Office of the Prime Minister of Arendaal and Suionia
Emyn Arnen, Arendaal

“We have a problem,” says the Prime Minister of Arendaal and Suionia.
“Yes,” replies Gustavsson.
Officially, he, Gustavsson, is the Prime Minister’s chief advisor. His real responsibilities are something of a mystery to everyone. To everyone except Gustavsson, that is. To him, it seems, there are no mysteries. Only work to be done, threads to be unraveled.
He trained as a lawyer. Some say he is a secret service agent. Never around him, though. And never too loudly. One never knows who might be listening.
“Suionia,” sighs the Prime Minister.
Gustavsson would sigh too, if he were the sighing sort. Suionia is a matter, in Aren circles, which tends to be sighed over. Arendaal in Suionian circles, however, has long ceased to be a sighing matter. The Suionians are past sighing. Shouts, gesticulations, complaints – these are what issue forth from their Members of Parliament, from their popular politicians, from their civic leaders.
Suionia wants freedom. It wants it badly.
