VOCRYAE: The heart of the Confederation, The Shadow Cult of Jocospor, will be absent from NationStates from January 1st to February 1st 2020.

The move comes after a particularly taxing series of months for the Imperial Empire. "Administrative systems require revising in the wake of the Second Jocospite Civil War," one spokesman said.

Some have criticised His Excellency Murdoch Kellner, who has only just been appointed 8th Viceroy of the Confederation. "Surely he doesn't need a break just yet?" a Valeroxian janitor exclaimed.

In light of Kellner's absence, Imperial Law mandates that the Chancellor of the Supreme Judiciary take over operations of the Confederation. Consequently, Depackya's Aleksandr Ivanov will serve temporarily as Acting-Viceroy.

The Imperial Empire is confident that the Confederation will continue to prosper in its absence.

Kellner: "I will be leaving many instructions for my Supreme Council to act upon."

In this month of relief, the Imperial Empire will also be turning its attentions to locating a legitimate candidate for the Imperial Throne.

"I look forward to reestablishing the Seuiwerd line," said Rogger Wolfe, Jocospor's first Regent. "Somehow."

Confederation nations wishing to contact the Imperial Empire during its absence should do so via the Supreme Council. Unless in the event of a regional emergency, the Imperial Empire will have no dealings on NationStates.

Wolfe and his family have confirmed that they will be remaining in Vocryae. Kellner and his wife, Audrey, will be holidaying by the beach in Tosselton.
