Imperial visit to Green Gate

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor visited Green Gate earlier today in the first ever imperial visit to an Austenasian Territory.

Emperor Jonathan I in Green Gate earlier today.

Green Gate was annexed last month, and is comprised of a wooded area bordering a golf course.

This marks the first time that Jonathan I has visited an Austenasian claim other than his home city of Wrythe and the nearby Crown Dependency of Rushymia since Zephyria and Thanasia were ceded to the United Kingdom in 2017.

The geographical proximity of Green Gate to Wrythe – both being enclaves of south London – facilitated the ease of planning the visit.

While in Green Gate, the Emperor raised the Austenasian Star and surveyed the area.

Jonathan I was unable to be received by Lord Zarel Smith, Governor of Green Gate, due to the latter falling ill, but a meeting between the two is planned for the summer.
