A Viridia Day Address
Another year passed since the day that ended the illusion of a stable and friendly Green, and another year of success and relevance for Viridia. The main event of the past year was the signing of Pandora's Box – the new central bloc of its area of the treaty web, and thrusting Viridia into the spotlight.
Entering such a large and mixed bloc, in the top tier of world politics, had a predictable effect of attracting detractors, from the other power clusters. And, also predictably, the bloc made enough enemies that one of them did something which triggered a war, becoming the main event of the first half of 2011 (and still ongoing on subsiduary fronts). VE's part of that war, in the initial strike on the New Polar Order, eded in a victory, if a somewhat damaging one, and left Pandora's Box in a strong position as almost every other power cluster was defeated or disintegrated.
The appearance of the new bloc XX in May leaves the political landscape more interesting for the PB alliances, and VE, for the coming year. What will XX and PB do in the next twelve months? On that question, the fate of the world may lie.
Of course, the other big piece of news is that the Grämlin banner once again flies over Seria – although with the Viridian one, on this day, of course. The reformation of an alliance which still had some remnants remaining is a new adventure to everyone, but the alliance seems to have been received well, and working with some of the same nations that made up the original alliance in its heyday is good for all of us.
The next year is not only an interesting one on the political stage for the world as a whole, but also for the new Grämlins, and Serians. Let's make the most of it!
