The State of the Empire Address: We need more Cow Bell!

My fellow Dorks and Loyal subjects;

As it stands in our glorious nation, we are young and unrefined. We need to reach our full potential, for i have a fever. The only cure for this fever is more Cow Bell! I hope to communicate to you, my loyal subjects, my plans to bring the cow bell to our nation and its peoples.

The first step is to define the leadership. In that mind, I do hereby declare Kelly the Foerchy to be Empress of the New Imperial Republic of DorkdemGoverness of Nerdwinia (our bedroom), and my Major-Domo. She has lead our like minded brothers and sisters to victory and has excellent management skills brought forth in the war torn World.........of Warcraft. Her responsibilities are to be the adjunct to our Warcraft brethren and sisteren, the governing of Nerdwinia and it's counties (the closet, the computer table, the bed, etc.,) and my second in command to all things pie and pie related topics. Do welcome her to our country and give her more respect than you would me, or i'll pay for it. (seriously, she gets mad, i get mad, evil cycle, don't start it.)

This, in turn, leads me to my second order of business; the acknowledgement and annexation of our newly founded territory and there leaders.

First is Dan, governor of Danganistan, Isle off the coasts of Ardenia. His new founded territory of Danganistan (ie, his house and car), are rich in the vital resource of crude geektronium. A vital resource used in countless industries like tech support, teaching, gaming, and much much more. As of now, we are in talks with the reprisentives of Danganistan (his wife and kids, maybe his cat) to make them full fledged members of our Republic.

Second is Danni Governess of Almos' Comfy Chair, on the europeon continent. For many years she has protected her realm from space invaders, Dr.Robotnik's minions, King Koopa's evil troopers, and many different forms of zombie. Her province's ability to refine geektronium into the final product of Pwnage is unsurpassed, even by myself. Please welcome her to our nation with open arms and freind requests.

Third is my throne provence of My'Couchia, (my living room) where i hand down Imperial edicts and defend the lands from super mutants and give Rad-Away to others for charity.

Let us welcome these new member provences with high-fives and freind requests. On to other business of our goals.

Now that we have the ability to discuss and even vote on legislation to make our country more fitting to our needs. Most of these things may be decided with an imperial decree, but i wish to make the governing proccess as equal as possible as dictated by my duties in our constitution.

The economic structure of our nation is an important thing; it will be the standard unto which we will trade within our borders. With that in mind, i have decided that we must decide on three major points in our government. Those points are as follows:
  • We will need a regulatory commision with a cool acronym to make sure trade and business transactions are handled honestly and without lameness.
  • We have to have a neat currency, maybe something with griffons, dragons, and/or space-ships on it. I will decide its exchange rate. Which in turn, will be regulated by the previously mentioned reggulatory commision.
  • We must then setup a super simple structure the licensing and taxation of businesses in our borders; its annoying process, but i'm pretty good at monopoly, and Kelly is better, so i think we can handle it.
Allong with the creation of a common coin of the land, we will need to further define our identity and thusly we will need to have the following artistic shiny stuff:
  • The creation of the official Imperial Seal; so i can look all official and stuff. (and Seals for each provence, but that goes without saying, thats the governor's responsibility.)
  • A really cool flag, because, like all the COOL countries are doing it.
Lastly, we will need to get together an Armed Force of somesort. We should put forth a discussion of which games, resources, and nerf products will be the focus of those things, and how they should be implimented. The proccess of this discussion must take into account the availibility of these resources and the needs of our future soldiers.

In closing, i wish to thank you all for reading this, and i hope that all of our new contempararies come to respect one another. May Google bless us all.

So is Signed,

JohnWedd II, Governor of My'Couchia, Liker of Pie, and Emporer of the New Imperial Republic of Dorkdem.
