OOC: Id like to nominate lmsw for best story teller...some of them had been pretty good.
And best diplomat would have to be sheep2. What a propaganda machine
IC: The fact that New England had retreated into isolationism had not surprised Prime Minister Chamberlain at all. He was aware that the New English were becoming increasingly dissalusioned by the outside worlds, and were becoming weary of trying to be the worlds beacon of freedom.
Apparently they had decided to simply give up on the world.
He also heard of his counterpart in Boston's retirement, and suddenly the idea of retiring appealed to him very much.
Weeks later, the UK was a nation in moarning, the King Henry had died, and his daughter Victoria had taken the throne.
With retirement of his good Friend Consul Huron, and his other friend George Washington also in retirement, and the death of his noble King. Chamberlain felt that he had reached the end of the time he was able to give to his country.
He realised life was to short to spend in servitude to king and country, and announced his retirement in the wake of the Kings death.
Needless to say the news goes down like a lead balloon with the people of the UK, and many are quite upset.
But it is accepted and elections are called.
