Empress Carolina II Ananto gives tour around new Ananto Manor on sprawling Eveari Estateland

Her Imperial Majesty was pleased this week to declare, in conjunction with Eveari Town officials, declared the town by and large reconstructed from the extensive damage suffered by the major 5705 earthquake which destroyed much of the southern half of the city. Since then, more than K$650 Million Imperial Pesos and more than 30 million man hours have been dedicated to helping the town recover. The Empress' Proclamation celebrated this massive National effort to restore the ancient seat of the Anantan Empire.

"Kalistanis, one and all contributed to the rebirth of our ancient hometown," said the Empress in a public address to a gathered crowd of more than eight thousand who arrived at Imperial Park in the (now) old City that was largely spared damage from the Quake. "Your patience, resilience and never quit attitude is a credit to the people of this town and this nation. We are very proud of you all for never giving up on Eveari, and staying on the job until it was done. You have made your city, our city collectively, a much better place, which better serves its people, and provides jobs, modern housing, and opportunity, in a safe, secure and importantly, environmentally sensitive community. Eveari is, in our opinion, the most precious jewel in our crown."

The Empress declared that May 1st of this year will be a national Day of Celebration to welcome Eveari back to life. "We have ordered all public buildings, schools, banks and businesses closed for this day, and have asked our mayors, barons and Dukes to organize celebrations locally to celebrate with Eveari as it officially relaunches. House Ananto will work with Eveari officials to organize a street fair that will cover 18 square blocks in downtown Eveari. All celebrations, food, and imbibement will be funded by House Ananto so they be provided Gratis to our neighbors and friends here in Eveari. Then that evening, we would like to welcome the entire City onto the grounds of the Ananto Estate to help us properly open our grounds back up to the people of Eveari. There we have the pleasure to welcome Mr. Thomas Jones for a free concert at the newly constructed Public Hall. We will also formally reopen the Museum of the Empire which will feature many of the same exhibits that were in the museum before it was destroyed in the Earth Quake, as well as a new exhibit on the Imperial Gem Collection. All will be welcomed to this free public event."

The announcement of the completion of major reconstruction in Eveari was greatly welcomed by the people of the town, whose lives have been disturbed for more than a decade by constant reconstruction, reconfiguration of streets, road work, and the hustle and bustle of large work crews from outside the region coming into the town and stressing infrastructure and local services that survived the quake. Most people in Eveari are reportedly pleased that there are fewer interruptions to their daily lives now, and the announcement by The Empress was very welcomed by several important segments of the population from top to bottom of Eveari Society.

Her Imperial Majesty attended meeting at Eveari Brethrenist Meetinghouse following the announcement, and has taken residence in the new Ananto-Redwood House, built into the edge of the Eveari Grove of Redwoods. She gave a brief tour of the new home to town leaders and journalists. Her new home, a 6500 square foot modern design, is meant to fit into the landscape rather than standing out from it. The home's designer, Eveari Architect Callie Nottington said "Her Imperial Majesty wanted to have a home that let her forget that she was in a home. We used a lot of glass, a lot of native and unstripped redwood, and environmentally conscious building and insulation techniques that create a home for her that utilizes natural light whenever, saves energy, and costs almost nothing, outside of staffing to maintain. It uses full geothermal heating and cooling, solar, wind and geothermal for the lights, energy efficient low wattage soft LED lighting that changes spectrum throughout the day to help with circadian rhythms to promote healthy and natural sleep, wake and twilight cycles. The home is not only a technological masterpiece and one of the most energy efficient homes ever designed, it is also an architectural beauty from the outside, and reflects elegance, majesty, and comfort for the Royal Family. It is something the people of Kalistan can be proud of."

Her Imperial Majesty reportedly loves it, saying that her new home is cozy, as opposed to the old manor which was very drafty and expensive to heat. She stated that she is likely to hold her residence at the new Ananto-Redwood House more often, saying it will give her and the family an opportunity to get out of Kaliburg more often to a town which is widely considered the traditional home territory of the Ananto Family.
