The Queens Palace, central N'djamena
The large press room of the palace is decorated ornately with royal blue and blood red curtains running down the sides alternately giving it a very regal feel; the stage is obviously wooden and worn possibly built with the castle several hundred years ago. The castle itself is at least eight centuries old and has been the home to at least seven monarchs. The current raining monarch is Queen Katriana O'Brien; the nation was born when descendants of the Irish, Japanese and Russians that inhabited the land elected to unite as one country under then King Animarnia around the time Christ was said to be preaching love and peace.
The podium bore the emblem of the nation embossed in sliver; the free press was gathered in the room most in folding chairs the rest standing in the alcoves and at the back of the room. It was rare for the queen herself to give a speech to the nation outside of times of war; this was usually left to the High Elder. So the gathered reporters had both a sense of anticipation, curiosity and fear about what might be coming. There had been no prior agenda announced which left peoples fear to become rumour, Zaire was getting uppity recently or what Animarnian's considered uppity at any rate and there was rumours flying all over.
The talk of the crowed dyed down to hushed whispers and then silence as Queen Katriana O'Brien took the stage; her long dark and off blonde hair offset with speckles of red a very unusual hair colour indeed. She was no older than 30 having acceded the throne after her parent's premature death in an aviation accident there was no king. She wore a long white regal dress and a gold tiara; she was the true picture of strength and beauty wrapped in perfect loveliness.
She took a moment to clear her throat before speaking.
"My fellow Animarnian's; I know many of you are wondering why you are here and why I am delivering this speech; I know many of you fear what this speech will yield. My predecessors, my own late Parents included took the stand once a year at Yule or in time of declaring hostile intent towards another nations. I want to assure you all that there is no hostile action currently being initiated towards any sovereign nation at this time. I would also like to inform the great people of Animarnia that as monarch I will be taking this podium regularly to deliver speeches and will be more involved with the politics and direction of the nation more than my predecessors. I do this in hope to make Animarnia one of the most prosperous nations in this region or the world so you have nothing to fear when I take this stand" she said her voice resonating with authority and at the same time understanding.
"Now onto matters of business, I'm sure you all have an idea I did not summon you hear for Tea and Crumpets" she said with a slight chuckle; this was repeated throughout the room by the gathered media.
"As you all know; this month marks the Annual Royal Air show; at RAF N'djamena. This year I would like to invite all nations of the world to bring there aircraft and there diplomats to our nation to take part in the air show at RAF N'djamena near our nations capital" she said with an inviting smile.
"It is with great hope that I offer this invitation to the world to come and enjoy themselves regardless of ideology, government religion or race all are welcome. The Annual Airshow will feature aircraft from our own nation of course and also provide aircraft manufactures with a world stage to show off there latest designs and performance against competitors"
"Come; be merry and dine with us and may the Gods watch over you all" she said with a smile and then left the stage; the invitation was then broadcast worldwide to all international media outlets
