Antonio and Alba look at each other slightly, saying with their eyes, ‘did that really just happen?’ Antonio is flabbergasted, despite the fact that it did not involve him in any way. Before anyone could say anything else more, Antonio spoke up. “Are we not in an official, diplomatic setting, sir, or did you just forget proper etiquette," he questioned, directed the Gileadan prince. "This meeting can surely go on without you and your nation’s condescending attitude and haughtiness towards everyone else in the international community; the world, and I too, surely tire of it.” At the conclusion of his statement, he gave a cold glare and rolled his eyes away in disgust, now awaiting for progression of the meeting. |

Ambassador Delos kept his face as bland as possible as he considered the complete break in relations he had just witnessed. Already he was writing notes that would result in serious policy adjustments in Achaian Peloponnese: “UN attention on Izalith, AP by association? Gilead sending spies and aircraft into foreign nations; confirm with Obs. et Comm. and Internal Obs. No UN outcry against Gilead for foreign intrusion. Gilead insisting on own moral judgment for international relations.” Thankfully, Gilead had been alone—thus far—in speaking against Izalith’s secrecy and values. Considering that Achaian Peloponnese shared at least a few of them (specifically, secrecy and privacy, often at all costs), it would have been very awkward to see the rest of the UN turn against Delos’s own nation in the same manner. ‘The anax will have so much fun deciphering this mess,’ Delos thought to himself. ‘Nonetheless, we have managed to confirm that Gilead’s morality is not shared by every nation of the UN, based on the prior votes here. Gilead cannot be an island standing against the world; eventually Gregorius, too, will have to compromise.’ Glancing at the door, the ambassador thought, ‘Though I doubt that will improve their image to those nations they have already slighted.’ |

"How typical," Oesterle thought to himself. "Gilead displaying their tradmark condescending attitude towards those who are supposedly lesser than them..." Oesterle despised communists, and the display by Charlotte was certainly unprofessional and over the top in his eyes, but the arrogance that the Gileadean prince displayed towards the Izalithian queen was a bit much even for him. Oesterle never had been a fan of Gilead, despite the current pact between Gilead and Rusnya, and the previous display by their prince further solidified those feelings. One of his aides whispered in his ear, "No surprise Gilead tries to exert its long-expired world dominance on the international stage...how desperate." Oesterle simply smiled while shaking his head.

The Valkanian delegates placed their heads on their palms and the Prime Minister addressed the two bickering persons; "Your Excellencies I believe it is time you seized this disingenuous assertion-filled joke of a conversation and place it restore this hall's formal level. Your Grace, Mister Prince, we usually address other diplomats as equals, and Your Majesty Ms. Queen we usually do not rant and insult foreign nations. Instead of burning bridges with each other how about we discuss this in a civilized manner. How about a compromise? Izalith shall temporarily be accepted as an observer. If our observers find their nation to be humane then they will be accepted as a full member. If not then they will remain an observer state. Remember even pariah nations have to be members of this organization. It is in the best interest of both sides." concluded the Prime Minister hoping to pacify the room before the UN got ruined from it's first day; |

Emmanuel and his assistents took note of the situation. "And so begins the fall of the once great Gilead," Emmanuel remarked, "it's only a matter of time before nations both near and far line up at Verskana's door, and embrace Marxism over filthy capitalism." |

The Minister just sat there as the two monarchs argued with each other. "What the h*ll was that about?" she thought to herself. She withheld her desire to get involved, as it could mess with Medai's policy of remaining friendly with all and making alliances with none (that's how it usually works, anyway). | |

Alexander simply shook his head in a disapproving manor at the Gilead Prince. He had nothing to say of his ally and wouldn't bother trying to settle the tension in the room. "This should be an eventful meeting," the Starlizan King said under his breath as he checked the time. |

As the young Queen made her exit, the Prince's chief adviser quietly said to him, "Well, if she can't handle the heat..." Smirking and slightly laughing, the Prince turned to the microphone in front of him. Valkany had only just repeated what he had already proposed and the others commenting just looked foolish by allowing the adolescent Queen's remarks to be seen as on par with his own, so pushed the button to speak to the assembly again. "As I have proposed, and as the Valkanians have seconded, I believe that we should postpone the decision on the entry of Izalith into the Union of Nations unless, of course, they wish not to be a part of our organization henceforth in consequence to the previous altercation." The Secretary General had a vote entered into the voting system to either dismiss, postpone, or accept Izalith's bid for full membership. Gilead voted "postpone". |

