Last poll before 2010 elections: "Medvedev & PD win"
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 25, 2009 -



La Quotidienne wishes you a Merry Christmas!
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 25, 2009 - It's time to forget all the fuss that appeared last days. It's time of forgiveness. Don't forget we're all the same brothers and sisters. War makes place for friendship, love and joy. Make it a wonderful day and spend some lovely time with your family. Merry Christmas!



William Johnson Shakes Things Up Legally and Politically
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 24, 2009 - LOWIA, the political party ran by Oos Wes Ilava has made a new ally in the form of William Johnson, a wealthy old businessman and writer, father to television host and animal rights activist Amy Johnson. Johnson has announced he will be running for MOTC and that he will be the main financier of LOWIA. By joining the party, Johnson hopes to make a rather late, debut in the world of politics. In joining LOWIA, the tables turn further against Progressive Democrats as more and more candidates turn up against them. The new member of LOWIA is extremely supportive of the party, and dislikes the LCP enormously, calling them, "a bunch of criminals, [and] murderers." However, many believe that the Baron of Donia is behind William Johnson, using him in the form of sockpuppetry, which would almost certainly lead to extremely severe punishment for August Magnus Donia, who has already recently been in recent legal trouble (McCrooke v. Donia Trial). What will occur? August Magnus Donia will almost certainly be punished for multiple reasons, including possible sockpuppetry.

McCrooke v. Donia Trial Draws to an End
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 23, 2009 - After a somewhat short trial, Yuri Medvedev has come to a decision on the punishment of August Magnus Donia. To the surprise of many, August Magnus Donia was not found guilty of vandalism, but was asked to apologize to Pierlot McCrooke because of violation of personal integrity. No block was given to August Magnus Donia, but should another violation come up, the result would be, "blocked at once for a period up to two weeks in the awaiting of further measures." (Yuri Medvedev, McCrooke v. Donia Trial, Judging the Case) So far, August Magnus Donia has yet to apologize, and some doubt that he will at all, as it would damage his reputation that he has proven to hold onto dearly. EH

More Congress candidates, disadvantage for Progressive Democrats
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 23, 2009 - If all candidates would be chosen, this would be the composition of the Congress



New alliance saviour of democracy?
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 23, 2009 - As you could have read here below, many questions have appeared lately. People wish change and no fake reform. Some say that the opposition should unite and propose 1 candidate for Prime Minister to make this monarchy a real democratic monarchy. Maybe soon there will come new discussions on this subject.

"Political" Trial arises questions about monarchy and Progressive Democrats
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 23, 2009 - I'm writing a destructive article. Maybe it will break the PD and the position of the King, but probably I will be the only one who will be losing, because of this article. But I can't ignore it anymore. We should open our eyes. I won't be afraid to say what I want to say, however I'll probably get a huge number of warnings from the King and his pals, just like in the past. Because nothing has changed, only the followers of the King & co. are less in number.
 * It may sound a bit harsh and exaggerated, but who can know it better than the one who's had a trial in the past, himself, actually the only one who has had a trial until now? I admit I've done wrong, but the way I've been punished was wrong as well. There is actually no trias politica in Lovia. The King knows Yuri Medvedev since he was a kid, IRL, who's Judge and has been Prime Minister of Lovia until now. How come he's running again for Prime Minister? How come the King's brother, George Matthews, heads the police? How come only friends of the King are administrator on this site? I hope we are not that blind to see that this situation is not good at all. Again it seems Lovia is only about the King and his elite, and not about the normal editor. An elite shares the top functions while the people keep editing like "morons".
 * The trial revives the Republican sentiments in Lovia. It seems it has been provoked by communist August Magnus Donia and is nothing more than a political game. He knew he was going to be punished. Why didn't he stop? Well, it's simple. Let's be honest that nobody likes Pierlot McCrooke. He has vandalized a lot, punctum. Attacking this member of the PD (McCrooke), Donia would become more popular. Finally there's someone who says where Pierlot's place is. The PD has certainly got an internal problem.
 * But he, the communist leader, does also know he can't win this trial, everyone here knows he's lost. The King doesn't like him, thus he will talk to his friend Yuri Medvedev what his punishment should be. Just like in April 2008, when I weren't even allowed to defend myself (!). Yuri, Judge and chairman of the PD (Pierlot is member of the PD), won't let Pierlot down. And he knows: if Donia is behind key and lock, there is no LCP, thus there are less concurrents. Pierlot and his PD would win the case.
 * If the communists use the right tactics, they should ask for another Judge who is not appointed by the King and who is not member of a political party. For Yuri Medvedev it's impossible to remain neutral. They can show the people: "hey, look this is not fair. They are not allowed to punish us this way, open your eyes".
 * The Republican sentiment grows. Donia let the people see that nothing has changed. Everything is in hands of the King and his marionette party the PD. The head of this party is appointed by the King to act as a judge. And the King is not willing to give up his automatic seat in Congress. In fact it looks like the same old story: the King and his IRL friends, the administrators, the PD members have all power. And this process doesn't stop, because both bureaucrats, what a coincidence: the King and Yuri Medvedev, want another bureaucrat: Arthur Jefferson. How come he's also a PD member and an IRL friend of the King and Yuri? The community has no right to discuss on the topic who should become a bureaucrat and who not, it's part of the personal discussions between the King and Yuri.
 * It's no conincidence that the popularity of August Magnus Donia has grown amazingly fast. It seems more and more people are willing to do anything to get rid of this monarchy, which looks democratic, but it isn't. "Even a Socialist Republic would be better", says a former PD supporter who wants to remain anonymous.
 * This trial, just before Christmas and the elections, let the anger grow. If the trial will still be kept this way, we can predict you that there will come an organized Republican opposition. Because the people start to disapprove this.

