Soldiers in the DEN Army surrendering.

          Nations around the world are rejoicing after the news that the murderous organization DEN has fallen. Sources are unsure of what has caused this to happen, but most of the army's high command has been captured and sentenced based upon the various war crimes they have committed. Below is a list detailing five of the army's high command that have already been charged.

          This is a relief to many defender armies across the world, including Lazarus' own Lazarus Liberation Army, who no longer have a prime threat to worry about. Nations are relieved as they no longer have to pool absurd amounts of money into their militaries in order to prevent invasions by strong armies with the likes of DEN.

          Civil unrest is brooding in Lazarus. Experts believe this may be linked to the nomination of Horse as Grand Commandant of the Guards, where many residents feel Loftegen overstepped his boundaries as Sovereign. However, no one is completely sure as to why war has broken out between many of Lazarus' most prosperous nations. Caldariat currently hopes to secure a spot as a Grand Advisor, a role that protects the security of Lazarus. However, the nation has made numerous attempts to launch nuclear weaponry at not only the nation of Frankender, but also the region's leader, Loftegen. Frankender's navy has been seen patrolling foreign waters in an attempt to defuse the rising tension in Lazarus.

          Speaking of Caldariat, the Grand Assembly is currently holding a vote on whether to accept or reject the nation as a new Grand Advisor in Lazarus. Follow the link below to vote; however, before you do so, ask yourself if you trust a nation full of nuclear threats as a figurehead of security in Lazarus.

Citizens of Lazarus voting in the Grand Assembly of the Phoenix.

          Former Director of Ceremonies Starberry has resigned from her post as director after winning a term and serving for for under one month. Sources are unaware as to why this resignation has come in place so soon into her term as director, which only leads us to speculate. With Starberry's resignation, Deputy Director of Ceremonies Caldariat is currently heading the Grand Assembly.

          As stated in the previous section, Caldariat has applied to become a new Grand Advisor after being voted out in his last attempt. In addition, Horse has been nominated by Sovereign Loftegen to serve as the newest Grand Commandant of the Guards in the Lazarus Liberation Army. He was previously appointed by Loftegen as Acting Grand Commandant, but after the Grand Court's deciscion in Funkadelia v. Loftegen, this was ruled unconstitutional by the constitution of Lazarus. In addition, Frankender has been nominated as the next Minister of Steward of Lazarus.

          Voting for Horse's nomination as the Grand Commandant of the Guards and Frankender's nomination as the Minister Steward is expected to open within the next few days.
