Spanish Aniversary Day

[California]

"Castille et Leon, ah! One of the original parliaments of Europe sat in Leon; a shining example of the inheritors of Rome's splendour, non?" the Queen said. They noticed the motorcade stopped. "Thank you so much for bringing us here safely, Martin."

"Merci beaucoups, Martin," said the Prime Minister. The two walked out and found the resplendent Queen Letizia approaching.

"Letizia, Votre Majeste! Ah to be gorgeous and young again!" the Queen Margrethe said to Queen Letizia. "How does Spain go? You know how much I adore Spain; Rome's daughters, non? This is the Prime Minister of Gallorum, Elisabeth Baschet. She's a brilliant politician and in our weekly meetings, I have not felt such confidence and assured speech from a politician in quite some time. Elisabeth, are you enjoying Spain?"

The Prime Minister was stunned when she was included in the conversation.

"Oh, yes! I am. Spain is a wonderful country. We do hope this is the beginning of closer ties between Gallorum and Spain. Traditional nations born from Rome and an affinity for each other," Ms. Baschet said to the Spanish queen.

The Duchess of Athenaesios managed to get changed and wear a flamenca dress, as a way to pay a warm tribute to the Spaniards' hospitality.

Margrethe, I'm very happy to see you again! Leticia smiles Hopefully Spain's going well, I was a bit worried with the elections as Jesús could loose the majority, but, hopefully for our nation stability, he didn't. And yes, I notice how much you love my country. And you are right, Rome's Daughthers.

Mrs. Baschet, nice to meet you. That's great that you're enjoying Spain. I also share your thoughts on this becoming the start of closer ties between us. Let me introduce someone.

Leticia guides Mrs. Baschet and the Queen Margrehe to the President Jesús Aguilar.

Jesús, looks who's here.

Jesús turns around and see the Gallorum delegation. He makes a reverence to the queen and shakes hand with Mrs. Baschet.

Welcome Mrs. Baschet. Welcome her majesty. How are you feeling today?

Spanish people on the place claps the Duchess of Athenaesios and some girls tell her: GUAPA!!!

Queen Anastasia responded diligently with a "Yes. The landing was pleasant." In reality, she had a massive fear of flying and hated the landing, sucking on a wine gum to ease the pressure on her ears. She truly hated the whole ordeal of flying but the family business of monarchy demanded it of her. Whenever she did get too overwhelmed, she put her lot in life back into perspective and imagined herself in coach on some dodgy budget airline, and looked around her lovely private jet. It wasn't good for the planet, but what was she going to do? Cycle?!

Great to hear that you've had a great landing. Let me tell you what's my function today: I'll help you during your stay and solve your doubts if any appears. Do you have anything to ask me?

@Spain said in Spanish Aniversary Day:

Happy to hear that. I don't know how much time will the others spend to arrive, so, I'd ask you to have patience. Sorry for this inconveyances, but, apart from us, this also depends from the Air Traffic Control all across Europe.

After talking with king Juan Carlos, the President Jesús Aguilar and king Juan Carlos approach to the Malborayan representants.

Jesús Aguilar: Mr. Docu, welcome to Spain. Have you found any trouble during your trip from the airport to here?

King Juan Carlos approach to King Norberti and shakes hand

Juan Carlos: King Norberti, nice to meet you. Are you coming to the dinner we'll have tonight?

"No, everything went smoothly."

Docu gives a short and quick response.

"Yes, I will accept your offer King Carlos. This city looks beautiful. I have no doubts that I'll have a great time here."

His Mercy, The King responded in a good note.
He was clearly enjoying his time around here.

"Are there any stuff that would look good on my capital, I wonder..."

That's great to know. When the Vayinaod delegation arrives, we'll go to a restaurant owned by a Spanish citizen that cooks the Spanish typical dishes very good. You'll like it.

Meanwhile, Juan Carlos was talking with King Norberti...

Thanks for accepting the invitation. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Welcome to Spain King Norberti. Welcome Mr. Docu. Nice to meet you.

"Nice to meet you as well, Felipe VI." The King replied. "We had great experience, Me and Mr. Docu had no problems so far."

"I can agree that our experience so far in Spain was great. It is always a breath of fresh air to visit new places. I don't think I've went outside the capital of Malborya ever since I was elected the Minister of Defence!" Mr. Docu continued.

The King had a surprised expression in his face after Docu's words, but he didn't think too much of it and carried on with the event.

That's great to know. We are still waiting for 2 delegations to arrive, one is on the way and the other didn't land on the airport yet. I'm sorry for delays.

[Vayinaod]

First Konsul of the Archrepublic, Rakel Sorensdotter, was sent in place of the Arch-konsul himself due to prior commitments. Representing the Archrepublic was chief among the duties of the First Konsul, a position often compared to the Vice President in other similar styled governmental systems.

"Remind me to ask Alvar why he always makes me go south during the summer, it never gets this hot back home," Rakel noted to her assistant Emma, "I mean truly beautiful country at least from up here, but its nearly 10 degrees higher here than it is back home!"

"Well you argued for more international exposure, and if Alvar agrees to step down to let you run for the Konsulship you're going to need the appearance of having some foreign relations experience. Especially if they put forward Anders as expected from the Democrats," responded Emma. She had the privelege of working for Rakel since her initial campaign for Nyetthem city council when they were both in their final year as university.

"Madame Konsul we are able to start out descent, please all other passengers as well as the First Konsul please find your seats for landing," interrupted the Pilot over the intercom.

