As most of you know, Norway has suffered tragic attack by the hand of a domestic terrorist. He set off a bomb in a government building in Oslo and then gunned down over 80 people at a youth camp on the island of Utoya. Please keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Good Day ladies and gentlemen.
As some of you may know, there are elections upcoming that will determine the leadership of the BCN. I would urge you to vote for the conservative/tory party, our current leadership. During their leadership, the BCN has experianced enormous growth and has become one of the larger groups. Also, as many of you may know, our current King, Arthur Wellesly, and his cabinet delt with the French Commonwealth of Nations witht the utmost effiency. So if you would like to maintain the simple and friendly atmosphere of the British Commonwealth of Nations, vote for the Consevative party.

Good day members of British America. I would just like to thank those who have brought the hundreds of new members to the British Commonwealth of Nations, and would like to encourage others to do the same.
Also, for those who are big fans of Empire: Total War, and are looking for a bit more out of their gameplay, you should consider a mod. There are several great ones out there for ETW, and I can personally say that they increase the challenge and entertainment qualities of the game. For those looking for a greater challenge in the AI, I would suggest Darthmod: Ultimate Commander or Darthmod: Empire, both of witch I would happily endorse as some of the greatest ETW mods. And if you're looking for more uniqueness to each faction, Imperial Splendor will bring that for you. Each faction has almost completely unique units, and the artillery section has been completely overhauled.
Anyway, for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, I wish you a safe and great summer, and encourage you to go out and visit the places where Empire Total War got it's inspiration. The Saratoga, New York area is a wonder place to visit if you have an interest in 18th Century Warfare. Top places to visit are Fort Ticonderoga, Fort WIlliam Henry, and the Battle of Saratoga national battlefield. Good day to you all.
-General William Howe, RA BCN

Ladies and gentelsmen, I am honored to announce my appointment as Minister of British North America by our glorious King, Arthur Wellesley. I'd like to think of myself as friendly and open to criticism, so any questions are welcome. I'd like to get to know all of you, so send me a message about yourself when you're on or chat with me, it would be my pleasure.
On a more serious note, the brother of the traitor IDI has created the French Commonwealth of Nations (FCN). Beware of anyone asking for you to join, and remain vigilent at all times. Report any threatening behavior to Arthur.
I would like to thank our King for my appointment, and you all for any support. God save the King! --General William Howe
