Due to the increase in the polarization of Europa Atlantica between the New Oslo Pact (NOP) and the Atlantican Union (AU) the Republic and several other neutral Atlantican nations have agreed to meet in the capital to discuss the formation of an alliance for regional peace.

Kennyopolis – The nations of ----Kenny----, Beatus, and Corbournne will be meeting at Árus an Uachtaráin over the next several days to discuss the tense situation in Europa Atlantica and an appeal to peace. The Foreign Ministry has announced that there is a chance of the formation of a neutral alliance. This has gotten a more positive support among the people, whereas joined either of the two major alliances has been met with stiff opposition and unpopularity.

Security has been boosted greatly in preparation for the arrival of the foreign delegates. The fear of an attack is highly unlikely, but the same if not more precaution is taking effect. The police are already trying to control protests in the capital, which for the most part have been under control. Police offices from nearby cities have been called on to help boost security.

The public reaction varies greatly with many still feeling this will interfere with the Republic’s neutrality, others feel it is a step in the right direction. “It’s about time we start taking an active role in the region, the nation needs more of a presence as a peacekeeper.” says pedestrian Anita Hill. Others were not as optimistic: “Get these foreigners out, this will only lead to wars or some arms race, we’ve been quite fine since independence and we need to stick with the status quo!” yells protester John Lane from behind the police barricade and waving a sign saying “KENNYIAN NEUTRALITY FTW!!!”.

Kennyopolis, ----Kenny----
Árus an Uachtaráin
9:10 AM


President Mark Velo was in his office reading over his itenerary for the day. He didn't mind conferences, but was no fan of them either. One of his secretaries, Susan Brooks entered his office.

"Mr. President, the conference room is ready."

"Very good, is there any word on the arrival of the delegates?"

"None yet, although they should be quite close by now, sir."

"Thank you, Ms. Brooks."

Sara departed from the office to help with preparations

The President went back to looking over his papers and the daily retinue

[ooc: For the sake of progress please skip forward to the arrival at the President's home.]

Message: With our people's Kennyian sentiments through our shared Celtic heritage, Radio Telefís Cináedann has many viewers within New Pictavia. As such, news of the anticipated Kennyopolis Conference swiftly found its way to my desk. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the Kennyian peoples and all others attending the conference the peace which they seek, and offer the possibility of full cooperation from the Atlantican Union pending the decision of our membership. Nevertheless, we applaud Kennyian efforts to direct Europa Atlantica towards a peaceful future where any subsequent alliance may share Europa Atlantica's prosperity and prospective tranquillity. The Atlantican Union does not seek war, we seek only to live amongst our own in peace. We seek to be a Union of the peoples of Atlantica.

Kennyopolis, ----Kenny----
Árus an Uachtaráin
9:30 AM

Corbournnian Premier Sebastien Lefebvre's motorcade pulled up in front of ----Kenny---- President Mark Velo's residence. Stepping out of his limousine, he took a prolonged, deep breath of the southern air. It was quite different from the frigid atmosphere of Corbournne in early march. Sebastien was well-rested, as he had slept well on his trip to the fellow neutral nation. A hardy breakfast had kept him content up until the present. Now, though, he began to again feel his frequent hunger pangs. It was quite a wonder that he was not overweight, nor did he have any heart problems or blood clots. Hoping that a lunch was in order for the conference, Premier Lefebvre made his way into the Árus an Uachtaráin.

Sara Fields was with the President in the entrance hall of the Presidential Residence she got a call on her phone

"Yes? I see."

"Sir, Premier Lefebvre's motorcade has arrived at the front of Árus an Uachtaráin."

President Velo walked out to the portico to greet the Premier

"Premier Lefebvre, bienvenue au Republique Kennien!" and extended his hand

He then welcomed the Premier and his attaches into the residence

"I hope you flight from Corbournne was well, and I hope you are enjoying the weather, it's a bit warmer here. While we are waiting for our Beatusian counterpart can I offer any refreshments?"

Shaking the Kennyian President's hand, the Corbournnian Premier responded. "Ah, yes, mon ami, the flight went quite smoothly. The weather is indeed nice here, it truly feels of spring. I was hoping you would ask about refreshments, as my journey has left me quite hungry. I'll welcome any authentic Kennyian cuisine your cooks can prepare for me, sir, and I fancy some vodka, as well."

(Kennyian)

President Velo said "I'm sure we can find some vodka, we'll have here soon. So tell me how are things in Corbournne?"

Moments later, a tiny plane dipped beneath the clouds. It was masterfully landed on the road before President Mark Velo's residence. The pilot then preceded to park the small plan in a small nearby parking lot, before getting out. It was Beatusian President Jim Lange. He grabbed his attaché case from the plane, and rushed across the street to the Presidents residence. Jim was also hungry, have been flying for a longtime, and forgetting to pack food.

(Fixed.)

"Well, for the most part, things are good. The economy could be better, and Le Conseil and I are always trying to remedy that, though I fear that an economy as strong as yours is a long way away. Other than that, however, all is well, government approval ratings are at their highest in ten years, and our citizens seem to be happy with the other aspects of their lives, as well. How goes ----Kenny----?"

"The Republic is currently doing well economically, the banks are open, stocks are at record high prices, but public dissatisfaction is at a high also. It is something we need a more concentrated effort towards."

Sara approached the President and the Premier

"I'm sorry to interupt, sirs, but President Lange's motocade has arrived outside the residence."

"Yes, let us go welcome the Beatusians to our fair nation."

President Velo headed out towards the portico once more

Just as President Velo walked out, just as Jim walked into the Árus an Uachtaráin. "Ah, hello, sorry if I am late. There was bad weather, and I had to fly around a few rough patches," Jim said, extending his hand toward the President.

"Actually you aren't late at all, but rather just in time." said President Velo as he shook his Beatusian Counterpart's hand
