New Prime Minister for Aerlig

Adelwin, Aerlig- After former Prime Minister Lachlan Powers' term of more than one and a half years, it took just nineteen days for the fourth Prime Minister of the Republic, Mr Kevin Dobson, to be dismissed as head of the government.

Mr Dobson was dismissed from the Office of the Prime Minister by Protector Lachlan Powers this week, after the Protector called for a new vote of confidence due to the Prime Ministers inactivity. Mr Dobson, who has claimed the post from Mr Powers just weeks before in a 3-2 vote of parliament, was replaced with the unanimous election of newcomer Zachery Klass as the nations Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Klass was quick to move the government into gear, appointing his cabinet of ministers in just a few days. Former Prime Minister Powers, the Leader of the Opposition, was awarded with the Deputy Prime Ministership, while National Party Member Jouker Sendler was granted the Internal Affairs Portfolio. New MP Thoenen Helios has taken up the position as Aerlig's Minister of External Affairs.

The Protector announced later in the week that a by-election may soon be held to fill the vacancy left in Parliament by inactive member Dobson.

Aerlig swears in new Protector

Adelwin, Aerlig- The coronation of the fifth Aerlig Protector took place last week, with the swearing in of former Prime Minister Lachlan Powers as the nations head of state.

Crowds lined the streets of the nations new capital, Adelwin, to cheer the hometown citizen, who will be the first person from the capital city to serve in the nations top job. The ceremony saw a procession up the cities main street, Republic Drive, terminating at the top of the hill with the Oath of Office at Statesman House, the Aerlig National Parliament. Prime Minister Zachery Klass congratulated the new leader, wishing him the best of luck.

Mr Powers fills the position which has been largely vacant over the past four to five months, and is one of just two remaining original citizens of the Republic. Protector Powers immediately issued a statement drawing the Central Court under the power of the Protector, as is allowed under the constitution.

Aerlig Elections Return an Upset

Adelwin, Aerlig - The Republic of Aerlig recently completed its ninth set of elections, with an upset win to the newly formed Liberal Republican Party.

The Liberal Republicans won two of the five seats in the National Parliament, and are now leading a minority government under the leadership of party leader Kevin, who has been yet to show up to accept the position. In the meantime, Deputy Prime Minister Zachary Klass has been leading the nation's affairs.

The win was an upset for the incumbent Prime Minister, Lachlan Powers, who had held the top position in government since the Republic's third Parliament back in 2001. Mr Powers, currently serving as Leader of the Opposition, has not given up on the nation, however, and is expected to be inducted this week as the Head of State, the Protector of the Republic.
