From the anointed history of Regola della Donna
The origins of Regola della Donna comes from some fifty years back when a group of former slaves came to the region. They intermarried with the locals and soon the Grand Duchy of Regola della Donna was formed. However the leader of the former slaves and now Grand Duchess, Amelia, wanted revenge on men for what she went through. So Amelia passed a number of laws stripping men of all of thier rights. Under Amelia’s new laws men became nothing more then semi-intelligent breeding fodder. Amelia made men born to the Grand Duchess the exception of course, which was a good thing since when Amelia died after thirty years of reign, she left only sons: Duke Pavel, Duke Andrei, and Duke Stefan. All three could not succeed their mother and all three had daughters who could. For a time the national congress ruled in place of a Grand Duchess. Finally they chose the daughter of Duke Andrei, Countess Mariana, to become the new Grand Duchess. On her sixteenth birthday Mariana recived the oath of loyalty from the National Congress and the country.
5 MONTHS LATER.......
Mariana Andreiovna Remizena walked through corridors of the Grand Palace to a meeting with her father and uncles, with her mind in a tumult. Daddy and the Uncles are insane, why must we do this! I am not ready to rule this country as it is now, what makes them think I can rule it while standing on a pedstal in front of the whole world! she thought wildly. After mentally calming herself Mariana pushed through the door in front of her and sat down in her plush chair. Standing in front of her was her father and uncles, who bowed deeply as Mariana entered.
"It is a pleasure to see you Mariana" said Uncle Pavel smiling. Uncle Pavel was the youngest of Amelia's sons and was the quite the dignified looking gentlemen. He was also a good-for-nothing sceamer
"Indeed it is daughter" voiced Andrei. Andrei was the oldest son and father of Mariana. Andrei was a good-natured man and generally got well along with his brothers.
Stefan, who could not speak, just nodded. Stefan, because problems at a early age was a mute, and could not speak. Despite this Stefan was fairly well off in life and he adored his niece.
Mariana smiled at each man and spoke softly, as was her nature "Well then lets hear your proposals". She nodded at Uncle Pavel first
"Mariana you must realize if we are to survive as a nation we must reform, this means we must do away with Grandmother's out dated laws. That means you must change the laws of succession and give rights to men." said Pavel in a slipperly tone of voice
"Uncle Pavel, I told you at the coronation what my answer was." answered Mariana rising from her chair. She was bone tired of Uncle Pavel trying to slip and sither his way to her throne.
"It has been five, six months Mariana, surely you must have-_" began Uncle Pavel
"NO! and that is my final answer Uncle Pavel!" Mariana suddenly interrupted standing up. "If you bring this up again, so help me, I will banish you!" Mariana then began to comb her hair, a habit she developed when angry.
Uncle Pavel looked shocked, then smiled creepily "Huh.... I don't believe you have the willpower to do such a thing dear Mariana. At any rate I must leave, good day" with that Pavel turned chuckling to himself
Mariana glared daggers at Uncle Pavel's retreating backside. "Anyone else have a proposal?" she asked shortly.
Uncle Stefan nodded, stood, and began 'talking' in sign language, with Andrei interpeting.
Mariana I believe the best course of action would be to focus on our country's internal development, so we can compete in the world market, also I would suggest that you increase military funding, just in case With that Uncle Stefan nodded, please with what he had 'said' and smiled.
"I agree Uncle Stefan, we shall do that" Mariana signed to Uncle Stefan, then she embraced him and watched as he left.
"Daddy do you have a suggestion?" Mariana asked her father as Uncle Stefan left.
"I agree with Stefan, daughter" said Andrei after a pause "I also think you should just banish Pavel and get on with it. I mean no disrespect but Uncle Pavel should called Uncle Deadbeat, or perhaps Uncle Snake." Andrei give his daghter a goofball smile.
Mariana laughed ,then quickly quieted down. "That was not nice Daddy" she said with a huge grin "I suppose if you have nothing more to say then I shall leave for my address to the National Congress"
Andrei smiled for a few more moments at Mariana before speaking, seriously "You have made me very proud Mariana, I am certian that your Grandmother would pleased at the young woman you turned out to be. I know you will do fine daughter, but good luck out there" he kissed her head softly
Mariana nodded and kissed her father on the cheek "Thanks Daddy, I needed that."
BEFORE THE NATIONAL CONGRESS
Mariana gulped a glass of ice water before speaking to the crowd of senators, congresswomen, and reporters. "Equals of Regola Della Donna I what to thank you for your vote of confidence in me and my proposal to bring us out into the world. I shall not fail you or our country before the world, I shall see us made a great power."
A cheer arose from the crowd listening before letting Mariana continue.
"I wish to reveal to the National Congress that as of announcement Regola Della Donna shall focus on our econmny so that we better compete in the world market. I also wish to announce that we shall increase military spending, just in case of riots or revolutions. I thank you for listening to me, good night and God bless."
Another cheer arose as Mariana stepped down from the podium and walked out. I hope that was good she thought nervously as she exited the chamber and walked into the transmission room.
A MESSAGE TO ALL NATIONS
A image of an teenager with long curling black hair, blue eyes, and dressed in a elaborate red, gold, and purple robe appears on screen. "Hello, I am Mariana Andreiovna Remizena, Grand Duchess of the nation of Regola Della Donna. My nation has been isolated form the rest of the world for a long time, because our land is hidden by mountain ranges. But I, Grand Duchess Mariana have decided to lead my country out of it's cave. If you are interested in us, please contact us in any of the following ways below. Thank you, and may you be blessed"
