“But I don’t wanna!”

The small girl stamped her foot with a furious expression on her face that made Abdul Kahn’s heart melt a little for his daughter’s determination. It reminded him of his own childhood, being forced to attend boring social events that his father had attended as a high-ranking military officer. He had apparently, at seven years old, shouted and screamed all through the ceremony for his father’s promotion to Colonel, something he had apologised for many years later. Remembering his own parent’s words, Kahn lowered himself to his knees and gently held out his hands to his daughter. Reluctantly, the girl held out hers and placed her tiny fingers in Abdul’s palms.

“I know, Farseea,” Kahn said gently, holding his daughter’s hands lightly. “It won’t take very long, I promise. And then,” he continued as he gave the girl a gentle hug, “you can come straight home and watch television until its bed-time.”

The girl looked up with bright blue eyes. “Promise?” she asked in a tiny voice.

Kahn smiled. “I promise, my little eagle,” he said, and the tiny Farseea smiled. Abdul then stood, holding the small girls hand and looked across at his wife, who stood with a quiet smile of her own from the other side of the room. Abdul took a deep breath and straightened his jacket. “How do I look?” he said with a nervous grin.

Shabha Kahn chuckled quietly, walking across to her husband and straightening his tie. “As handsome as the day we met,” she said, smiling into his eyes. “Although with a few more pounds,” she added, tapping his stomach playfully.

Abdul snorted, giving his wife a kiss on the cheek. “Civilian life takes away from my fitness regime a little,” he acknowledged, squeezing his wife’s hand.

They were interrupted by a knock at the door, and a voice from the other side. “We’re ready for you, sir,” it said.

Abdul took one last look in the mirror, and took a deep breath. “Okay,” he said, turning to his wife and daughter. “Let’s go.”

They stepped out of the room and into a long corridor full of people in black tie that waited. Abdul smiled at one man in particular, grasping his hand in a brotherly greeting. “Lameh,” he said with a grin. “We made it.”

Lameh Al-Fadee grinned back from under a scarred face. “Yes we did, old friend,” he said gently. “It’s our time now.”

The group walked up the corridor to a set of double doors, behind which hummed the muffled conversation of hundreds of voices. A pair of soldiers flanked the door, each at straight attention. They saluted as the group approached, and Abdul returned the salute habitually. Standing between the two infantrymen was an older man in black tie holding a long, black rod with a gold eagle adorning the top. Abdul smiled at the man, straightening his posture. “Mister Speaker, could you please tell the Parliament that I would like to speak to them?” he asked politely.

The Speaker of the Parliament nodded, turning to the double doors. He banged twice on the centre of the door with the gold eagle adorning the rod, and the doors were opened from the other side by another pair of military soldiers. The hum of conversation ceased from within as the Speaker stepped through. “Members of Parliament, the President of the Kalbeki Republic.”

Applause began to ripple within the chamber as Abdul took one last deep breath and he, his wife and a still sulking daughter stepped through to the other side, and opened a whole new era in national history.

Kalbeki National News (KNN) Transcript #3451 – Aired 07/02/08

Newly-elected President Abdul Kahn addressed the Parliament today following the Kalbeki National Party’s (KNP) landslide victory in the Presidential elections earlier this week.

Speaking of a “new era in Kalbeki politics,” President Kahn re-iterated the main policies of the National Party. He emphasised the government’s commitment to greater economic liberalisation and to move away from the state economic control that has remained the norm since independence from the Soviet Union over fifteen years ago. The government, President Kahn said, would encourage the development of small businesses and promised to judge the larger state-owned corporations by the forces of the market to improve the economic situation of the country. However, the President did not go so far as to announce any intention of privatising these state corporations, and also re-emphasised that, under Kalbeki law, the majority shares in any company in Kalbekistan can only be held by those of Kalbeki nationality. These two elements are seen as important concessions to the Nationalist Party of Kalbeki (NPK) and to the more nationalist elements within the KNP itself. Furthermore, the President emphasised that state subsidies to these national corporation would be gradually reduced over an unspecified period of time, rather than simply cut off. “The National Corporations are an important part of this country,” the President said. “It is up to us to introduce them to the market gradually, rather than apply shock tactics seen elsewhere. When someone is injured, you do not simply throw them out of hospital before they are ready.”

The President also highlighted the government’s commitment to greater international contact. “Since our independence, we have only held diplomatic relations with our regional neighbours,” the President said. “However, my government is committed to opening diplomatic relations with any nations of the world that wish to do so, to further our knowledge and take our rightful place on the world stage.”

Whilst some are calling the KNP victory “a landslide” and “the dawn of a new era”, the reality of change is likely to be much slower. President Kahn won 65% of the vote in the Presidential elections, but the Parliamentary spread is much closer. Of the 300 seats in Parliament, the KNP holds 102, with the NPK holding 80 seats and comprising the second-largest party in Parliament. The third largest number is held by the Communist Party of Kalbekistan, who still maintains considerable support from older generations and with 54 seats maintains a considerable voice in Kalbeki politics. The remaining 64 seats are split between the fundamentalist Kalbeki Islamic Front (33 seats), who claim to “truly represent” the majority Muslim population of Kalbekistan and advocate Sharia Law, the ultra-capitalist Kalbeki Democratic Front (16 seats) and the self-explanatory Isolationist Party of Kalbekistan (15 seats). With legislation on economic, social and political fronts, President Kahn and his party will likely make several concessions on their manifesto promises, and the pace of change will be less optimistic then some people expect. However, it is likely that the policy of greater international involvement will play an important part in Kalbeki history yet to come, as the Republic of Kalbekistan attempts to place itself in the world’s hierarchy.

Official Diplomatic Communique

To His Majesty Emperor Georg Friedrich and Chancellor Friedrich Glogauer of the German Empire

The Government of the Republic of Kalbekistan would like to thank the German Empier for its welcome to the world stage and its praise of our succession to democratic control following membership of the Soviet Union. We would like to echo our desire for an exchange of embassies, and would gladly enter into negotiations regarding a trade agreement between our two states.

To the Ivan Rucinsky, Foreign Minister of the Empire of Neo-Ixania

The Republic agrees with the concepts of easing tourist restrictions between our two states and zero-tarrif trade between our respective nations. We would also be interested in the principle of negotiating an alliance between our two countries, subject to greater debate between our governments regarding the terms of said alliance.

To the Rt Hon. Edward Marsh, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for the Sovereign Kingdom of Bruxella

On behalf of President Abdul Kahn of the Republic of Kalbekistan, I would like to thank the Secretary of State and His Sovereign Majesty for their welcome to the world stage. We would like to pursue an exchange of embassies between our two countries, and will actively begin procedures to establish an embassy within the capital of the Sovereign Kingdom.

To the Questarian Empire - SECRET MESSAGE

We thank the Empire for its welcome to the world stage, and agree to the prospect of a free trade agreement between our two states. We also agree in principle to the establishment of military personnel within the Kalbeki territory and providing Beaufort Gas Corp a 5% cut in mining natural gas reserves on the continent in exchange for the defensive offers put forward. However, due to currently high levels of nationalist tendencies in both the people and the parliament of the Republic, we ask for the establishment of just one military base at this present time, as three foreign bases on Kalbeki soil would cause a public backlash against this administration in the next elections. We also agree to an exchange of embassies between our two states and also to co-operation between the Questarian intelligence services and the Kalbeki Secret Service (KSS), which manages both domestic and international intelligence operations.
