HRH King Baselius Greetings, my fellow Ellians, and foreign onlookers. This speech is addressed to all nations, but I shall talk primarily to my people. A few weeks ago, I was a mere shepherd, helping my father tend to his flock, when the LORD ALMIGHTY anointed me as your king through the prophet Yanus, and may he rest in peace. It has been a difficult struggle to become king, it took you convincing, some more than others, to accept me as the one ruler of your tribes. But, may the tribes only be archaic names and relics of past times, dark times, for now, you have light, you are one people, on race, under God. Now, many of you have disagreed with the former Supreme Consul Coltres and his land expansion policy. Well, I do not intend to give up any land within his proposed borders, which we have recently achieved. I also do not intend to expand any further in Treplicia. In terms of domestic affairs, I plan on consolidating our fragmented economy and infrastructure, and breaking petty feudal orders to be replaced with a free enterprise system. I will also reorganize the military. Our temporary army, which was used for expansion, shall be disbanded in favor of a permanent professional land force. We have the smallest and greatest land defensive border in the world, and I plan to concentrate our forces there to make our nation impenetrable. I shall also expand the navy, to protect us from seaborne attack, and to prepare us for overseas assaults. We shall take control of the Kosporous straight, and exact tolls for any nation wishing to travel through it. I shall also establish a new air force for further military mobility. In terms of foreign affairs, aside from Coltres' rhetoric, us Ellians have not played at all on the world stage. Well I firmly intend to change that. In order to consolidate our power and not our reliance on other nations for strength, I shall withdraw the kingdom from the Treplician Defense Initiative. All treaties, alliances, and other international connections the Ellic Council may have made are now null and void. In stead of permanent, loose alliances, we shall specially select individual strong allies to establish connections with. We shall strengthen our ties with the Holy See and Kavalon for sharing the faith. But there is another troubling aspect to deal with. The Velunese Empire, a godless and oppressive foreign state from the far side of Gorgava has invaded Treplician territory near our northern border out of greed and lust. We shall put pressure on the Empire; I am not at liberty to say how this will occur, for reasons of national security. May the LORD ALMIGHTY bless you all, and may he bless this nation. Amen. |

Her Holiness Mother Regina: I would like to personally welcome Baselius as King of Ellia. My sister the Prophetess Augusta, too, spoke of a man-united in the faith-would rise and govern our brothers in foreign lands. We welcome you as the result of this prophecy. We realize that the Council of Sacratus was not so productive. As you will have heard, the Holy See no longer exists as a civil nation. It was a unanimous agreement of the College to denounce our status as a civil government. The See is in the process of adapting to our new status and fulfilling our role in the world. May the LORD ALMIGHTY bless you and your reign. With the Force of the LORD-- Amen. |