Has the 'Vandalizing Communist' Really Learned His Lesson?
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 22, 2009 - After yesterday's events with LVP leader the Baron of Donia (see below) has responded to the public. Contrary to what people would have expected, Pierius Magnus has managed to worsen the situation at hand. Over the last day, he has been continuing to be irritating to many people, and has continued to vandalize (this vandalism is much smaller, but nonetheless a form of vandalism). In response to Pierlot McCrooke's decision to divorce Dalia Donia-McCrooke, Pierius Magnus said, "Mr. McCrooke kinda looks like an asshole." He goes on, saying, "If you divorce your pregnant wife just because you dislike her father it makes you look like a cold, heartless person. You will not get any votes then. Lovians don't want assholes in the congress. So I advice you to rethink this hasty decision," to Pierlot McCrooke. As if this was not enough, he continued, going on to change the leader of the LCP from himself to another man, called Dr. Vladimir Boudenski. After investigation, it was brought to light that this man is indeed under the same User as August Magnus Donia, and that there is no real shift in power. Finally, the Baron of Donia wrote on Pierlot McCrooke's page that he is a, "...cold, heartless bastard for divorcing his pregnant wife Dalia Donia just because he dislikes me, her poor father..." Now on the list of felonies the Baron of Donia is risking punishment for: vandalism, threatening (or blackmail), and taking advantage of multiple "accounts."

Vandalizing communist for Prime Minister
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 21, 2009 - A vandalizing communist called Pierius Magnus wishes to become government leader in Lovia. However, it seems he's currently risking a punishment in Lovian prison.
 * He didn't only stalk and offend Pierlot McCrooke, people have also seen him vandalize La Quotidienne and The Noble City Times. In the past, he had already been warned for sockpupetting and several insults. Some people suspect him of being a troll.
 * As The Noble City Times wrote today he may risk to be judged and end in prison. Then he could rather forget a possible election. Although it does not seem that he would be popular anyways. A significant part of the population is afraid of a possible surpressing rule of the communists.

Prime Minister candidate McCandless threatened


 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 21, 2009 - Yesterday, Andy McCandless, Candidate for Prime Minister, was threatened by an unknown criminal. If Andy McCandless wouldn't change his campaign, this criminal "would have done it himself", was his announcement . However, Andy McCandless went to the police which is still researching this case.
 * The unknown criminal and Andy McCandless bumped into each other in Little Europe, where the WLP chairman just had had his speech. The delinquent grabbed the politican's arm and raised his fist. "Then he said his thing and left, disappearing in the mass of people", explains Noble City Police Commissioner Peter Bliveryhead, "but we don't know if he had a weapon carrying with him". Andy McCandless is alright and has now two security guards, who will stay with him until the threat is over, possibly until after the elections.
 * Some blame the extremist political parties, however others suggest that the offender would have been someone in his own coalition, not satisfied with the LD+WLP cooperation.

Lovian politics have changed
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 13, 2009 - Analists see an enormous change the last two years.



