" ... which continues to remain one of the most successful mutually-beneficial functions of this alliance. In that, I am completely satisfied. "

It would have been quite a usual day for Neville Casanova, who had recently been appointed as the Unione of Capitalizt States' senior representative to the VERITAS alliance. However, having an issue that would have concerned them all to bring to the table made certain that it was not usual, and that actually, the future of millions depended on the outcome of discussions to come.

" What's next on the agenda? " asked a mediator, looking over the schedule of the day just briefly. " Oh... I would like to yield the floor to Delegate Neville Casanova of the Unione of Capitalizt States, who wishes to raise the issue of the recent absence of the New York and New Jersey central government. "

" Thankyou, " Neville acknowledged the mediator gratefully, being quick to take his position at the forefront of the hall. " My friends, I wanted to raise for discussion with you all the possibility of establishing a VERITAS-coordinated response to the potentiality that the New York and New Jersey central government has suffered a collision with the fractal universe. Preliminary investigations have been able to establish that a civilian population remains in all territories, but that the rule of law or local governments have not prevailed successfully. "

" With the support of VERITAS, I am perfectly willing to propose that territories of the former Federal Republic be transferred to become 'protectorates' of the VERITAS alliance, with a multi-national force to be formed with the full intention of restoring local law and order in aforementioned jurisdictions. For all purposes, I fully believe that law according the the constitution of the former Federal Republic should be observed, if not only out of respect for the central government in absentia but to also make certain a smooth transition between former and future administrations. "

" As it stands, the people of New York and New Jersey currently face the constant possibility of death and anarchy, and the slipping of their former quality of life. I believe this to be the only responsible option to dealing with a post-NYNJ central government, a friend who has served all of us well in the past. In fact, I would say that we almost owe it to them to offer their citizens full and proper protection, according to our full capability. To this effect, I would like to offer this alliance use of UCS Military resources and soldiers to either in part, or fully take responsibility for the management and protection of former New York and New Jersey territories.

OOCness: I’m not really much for this ‘the government’s imploded’ stuff. It’s necessary on Mars, because they’ve got limited space on the map, but here, we don’t have to worry about pixel-grabbing. If Greg comes back, he can decide if there’s been any anarchy or disorder, otherwise, just consider it business as usual.

We’ve acted in the past to discourage people grabbing at their-concept-of-a-former-NYNJ, I don’t see why we need to worry about doing it ourselves. If it is a ‘fractality’ thing, then the entire nation could just happily diappear into the ether…

I would assume that some response is being undertaken, according to whatever Greg may or may not say if and when he returns.
