Windstarr

She sat there at her desk, a stack of papers and folders before her, her blue eyes tired as the words started to run together.She sighed and rubbed her forehead as she sat a file down and she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, reflecting on these events that had befallen her lately.
She was Gena Windstarr, a lovely and down to earth young woman of twenty-five from a mid sized town in the southern US of A. She was not born into wealth or power by any means, she was an only child and her beloved parents had been killed by a drunk driver almost four years ago...and now... now she was the leader of a small nation in the South Pacific.
She was still amazed at how it had happened, how her vacation to a fairly unrecognized temperate island would result in something that would change her life forever.Little did she know of the unrest and discontent brewing in the Government of the place she was visiting and when the crap hit the fan she had been understandably frightened.
The people were a generally hard working lot but the old regime kept the country held back in its development, wanting uneducated labor to feed the ruling families ego and greed and the people were tired of it. The country was about 30 years behind the times in many ways and more so than that in more remote regions and the people wanted a better way of life for their children if not for themselves.
It seemed that a Shamin of some obscure old faith started speaking of his dreams of a "Red Goddess with eyes like the sea" who would help free them from opression and word got around. Now this little nation.. it did not have much of a tourist trade and so when people saw the red haired, blue eyed Miss windstarr well they just thought she was the one in the Shamins dreams.. so long story short, they removed the ruling family, placed her in charge and changed the countrys name to fit her and the new age theyd hoped shed bring
She had a BIIIIG responsibility to try and live up to, and try she would and may the gods help her cause shed darn sure need it. She opened her eyes when a knock sounded upon her office door and an aid walked in.
"Is the message ready Miss Windstarr?' he asked in a calm deep voice."Yes, here it is. Please see it gets posted.,its about time we made ourselves known" she smiled and handed him a paper shed written. An announcement introducing herself to the rest of the world.
It read:
Greetings to all,I am Gena Windstarr, leader of the nation of Windstarr.I wish to introduce myself and my country to all of you good citizens of the globe.We are a peaceful nation and we are most interested in catching up with the modern times.Our areas of technology, education and medicines are sadly lagging behind many natiions due to the previous style of Government.
I am willing to meet with and discuss what goods, resourses or services may be traded for such valuable help in these areas and of course to offer the hand of friendship .
I give you my thanks for your considerations in this and wish you and your nations happiness and blessings.
She hoped it was good enough. Shed just have to wait and see, she rubbed her temples and opened yet another file and began to read as her aid went to post her message to the world.
