A World About To Break [IC] [MT-PMT] [APP]

The Queens' reply to Jenna is short.

"So what you're suggesting is that Canada's policies on the Caribbean need to be reformed? Unless..."

"I guess we could buy them and re-establish the local administration. The Cultural Sphere is still relatively small and we want to include all Spanish-speaking countries in the end."

And then directly to Jenna: "What do you think?"

"I believe that Canada reforms are probability set in stone now. There could be backlash from my people. Again, like I said before it just benefits them now. However, buying them is a potential idea. But isn't Spain a relatively poor compared to Canada. Do you have the money to do such a thing. I just know they would ask for a high price. A price big enough to make up for the losses for many years. I'm afraid if you try and buy Trinidad and Tobago, Canada would take advantage of the situation just to cash grab you. Spain and Canada might be allies but Canada would try and squeeze every penny out of you. You might go bankrupt!"

Is there anything you think we can do then? We will bring this up in the Parliament, but do you have any suggestions?

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - Ministry of Finance

Every month one Canadian Government department get audited to ensure no foul play is taking place and that every government department is staying on budget. Last month it was the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada that got audited. FOC came in under budget. Typical for one of the more useless departments in the Canadian Government but it is still necessary. This month it is now the Department of National Defence to be audited. DND has the largest budget in the Canadian Government and receives most of the funding rewards.

DND remained on budget but for the first time in governmental audits there is a huge inconsistency. Even though DND was on budget 1.5 billion dollars is missing. Spending reports were analyzed and everything matches up until the final line. On the final line it lists that a transaction of 1.5 billion dollars was made. It was unknown where the money was sent to. It was also unknown who authorized the transaction.

The Ministry of Finance goes to the top levels of the Canadian Government to find out where the money has gone. The Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence were contacted.

Barcelona, Spain

The Canadians in the Spain trip are enjoying their time seeing the sights but then the Prime Minister gets a notification from MOF. He whispers to Ralph that they have to leave and go back to the hotel. They tell the driver to bring them back to the hotel and tell the other people on the trip to go out and enjoy some more stuff. They just had some business to attend to.

Entering the room see the Minster of Finance, Garret Knox, on a Skype call waiting for them.

"Hello, Garret! How are things going in Ottawa? Is everything going all right." Pearson says with a smile. In a more serious tone Garret replies back.

"Yes, Prime Minister I am well, thank you. We have a situation. We have done our audit on DND. The department is on budget but there is something to note. 1.5 Billion dollars is missing and we have no clue where it has gone. Have you or Ralph authorized such a transaction."

Both Pearson and Ralph have no idea what he was talking about. They shake their heads because they did not allow such a transaction to happen. Garret continues on.

"That's a big concern. Somebody transferred money to somewhere and we don't know where it went. If you guys don't know this is a big problem. There is no way this could have happened with so little information, especially since you two did not authorize it. It must be investigated at once."
----
OOC: And with this an investigation is launched to find out where 1.5 Billion Canadian dollars have gone. This post ties into something that was previously mentioned before in posts a few pages back. This is apart of Canada's greatest mystery.

[Independant Canada]

Is there anything you think we can do then? We will bring this up in the Parliament, but do you have any suggestions?

"Your majesties, I can't think of anything else. I don't know of anything else. Canada is a superpower nation. Maybe what's done is just done. See what you can though. I have faith in Spain, I have faith you two. Also please consider my offer for granting me Spanish citizenship and that job offer as well."

Just as Jenna finishes her sentence the other Canadians show up again. They did not hear what she said. The only two people missing from the group of Canadians were Stephen Pearson and Ralph Goodale.

The group told the Queens that those two would be busy for the rest of the day but they will show up by the start of dinner.

"Pearson made it a personal promise to show up for dinner especially for you two Queens, your majesties." Gina Goody Gallant says with a smirk.

[Hypron]

The Prime Minister and his group runs into the Queens and Jenna. "Hello, your majesties. Mind if we join you?'

[Joushiki Nante Iranai]

Chuckling, Leonor replies: "How charming."

Sofía adds: "He's flirting, isn't he?"

As the Canadians leave, Jenna looks back to the Queens for a brief moment. They give her a wink.

Soon after, the Hypronese Prime Minister, along with the other Spanish and Hypronese representatives, join the Queens. The Queens reply that they are fine with the PM joining them, and they join the tour of Barcelona with the other representatives.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - Department of National Defence (DND)

On the same day of the MOF's investigation launching something happened at DND as well. In DND there is a hallway that nobody really uses. This hallway lies within the
inter-sanctums of DND. It is dark and lonely. Barely any light is seen and its hard to see just a few meters ahead of you. There is no security and no cameras. The hallway is basically abandoned so it would be a waste of resources to guard it.There is only two doors that lead to rooms in the hallway. One being a for cleaning supplies and the
other one being a small storage room. This hallways and rooms have a story though. They weren't always abandoned. In World War Two these rooms were
the center piece to Canadian battle plans and blueprints. In was in 1946 that DND got renovated and the room was left to rot and be abandoned. All the plans and blueprints were moved to a more secure location. The room was emptied. All that was left was one file cabinet which was emptied. However, under the file cabinet
was blueprints to something. Something that would rules the waves.

