The Beatus

The City of the Blessed
A military parade marched though the city, lead by His Holiness, Edwardo Listless, still in his military fatigues. It was a celebration marking the end of tensions with Cripistan (see thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=541284) and here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=542916)). People were gathered on the streets and in they're windows watching the troops and tanks go by. When the parade reached the Royal Temple, His Holiness, Edwardo Listless got up at a podium and addressed the nation, and the world,
Today is a great day for the Theocracy of the Beatus. War has been averted, we have come out victorious, and those who were responsible for the deaths of the bishops and kidnapping of the prior have apologized. We set out to accomplish a goal and we did. I was there, sitting on a landing ship right next to these soldiers that stand before you. I ate with them, I talked with them, and I worried with them. As most of us do, I know what war is like, I still have nightmares of some of the things I have seen, and I am glad we were able to solve this problem peacefully. I would also like to thank Jim Lange for filling in for me while I was preparing to fight, and for negotiating a peaceful solution to this incident. I hereby proclaim this day Jim Lange day in honor of his great service to this nation. I will now take questions from those of you in the international press.
