Kermalion, capitol city of the I.S.K. (Incorporated States of Kermos)
Head of State Bureau Press Conference
- So, do you think they'll announce they're going to develop an atomic bomb? said Gabriel Holbuhm, while reaching to pick up his ball pen under the chair.
- How did you end up with that conclusion? asked Susan Nofoc surprised.
- Well, last time, they announced that are going to allow the mining of the uranium deposits. After that they've increased the military budget. It's logic, right?
- When did the Government acted logically?
- Oh, look, his coming...
Paul Kermave, the Head of State, a small man, aged 30, approached the microphone:
Good morning everyone.
In the early years of our people, when Europe was building the first cities and citadels, when people became more interestated in the common welfare, than the individual and tribal affairs, the kermian people were still organized in tribes. The only sign of advanced civilization in our lands were our few scholars.
But that is not the case anymore. Since the Awakening, and the forming of the new techno-meritocratic government of the I.S.K. our society has undergone through what our scientists call a "civilization boom". Our lands are one of the most safest and crime is almost unknown, being just a bad dream in the memories of our elders.
Saying this, after consulting the High Assembly, we have decided to open our borders to foreign citizens, diplomats and embassies, for Kermos to become a part of the more advanced civilizations of the world.
Thank you all for your time. The Spokesperson will answer all of your questions.
- So, no bomb. Your logic was wrong, mused Susan.
- Interesting. How are they going to keep track of the...
- Ask him, said Susan pointing towards the Spokesman.
- Sir, what about the Digital Identification Act. Will it be applied on foreigners?
- As long as they do not apply for a kermian citizenship, we have no right to track their movements inside or outside our border lands. In the case that accusations are held against a foreign citizen, we trust that the respective government will cooperate in holding it's own citizen in trial by their home rules.
- Is this action coming in response to the liberal opinion group?
- Although the liberal group is one of our most important groups, we can not yet allow so much liberties in our society. But, more and more issues raised by the group are on the High Councils agenda.
- What will happen to kermians wanting to leave the states?
- I assume that you refer to their tracking device. The device will remain active only if the kermian citizen will not ask for it's deactivation. Also, same will apply if the destination country will ask for the tracking device to be deactivated.
- The are rumors regarding the new Academy of Applied Science, that is being used to develop a nuclear weapon...
- The KAAS is funded by the government, but this rumors are of the senile. The KAAS is an attempt of the Kermos government to increase the scientific research and a higher form of education for our scholars.
- So, nothing new... no crisis, no nothing. What title should it have? mused Susan. "Kermos to sell it's lands"
- I have a better one: "Kermos is invaded by illegal immigrants"
- That's pure fiction, laughed Susan.
- You think? I wonder if there will be any country to open an embassy in Kermos...