In 1945 a Japanese spy was in DND right after the surrender of the Empire of Japan. His orders were to place a package of blueprints for something. The Japanese spy
placed these blueprints right under the file cabinet. The spy returned to Japan unharmed. Little did he know, it would be decades until these plans would be found.
----
2027.

A man just got promoted to be the Canadian Atlantic Fleet Commander. He would command the entire Canadian Fleet in Halifax, Nova Scotia. However, he must stay in Ottawa for a bit before he leaves. DND gave him a temporary office in a room off of a dark hallway. A private in the Canadian military was told to guard the room while, Private Degurechaff.

While exploring his office the Commander looks at the file cabinet. It is really old and dates back to the second world war. He inspects it some more and notices something. There is a tip of a piece of paper poking out. Intrigued he lifts the cabinet to sees something that is mind blowing. Something that is impossible. Outside the room Private Degurechaff looks in to see what is going on. Tanya sees these blueprints, she quickly exits the room when the commander turns around in awe. The blueprints are for a Design A-150, popularly known as the Super Yamato class. However, the Atlantic Fleet Commander maybe in awe he puts it back where it once was. Canada does not need a battleship. It does not fit with the Canadian Navel Doctrine and besides these blueprints are obsolete. He does not inform anybody in DND or the government about his discovery.

When it was time to leave the temporary office everything was cleaned up and it looked like what it was before. The door closed and it was locked. Nobody entered the room for years after that.

----
August 5th 2031.

Major-General Tanya von Degurechaff still remembers the Design A-150 blueprints. During one night she broke into the locked room in the abandoned hallway and took
the blueprints. She later updated them to today's modern technology. She forgot to close and re-lock the door. It remained wide open.

----
CURRENT DATE: August 25th, 2031

A janitor walks in the dark hallway towards the janitors closet where the cleaning supplies are. The janitor notices a door is wide open. Of all the time in the past few
years that door has always been closed and locked. Somebody broke into it. Security was called to look into the situation. Ralph Goodale and Stephen Pearson were notified again.

Barcelona, Spain

Just a few minutes after the MOF contacted the highest government officials, DND did the same. Ralph and Stephen listen in to the situation and they wonder if the two situations are connected in anyway. Contact was made to the Atlantic Fleet Commander because he was the last recorded person in the abandoned room at DND. He was a suspect. But, camera footage and eyewitness accounts show that the commander wasn't even in Ottawa at the time of everything happening. Over a Skype call this was the recorded conversation

Commander: "Prime Minister, Mr. Goodale, the last time I was in that room was in 2027. I have something to admit to you that no other government official knows about. I found something in that room. A weapon of war. A super battleship. Design A-150, popularly known as the Super Yamato class, was a planned class of battleships for the Imperial Japanese Navy. In keeping with the Navy's long tradition, they were designed to be qualitatively superior to battleships that might be faced in battle, such as those from the United States or Great Britain. As part of this, the class would have been armed with six 51-centimeter (20.1 in) guns, the largest weapons carried aboard any warship in the world.

Pearson: Oh my god! We could have the largest battleship in the world alongside the largest aircraft carrier in the world.

Goodale: It is a great mystery as to how we got it but we lost it. Any ideas on who could have stole it?

Commander: When that room was my temporary office I had a guard. I had a suspicion she looked in side the room and saw the plans as well.

Goodale: Who was the guard? Do you remember the name?

Commander: Yes. Her name was Private Degurechaff.

Pearson's and Goodale's eyes turn towards each other and lock.

Pearson: The Devil of Canada.

[Independant Canada]

Somewhere in the Canadian Arctic

Major-General Tanya has gotten 1.5 Billion dollars she needed and the Canadian Government is still scratching their heads as to where the money went. Tanya has the blueprints as well for the Design A-150 battleship. She plans on building one for the Canadian Navy. The secret location she is at was where the Habakkuk carrier was built. The workers believe that the Canadian Government ordered the construction of the vessel. Tanya herself ordered the ship to be built. The location where they are at takes a few days to travel to. When the Government tries to find her, it would take a few days to get to her. She has time get things set up to the point where construction has to take place no matter what. Her plan was basically blackmailing the Government in order for it to be build no matter what. If the government tries to cancel the project it would cause a mini riot with the workers building it.

Barcelona, Spain

"The Devil of Canada potentially took 1.5 Billion dollars and is using to build this massive battleship. I have a feeling she might be trying to build that thing. We got to try and stop her! It's a waste of taxpayers money!" Exclaims Pearson.

