, the following were elected unopposed to the House of Commons:

1. Mr Chandrachur Basu (Montem North)
2. Sir Matthew Tonna <span class="text-sm">KBT</span> (Christophus)
3. Lord Sander Koff <span class="text-sm">SKBT GCLa</span> (Ars)
4. Lord Dhrubajyoti Roy <span class="text-sm">SKBT GCoLa GCSa</span> (Bernardus North)

They are to convene as the 2nd Parliament on 2 April 2022. They will take their oaths on the said date and elect the first Prime Minister in the days after.

An update on the Kingdom: what happened in the last 2 months


_We remind readers that Jayden I, author of this article, is part of the MicroWiki for Justice movement, and was vocally against Sophia Albina after the release of the accusations. In addition, some parts may have been edited at the request of those involved, however those are limited to corrections._

Sophia Albina, Premier of Nordale and a leader of the MicroWiki for Justice movement was disgraced after strong and scathing accusations were released by former close associate and friend Brooklyn Kennedy, Prime Minister of the New Richmond Republic.

In her scathing remarks posted both in the Grand Unified Micronational and the MicroWiki for Justice server, Kennedy stated that Albina tried to frame her as a creator of a "wildly inappropriate, foul photoshop of a family member of an extremely prominent veteran community member" to the MicroWiki administration, and when she confronted Albina about this, she went on a very incomprehensible rant accusing Kennedy of being a pawn for the MicroWiki administration and implied that she was a pedophile. Albina later admitted to fabricating the falsehood due to a resent of the perceived "special treatment" that Kennedy received from the MicroWiki administration, even though she knew that Kennedy herself was banned from the wiki due to a certain distasteful incident, and acted like it was not there to suit her narrative. Kennedy then affirmed her commitment to the cause of the MicroWiki for Justice movement, but said that she "washes off" Albina and wishes to not be associated with her any longer.

In the MicroWiki for Justice server, Albina accused Kennedy of being a liar and manipulator, and hurled many transphobic and fatphobic slurs while Kennedy restated her position numerous times. After some time, Albina was removed from her position as an administrator of the MicroWiki for Justice server by Leon Montan, and he apologized for the events, adding Hunt Powell and Logan Ross to the administration team.

As we have said before, CNC News will continue giving updates on the MicroWiki safeguarding controversy as soon as we have them.

Sophia Albina disgraced from the MicroWiki for Justice movement after scathing accusations


_Note: Jayden I is involved in the condemnation: he is a signatory of the joint statement and is a member of the "MicroWiki for Justice" movement._

Over the past few days the MicroWiki sector has been rocked by controversy over the unbanning of disgraced micronationalist Zarel "Zed" Smith, former Prince of New Eiffel. On 29 January 2022, Andrew Creed, head administrator of the MicroWiki website, announced the unbanning with this statement:

> User has served his time. Absolutely do not harass this user upon their return to the wiki. Doing so will lead to an immediate ban on the wiki and Discord server.

MicroWiki users were outraged at this decision from the administration, and wrote a joint memorandum condemning this action. As of writing it has amassed over 95 signatures.

The administration has continually tried to silence members who shared their dismay at the action, with Creed repeatedly ordering MicroWiki@Discord members to cease their discussion on this certain action, and even banning individuals who kept expressing their disgust. Due to these actions, the de facto leaders of the MicroWiki for Justice movement, namely Leon Montan (President of Ponderosa Hills), Sophia Albina (Premier of Nordale), Elizabeth Lewis (Leader of Shoreline), and Cameron Koehler (King of Ikonia and member of the Novohierosolymian Constitutional Committee) created their own Discord server to increase signatories and to make it the replacement for MicroWiki@Discord.

Koehler then proceeded to use backdoors left open via a bot he created when he was a server administrator to ban all persons he could, with 1,996 users removed from the server and leaving only around 40 or so people with Discord roles that were too high to ban. This caused his indefinite ban from MicroWiki and members of the Grand Unified Micronational losing confidence in him as their Supreme Justice.

The controversy has also spilled into famed statistics company Statistic-Dime founded by the same Zarel Smith, where Creed and Christina Nowell resigned from their posts as members of the Board of Directors, with Liam Alexander, CEO of Statistic-Dime having both "great shame to see these two tender their resignations" and satisfaction "in a sense they will not be here to disturb the peace anymore". This resulted in the addition of Jayden I as Director.

As of writing, we at the CNC do not know when this controversy will die down, but we know that this is an unprecedented moment in the history of the MicroWiki sector and is a consequential event. We will continue giving readers of CNC News updates as soon as we have them.

  <p>_The two candidates for Chair: Snyder and Valentinus._</p>
</div>

_Jayden I is involved in this election: he is part of the Snyder-Murray campaign team._

UPDATE: Final data from CESE awards 19 votes for Snyder-Murray and 7 votes for Valentinus-Neal.

