The ESUS Senate halls
A delegate stands up. He is strangely dressed - a mixture of a punk and a cowboy. He stands at the podium, two large chromed revolvers evident by his sides. He sighs sadly, then begins to speak:
Today, the Confederate Government has tasked me with something I wish I would never have to say. I believe that you all know that the Confederate States of Allanea has always been on good terms with the ESUS, and we have always complied with the ESUS Constitution. We owe a lot to the Union, and as the Confederate Ambassador to the Extra-Solar Union of States, I understand that like nobody else does.
It therefore pains me like no other to do today the will of the Confederate States Congress - and to announce the resignation of the Confederacy from ESUS.
He pauses nervously, as if trying to analyze the strange silence falling in the room.
It is the belief of the Confederate States legislature, and of the majority of Allaneans, that ESUS has simply grown too large for any efficiency - and that the lax screening procedures of the organisation are such that virtually every backwater hole may join. Later, when nations such as The Interstellar Realm of Hyperspatial Travel engage in wanton genocide and mass-slaughter, even benign ESUSians such as Kanuckistan are powerless to intervene.
The Confederacy believes that an alliance that binds us from intervening in such matters, that is ambiguous to say the best as to its reaction to blatant sapient rights abusers, and that is inefficient in its security response to events in the Solar System, is not a good thing for the Confederacy and it’s citizens.
Furthermore, the Confederate States of Allanea is now signatory to the Treaty of the Wolf, which prohibits it from staging forces except to defend it’s own territory. This prevents us from complying with the Constitution of the Extra Solar Union of States.
Those factors together mean one thing, and one thing only, says the legislature. Our relationship, productive as it was, must come to an end.
Such is not my will, fellow ESUS delegates. Such is the will of the people of Allanea. So let it be written. So let it be done.
May God bless Allanea.
As the ambassador spoke his last words, he poured and arranged a dose of cocaine on the podium. When he said the last words, he snorted it in one quick, expert motion, and walked out of the Senate halls.
