[center]Incoherent noises were passing through the room of the Dallin parliament buildings. Yet again, the ministers, the governors of all the regions in the country and nobles were arguing about what to do next, yet none could convince anyone else to their point of view at all. He would be amazed if this parliament would be able to decided upon anything in the future.

It was easier back when the king of Dallin decided what should have been done, nobody would have bickered and instead, all the nobles and governors would simply have nodded in agreement to the decisions of the monarch. It was all thanks to Titus Junius Cato and his Civitas Imperium. The combined armies of Azreka and Dallin faced the much smaller Civitan army in combat and shamefully lost.

With the army in shambles, some nobles of the realm almost decided that to avoid the wrath of the Civitan army was to turn their proud kingdom into a republic. However, the royal family was loved and a royalist faction was founded should liberal faction of the country decide to depose the king. However, the liberals were not idiots and decided that outright banning the monarchy would tear this country into a civil war, so they did something that appeased both the monarchists and allowed them to turn the nation into a quasi-republic.

They allowed the king to remain as monarch of the nation, but only in name. In truth, he had little power and was only a figurehead of the nation rather than a true monarch like his female counterpart in Azreka who had absolute power over her people.

"Quiet!" a large booming voice that both disrupted his train of thought and quieted all the bickering in the room. The man who had done that was the Minister of the interior, Aldius Hennan. "We're bickering like children, while our once proud kingdom is slowly falling to pieces, we need to be more united if Dallin is to prosper like it once did!"

The booming voice quieted down the lesser people such as some nobles or governors. But another man arose, a old man in his mid fifties. He had soft features for a man engaged in politics and a soft voice, this was Odrian Karmill, the minister of Foreign Relations. "I agree, while our economy is among the strongest on The Continent, it has grown quite stagnant, so I propose that we establish a trade agreement with our close ally, Azreka, that will help our economy quite a lot and strengthen our relations with our good ally."

Not many people argued with this and while they did not agree out loud, most of them murmured support of this decision. Odrian, with a pleased smile on his face, sat down back in his seat, though he knew that the man had many more ideas in his head.

"Good, and now that our economy will gain strength, I propose that were begin retraining our armies!" another man about the same age as Odrian rose. His features, however were much harder on the man, this was the Minister of the Army Pettrus Matthius. "Our army has grown too lax since our defeat, we need to show that our military is still one to be reckoned with!"

Nobody dared to contradict this man, not because it was such a bright idea, but because the man had a very intimidating figure. Almost everyone murmured in support of this, but mostly in fear of the large man not because of any other reason.

"I am glad to see that everyone is on board with these ideas, now, let me propose my own ideas!" Aldius spoke, and everyone looked at him with interest, even Adelius was slightly interested of what proposition this man offer. "We need to improve our nation's roads, but we must also research better ways to improve our economy other than simple trade routes!" he declared and many people agreed, among them, Adelius.

"Nay, we must improve our army's strength!" Pettrus Matthius declared. "Azreka may be a strong ally, but we must be able to take care of ourselves, we can't count on them for protection!" he shouted and quite a few people declared their support for that notion.

Adelius, wanting to prevent the room from being erupting into a incoherent mess of voices rose from his seat and declared. "Then we will have a vote for this!" Adelius declared. "Everyone will write which of the two research options they desire and after we will count the votes."

A ballot was placed in the middle of the room and slowly, one by one, each man placed his opinion in the ballot. After about 30 minutes, the final vote had been placed by Adelius himself, for he was selected to count the votes from the 100 people.

After counting the votes for a few minutes, Adelius raised his had and declared. "The votes are as follows, 48 votes for focusing our researches in economy, 39 for focusing our researches on the military and 12 people are indecisive. It had been decided, we will focus our researches in ways to improve our economy!"[/center]