The Vayinaodic Executive Two after receiving final clearance from local air traffic control began its descent and landing. The First Konsul exited the aircraft and met the local Spainish delegation enthusiastically even if the heat was unbearable for her northern blood. After initial greetings, they joined the other delegations in a motorcade on the way to the first set of events.

"Oh please, don't worry about it", Docu responds, looking at the time in his watch shortly after.

"Indeed. We can always wait for an hour or two. As long as it gets the job done perfectly." The King continued.

The Royal Guard recives the Vayinaod's delegation, and the last goverment representant approachs to them

Hello Mrs. Sorensdotter. Nice to meet you. My name is Diego, Let's get onto the motorcade.

They both get onto the motorcade, that starts making its way

Well, let me tell you my function without all the noise and a bit more relaxed. I'll help you with everything you need, or somebody you want me to help with. I can solve any doubt or question you have, so, consider me as your personal helper for today's event. Would you like to ask something?

That's great to know. At the moment, I have some good news. Both delegations are on the way.

[Derecta]

Whilst the Spaniards awaited the Vayinaod delegation, the Derectans decided to reflect on their on Hispanic heritage.

"We owe so much to Hispanic culture back in Derecta. I mean, Spanish is one of our national languages, beautiful haciendas and misiones are scattered all across San Marcos and Labrada and the amount of artistic patrimony they left behind is truly astonishing." said Louvkas-San Marcos, wearing the traditional chulapa attire.

"You're absolutely right, Athena!" answered minister Menéndez. "A big part of what makes us Derectans are these Hispanic roots, and I'm glad the people of Spain can share them with us. Maybe this could even foster a defence cooperation agreement between our countries..."

"Oh, come on Rodrigo. We're here to celebrate, not to set forward your agenda..." interrupted Dame Ricchetti, visibly troubled by this insinuation.
She knew this could be seen as the DDC's success, and would further damage the DPA's position in Derectan politics, if the minister managed to convince the Spaniards to work alongside the Derectan Armed Forces.

Mikaela Kligenberg landed in Spain after taking a short flight from her private jet. Upon landing, Mikaela was quickly escorted into an armored limousine and was driven towards the city centre of Antequera, where the primary proceedings were occurring.

Mikaela stepped out of her limousine and waved towards the journalists that were capturing her picture. "Hola, Spain!", Mikaela announced proudly, feeling confident in her pronunciation, which he skillfully re-created after listening to it on Google Translate while on her jet. "Everyone definitely thinks I'm a local here. Deffo not a Guiri", she thought to herself.

"Happy first anniversary day, Spain!" Mikaela said as she waved back at the journalists. "I hope that Spain continues to prosper in the EU, and that Spain has many future anniversaries to come... which is something that Queen Anastasia's exes' have never achieved."

She beamed and bounced as she walked towards the rest of the foreign delegation which had come to congregate. In truth, the main reason for Mikaela's attendance was to 'sight-see', which just really meant that she was here to see some Spanish men in uniform. Mikaela loves a man in uniform. Mikaela was particularly inclined to see members of the Spanish Legion. After the parade, Mikaela was intent on then jetting to Ibiza, where she was planning on hosting an after-party with those interested in having some extra fun.

Mrs. Baschet had been reading all about the Spanish elections. She breathed a sigh of relief. Though she wanted the left to win out in Spain, the costly coalition that would have had to be made in order to govern was too much. Gaulois politics and government was far easier. While it was more challenging than say a regular first past the post system to get a majority government, the fact that there were essentially 3 to 1 on FPTP constituency races vs. proportional list seats added helped a great deal in giving majority government. And considering her government was both increasing in popularity and looking to gain a larger majority, she couldn't go pissing off the independents at home by treating a centre-right government terribly.

"Ah! Presidente Aguilar!" Prime Minister Baschet said to her Spanish colleague. "Congratulations on a well-fought election. I am very happy to be here in Spain. Of course, our nations have many similarities and much we can work on. I hope this is the start of setting up a more serious meeting in the fall sometime."

Ms. Baschet smiled and looked as the Queen shook the hand of the President of the Council of Ministers.

"We are doing well, aren't we Elisabeth? Now, I do see you have some guests coming up, so I will let you go Letizia. Perhaps later on we can have a more extended chat," Queen Margrethe said to the Spanish consort. "We'll manage to keep ourselves preoccupied until then."

Queen Margrethe waved at Letizia as she moved on through the delegation. "Darling, you're learning."

"Learning what?" asked the Prime Minister with a laugh.

"How to let your hair down a bit. You're always so uptight when dealing with the government at home. Perhaps it's because they're a bunch of men who don't take us women seriously. I know all about that. de Gaulle was ALWAYS someone who I couldn't figure out if he was assuming I was stupid or..."

The Queen began to talk about her experiences with the famous Gallic premier Charles de Gaulle, who held the office from 1944 to 1969, which was one year into the Queen's reign. She went on about how de Gaulle continued to push for the Gallic exceptionalism idea to bring up the grandeur of the state.

"...and I told him, it's not just the Gallic people or the Gallic state that makes us exceptional. It is our heritage, our culture going all the way back to Rome, our language, our faith, and the fact that we understand and appreciate excellence in all its forms," the Queen finished. Ms. Baschet had been wandering around.

"Oh, perhaps we'll bump into someone else soon." the Prime Minister said.

"Yes, quite!" the Queen said. She seemed to relish these occasions to put on a certain joie de la splendeur.
