This press message was released by the Government of the Pierwsze Imperium Walruzyjskie (Valruzia).
Greetings, exalted citizens of Terra.
On August 8th, 3222, the Second Republic of Valruzia ceased to exist. In its stead, the First Valruzian Empire has been formed, to help bring Valruzia back to the forefront of politics.
The following excerpt is from the inaugural speech given by his Imperial Majesty, Aleksander I of Valruzia:
"...Never again will we be divided! Never again will sector turn against sector, friend turn against friend, sibling turn against sibling. We are one nation, indivisible!
To ensure that we will always stand together, that we will always speak with a single voice and act with a single hand, the Republic must change. We must evolve. We must grow. We have become an empire in fact; let us become an Empire in name as well! We are the first Valruzian Empire!
We are an Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body! We are an Empire that will never return to the political manoeuvring and corruption that have wounded us so deeply; we are an Empire that will be directed by a single sovereign, chosen for life!
We are an Empire ruled by the majority! An Empire ruled by a new Constitution! An Empire of laws, not of politicians! An Empire devoted to the preservation of a just society. Of a safe and secure society! We are an Empire that will stand ten thousand years!"
Glory to Valruzia! Glory to Aleksander I!
Signed,
