First Minister Cooper, looking tired, steps up to the microphone.
"Greetings All, I stand before you today giving my last q and a session as your First Minister. At six am this morning, at Port Bircham on the Tea Kaygian coast, the forces of 'Ss62', under the command of Sava, peacefully entered the region and assumed control. Having been accepted by the people of the region, Ss62 is now in full control of what was formely Tea Kaygia, and we are happy that their forces are well equipped enough to maintain peace and stability in the area and have formally announced the withdrawal of Cerooan forces in the area. Following his excellent work, the Viceroy is to be appointed Cerooan ambassador to our friends in Ss62. A farewell party is being held next Friday in Port Bircham, Cerooan citizens with family members in the marines stationed there will be invited to attend. Just make sure you're back in time to vote!"
The group of jounalists present laughed, Cooper still made jokes despite the fact that his second term was nearly over, and he was to be condemmed to obscurity.
"Are there any questions?"

"First Minister, why have Sava's forces only just come in to protect the citizens in the coastal regions?"

"We're not to sure, it might just've been a case of waiting until they were ready. I'm sure they were happy with us protecting the region for the time being, as were the former Tea Kaygians".

"First Minister, where are the marines being sent next?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know that".

"So they won't be heading for Azan?"

"There are no plans to commit any of our marines or other ground forces to Azan at this time, as there are no further on-topic questions, let's call it a night. Good night."
