Queen Georgina: leans back, smirking So, you reckon we push for full independence now, or wait for better timing?
listen to the people first… get their thoughts on your rule
rolls her eyes, scoffs You think I haven't already done that? Look, I've been out there, hitting the campaign trail, shaking hands, kissing babies.
yeah but have you really looked at what they said to you?
slams her fist on the table Of course, I've listened to the people! I'm not some clueless politician, you know.
what did they say then? be specific!
narrows her eyes, leaning forward They said they want independence. They want to break free from the federal government's grip and make their own decisions.
take all the money from the feds, cancel all treaties and agreements, take all the military equipment and supplies, and expel all non-Georgians. do you think that’s what they said?
pauses, considering YauBeach's words Well, when you put it that way... sighs Fine. I've heard enough.
smirks, crossing her arms Watch me. I'm gonna make Georgia so independent, so strong, that they'll wish they never tried to mess with us in the first place.
i’m behind you 110 percent
grinning That's what I like to hear, YauBeach. We're gonna shake things up in Georgia, you mark my words.
do you want me to send out letters to every Georgian in regards to your rule change?
waves her hand dismissively Nah, nah, nah. We ain't gotta go that route. Word of mouth is just fine.
are you sure? how about an official letterhead?
leans back, contemplating Hm, not a bad idea. We'll send out a memo, but make it clear that this is a royal decree.
also send out word to other countries that we are accepting embassy’s and we will accept diplomatic immunity
smirks Diplomatic immunity, huh? Well, YauBeach, you know what? I like the way you think. Consider it done.
I say we spread the word fast, we don’t want anyone coming to war with us
snaps her fingers You got it, YauBeach! I'll have my messengers ride day and night to spread the word.
also send out a message to the feds that our land is our own
stands up, pacing back and forth You bet your ass I'll send a message to those bureaucratic bitches that we ain't theirs no more.
should we also say we will no longer accept any taxes from the feds?
stops pacing, grinning mischievously Damn straight, YauBeach! We ain't gonna let those federales dip their dirty hands into our pockets no more.
how about returning all the land that was taken from the Native American reservations?
raises an eyebrow Well, well, YauBeach, looks like you've been doing your history homework. smirks
yes, should we return it?
The return of the land leads to a violent conflict with the Native American tribes, resulting in many casualties and a permanent strain in the relationship between Georgia and the Native American community.
after it’s all over what now?
throws a pen at YauBeach Now, we start rebuilding, my friend. We need to focus on strengthening our defenses and boosting our economy.
what about the displaced natives who died?
gazes sternly at YauBeach Look, YauBeach, war is hell. We can't control who gets hurt, but we can control how we rebuild.
why are you acting like this?
throws her hands up in exasperation Acting like what?! Like a damn leader who gives a damn about her people!
yeah, but what happened to you?
pauses, her voice softens What happened to me? I guess you could say I've been through some shit, YauBeach.
