Today I come before you to announce that I am in fact, still alive, despite an incident on the surface of JiangXi.
Now, to give recognition to a man who has acted for a long while, doing the best that he could for the Revolutionary Army and the People of The Coalition, I refer of course to Erik Meier, a devoted patriot and member of the Revolutionary Army's High Command.
This new year brings change to our governmental structure as well. In honor of Tovarisch Meier's contributions to our nation and people, I am appointing him to the position of Vice Premier.
I will retain direct control over our Glorious Revolutionary Army, while Vice Premier Meier will take position as head of the State Duma, and act in my stead regarding Internal and External diplomacy should I be unable to tend to such affairs.
Our government is meant to serve and act in the best interests of The People, and it is my great honor to bring such reforms in the name of strengthening our Great Nation. We will show the leaders of Sirius that Our resolve is everlasting, and that our way, is the way forward.
For the Glory of The Coalition, For The Red Dawn, Premier Katya G. Vaschenko, Signing Off.
