Establishing Nation
Markstad radio 2, at 7.27 a.m.
It was night, almost 4 in the morning, when Quintus II steppped out of the helicopter that brought him home from Kadikistan. The people of Markstad looked with big eyes at the steel monster and cheered as our leader appeared out of its stomach and it looked as if Jonas came out of the whale. The new prophet walked to a chariot that drove him into the city, to his palace, and there the new Jonas, coming out of the sea and the whale, started to call for change. ‘Redemption is what this country needs”, where his first words. ‘Redemption for the cleric, for the aristocrat, for the merchant, for the farmer and the worker, for the free and the non-free, for men and women, for child and elderly citizen, for everyone in this country. Listen Israël, listen people of the Lord: a voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him! I call upon you, in this wilderness: build this country together, convert to what is right, farm and work, everyone, and pray! Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. A new social order, settled and wanted by God, a new society, that is what lies ahead of us”. The crowd cheered, applauded, people cried. The Prince-Bishop went into the palace. A new dawn for this nation came with him from the east.

Today Quintus II has returned from Kadikistan. It was the first visit of a Prince-Bishop to another nation in hundreds of years. Kadikistan, friend in those troubled times of the recent past, has send an invitation to our leader. No one knew about his plans, and when he left the palace on horse days ago, nobody knew what he was up to. Some people of his home town said they saw him leave “in the air”.
It is only yesterday that we heard about our Prince-bishop speaking at the Party Congress closing ceremony at Ivar’s Tovarisch Square. He announced a ‘Markense Sociale Omwenteling’, with a reform in all the segments of this society for the better and the benefit of every citizen. It is yet to be clarified what this MSO will stand for. But changes will be made in our nation.
The journal, Markense Mededelingen, in the special evening edition:
We do not know what this MSO means. But achievements are made! It is an achievement Quintus II spoke as a leader, well balanced and belligerent. It is a achievement the crowd in Ivar listened to our First Priest. But it is maybe the biggest achievement that it was Marshall Nikolai Leninov who announced him and at the end called him Your Excellence is something no one ever achieved in Ivar. And international reactions will come soon. This time, Gouw Marken has taken the international stage. But a Markens proverb says: ‘The play is up as long as the curtain is up’*.
*Meaning: you can be silenced sooner as you may think.
