Harmakmis General Assembly Hall; 11:00 AM

Many people representing many people began to pile into the grand hall, 3 hours later, as they waited on the Peony of Huawan. Representing Harmakmis is the President, Tel Jonas; the VP, Gillo Rans; Speaker of the Assembly, Ryon Ikwa; leader of the Harmakmian Unitary Party (HUP), Jason Fauley; leader of the Harmakmian Conservative Party (HCP), Femwar Yuik; and the leader of the Socialist Party of the Common Harmakmian (SPCH), Jon Yon. Representing Gordista is the de facto leader, Jem Katra II; Harmakmian advisor, Icha Unon; de facto vice-leader, Ren Katra; leader of the Change for Gordista Movement, Lilu Yenkins; the leader of the Socialist Gordistani Party (SGP), Maron Henu; and leader of the Gordista Freedom Party (GFP), Byron Schmidt. 

Tel Jonas rises from his spot at the table for Harmakmis and speaks before the important crowd,
"Fellow leaders of the world, we are gathered here today to create a new chapter in the history of the two countries of Harmakmis and Gordista. If you are not fully aware of the situation, our two nations had just completed a 250-year long cold war. The war stems from when my fellow Harmakmian ancestors slaughtered many Gordistanis when Gordista was conquered 300-some years ago. Jem Katra II and I are ready to accept the past and to pave a better future for us and the world. The goal of this council for its first and lengthy session, will to be rebuild the two nations, unify us on many different levels, to create peace, both domestic and foreign, and to discuss matters of alliances, among many minor issues. The council will be a great step forward in Harmakmian/Gordistani relations and should an example for the world. And now may this summit commence, in the name of peace and prosperity."

Tel sits back down, drinking a whole cup of water, as the leaders of the other nations intimidate him. Jem Katra II stands up and starts clapping,

"I couldn't have said it any more perfect myself. I am ready to let this meeting start. First, we need to create a charter for the council, for legality."

The smooth-talking, leader of the damaged nation sat down, waiting for the other nations to join in.

Maron Henu started fidgeting with her thumbs, as if something was weighing down her soul.