"We'll sent out a team to the spot where we build the Habakkuk but it will take a few days....." Says Ralph Goodale.

"Damn...well it is what it is. We'll get that devil soon. Anyways, it almost time for dinner. The Queens and Hyprons must be waiting for us. Let's go."

The United States government, despite being very pro Israel in the past, recognizes Palestine .

With much surprise and delight, the news is received that the United States officially recognizes Palestine.

Abu Suleiman requests that the United States and Palestine exchange consulates in Washington, D.C. and Ramallah (they are not requesting embassies because they want to establish embassies in Jerusalem, which is currently controlled by Israel).

Iran hears about this news as well and is confounded by this turn of events. Just a decade earlier, Iran would have rejoiced at this news. Now, Iran is worried, because both Israel and Palestine desire to not be Iranian territory.

---

Iran now controls the coast of Oman, with the highest concentrations of soldiers being in Muscat, Sur, and Salalah.

---

The Iranian government reports that it is reforming how it governs its international possessions in order to give more freedom to natives and reduce stress on Iran. More details on this will come once the plan is finalized and put into action.

Barcelona, Spain - Local Restaurant

After dealing with people in Ottawa on skype and their problems, Stephen and Ralph leave the hotel and make their way to the restaurant where the dinner will be held. On the way there the two men got separated but they don't notice it. Ralph arrives at the restaurant on time and take a seat with the other Canadians along side with the Hyprons and Spanish. Grace Hooper, Stephen's sectary and bodyguard has a concerned look on her face while Ralph took a seat. On his face he had a smile and was in a very content mood. Grace leans in to whisper in Ralph's ear.

"Where's the Prime Minister?"
"What do you mean? He's right behind me......." Ralph looked over his head to see he's not there. "Don't worry maybe he went to the bathroom or something."
Grace hisses at him. "I don't think so because he would have made a grand and loud entrance if he arrived. You lost him"
"Well hey, he's not a baby, did you want me to hold his hand or something......Jesus......I'm sure he's around the corner. Now leave me alone." Ralph looks away and puts his hand out to signal a waiter. "Sir, SIR! One beer poor fa bore." He tried his best to say please in Spanish.

Grace is disgruntled and a little upset at the Defence Minister. The Defence Minister's job is to protect Canada and yet the guy can't even keep track of his very own Prime Minister.

Grace gets up and leaves. She has to find Stephen before the food gets served. As she walks off, Ralph opened his mouth to say one more thing.

"Heyyy, where you going, foods about to be served!" Grace ignored it and exited the restaurant.

Ralph looked at the door while it closed. He turned back towards the table and just made the comment to the people around him.

"I think she's just going for a smoke. She will be back." He smiles and starts to take a sip of his beer but then the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada specks up and replies back.
"But she doesn't smoke..."
"SHUT UP! You have the most useless Government Department. Fisheries and Oceans. BLAH!" Ralph blasts.
"HEY! My department does a lot more than you think. We provide information to the Department of National Defence ya know?!" Retorts Bob Ray the Minister of FOC.

A few chairs down Jenna Frazer sits and over hears the other Canadians having a small bickering. She stands up and walks towards the Queens and whispers in their ears.

"Canadians are becoming like Americans now. They're getting louder and louder. The whole table can hear what they are saying. Look at the poor Hyprons sitting across from them. They are so quiet. John Smith and King James must be displeased."

After finishing whispering to the Queens, Jenna walks over to the British who are across from the two bickering Canadian Ministers. Now she whispers to them.

"Prime Minister John Smith, King James. We've seen each other but haven't talked yet. My name is Jenna Frazer. Pleased to meet you! Please pardon the buffoons of Canadian Government officials across from us. How about you talk with a Canadian civilian. Ya know I really like the United Kingdom of Hypron...."

Jenna has her conversation with the British leaders. It was just a regular normal everyday conversation. She did not bring up any of the topics that she talked about with the Spanish Queens.

---

Barcelona, Spain - Somewhere on the Barcelona streets.

Stephen Pearson walks down a street. He got separated from his best friend, Ralph Goodale. There was a large amount of people on the streets and it was a foreign nation so it would have been easy to get separated.

Stephen looks around at the street signs. Of course they are all in Spanish but his overconfidence takes over him.

"I'm pretty sure the restaurant was down this street.....or was it that one...or.....fudge street."

Pearson just looks around him. He is unimpressed. He's a leader of a world class nation and yet he got lost and can't speck the dammed language to ask for help. After a few minutes he concedes. He makes his way to a major intersection and just waits there. Worst of all his phone died as well so he can't call anybody.

While at the major intersection he notices a lot of people start to take pictures of him. He thinks do these people really know who he is?

