"I have agreed with you all I think needs to be agreed to - from economy, to defense, to citizens rights, I think this summit has been an immense success."

The two heads of government were lead out to an area outside the Saint Pierre Dominion Assembly with two podiums, and the press seated outside. They were both invited to make statements and then to answer questions.

"Today, here in Saint Pierre, we have made great progress towards a more peaceful future. Ms Baschet and I have agreed on defence policy, agreeing to standardise our nuclear arsenals and we have agreed to cooperate on security and run drills cooperatively. In addition, we have made the freedom of movement of people, goods and services easier for people on both sides of la Manche which will facilitate economic growth. This is a step in the right direction, so I look forward to continuing to cooperate with the government of Gallorum to carry on this move towards peace. I will now take a few questions."

"Hi, Henri François from the National Times. Is it total free movement or are there some caveats?"

"It is total free movement for people who want to work. People who get jobs within 3 months of making a move can continue living in either Gallorum or Icholasen, but without jobs they cannot continue on."

"Michelle Legault from the NBC. Are you confident these proposals can pass through the Nonet?"

"Absolutely. I have no doubt ever since the Saint Romain by-election win that we will be able to secure a majority in the Nonet for the proposals agreed here. I will take one final question."

"George Henderson from the Saint Novella Chronicle. Will there be a decrease in the military power of Icholasen?"

"No, we will be working to raise both our nations up to the same level, rather than reducing our military force. This is so that we can face up to the problems we face as a nation. Thank you for your questions."

SDV: We now beam over to Saint Romain where the final count is being announced in a gymnasium.

Fabien Legras: Welcome everyone to the final reveal of the total votes, and the distribution of Senators and DAMs. Let's not dilly dally since I have all the results here. The valid votes cast were 2,801,497 of 4,641,057 people eligible. There was therefore a 39.64% abstention rate. The results will be delivered by order of smallest vote share to largest, and the electoral system to find out how many seats are allocated to each party is the d'Hondt method. Firstly, we have the LDS with 29,904 votes which is 1.07% of the vote. They have received 0 Senators or DAMs.

There are some claps but the hall remains largely silent. A single cough is heard

FL: Next to the Parti Romain. They have received 282,307 votes and 10.08% of the vote, and have received 4 Dominion Assembly Members and 4 Senators.

There is an ecstatic cheer in the hall for this result

FL: In 3rd place is the Socialist Party, receiving 310,737 votes and 11.09% of the vote, receiving 5 Dominion Assembly Members and 5 Senators.

People wait anxiously for who has come second

FL: In 2nd place is the NAP with 1,057,404 votes, which is 37.74% of the vote. They have been duly allocated 17 Dominion Assembly Members and 17 Senators.

Some people wooed and clapped, around 37.74% of the room in fact

FL: And now the final result. The Party of June has received 1,121,145 votes, 40.2% of the total votes cast. They have been duly allocated 19 Dominion Assembly Members and 19 Senators, and 1 seat in the Nonet.

SDV: Incredible stuff there. I'm just hearing that under the d'Hondt system, this election is very very close. The NAP needed just 4,734 votes to take off that 19th Party of June seat. Is this a victory for the PoJ? I suppose that it is. Kate Germain has lost her gamble, and has likely just emboldened Whiteford's position in the Senate and the Nonet.

SDV: Though the final results are announced, there will be more coverage with us on NBC for further coverage and interviews with leaders. Especially tune in tomorrow when the Nicoleizian Houses of Parliament open ready for a new session.

"Oh perfect! I'll make sure to connect Bishop Secretary Clarke with Culture Minister Audrey Azoulay. I think they'll get on well and continue to foster opportunities for our citizens to experience Inquistan culture and vice versa," the Prime Minister smiled.

When she was told about the film and who was playing whom, she looked for a moment. She didn't think Kit Harrington was that great of a fit for Councillor Firoux, so she nodded in agreement when the Archbishop mentioned it.

