Peace deal reached between the two factions

A deal has been reached between the Loyalists and the Communists. Queen Madeline offered the former prince Samuel the province of Slender Creek. At 9:45 am, he agreed. The province will, from today onwards, be an entirely separate state, known as The Soviet Union of Mycenae. Samuel will be the leader.

Queen attacks Traitorous brother, Civil War declared

Continuing our story, Queen Madeline has made an attack on the base of communist leader and former prince, Samuel. After gathering supplies, our Beloved Queen made a solo mission into the traitor's room while he went to the kitchen. While he was away she crumbled some crisps into his sheets. She was planning on putting salt into his glass of water when he returned. After some brief, angry words, she threw the salt at his face and declared war on his faction, which now includes Princess Emily. Due to the late hour, the Princess Regent could not be contacted. Although it initially appeared that she would become the Eurypontid Queen, it appears more likely that a more military-minded monarch will be selected. This crisis is likely to bring forward the planned coronation of a new Eurypontid ruler, to help increase stability on the side of the loyalists.

Welcome to New Lacedaemonia's new site!

Hello and welcome to the new site for Spartan news and information. Since the last site crashed us Spartans have been completely without a way of staying informed about the affairs of our nation. This turned out to be quite a problem as many citizens live far away from the capital and soon decided to renounce their citizenships. On of these people has unfortunately been the former King Wilhelm, who has now become a citizen of the Shedlands. As he did not state an heir, Stephanie, Duchess of Wynyard, is now performing his duties as ruler until the Gerousa decide on the rightful successor. it seems likely, though, that Stephanie will become Queen.
