-CROWNSHIRE, Keithieopia — A rare sight was seen today when a journalist spotted an unassuming courier carrying a wooden box to the Royal Palace.
+CROWNSHIRE, Keithieopia — After consultation with the Chancellory, Emperor Keith invoked his power to dissolve the National Assembly under Title VII Article 9 of the Constitution.
-The Imperial Guards were on high alert, but were in a receptive mood, and allowed the journalist to snap a picture of the box's contents— the Imperial Crown Jewels.
+In last night's address to the nation, the Emperor expressed concern over the National Assembly failure to pass any legislation in over a year.
-Seen in the picture is the Empress's tiara, the Emperor's crown, and the old Keithieopian Empire's golden laurel.
+The timing coincides with the //Dominion Enquirer// exposé on possible embezzlement inside the National Treasury. We are told by sources close to the Emperor that he has been in a deadlock trying to request stricter financial legislation be passed.
+> It is my extreme displeasure to announce that I intend to dissolve the National Assembly should the Chancellory approve my action. Since the Nation will be operating without a legislative branch, I'm calling for an immediate election instead of waiting.
+>
+> — Emperor Keith on Sepday
+We are told the Emperor met with the Chancellory early this morning, who overwhelmingly approved of calling for the dissolution. The High Court is expected to issue a ruling regarding the timing of the election, since the constitution stipulates with-in a full month, but not how early.
+The new Assembly's first legislation is expected to cover the temporary line of succession in the event of a dissolution so that more time can be given for an election in the future. The next legislation will most likely codify laws regarding the National Treasury.
-The golden laurel has never been photographed before and was thought to be lost in transit with the First Consitution of the Empire around 2006.
-The Office of the Emperor could not be reached for immediate comment.
