	The industrial supremacy of the Kingdom of Aontas has increasingly come under threat of exhaustion. Aontan iron deposits, though extensive and the envy of the civilized world, are failing to meet the ambitious industrialization quotas set by the Royal Fund under King Matthias. To alleviate this problem, and quell Aontas' hunger for iron, the kingdom is in the process of investigating the viability of iron deposits located to Aontas east, across the Malatar river, in the sparsely populated Utover region. If found acceptable for the Royal Fund's purposes, the areas in which these deposits lie will be peacefully incorporated into the Kingdom of Aontas, and their native inhabitants generously granted full Aontan citizenship and the many rights and privileges theretofore afforded. The plans offered forth by parliament recommend dividing the region into two provinces for more effective local administration, in the fashion of Folam; King Matthias has been receptive to this proposal. Local leaders of the communities of Utover are unfortunately unavailable for comment at this time. However, it can of course be safely assumed by all that they are overjoyed to be welcomed into the highly prosperous and successful Aontan community, and that their joy in joining the kingdom is outdone only by the joy of the rest of Aontas in welcoming them. 

Divinity praise and mankind uphold the Kingdom of Aontas!
