The President's office had called this press conference after much debate had gone through her cabinet, many officials had resigned in disagreement but she forged ahead and pushed, now it was time to reveal it all to the world.
She walked through the hallways through The First Manor with Sicherheitstaffel personnel watching over her, this was Elsa Berger, President of the Aequatian Republic and one of the youngest to take power in the nation's history. Her chestnut hair which was normally long and sat on her shoulders had been tied back to match the professionalist look of her simple and conservative outfit, which was also not unlike her own personality. She believed so much in making the Republic one of the greatest nations the world had ever seen, and was prepared to leave her mark upon such podiums belonging to the Great Founder Bomfy or Nicklas Schaeffer.
It was a sea of light and she stepped out into the open and approached the podium, a mutiltude of microphones were held onto its edge like a bouquet of gray roses. Television cameras stood throughout the crowd among the reporters and photographers, each one she stared into gave billions of Aequatians and citizens around the world the feeling that she meant business. As the flashes died down and the room came to an eerie silence, she spoke into the microphones.
"My fellow Aequatians and people of the world, I come before you today to enlighten you all to the suspected troubles within my Cabinet and upper echelons of the National Senate. Since our nation's founding many years ago, there has been a gift awaiting us, a certain birthright for every citizen who has been born, lived, bled or even died to protect the ideals for which this nation was built upon. We fought our way into creation and are now enjoying the fruits of that hard labour, but it is not enough... The Aequatian People have earned far more than what we have and we have been denied! No longer will this injustice be tolerated, this nation and its people will finally receive what has been a long time coming.
So from this day forth, whatever we see fit to assimilate within the Republic's borders, we shall through any actions deemed necessary. This is our time of ascension and we will not tolerate those who choose to stand in our way."
With those final words, Berger stepped down from the podium and saluted the large Aequatian flag draped on the wall behind her and exited with her security personnel offstage.
OOC: Basically, this is my turning to imperialism. I figured I've played long enough as a corrupt "protector" of sovereignty that it was time to switch over to the dark side.
