Chancellor of the Empire Lady Jennifer Alvarez-Miller meets with Her Imperial Majesty in Valruzia

The Chancellor of the Empire, Lady Jennifer Alvarez-Miller, met with her Imperial Majesty in Valruzia, where they both watched the Kalistani teams compete in the first annual North Seleyan Games. So far, Kalistan has won five Gold Medals in various events, including some of the team sports, and have taken an even 7 each in Silver and Bronze medals. While Kalistan does have the smallest contingent at the games, the Empress was reportedly very excited to discuss how well Kalistan was doing, and to congratulate all the teams and winners on their competetive spirit.

While much of the visit was directed toward observing the games, the Chancellor of the Empire wanted to confirm a number of things with Her Imperial Majesty, including an upcoming visit in Kaliburg by the Egelian Royal family, as well as plans for the Empress to visit the new King George of Baltusia to assure him of Kalistan's support and friendship.

Another odd item discussed during the meeting was the National Assembly's desire to hand a new, though purely symbolic title to Her Imperial Majesty. "In light of Her Imperial Majesty being descendant from the Hulnavek family in Kundrati, and honoring their former importance to that state's government and administration before the country became a fascist hellscape, The National Assembly passed a resolution regarding the title Queen of Kundrati, which currently sits vacant," said Lady Alvarez. "This motion was passed by a majority of Orthodox Deputies with some supporters among the Internationalists, and was in the form of a resolution which began, 'Should Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Mary I Ananto be so inclined to accept it...' Her Imperial Majesty was no inclined to accept it. In fact, she said she did not want to unnecessarily inflame any situations in Artania."

The Chancellor of the Empire noted that the Empress' response was what was expected. "Her Imperial Majesty could indeed claim the title" said Lady Alvarez. "She certainly would have the right and the pedigree to do so. But she wished to demonstrate that it is her intention to instead not do anything that would give the State any more ammunition to use against the normal people in that country. She thanked the National Assembly for their efforts to respect her status, but reminded me that she had long since disavowed all association or connection with Kundrati, and said that she had no intention of ever being counted among or considered a part of that degenerated culture ever again. While the Kundrati people were once generally good, generally forward thinking and generally proud, she told me they have become demoralized, misogynistic, afraid of foreigners, and slaves to a cult of personality. She compared the Kundrati people to the gold medalists of Northern Seleyan nations, unfavorably."

The Chancellor of the Empire spent the evening with the Empress and took in a few sporting competitions across the nation, and then returned to Kalistan to begin preparing for the various state visits still upcoming.
