Abdication

[Nathan]

As my final act as Holzer Kaiser I hereby name Johann Boyen as Arch-Steward of Holzborg and President of the Holzer Federation. May he enjoy full sovereign privileges as head of state and government of the independen Holzer Empire.

The Bovic Empire of Natopia shall administer the sovereign lands of Holzborg until such a time as when the government of Holzborg deems itself ready to take back full administration.

Therefore these provisions en force and to be carried out by the Arch-Steward, I hereby abdicate the throne of Holzborg.

Signed,
HSRM Nathan,
Bovic Emperor of Natopia,
with authority as former Kaiser of Holzborg

[Johann Boyen]

I thank the honourable former Kaiser, the Bovic Emperor Nathan, for his magnanimous contributions to the survival of the Holzer people and nation during the difficult time he presided over. I accept his appointment as Arch-Steward and President and hope that when the final judgement comes and I will be held to account for all that I have done, I shall be held in regard as fit to lick the boot of such a great leader of the Holzer people. All the more so, because he himself was not a Holzer. Three cheers for the Bovic Emperor of Natopia!

Hip hip, huzzah! Hip hip, huzzah! Hip hip, huzzah!
