Princes, in my first speech as Vanderveeren Regent I said to you I would repatriate our lands to us, as we are their rightful owners.
I report that this endeavour has not been successful as of yet, as the MCS has vetoed our lands being passed to Nova England. If this were to happen, we would automatically become independent again, but alas it has not.
However, I have made it known to the relevant persons our wishes to have Vanderveer passed to Nova England as part of the land gift on the understanding that we would assume control as soon as it was given.
In my effort to restore our lands I have written and had ratified a treaty with Nova England to do the same, and I have been in talks with both Nova English and Riponian officials and addressed both legislatures regarding the issue.
I have also petitioned His Royal Majesty King Jeremy the Third of New Brittannia to make it known to the MCS that the personal union between us and them is over. He has, up to now, not signed this treaty and is currently unable to for another couple of days.
However slow the process seems to be, rest assured that I am working tirelessly to regain our great lands and be assured that if, after a couple of days after His Majesty's return, it becomes apparent that we are not to be returned to our home land that we shall make a new claim on another area of the Micras. Having checked our likelihood of success on their calculators and seeing that we appear to be eligible I have every confidence that come the near future we will have our lands.
Hail to Vanderveer!
(Note, this post is purely to keep a single document of my actions thus far - even if it's just to keep our new members up to date on the proceedings. The Town Cryer is useful but will end up very cluttered)
