 After several weeks of discussion and negotiation, it had seemed as though the Freedom of Choice act was finished. The stakes on the bill seemed relatively high, as it seemed unlikely to pass through government without the help of rebellious MNAs, to stand against both the D.A.R. and S.D. Just as he was the one to call it into creation, so to would he send it off, Dominic Melembe took center stage. “I would like to officially call to vote the Freedom of Choice Act. I understand that many men and women here have voiced opposition to this bill, morally and fundamentally, some calling it extreme others corrupt. Before we begin voting, I would like to reassure everyone here whose mind can still be swayed that this bill is in the interest of the nation, let us show to the world that Samgola is a country both willing and capable of accepting modern thoughts and ideals. Let us show that Samgola is a country of both freedom and liberty. Let us show that Samgola is capable of progress. Thank you.” Dominic then quietly took his seat among his fellow MNAs, the party had already made its decision, but only time would tell what the rest of the floor decided.

With recent difficulties negotiating a trade deal with South Africa, Charles Mpeya had hit a dead end. It had seemed as though for the first time in Samgolan history, that the nation had been isolated. The country of Nigeria’s increasingly aggressive attitude combined with the cold hostility from South Africa’s president, made it increasingly difficult to set up close relations with their neighbors and former partners.

Several weeks after visiting with South Africa, Charles was interviewed by a local Samgolan news station on how he planned on moving forward. “It seems as though since the brutal civil war fought not long ago, our-our country has become isolated. Diplomatically, we have few friends in a world where they mean everything. In order to survive, we need, the country needs to branch out. This means, for the first time ever, establishing a friendship with the west. To begin I’ll be traveling to France in a couple of days to set up trade agreement between our two nations. Eventually, should things go well, our country will slowly begin to prosper and bring a great deal of industry to our nation.” To Charles beginning these negotiations with the former imperialists seemed obvious, yet he understood the thin line that he stood upon.
