GMG and kusari

[ProwlerPC]

I knew I had some somewhere. Yeah one of my GMs read a few new things in Kusari and brought it to my attention.

[08/01/2012 3:42:45 PM] Vince: NEW TOKYO -- 819 A.S. -- Emperor Jien Kogen and Shogun Sulu have appeared on media channels for the first time since their disappearance in Newcastle, and since the overthrow of the previous Kusari government. In a written statement, Emperor Kogen declared that the Imperial Monarchy was still the highest authority in Kusari. The Emperor appealed to the Kusari people to reject the impending referendum and "retain the honour and dignity of Kusari for Her children and all Her descendants, in perpetuity. In response, the new Kusari Government declared the Emperor and Shogun to be formally exiled. Should they return they are expected to face charges of gross misconduct, and dereliction of duty over the loss of Kusari lives during the conflict with Gallia.

KYUSHU -- 819 A.S. -- In a watershed moment for the Kusari nation, the people have spoken. A majority of votes across Kusari have fallen in favour of removing reference to the Imperial Majesty from public life. The new Prime Minister Kato Takahashi had this to say: "This is a defining moment for our nation. The Democratic Party of Kusari has made its case to the people, and the people have declared their support for this historic reform". Voting was least favourable in the conservative heartland of Kyushu, where government and media offices have come under attack by angry mobs. At least 200 people have been killed in the violence so far, with representatives of the Farmer's Alliance vowing to keep an honour guard of security ships in space "Until our Beloved Emperor returns to claim what is rightfully His".

HONSHU -- 818 A.S. -- Fresh elections instituted by the interim military government have seen a massive upset in most electorates. News from the poll rooms across Kusari indicate a majority seats being held by the Democratic Party of Kusari, 60% by the final tally. The Conservative Party is expected to take up most of the remaining seats, along with a few independants. Exit surveys indicated a strong voter resentment for the previous government's failure to avoid conflict with Gallia, as well as concerns over corruption in the ranks of former government officials. The interim government is expected to formally hand power to the DPK, led by Kato Takahashi and former general Shimura Yokitara. Mr Takahashi has vowed to hold a referendum on the status of the Imperial Majesty "as soon as is practical, to end the question of Kogen's return and enshrine in law the mandate for reform granted to us by the Kusari people".

FREEPORT 6 -- 819 A.S. -- The new Kusari Government has reached an armistice with the Kingdom of Gallia, with representatives from both Houses formally signing an agreement onboard the neutral station of Freeport 6, in the Tau-29 system. The agreement ends hostilities between Kusari and Gallia, and establishes Tau-29 as a buffer zone between the two nations. Kusari has renounced all claims in the Tau sector, and in return Gallia has extended its hospitality in the form of trade rights to Kusari corporations. In further news, the new Kusari Government has begun the first steps in renormalising relations with Bretonia, declaring the war against Bretonia to be ended.