King Bernhard was quite shocked by the altercation, as were his advisers that sat behind him. Bernhard, nervously shuffling the paper on his desk, darted his eyes around the room to assess the reaction from the other delegates. There was a significant amount of heated discussion taking place internally in the delegates, and it seemed like many shared the same reaction as Bernhard. Bernhard arose in his seat. He was unsure about the chamber rules with regard to speaking without an allotted time period, but believed something needed to be said. "Ladies and gentlemen of the chamber," Bernhard spoke loudly, and confidently, gaining the attention of the room and at the same time silencing it, "What we have just witnessed is deplorable behaviour coming from members of this chamber. No one, regardless of their national identity and customs, should be belittled and bullied in such a disgraceful manner. The purpose of this Union is to welcome all nations with open arms, and to act as a catalyst for stronger international cooperation and the promotion of personal liberties and the betterment of all lives on Noverra. If we treat applicant nations in such a disrespectful and sarcastic manner, Your Majesty..." Bernhard continued, now looking at the Prince of Gilead, "... , you will find that they will be discouraged from participating. We cannot have that. Every nation should be encouraged to partake in UN membership, and any crimes of the government of that nation must then be addressed in a unilaterally cooperative and responsible manner. If such criminal characteristics are attributes of a government, it should not be a reason why they should be excluded. In fact, is should be a reason as to why they should be included!" King Bernhard, moving his stern glare from the Gileadean delegation, relaxed, and spoke in a softer tone to the delegations around him. "As such, I implore you all to vote in favour of Izalith's membership, and any future applications. It should be the duty of this chamber to increase membership numbers and ensure all are included in this fantastic international enterprise." Bernhard sat down, waiting for the reaction, and received praised from his advisers. He voted to accept. Edited by Anglea, Jul 24 2014, 01:07 AM.

The Valkanians agreed with the viewpoint of the Austianese representative almost exactly. Thousands of years however had taught them that if an Empire wants to keep its status it had to avoid taking extremes. Plus they couldn't exactly expose their allies, Gilead, nor could they just accept after voicing an idea to postpone Izalith's membership. Thus they voted "postpone". | |

Although inclined to agree with Austiana, the minister voted postpone. She imagined that after the scene today, they wouldn't want to find they'd been accepted as a member. She was very disturbed, however, as this appeared to be the way Gilead got what it wanted.

Emperor Antonio nods to Minister Alba, signifying that he wishes to vote "acceptance" for Izalith. She promptly touches the selection and confirms the vote again. | |

Sensing the general consensus against his own views, Prince Gregory refrained from making further statements on the issue at hand, but he still spoke among his advisers. "So they want this organization to be overran by parasitical governments; they want to let the rotten apples spoil the rest of us? Fine. We can exit this organization just as quickly as we proposed its foundation. Our money can would follow." Most of his advisers, there were four of them, nodded in agreement, but one was looking off towards the Austianese delegation, trying to figure out their angle. |

Delos continued to scribble notes to himself as he considered the speech just delivered by King Bernhard of Austiana. It was heartening to see public resistance to Gilead’s strong-armed tactics, even if the king’s hopefully-hypothetical reference to ‘criminal characteristics’ of any nation’s government reminded the ambassador that this was a gathering of diplomats too used to moral speeches to allow their pragmatic actions to speak for themselves. All that said, Queen Charlotte’s departure certainly made the current vote superfluous, and a waste of the Union’s time. Perhaps Delos was projecting, but it seemed that there were several other diplomats and leaders in the group who appeared more than a little impatient at this juncture. Progress was slow enough, in fact, that Delos wondered if he had time enough to alert the Megaron to the developments he had witnessed before matters became more serious. After a moment’s indecision, the ambassador decided that he couldn’t possibly be ruder than Crown Prince Gregory of Gilead, and pulled his phone from his jacket pocket. Perhaps he couldn’t distill the pertinent information to 300 characters or so, but what one text wouldn’t accomplish, five or six probably would. |
