Emperor to visit Mordusia during year of Silver Jubilee, highlighting ties between two nations linked by the Crown.
February 5651 (backdated)



Fort William - The Orange Palace announced that both Emperor Richard and Empress Valeria, in their capacity as head of state of Mordusia, would both tour the nation in commemoration of the King-Emperor's accession to the throne in 5627. As both states will be celebrating the monarch's silver jubilee during this period, the Orange Palace extended an offer to the Mordusian Government for the organisation of a state visit in 5652 - something to which the Government in Randworth was opened towards organising.

Mordusian Prime Minister, Michael Hewson officially extended an invitation to the monarchs - with the Palace's advice, to visit the Commonwealth of Mordusia during the month of March 5652 for a week-long state visit and tour in all of the nation' provinces.

This visit would be the royal couple's third visit in Mordusia after the King's first visit in the nation immediately after his ascension and coronation. The King and Queen's second visit - and first visit as a couple in another country was also in Mordusia, where they met with the former Governor-General, Prince Louis. Today, in a dramatically changed nation, the royal couple will try to foster the ancestral link holding between Luthori and Mordusia and that being through their shared monarchies, their shared history and their shared culture.

As such, the royal couple will mostly focus on reassuring cultural links between the former colony and the home nation, by participating and engaging in numerous cultural events reinforcing Mordusia's national identity and remembering the ties linking the nation with the rest of the Luthorian-speaking world. The King and Queen would assist to a game of Mordusian football (if we can even this monstrosity "football") and meeting with numerous heads of associations and charities supported by the Royal Family. 

After an invitation was extended by the Mordusian Government to the King, as their head of state, to conduct the traditional "Speech from the Throne" in place of the Governor-General (directly appointed by the Crown of Mordusia under advice from the Prime Minister), His Majesty will address the Commonwealth's Parliament in an address written and amended by both the King's secretaries and the Mordusian Government, which will be directed at the underlining Luthori and Mordusia's relationship, their shared participation in the so-called "Imperial Confederation" (the Emperor-King's domains beyond the seas) and expressing the [Mordusian] Government's committment to Mordusia's interests by continuing the policies enacted during the first term of Prime Minister Hewson and communicating the [Mordusian] Goverrnment's overall goals for the future.

In a committment of "turning the page" from the Monarchy's image among indigenous populations in her former empire, the King and Queen have been keen to suggest a meeting between them and leaders of the indigenous populations of Mordusia, the Ikpi, represented in the Commonwealth's parliament through the indigenous Ikpi Rights Party, the Ikpi while forming around 9 % of Mordusia's population have never been acknowledged at length by the Crown-in-Mordusia, with these meetings, the King and Queen wishes, according to Rottingham Palace, "spark a new consensus of dialogue between the Monarchy and the populations throughout the Imperial Confederation".

The Mordusian Government also took great interest at collaborating with the Monarchy's bureaucracy here in Mordusia and set up a series of events meant to celebrate the King's 25th Anniversary of his Accession to the throne. The details of the Silver Jubilee in Mordusia shall be revealed at a later date by the Mordusian Government, but celebrations, dinner parties and maybe a military parade akin to Tropping the Colour (celebrating the Emperor's birthday in Luthori) might be organised. Furthermore, the King and Queen expressed "great interest" at discovering "more of a country that always surprises us [Mordusia]", the King will also visit natural reservations where some of the world's rarest animals are preserved in total respect of their natural environment and without much human intervention in the functionment of their natural habitat.

According to the Orange Palace, the motto of this Jubilee will be "Culturae Diversae, Corona Unitae" (Different cultures, united by the Crown), with an approach made towards enlightening the diversity of the Imperial Confederation in terms of culture, yet also enlightening the fact that the Crown is the thing that unites it all.
