An official statement from the Imperial Chancellor:

People of Syawla. This day, the Empress has lain in preparation for the birth of her child. It brings pleasure for me as Imperial Chancellor to announce that within the past hour, a healthy boy has been delivered to the great benefit of this nation. The boy has been named Jean Emmanuel Lee by the Imperial family in honour of his family's eternal devotion to God. The Emperor has declared the day to be a national holiday. The infant; Jean, has been created Governor of the Limpopo, and named Crown Prince and heir to the Syawlan Empire.
The Empress lays in rest at present and will take leave from Imperial affairs with the Emperor for a short period of time, during which I shall operate executive control.

Plans for the child's christening have however began and the following have been nominated by the Emperor to act as the child's godparents:

The Holy Father,
Dr Camizu of Camizu,
Augusto Pinochet of the CNNP,
Queen Chloe of the Kingdom of Neo-Macedonia.

OOC: Camizu isn't a Catholic is he....The Pope would not be very happy with that.

IC: CEN News Update

"The Empress Lisa of Syawla gave birth today to a healthy son whom they have named Jean Emmanuel Lee. It is reported that she is in fine health and, God willing, both baby and mother will soon be ready to leave their delivery rooms.

The christening of the Imperial Crown Prince has been announced. The Church has so far refused to comment on it though, citing slight misunderstadings as not allowing them to actually give a definitive comment on it."

Dr Camizu today sent his most emphatic congratulations to his long time friend and ally, the Emperor of Syawla, and to his wife, the Empress, on the birth of their child and heir. This is a joyous occasion, not just for Syawla and friends, but for all of Africa.

On the news that he had been nominated to act as a godparent to the child, Dr Camizu offered his sincere thanks. He vowed that he would preform any responsibilities involved to the best of his ability.

Presidente Augusto Pinochet has publically announced his accepting upon the nomination to become one those considered to become the godfather of the empress's child. He says his retirement from public office will give him the oppurtunity to raise the child in accordance with Church and give the child the best support he can offer. The CNNP has closed all businesses so that all can attend Church and honor the birth Jean Emmanuel Lee.

In a public letter to Syawla:

I am overjoyed that my sister, the Empress has given birth and that the Syawlan Empire now has a new addition to the royal family. God has truly graced my sister and my brother in-law with the greatest gift this world has to offer. I see nothing but great things coming from the child and as a relative of mine, I will do everything in my power to support and care for the child. Once the civil war is over and God allows me to return to my people and rule them under his guidance, I will travel to Syawla to meet with the Royal couple and visit with my newly born nephew.

OOC: After much deliberation I have decided to allow the Pope to be a god-parent despite the fact that Camizu is not Catholic. However, the Pope will send a representative as a sign of his protest and disapproval.

An announcement from the Imperial Chancellor:

"My fellow Syawlans. It is with great sadness, that I announce the passing of the Empress Lisa in the small hours of the night. Complications, triggered during her recent pregnancy emerged last night after the Empress was rushed from a mass at her private chapel to intensive care, where medical staff exhausted themselves trying to resuscitate her, in vain. The Emperor is of course, in a serious state of grief and has withdrawn to the countryside for mourning. His son, Jean Emmanuel, is well for it seems the mother bore the brunt of the difficulties coming from the pregnancy. I have been delegated Executive powers until such time as the Emperor feels able to return to duties."

---

With news of the passing of the Empress, thousands poured onto the streets of Ivoj Nob to mourn her passing. Lisa, dubbed the Empress of Hearts, was genuinely popular in a way that her husband envied for her compassion and beauty. It is expected that grieving will take place until well beyond her funeral within the next week, for the Neo-Macedonian who will be buried in the heart of Syawla.

OOC: Wonderful! I'm sensing that Syawla will not become more Catholic now the Empress is dead! :(

IC: The death of Empress Lisa, a true and devout catholic of Syawla and of the Imperial Syawlan Family, does indeed fill my heart with sadness. I will pray for her and offer Masses for her soul.

The Syawlan imperial family has been good friends with SOuth Africa and the untimely passing of Lisa will be bitterly mourned in this country. Emperor Jacob and his entourage will attend the funeral in Syawla.

All Norightsia prays for the soul of Empress Lisa of Syawla. A more devoutly Catholic woman would be hard to find anywhere. I truly mourn for the death of a great child of God, but my heart is lightened by the fact that she is most definately heavenbound. May her widower and son carry on her tradition of Catholic service and love. Though initally otherwise occupied, I have cleared my schedule to attend.

The Chancellor, using the opportunity presented by the Empress's death, has succeeded in getting passage through the Senate of a new bill granting unto him greater powers. The bill nicknamed 'Bismarck II Statutes' means that while the Senate retains its 'power of the purse', almost all domestic legislation now requires merely the approval of the Imperial Council, which is multi-party but dominated by the party of the Imperial Chancellor. The Emperor's own veto remains, although with the Emperor in mourning, this is currently effectively neutered. It is believed that the bill was passed due to promises of further tax cuts to his more conservative colleagues within the governing party.

The opposition party Syawlan Social Democrats have condemned the legislation as "purely authoritarian" and demanded the Imperial impeachment of Chancellor Dupers.

Due to my nation's civil war I was not able to send word to my Syawlan Family. The Death of my sister is most saddening, she was truly the strongest of us and I can only pray that God will allow such a devout Catholic into his kingdom. I also send word to my brother Jean, I feel your pain and am always willing to aid you in your recovery to this terrible event. I also welcome my newly born nephew to my nation should Jean be unable to attend to his needs.

As for the actions of the Syawlan government, I have no comment at this time.

An announcement from the Imperial Chancellor:

"Mourn with me my fellow Syawlans, our Imperial father is dead. After weeks of mourning for the passage of his beloved wife, during which time he had not eaten or slept, our beloved Emperor Jean I has passed away from a wasting sickness. A man who did such great things for Syawla; who returned peace, stability and freedom to this country after the horrors of the Revolution, a man who brought this nation untold national glory and who reunited this nation under the guidance of the holy church; he will now be richly buried at the same time as his late wife and Empress, in a state funeral, to which all heads of state from across Africa are invited. As Imperial Chancellor, however, I ask all Syawlans to swear an oath of fealty to the new Emperor Jean II. Though in his minority, I for one am sure the child will grow to be a strong ruler, who will ensure the future strength and prosperity of the Syawlan people. As Imperial Chancellor I hereby declare myself the child's godfather in accordance with his father's last wishes. With these powers I also declare sole use of the prerogative powers held by the Imperial Crown until such time as the child comes of majority. Long live the Emperor!"

---

Syawla streets were once again filled with people, however in a far more divided manner than after the death of the Empress Lisa. Arch-Catholics who have never forgiven the Emperor for his part in the African Schism, declared the day a celebration and burned effigies of the late Emperor in their suburbs. The majority still however, showed genuine grief for a man, who, despite his faults, had always preached tolerance and had reunited the country after the horrors of Revolution. The funeral of the Imperial Couple is destined to be a huge event.
