The two corporals of the 3rd Imperial Guard Regiment on either side of the door brought themselves to attention as the new Prime Minister of Anselmus, Jacques Delacroix, walked briskly past them into his office. He had just come from attending his first session of the Anselmian Senate as Prime Minister, in which the cabinet he personally selected was formally invested with the powers of government. Now that the petty rituals were over, it was time to get down to business. First item on the agenda: the Atlantican Union.
Delacroix walked to a window and stared outside. It was a gloomy day, completely overcast, windy, and with rain in the near future. On the sidewalk below, a combined force of Imperial Guard soldiers and Metropolitan Constabulary policemen was erecting barricades in an attempt to restrain a small mob of protesters carrying signs bearing such slogans as "PEACE IN ATLANTICA", "DELACROIX IS A FASCIST", and "SAY NO TO THE AU." The Anselmian head of government smiled and shook his head. The entire reason that he was standing in this office at this moment was because left-wing scum such as these were incapable of running the country. Idiots...But back to business. Delacroix returned to his desk and began drafting a communique to his fellow Atlantican Union heads of government...

ANSELMUS
To the leaders of the nations of the Atlantican Union:
We stand at one of the most crucial times in the history of Europa Atlantica. We stand at a fork in the road, with a choice between survival and utter destruction. To our east, the New Oslo Pact grows stronger with every new member it coerces into joining its ranks. In the interests of forming a stronger bond between our great nations to better stand against this ever-increasing threat from the East, I, on behalf of the Emperor, Senate, and People of the Holy Empire of Anselmus, invite you and your ministers of defense to a summit in the Anselmian capital of Spoletium on the subject of stronger military cooperation between members of the AU. Should you personally not be able to attend, we will, of course, accomodate a suitably-ranked representative. Such topics as shard military bases, commonly adapted weapons calibers, and a unified intelligence network will be covered.
In terms of accomodations, delegations will arrive at Spoletium's Pax Romana International Airport, from which they will be escorted downtown to their hotels and the location of the summit. Delegations will be put up in the finest hotels downtown Spoletium has to offer, including the Hotel Imperial, the Hotel Anselm IV, and the Hotel Umbria. All hotels are but a short drive from the Imperial Palace, where the summit itself will be held.
Please reply with haste, wheter it be to the affirmative or negative. We await your answer hopefully.
Sincerely yours,
The Rt. Hon. Jacques Delacroix
Prime Minister of the Holy Empire of Anselmus
