Two weeks have passed since the British Empire’s fourth general election. The time is ripe to present the new government of late autumn 2016. This is relevant both to citizens of the empire as well as foreign nationals who wish to take up contact or negotiate with the government.

For those who don’t know, two candidate duos squared off against each other in the latest hard-fought election. Bislo1 and Gildor_stinky ultimately achieved majority support over BGraph and Mountainrasta. Thus they were sworn in as Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister for the next six months.

Today we take great pleasure in presenting our new government graphic, which will be updated on the BE’s wiki page for all to see:

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

Bislo1 – Prime Minister

Bislo will be serving his second term as leader of the British Empire. It is his duty to ratify treaties, speak for the crew as a whole and present declarations of war. Under his guidance, the empire shall sail for uncharted territory.

Gildor_stinky – Vice Prime Minister

Gildor_stinky shall serve as the Prime Minister’s right-hand man. When Bislo is offline, Gildor serves the chief spokesperson of the British Empire.

PaulOnFire – Election Commissioner

I shall be serving my fourth term as Election Commissioner of the British Empire. It is my duty to ensure the lawful conduct of free and fair elections as well as referendums within the crew.

Turkeyman11a – Minister for Defence

Turkeyman shall serve as the chief military supervisor of the empire and ensure that that we all keep our uniforms prim and proper. He will take command in all PvP related issues with foreign individuals who pose a direct threat to the BE.

BGraph – Minister for Justice

Bgraph shall be serving his second term as Minister for Justice and will be taking care of all domestic crime. Violations committed against British laws are his domain.

Lazydog11 – Minister for Recruitment 

Serving her third term as Minister for Recruitment, Lazydog11 will be keeping our population in check and training the new recruits to the best of her abilities.

JamesWClark – Home Secretary

JamesWClark will be taking a leading role in British construction projects and securing resources within the Empire. Under his direction, we’ll come to implement many of our ideas and plans yet undeveloped.

Mountainrasta – Foreign Secretary

In the absence of both Bislo and Gildor, Mountainrasta will be first in line when dealing with foreign crews. He will consider proposals to ally the BE and maintain relationships with our long-standing allies.

SmokinSoldier – Chief of Police

SmokinSoldier shall serve as our spiritual sheriff, helping BGraph to track down criminals and bring them to justice. He may choose police officers to help him in his endeavours.

Oktacraft – Chancellor of the Exchequer

Oktacraft shall be responsible for increasing the wealth of the British Empire and providing secure storage for our treasure.

Bazurka – Lord

Under the First Amendment of our charter, the Amendment of Lords, citizens who were in government but who no longer occupy an official government position may remain in parliament after each election so long as they renew their application as a Lord to the new Prime Minister. Bazurka has done so and will continue to assist the government as a counsellor. He may participate in government votes.

Lord_Hamsfield / CrazyPirate1 – Lord

The founder of the British Empire, Lord_Hamsfield, will be serving his second term as a Lord alongside Bazurka.

Dismissal of Lords:

Michty and Edori_an shall no longer serve as Lords of the British Empire. We thank you both for your long and honourable services. You are welcome to return any time should you feel inclined to do so.
