If Anthony Gunn MacPherson was brash and overconfident, it was as a result of his meteoric rise into imperial politics. He was recognized as a standout student by his marpesienne law professor, Hadrian Molyneux, and introduced to another leading "Trouser," Théophile Gladstone-Pape (the Elbener...

Julian had been about to vote for Karl Maria, seeing the handwriting on the wall, but thought she should let Dalmar vote first, and then things had happened rather quickly. But she was the first to stand, even before the eyes of the room turned to her, and kneel before Karl Maria so that he took...

The effectiveness of the sanctions had diminished over time, but lifting them would be welcome news to the Elbeners. Maybe they would grumble less about MacPherson's "style." The Calidia Question was complex, since the little republic was no longer the clan bastion it was in the 1980s, but these...

MacPherson liked the vice secretary, Mihajlovic, who seemed to have read his mind and assuaged his fears about the trade corridor. Now if only these dour fucking Slavs would buy some goddamn tractors. He chuckled to himself especially at Grasser, who seemed like he was all in favor of peace and...

The Advocate Informing the Inns of Court and all Gunnishmen since 1665. TRUMM VISITS WINDHAVEN, CALLS EMPIRE "UNWISE" Outspoken S.W.R. President Meets PM, Leader; Mostly Praises Gunnish Policy WINDHAVEN. Reports claim that President Donna Trumm of the Socialist World Republic was rankled that...

MacPherson's mouth fell open a little. The earnestness and sincerity of the Retalian diplomat, these simpering stories about friendship and kindness, it galled him. It was true what Friedrich Nietzsche said about the Eiffellandians, that they were all lining up to be the Letzter Mensch. He shook...

The Advocate Informing the Inns of Court and all Gunnishmen since 1665. OPINION: GUNNISHMEN AND BURGUNDIANS CAN COÖPERATE It Is Time to Admit Mistakes Gunnland Made In the Seven Days' War Théophile Gladstone-Pape, MT Former Leader Blackthorn blames every problem this country has, and some it...

Officium Legati + Sacrum Imperium Tibur The Empire welcomes recognition from the Grand Duchy of Lars and will normalize relations post haste. The three imperial nations are proud of their individual track records of cooperation with Lars, and we are pleased that this cooperation can now...

MacPherson sighed. Lars was an important trade corridor for Gunnish goods to reach southern markets. His predecessor Larkin's Île-des-Pins Conference, ostensibly for Crotobaltislavonian development, had in fact been the achievement of a career-long effort to make overland trade goods flow...

"What I can't figure out is, for all their... history in the region, where is Serenierre now? Radio silence after the Domain invasion. And as far as I can tell..." MacPherson looked around the room, waving his cigarette around with an insouciant shrug. "...they are not here now. If Villesen is...

Officium Legati + Sacrum Imperium Tibur The deposition of the Augustus of the south concerns us deeply, and we fear, portends ill for the project of unifying all Christians under the banner of Christ and his Tiburian Church, which is our deepest hope. Anthony Gunn MacPherson Imperial Minister...

Since vodka is tasteless in every sense of the world, there was nothing from the East that the Gunnish liked quite so much as black-market Zolotaya cigarettes. MacPherson took the cue from the marshal to light one of his own. He needed one: the idea of Eiffellandians and Kadikistanis agreeing...

MacPherson raised an eyebrow at Di Gravesano-Carone. His words were politic, but broached the possibility that Domain troops on Gallic soil was a felicitous "intervention." The Eiffellandian abhorrence of Serenniere was well known, but there was the mystery about why Villesen had been so slow to...

The Advocate Informing the Inns of Court and all Gunnishmen since 1665. OPINION: WHY DOESN'T GUNNLAND HAVE A CARDINAL? Imperial Election Offers Reminder: Archbishop Woodstone Still Lacks Red Hat Walter mA. Matthew, MT Henry Cardinal Stewart died Herzogenrode almost a year ago, and still...

A bishop could not become an emperor, and he was not going to vote for a Moslem. Edmund's expectation was that everyone would vote for their liege lords, though he looked a little suspiciously at Prince Dalmar. Would he vote for Julian? And he remembered the rumors from Coemgein Gallagher at the...
