It was disappointing, Antoni had slaved for months drafting document after document and hosting countless meetings of delegations to even begin the founding of the Association. And he couldn't attend the first congregation of the Heads of Government. Assassination controversy kept him busy. Instead, a delegate had to attend in his place, a delegate named Filip; he was a wide-eyed, young man but was particularly talented in the arts of diplomacy and so was selected to go in place of the Grand Prince himself.

Rain pattered lightly on the window of Filip's car, it was always raining in Kalety.
"How close are we to the Forum, Stefan?" he asked his driver,
"It's just around the corner sir, we'll be there as soon as the light turns green."
"Good, good.."
As the driver predicted, they arrived only moments later. Much like everything else in Kalety, the Association Forum appeared to have been torn straight from the 19th century with its light-coloured stone exterior covered in rows of ornate windows. The door, which Filip began to approach, was uncharacteristically large and stood higher than the first floor of the building with detailed reliefs of Kaleta history carved into the face of the door - a strange choice for a place that was to represent all Szlavs. Filip disregarded it and proceeded to the Forum of the Council of Heads of Government.

The Republic of Kalety welcomes all Heads of Government to their first council, the Republic of Kalety proposes the following:
