President Keith Johnson strode slowly to the pulpit looking microphone stand and placed his hands on either side of it. It had been a long hard day, but hours of deliberating had led to this specific moment. The Senate was under ordinary circumstances extremely quick in making decisions, but today they had debated for seemingly endless ammounts of time. One thing could be said, they were long winded.

Keith smiled before the thousands of cameras that flashed in his face. Prominent among them was GNN (Geneticon Network News). A reporter sat in teh front row, a camera focused on her only moments before the President approached. The GNN reporter spoke. "It seems that the Senate has come to big decision with approval from the President. We're not quite sure how big yet, but we know that-- Wait! Here he comes..." The camera wrenched around to focus on Keith.

"Good evening." Keith said strongly, and he paused to wipe his sweating brow and sip his water glass. "Today the Senate and I came to an extremely important decision that will shape the future of our nation for the next three years." Everyone in the huge hall was holding their breath, he would speak further. A pindrop could be heard.

"Today we decided on a period of isolation for our nation. For the next three years, our nation will refuse to interact with any other nations from around the world." Gasps went up all over the hall. This was news indeed. "As a leading member of CASS, we will have to temporarily withdraw, but will return once the period of isolation is over. GAFE will be completely shut down for foreign exports for the next three years. After that, foreign exports will continue as normal."

People sat in their seats. Shocked.

Keith sipped his water again and continued, "This is done primarily for security and financial reasons... although the exact reasons we cannot voice at this time." Keith raised his hands. "We will ignore any foreign messages after 8 a.m. tommorow morning. That is when Enactment forty-one dot thirty-eight will be enforced. To the nations of the world, Geneticon wishes you the best of luck... and God Bless you all! God Bless Geneticon! On the shoulders of the world... we will prosper!"

The reporters quickly wrote their notes, some tearing up their sheets in their haste. This was the biggest enactment in over twenty years. Amazing. Geneticon would enter a three year period of isolation.


Enactment 41.38:

For the purposes discussed in Senate meeting 122150A.34 filed under the said number, this Enactment is suggested and enforced. The general purpose is to provide a financial and security boost to Geneticon in teh following three years. It is with great sobriety that this enactment is proposed and enforced. It should be noted that this is done for extreme purposes, and Geneticon does not enact this lightly. Geneticon wishes all foreign nations the best.

With these thoughts, Geneticon moves forward with this enactment:

DEFINING Isolation as complete and utter ignorance, seperation, and lack of contact.

FURTHER DEFINING Period as a time of three years under this enactment.

UNDERSTANDING that it is in our nation's best interest both financially and otherwise to establish this proposal.

THIS ENACTMENT PROPOSES:

A. That Geneticon begin a period of isolation immediately at eight-hundred (800) hours on June the second (2nd), two-thousand-six (2006).

B. That GAFE begin a period of isolation immediately at eight-hundred (800) hours on June the second (2nd), two-thousand-six (2006).

C. That Geneticon and GAFE both do all possible to benefit the nation in the next three years, to take advantge of this situation.



OOC: I am leaving NS and the forums for the summer, only having rare internet access in the next two months. I will still be around, reading posts and playing a few RPs, but I will be unable to conduct foreign business and upkeep my storefront (GAFE, see signature). Tomorrow at 8 am I leave. If you want, you can tag this for reference or post your nations reaction to this enactment. It's basically a glorified IC way to say I'll be leaving the game for a little while, but I will back!!!

Good gaming with you all these past few months, and I pray we have many more months to come.... God Bless Ya'll!

OOC: Ditto. Have a fantastic summer... I hope to see you and RP with you in August. If not, it has been a fun ride, and good RPing with you. You're a great player. I'll still be playing Francas in the Force over the summer, if it lasts that long. :)

[OOC: Well, I have not interacted much with you Geneticon, but like what DMG and Bekhaera has said, have a nice summer! Hope you can bring us back great tales of how it went in August....oh, and as a last question, is the title of this thread based off a verse in the Christian Bible?]

Are you going to keep the 24RP going? I'm in quite similar RL situation, but that RP was so promising that I thought I'd keep up with it regardless... dunno how you feel about it.

OOC: Thanks.. my summer was great! I'm back now. Hope you had a great summer too. Mine was fantastic.

I wish I could say the title was from the Bible... but it wasn't. To clarify, I am a Christian, and that dictates a lot of my RPing... so occasionally you'll see hints of the Bible thrown in my RPs.

Sorry.... I was gone the entire summer and wasn't even able to respond to this. I really want to keep the 24 RP going if we can. I will bump it back up and wait for a response.

A smiling man walked accross the hall he had not entered for three years. He took a cloth from his coat and wiped dry the sweat which caked his forehead. This was the moment he had been waiting for the last three years. Now Geneticon would once more be a large part of the world's diplomacy. The isolation had aided in allowing Geneticon to get back on it's two feet financially and emotionally, but now they would once again be released to the world.

Johnson spoke into the numerous microphones. "In accordance with the enactment, the isolation is hereby lifted. Geneticon has reopened GAFE for business and is now excited to continue involvment with the rest of the world. That is all..."

Keith stepped back and savored the moment in the lights. It was noisy and hot, but he still enjoyed it. Finally, Geneticon would be restored to it's normal international glory.


OOC: To make a long story short... I'm back and ready to RP!

OCC: Welcome Back

IC: Why most citizens of United Earthlings went about their day upon hearing the end of the Isolationist period in Geneticon, others especially in positions of power were happy to hear such news as this meant new business opportunities and the reestablishing of ties between peaceful nations.

King Winston I, personnally submitted a letter wishing Geneticon the best and hoping that its period of Isolation had been producative.
