The British people would like to renew a previous pact with Solis, the Solis – British Empire Non-Aggression Pact from January 14th 2015.

British Empire – Solis

We, the great people of the  British Empire (BE), agree to live in a state of peace and mutual respect with the great people of  Solis.
With this pact, all parties, individually and collectively, ensure and assure one another that:

1. No member of either crew will, at any time or for any reason, unlawfully attack a member city or member under the protections of this treaty.
2. Trade between the crews will be conducted in a fair and open manner. Each crew will stand responsible for any failure of good faith on the part of its members, and will certify all goods and services promised by its members are delivered as promised.
3. Conditions and limitations of this treaty include but may not be limited as follows: (a) The protections of this treaty are limited to the signatories of this pact, and do not extend to further allies of either party. (b) Neither ally is expected nor required to come to the aid of an ally acting as a willing aggressor. (c) Either party may select to act according to its own laws and policies, but the other is not obligated to join any conflict initiated by the free will of the other party to this agreement.

Let this document serve as a bond between our people for as long as the sun rises above the seas of piratecraft. We agree to the terms of this treaty  and will strive to honor it fully.

Now, after little over a week after the ended election I can finally Present the new cabinet of the British Empire to you all, BE members as well as all other inhabitants of PirateCraft!

Some might already know, others may yet still not be informed that the great election we held last month had three candidate pairs, who fought well to win the race of becoming the Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister, the two main leaders of BE.
I myself believe everyone did their best to show how they themselves would bring new light into The British Empire and guide this crew in the coming six months. I am therefore also honoured to be amond one of the two individuals who won the most votes in the election, making me the new Prime Minister of the empire and Lawzoneon, my second in command, the Vice Prime Minister.

I have in the past week been busy appointing the new upper governemnt and I can finally say I have concluded my search and I will therefore jump straight into presenting these talented individuals, whom in one way or another have shown their abilities and loyalty towards the crew.

So without further ado I would like to present to you..

Gildor_stinky – Home secretary

He will manage many of the major building projects within the empire and also control our finances

CaptainCrackerz – Minister of Defence

He will take command in all PvP related issues with foreign individuals, who pose a direct threat to the BE

BGraph – Minister of Justice

He will take care of all domestic crime, whether it be BE members being aggressive towards other crews, or stolen items from fellow British neightbours, BGraph will make sure justice is served.

Lazydog11 – Minister of Recruitment 

She will once again stand for organising the influx of new members to our great crew and train them properly in the best manner possible of the given circumstances.

Bazurka – Foreign Secretary

He will generously consider proposals from friendly crews to ally the BE and also nurture our long standing relations with our loyal friends.

PaulOnFire – Election Commissioner

Yet another successful election won’t hold back Paul, he will be with us once again in the coming election, give advice in important decisions and help manage the crew any way possible.

This is the cabinet as I have presented it to you, these are the future faces who are to manage the British Empire and make sure it does not cease to exist. We must bring fourth and build on the Foundations we created only three terms back!

Curent lords of the empire is:

Edori_an

Candidates that are up for Lordship or renewal of lordship are:

CrazyPirate1

and

Michty

Votes will be held in the BE Group shortly.

Recently, @GodsDead posted this image:

Some interesting observations:

• The image is rather old, but I doubt anyone would be able to tell exactly how old it is, except maybe @LawVinsmoke.
• To the north-west from spawn we can see the British Railway system, that connects DirectorAnivian‘s base, DakotaReef / Bazurka‘s base, and Province of Canada.
• There are 4 types of claims: red claims, green claims, blue claims, and green claims with black borders. It doesn’t take long to realize that blue claims are administrator‘s, but what do other colors mean?
• As @Crazy Pirate mentioned in the original topic, some of the claims appear to be missing.
• Always wanted to build an island base? Use this map to find a free island!

Thanks to @GodsDead, @Crazy Pirate, and @LawVinsmoke:

• Green claims belong to inactive players (approximately 3 months).
• Green claims with black borders belong to inactive players, but they have some active trustees.
• Blue claims belong to admins.
• Red claims belong to active players.
• The claim data is about a week old, the map itself is a few weeks out of date (some time around January).
