Dunkinopolis, FRC - On a planet far, far away
The halls of the Assembly had recently been re-roofed, and most of the water damage from the hurricanes had been repaired, painted over, or hidden.
National traditions, painting over and hiding things. The Acting President sighed. Justin Case had been elected Vice President of Cyberia (F.R. that is) when elections still mattered. President Spaulding had gone missing in the great storms, and Justin A. Case had co-ordinated what little could be done to restore the Republic.
Little aid from Maraguo had ever made it through the vastness of space. At the time, it mattered. Now the battered nation faced the small, but possible, danger of invasion. From another planet, of all things. Yesh. Why a federation with a tiny nation on another planet?
Why did they let themselves be dragged into this. Oh yeah. The Emperor. Why in the name of all did he listen to the Emperor? Hadn't he drug the nation through enough blood? They'd been just barely victorious in the Civil Wars, just in time to be nearly destroyed by mother nature.
By Kahunamea's Cape, look who just had walked into the Senate chamber, wearing the tricorn he had favored for the last few years. The Acting President looked as though he was going to loose his lunch right there and then.
Should he call the guards? No, the guards were mostly veterans, and they cheered the so-and-so no matter what foolish thing he was up to. Chase steeled himself. He looked across the room at other members of the government. Most nodded slightly. He reached into this pocket, his hand on the small reviolver. No, the S.o.B. would not drag us into war again.
Imperiously, as though he had invented the word, J.B.S. Kahunamea strode to the front of the Senate, waiving his godsdamned hat to the crowd.
Ignoring proceedure as usual, he took the microphone and started to speak. Chase released the safety and brought the pistol to half-cocked. Two senators did likewise, barely concealing their weapons.
"My fellow Cyberians, it is a joy to be among you today. A true joy. The nation recovers, thanks to the work of brave men like Justin Case!"
Case took note of the lack of his due title in the compliment. The bastard. He smiled anyway, a big toothy, stiff grin.
"The work done is excellent, but the nation deserves so much more. That is why today I'm anouncing the re-founding the 'Rally for the Imperium', and our entry into the Constitutional Convention. And in the name of the Empire-to-Be, I accept the dissolution of the union with Maraguo. We love the Maraguaans, but......we must not be drug into a war, especially one on another world."
A chant began from the back of the chamber. People who had been watching the Senate from other rooms in the building began to run in. Several skunk apes began to jump up and down, laughing in their own gutteral fashion. the crowd formed around the so-called "emperor", and surrounded by armed veterans, hoisted him on their shoulders.
"Cyberia Prevails! Long Live the Emperor!"
"Cyberia Prevails! Long Live the Emperor!"
"Damn the bastard," Chase softly cursed under his breath, while he smiled for the omnipresent TV cameras.
Summary-
The Federal Republic of Cyberia dissolves its union with Maraguo and declares neutrality.
