Colerica Imperial News is delighted to bring its listeners to Emperor Maderic Thra's State of the Empire Address, live. We take you there now.
***
A large chamber is shown, filled with cheering people, all seated as they await the arrival of their Emperor. Rally music began to blare and four crimson-clad Imperial Royal Guards walked out from behind the an ellaberate display of curtains. Raul Kennin, an esteemed advisor to the Emperor, stepped out from behind the curtains. He raised his right arm at about a sixty-five degree angle and saluted the flag of the United Empire of Colerica.
"Magistrates, the Emperor of the United Empire of Colerica!" Kennin shouted.
Behind Kennin, flanked by many guards, approached the Emperor of the United Empire of Colerica, Maderic Thra. His cold, calculating gaze fell upon several members of the Grand Assembly as he walked to the podium. His piercing blue eyes locked, if but for a second, on his younger sister, (and Magistrate of State), Kressi Thra. He approached the podium and the music cut off abruptly. The crowd silenced as he began to speak.
"Thank you, Mr. Kennin, for that marvelous introduction," Maderic began. "Colericans, we are gathered here tonight to address the current condition of the United Empire. We are gathered here tonight to reflect on the many changes that have happened throughout the Empire. To reconcile our differences and to lay-out our plans for the future. I come before you tonight with many issues on my mind. I will begin with the biggest issue on everyone's mind. That being, of course, the war to topple the Ma'dah regime of Isla De Plata.
Since Allied forces began their war with the Ma'dah, we have been winning. The Ma'dah have been chased, routed, and overwhelmed by our far-superior military might. With our allies, Tomzilla, Huzen Hagen, and the Zoogie People, we have been well on our way to dismantling an evil and corrupt regime. We have decimated the tyranny that Adien Uraine and his Ma'dah followers had over the people of Isla De Plata.
Adien Uraine can never again bring pain and suffering to the people of Isla De Plata. Since his assassination at the hands of his own Ma'dah followers, his son, Mage Uraine, has promised to continue the Ma'dah's war with Allied forces. Mage Uraine will fail, like his father before him. Nothing will prevent the forces of the Allies from dismantling the Ma'dah and instilling freedom to the people of Isla De Plata after so many years under the Uraine regime.
Rest assured, Colerica, that the threats coming from Mage Uraine and the Ma’dah Reborn are hollow. They cannot harm the United Empire or our allies. The Ma’dah Reborn is on the run, fleeing from Allied forces. When we capture Mage Uraine, I promise that he will be brought to justice. The people of Isla De Plata deserve nothing less than freedom from the oppression they’ve suffered under for so long.
Some critics of the war suggest that it will be far too expensive for the United Empire to handle. This claim, like the threats from the Ma’dah Reborn, is hollow. There is no basis to the inane argument that Colerica cannot fund the war in Isla De Plata, I assure you. My Magistrate of Finance, Ariss Mortaun, assures you.
In step with expenses are fears that the economy of the United Empire will suffer as a result of the war. This, too, is baseless and inane. The economy of the United Empire is flourishing as a result of wartime production and it will continue to do so for many months to come.
Jobs are, as mandated by the Constitution, at their permanent one hundred percent rate in the United Empire. No one is without work. As we all know, those without work are without purpose. Those without purpose fail to have a need to exist. And those who do not need to be in existence don’t.
The United Empire of Colerica does not tolerate failure. Be that failure from its citizens, its leaders, or its military, the United Empire doesn’t tolerate miserable failures. The war in Isla De Plata is not a failure. The economy of the United Empire is not a failure. We are well on our road to perfection, Colericans. Our commitment to excellence outstands our fellow nations.
The next thing I wish to recognize is the potential hazards that are arising from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colerica, a radical dissenter group trying to undermine the United Empire’s wishes. We do not tolerate dissent. These people are traitors, and traitors are dealt with appropriately. This is why I have decided to declare a new Magistrate position. The Magistrate of Security will assure that the United Empire is secure and safe from domestic threats. As terrorists in the past have found out, we do not tolerate terrorism. Members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colerica will be sought out, hunted down, and brought to justice.
The State of the United Empire is stonewalled strong. We remain the dominant force in our region. We are quickly becoming an advancing power in world affairs. And we are rapidly growing. Citizens of the United Empire are among the luckiest people in the world. You are all brave people. You all brave. You are all strong. You are all powerful. You are all intelligent forces to be reckoned with in the world. Colerica is flourishing. We are mighty. Colericans: Believe. Obey. Fight!” Maderic said as he saluted and walked away from the podium, surrounded by guards, as rally music once again began to blare in the chamber room.