King going to get married
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 12, 2009 - However the elections attract more readers at the moment, we should not forget the relationship between Dimitri and Mary Elly. It's now officially known that they are going to get married in 2010. That's what the King wrote on his own page. He has not given a declaration yet, about his marriage. Some hope that it will take place on January the First, being a symbol of a new decade and period.

LD: "We won't be radical reformers"
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 12, 2009 - Here is the speech, given by Alexandru Latin (party leader, LD).
 * "We, of the Liberal Democrats, want to see change. Unlike the other parties, we are well-known for our viewpoints on reform. But to be honest, most of these points are plans for in the future. We definitely want to see the political system work. None of us would be willing to see an inactive Congress. It's the place where all decisions are made concerning Lovia, our country. If there aren't any Congressmen or Congresswomen, there is nobody to make any decisions. There would be no progress. We, of the Liberal Democrats, want to see some fresh action. A democratic one. Now I will explain why most of our plans, like the State councils, are only future plans. They can only be created when there are enough citizens. That's why we support a new wave of immigration, to keep this country rolling. We don't want to be a failed state, we definitely want to be more than that. We need more inhabitants and they will only come if they are received with respect and if they can see a bright future in Lovia, if they know that they have rights and if they have the possibility to build up a carreer.
 * Thus no, we won't be those radical reformers. We won't change our state form and we are not willing to discourage people to become Mayor of a place. Of course we want to see change, but only if the time is right. You've read our ideals and of course we want to accomplish them, but only if Lovia would become better thanks to these reforms. Today, not all of these plans are feasible. May that be clear.
 * Yes, we also have other plans. Our other viewpoints may look a bit related to those of our Progressive friends. They certainly are. Healtchare and education for everyone, a good infrastructure and the protection of our environment. A mixed economy, more investments in sustainable energy and innovation. We want to make discrimination based on gender, religion, race, ancestry and appearance illegal. Legalize abortus and euthanasia, make Lovia a better place!
 * Choose the Liberal Democrats, vote for progress, liberty, democracy and activity!"

PD's popularity decreases
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 12, 2009 - There is a new party and a new candidate in Lovia, namely List Oos Wes Ilava. The major political parties, the PD, LD and the WLP, see their chances decrease after this wave of new candidates.


 * The following coalitions would be possible (the independent King not included):
 * PD/LD/WLP, 9/11 seats
 * PD/LD/LOWIA, 8/11 seats
 * PD/LD, 7/11 seats
 * PD/WLP/LOWIA, 7/11 seats
 * PD/WLP, 6/11 seats
 * LD/WLP/LOWIA, 6/11 seats (the only possible coalition without the Progressive Democrats)

"Secret" political weapons
 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 11, 2009 - Every politician will do and say anything to obtain an extra vote.
 * (PD) Yuri Medvedev - Was Prime Minister of Lovia, one of the most significant contributors ever. He is admin, Judge and has a good relationship with the King. Although some people might think his relationship with the King would be a little bit too good, causing difficulties concerning the trias politica.
 * (PD) Alyssa C. Red - A serious and hard working woman. She belongs to the most leftist part of the PD. In the past she'd been the leader of the New Socialist Party.
 * (PD) Arthur Jefferson - Former Minister, good contributor, knows the King personally.
 * (PD) Pierlot McCrooke - Controversial international personality. Has been regularly in prison. Would Lovia give him another chance? One says he's only being a candidate because he wants power (switching over from party to party).
 * (LD) Lars Washington - Former Minister, also known to be a good contributor with a lot of experience, belonging to the Old Five together with Medvedev and Jefferson.
 * (LD) Harold Freeman - One of the new Lovian citizens. Hopes to bring some new life to this wiki with his Liberal ideals.
 * (LD) Alexandru Latin - A controversial personality because of the Alexandru Latin Trial last year, however he has proved he can contribute seriously like every other citizen. He especially hopes to obtain votes in Oceana and Sylvania.
 * (WLP) Andy McCandless - A new user, hoping to refresh (read: "Simplify, simplify!") this wiki with his Libertarian ideals.
 * (WLP) Edward Hannis - The same as Andy McCandless. He joined the Libertarians because he believes that the system of laws and regulations that Lovia has would be far too complex for the general understanding of the everyday citizen.

