The limousine in the center of thenonfreeian, motorcade slowly made its way up to the front of residency of the head of state. Inside the car was a delegation of 4. 3 of them were members of the executive board. The 13-member council that led their Nation with absolute Authority.

The one who said closest to the front in the limousine was named Michael Mather's. It was a tall man standing almost 6 feet 8 inches tall with a well-defined heavily athletic build that would have made him a rugby star in most other nations. His skin was a light brown complexion. He wore probably the fanciest suit amongst the three with an intricate 3-piece pinstripe design with his hands covered in no less than three rings. He wore on his face a well-trimmed beard with the rest of his head shaved clean. Before becoming a member of the board he was the CEO of the largest pharmaceutical company in the nation. He had started out as a kid selling weed that he had grown and his own Hydroponics set-up in the undercity and it's slowly build that into a network of dispensaries and then branched out into other drugs before founding a pharmaceutical company that dominated the market and exported to numerous Nations across the globe. Approaching 43 he was on the average of members of the board of directors as far as age went.

Sitting next to him was a woman who looked to be in her mid-thirties. Dr. Julian Ziegler had been the director of the institution of development which was in charge of guaranteeing and overseeing scientific advancement in the nation. She had started her career as an aeronautical engineer working for Polanco in their Aerospace division. She had pioneered the sensor technology that allowed the creation of her Nations global positioning system and allowed it to be the most accurate built at that time. More impressively she had done that before even receiving her doctorate degree. If she had been appointed to a member of the science committee which oversaw all scientific research in the nation and paid out grants the promising research projects as well as overseeing inter corporate research and development. After being put in charge of the division she had slowly worked her way up to finally being invited to join the board of directors just three years prior on her 36th birthday. Now it's 39 she was also among the average.

But the Oddity amongst the group was a man who was practically ancient. Small in stature and with his skin barely concealing his bones it was no surprise that this man was the oldest member of the council. At 104 years old executor of the bank Reginald Barclay what's the oldest man to sit on the council as well as one of the oldest people in the nation. He also was one of the most powerful. Being in charge of the largest bank in the country as well Being in charge of the largest bank in the country gave him a commanding position over the nation's economy. It was because of his importance that he had survived the Civil War and the coup. he pets in the bank go from an institution run by royalty to the collapse of the monarchy and the rise of the corporate government.
The fourth member of the delegation sitting next to him was his nurse a quiet woman who rarely made eye contact and talked to him to Whispers.

Michael broke the Silence of the moment looking at the executor " aren't you a little old to be doing diplomatic events like this Barclay?"

" maybe. But if I stop moving I know it'll be the end of me. I'm like a shark Michael. My heart will stop if I do"

The delegation soon pulled up and exited their vehicles with Reginald exiting first pressing his came to the ground. The lights illuminated his rather keep looking suit. There was nothing intricate about it it was just a simple blue navy suit. He certainly looked quite different from the intricately dressed scientist to war and exquisite black dress with intricate blue wee things throughout and the pharmaceutical company CEO with his pinstriped three piece suit

Ranxiagrir stood on a balcony, looking over all of his people talking and having a good time in the courtyard. He made a signal with his hand and a large bell sounded. Everyone looked up at the ruler and he a raised his hand, signalling that he was going to make a speech. 'My people' he started 'today is my 56th birthday!' some cheering followed this statement 'I am lucky to have ruled over all of you lovely people for so long, so today I wish to give back. Many of you I personally know, but to those I do not, feel free to approach me and introduce yourself. Now the food and drink bars will be opened shortly, and the party will begin, but first a few words' he cleared his throat 'for a long time we have been isolated, with the shock of 1967, but in the coming years I intend to change that. Our trade will most likely be doubled in the year to come, and I will be taking a larger stance in international politics. I do need something from all of you however. In order for us to connect with other nations I will be creating a tourism industry, and I will also be encouraging migration into Kauzka. These migrants and tourists need to be welcomed if this is to succeed. Do not fear for your jobs or way of life, as the Council and I will be carefully monitoring the number of these migrants, and the effect they have on society. This is actually a chance to spread our culture, for you all to show these new Kauzkans our way of life, so that we can help them settle in our society. This is a chance for us to be respected and loved by other nations so today, on my 56th birthday, I announce the International Kauzkan Program'. Ranxiagrir stepped down from the balcony and cheering filled the courtyard. The food and drink bars opened, delicious smells wafting through the air. Ranxiagrir made his way into the courtyard, accompanied by a guard, to join in on the festivities.

JEM of Aethelia found this invitation very curious.

"Birth...day? People record and celebrate the day and year that they were born? Do they actually remember their birth and reminisce about it? I'm uncertain I want to hear that speech, if he gives one, but I must try to keep an open mind... this is exactly why I need to go, our mission is to explore these strange customs that these other nations have so that we can gain inspiration and influence through shared ideas and culture.

Maybe I could even have one of these birthday things myself someday, I'm probably between 25 and 40 years old by now... probably born in mid-April, we do love to get particularly wild in our Aethelian Summer festivals... I'll try to arrange a thirty-somethingth birthday for myself, and get my parents to talk about my birth and conception, if that's what we're supposed to do at one of these things. Or am I just supposed to celebrate my 56th birthday specifically? I should ask, maybe they have some religious superstitions regarding the number 56 or something like that. I hope they don't just have a low life expectancy there and consider themselves lucky to live to 56 and that's why they do it... maybe we should share our modern medicine with them if they need it as a sign of goodwill? Unsure, won't know until I get there."

It was time to stop speculating and choose up to 10 people to bring with her. The invitation did not specify that the others also had to be political leaders, so she gathered her partners and asked which of them would like to go to a 'birthday' celebration. After mentioning there would be food there, they all volunteered, forcing JEM to just pick the 9 who looked like they responded the fastest: Sarisa, Sorsha, Jinhe, Mako, Janus, Asher, Luna, Akira, and Talia.

Being assured that security would be taken care of and thus not needing much mobility, and seeing that such an event would be formal based on the invitation, JEM determined it would be best not to arrive only in full body paint (the other nations so far don't seem to think highly of that, best to not risk it), instead picking her best, brightest, most elaborate rainbow dress with her personal sigil of a blue moon etched on it for this formal event. This would be sure to impress them enough that they'll know that JEM is a true leader of a nation.

Now prepared to represent Aethelia at this event, JEM and her similarly impressively dressed partners arrive at the palace by bus, eager to get to the event, sample all of the food, discover the culture of this nation, and, if there's time, do some diplomatic stuff too.
