BREAKING NEWS: Metoopia conflict
15.05.2019 – Queen Beatrice, Queen Camilla and Queen Scarlett
Statement Queen Beatrice
Dear people of Dordovan. I write to you today with sad and worrying news. Metoopia has declared a state of war against The Kingdom of Dordovan. When Metoopia and Dordovan parted ways in 1714, Metoopia was not satisfied with this outcome. Therefore, today they want to see Dordovan reunited with Metoopia. We will not allow this. Be sure to know that we will do everything in our power to stop this from happening. Dordovan now and Dordovan forever! As queens we will make sure that no harm will come to our people. Negotiations are being held right at this moment between Dordovan and Metoopia. As always we will keep you posted on further events. All my love, queen Beatrice
Statement Queen Camilla
My dear citizens. As you may have heard, we, The Kingdom of Dordovan, are nearing a war. Metoopia has decided to disturb our peace and happiness. Not only have they broken our trust, they are trying to turn our own citizens against us. I don’t know where they got the idea that we are a woman-hating country, because we are not. Have they forgotten that we are the only country with not one, not two, but THREE queens? We are also the only country next to Metoopia who have women in power. It truly is a sad day. Not only for Dordovan, but for the UBN. However, you should not be scared. Our beloved king Bartley is trying to negotiate with Metoopia. Nevertheless, should a war break out, we have our allies to count on. We will not surrender. We will not leave our citizens. We will protect Dordovan and our rights. Lots of love, queen Camilla.
Statement Queen Scarlett
My beloved citizens, I am giving you terrible news today. Meetopia declared war on us. In 1714 there was a huge conflict between us, resulting in the separation of the two countries. Meetopia has never been able to cope with this. Therefore, they want to reunite Dordovan and Meetopia, but we will not allow this. For hundreds of years, we have lived together in peace, but now they suddenly think otherwise. I would ask you to remain strong and to continue to support Dordovan. We will get out of this together, as long as we continue to believe in it. With lots of love, Queen Scarlett
EXCLUSIVE: The NEW Dordovan scarf
26.04.2019 – Justine Versluys
Have you already heard the news? Probably not, because this just came in 10 MINUTES AGO! As you all know, The Dordovan Council held a press conference at the royal castle at 10 o’clock this morning. There, they revealed a special new collection of The Dordovan Scarf, one exclusively for foreign countries.
The conference kicked off with a small speech from queen Camilla. She repeatedly reminded us of the importance of international trades and how it could give more opportunities for our country.
After this speech, queen Beatrice presented the new collection. She explained that with this exclusive collection, the foreign customers should feel special and elegant, just like the Dordovanian women.
The scarves are just as beautiful as the ones available for the Dordovanian population. There’re three different patterns available: a pink, red and a golden one. Just like the scarves we’re used to, the scarves are made from the finest silk, made by our best weavers.
Of course, we have some exclusive pictures of the new scarves. We wouldn’t be The Dordovan Daily if we didn’t have some exclusive pictures, would we? We can already reveal that we are completely in love with the golden scarf!
King’s Day
22.02.2019 - Katrien Heyvaert
It’s that time of the year again…. King’s Day is coming. The most beautiful day of the year, when all the citizens of Dordovan come together and celebrate the most important person of our country, our King. Of course, there is a reason why we celebrate this brave, kind, handsome man. There is a whole history behind this day: “300 years ago there was a great war between Meetopia and The Kingdom of Dordovan. They were originally one country, but one day the King decided that everyone who wasn’t Catholic should be killed. A lot of people were opposed to that idea, including Bartolomeus David Henry Luke Dordovan. He started a war and ensured that Dordovan became an independent country. It was a long-lasting war with lots of battles but on April 22, 1719, the ‘Meetopians’ were defeated. From that day on we celebrate our brave soldiers and our brave king.” On April 22 we all come together in the town hall and we start celebrating. At 12 o’clock our King gives his annual speech at the big market of Mbrok. After his speech, the party can really start. There will be a lot of different animations. There will be clowns for the kids, all different kinds of food and drinks for the elderly. At 4 o’clock a parade will go through our capital Mbrok. We close the wonderful day with a big firework. Everything will be there to make it the best evening of the year. The party, of course, will not end at 8 PM but will go on the whole night (until the early hours). We hope you are ready to make a wonderful night out of it, we surely are.
Feast of the light
4.02.2019 - Danielle Top
March. A month that will ring a bell in every Dordovanian's mind. Each year on March 22th, we celebrate the Feast of the light. It means spring is coming! No one works on this particular day and everyone goes to the festivities in town.
This year we are going to celebrate a little bit different than other years. The king will make an appearance on his balcony at 6 pm. After that there will be fireworks and more activities all over the city of Mbork. It will be the party of the year!
When did this tradition begin?
Around 200 years ago, The Kingdom of Dordovan only consisted out of farmers. As you all may know, winters can be quite cold here. So when the first rays of sunshine were a fact the farmers would be absolutely over the moon. The had to have been so happy that they invited people over and it would end up being one big feast with lots of food and drinks. Throughout the years we kept this tradition going. It is fair to say that we Dordovanian’s know how to party.
Hope to see you all at the festivities!
