[center][h1][b][color=crimson]Empire of Grenaza[/color][/b][/h1][/center] [center][b]January 8th, 1919[/b][/center] [center][h3]Imperial Palace, Veronyn[/h3][/center] Soldiers in uniforms not of Grenaza went about their duties outside in the gardens and walls of the Imperial Palace. Up above sat three people in a lavish reclining room, a few couches sat around the room with tables and chairs to match. Many colors represented in an almost obnoxious brightness from the chairs to various hanging cloths on the walls and those walls themselves. The two sat off by one of the windows in this room, two chairs moved away from whatever perfected arrangement they previously held. One sat in the standard Imperial regalia, the Emperor, the other in less extravagant but still formal and higher class. The Emperor turned back from the window. “Tell me what you think Chancellor.” “I think you’ve trusted these men with many things before and there is certainly no reason to distrust now, your Imperial Majesty.” “And you can’t tell me more? No, you’ve told me why I know.” Emperor Matenosen cut off the Chancellor’s response and looked back out the window. He stood up, “You can tell my apparently trusted men that they have my blessing to whatever this is.” “And the Budget your Imperial Majesty?” A snort and then, “It's not like I could do anything to stop them could I?” “Your Imperial Majesty I think it's importan-” “Fine! I’ve heard your arguments but my blessing is conditional.” The Chancellor stayed silent waiting. The Emperor continued, “I want to have a design for that Saurtarian contract alright?” “That would be all it would require getting this budget your blessing your Imperial Majesty?” A nod. “Thank you your Imperial Majesty, it will be done!” The Chancellor bowed out of the room, formally but with his obvious energy getting somewhat in the way of dignity.

Call me Adrel.” Adrel motioned to an open table little ways away from any other occupied tables. “I’ll join you.” Reni stood properly, took his drink and left the other ex-soldiers to join his previous commanding officer. Sitting down Adrel asked, “Have you found work after, well you know?” “I’ve found some, maybe not a whole lot but I can get by.” They talked about how From there the conversation moved on to some catching up before going into some more political matters. “I don’t know about the Republicans but letting Communists into the Government? That’s asking for trouble if you ask me.” Reni stated with a great assurance. “Reni, what do you know of Vornheim?” “Aside from the craziness there already not much. Adrel, you're asking a lot of pointed questions, where are you going with this?” Adrel leaned in and spoke quietly, “What do you know about the Legion?” “You’re not dealing with those aristocratic bastards are you?” burst out Reni. “Quiet Down, no seriously they’ve changed a lot, there are good people there now, trust me.” Adrel watched Reni’s less than enthusiastic face, before sighing and continuing. “Listen, just come to a meeting at the headquarters here, you know where the headquarters are? Good, and you’ll see in two days. Bring along whoever you like who can think alright? See you later Reni.” Reni watched him leave. “Two days huh?” [center][h3]Imperial Senate, Veronyn[/h3][/center] “...And so upon this consideration of Imperial consent, I would put forward the motion that we move to vote on the collected bills as a unit.” The Chancellor motioned as the Senator relinquished control back to him. “The Chancellery seat recognizes the honorable Senator from Daltesod.” “I second the motion from the honorable Senator from Eilde.” “Very well, if there is no objection or further discussion to be had we will proceed.” A general shuffling commenced as Senators prepared to cast their votes, and then did so the long droning going on for the hundreds of Senators before finally ceasing. As was expected, the Chancellor announced the result after being handed the official record. “The results are as follows, two-hundred and thirty-two votes aye, five votes nay, and one-hundred and ten abstentions. The bills passed by a super-majority of three-fifths present and thus become law.” [center][hider=Bills] ~Submit Acceptance of Contract to the Saurtarian Republic ~Send Forty Million to the National Health Council to distribute equally in the fields of agriculture and pharmaceuticals ~Send Eighty Million to the National Board of Transportation to distribute equally in the fields of aviation and automotive ~Contract Serotis M.T.I. for the design of the new bolt action rifle to “meet or exceed those of Saurtarian contract” with an up to one million reward reserved for particular excellence in design. ~Reequip an artillery factory at Daltesod to produce consumer goods[/hider][/center]
