Article. The Office of the Governing Commissioner has sought to reassure citizens and outside observers alike in light of the proclamation of an imperial regency. In a surprise to many, His Imperial and Majestic Highness Emperor Aggelos I of Imvrassia has been proclaimed prince regent on behalf of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, Jonathan I. The announcement comes following the overhaul of the imperial line of succession on 5 April 2024. New South Scotland was annexed to Austenasia with the imperial ascension of Jonathan I in 2013. Then a New Wessaxian colony, New South Scotland's sovereignty was transferred as a gift to Jonathan I by the outgoing emperor. As such, any disruptions to the rule of Jonathan I are particularly sensitive within New South Scotland. The Empire of Imvrassia has long maintained a foothold on the Australian continent, formerly counting the territory of Urabbaparcensia as an Imperial Hegemony. This masthead can confirm Urabbaparcensia's ties to Imvrassia were suspended in the days prior to the regency proclamation. Nonetheless, the historical presence of Austenasian and Imvrassian territories on the Australian continent creates the potential for political horsetrading. A set of imperial decrees issued by Jonathan I also award New South Scotland special privileges within the Austenasian system, giving his legacy increased significance within the Crown Dependency. Seeking to reassure the public via a statement to the Gazette, Governing Commissioner McFarlane confirmed his office received imperial guarantees that the regency would not affect New South Scotland's governance arrangements "at all". "I am pleased to confirm New South Scotland remains as secure within the Empire today as it was yesterday. I will continue my work to preserve our special place in the micronational order. It is believed the Office of the Governing Commissioner received the imperial guarantees in the days leading up to the regency's public announcement. The statement went on to clarify that "as always... all necessary steps will be taken to preseve the political and territorial integrity of New South Scotland, now and into the future." To commermorate the occassion, the Office of the Governing Commissioner has released a Gubernatorial Decree congratulating Aggelos I on his appointment. The decree also offers Jonathan I the Crown Dependency's "best wishes and continuing appreciation as he undertakes a deserved period of rest". Quadrangle Gazette, 30/04/2024
