Senators,

I call you here to this meeting today to effect the cession of Transegale to the Elian Union. In order to accept Transegale's admission, we must amend the constitution. If we choose not to accept Transegale, we need not amend the constitution.

If Senators have other things to add to the agenda, please raise that point.

Question from Herr P. Eikegaard (N&H Party, Normark) to her Majesty: How did Transegale find its way into our union? Already the existing components of the Elian Lands are separated by far more than continents and oceans, to the extent that even the death and burial of the sainted Elijah proves to be a meagre thread of unity. How then can the Alexandrian plague lands of Tapfer find their way into our arctic-antarctic realm?

Senators,

When the Frenzy annexed territory in Tapfer following the Alexandrian flu death – it did so with the agreement with Stormark, that Stormark would annex the western part of the new Green. Stormark did not do so, as it lacked the consent of the MCS Council. The Frenzy nontheless ratified its part of the deal, achieved the MCS consent for the claim, and incorporated the territory by expanding the borders of Uppland and Thalassa and creating a new demesne called Transegale.

The Frenzy decided to grant Transegale to our Union. It is now our role to decide whether to accept or reject such grant.

Frau von Szandoh: This is a ruinous and depopulated country that we stand to inherit. What resources can the land yield? What settlers can be spared to colonise the proposed settlements? How will the spoils be divided between us? Once we have answers to these questions then you will have my assent to our rule over the south-western corner of Tapfer.

The Lady of Kin'uyama.

Kōgō Heika, I wish to respond to my esteemed colleagues, and beg leave to do so.

In times sadly gone by, Natopia and Alexandria were as sisters. It is the least we can do to provide a helping hand to the victims of the Alexandrian flu by accepting them under the wing of the Bovic Tapferite Empire. That step having been accomplished, it is the will of said Empire that we provide said helping hand, and it would be not only dishonorable but downright inhumane to leave the victims of any natural disaster to their own device.

For those reasons, I refute the arguments of my colleagues and voice my wholehearted support for the admission of the Transegale to the Elian Union.

Miss Hvilebø.

The King-Kaiser's Address to the Joint Session of the Senate and the People's Assembly of the Elian Union
Lady Steward,
Mr Prime Minister,
High and Mighty Senators
Honourable Representatives of the People's Assembly,

I am so happy to be here. The Elian Union is a great place. It's so beautiful. It's diverse. It's all over the world. But together we share one thing: the relics of Saint Elijah!

Saint Elijah was a good man. He was born in east Elwynn during the feudal dictatorship there. Luckily, there is no more dictatorship there. But in those days, Elijah had to be rescued from the evil of dictatorship. Some kind Babkhans came and helped him. They took him to west Elwynn – then an independent country – and there he started working for the good of everyone.

So that is why we are united. We are united in the spirit of the apotheosized Elijah.

But we have many things to do.

We need to deal with infrastructure in Normark. The borders there have changed. We need to build roads and railways and build schools and harbours and airports. We need to protect the end of the Haifa Strait by supporting Signe and Hagbard. This is very important. I want you to look at this.

We also have to deal with the diminishing penguin population in the Two Martyrs. This is very serious. Penguins are important animals. We need an investigation to why this is happening.

We need to support the establishment of bases on Leng. I understand this is very sensitive but if we cannot defend Leng, there will nothing sacred left there. That's why I ask the Lengois to consider fortifying the island even more. We need to be safe. The people need to be safe. The holy places have to be safe, too.

Transegale needs a government. It's your job to deal with this.

The Imperial Conference has been set up. We are the biggest bloc. It's your job to figure out how the Elian Union should be represented there. I recommend that the People's Assembly elect our representatives there in proportion to parties' share of the Assembly. We are a democratic candle that lights up the world. This is very important to remember. Our government is a success. Humanists and safir work together. This is beautiful. It's a system that the whole world should have. It brings love and hope and kindness to my heart.

We also need to reform the constitution so that the Executive Power of the Union is better explained. While I hold all power, when I am not here, it is delegated to the Steward, and the Steward appoints the Prime Minister (with the support of the People's Assembly). The Prime Minister appoints the cabinet. The cabinet exercises the executive power.

We should be able to specify who does what so that there will be no question if an order is right or wrong. This is very important. SO I want you to look at this.

So yes, there's much work.

I have to go now. I love you all.

I move that we defer until pacification operations are complete.
We also have to deal with the diminishing penguin population in the Two Martyrs. This is very serious. Penguins are important animals. We need an investigation to why this is happening.
It is because rats from the whaling boats are feasting on the penguins eggs. I recommend paying the unemployed of the Two Martyrs to go out onto the ice-shelves to conduct a cull.
We need to support the establishment of bases on Leng. I understand this is very sensitive but if we cannot defend Leng, there will nothing sacred left there. That's why I ask the Lengois to consider fortifying the island even more. We need to be safe. The people need to be safe. The holy places have to be safe, too.
By all rights Leng should be uninhabited and uninhabitable. I understand that there are mining operations out there but if we want ensure the safety of those facilities the first thing we need to do is to execute the Pallisicans who have been unwisely deposited there by the Emperor as captive labour. A small garrison of 120 men drawn from the Natopian Constabulary would be sufficient for all other matters considering the insanely inhospitable climate of the place.
Transegale needs a government. It's your job to deal with this.
I am in favour of the communities self-organising. Let us deal with whoever rises to prominence there.

It brings love and hope and kindness to my heart.
Time marches on and our delegates have already arrived. I salute the civic minded members of our community who volunteered to represent the union in distant Lindstrom.
We also need to reform the constitution so that the Executive Power of the Union is better explained. While I hold all power, when I am not here, it is delegated to the Steward, and the Steward appoints the Prime Minister (with the support of the People's Assembly).

I am sure that we all agree on the importance of this matter.

We thank His Majesty for gracing our distant shores with his presence in these trying times.