On social media pictures of the lonely Prime Minister surface. It soon goes viral. Grace Hooper sees the tweets and recognizes the intersection. She runs full tilt to get to the person she should be protecting since it is her job to do so.

Grace makes it to the intersection and the man she was looking for is still there. Pearson sees her and yells out.

"Oh, thank you Grace! I knew you would find me--." Grace interrupts him.
"Did you get lost? How are you not embarrassed." While Stephen is embarrassed he tries to hid it.
"Nooooo. I was just resting my legs and enjoying the scenery." He pouts.
"You idiot! I've been your bodyguard and secretary for years now. I can see through you lies, remember the time---. "
"Okay, stop please don't remind me of that. Come on lets just go. We gotta get back the food will be served soon."

The two run back in the direction Grace came from. While running Stephen makes an apology.

"Hey Grace, sorry for making you find me."
"No, it's my job. I had to do it. That's all."
"But if we don't hurry we'll be late. Let's book it."
"Yes, Sir."

Grace then makes a full sprint getting way too ahead of Stephen.

"HEY! THAT'S TOO FAST FOR ME!" He yelled. Grace yells back.
"THEN I'LL CART YOU THEN!"
"WHAT?!?"

Then before Stephen knew it he was thrown in a shopping cart and Grace starting sprinting again pushing him in the shopping cart.

"This is fast, eh." Stephen comments. "But, I feel like I'm losing my pride and wisdom as a man. I knew we are a little late but isn't this too much?"

Thinking wisely Grace makes her reply without slowing down or showing signs of weakness.

"This is just the fastest way to get to the restaurant. We would get their faster doing this than me letting you run on your own. To answer your question if you have any pride as a man, here is your answer. You have already lost your pride as a man because a girl with a six pack is insulting you and carting you down streets of endless people. And while you're there sitting , complaining we're only tens of meters away from the restaurant now. Time goes by when you're having fun!"

While Grace was carting Stephen down the roads people have taken pictures and videos of the spectacle. It was really funny and for the second time in just a few minutes a new trend was flying over social media sights. The Prime Minister of Canada in a shopping cart being pushed down the street at a fast speed.

Barcelona, Spain - Local Restaurant

Grace and Stephen have made it back to the restaurant but they still aren't in the doors yet. Grace doesn't seem to be slowing down. She lets the shopping cart go just before the open windows of the restaurant. Stephen realizes what she has done and screams out

"HEYYY WHAT THE FU#K ARE YOU DOING" He looks in front of him to see a car heading towards him. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

---

Grace enters the restaurant takes a few steps then just as she wanted, inside the restaurant Stephen's screams could be heard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

It startles Ralph Goodale and Bob Ray which stops their argument. The scream could be heard for the entire table. Ralph and Bob then say simultaneously to Grace.

"What was that?"

In a calm and collected manner she replies.

"I don't know."
"Where the Prime Minister? Did you find him?"
"Well, Ralph like you said before he's just right around the corner."

Jenna herself knew that the scream came from Pearson himself.

---

Stephen had to stop the cart before he hits the car. He leans back to transfer the weight distribution to the back of the cart. It works and the cart falls back and Stephen falls out. His back hits the road and he rolls off to the side. He wasn't hurt and there was no scratching or scrapes. Like a man, he got up unharmed. He turns towards the restaurant doors but before he enters he notices a group of people videoing him. The group of people followed him from the busy intersection all the way to the restaurant videotaping the entire thing the whole time live to the world. From Akatia, to Europe and the Crime Syndicates of Asia the world saw it.

North Korean leader Kim-It-Who laughs at the spectacle.

Stephen doesn't want to embarrass himself more than he already has. He ignores the camera and enters the restaurant. As he enters, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police shoo off the people with the camera. The RCMP guard the restaurant while the dinner takes place.

Stephen walks in and only one person looks at him. Ralph Goodale. This is a good sign Pearson thinks. If nobody is looking at him that means they have no clue as to what just happened. Thank goodness.

"Hey! You're late! Come join the party. The food is just about to be served. What took you so long. You were just around the corner. Flirting up some Spanish girls huh?" Ralph jokes.
"Yeah you wish. Nothing much happened."

Stephen looks around to find an empty seat. There was one right between Sofía and Leonor. This seat was actually reserved for Aarón Sainz, Prime Minister of Spain. Aaron was just in the washroom at the time. While making his way to the seat Pearson stops to where King James and his friend, John Smith are sitting. He puts his arms around the two.

"Now I know you two like Pounds." He points to the food. "But I don't think those are the pounds that you want." He jokes and laughs as he walks away.

Finally, Stephen can sit down and enjoy some food. He doesn't see the piece of paper that clearly writes Aarón Sainz and sits beside the Queens. He looks at both of them and smiles.

"I didn't break mt promise did I?"

