In Jerusalem, the Congress was trying to decided what to do, about the women's right to vote, issue. So far, in Israel, a women was allowed to vote, as long as she owned property. Once she was married, the property became the right of her husband, and he put forwards the household's vote. Essentially meaning, each household, had one vote. However, men without property could vote, as well, and the married women and women without property, were getting antsy, desiring the same rights, as these men. The Congress put forward a crazy idea, that they thought would work. They made it law, that to be able to vote, at all, you must own property. This took away the right to vote, from indentured servants, renters and college students, without a permanent residence. However, for the women, the Congress formed the, Israeli Women's Congressional Advisory Board. The IWCAB, as it was shortened to, was a Women's Congress, who were allowed into Congressional meetings and were allowed to voice their opinion, and give the opinion, of the everyday women, but they did not vote on any laws, unless, they pertained, specifically, to women.

King Pascal looks at the Ethiopian Patriarch, "Ah, yes, it was a fine trip here. I am King Pascal, nice to meet you. I am sorry for the complications between our nations, but that is an issue for another day. These rebels, if you know of their origin, my men will immediately find them and end them, they are quality soldiers. Oh, before I forget, I shall be lifting the blockade of your ports." Right then, Pascal motioned for one of his generals, to inform the navy, that they may lift the blockade, but stay nearby. "Now, I would also like to construct a railroad between Khartoum and Addis Ababa, and I would like Ethiopia, to trade their coffee, out of Alexandria. Do we have a deal?" Pascal holds out his hand, ready to receive a shake, if the Patriarch agreed.

Thorhearth, Tanzania
Recently, the Jerusalem Company, the sole train company, in Israel, sent a representative, to the Nordic colony. After hearing about Tanzanite, they offered to assist the Nordic Government, in the construction of a railroad, between Khartoum and Thorhearth, with a freight line going to the Tanzanite mines, at Mt. Kilimanjaro. Along with the Jerusalem Company representative, was a representative, of the Israeli Government. He came to inform the Nordic Tanzanite Company, of the Free-Trade Zone and Export-Processing Zone, in Alexandria, and insisted that they set up factories to process the Tanzanite, there.
The Nordic Governor of the Tanzania colony, wearing his new Tanzanite tie, agreed to the terms of the Jerusalem agreement, as long as the new Nordic Tanzanite catalog and sales pamhlet Hagallmall was provided complimentary to every train passenger and was produced and sold with Tanzanite processed in Isreali territory. The agreement also had to support the Nordic governments production monopoly on Tanzanite, in order to keep the somewhat common gemstones value up and to prevent it's only known deposits from being depleted.
