Smilla Eenpalu – Ambassador of Hurmu to the MTO:
Honourable Members,
I regret to inform you that the Secretary General, Jan u-Samil Spiik, has died, along with his wife, Ellen Aarevalla, today in a car accident involving a dragon, in Liderai, in Hurmu.
Jan Spiik was born in Vesüha in 1645 to Samil u-Layn, a school teacher, and Anna Spiik, also a school teacher. Samil is an ethnic Hurmudan and Anna an ethnic Lakkvian. As such, Jan was raised in a bilingual, bicultural home. Upon starting university in 1664, Jan was active in student political movements. He graduated in 1670 with an engineering degree. In parallel to his work as a biochemical engineer, Jan was a local councillor in Nururfiskarvik (a coastal town in northern Hurmu, then Lakkvia) for the Edasi Hurmu party. In 1674, he was elected to the Parliament of Lakkvia. He became the party leader of Edasi Hurmu in 1679. In 1686, the local Lakkvian elections saw a surprise upturn for Edasi Hurmu (who was now campaigning for the establishment of an independent Hurmu state in northern Lyrica). Jan Spiik was therefore invited by King Craitman VII to form a government in Lakkvia with members of other parties. His new government initiated the 1689 referendum on forming a Hurmu state. With the people resoundingly voting in favour of union with Hurmu, he negotiated and signed the Vesüha Accords with the Hurmu Trust Territory, and was named interim prime minister of Hurmu until the 1690 Parlerment elections were over. In these elections, he was elected to the Senate of the Lakes. With his wife, he lead the Senate's committee on foreign affairs. Unlike his wife, he stood for re-election in 1695, and he was duly reelected. Re-elected also in 1701.
Jan Spiik is married to Ellen Aarevalla, a Lakkvian novelist. They have three dogs, and live in the outskirts of Vesüha.
In 1702, he was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of As-Saif by Salah Ad-Din Al-Lusirni, the Sultan of Kurum Ash-Sharqia, and in 1712, to Çakaristan's Order of Çakar (first class)
In 1704, he was elected Secretary General of the MTO. As secretary-general, he has overseen the "divorce" of the Convention on the Laws of the Seas from the MTO, as well as the establishment of a new treaty, sponsored by Çakaristan, the Convention on Civil Aviation.
On 11.VI.1714, Jan Spiik and his wife Ellen Aarevalla were travelling in their autonomous self-driving car on the Liderai–Huyenkula highway, when, the car was derailed by a dragon's tail hitting the car. Following the derailing, Spiik and Aarevalla died from their injuries in Liderai General Hospital some three later.
We declare peace upon the memories of Jan Spiik and Ellen Aarevalla.

It is now our duty, to nominate and elect a new secretary general for the MTO.
