The Hanover World Report

INSIDE ST. GEORGE'S PALACE   Today, the Hanover World Report is pleased to offer our readers a special and rare glimpse inside what may be the best known yet most mysterious place in all of Great Hanover, St. George’s Palace.   Home to Hanoverian monarchs since the days of King Alexander, St. George’s Palace, named in honour of St. Edward the Confessor, is instantly recognizable, both to Bergen residents and tourists the world over, yet few have any idea what life is really like behind those gilded gates and granite walls.     Erected by royal architect Sir Lutyens Wren Pugin somewhere between the years 1767 and 1978, St. George’s has for decades served as the backdrop for glittering court ceremonies, outrageous scandals, and predictable palace intrigues. Her fabled history aside, however, St. George’s has simply been the place which our head of state calls “home”.    Here, our monarch lives, works, eats, and sleeps, eats again, and in this place o...

  All the news which nobody reads but you. HANOVERIAN PARLIAMENT RESUMES AMID FLUMMERY AND TINSEL Bergen, Hanover In just a matter of moments, the Parliament of Great Hanover will be formally opened with all the pomp and circumstance of an artificial Christmas tree which has crashed to the ground after being knocked over by the family dog. The King’s Speech, also known as the “Gracious Speech”, also known as the “Throne Speech” (there are, like, ten more options believe it or not) typically lays out the government’s legislative agenda for the coming session. Palace sources tell us, however, that this particular Throne Speech will not do anything like that, so, you know, okay, whatever.   Way to throw us a total curve ball, lady…is what I said to our source at the palace before she hung up on me. What we know for sure is that this King’s Speech isn’t going to win any academy awards. Now that they’ve done away with the House of Commons, all the fun parts of this ceremo...

  THE HANOVER WORLD REPORT "All the news that nobody reads but you" THE HANOVER WORLD REPORT RETURNS The Hanover World Report was the Kingdom of Hanover’s first media outlet, and it’s back after many, many, many years. Dedicated to current events in the Kingdom of Hanover and in other miniature polities, The Hanover World Report delighted/annoyed the 11 people who sometimes read it, with its signature tongue-in-cheek wit, stellar reporting (by which we mean dumb yuk-yuks and dirty lies), and its distinct smell of onions. After so long an absence from the Hanoverian media scene, the Report is pleased to restore, at last, this unsatisfying yellow journalism experience to our readers, who by now are mostly either dead or in prison. Thanks for waiting these past 17 years or so for the next issue of the Report to come your way. Oh, stop your griping. No, we aren’t going to refund your subscription; get bent. Better late than never. MEET THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD...
