Press Release

The Treasury Department has long been considered one of the King’s “pet†projects. Before he ascended to the throne, he began the process of restructuring the department, and has since taken a keen interest in its success. With the introduction of the Community Grants Program (CGP) in year 4, he signaled that the past was the past, and the successes and transparency was the now, and the future.

Minister Bashir Harun has stepped down as the head of the Treasury Department as he is being named the Ambassador to The Evenstar, with immediate effect. Deputy Minister Michael Alegino will assume the responsibilities and position as the new Minister of the Treasury. As this week’s Cabinet Meeting, the King stated that as the Evenstar is our Kingdom’s most important ally, he could think of no finer, no more capable representative. Ambassador Harun will be formally presented to King Thalmor of The Evenstar at a ceremony in the coming days.

With the change in leadership, a series of additional shakeups and promotions are coming. At Ambassador Harun’s request, Deputy Ministers Sr Neil P. Ensign (Trade) and Christia Browning (Agriculture) will be assigned to the Evenstar Embassy.