Freeman Poll: "Progressive Democrats will win the Federal Elections (40%)"


 * NOBLE CITY, DECEMBER 11, 2009 - Source: Harold Freeman
 * There will be only one independent MOTC, his majesty King Dimitri I (as determined by law)
 * The best represented party is the Progressive Democrats, but they do not have a majority

Elections coming
 * NOBLE CITY, NOVEMBER 21, 2009 - The King has announced that everyone who has not got a punishment can subscribe, starting on December 1st. It's still unclear when these elections, Federal and State elections, will start. His message to a couple of citizens, was the following:
 * "I'm going to start up the election procedures for both state and federal elections very soon. On December 1 candidates can subscribe. I would like you [...] to run for MOTC, if you were not convinced yet of doing so. If you may, becoming Governor is also an option. But I must tell you, I am trying to rework the system so that some state powers will be shifted to other levels. Currently, a Governor is rather dictatorial. And I want to fix that. Just letting you know".
 * We can conclude that the Governors will get a different duty than they have now. We can't say with evidence what this duty will be including. Shall he become a sort of arbitrator or shall he still be able to do politics actively? The King will probably come soon with more news.

"King Dimitri gets married in December"
 * NOBLE CITY, NOVEMBER 20, 2009 - Several sources have claimed to know the specific date of a possible marriage between King Dimitri I and Mary Elisabeth Nelson. Even though it's even unknown if they officially would have a relationship. It's more than clear there's something more than just a normal friendship, but our Lovian King hasn't made any official statement yet, thus we could predict any kind of scenario you want without knowing what's going to happen
 * Dates like 5 but also 31 December have been called by The Daily and The Newhaven Times. Other people and media think that time should pass by a little, so they say October 10, 2010 and sometimes even November 11 2011.
 * Conclusion: because the King hasn't made any official declaration, the Lovians are desperately asking themselves what future will bring. If time will pass by, more and more speculations will appear. "We want to know", shouts George Slavskaya, a random pedestrian in Newhaven. And that's how it is.

Noble City Area is booming; Oceana in difficulties
 * NOBLE CITY, NOVEMBER 20 2009 - "Lovia is back in business", says Constantine, a proud inhabitant of Noble City, while people in Oceana are getting the feeling that there is a new crisis coming. "Oceana has had its golden period, Hurbanova was simply growing too fast. Nowadays, a vast community of Hurbanovans has left to find a job in Lovia's capital".
 * The census buro has made its population figures public, yesterday. The only state that faces a population decrease is the State of Oceana. And not just a decrease: 30% of Oceana's population has gone to other states.
 * If we have to believe the figures, Sylvania would be the state where most Hurbanovans try to build up a new life. Like Oceana has lost 30% of its inhabitants, Sylvania's population has increased by 30%.
 * Important factors would not only be the financial situation in Hurbanova, but also the opportunities offered by Noble City. Many young people don't see a bright future in the old town of Hurbanova. Noble City, however, has got impressive business districts, shopping malls and of course: universities.
 * Professor Markonne at the Blackburn University thinks it would not only be the youth of Hurbanova that simply goes to the city. For example, he remarked, "Train Village faces the same problem. More and more people leave the rural parts of the country because there aren't any opportunities". He predicts that a new period of urbanisation has begun. "A great moment for Noble City to develop and boom", added the professor.

MARY ELLY ADMITS: "Dimitri and I are in love"


 * NOBLE CITY, 14th NOVEMBER 2009 - It's crystal clear. We, the first newspaper, are happy to announce that Mary Elly and King Dimitri I certainly are in love.
 * Yesterday afternoon at 16.15 PM we saw the two in the Garden of the Royal Palace. They weren't just hugging, let's keep it there.
 * After a couple of minutes the two went back inside the Palace. It's unkown what they've been doing during all those hours.
 * Later on, at approximately 19.00 PM, we see Mary Elly leaving the Royal Palace. She tried not to be recognised, but without success. We told her we, the nation, had to know. And then she finally admitted: "As you're not willing to leave me alone - and I want to be able to enter my house, normally, without the paparazzi blocking my door - I won't make a big point of it. I don't know whether "Dimi" thinks if it's the perfect moment to say but, yes, Dimitri and I have a special connection." We tried to ask her more, but she stepped in her car and left.
 * We will come back with more. Stay tuned!

