โToday, we mark a beginning. The founding stones of what will become not just a pact, not merely an allianceโbut a civilization. Thirty-one nations, each proud in their heritage, standing together not for war, not out of fear, but from hope.โI glanced over them allโthe kings and queens, dukes and presidents, prime ministers and city lords.โThis hall,โ I continued, โis not just built of marble and glass. It is built from ambition. From trust. From the idea that perhaps, just perhaps, we can rise together instead of pulling each other down.โThe screens in the corners displayed live translations in every major language. News anchors echoed my words across a thousand cities.โIn this chamber, we will pass laws that will shape generations. We will debate not for power, but for progress. And we will stand, together, against the tidesโbe they of monsters, or tyranny, or ignorance.โI paused.โLet this be clear to the world. The United Nations Alliance is not a novelty. It is not a symbol

โItโs nothinโ fancy,โ he said, โjust somethinโ to fill the trade manifest.โI smiled and raised my cup. โIโll take every log youโve got.โHe grinned, thinking heโd done me a favor. But he had no idea heโd just handed me a goldmine. Iโm not going to exploit it. Not entirely.Iโll make sure Froatlan sees the benefit in time. But first, I need to build the infrastructure. Scale it. Test it under our food labs. Run it through Aeternum Research and Development with Rafaelaโs approval. Only then, once I have full documentation and logistics locked down, will I circle back to the king and offer him a generous new contract.Because this time, it wonโt be a filler on a trade sheet. Itโll be a headline product for continental distribution. And Froatlan wonโt be the only nation.In the past few weeks, Iโve quietly catalogued dozens of unique products from the other small and mid-sized UNA nations. Magical root vegetables that resist rot for a year. Glowing citrus fruits that radiate low warmth a

I smiled. โWe intend to feed it instead.โQueen Inariel of Livra clutched a box of Aeternum's long-preservation rice cakes during the meeting, holding it like a national treasure. โYou mean to tell me these can last for a year... and still taste like this?โโWe have cakes that last three years,โ I said. โStored underground. In heat. In cold. Still moist.โShe blinked. โSorcery.โโNo,โ I corrected, โscience. And logistics.โEveryone agreed almost instantly that aligning their economies to ours, adopting our credit system for trade, and synchronizing tariffs would be beneficial. Especially since it would give them instant access to the Aeternum distribution network.In simpler termsโthey could now stock their entire nation with goods they could never dream of producing. Theyโd be fools to oppose it. I looked around the table, watching the collective realization settle on every face:They need us.And for the first time, they weren't ashamed of it. They were grateful.โLet it be official

โI know the nature of power,โ I added, letting the words land slowly. โIt tempts even the kindest hearts. And while many of you lead with honor, I will not pretend that ambition and old rivalries have disappeared just because we now sit at the same table.โThere were no retorts to that. They all knew it was true.โEven small nations,โ I said, softer now, but no less clear, โharbor great ambitions. I donโt fault you for it. Itโs human. But the Peacekeeper Force will not be used as a blade in someone elseโs private war. That is not up for debate.โAt my side, Queen Duchess Angela nodded. Her voice, cool and composed, added weight to mine. โThis restriction was agreed upon by the Six Founding Members of the UNA Council. Myself. President Mies. Queen Aqeesha of Eloesa. Queen Zanesia of Zaredon. King Sigwald of Froatlan. King Udo of Crystal Lake. And Great Archmage Lodwig of Artermesia.โQueen Aqeesha stood next. โWe anticipated this reaction. Weโve seen how coalitions fallโwhen the sword

I looked around the table, my voice calm but firm. โNo other alliance in history has formed such a force. Not for conquestโbut for preservation. This is the new standard. This is how we hold the line against the chaos.โQueen Zanesia of Zaredon spoke next. โIโve seen the drills. Iโve seen the equipment. If we had this ten years ago, we wouldnโt have lost half our coastline to that dungeon eruption. Aeternumโs tech saved our nation. Iโll stand behind this force.โQueen Aqeesha of Eloesa nodded in agreement. โOur enemies wait for the Monster Tide to strike, knowing weโll be too busy defending to stop their incursions. But if we can stand together, they will think twice.โOthers voiced support tooโslowly, at first, then rising like a wave. Even the ever-cautious King Helberd of Nirewind spoke with grudging admiration. โYou offer steel and shield. And if this force proves itselfโฆ it may just shape the future of war.โElijah, seated beside me in her official capacity as Vice President, lea

