I will figure something for the time and era of this nation as soon as I feel like it...

Eressë Tinúviel paced back and forth across the floor of her large palace on Aracassia Minor/Soronúmë, occasionally standing between the pillars gazing out at the surroundings. Just hours ago she'd delcared Aracassia Minor an independent planet from the Aracassian Empire, she had been worried that the Aracassians would be sending their forces to smash the insurrection but instead of being met with the armed forces of Aracassia, she was met with an Aracassian diplomat.

She did not see the diplomat as he came up the stairs from the western side of the palace and made his way to her location. She was completely unaware of his presence until she had said something.

"So, it is you that declared Aracassia Minor/Soronúmë independent of Aracassia?" the diplomat asked inquistitvely.

Eressë jumped in surprise. "Who are you?!" she said defensively.

The diplomat then backed away "Whoa, whoa!, no need to be jumpy... I have been sent by Empress K'thunura."

Eressë took a moment to get a grasp on the situation. "Alright, so the Empress sent you here... on what business? Diplomatic, I presume... probably to try and get us to come back into the Aracassian Empire."

"Quite the opposite, Empress K'thunura is actually pleased that you have taken leadership of Aracassia Min—"

"Soronúmë. This planet's name is Soronúmë, it always has been. Its reference as Aracassia Minor has only been because it was part of the Aracassia Minor and our name was forcibly changed to that of something reflecting the name of The Empire."

The diplomat cleared her throat to speak "Ok, Soronúmë as you call it, anyways Empress K'thunura has sent me to establish an embassy here and to offer a pact to your newly founded nation to show that there is no ill will between our nations."

Eressë stood dumbfounded, she had expected an ultimatum or a last-effort chance to change her mind on the declaration of independence.
This was out of the ordinary considering roughly 600 years ago this planet was occupied on decree of Emperor K'thunuma. She cleared her thoughts of the past. "When will the pact be signed?"

The diplomat smiled. "Today, if you'd like.".

Eressë's heart jumped. "You mean that The Empire is officially recognizing our independence?"

"Absolutely."

Eressë signed the pact and sent the diplomat back to Aracassia. She then walked back into her new office smiling. She picked up a small remote and hit a button turning on a large screen opposite her desk. She waited until her the image of Merenwen Elanessë, her second-in-command came into focus.

"the Confederated Empire of Soronúmë, is officially a nation now Merenwen. You can now call the others and assemble the council."
