Opening speech at Liberty Square, Hol Sen: "Before I say anything else, I must extend my most humble gratitude and thanks to the people of International Peace, for their effort and persistence in making this moment possible. God knows, without them, this little fairy tale would had turn into something else. We must honor and give our respects for these individuals, who have safeguarded our elections and protect our citizens on their walk to the ballot house. God bless them.
But now, the road up ahead is up to us to forge. Valhene has enter it's nationhood at a turbulent point, and we must remain on guard and remain strong in
earning our right to exist as a nation. This Republic has come into existence through the bravery and toil of countless patriots who saw this day come. And as we continue in our existence, we as citizens must continue to brave and toil against those that oppose our democracy and liberty.
While others see Independence as a right, I see it as a responsibility. Independence means we will be held accountable for our actions as a people and nation. Independence means being able to decide for ourselves, the course of our lives and destiny. Independence means standing up to what we believe in, no matter what the consequences and backlashes are. The world will be watching our actions, we must not fail to impress them!
Therefore, my first act as president of the Valhene Republic is to reinstate the judicial branch of our government. All state-level and municipal law enforcement and court services will be bought back into action, according to the pre-existing federal and state laws. People will need their safety be assure and crime must be dealt with. We must also deal with misdirected citizens who have stained the Republic's progress with their use of violence against the occupational forces of Validus and Delfos. I sincerely object to their methods of gain political means, and will put forth a task force in capturing and rehabilitating these insurgents. We must work with both IPO and occupational forces in erasing violence from Valhene. Peace is our main issue, let not another war threaten our free and independent democracy! For Freedom! For Liberty! For Peace!"
