The end of the year is almost upon us, and that means it's time to do elections again. This time around we will be using BallotBin at the suggestion of King Connor. The polls will stay open until December 31, and the winners will be announced and take office on January 1. I feel that our Order is at a crossroads. We have been around long enough that we have a small but definite presence in the community, and that's good. However, I feel that we are slowing down and stagnating, due in no small part because of my lack of leadership. The truth of the matter is that I have not had the time to devote myself fully to my grand magisterial duties as I should have. I beseech you: do not vote for me just because I have been the driving force behind the Order up until this point. Vote for whoever you believe has the vision, enthusiasm and maturity to lead and inspire the Order into its second year and beyond. Register to vote here. |

Ah, the time has come again! Thank you everyone who voted for me last time. I may have done little as Grand Marshal, but I guarantee that if we were in the right moment, I would have done a lot for the Order. Regardless of my title, I do what I can to provide practical information to the Order, and I plan to keep on that. Good luck everybody and I promise to be nice if you vote for me again  |

It still astounds me just how many kings are in this order. Four kings out of a total of eight or so members.

I've tried to make fellow Trebians join the Order. But it's pretty difficult, since I'm the only guy who uses the Internet among them.

Lack of internet shouldn't stop them from joining if they really want to. There shouldn't be a problem with you applying on their behalf, as long as they fully understand the significance of the knighthood and find ways to be active offline.

You are right. However, what I mean is that they do not have access to Internet. Just that I am the only one who likes to post on forums. The others find it "too boring". But I like your idea. If I speak on behalf of them, there should be no troubles! I need to find a way to explain the Knighthood to them.

My brothers in faith, greetings!
As I said on another occasion and also to our friend, the King of Trebia, I'm very busy with micronational studies and I have little time to everything and the few time left to micronational affairs is absorbed by Ruthenia.
I am very much aware that I'm indebted with our Order and by coming here, I was afraid to see an order for my expulsion.
I realize that my last contribution here was a coat of arms for the order, I thought it was not delivered and therefore relieves me a bit to know that the project has been seen by you.
If God allows me, after January 11, I will have passed the examination of the Order of Lawyers and then, be able to be more present and contribute more to our cause.
Of any sort, I already voted.
But I would say that our current Grand Master, albeit modest, is an excellent leader and desire to be him or his successor, continue doing a great job.
To our brothers, I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and if God allows, I can enjoy more of your companies in the near future!
Respectfully, |

Ha! Don't worry. I don't think we would kick you out of the Order for being busy! We understand your situation. We wish you good luck in your affairs. I wish you as well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Gloria in Excelsis Deo! |

The results of the December 2015 officer election are in. Thanks to all who took time to vote and determine the future of the Order for the next six months.
The results are as follows:
Grand Master: King Paolo Emilio I of Trebia
Grand Marshal: Sir Christopher Woods of Quailia
Chancellor: Sir Benedict Baughman of Quailia
These officers formally take office on January 1, and their terms will last until the next slate of officers assume command at the beginning of July, 2016.
I'd like to give you all my heartfelt thanks for allowing me to serve as your Grand Master this past year. Due to y'all's commitment, I've seen the Order grow from just an idea into an effective and active micronational organization. It has been a wonder and a joy. I wish Grand Master Paolo the best, and I look forward to serving you as Chancellor.
