King Johnslo walked the halls of Tiydes Palace, reflecting on all the things that have happened in the past few years. As the sound of his boots on the marble floor echoed throughout the palace, he could not help but feel empty and sad. The palace had seen many battles, and most famously was where his mother Queen Sophia had made her speech from the throne using her authority to attend a military coup attempt in 1974. It now stood empty, isolated, a shadow of its former glory.
Ever since the accidental death of Prince Walter, King Johnslo's first child, the buidling had remained empty. The Queen refusing to ever step inside it again. As he rounded a corner and faced the throne room, the King saw his wife, Queen Meghan kneeling before a photo of the King Harold XIV the founder of democracy and parliamentarianism in the Kingdom. This was Prince Walts favourite photo, as his ancestor had a comical look on his face and was riding upon a pig instead of a horse, a sign of his humility and humour. The King stood still, shocked that his wife had ventured into the Palace.
Queen Meghan raised herself from the altar, an expression of renewal on her face.
"I feel whole again. I have been selfish keeping this place locked up from the public because of my loss. It is time that we restore it to its former glory, and use it for good. As Walt would have wanted..."
"What would you have me do, my Queen?"
"Tiydes Palace shall be a centre of art and learning. We shall use it to display works of Art, Sculpture and Design from throughout the region. It once again will contribute to the culture and fabric of our society".

Memorandum
To Nations of The North Pacific,
The King and Queen of McMasterdonia are requesting any contribution of art and culture to the new museum that will be opening in Tiydes Palace.
The Gallery will aim to display the art and culture of a great region and from a cross-section of our fine society. All contributions, large and small, will be welcomed. The region has become increasingly disjoint, with individual nations becoming more and more secular and closed.
The Gallery of Tiydes Palace gives us all the opportunity to display what is great and good in our region. It will help to foster social inclusion and sharing amongst us all, and will prove to be a great asset to our prosperous region. Contributing nations will be invited to attend the grand opening of the Gallery on the anniversary of Prince Walt's death. It shall be a grand occasion, full of joy, hope, and celebrating the great future we share in our region.
Sincerely
King Johnslo and Queen Meghan
The Kingdom of McMasterdonia