"Non, I'd rather have seen a real cameo for Firoux or someone far less handsome. You have a distinct look that is wonderfully handsome," Ms. Baschet responded. She had heard from Marion Rousselot that Firoux was a very handsome man, but Marion didn't know what she was talking about all the time. Besides, Firoux wasn't her type.

The game was exhilarating and while the Prime Minister did show her joy at the Gallic side getting the job done, she made sure to keep it subdued. It would be extremely rude to have been wined and dined by such a welcoming host and then rub it in their face.

"Thank you for the compliment. Our side definitely felt like they had something to prove going up against the famous Inquistan squad," the Prime Minister said to the Archbishop. "Paul, thank you for being a gracious host. I will be bringing this back to Cabinet and Her Majesty. I'm very certain that royal assent will be given to this. The Chamber of Deputies is full of people who believe in trade, so it should pass.

"Likewise, if you ever need anything in the North, I am a phone call away," the Prime Minister smiled. She returned to the car, ready to return to Gallo Deux and a flight home.

Félix Sanz Roldán, Centro Nacional De Intelligencia Director

Good afternoon everybody.

First of all I'd like to thank you for assiting here. For those that doesn't know who am I, because they are from other countries, I'm Félix Sanz Roldán, director of the Spanish Intelligence Agence. Today, Spain is going to reveal many data that could be used for finding the Prime Minister Cayetana from Derecta.

First of all, the Derectan PM was kidnapped last 14th August in Ibiza, while she was attending to a party on El Burro Marica bar. The events were simple, someone released a gas bomb against the police and kidnapped her.

Then, our investigation has determinated that the Derectan Prime Minister took off in a plane from Ibiza's Airport, without going into the security control or passport control, with an unknown destination, but, acording to ENAIRE recordings, the plane, that was a private jet, abandoned our airspace flying over our border with Red Croatia.

Seeing this data, we do have a suspicious person that at the moment it's being investigated. This women, who is mostly know as El Trisha, was in Ibiza, in the same place where the events happened and at the same time, departing on a jet 1 hour later from Ibiza's Airport. This means, that El Trisha could be the kidnapper of the Derectan PM.

This is still being investigated, what means that our suspect could change during the next days. Still, if El Trisha tries to put a feet on our country, she'll be arrested and obligated to confess anythiong if he has to. We also call to all the European Union nations to do the same in their nations, as this is a very important affair for everyone of us.

Thank you, and have a good day.

EL FINAL

Tommy looked at Mikaela, totally stunned. He had been enjoying his time here with Anastasia but the revenge threesome idea sounded more and more appealing. Carlos still hadn't arrived back in Ibiza and he had been ever so lonely. He never cheated on Carlos, even though they never talked about being exclusive. Anastasia on the other hand was glad she stayed out of this whole mess, including any lewd nonsense.

"Do you know what Mikaela yes-" Tommy said, his words being cut off by him noticing a movement in the corner of his eye. Who was it that had entered the club?

Carlos had entered the club, with a suitcase and all his luggage. "Approchez approchez!" Carlos said. "On va danser le big bisou!"

Tommy and Anastasia approached him and joined in in dancing the big bisou, Anastasia found some random Spanish man and dragged him along with her, and Tommy partnered with Carlos.

Tommy, extending the fig leaf of peace said: "Mikaela, do you want to join us dancing the big bisou?"

CF: And now Ana we've the first authonomies results of our country. Let's remember that in our country, the vote in general elections is very different than the authonomical and cities elections. And this has an explanation! The Spanish people rates each goverment, not all in one, so, that could make that a Partido Popular voter, could vote Podemos in his city. Ana, could you reveal the first results?

AB: Of course Carlos. Let's start with Andalucía, our main Authonomous Comunity. The** Partido Socialista Obrero Español** wins with 32 seats, followed by the Partido Popular with 26 seats. Ciudadanos gets 21, Adelante Andalucía, the Podemos mark here in Andalucía gets 17 and the far-right party VOX gets 12 seats, what means that PSOE wouldn't be able to be on the goverment again if PP, C's and VOX signs an agreedment! This could be the end of 40 years of PSOE goverment.
