Meanwhile President Saáry is attending the Presidential Honor parade in the capitol city of Saáry. There, several detachments of Ursava's armed forces, civilian groups, and even people from the sidewalks walk in honor of the country's first true president. However, given her long service terms have been discussed to set standards for presidency, total time one can serve, and how many times one can run.
