NEW CENSUS

A new version of the census has been implemented - the old one had become 
too big and therefore too download-heavy. The new version of the census 
contains an index, plus a page for each citizen, with various details.

- One detail of the new design is the possibility for having your picture 
  on the Net. I am therefore calling for pictures of the Principality's 
  subjects, preferably in electronic form, though I can provide limited 
  scanning.

- Electronic images should be supplied in JPEG format, 130 pixels wide by 
  180 pixels high. If you cannot supply images in this format, please 
  supply them in a more information-rich data format.

- Some members of the peerage have yet to determine their coats of arms, 
  mottos, etc.
  If you have any personal wishes, now is the time to let me know, or I'll 
  just hang a blazon on you, willy-nilly.

- The new census pages contain the possibility for an e-mail / homepage 
  link. Does anyone feel that they have forgotten to supply this vital 
  information?

- I would like very much for people to have a look at their own page in the 
  census and check the validity of the information given. Are there any 
  errors or lacunae?

SOCIETAS CORVINIENSIS IS DEAD

As augured in the previous newsletter, Societas Corviniensis is now dead.
Outstanding monies will be reimbursed by the cashier (yours truly). 
This was a good idea, which we'll have to re-invent at a later date.

SUGGESTIONS?

If anybody feels a burning desire to see some detail elaborated upon on 
the pages of Corvinia, for instance by an entry in the Encyclopedia 
Corviniana, please feel free to contact the Ministry of Propaganda (for 
the time being, myself).

REUNION AFFAIR CONTINUES

In recent weeks, the Chancellor of Reunion, Matt Dabrowski, has apparently 
bit off more than he could chew. Whereas Reunion has apparently not paid 
any especial attention to Dabrowski's furor of international diplomatic 
incidents (insulting everyone, left, right and center), the Emperor of 
Reunion has taken offense at an egregious insult offered by Dabrowski to 
the Premier of Reunion, P. Aguiar, in an internal Reunian discussion.
The Emperor has decided to place the Imperial Chancellery under the 
authority of the Premier, which has not hitherto been the case, and this 
has caused Dabrowski to resign. He will, however, continue as a memeber 
of the Imperial Council, wherefore Corvinia does not, at this time, see 
fit to reestablish diplomatic relations with Reunion.

THE PRINCE'S BIRTHDAY - REMINDER

Just a brief reminder of the Prince's Birthday reception:

The reception will be held on April 16, from 6:30-9:00 PM (or later, 
should the Heir be able to stay awake) in the Principality Heartlands:

     (address omitted)
     (enclave within the Kingdom of Denmark)

A light buffet will be served (don't show up with a regimental appetite), 
and soft drinks, wine, and especially beer will be available.


Kindest regards,

Your Prince,

Peter I Ravn
