The doors burst violently open, and the Sula delegation, led by a very drunk Éfil Iyuvos (Sula pop star), stumbles in.

An confused attendant steps forward cautiously: “Excuse me, sir, I don’t mean to be impolite, but, well, what are you doing here?”

Iyuvos: “For deh, uh, wassit, deh Worldo-visshun thing, y’know, like, songs n’ stuff…”

The attendant, visibly distressed, retrieves a tablet containing the registry: “Sir, May I have your name?”

Iyuvos looks up indignantly, surprised at not being recognized: “I-I’m the greatesht mu-music, uh, musician in Europe, Éfil Iyu-uvosh, obvioussleh…”

Attendant: “I’m sorry, sir, you don’t seem to have been registered.”

Iyuvos: “Whaddya mean registererert, I don’t have to do no registers-“ promptly vomits

The attendant, after calling for cleanup: “Yes, sir, all national delegations wishing to participate had to register, and very far in advance at that.”

Iyuvos: “Naw, yur lying, I know cuz like, last year, I didn’t have none of that registungering to do, no sir.”

Attendant: “Ah yes, you participated last year. We all remember that… Well, anyways, it’s always the government that registers for the musicians, and I believe your government had more pressing things to see to. I’m very sorry sir, but you can’t come in.”

Iyuvos, grabbing at the attendant’s collar but missing and holding onto his shoulder instead: “Now, yullisten here, d’yuh know how f-famous I am! Just lemmego in, I’ll, uh, like, buy you something, yeah, like, something real expensive, *hiccups* and I can go in, our little shecrert.”

Attendant: “Security!”

Iyuvos, this time succeeding in grabbing the collar: “Now lisshun t’me, if you don’t lemme in, I’ll, I’ll… aaahgh!” pulls back fist for a punch, but misses and spins onto the ground, is picked up by the security

Security guard: “Mr Iyuvos, we’re going to have to ask you to leave.”

Iyuvos: “You, you little-“ hand is put over his mouth and he’s dragged out, the delegation (which had remained strangely quiet) follows

The doors slam, and the attendant sits down and wipes his brow. Several onlookers hastily begin to post recordings.

How wonderful it is to see the LDU continuing to thrive! It's great to see so many familiar nations and plenty new ones too.

As I've said since day one, and as was written in our first constitution, this is a democratic member-led region. It always has been, and always will be. To be clear, the political freedoms and civil liberties requirement wasn't my rule, but one agreed by members at the time. And which members are of course free to change.

Aside from insisting that this is a member-led, democratic region, I've always been clear about one other thing: this freedom, plurality and democracy is "underpinned by a commitment to open, fair, compassionate society within a market economy where all people enjoy equal protection of civil rights and political freedoms. Therefore, the Liberal Democratic Union explicitly condemns fascism, communism, and all forms of dictatorship."

I always wanted to be clear from that right from the start. I doubt anyone would confuse this for a communist or fascist region. But in the unlikely event of an attempted communist/fascist takeover, it's better to have been upfront!

Hope that gives some reassurance. You've all built a truly great region here. If there's anything I can do to help you in anyway, do feel free to let me know!