Aarón Sainz walks back the table to see Pearson sitting in his seat. Pearson doesn't say anything and points to an empty seat at the end of the table that is near the two arguing Canadian Ministers.

Since Bob Ray he is the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada he likes that the meal has fish. Fish is his favourite food. While pouring tartar sauce in the fish he calls out to Aaron.

"Aaron there is a seat over here! Maybe you can help me convince my colleague Ralph that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is just as important as the Department of National Defence!"

As the dinner begins Stephen Pearson feels relived for the moment that nobody knew about what happened just outside. They would find out eventually but right now it he is just glad that all the people are together enjoying a meal together. The British, Spanish and Canadians. A smile comes across his face.

He begins to chat up the Spanish Queens. Everybody is having a good time!

"CHEERS"

Barcelona
Early afternoon

"It is truly magnificent."

It had been a while since the Queens had last seen it. Its beauty, however, could not be exaggerated. And now they had the privilege of showing it to four world leaders.

The Sagrada Familia.

[Independant Canada]

Barcelona, Spain

When Pearson heard they they were going to the Sagrada Familia, he misheard what was said. From his understanding and what he heard was, they were going to see the Sagrada Family. In his mind he though they were going to see a family of people not a building. It was understandable that Pearson misheard what was said because Family and Famila sound alike especially in Spanish.

Once they turned the corner and got out of the car, Pearson saw they weren't seeing a family but a building called the Sagrada Familia.

"Oh, it's this building that took decades and over a century to build. Well finally it is complete. Beautiful building. I thought I was going to die before I saw the full completion and I'm only 30."

[Independant Canada]

Tanya Von Degurechaff sits at a desk in the cold Canadian north overseeing the construction of the Canadian Super battle ship. She sees the viral videos of her Prime Minister all alone at an intersection and being pushed in a shopping cart. She was very disturbed that Pearson almost got hit by a car because his own personal body guard let go of the cart to walk into a restaurant.

Feeling burn up and she gets very angered at every Canadian member at the tour. They aren't protecting the Prime Minister but making fun of him. What if Pearson died? She thinks that everybody who is there is incompetent. The RCMP and the Canadian military forces didn't really do anything, let alone where were they in the first place.

Tanya decides she must go to Spain herself to protect the Prime Minister. She doesn't tell anybody that she would be going. When she will arrive, the Prime Minister will then have adequate protection.

Although, it might cause a panic upon Pearson himself and the other Canadians that are there.

[The Tryad]

Presidential Palace, Naypyidaw
Pabok was sitting by in his office, finished with a visit to his family's opium fields in the north-east, relaxing with his tea, when sudden ping on his computer.

To Pabok Guo, Leader of the Union of Syndicates:

Iran has seen your proposal for an end to our enmity and a beginning of cooperation. Iran is interested in your proposal, but we would first like to make sure that such an alliance will work. We propose that we hold a meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, to further discuss this alliance.

You may bring either a diplomat or come in person. We can assure you that during this diplomatic endeavor, we will not attempt to detain you in any way. You will have diplomatic immunity in our lands for the time being and will be fully secure.

- Prime Minister Ali Ahmed

He read the message, sipping his tea slowly, after finishing the message along with his tea, Pabok responded,

-Prime Minister Ahmed of Iran,
The Union gladly accept your proposal for diplomatic meeting, if you would provide the local time and location in further detail. Though for your knowledge I will have to bring appropriate security, as rising from so low has attracted plenty of enemies, many without qualms of murder, but I assure you it is only for my own safety.
-Godfather Pablok Guo of The Union of Syndicates

As he sent the message he pulled his phone, he got his guard regiment read for a visit and ready his private plane. Then switching the line he gets his generals and underworld contacts to be prepared to pull the rest of Myanmar under his wing after the meeting. After all that he hung up and sat back to rest his tired eyes.

[Mexico-Kebabistan]

Iran gains control over Oman, though there is still resistance in inland areas. Iranian troops cross the border into Yemen to invade it and add it as a protectorate. They do not plan to annex Djibouti since it is already held by the APU, an ally of Iran.

---

Iran is wary of the alliance Hypron has formed with Canada and Spain and worries that if Iran enters a conflict, this bloc may enter against Iran and fight Iran due to mistrust between Iran and Hypron. Iran starts looking for allies to counter the bloc (none of this is explicitly announced).