Plemming burried in Forest
 * PLEMMING FOREST, 13th NOVEMBER 2009 - Today has been a strange day for the Plemming family. The young poet, Sven Plemming, which suddenly died a day before, was burried today at 12 PM, but not all family members and friends could be found at the event.
 * Not only his best friend, Oos Wes Ilava, but even his brother Gustav weren't at the cemetery. Not because they didn't have any time, but they just simply didn't recognise his death. Very surprising. Lovia doesn't know what to start with these two guys. Most people find it respectless towards the burried man and other family members. In the press they've frequently been called "fools" and even "morons", as in The Daily of yesterday. Everyone wants to know why these people are just ignoring the truth. Or is there really something else happening around? Who will ever know.
 * But what we do know, is that Sven Plemming has left us. We won't be able to enjoy any new poems. And that's a sad thing.

New photos appeared of "Mary Elly"
 * NOBLE CITY, 12th NOVEMBER 2009 - New photos have appeared of Mary Elisabeth Nelson, also known as "Mary Elly". Some think she will become the new Lovian Queen, because of her controversial relationship with King Dimitri I. Dimitri I rejects the media's statements and remarked that there would not be anything more than a "normal friendship". However, many people think that HRH himself has made these pictures.

Quotes of the week "1. I might be Limburgish, but I'm not waerelsvraemp è (Oos Wes Ilava on shemales) 2. I don't give a (King creating a poll on Anfii's sudden death) 3. I saw (Bucurestean "doing the Anfii" after Anfii's death) 4. Is she becoming Queen of Lovia then?  (Dimitri talking about Mary Elly)"

In memoriam, Sven Plemming


 * PLEMMING FOREST, 12th NOVEMBER 2009 - The young poet is in a better place now. May he rest in peace †.
 *  The Plemming Forest is a forest in the east 
 *  The forest mostly contains pine trees 
 *  Some elderly say there lives a beast 
 *  But others say it's just a couple of geese 
 *  The elderly are very afraid because they hear a sound 
 *  A sound what they can't determinate 
 *  Others say it's just geese landing on the ground 
 *  And the elderly wrongly estimate 
 *  The elderly don't have to be afraid 
 *  Because the geese disappear when it's late 
 * How did he die, has been the big question today. Doctors announced they will search for a possible reason. Although it has still been a controversial death, Doctor Sir Adam stated that his primitive living conditions would have been important factors for his sudden death.
 * Neither friend Oos Wes Ilava nor brother Gustav Plemming recognised the death. Ilava remarked: "La Quotidienne cannot be trusted anymore". Hereby, a confused Gustav added that not "Anfii" would have died, but his elder brother Mohammed El Poponar. However, Mohammed has been far away at Teheran, so Gustav's declaration is not plausible. Despite these different declarations, Sven Plemming will still be burried tomorrow, in his Plemming Forest.

BREAKING NEWS: "Lovia has a Queen!"


 * NOBLE CITY, 12th NOVEMBER 2009 - Since a couple of days it's full of the paparazzi in Bayside, Noble City, where the 18 years old Mary Elisabeth Nelson lives. Some sources say she'll be the King's bride and only because she had been spotted by the press in Restaurant Phoenix, when she was having dinner, together with the young King.
 * However, other sources claim to have seen them frequently together. And not only in Bayside, but even in the Palace's Garden and in the City of Newhaven.
 * Despite all the publicity, King Dimitri I keeps ignoring these statements: "[...] By the way, mister journalist, who told you something was going on? You know, I, King Dimitri, am befriended to Mary Elly, nothing more, nothing less."
 * Mary "Elly" didn't prefer to respond to the press. She's staying at home, waiting for the press to leave but in the meantime she's busy with her Religion Survey. Would there really be a special relationship between these two? Who knows.

King Dimitri, Part 2
 * NOBLE CITY, 8th NOVEMBER 2009 - "As in a fairy tale, our beloved King came back", said a young waitress in Train Village. "No one would have expected this after a couple of months".
 * Indeed, for most people it would probably have been a surprise, this revival. There was a period of total anarchy. Some were even talking about the "pierlotisation" of Lovia, but other ex-citizens suddenly returned from nowhere. One of them: Dimitri Noble.
 * Dimitri Noble, in a speech to his fellow citizen, said that we should forgive each other and start building up this nation, together. Even "Enemy of the State" Alexandru Latin had been released, although after an extended stay in prison. Dimitri asked permission to the people to become King, again. The crowning will begin tomorrow, at 8:30 PM, exactly two years after his first crowning as Dimitri I.
 * Due to anarchy, the whole political system had been upside down. Dimitri Noble created a provisional Congress with active citizens as Men of the Congress.
 * Stay tuned, because a lot of things will change.