The UNA Peacekeeper InitiativeThe UNA Economic CorridorBoth were my brainchildren. The heart and bones of this alliance. The Peacekeeper Forceโan integrated multinational military corps designed not to conquer, but to protect. It would be stationed across strategic points, ready to respond to threats against any UNA member. A deterrent. A message. That an attack on one is an attack on all.Many of the nations are already on board. They understand the importance. Some of the weaker kingdoms see it as a shield. The stronger ones view it as shared responsibilityโand, to their credit, a way to exert soft influence.The Economic Corridor, meanwhileโฆ thatโs the long game. A single trade network spanning every UNA nation. Unified customs. Standardized regulations. And most importantly, a unified trade currencyโAeternum Credits.That one will ruffle feathers.Theyโll try to play polite, say itโs โtoo soonโ or โcomplicated,โ but they know the truth: whoever controls the currency flow, contro

โThere she is!โ shouted a teenager, pointing at Queen Zanesia, radiant in indigo robes. โThatโs our queen!โThe crowd erupted into cheers.โShe stood among the greatest!โ another exclaimed. โAnd we belong there now.โAnd on the distant coastlines of the Island Kingdom of Eloesa, sailors and dockworkers stopped their tasks to gather at makeshift amphitheaters, screens positioned on cargo crates and tower decks. The sailors saluted as Queen Aqeesha and her daughter appeared onscreen, their navy uniforms gleaming with pride.โI never thought Iโd live to see it,โ said an old captain, his weathered hands gripping a mug of rum. โA summit... not about war, but peace. And they sang, aye. They sang.โEven in the most remote corners of the UNA, the Cultural Exchange Extravaganza had reached hearts and homes.In rural villages with little more than a small relay post, farmers gathered outside taverns, their eyes wet with joy at the sight of their countryโs flag soaring high among the banners of

โ[My friends. My fellow citizens. My allies,]โ his voice rang clear, projected into the hearts of all listening. โ[It is with great prideโand even greater hopeโthat I declare the opening of the UNA Cultural Exchange Extravaganza!]โThe stadium erupted once more into applause, fireworks blooming above in symmetrical harmony, each explosion tinted with the national colors of all UNA members.President Mies continued, his tone deepening with gravitas.โ[Tonight, we gather not only as leaders or citizens of different lands, but as kindred spirits of this age. We gather to celebrate what makes us unique, and to embrace what binds us together. Culture, language, tradition, and innovationโeach of these is not a wall to separate us, but a thread in the great tapestry of unity we now weave together.]โHe glanced at the audience, meeting the gaze of monarchs, prime ministers, generals, and peasants alike.โ[Aeternum is honored to host this first cultural celebration of the UNA. But let it not b

Meanwhile, Queen Aqeesha Eloesa watched her daughterโs naval training academy set up a simulated navigation experience in the Eloesan booth. She turned to one of the local officials nearby. โTell your President, he has our gratitude. Thisโฆ this was brilliant.โIndeed, it was clear to all who attended that only Aeternumโvisionary, progressive, and deeply thoughtfulโcould have conceived of such an event. There were no rankings. No contests. No judging. Each booth was a celebration of individuality under a shared banner.Director Kwak Lum, who had been overseeing the setup since before sunrise, stood quietly on one of the upper terraces, watching the crowd below. Hundreds of thousands flowed through the walkways. The laughter of children. The mingling of different languages. Dances. Music. Spontaneous performances.He turned to the Aeternum Press Secretary beside him.โLook at them,โ he said softly, the corners of his mouth lifting in satisfaction. โThis is what unity feels like.
