"... That is why, on this day, the Island of Aeluria is declaring independence from the Federation of Lauchenoiria."
Archbishop Patrick propped himself up on the table, forefinger and thumb straddling his chin. Vernon McCoy, his Defense Secretary, stood over his shoulder.
"You think this got something to do with Isiah Thomas or Philip Reed?" McCoy inquired.
"No. Reed is in Gonhog, and I doubt Thomas would start a coup somewhere else. They got their minds set on us."
The Foreign Minister, Alvon Russo, chimed in, "Your Excellency, we must decide what we will do with this whole Aeluria thing."
"Of course, release a statement saying we are against any conflict. Of course, I'd must rather have a united Lauchenoria then another communist country.? He shivers, then continues, "Communists have only destroyed our Church." With this, the Archbishop does the Sign of the Cross.
Russo cleared his throat, "Your Excellency, there already has BEEN conflict..."
The Archbishop sighed, "Of course there already was. Are the prime minister and president safe?"
"Unknown, sir."
"We really need to get some embassies set up. Alvon, that's your new project after this. As for you, McCoy, see to that northern border. The Gonhogians are getting a bit rowdy..."
