The Nation of Selenarctos

As the applause of thousands of citizens resounds through the Capital Plaza, the flag of The Nation of Selanarctos is raised high above on the designated capital building. Plans for a more permanent capital building are already underway, but until then the Selenarctans turn to the Govenor Hotel.

The crowds grows quiet as IKrolm emerges onto the decorated balcony overlooking the plaza. With few, unceremonious words he outlines his plans for The Nation:

1. The Nation must develop to its full economic potential.

2. The Nation must obtain the means to defend itself, through purchase, production and friendship.

3. The Nation must preserve the rights of every citizen to the fullest of its ability.

4. To these ends shall The Nation be fully devoted, with no foal bearing more weight nor of such importance as to the exclusion of any other goal.

To scattered applause from a much more subdued crowd, IKrolm turned and reentered the Governor Hotel to begin the work of organizing more than 6.9 million citizens into a modern, productive society.

There are about 7 million of our people who were stuck on Mindanao during the fall of the Phillippines. Would it be possible for us to bring them back?

OOC: It's something from before your time, iKrolm. I hope you allow me.

Also, your sig is too big. Max sig size is 450 x 150.
