Sappa, Harmajaa
"Minister, it is good you have arrived. We have news!"
The Minister of Economy for the Saamo Socialist Republic, Ábel Komini had just returned from a visit to a new factory in Sappa. It was one of the many developments happening in the region that had been a priority for the Harmajaan government for years now.
"You have news?"
"We have news."
"Well, lets get inside and get on with it." Komini was not one for wasting time, and was rarely amused. They went inside the government building -- it was much more elaborate than some of the initial outposts built in the city, then a village.
They entered the Ministers temporary office and shut the door.
"So, what is new?"
"Minister, we have a message from West Brigidna. They are proposing a conference of all the governments of Brigidna. We have been invited."
"So we have?" The Minister was, admittedly, a bit surprised. Harmajaa was a long way from West Brigidna, and though petrol and other resources from Harmajaa were sold around the globe, it was not common for a small state like Harmajaa to be invited to something like this. "What is their aim?"
"It is very vague. I am not certain."
The Minister frowned. "I assume the Tyko has a response?"
"They do. They are apprehensive but willing to listen. They have reached out to Severyane to see of they have any response as well."
Komini did find this rather strange, but there could be benefits. A planned economy like Harmajaas, still so young at that, could see dangers as well, however.
"Send a cable to Tyko. I am returning today. I want to discuss this with the other Ministers. Tell them..." He paused. "Tell them I am interested, but we have much to discuss before we make any serious response."
"And what of the rest of your tour of Sappa?"
The Minister smiled, a rare sight indeed. "You finish it. You are a deputy minister and I trust your judgement. Write up a report and get it to me when you are finished."
The deputy minister sighed as he went to carry out his orders.
