Former Prime Minister Cornelis N?ss wanders the venue absentmindedly, nibbling at select entries. Gnejsian Ambassador Extraordinary to the Council of IDU States, Nicho Thistle walks a few steps behind him, playing a game of Angry Mallards on his mobile phone device.
This was the life of Cornelis N?ss, post the 2015 general elections; representing the Prosaic Union abroad, eating cheeses, shaking hands. The former Prime Minister had embraced the boredom, and it had made him even gloomier.
"So, this is the famous cheese festival, eh, Thistle? This is basically what you and the rest of the CIDUS managed to put together during the last term?"
"Yes, Cornelis, this is it. It actually is a time-honored IDU-tradition, but I'm not surprised that you're oblivious to the fact." answered Thistle, without looking up from his screen.
"Don't get smart with me, young man. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me, you know. Fuck lot of good it did though, sending you here; are you really going to abolish the council? Not that it makes any difference, should've kept to ourselves, we should've, like we always did." N?ss was of the 'isolationist' persuasion, and was tenderly refered to as 'the hermit' within Gnejs.
"Like you always did, rather. My appointment was continuing a Gnejsian tradition of interregional cooperation. But yeah, the council is being abolished. Just texted my vote in favor, actually."
N?ss lets out a disapproving growl before continuing: "What are you doing instead? I'm assuming you're not going to stop leaching off of the national coffers anytime soon, just a bump in the road, eh?"
"The schnauzers have a plan lined up, we'll be fine. So, are you going to cast your vote anytime soon, so we can be done with this?"
"Cheese, yes, that's right. Say, Thistle, did the Bears really vote for themselves? Is that some kind of Urrish tradition?"
Thistle leafs through a folder he's been carrying under his arm. "Yeah, they did. No big deal, you can vote for our entry, if you like."
"Brown cheese, are you kidding me? I'm sick of it, makes me dream about goats, it does. This was rather tasty, Thistle, which one is this?"
Thistle looks through his papers again. "Eh, seems to be some sort of cheese related product from Boricuastan, yeah I believe that's the one."
"Eloquent as always, Thistle. Put us down for that one. What about these two?"
"That's Yeldan Kl?llen?ot?n and the other one is Kennyite Fluffy Cloud."
"What's a Kennyite? The Yelda tastes nice."
"Yelda and OMGTKK are old outer-regional allies. Long-time friends of the IDU. Both prominent WA-members. Seriously, N?ss, how do you not know these things?"
"Bah, foreign affairs are for fairies. They make a good cheese, though. Put me up for a Yelda and the fluff. Are we done, then?"
"Yelda is the country, not the cheese. But, yeah, we're done. I'll send your vote to the secretariat."
