Okay, I'd like to point something out to everyone-

Aciras is Psuedo-America, minus the military and definite pluses on culture. And America, while it isn't the biggest nation in the world, is quite [i]large[/i]. It'd take days to travel lengthwise, from east to west, and probably at least two days to travel its width, from north to south. 

To wake up, pack things into your bag, and then drive to Aciras' capital city and arrive at their palace/castle would take significantly longer than one or two hours. If you want to be there at the proper time in the morning- you're gonna have to fly in the night before, and then arrive in the morning from whatever quarters you secured- whether at one of the top hotels, or at your country's diplomatic embassy there at the capital (which should be stocked to provide for their homeland's leadership).

These aren't just neighboring towns or cities- these are [i]nations[/i], [/i]kingdoms[/i]. Not all of them will be on the same continent, even. 

Or am I wrong, and everyone lives within a couple hours of teeny-tiny Aciras?
