PM Candidates - Their Campaigns and Origin

(Year 234, Fall) The upcoming election will give us a new Prime Minister, for sure; Mr Wilder is too old for re-election. None of the four candidates were in such a high position previously, and some of you might like a little more information on their campaign and diverse origin. Some come from working class, while others descend from aristocracy - kings, even. Let's have a closer look!

Will our next Prime Minister be a Dougham, Jang, Starks or Mistfield? Only one of them can win.

While most experts would say there are only two true candidates, Mr Charloman C. Dougham (RIGHT party) and Anaya L. Jang (LEFT party), we'll check the background of the top candidate from all four political parties. This will be quite briefly, as anyone desire more can easily learn more by browsing the online residents index.

House of Sax-Donnersmalt losing Verde Barony!

(Year 234, Fall) Breaking: In a fresh press release, Duke Victus of Meadows has confirmed that he will accept the Verde barony! Speculations had it that he considered leaving the peerage to his halfbrother in order to help his late father's House of Sax-Donnersmalt, but now he states that he is 1st in line to Verde barony and that he has no intention of breaking those old heritage rules.

Verde barony is part of the very complex heritage from late Baron Auphor of Verde. Victus Saxor (60) is his oldest son, but because old Auphor remarried, founded a new House and had 3 more children, there was big media interest in Duke Victus' final decision. The testament reading took place half a year ago.

Premiering night for Ravenwood Movie

(Year 234, Fall) This Saturday was the premiere night for Plumbob Pictures' latest movie "My Late Sister in Ravenwood". The event took place at PBP Studio in Del Sol Valley, and both press an fans gathered by the entrance to get a glimpse of the moviestars.

This movie is a thriller drama involving afterlife. It is the official comback of actress Fedibeth Tapper, who was not seen in a leading role for 16 years. Also Chaos Kessler (yes, the Noldus the Clown actor) has his very first lead in this production.

Maz Bank is coming

(Year 234, Fall) Kingdom of Mazaloom now gets its first national bank: Maz Bank. In the past, Sim City First Trust Bank (SimNation) operated our nation, with offices in most regions. But now their organization covering Mazaloom has been separated from the main consern, renamed and sold. Maz Bank is reality!

This means that changes are coming to residents having a bank account with Sim City First Trust Bank, but also those owning shares in the Sim City bank. Both bank accounts and ownership will be transferred to the new bank, Maz Bank. All affected were already informed and must take action to avoid the move.

Mr Robert Sutton (59) has been the CEO of Sim City First Trust Bank's affairs in Mazaloom up to now. He served the Magnolia Promenade office for two decades, but will now be CEO of Maz Bank instead. The office will be renamed, but most customers will not notice many changes beyond the new logo.

Who were the Best Payed Artists?

(Year 234, Fall) Now that we finally got a national Top 10 list for music albums, in addition to similar lists for film & TV and books, we might wonder what celebrity made the better bonus last year? The lists have multiple purposes. Yes, they list the most suiccessful releases of Year 233, but they are also used to pay out bonuses to those involved with the productions.

Pay checques are not always sparkling in the entertainment industry, but being involved with a successful production might assure a little exra. And it turns out that some celebrities actually got a lot of that little extra!

Royal Palace Office Reacts to new Romance Service

(Year 234, Fall) Today the Royal Palace Office (RPO) reacts to a web service that was released recently. Two residents working as Relationship consultant and Matchmaker published their services, including a complete list of all residents nation wide, who are single per date. They claim that all information is already public in the official residents registry.

- We can not tolerate that Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Emireza is listed as single on a web service obviously intended for match making, it says in a fresh press release from RPO.

The two residents responsible for the new webpage claim they have no intention of matching residents with the Crown Princess.

Mazaloom Media

(Year 234, Fall) Some residents are more into marketing than others. While most of us are happy with as little publicity as possible, most Movie stars, Musicians and Authors want their face on the wall to sell their name and perhaps also their latest product. So where do they go to arrange this extra marketing?

A company named Mazaloom Media has moved into the 2nd story of Gallery Ex-Po in Newcrest. There their Manager, Mrs Cassandra G. Mux-Raisser, has her office, a creative lab, and not to forget the show rooms where customers can explore already created designs, as well as find some inspiration.

Cassandra is rather new in her job, but she already enjoys her new role. She likes the challenge of matching the different celebrities with the different products and designs. Judith Ward is a costumer, and so is singer Olla Jones. But there are many more, including the Royal Palace Office.

Penny Pizzazz and Leon Roxenfox surprised Fans

Included was the movie «Love You all the Way to Ciudad Enamorada», a film with a local approach and that naurally sold very well at ticket offices all over region Advorton. Guests had bought tickets to the event in advance, but they had no idea that two special guests would attend! 

Yes, that is right, the lead roles actors surprised everyone who had attended! It surely became a film night they will not forget anytime soon. Penny Pizzazz (56) and Leon Roxenfox (39) took the time to talk with their fans, sharing some not-yet-known facts from the production, and of course signing autographs.

Butterflies and Moths

(Year 234, Summer) Entomology is gaining more attention these days, and Simmerville community pages now provides a list of the most actual butterflies and moths. Landgraab Science Lab has focused on insects for decades, and is now hiring a Scientist Entomologist. This big focus on our tiny bewinged friends is nothing new, it just gained recent popularity.

But first, let's take a quick look to Empire of Snorthia where butterflies have been a big deal for several centuries!
