Raptior, Capitallia; Jewittist Republic

The capital was abuzz. The FIA (Federal Information Agency) and RIS (Republic Investigation Society) had been calculating thousands of census reports. The 3,000,000,000th person to be born in the Jewittist Republic was about to behold. The problem was how to celebrate this, if they were to, and on who it would be.

It was decided a few months earlier that all hospital births were to be recorded and added to the new "finally updated" population count. As the numbers reached the ninth digit of 2,999,999,990, everyone got tense.

Fifty six hospitals reported in that they had multiple births comming within the hour. The time had come, and the politicans knew that this would be a new step for the Republic, when it becomes an offical member of the Three Billion Club and more respected, regaining lost respect of years in isolation.

Yells and cries were heard in a crowded room. On a pale bed, not quite white, was a woman who had a belly which was nearly perfectly round. Her face was full of stress and dispair, eight and a half months of this was finally comming to an end. "One more, I can its head!" Yelled a doctor in a crimson robe from a previous operation; he had no time to clean up himself properly beyond his arms.

They did not know if it was a boy or girl, the tests and ultrasound always showed the baby's backside or head, it never gave a clear shot inbetween the legs to find out its gender. And in the fact, there were two, twins, of which both were unknown of their genders.

With a violent scream and a violent strike of pain of a last hope, crying was heard and the doctor bent over and the nurse brought him a towl. "Mrs. Horrez, it is a girl." He said in italian triumphantly pulling her out. "Alright, lets hurry and get her other sibling. I will need a few more pushes, come on, you can do it!" The doctor encouraged her as she pushed and the tensing of her area was felt by the doctor, awaiting the other baby's head.

The father grabbed his daughter lovingly, and at seeing her child close up, the mother gave a series of violent pushes. "Here it comes..." Commented the doctor eagerly. They had known about the 3 billionth person count that was going on now, he had just delivered the 2,999,999,999th person in the Republic. No other hospitals had their patients quite this close to giving birth yet, he was sure to deliver the 3 billionth, but he was not aware.

"I can see its head! It's a girl!" He yelled with joy as he pulled out the second daughter of the two. The cries of both babies was reassuring. The nurse pulled out a notebook and wrote down their names. Janet and Carly Horrez. The 3,000,000,000th person had been born, Carly Horrez.

Oured, Farway; Jewittist Republic
The news had struck the citizenry very lightly. No one really cared, like no one would care after 300,000,000 would be reached in a thinking-it-is-powerful country.

The Chancellor had been conversing with his Controlees lately about what to do with this great accomplishment. After reaching a decision, he finally wrote it down, past it through the Republican Council, and with it passing (without media attention) decided to call a meeting on it.

The day was windy, cloudy, and sunless. A typical day in Farway. A podium, made of traditional redwood, finely polished for the best of standerds, ontop of a stage which had fixed seats.

A stadium, the Myers Standium, to be exact, the first place where "football" (playing with an odd-shaped ball, not to be considered "soccar") was played in the Republic. The stadium was the second largest in the world, only rivaling one in Dommingsland.

The skyroof was down, and the wind could be heard. The wind set a perfect mood. A unique state with so many diversities. The Chancellor after a while made his way to his seat as th pre-speech began with band playings and all the good stuff like that. As the end of the national anthem came around, the saluting government officals bowed down as the Chancellor came up with the other three Controlees to the podium.

He stood there and said victoriuously "Today, an event happened that no one really cares about. Why? We have lost our nationalism, patriotism, the thing that set us apart from our colonial days.

"We sit here now, in this massive standium built with our own hands, wondering. Why was this built if the sport that it was to serve is barely played nationaly, let alone internationaly? Why is it still here when an airfield could be made for a game of SkyLink, or maybe a field for Fretball? Well, the answer is clear. We will not allow our past to leave us.

"Once we were a broken chain of islands made of nearly five hundred different colonial nations. We all broke, united into a union, to fight for our own independance. As the Great War came around we fought against the cause in our own island chain that threatend our freedom! I rose out of this civil disrest and united us again, and yet I have failed you in my promise in total unification of the Emeraldia Island Chain!"

In a ferious rage he calmed. The crowd was confused. This was supposed to be a happy, joyous speech, but it was serious. Something no one expected.

"Today, I formally declair war on the one nation I was unable to bring back into the Jewittist Republic, the Enzoist Sovergeinty of Bega, or as you all know, the Bega Federation. The communist ideals used in this authoritarian socialist government shows that they use our technology of direct democracy to oppress the people, seeing their every movements! This is why I was unable to fight them before hand, their people were brainwashed.

"Their psyicological practices had made their entire population an army, and army that will never stop. An army of nearly a billion, willing to die so their leader can live an other day.

"I will unite these islands finally, I will destroy the Enzoists to our doors, and totally decimate their race, the total destruction of all those loyal is the only way to unite our chain of islands, and to do this, we must destroy them now! We are three billion strong, two and a half billion stronger than last time we fought, we shall win this victory! Para ustedes canciller!"

The crowd now knowing what was comming, started to chant Para mi Canciller, Para mi Canciller "For my Chancellor, For my Chancellor[/i].

The Douvier and Presidente both walked up the young Chancellor after he had ended the speech with some more words. "I guess now we are in for a big fight." The Douvier smiled at saying. "Are you crazy? To take the entire Sovergeinty over, we would have to kill every citizen! It is impossible, just like they can't take any of our land. Both sides are loyal to their nations, freely or forcefully." The two looked at the Presidente. He was known for being for tolerance of the Enzoist and Jewittist rivalries. The Chancellor looked at him and said "When Jewittism is brought to the Bega Federation and their influencial state of Mattian, we are finished. But until then, my job is not yet done, and I am sixteen so I got a lot of years until this has to be done." The Presidente would be problem, and all of the proJewittists knew it.


OOC: Feel free to jump in on the speech. I am sure a lot will be watching it, since everyone knows that sooner or later the Enzoist and Jewittist nations will go to war again.
