DISCLAIMER: PRINCE PHILLIP OF HELLAS AND BRITAIN IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH PHILLIP I, PRÍNKIPAS OF CIMBRUN. PHILLIP I IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURS WHERE THIS CHANGES SIGNIFICANTLY, WE WILL INFORM YOU EITHER THROUGH THIS OR THE CIMBRUNESE DISCORD.
Prince Phillip of Hellas and Britain, known as Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh to non-Cimbrunese people, has passed away at age 99. Born into the royal family of Hellas, he and his family fled the country when he was only 18 months old due to a rebellion.
He first met his future wife, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, in 1934 and they started correspondence in 1939, the two were married in 1947 - he gained the title Duke of Edinburgh this way. The two had four children, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, Anne, Princess Royal, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
An enthusiast of sporting events, Prince Phillip helped develop modern-day carriage driving. He was a patron, sponsor, or president of over 780 organizations, and served as the chairman of his own award, which serves as a self-improvement program for people ages 14-24.
He passed away peacefully today, and the Basileus made an announcement:
"Peace be to thy gentle shade and endless rest, O Prince Phillip of the Britons. You were the husband of the longest-reigning monarch on Earth, something no micronationalist could EVER hope to achieve in their time. You were a true Hellenic prince, overthrown by heathens in your own land. The royal life, however, did not stop there, as you were married to Queen Elizabeth II of the Britons. You would have numerous children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who the Gods look down upon and smile knowing they share the blood of the last Hellenic king."
Opinion Piece: The Return of Tizian - Good or Bad? by the Basileus
Tizian is soon to be discharged from the mental hospital, and with that, the question rings throughout the scene: "What does Tizian's return mean?"
I think it means our good friend Desslok has someone new to teach, to help improve. Tizian may have done some bad things, but I think the punishment - hospitalization - was FAR too much. He's only 14, and from my experiences and the Prínkipas' experiences in those places, he could've been traumatized.
I say give him a chance, don't decide whether a man is good or bad based off of his past alone. I used to be horrible, but guess what? I'm at least semi-professional now, and every day, I improve.
I do not approve of any conflict or war, but I say give Tizian a chance.
First draft of Cimbrunese Constitution written
The first draft of the Cimbrunese Constitution, a charter for the Basileus and the people alike that determines the basic functions of the nations and the basic rights given to the people. It will be unveiled on April 11th (tomorrow) at noon. The Basileus plans to make compromises with both sides of the political spectrum and numerous religious officials throughout micronationalism to ensure that the Basileus retains most of his power while still being fair to the people, upon which a second draft based off of the first shall be made. April 11th is to be celebrated as Constitution Day every year as well.
