<Harold> Hello, Filipe. 
<Filipe> Ok...I'm sorry too. Things go fast, last week. And go over my control. 
<Filipe> 
<Harold> That is not good for the Laranjian national interest...!
<Filipe> I would like to tell that I not accepted any position in Reunion government, because I wanna stay in Orange and work for our country.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> I'm glad to hear that. I most certainly will not do anything in Reunion!
<Harold> 
<Harold> Claudio, however, acts as though I were a regular citizen of Reunion. That made my hair stand on end!
<Harold> 
<Filipe> Claudio invited me to be an Imperial Counselor, and will invite you, too. Yes. He's thinking he gained 23 new citizens, but it's not true. 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> 
<Harold> How will the Orange Constitution be changed to meet the terms of the Act of Union?
<Harold> 
<Harold> Amendment.
<Harold> Then you wrote it.
<Harold> 
<Filipe> There's a new constitution, with the changes, ready, in my computer. I call it the Amendment no. 01.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> It's the differences I worry about!
<Harold> 
<Filipe> Yes, I wrote it. It's the same Constitution, wiht few differences. 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> As I said, the Council of State has less power now. It can't veto a law from the forresters, for example, anymore. It just a advicement council. "advicement"? hehehe...
<Filipe> 
<Harold> Advisory.
<Harold> How is the Moderative Power set up then?
<Harold> 
<Filipe> The Moderative will only watch, give advices, give noble titles...no veto power. 
<Harold> How will the Council of State be set up?
<Filipe> 
<Harold> 
<Harold> I understand that Micah Kubic is to become our Lord Protector?
<Harold> 
<Filipe> ah, the Prince (or the Lord Protetor) will define the numbers os chairs in the council of state.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> nominated
<Harold> 
<Harold> I do not have a problem with that nomination, from what I have seen so far.
<Harold> 
<Filipe> Yes, he is the Lord, actually. Claudio nominated him, hours ago.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> What other changes are in the Constitution, as amended.
<Harold> 
<Harold> Yes, I remember those. You are saying that the Council of State is the ONLY change as the result of the Act of Union?
<Harold> 
<Filipe> What else we discussed, weeks ago? Do you remember? There's everything there, but I can't remember now.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> What is the legal standing in Orange of the Act of Union itself?
<Filipe> As the result, yes, if you're talking about changes that affect the country.
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> Just a minute. It's a big name...
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> Orange is the constitutional, democratic and parlamentarista monarchy, is the Independent and Sovereign State of the Oranger Nation, integrated to the Empire of Reunion.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> What does "integrated" mean?
<Harold> 
<Filipe> joined. 
<Harold> I have visions of Star Trek, where Reunion is the Borg, and we are being assimilated....
<Harold> 
<Harold> Joined? I can live with that.
<Harold> 
<Filipe> Hahahaha....my god...hahaha!
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> In fact, we aren't reunion citizens. But we can do everything a reunion citizen does.
<Filipe> 
<Harold> Interesting! Claudio says we are. (I do not want to be).
<Harold> 
<Harold> 
<Filipe> Yes, he's saying, but it's not true. 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> Yes, it'll be a important talk. 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> 
<Filipe> See you...
<Filipe> 
<Harold> Thank you for your help, Filipe. I have Micah Kubic on Internet Messenger, and I think we need to talk a bit too. See you later...
<Harold> 
<Filipe> And, Jean...I'm a oranger citizen. Please, don't think I like Reunion more than our Principality. 
<Filipe>
