Curzon Appointed Viceroy of the Persian Gulf!

Dearest Readers,

You may have noticed that I have been posting less frequently for the past few weeks. This is primarily due to the fact that I have been busy preparing to relocate my established residence from the Far East to the southern coast of the Persian Gulf. This is an exciting new journey in my life, and in my career in the service of Her Majesty in governing our beloved Empire, in an exciting region that my learned colleague labeled the “Middle East.”

Curzon in the ME

I will be a guest of the United Arab Emirates, which will serve as my base of operations, but the scope of my assignment will cover the entire region. At minimum I expect to travel to Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. It is also possible that I may also travel to places such as Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Iran—and maybe even Iraq!

As Younghusband will continue at his post in Japan while Chirol and Munro-Ferguson remain in North America, my assignment in the Middle East means that the sun will never set on ComingAnarchy.com (which, of course, we’ve done before). I hope this means that we will be posting even more regularly, and I look forward to sending dispatches from the region in the coming months, once I have safely completed my move.

Curzon, if you don't mind saying, what will you be doing there aside from your viceregal duties? How long do you expect to be there?

LOL, congratulations. This is very exciting! When you need Starfleet, be sure to look to the north.

Congrats!

I, for one, welcome our new colonial overlords.

Congratulations... though of course, our beloved Continental Army will soon liberate these poor Subjects of a cruel & distant Crown...

Chief: governor general. It's not an easy job to swing, but it's a great job if you can get it.

Oh, and Chief, the assignment is initially for a year or two... but you never really know how long these types of missions will last.

LADY Curzon is either excited or a good actress.

Never seen a picture of the historical Lady Curzon before. Actually pretty good looking... if accurate.

The original Lady Curzon was considered a great beauty in her day.

No doubt she is surpassed by the current Lady Curzon, of course.

Welcome to the UAE. I've been here for 3 years and find it's a great place to live.

oh, my apologies.
Just watch out the Lady doesn't convert to Islam.

Since they maintain the Ottoman era system of requiring every resident to register their religion, is religious conversion even legally possible?

Curzon, when they make you register your religion, you should put down "Kaplanite Realist".