---

Iran announces a new declaration that will reorganize the administration of its lands. The Iranian Office of Foreign Affairs releases this statement on the declaration:

In the wake of the Foreign Administration Declaration, the Office of Foreign Affairs has prepared a summary of the new administrative policies Iran shall exercise. Iran desires to preserve the self-rule of the people of its many lands while also protecting the people. These shall be the new types of polities under Iranian administration:
- Iran: Iran proper is the main country, Iran has full power here.
- Autonomous Regions of Iran: Turkey and Saudi Arabia are autonomous regions within Iran. Though the Iranian government has power here, autonomous regions have a degree of self-government and are entitled to have governments devolved from the central government in Shiraz.
- Protectorates: All Iranian lands besides Iran, Iranian Autonomous Regions, and Joint Protectorates are Protectorates. Iran has the right to station troops, use resources, and direct foreign policy of Protectorates, but other than this, Protectorates are virtually independent and have a degree of independence when it comes to foreign policy (Iran and a Protectorate can even disagree on foreign policy positions as long as neither of them obstruct either of their interests). In order to preserve self-rule of the Protectorate Residents (defined as those already living within the Protectorate) while cutting back on Iranian military spending, Iran is very relaxed about how much it projects its power in Protectorates. It can only maintain military bases in the capital of each Protectorate and two other cities in each Protectorate, so while Iran will have a military presence, it won't be especially prominent. Protectorates are encouraged to possess their own militaries to ensure their safety.
- Joint Protectorates: Any lands that are Protectorates of Iran and one or more other countries are Joint Protectorates. Their status depends on what the Protectors (defined as the countries whom a Protectorate is a Protectorate of) and agree upon. So far, the only Joint Protectorates are the Ottawa Protectorates. Iran's official policy on Joint Protectorates is to adjust military presence depending on what will ensure equality between the Residents and the different Protectors.

Iran expects that this will reduce the strain on both Protectorate Residents and Iran.

The United Kingdom recognizes both Israel and Palestine as independent nations, and to further protect the nations sovereignty, we guarantee independence for both nations.

In solidarity with Hypron, Spain recognises and guarantees the independence of Israel and Palestine.

Israel and Palestine are happy to hear this news, though from the Israeli point of view, Israel will lose some things to Palestine, while from the Palestinian point of view, Palestine will lose some things to Israel. There still remains the question of the border as all three parties in the conflict are unwilling to compromise, but Israel and Palestine are both happy they got recognized.

Meanwhile, Israel, Palestine, and Iran start amassing troops at their borders, expecting a new conflict to break out. All three parties are open to peace, but only on the condition that all their demands be met without compromise, which is an unideal situation. Israel wants to ensure an independent Jewish state fully controlling the Holy Land, Palestine wants to ensure an independent Palestinian state fully controlling the Holy Land, and Iran wants to ensure control over the area to prevent encroaching foreign influence.

Presidential Palace, Naypyidaw
Pabok was sitting by in his office, finished with a visit to his family's opium fields in the north-east, relaxing with his tea, when sudden ping on his computer.

*Snip*

He read the message, sipping his tea slowly, after finishing the message along with his tea, Pabok responded,

-Prime Minister Ahmed of Iran,
The Union gladly accept your proposal for diplomatic meeting, if you would provide the local time and location in further detail. Though for your knowledge I will have to bring appropriate security, as rising from so low has attracted plenty of enemies, many without qualms of murder, but I assure you it is only for my own safety.
-Godfather Pablok Guo of The Union of Syndicates

As he sent the message he pulled his phone, he got his guard regiment read for a visit and ready his private plane. Then switching the line he gets his generals and underworld contacts to be prepared to pull the rest of Myanmar under his wing after the meeting. After all that he hung up and sat back to rest his tired eyes.

PM Ahmed receives this response from Godfather Guo and calls another meeting between himself, the Shahanshah, and the generals. After consulting again with the Shahanshah and Gen. Ibrahim, he sends this message to the Godfather:

To Godfather Guo of the UOS:

We are glad to hear you have accepted the meeting. The meeting shall take place in 10 days at 2:00 PM in the Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Military Base, located 45 minutes from Bangkok. If you are organizing your own transportation, let us know and we will give you clearance to arrive in the KTMN Base. If you would like Iran to transport you, we shall send a plane to Naypyidaw, which shall bring you to the KTMN Base.

The KTMN Base has a room for military meetings. There, a meeting shall be conducted between the Union of Syndicates, Thailand (represented by the King and Prime Minister of Thailand), and Iran (represented by the Shahanshah, General Farouk Ibrahim of the Iranian Army, and I) to discuss your proposal.

- Prime Minister Ali Ahmed

The Thai King and PM are contacted about the upcoming meeting and are asked to prepare for it.

Iran is not worried about the meeting getting leaked, because they have the perfect cover story: that they are visiting Thailand to discuss with the Thais how the Foreign Administration Declaration will affect them. The cover story is in fact mostly true; even before receiving the alliance request from the UOS, Iranian MPs were writing this type of bill and the Shahanshah and PM were planning to travel to their protectorates to talk about it. The only difference between the cover story and reality is that they will talk to the UOS as well along the way.

Noticing the rising tensions between Iran, Palestine, and Israel, the United States government issued a statement.
Government of United States
The government of the United States Would like to see a peaceful solution before any sort of conflict begins. The United States would be open to hosting negotiations between the three parties to come to a peaceful solution.

