SANDRA HOOK: My fellow citizens, Happy Proclamation Day.  On this day one hundred forty years ago, we declared our independence from the Dominion of Canada and the British Empire and began to chart our own course through history.
That course wasn’t always smooth, as we all know, but together we have overcome obstacles and enemies to reach this point.  To quote from our national anthem, we are ‘an island of freedom, in an unhappy world.’
Proclamation Day is traditionally a happy occasion, but our happiness and pride in our independence is colored by the events to our south.  Those events are disturbing, and made worse by the current President’s imposition of high tariffs and his talk of “regime change” here in Seathl.
I and your government know that you’re worried, and we are keeping a close watch on the economy, my friends.  We have other markets to turn to, and we are Rain Islanders – we look out for each other.  We will make sure that our neighbors do not go hungry and do not lack for the necessities of modern life, despite foreign threats.
Regarding the threat of “regime change,” the Syndic of the Military Collective, the sword and shield of the People, and the Commodore are keeping a very close eye on our neighbor.  I have spoken at length over the past few months with our Alliance neighbors, with Alaska, Tillamook, and Spontoon, and we have agreed that only by remaining united in the North Pacific Alliance, as we did in the Pacific War in the last century, can we resist this new and unexpected threat until such time as our neighbor comes back to its former good senses.
We wish them well, but we must look to our own.
I apologize to you all, because I didn’t want to speak of bad news today, of all days.  But I know that you’re worried about the future, and I wanted to take this opportunity to reassure you as far as I’m able.
I will attend the ceremonies in Haywood Square today at noon, but I’ll be thinking of you and the heavy responsibilities you placed on me when you elected me your Chief Syndic.  So I ask you to forgive me if I seem a little preoccupied from time to time.
May the Gods bless us, and may they continue to bless Rain Island with liberty and peace.
Thank you.
