Constitutional Convention

[PresidentDavid]

OOC: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=95355 that explains Áine and Badb more.

Everyone head of state from each nation of the UIN sat in his designated seat and either complained about the lighting or hated the person next to them. But, the capital was in fact well lit. While the heads of states yelled louder and louder at each other and themselves David and Robert came in and sat in their chairs at the front of the huge room. David cleared his throat to try to get everyone's attention. Not one leader turned to look at David so he started to get activated. "Guys.. GUYS!!" The leaders started to quit down and looked at the president, "Really?? Really?? Can we shut up now??" The leaders of tiny city states scratched their heads and quietly sat.

"Good" David exclaimed, "now that we are all done; maybe we can get some work done. I called you all here today because there is a serious problem with our government and way of doing things around here." A few of the leaders began to speak to each other in concerned voices, "This Union will not last long if it stays under the current type of governing that it is undergoing. We need to be more united then this." More leaders started to speak, some of them angry voices. "Of course we need to impress the Irish.." Once the men started to quit down again a [url="http://cf2.polyvoreimg.com/thing.23463229.l.jpg"]girl with a bluish hair color[/url] came in and sat in a chair next to David, "This is Áine." Áine glared at some of the communist leaders but for the most part kept a straight face, "You all know who she is. She is here to help us be a better [i]nation[/i]. This will not leave this room."

Áine straightened the microphone to her mouth and cleared her throat like David. "Thank you David.. I made a few recommendations to David and he has accepted them. First, we must all agree on a Bill of Rights for the citizens of the UIN. For those of you who are unaware of what this is, if possible, it is a list of rights you promise to never take away from your citizens."

A man from West Republic stood up, "What is wrong with you! What about the three communist nations here? Our people have no rights. We promise them food and a small fortune to protect them unlike the capitalist savages that let their people starve!" A President of North Front stood up, "Why do you even call yourself a Republic?? You don't even hold elections for mayor!!"

The men started to yell again so Áine massaged her temples to keep herself calm, "SILENCE!"

Áine turned on the microphone pinned to her dress and walked onto a small platform that would normally be used for several people to sit, demonstrate, or speak to the entire congress instead of having to sit. Áine literally had the floor. "David and I agreed on ten. I will read them for all of you to hear. Please, no comments until I am done:
[i]I. Every man has the right to freedom of religion
II. Every man will be innocent until proven guilty
III. Every man has the right to personal freedom
IV. Every man will have the right to protest peacefully, even on public property
V. Every man will have the right to voice his opinion openly
VI. Every man will have the right to capitalist prosperity
VII. Every man will have the protection from illegal search and seizure
VIII. Every man will have the right to vote in UIN elections
IX. Every man will have the right to print whatever he wants without fear of government infiltration
X. Every man will have the right to a fair trial [/i]

Every single leader was standing, yelling at Áine and each other. Badb, who was waiting just outside was getting aggravated about all of the tension that she was not causing. She walked outside and saw everyone yelling and screaming like their was no tomorrow so she pulled out her pistol and shot three times into the ceiling.... Total silence dug itself into the room while everyone stared at Badb, the twin sister of the other blue haired girl. Her presence gave off the raw emotion of anxiety, paranoia, and sometimes anger. Although at this time the men stared at the girl holding the pistol. Some dust fell from the ceiling and David face palmed himself. Badb smiled like softly and stood next to her sister, still wielding her pistol. "I think, David, that the government of the UIN is not the problem. I think these snobs are." The men all now quietly sat, even the communists who have not one good thing to say about this entire meeting.

David spoke into the microphone, "This Bill of Rights and a Constitution is not optional. We are all going to agree on one and we are all going to abide by it. I understand that some of you have some type of fetish with oppressing the rights of innocent men. However, you may want to leave the island because I can guarantee you that this will not be to much longer. Before we continue, I think we deserve a fifteen minute recess."

All of the men stood up and walked out into a larger room in the capital that had refreshments and speaking room where they could all talk to each other. This was proven to be a much harder attempt to a true union then David thought it would be.

Once all of the men were out Badb scratched her head, "We could just kill them..." Áine didn't protest because she honestly wouldn't mind but David sighed, "No. If we are going to do this then we are going to do it the right way. Yes some of these men are very un-honorable... But many of them are." Áine knew what would need to happen but was afraid to say it, "We all know that this will work, but it also will not work." Robert looked a little confused but before he could ask her what she meant she continued, "See, you are going to have many of these nations agree with you. But some are going to stay together. If you want to accomplish this, someone, somewhere is going to get conquered." Robert's iPhone started to buzz and he looked at the text message, "The dictator of West Republic just left the capital.."

David sat back in his chair and looked over to the other three people, "I'm not sure if we could pull this off on our own..." Robert quickly replied, "The Irish.." Badb then interrupted, "The Irish would like stability in the British Isles, I can tell you that right now, but maybe it would be better if we would ask Monaco. They, afteral, were the original owners of this island." David looked up at the beautifully decorated domb that had a old, almost ancient map of the Isle. It didn't show the different city states, but instead it showed one united island with a man with red hair and a woman with red hair holding hands. "Monaco and Ireland are both powerful. We wouldn't ask for one to help with defense and one to help with offense? After all, they are our closest allies." Badb didn't have any objections and neither did Áine, although she still wanted to go the way of peace. "Remember David, peace before war. WE must prepare for war, we must have our defenses set up, we must be organized, but we must not act until we know that there is no other way."

"Yeah, yeah yeah" said Badb in reply, "Peace if great but war is better. You actually accomplish things in a war. Peace is almost always about compromise, which is something the island does not need or want." Badb and Áine, her twin sister, usually disagreed on everything political. Diplomacy, foreign affairs, internal affairs, war, and strategies were things they seemed to be total opposites on; like water and fire. David pulled out his new iPhone and typed in his password a few times before getting it right. "I'll send a message to Monaco and the Irish and see if we can set up a meeting here in Douglas. Hopefully they can help."
