A man walks onto a podium, with a red-white flag behind him, on a press conference.
Lee Hsien Loong.


"Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for coming. Today, a new state emerges to take its place in the play that is the world, and this state is the Republic of Singapore.
My name is Lee Hsien Loong, and I am the Prime Minister of this small but beautiful country. To my left is our dear President, Mister Goh Chok Tong."



Goh nodded and waved into the camera, the arm raised only slightly and only the hand itself moving.
"Greetings."

Lee continued.
"Now, some information about us. Singapore is a small Parliamentary Republic, located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with an area of about 710.2 square kilometers. Our country has 15,486,534 people, with roughly 960,000 men and women serving in the armed forces. Let me show you what Singapore looks like."
A picture was shown.


"Images, from top, left to right: The Merlion by the central business district, the Singapore Zoo entrance, then the "Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay", the Gateway of Sentosa, the Statue of Thomas Stamford Raffles, who gave Singapore its name, then the Downtown Core of Singapore and lastly, the Raffles Hotel."

"And now, for the anthem, Majulah Singapura."
The Singaporean anthem began playing.

After it finished, the announcement seemed to not be over.
"And now, a short movie made by a Singaporean, about our country. It is fitting, in my opinion."
He grinned, and We Live In Singapura began to play, Lee fading out and the video fading in.

At the time, we do not wish to establish pacts. We want to get to know our neighbours better.

OOC to Arkantos: From now on, we live in Singapura. Also watch the 2 youtube vids I linked to in the last parts of my post.
To N Reeki: Nordland is in the way. ;_;

"Thank you for your welcome.
Regarding the free trade, this is an immensely generous offer, and we happily accept this gift. About the embassy, we'd like to learn more about the exact structure of your country. What, precisely, would be the difference between an imperial embassy or a state-by-state embassy plan?"

"Thank you. We'll certainly enjoy the dishes and fruit. You wouldn't happen to have sent wine, as well? The President loves wine."

"The President would like Marsala wine, if it's not too much of a hassle."

OOC: Did you know about 90% of italian wines are made in the north, as it seems? O.o
Click and click through the various regions in the lower part, of "major wine regions". lol

"For those who are curious, let us show you where Singapore is located."

"Singapore will keep the strait open as it has always been, though we may raise tolls for passing through - small, so that even weaker nations can easily pay them."
