 DRISELBIA NOW A KINGDOM
By Editor-In-Chief Qandaristania
DRISELBIA - The Driselbian government
has announced that it will go through what is called
a major reform, effectively turning the region into
a kingdom with HM Trigori as king of the region.
After a long time of administrational confusion,
inefficient governance and relative inactivity in
the government, this announcement has been wel-
comed by some who see this as a great way of fur-
ther solidifying a unique Driselbian identity. This
decision has not been rushed but has rather been
at vote for quite a while, with the latest constitu-
tional referendum splitting the population into a
pro-monarchist and an anti-monarchist camp with
the pro-monarchist camp winning the referendum
and subsequently bringing about the government
reform. One particular citizen told us that the re-
forms have been good because it ‘brought stabili-
ty’ to Driselbia, which is known for several small,
insignificant but nontheless unstable clashes be-
tween the government and
some particular nations who have tried to
harm the stability of the seven-month old
region. Another citizen told Slavme mag-
azine that the reform ‘actually didn’t do
much but change the name of positions and
change the council a bit’. Some nations how-
ever are against the recent developments,
with some being against some parts of the
reform, like the issue of overlapping powers
between the Chancellor and the new Pres-
ident position, while others are completely
against the whole thing. One nation told
Slavme magazine that the reform has been
‘senseless’ and ‘useless’ and ‘should not have
been done in the first place’. That particu-
lar nation also pointed out that Driselbia’s
democratic institution is now at stake and
might even be at the brink of dissolution.
Whatever the case, this reform has certainly
divided the people of this precious region.

in order to prevent its doom at

became the Driselbian Roy-
al Army, was established in
March 2018 in order to pro-
tect Driselbia from its enemies
and to expand its virtues and
its borders and make it greater
than ever seen before in time.

Soldiers of the nation performing the honorous duty
The Driselbian Royal Army is like a loyal shield
protecting the wearer from sustaining damag-
es during battle. Like a shield, the DRA shields
the region from foreign and domestic attacks
and seeks to expand Driselbia beyond its current
borders. The DRA is proudly and fearlessly serv-
ing the interests of the Driselbian nation and the
Driselbian nation only and seeks to destroy and
regularly weakens those who are against the re-
gion and its precious and holy values. In order
to strengthen the shield, it’s necessary to give the
shield upgrades and make it harder. Similarly, the
DRA can only be stronger by bolstering its ranks
through volunteers and patriots seeking to fight
for their nation and for “Slavme slavne slavu”. By
bolstering the ranks of the fighters of the nation,
the army will act like a strengthened shield, being
able to withstand more damage and being more
durable. So go forth, oh patriot, and join the army
and support the pride of the region and protect its
precious values against enemies who wish to spit
on them. Join the army and envoke great hell on
the enemies, and join the glorious historical
legacy of six regions, and as more mergers are
to come, the army will be stocked with even
more great legacies. Join the army in gruesome
battles and set an example for future nations
like the collapse and invasion of the Union of
Confederate Regions, of which Driselbia par-
took in as the true successor to the now dis-
graced former Conventian Empire. Bolster
the ranks of the protectors of honor and rain
hell upon enemies that seek to destroy Drisel-
bia and undermine it, seeing it as simply as
a potential merger. Fight for what’s right but
don’t transgress, for transgressors won’t gain
anything and karma will eventually bite them.
Join the army and perform tag raids on small
dead regions, likewise you can detag them as
well and set the stage for a potential revival of
said region. Invade regions and make them
subserviant to the Driselbian nation and like-
wise liberate them and give them back their
freedom. The opportunities are endless.

INTERVIEW W/

HIS MAJESTY
His Majesty Trigori has, amid confus-
ing times as a result of the great reform,
made himself available to the public in
order to assist the President, His Ex-
cellency Qandaristania, and the rest of
the government in order to make sure
that the government is efficiently and
unconditionally serving the citizens
that are everso loyal to it. HM Trigori
therefore has made himself available
to the citizens of Driselbia by opening
himself up for an honorable interview
with Slavme magazine.

His Majesty in all his glory
Foreword
HM TRIGORI: Greetings to all mangos. In this new system
that you have voted for, we are fixing some stability issues
that could have bitten us in the back later and giving Drisel-
bia a whole new aesthetic. I would also like to use this space
to explain that a monarchy does not automatically equal an
absolutist monarchy or an evil empire. We are a democratic
and parliamentary monarchy, similar to the likes of United
Kingdom, Sweden or Spain. Every citizen has the right to
vote and sit in the Diet, our legislative assembly. We have
system of checks and balances and in the spirit of a “peo-
ple’s king,” I have the right to act on the basis of a popular
petition, to name a few highlights of our governments. So
I would also like to ask of you: PLEASE participate in the
government. The country is in your hands. Create bills,
vote in the Diet, procesute corrupt politicans, help make
Driselbia a better place by your effort (for which you then
gain bragging rights, so go for it.) This was the foreword,
now for some questions.
What was the reasoning behind
this reform that has drastically
changed Driselbia’s outlook?
HM TRIGORI: Driselbia ended up as a diarchy.
Having two ambitious people of the same rank didn’t
work out in the past, as proven by the situation in
the early Atlas Federation, where a guy named Sovi-
etSparta (we were both the principes of the region)
tried to coup me. I’m not saying Qandy would be the
one to do such a thing, he would never do such thing
as he is a hardworking and loyal person, but I’d rath-
er not have doors open for instability and destruc-
tion. So first I talked with Qandy about this situation
and we reached an agreement: I like to sit high and
say “mango” a lot and Qandy did plenty of work. So
we agreed that I would have mostly ceremonial pow-
ers, while Qandy could continue to do his thing. We
then presented it to you guys to decide if you like
that or not.
What are the benefits of such
reform? Would you recommend
monarchism to other regions?
HM TRIGORI: Yeah, so now we have a proper hi-
erarchy, so there’s no need to drown the other guy
politically and very likely take the region with them.
I do my stuff and Qandy does his stuff. In addition to
that, I have anchored my policy of political neutrality
as a head of state in the constitution, which should
help unite the region since people get riled up about
politics a lot and if the guy at the top just smiles ner-
vously, it makes you feel better. To your second ques-
tion, I say — to each region their own. Whatever fits
their culture. But I believe having a neutral head of
state is essential to a functioning region and while
you’re at it, why not give it some flair as well? Just
don’t slip into the Palpatine meme. Do a king George
or something instead. He had a cool beard and his
country had a parliament.
How has the region responded
so far to these reforms?
HM TRIGORI: I think that most people are okay
with it, especially when we count the referendum,
which has brought us here anyway. There are some
that protest this, but as long as they’re not trying to
break the region, I don’t mind, it’s their opinion.

government is as stable and
