Sumaya, the native empire. It was here that Ratu had forged an alliance with failed continental industrialists and expat merchants to produce guns and ammunition for her warriors. Here that Ratu lead her warriors to victory after victory, uniting the tribes with gun and spear. In her wisdom and magnanimity Ratu had not oppressed the other tribes but united them under his banner, making them citizens in the Malikate of Sumaya.

"We are all Sumayan" She had declared, inviting survaekom nobles, Xian industrialists and anyone else disenchanted with their continental homeland to join him in Sumaya . With their aid she had initiated a program of industrialization and modernization, turning the old capital of Suma into a sprawling city of factories and shipyards. 

No longer would the Sumayan tribes be subject to the whims of colonial powers. They would determine their own destiny with their own hands, united under Ratu's heirs.

Meanwhile, A grand military parade is held in the city proper, ending with the the [i]ITN Ratu[/i] and [i]ITN Talik[/i] firing salutes from the harbor. 

Queen Sinta himself attended the celebrations with her husbands and children, speaking before cheering crowds from the balcony of the government hall.

"Today I have seen my grandmother's dream made real. Sumaya stands strong. Our people are united in purpose and loyalty. Our soldiers are brave and skilled. Our economy flourishes. As your Queen I could not be more proud; proud to stand before the world, and call you my people, equal to any nation on earth!"

"But let us remember that my grandmother's dream is not yet complete. There are still many of our people who are oppressed by foreign powers, forced to bow to foreigners as superiors rather than meet them as equals. We must remember our brothers and sisters, and remember that we are all Sumayans. Keep them in your hearts and minds, and pray to the Ancestors that they too may some day stand tall with us."
