"And compared to other nations, we have no power in enforcing our own lands or airspace. We are relying on Kabundaka to uphold our treaty if there is a war. The only reason our territory is still ours is because of respect for territorial claims."

"No one here is doubting your right to inhabit your own island, and to, ahem, choose whoever government you want. But the space, well... You have to admit that it's a completely different matter. You can't say, 'very well, my people lived there for centuries, so this place is mine'. That's a question of sense."

"It's more of a matter of security than anything else. From the right height, you can see all of our island with a lone satellite."

"We could see your whole island with an hot air ballon, for what it watters. Do you think that someone will be stopped from peeking into your affairs from a transit fee?"

"The fee is simply there so that we may economise from this. Think of it as a border tariff."

From the right height and ten metres outside of your 'airspace', they could still see all of your island.

"Hence why we have increased the distance."

"How on earth do you plan on enforcing such a claim anyways?"

You might want to take a closer look at the treaty if you think we will seriously help you with this. We protect your 'internationally recognised' territory; this has achieved recognition only as an object of ridicule.

"We never stated that you would help us protect this newly claimed area. We were using you as an example as to how we could as easily have our land and seas taken away from us before your protection."

"Well, let's hope you manage to secure a similar agreement with the Dunians or the Laythians!!"

"Is there anything else anyone would like to mention?"

The delegate puts on his coat and leaves silently, nodding good will to anyone who looks up at him, walking out towards the hotel and then the helicopter waiting to take him back to the waiting ship.

Romero stands up to go to the bathroom. He lights his last cigarette himself, and inhales it. As it begins to burn down, he sneakily throws the remains into a nearby bin; as he leaves the room, smoke begins to bellow from the crack between the door and the floor, and slowly begins to seep into the main dining hall.

"Did you burn the dessert or am i smelling smoke?"

"Considering that we ate the dessert 2 hours ago, and that you took 3 servings, I'd say the second one."

"Im also smelling smoke. Is that a good sign? I think not..."

"We should actually do something, guards! Mind checking out the smoke?"

"It looks like its coming from the space below door... Did someone smoke before leaving?"

A guard enters the bathroom, and ewits with an half burnt cicarette, that he brings to the Shahanshah.

"Oh look, a Terripanian made cigarette. Say, Mr. President, are you trying to burn the place to make a point about you foreign policy? I higly praise this too, in addition to your space one."

"What the hell are you trying to accuse me of? I only smoke Kyuxian-rolled cigarettes. Hell, Terripana doesn't even have any tobacco farms nor cigarette factories!"

"Oh, my bad. Actually it's a Kyuxian rolled cigarette. So, tell me, why are trying to burn us all?"

"You forget, if I was trying to burn you all, I'd get entrapped in the flames also. There is also a multitude of guards around me. Escape would be impossible."

"Well, in this case is plain and clear criminal negligence! I can only imagine the magnifical work your son is doing as head of the fire brigade, if he had such an example in fron of him!!!"

"I'm more distressed by the fact that you have no sprinklers or alarm systems in your toilet facilities."
