Appalause and cheers are coming from the crowd now, as the Presidents gets up from the chair and to the podium. He is now going to make a speech.

My fellow Neo Rivers residents. I welcome you out here today, on this hot June afternoon. You have just witness an amagzing event, a historical event. I promise you that this consitution will protect your rights, it will keep the National government seperated from the District government, and it will also let the two governments work together. This consitution has made sure that the people you voted into the District Councils, and the House of the Republic will work in your best intrest. I have little time to watch the TV, what with the debates in the Neo River Hall, but when I do catch alittle TV time, I see Howard Hughes working hard at the UN, to do what is right not only for the country, but for the entire world of NationStates. I also see how Hughes Kidd has taken an active role in the senate of the region, I congradulate both of these men, as they send out a positive message about our country, and our region. Right now, The House of the Republic is debating to approve my choice for the Trade Offices we have established. I hope that they will aprove of them soon, so that we may start trading with our region, and other countries. I believe that a strong trade agreement with several countries will do great things for our economic growth. I would also like to thank the region of Q102, for having us. I would like to thank them for their hospitality, and their honest and fair discussion on the region senate. I think I speak for the citizen of Neo River when I say we are going to like it here. The region will start building a high speed transportation system soon, and I welcome that. Our canals, and now the High Speed Transportation system will prosper economic growth through trading. I encourgh Mr. Kidd to support the measurement. I would also like to thank our men and women in the space department, who are working around the clock to get us to the stars. There are talks in the region for a Space Station, and I want us to be a part of that. After the approval of our three trade officers, I hope that I can sit down with them, Mr. Hughes and our Foreign Respentative: Teddy Clinton Jr., to start working out trade agreements. I have already decided to give the Q102 first dibs on trading with our country, since they have welcomed us with open arms and warm hospitality. I can only see great things in the future of Neo River. Thank you and God Bless.

Now we see President Summer waving his hands and smiling, hes shaking the hands of several of his administration, and the leaders of the Q102 region, and he is now going back into the House of President. That concludes our live broadcast, but tonight we will get the reaction from the countries that were presant, and from the citizen of Neo River.
