———————

NATION IS STUNNED BY NEWS

 

It was announced by his private estate at 10:45am to-day that Vladimir Kudryavtsev, the leader of Lanorth, who retired to rest in fair health, died peacefully in his sleep early this morning of lung-related issues caused by his constant smoking habits. In accordance with the constitution, his deputy, Nicholas Brezhnev, has immediately been notified of General Kudryavtsev's passing and has immediately become the leader of Lanorth.

The family of the General received the news on an island off the coast of Lanorth, during the night, that he had passed away peacefully in his sleep. They immediately took a flight to the estate where he passed away. Not much information has been revealed as of yet as the story was only recently released, as more information is due to pour in within the next few hours or so.

The nation has begun to mourn the loss of their great General. The nation has entered a week-mourning period. All schools have been shut down for that week as well as the majority of businesses and non-essential supermarkets. The national anthem is being sung across the country and a two-minute is due to to be held soon in his honour.
