Denmark sat down in her chair, hesitating before placing the plastic cup on the floor next to her chair. It could look a bit silly, on this ancient mahogany table, surrounded by the nations of the world. That would not do. She looked up as the confident figure of Britain entered, loud as always. Well, that ticked the last confirmed member off the list. The rest had not RSVP'd. She rose, clearing her throat. "Today, we meet to discuss the state of our countries and any important issues. I shall begin with Denmark. My economy is strong, and many people are living comfortably. But some have noticed the aggression building between us. This is clear in the comics printed in newspapers, and the graffiti sprayed on a government building recently." Her nose twitched. "They see it, and I do as well," she finished. With a nod, she took her seat again. She had not said much, but today was more for her to observe than to speak. It was time for the next nation to take the limelight.