Canada wishes for a fully Independent state of Israel, however unlike Spain and Hypron we do not guarantee the independence. (There is a reason for this)

We want to ensure though that all of the Holy Land is controlled by a friendly state to Canada, which is Israel.

Canada's foreign influence and support for Israel grows stronger.

Iran thinks about this. One of Iran's many reasons for fighting was to prevent triggering separatist movements. But if Iran is to attend a peace conference, they could bring up these concerns of separatism, so it will not be too much of a problem.

All three parties ask if America will be neutral and unbiased during the conference. If it is going to be unbiased, they will all gladly join.

OOC: Does America still recognize Israel as well?

Israel is a bit disappointed that Canada won't guarantee independence, but they understand why Canada would do this. Plus, Canada has explicitly stated it will hold friendly relations with Israel, so Israel has gained what will likely be its biggest ally. Israel is thankful for Canada's support of Israel.

Israel sends this open letter to Canada:

Shalom to the People of Canada,

When we reached out to the world to help preserve Eretz Yisrael, you, the Canadian people, were some of the first to recognize us. You reached out to us and acknowledged us, and from that moment, both of our peoples have formed a bond of peace and friendship.

We seek to establish a state in the Holy Land to preserve a peaceful status for the Jewish people, and the Canadian people share this same affinity for peace. The world has sought to harm us for a long time, but Canada instead gave us companionship.

We are proud to call the Canadian people not just our friends, but some of our greatest comrades.

Signed,
The People of Israel

Meanwhile, both Iran and Palestine are somewhat disturbed, though their fears are somewhat different. Palestine is afraid of Israel annexing the West Bank and Gaza. Iran's worry, however, is the fact that Canada desires a state friendly to Canada. They think this means that Canada is using Israel as a way to gain influence in the Middle East, which Iran opposes. Iran is very fearful of foreign interventions: in the beginning of the 20th century, the UK and Russia carved up zones of influence within Iran, the UK and Russia invaded Iran during both World Wars, and in the 1950s, the US and UK overthrew PM Mossadegh because he nationalized Iranian oil. Now Iran is free from both the pro-Western monarchy and the Islamic Republic and the Iranians want to keep it this way.

Barcelona, Spain

Tanya arrives at the airport, not feeling even a bit tired. It is late night in Barcelona. 1:00 in the morning. The world leaders are sleeping in the same hotel.The hotel has four floors. On the second floor are the Spanish, third the Hyprons and lastly on the fourth and final floor the Canadians.

Tanya gets a taxi cab to the hotel. She is wearing a dark hoodie and track pants. The hood of the hoodie was up and covering the back of her head.

When she gets out of the cab, some Spanish Guards talk to her and ask for I.D. She provides the Spanish guards with proper Canadian military I.D. The guards let her into the hotel.

On a nearby roof a Canadian scout was guarding the area from above. The scout sees the hooded figure exit a taxi and talk to the Spanish guards. Something was wrong though. All security forces had to inform each other of who was coming and going. Tanya informed the Spanish and Hyprons that she would be coming but didn't tell the Canadians to keep the surprise and prevent panic among them.

The Canadians were unaware that she was going. Holding binoculars the scout zooms in on Tanya but still can't determine who it is because the face can not be seen. Continuing to scan Tanya while she walks towards the main entrance the scout sees something alarming. In the pocket of the hoodie there was a gun. A pistol.

Slowly the Canadian picks up a radio and informs a team of Canadian Special Forces a couple block away.

"We got a hooded figure with a concealed weapon entering the premises of the Prime Minister along with the Queens and Hyprons. Enter the premises with caution. Excessive force can be used."

Canadian Special Forces immediately deploy and drive to the hotel.

---

The Spanish guards, stand outside of the hotel. The night is normal and quiet but then they hear something in the distance. A few seconds later a convoy of Canadian military vehicles turn a corner and stop in front of the Spanish guards. Soon afters squads of Canadian military members in SWAT like uniforms exit the cars and run towards the hotel entrance.

A Spanish guard was pushed aside when trying to confront the Canadians. Another Spanish guard just stood to the side to stay out of the way. The Spanish Commander went to stand beside them. All confused the Spanish wonder why the Canadians are SWAT-ing them.

Both Spanish guards stand and observe that more people are running towards the building. A mix of both RCMP and Canadian military forces soon circle the building guns drawn and aimed. The amount of guns pointed at the hotel is ridiculous in the Spanish eyes. Just as they thought it couldn't have gotten any worse the Spanish notice a light tank driving up and snipers moving into positions.

The Spanish don't even try to say anything to stop the madness, everywhere they turn and look there is a Canadian holding a gun, up high and down low.

