The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lucretius Saturninus, stood with an aide, and a few guards in the VIP lounge at Claudius International. They were waiting for First Contact with the United Islands of Nakad. The Imperial Republic was reaching out to the island nation in hopes of gaining another ally in the region, and possibly getting a base on one of the islands. But, first was to open trade deals and make good feelings. Besides, the Caesar legitimately wanted to make good relations, despite their, peculiarities in dress, or lack there of.
In fact, that was a major problem within the planning committee. The Imperial Republic has laws banning public nudity, due to laws that were passed in the early 1900s. However, the compromise made by those on the Committee, decided to wave the laws in this case due to their cultural norms, despite the phrase "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". So here Minister Saturninus was waiting for the delegation from Nakad.
