To say a new era has dawned on Gaduridos is nothing short of an understatement. The coronation of Víctor de Valcorico, the first King of Gaduridos, has formally occured. With citizens from all across the country invited to Ciudad de Gadur and foreign dignitaries, to say that the event was met with widespread public support would equally be an understatement. Cheers and jubilation defined the coronation, however foreign dignitaries were also present. For starters, the Khan of Bianjie, Nilhuma and the Gungju Tempin, as the relationship between Gaduridos and Bianjie has been warming up since trade relations were established. Alongside Bianjie, Hutori, in which while formal trade relations are sparse or even non existent, Hutori is also a liberal democracy, a fellow kingdom no less, and as such, the Hutorian foreign minister, Henry Kincaid was present, alongside His Highness, Prince Christopher, as well as the Grand Duke of Kenai, on behalf of the Hutorian King. Egelion, also a monarchy with relative democratic customs attended the coronation, His Majesty, Emperor Leon Alexander, Her Majesty, Empress Isabella, Her Highness, Princess Gabriela, and Her Excellency, Royal Councilor Andrea Mondragon y Astures. But of course, that's not all, as Valruzia also sent a representative to the coronation. President of Valruzia, Kaja Kosub and Chancellor Zenon Golas. This is certainly welcomed as Valruzia is also a liberal democracy in Seleya. Luthori, also sent representatives to the coronation, sending His Imperial Majesty, Emperor William XI, Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Victoria Mary, Her Imperial Highness, Elizabeth, Duchess of Armstead. Alongside them, His Excellency, The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Robert Cain and Her Excellency, the Under-Secretary of State for Seleyan Affairs, Carolina Scott. And finally, perhaps the most controversial of all foreign dignitaries, Kalistan.
While many expected Kalistan to boycott the event, given the rather poor relationship between Kalistan and Gaduridos, mostly stemming from the Anantonese Divorce and of course, the issue of Bentasur, the appearance of Kalistan in the coronation has been received mixly, but the state has tried to keep it warm and cordial. As such, Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Carolina II Ananto, Lady Marisol Paz Alvarez-Navarro, Her Imperial Majesty's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sir Thomas Harney, and Her Imperial Majesty's Minister for Trade and Industry, Jamar Rogers. Perhaps, and just perhaps, the fact that Kalistan attended the coronation in good faith shows that diplomacy between the two states can be normalized?
Whatever the case, His Majesty, Víctor de Valcorico was formally crowned as King of Gaduridos, has in his coronation speech, called for unity of all peoples of Gaduridos, and called for "Gaduridos to bravely take a step forward into a new era, and leave past grievances behind in favour of a brighter future". An idealistic speech, warmly received by the country. While republicans remained silent, not wanting to really criticize a fairly popular (albeit young) King, the nationalists have expressed worry over the seemingly cosmopolitan speech.
Given the significance of today, Congress quickly passed a bill formally creating a new holiday. Kings Day, which will always be in May 8th every year. Whatever the case, a new era for Gaduridos has come. To all the countries that attended, even Kalistan, they have the deepest thanks of the Valcorico House, and of the King. Long live the King!
