Jethnea's First Coup!
On the 6th of September, Pope Lexus X returned to Jethnea after a 6 week holiday. After finding the region no better than when he left, Lexus proceeded to remove the Triumvirate from their positions as the rulers of the region, and declared himself as King of the region, and Earthly Heaven as Queen.
Whereas the Triumvirate wanted to recruit until the region was ready to begin anew, the Monarchs have already re-opened the JRA, and the King announced his intention to recruit on his own stating, "Because Immigration is the worst job, and anyone who is forced to do it will certainly become inactive, I am going to take on the duty".
So far the Monarchs have ruled successfully, bringing activity to the region once more through the promise of a new beginning, and giving everyone the ability to partake in it.

The Regional Assembly is Back!
In their second Decree, the Monarchs announced the re-opening of the Jethnean Regional Assembly as the legislative body of Jethnea once more. JRA membership quickly rose from 4 to 11 during the last week, with more expected to join.
Already the JRA has been busy discussing the question of a new constitution, and the role of the cabinet in the region. It is expected that the discussion of the cabinet will end soon, with elections soon to follow, so if you do wish to run for a position, make sure you watch the Election forum in the coming days!
The best Assembly photo I could find. Cute, huh?
New Communications Ministry!
Already the reformations have hit the communications ministry! The King recently announced that he would be changing the way Jethnean's used their media services, and we are currently mid-way through these changes.
During the week, the King began giving ordinary Jethnean's the chance to create their own newspapers, allowing them the chance to, "Conduct interviews, write editorials on what you think is important, post stories you've written, hire reporters to report on both internal and foreign affairs, or you can do them all!"
Already there are four registered newspapers: The Jethnean Journal (official region newspaper), Henninganische Volkszeitung (Henninganian People's Paper), Green Weekly (Bolcheva's bi-monthly paper), and The Danavian Observer (The official newspaper of East Danavia).
We wish all of these new papers the best of luck in writing their publications, and hope to see some of their articles published in the regional reports.
Because the "Journalism for Dummies" photo was too small..
Fin: This issue of the Jethnean Journal was brought to you by HM Pope Lexus X, and HM Earthly Heaven, the King and Queen of Jethnea.
