<strong class='bbc'>Major Reform of Foreign Affairs Passed</strong>
Recently TNI has undergone one of the biggest reforms in its history with the passing of The Foreign Affairs and Reich Elector Amendment. This controversial piece of legislation, written by then Reich Chancellor Sir Charles Cerebella, removes the control of foreign affairs from the RC and gives it to the Reich Elector. The reasoning for this was that the longer term lengths of the RE would mean that whoever holds the position has more time to build up important foreign contacts and is able to pursue a ,pre consistent policy. Furthermore, the specialisation of the two executive portfolios of Reich Elector and Chancellor would mean that each area of domestic and foreign policy should achieve the undivided attention they both deserve.

The New Inquisition Armed Forces advance into Valhalla</strong>
Once again the FRA has been proved unable to resist the supremacy of The New Inquisiton in battle. In addition to the weaknesses now emerging in the FRA's military tactics, this inability is due to the fact of The New Inquisition Armed Forces' unrelenting strength. However, it is also a reflection of the triumph of imperialist ideology and cooperation between sovereign regions over the remnant oligarchy of an inactive morass which believes it has the right to violate TNI sovereignty, notably in Valhalla, and expect no consequence.
For however briefly, following the founder of Valhalla ceasing to exist, TNIAF was able to reclaim Valhalla in October 2011 to widespread delight across the region. To symbolise the gratitude which the region feels toward TNIAF for bringing glory to the region, the Kaiserin later announced that 13th December, the day of TNI's original historic Battle of Valhalla in 2006, shall be a regional holiday known as Valour Day. Globally, recognition for TNIAF's distinguished military status stands in stark contrast to the decadence which is setting in within the FRA Rangers. TNI would like to thank our allies, notably Europeia, The LKE, The Black Hawks, The Imperial Legion and The Black Riders, for their continued strong military support.
Since our last update, TNIAF has taken part in or reinforced the following operations inaddition to the conquest of Valhalla:
Farkistan
Everon
Lost
Epic Island
The Free Peoples Movement PLA
The Proletariat Coalition
Valhalla
Anarchy
Holy Orthodox Empire
North Atlantic
Ohio
TWOTonia
The Dancing Sharks Region
Caliphate
Vorlon
North Carolina
North Atlantic and North Carolina, the latter an operation led by Europeia, in particular are notable as mass displays of the force which the imperialist world can generate, putting regions well beyond the capability and size of the FRA and UDL invasion forces. TNI would also like to thank raider comrades for their support, having conducted multiple operations with The Black Hawks, and highlight TNI's role in the occupation of The Proletariat Coalition by Unknown, a success which carries on from TNI's invasions of the Marxist Leninist Party and the Allied States of EuroIslanders as RLA regions.
As a result of the fine performance of TNIAF, a new system to reward meritorious conduct by soldiers has been established. Additionally, Commander OnderKelkia has announced a new command team, appointing North East Somerset as Deputy Commander with C. I. Cerebella, Afgambistan and r3naissanc3r also receiving general officer ranks.

Reich Chancellor Wullamudulla</strong>
Wullamudulla has been recently elected as Reich Chancellor unopposed after the end of Sir Charles Cerebella's term. The first Reich Chancellor elected to the position after it assumed sole control of domestic areas, Wullamudulla's campaign focused on on maintaining the recent recruitment levels with the aim of reaching 500 nations once again by the end of the term and building on the culture projects of the last term. Having served for some time now as a Richter of the Reich Court of Justice, Wullamudulla resigned that position to return to active politics. Though not having served in the executive for over a year, Wullamudulla is still one of TNI's most experienced politicians having served as Culture Secretary many times as well as Deputy Reich Chancellor, War Secretary, Colonial Secretary, Lord President, Minister for Information and Minister for Recruitment and Naturalisation.Â
The new cabinet is as follows,

<strong class='bbc'>New Reich Elector Elected</strong>
Following the resignation earlier this month of the Marquis of the Nordmark, Joshua IX, the position of Reich Elector was made available. The two time Reich Elector Sir Charles Cerebella, Duke of Brunswick, put his name forward and was elected unopposed by the Reichstag. Sir Charles Cerebella brings great experience to the role and has promised to release an update swiftly as well as appoint a more inexperienced member as Vice-Reich Elector to enable them to gain some experience.
<strong class='bbc'>400 nations!</strong>
After a brief lull during November our recruiters have upped their game once more and TNI has torn through the 400 nation barrier! With 405 nations at the time of writing The New Inquisition currently stands 17th largest in NS and has bright hopes for the future if our recruiters keep up their current stirling work!
<strong class='bbc'>Treaties!

The Delegates of TNI and EoE negotiating the Treaty of Brunswick</strong>
The Reichstag is currently processing two treaties, one a Non-Aggression and Cultural Treaty between TNI and Lazarus and one, The Treaty of Brunswick, between TNI and Empires of Earth. We are looking forward to the celebrations when both are finally ratified.
<strong class='bbc'>TNI - Euro Relations on the Up</strong>
In the past couple of months The New Inquisition and our valued allies Europeia have held two successful conferences. The first, dealing with diplomatic and military affairs, was held on Euro's forums and resulted in new commitments of regular raids together which has recently been translated into action in our joint-op in North Carolina. The second, held in TNI, was the scene of some closely fought spam games and a rather grand ball.
<strong class='bbc'>Statement on The Kodiak Republic</strong>
Following the recent seizure of power by Rykkland in The Kodiak Republic and the removal of their democratically elected government I would like to state TNI's disappointment at this act of tyranny. For a region which has always prided itself on its democratic nature, this act of utter hypocrisy is pitiable and we extend our sympathies to those affected.
