 Governor of Great Hermlake Impeached

After losing the support of the Conspiracy Theorists, the number of representatives supporting the current Governor of the Great Hermlake Legislature were few in number, since many of the representatives believed that the Governor was responsible for starting the Christmas Coup by challenging the Berm’s authority. In a vote for impeachment that was started by a Bill signed by forty members of the Legislature (double the required twenty). Thus, the Governor’s position was brought into question.

The Bill contained claims of fraud, manipulation, and not fairly representing the wishes of the Legislature. The Governor’s defense was that he never meant to start a coup and that he was just trying to reinforce the ruling of the Legislature and uphold the Law in Hermistan. After a day or so of careful deliberation and consideration, the Legislature voted in favor of impeachment, 165 to 49. This time, the Berm respected the Legislature’s decision, fearing that doing otherwise might start another coup and endorsed a little known candidate from Old Hermlake City named Cornibus to be the next Governor.

Though not always the case, the Berm’s candidate has a much higher chance of winning the Governorship. In fact, according to Hermistani political scholar, Oatbucker III, nine out of ten Governors elected in the past twenty years have received the Berm’s endorsement. He said later that this will be a difficult campaign for Cornibus because the Conspiracy Theorists will undoubtedly be trying to sneak their way back into power by supporting a favorable candidate, so they can once again regain control of the Legislature with less than a quarter of the total votes. Such corruption is discouraged and often tried in court, but it has been done before, and it could happen again if the Legislature doesn’t keep an eye out for incoming scandals.

  Homeless Duff Herm Guild Protests Against Large Scale Advertisement The HDHG, the largest free Duff Herm organization in the country, have begun nationwide protests, some revolving into uncontrollable mobs, that have gathered in the country’s largest cities to protest big advertisements and billboards. The Department of Emergency Management says that, “Two hundred billboards worth a grand total of 1,900 Herm Dollars were destroyed by protesters.” While the Department (which is largely run by members of the HDHG) discusses their next move, the Homeless Duff Herm Guild has started a massive mobilization of militias across the country. The leaders of the guild have been silent about their intentions, but the members of the militias believe that they are needed to protect Hermistan from some unknown external threat. Currently, around a thousand Duff Herms march to the border of the Umbucci Clan of Stanistan, leading them is legendary General Jim Kurt.  One HermPost reporter ...

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
