OK, our first official Foreign Update is out! Yay!
Narrative from the NUK
Rise Like A PhoenixWhile you may have heard of The New United Kingdom, you might not have heard about our sobering origin story. Following the rise of an authoritarian dictator by the name of Lord Carlisle, a multitude of our region's key citizens fled, resulting in the founding of New United Kingdom in its current form. While the old TNUK is no more, NUK is a growing region with a dedicated and dynamic citizenry that's both proud of their history, and excited for the future.
Got That Government ThoThe NUK Parliament is currently in its second term, both of which have seen the Conservative Progressives, the oldest party in the NUK, form a Government with The Rt. Hon. Lucas-Spencer Wessex at its Prime Minister. However, in recent weeks the rival British Royalist Party has been formed out of other smaller parties, and quickly gained prominence, as the first party to provide significant opposition to the CPP in terms of size and influence, and even defeating the governing party in a recent by-election. In its entirety, Parliament consists of Cello Snow-Donald (CPP), Lucas Spencer-Wessex (CPP), Kasimir Devereaux (BRP), Charles Watson-Turing-Donald (CPP), and Connor Williams Devereaux (BRP) in the House of Commons, and Prince Cobi Wessex, Lord John Donald, and Lord George Mountbatten in the House of Lords. That being said, a general election is due at the end of this month, and it's likely to be the most closely contested in NUK's short history.
Beyond Parliament, the King's Bench (or Supreme Court) of the NUK consists of Lady Chief Justice Arynnia I, and the more recently appointed Hon. George Windsor as Senior Associate.
And of course, the Monarchy of the New United Kingdom is headed by our very own HM King Edward X of the House of Windsor-Astoria.
A Truly Marvel-ous Culture SceneThe New United Kingdom is home to a multitude of cultural initiatives, whether they be Government-supported, such as our Avengers Roleplay or impending BritAwards, or citizen-managed, like The Grenadier pub and inn or the wild parties our citizens have developed an affinity for. In addition, multiple media networks provide content to NUK audiences, including the British Broadcasting Corporation and Everyday Productions.
What About The People?The New United Kingdom has a very diverse population, including citizens with years experience to those brand new to NationStates, as well as both those who come from Houses of Nobility and commoners that form their own. Specifically, the NUK has a notable group of citizens from the House of Mountbatten (particularly the Wessex branch), the House of Devereaux, our Royal Family's House of Windsor-Astoria, and even the NUK-original House of Donald.