CNC News projects that Carson Snyder and James Murray will be the next Chair and Lieutenant Chair of the Cupertino Alliance, after the 1:30AM EST update from the Cupertino Electoral Supervisory Commission or CESE gave 17 votes to Snyder-Murray and a mere 6 votes for Valentinus-Neal.
This comes after a very quiet campaign season, which is mostly due to the last 2 campaign seasons, which were smeared by constant uncivil discussions among members of the Alliance.

This is also the first election under the 2021 Charter, which was passed in December.

Snyder ran on a platform focusing on development: some promises their campaign made include an emphasis on development, adoptable and adaptable legislation, and expanding outreach.

Valentinus ran on an "open and accessible" platform: flipping the status quo on its head and moving back to the 2020 era-Alliance with a plan of reviving the long-dead Windhoek program, as well as focusing on essential services rather than non-sensical and unneeded ones, such as the Statistics Ministry.

A pre-election poll from Statistic-Dime showed that 70% were in support of Snyder, while a measly 30% supported Valentinus.

Snyder and Murray will take office at the end of this month, the final day of Tyler Mullins and Larry Martin's term.

- An executive, rather than an absolute monarchy

A list of members of the Constitutional Committee was released yesterday, after a week of anonymous appointments. The members of the Committee are:

The committee is expected to finish the Constitution by 23 Febuary, the 1-year anniversary of the Kingdom's foundation and the ascension of Jayden I to the Novohierosolymian throne.

A new constitution in the works


During the Atieran-Galtean-Oskonian political crisis that shook all nations involved in it to the core, a complaint filed by Liam Alexander to the Superior Court of the Cupertino Alliance resulted in Lord Gladden being found as below 13 years of age, which resulted in suspension from the CA. Subsequently, he released a statement to the public apologizing for what he did and in doing so, resigned from all micronational offices, including that of Lord-President of the Privy Council, a position created specifically for Lord Gladden by King Jayden I. Lord Gladden was then succeeded by His Grace Lord Paolo Evangelista, the Duke of Christophus. The King is expected, however, to mandate Lord Evangelista's resignation by 5 December, which is when Lord Gladden reaches the age of 13, and is when he is expected to return to the inter-micronational community.

Momentarily, after his suspension from the Cupertino Alliance, Liam Alexander reported Lord Gladden's account to Discord admins, which resulted in the subsequent disabling of Lord Gladden's account. He (referring to Lord Gladden) then released another statement, announcing his retirement from the inter-micronational community, naming the King (referring to Jayden I), currently Prime Minister in Oskonia, as his successor if he abdicates the throne of Oskonia, which we can say is still in the air, considering that Alexander basically ruined Gladden's micronational career. Lord Gladden has created a new account, but only few people have talked to Gladden via the said account.

It is still possible to see Lord Gladden never returning to micronationalism after what Alexander did to him, and with that, a personal union between Oskonia and Novus Hierosolymis.

UPDATE: We spoke to Lord Gladden and he clarified the possibility of his abdication.

  <p>_The results of the Cupertino Alliance July 14-17 poll._</p>
</div>

The upcoming Cupertino Alliance chairmanship elections, currently contested by Daniel Hamilton, Grand Duke of Australis and Dhrubajyoti Roy, Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra, caused a major strain in relations with the State of Vishwamitra.

<div class="text-center">

    _The treaty of mutual recognition signed on June 22, 2021 by His Majesty the
    Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra, His Excellency the Most Honorable Prime
    Minister Gheorghe Ștefan Marius, and His Majesty the King._
  </p>
</div>

Relations with Vishwamitra were established on June 22, 2021, with the signing of a Treaty of Mutual Recognition, which was after months of diplomatic talks with Dhrubajyoti Roy.

Earlier this year, the April affair caused a temporary halt on diplomatic talks, but was resolved quickly.

In the Cupertino Alliance chairmanship elections, His Majesty the King originally supported the Roy-Mullins campaign. However, on July 14, Lord-President Tucker Gladden, the Marquess of Ridgeland, out of the blue, switched sides and crossed the aisle to join the then Hamilton-Bornstein ticket.

  <p>_The ruling issued by Associate Justice Jayden Lycon._</p>
</div>

The Lord-President accused the Roy-Mullins campaign of harassment and bribery, which then the Superior Court of the Cupertino Alliance investigated, and they found no wrongdoing in the Roy-Mullins campaign, which then prompted an investigation into the connection between the Lord-President and Daniel Hamilton.

<div class="text-center">

</div>

Many arguments then ensued between both campaigns over the weekend. AJ Lycon was disappointed and issued a stern letter regarding the elections (which can be read here).

After this, major changes were made, including a liaison and joint planning between both campaigns.

The King and the Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra then issued a joint statement in regards to the degraded relations (which can be read [here]()]).

Since then, the relations have been amicable once again, and both the King and Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra continue to commit to more stronger relations.
