 Legislatures Across Hermistan Depart on their Journeys to Hermbul

Across Hermistan, the anticipation of the Federal Conference has caused both hopes and fears among the population for what their government will decide. Now, about a week before the Conference, the Legislatures, with the exception of Hermbul, have begun to venture toward the seat of the High Council, the Berm, and the Hall of the Hermbul Legislature where the Federal Conference will take place in the city of Hermbul. The farthest Legislatures departed last week, but this day marks the time when the government is shut down in most of Hermistan, with the exception of the State of Hermbul which will continue proceedings as normal.

Under the third amendment to the Hermistan Book of Law, as signed by Berm Cornberticus the III of Pherton, when a Legislature is unable to perform its duties to its region and said inability is caused by a requirement of this book, the Governor shall remain to control the army, and other applicable services until there is such a time when the Legislature may reconvene. This law allows the Governor to deal with federal affairs in the state while the Federal Conference is going on in Hermbul, and to make sure that the peace is kept and defended.

The only problem is that the GHLL has still not appointed a Governor and will not be able to do so until after the Conference. Its standing executive, Cornibus, was given the title of chancellor and placed under a position of limited command.

  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 ...
