29/11/1473 Election of Westmorland's council : KWS have obtained the absolute majority of the seats.LONDON (AAP) The list Keep Westmorland Strong have taken the lead in the Westmorland county council election race, and have gained an absolute majority of the seats. They can govern alone.
![]() Kingdoms Associated Press - London, England A renewed effort to censure Queen Quinn has begun in the House of Parliament, marking the second attempt during her reign to formally reprimand the monarch for alleged failures in governance. Documented Concerns About the Monarch’s Conduct Members of Parliament have repeatedly raised concerns regarding the Queen’s performance of duties. Parliamentarians have noted that Her Majesty frequently disappears for days at a time without issuing decrees, attending sessions, or being seen in her chambers. She has recently shown a sudden interest in national law, exemplified by her veto of a bill that had just passed Parliament, despite rarely engaging previously, except to object or criticise individuals. Questions also remain unanswered regarding an earlier promise of financial assistance for individuals relocating to Devon. As of this publication, no confirmation has been provided as to whether those payments were fulfilled. Background: September–October Censure Attempt The first motion to censure the Queen was introduced in September and continued into mid-October. MPs cited a series of concerns, including:
The vote closed with 21 Ayes, 14 Nays, and 3 Abstentions—short of the three-quarters majority required for passage. Renewed November Motion Led by Speaker Jesijajo On 21 November, Speaker Jesijajo opened a second discussion to censure the monarch. She again cited concerns regarding the Queen’s ongoing absences: "The Queen continues to be absent and failing to perform the duties of the Monarch for lengthy periods… generally seen once a week on Sundays for an hour or so… important decisions of state are not made, projects begun remain uncompleted, and we still do not know whether England is neutral or allied with O.N.E." When asked for additional detail, the Speaker reaffirmed the same list of concerns from the September motion. Queen Quinn Addresses Parliament On 22 November, shortly after the renewed discussion began, Queen Quinn appeared before Parliament and delivered her first extended remarks in several weeks. Her statement outlined goals such as protecting civil liberties, encouraging county-level leadership, and completing the Prestige Agreement. She warned that England’s long-term stability may depend on decisions made in the near future. The Queen also addressed England’s foreign-policy uncertainties, including war-related commitments. Later in her address, the Queen expressed concern over what she described as negativity and interference with royal documents, suggesting such behaviour contributed to declining morale. Response From Mercian Member of Parliament Vivienne MP Vivienne delivered a pointed rebuttal, disputing the Queen’s explanations. She argued that the challenges facing the realm stem not from public unkindness but from unfulfilled promises regarding transparency and communication. Her remarks underscored the widening divide within the chamber. What Comes Next The House of Parliament continues debate on the renewed censure motion. Whether this second attempt gains the necessary support—or ends similarly to the first—will determine how the remainder of Queen Quinn’s reign unfolds.

The arrival of more than thirty individuals identifying as members of the B.R.C.K. collective has placed Devon at the centre of discussions about immigration, royal authority, and county governance. Entry and Authorisation Eyewitnesses indicate that Princess Llyres, who also served as Admiral of Devon at the time, authorised the group’s docking without standard entry documentation. After their arrival, B.R.C.K.’s leader, Xannibal, announced plans to run in Barnstaple’s upcoming mayoral election, a decision viewed by some as ambitious in a town with relatively few residents before the clan's arrival. Admiral Llyres recently resigned from her positions,relinquished her lands, and withdrew from public life. Within weeks, she was reportedly sighted aboard a ship near Languedoc, prompting questions about her sudden departure and current affiliations. Royal Incentives and Local Reaction Count Brody of Devon questioned reports that the Crown offered financial incentives to B.R.C.K. settlers. Correspondence between Xannibal and local officials references a royal offer of 750 gold per member upon confirmation of settlement. In a letter dated 15 September 1473, Xannibal wrote: “As per Queen announcement, our guys was promised support package once we prove ourselves consisting [of] 750 gold each member, so it can support 3/4 of crop settlements and 1/2 of farm settlements… and also for the 100 gold to take professions.” He added that the group had already invested between 1,100 and 1,380 gold per person, establishing farms and professions, describing the royal sum as “a partial reimbursement.” Several in the House of Parliament have expressed concern that such offers may have been made without consultation from Devon authorities, raising questions about financial oversight and county autonomy. Connections and Allegiances Public records link B.R.C.K. to the organisation known as O.N.E., which has participated in several international conflicts, including the recent campaign in Valencia. Xannibal maintains that B.R.C.K. is focused on “trade and production,” denying any military intent. “We have no reasons to hide or wage war,” Xannibal stated. “We plan to run for mayor to make Barnstaple the best city in all the islands.” The group’s rapid organisation and political engagement, however, have continued to draw scrutiny from both residents and external observers. The Revolt and Legal Questions Tensions escalated following Xannibal’s election as mayor, when a revoltwas reported in Barnstaple. Xannibal personally filed charges against the alleged instigator, Hellstorm, and pursued the matter to trial. According to the former public prosecutor of Devon, Michael Blackwood, mayors hold limited judicial powers. Mayors are typically confined to local ordinances rather than charges of rebellion. Despite this debate, the proceedings went forward. Questions have been raised regarding jurisdiction and due process in this matter. Xannibal later commented that he found the imposed punishment inadequate. Discovery of a Mutual Defence Pact Documents obtained in recent weeks reveal a Mutual Defence Treaty between Ordo Negrum Equites (O.N.E.) and the Carthage Sacred Band, another name for B.R.C.K. The treaty outlines cooperation in trade, logistics, and military support. Among its provisions are:
Article 11 further stipulates that both parties will defend each other “politically, logistically, and militarily” if attacked. Economic and Political Impact Xannibal has cited more than 40,000 gold in investments made by B.R.C.K. members in Devon’s agricultural and commercial sectors. Supporters argue that the group has revitalised trade and settlement. Critics argue that its structure and foreign connections warrant closer scrutiny. An Unresolved Situation B.R.C.K. continues to operate in Barnstaple, and several of its members hold local positions. Admiral Llyres’ current status remains unconfirmed, though sightings persist near continental ports. The Devon Council has not yet issued a formal statement, and the Royal Court has not commented on the payments or the treaty. As events unfold, questions remain for both local and national leadership: Is Barnstaple’s transformation the result of a promising new settlement, or a quiet shift in England’s political balance?
