In Labrador a provisional government had been set up to run the nation until the conclusion of the parliament and governor-general elections. The Acting Governor-General, Andrew Hastings, received all the recognitions of sovereignty and well wishes from the other nations. He would send them thank you responses personally before he appeared on the national television before the new Republic.

There stood a small podium with the coat of arms of Labrador adorning its front, with a thin microphone protruding from the top. Behind this on the wall was draped the flag of Labrador, the fringes of which was decorated with gold frills. Up to the podium stepped Acting Governor-General Hastings.
Hastings was relatively tall and aged, with gray hair and distinct wrinkles. He moved to position behind the podium, straightened his wire frame glasses and his papers, then began.
[i]"Ladies anGentlemen of the Republic of Labrador, I come before you to address the state of this nation. We are doing fairly well for a new state and the most pressing order of business is elections.
There are four major parties contending in the Parliament. As you, the populace, had voted, we will be operating under the westminster system of government and the Prime Minister will be chosen by the majority party and just as well we will have an official opposition. Elections will begin soon between the [color="#FF0000"]National Party[/color], [color="#0000FF"]Progressive Party[/color], [color="#9932CC"]Social-Democrat Party[/color], and the [color="#2E8B57"]Labrador Agricultural Union Party[/color]. The parties will explain to you their platforms and begin the campaigns, culminating in the vote.
Now, as for our economic situation. We have a stable economy, but it lags behind in terms of size. We should be looking to expand and broaden our economic scope, especially with regards to enhanced cooperation with our neighbors.
The last thing I will address here is our foreign policy. As of now, we have yet to establish one. Remember that foreign policy is extremely important when you are making election decisions. He have many close proximity neighbors and should aspire to work with them to improve the region's quality of life as a whole. Thank you."[/i]
