Sunday 20th December saw two new Towns formed in the Empire of Austenasia.

Blue Ridge, which was founded in July as an uninhabited Territory, became a Town after it expanded to claim a neighbouring residential property.
The second new town is New Flat Rock, a property claimed from North Carolina for Austenasia by its residents and owner.
Both new towns have a population of five, and so have boosted Austenasia’s population by ten to one hundred and nineteen, a new record.
Lady Addison Dillon, governor of Blue Ridge while it was a territory, has been appointed its Acting Representative now it is a town. The now Lord Hunter Prater, who led the initiative of claiming New Flat Rock for Austenasia, has been made its Acting Representative and granted the title Count of Henderson.
