This press message was released by the Government of the Republic of Kirlawa.
On October 1, 2120, two-time Whig Party presidential candidate George H.W. Kemp was assassinated while giving a campaign address on a swing through the Merkan Province of Kirlawa.
In the grief that Kirlawa feels for the death of Mr. Kemp, the Kirlawan House of Representatives has prepared and is poised to pass legislation that will commorate a day of rememberance for George Kemp and the life that he lead.
T^he Government thanks all Kirlawans who have given the Government and country its prayers and support for continuing forward with a strong liberal democracy, no matter what our detractors may do, no matter what hideous evil is wrought upon us by those who oppose democracy.Signed,
the Government of the Republic of Kirlawa