Canadian Special Forces enter the hotel and do a search on the first floor but it is clear. They run up the stairs to be greeted by Spanish guards but just like the other Spanish guards they are pushed aside. The Canadians don't go any further down the second floor they bypass it as they want to get to the fourth floor as soon as possible to ensure the Prime Minister is safe. However, the noise they are making would surely wake the Queens up just a few doors down the hallway.

Entering the third floor there are no Hypronian guards but there is some plants and a vase blocking the way a little bit to get to the fourth floor. A soldier picks up the vase and smashes it against the third floor wall. The noise on the third floor then get louder to the point of waking people up as well.

---

Stephen Pearson is sound asleep in the bed. Tanya is outside the door picking the lock to get in. She is unaware of the massive Canadian police and military presence just outside. The picking of the lock is successful and she enters the bed room and closes the door. Just as the door was closed the first Special forces units make it the the fourth and final floor.

Tanya sees the sleeping Prime Minister. She takes her hand and grabs the gun she had in her pocket. It was her intention only to put it on a table. The gun had its safety on. While holding the gun and extending her arms to put the gun on the table the door to the room burst open and multiple soldiers enter the room guns drawn. At the exact same moment soldiers crash through the window and land into the room. The glass breaking made another loud noise along side the other noise.

The lead soldiers sees the gun and yells;

"GUN, GUN, GUN"

Major-General Tanya is not surprised at the sight of the Canadian military about to take her down. She thought that they must have seen her enter the building or else there wouldn't have been any guns pointed at her.

Tanya drops the gun on the ground then takes off the hood of the hoodie. Just as she was about to be tacked to the ground the Canadian realize it was the second on command of the Canadian Armed Forces. Some soldiers fall to the ground just to avoid tacking Tanya.

---

At the same time while the Canadians entered Pearson's room other soldiers go to the rooms of the other Canadians to ensure they were safe. Ralph Goodale was up and he was cooking a midnight meal for himself. He was using the microwave. Soliders were just about to enter Ralph's room peacefully but then 3 loud shots were heard in his room.

These shots weren't actually gun shots but according to the soldiers it sounded like gun shots. The sound coming from his room was actually the microwave making its noise to symbolize that the food was done.

But since the soldiers thought it was gun shots they entered the room aggressively and one trigger happy solider just starting firing his weapon. His Squad mates then just starting firing as well. It was dark in the room and these soldiers did not have night vision on them so they just fired their guns in every and all possible direction. Luckily Ralph was in the washroom at the time and was not caught in the hail of bullets.

If nobody wasn't awoken by any of the other noise they surely would have been awoken by tons loud gun fire.

Major-General Tanya walked out of his room along side the other Canadian soldiers to explain the situation.

Ralph exits the washroom to see a bunch of damage to the room. Worst of all his midnight snack was destroyed in the fire of bullets. Soldiers enter the room to see nobody harmed. It was just plain old Ralph Goodale, the Minister of National Defence. Ralph looks outside to see a large amount of Canadian soldiers and police with guns. He even gets more confessed to see a tank on the ground and helicopters in the air.

How will he explain this to the other people in the hotel.

Over the duration of the entire situation Stephen Pearson was sound asleep. He slept through the entire thing like nothing ever happened.

The Prime Minister is asleep, then wakes up to gunfire. He gets on the phone " ALERT THE SAS! Bring them over!"

10 minutes later.

The Prime Minister, in full SAS gear and with 10 SAS troopers, heads up a level to the Canadian floor.

[Independant Canada]

The Prime Minister is asleep, then wakes up to gunfire. He gets on the phone " ALERT THE SAS! Bring them over!"

10 minutes later.

The Prime Minister, in full SAS gear and with 10 SAS troopers, heads up a level to the Canadian floor.

Ralph, Tanya and other members of the Canadian military discuss what just happened. They are actaully proud that the Canadian response was fast because you never know, that could have been a real situation. Major-General Tanya explains to the members why she is there because she thought that the Prime Minister wasn't being properly protected. He almost got ran over by a car while on his shopping cart adventure for goodness sake.

After finishing explaining, the Canadians all laugh at the situation. They can't believe a tank and helicopters had to get involved. Especially for one person with a gun. Was the response overkill?

Ralph was still hungry so he called room service to make food for the soldiers and everybody on the Canadian floor.

When the British SAS and John Smith arrived they would see a bunch of Canadians laughing and having a good time eating pizza. Ralph notices the British and waves to them. Tanya and Ralph laugh at the sight of the 10 SAS members and Smith himself.

"Hey, you were already beaten to the situation. It's a false alarm. Sorry about that. We seemed to have messed up. Everything is under control. We have a tank down there. We're all safe. Those poor Spanish Queens though. I bet we woke them up and interrupted their beauty sleep. Ahahaha"

Tanya and Raplh along with a few other Canadians laugh at the joke.
