Sovern wrote:All Hail Alduin!

President Alduin can be seen standing in front of the Capitol, peering over a vast crowd of his citizens who blanket the surrounding cityscape. The raised Sovern flags wave majestically with the wind.

"It has been some time since I've stood here. From this view, I can see that Sovern was grown well without me. It warms my heart that my homeland can prosper without my presence. It proves that my faith in my people hasn't betrayed me, heck you can even say you did better without me. Regardless, I am still needed. The universe has revisited my role as a leader, and its finally the time to embrace my path. We all share this path, it is a journey we must all witness to ascend to the next level of our being, as a people. My vision for Sovern was clear, and for that I must reform what I know.

As mentioned during my presidential campaign, I will be reforming the President's role. I plan on extending the term length from five years, to ten years. There will also be no applicable term limits for the Presidency. In addition, more powers will be granted to the President to insure the security of our people, and the well being of our nation. We much adapt to the world, or the nations abroad will consume us. A strong leader is necessary during these dark times. I will also be pushing for more filters on Sovern's immigration program; while I find that the integration of immigrants may prove beneficial to the nation's economy, the security is as important, and the bureaucrats haven't realized there has to be a common ground for both means. To top it all off, I will be expanding Sovern's space program in the hopes of developing an advanced inter-stellar fleet, more orbital defenses and security systems, and the foundation of a martian colony. Its time that our proud people be able to casually touch the stars that illuminate our night sky. We must go above and beyond, or we'll sink down to the debts of despair and regression. We must fuel the drive to succeed and best our limits."

The crowd cheers, waving proudly their national flag, rallying the energy to continue Sovern's ambitions

"This is not up to me. This up to the determination of the common Sovern. If you support me, and wish to share the same dream that I have, then we won't be faced with any limits. I am no better or stronger than the average citizen, I am merely the flagship to our destination. We can't get soft because of the luxuries we possess, we must go above and beyond what the world expects from us. Sovern is the mighty sword that doesn't rust, that doesn't fault, that doesn't miss its target. Our swing is grand and unstoppable. Our dreams will lead us to unlimited glory, and prestige!"

The audience's waving becomes more apparent and wild, distant whistling and robust behavior enhance the experience.

"However, we must no make enemies. We have no business causing trouble, and engaging in pointless belligerence. Now, we must not only be united as a people, but be united as a front with our allies. International collaboration is our objective to a more stable world, and a better tomorrow for all nations, and all peoples. We will stand proud with the Hedrans, we will remain loyal to our neighbors, we must model ourselves after the Hyperboreans - the primordial race of mankind. Together, we can form a realm of peace and sovereignty. However, under my administration, we will not tolerate bullies or those who wish to only spill turmoil and suffering. We will not idly stand by while others target our allies, interests, and partners abroad. We will remain firm against anyone, no matter what banner they wave. Our enemies will know what hell we can bring when you threaten us in any way. Sovern will last for the centuries to come, and we will not wither as time passes.

I am nearing the end, but I won't leave knowing there could be more done for my beloved nation, and my people I will fight to the very end to defend, so for those who only wish ill intentions, you should count your blessings, because Sovern will never back down, we will press on through hell and heaven to get what we desire. Long live Sovern, and glory to those who are privileged with the Sovern name!" President Alduin finishes as he salutes to the crowd, which grows wild and almost out of control. In the distance, a growing chant echoes throughout the collective voices, "All Hail Alduin!"

The Hedran government applauds Alduin’s victory and wishes all the best for the Sovern people and for the Hedra-Sovern alliance to live on.
