Told you that it would take me a while. This is a longer chapter too.

"So this is my land?" Yelena says. They were on a plane and it was just landing in the only airport in Kaliningrad.

"Да." Russia says.

"Well it looks pretty." She says. She was gazing out the window.

"As are you. You represent your country well." Russia says. Yelena blushes. They get off the plane and get a taxi cab.

"Hello, I am Peter. Where are you going?" The driver asks.

"Kaliningrad city hall." Yelena says.

"Okay." Peter says.

Russia and Yelena wait silently in the backseat until they get to their destination. When they get there they pay Peter and walk toward the building.

"Is this where you want your government building to be?" Russia asks.

"Да." Yelena says.

"Now what I want you to do is look inside yourself for the pulse of your people." He says. "Summon all the leaders to this location."

"How?" She asks. They reach the front steps of the building. They sit down.

"Close your eyes and look inside yourself." He says. She closes her eyes. "Now what do you feel?"

"I…I feel a throb that doesn't match my heart beat." She says.

"Good. Now concentrate on it and repeat over and over 'All leaders come to Kaliningrad city hall.'"

She scrunches her face in concentration. Her eyes were still closed.

After about five minutes she opens her eyes. "So what now?" She says.

"Well we wait until tomorrow then you choose your first ruler."

"Oh." She says. They go to a nearby hotel and check in. Russia carries the luggage up to the room.

They are each sitting on a separate bed. Russia is staring at the ceiling.

"Where is the world conference being held?" Yelena asks.

"In France." Russia says.

"Oh." She says. Russia just continues staring at the ceiling until he remembers something.

"Yelena, there is one other thing I have to mention to you." He says.

"What?" She says.

"Well, you aren't a country unless other countries recognize you as one." He says.

"Why wouldn't they recognize me?"

"There is this boy. His name is Peter Kirkland. He is insistent that he is a country, but he isn't. He snuck into a meeting one time. Eventually just to get him out of the way Sweden adopted him." He says. Yelena stays silent. He looks over to her to see her looking down.

"So what if they don't recognize me?" She asks.

"They will. They will. I recognize you so others should follow." He says.

"Thank you Папа." She looks up and smiles at him.

The next day they go out to the city hall building again to find about ten people clustered outside of it. They are all talking.

"Why are there so few people here?" Yelena asks.

"Well, while there may be many protesters, there are only a few leaders." He says. They walk up to the group.

"Привет, everybody look at me." Russia says. The talking stops and the people in the group stare at him.

"Who are you?" A man asks.

"You do not need to know that. Follow me." Russia says. He looks out over the group. He turns around and walks into the building. Yelena was close behind him.

When he gets inside he turns around. Everyone had followed. That was good.

He turns back around and walks into a room. He looks around. He was lucky. He had picked a nice big conference room. He waits for everyone to come in.

When they all come in he closes and locks the door.

"Okay, I understand that all of you want Kaliningrad to be a free country. Am I correct?" He asks as he looks at all the faces. There was silence. "Am I correct?" He asks again, this time a bit louder.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Someone says. It was the same man that had talked outside.

Russia looks down at Yelena. She was looking around at all the people. She had a glint in her eyes.

"Everyone, please answer his questions. You can trust him. I, myself, am for the independence of Kaliningrad. I know that all of you are too." She says. Everyone looks at her. Russia smiles. She was smart.

"So if you already knew the answer, then why did you ask us?" The same man says.

She just smiles.

"My daughter and I are going to interview each of you. I expect no resistance." Russia says. "Who will go first?"

A man raises his hand. "Да. I will go first." He says.

"Come over here then. The rest of you go to the other side of the room." Russia says. The man steps forward and the rest retreat.

"What is your name?" Russia asks.

"Anton." The man says.

"Okay Anton, let's get started…." Russia says as he starts asking questions about where the man lived, why he joined the movement, and how he contributed. Yelena sat beside him and watched silently.

"Well, Anton. You may go back to the group and send another person forward." Russia says once he was done. Anton nods and walks to the other side of the room. Then the man that had asked all the questions comes over.

"I don't know who you are or what you want, but I just want this over with." He says.

"What is your name?" Russia says.

"Taras, who are you?" He asks.

"I am Ivan Braginski." Russia says. Taras smiles.

"Well, Ivan. I don't want to get involved with whatever you're playing." Taras says.

"With that attitude you won't." Russia says. "Yelena dear, please show this man out." Yelena's eyes widen but she nods and does what he says. She is soon back. Russia calls for another person to come over and the process starts all over again.

The last man was making his way over to Russia now.

"This is the last one sweetie" Russia says to Yelena. She nods.

"Hello." The man says when he gets over to Russia.

"Hello, what is your name sir?" Russia asks.

"Serezha." The man says.

"Why did you join the independence movement?" Russia asks.

"I feel that Kaliningrad is an area with great potential. It is very loose and open. It has the Russian spirit without the ideals. I joined because I believe that independence is the way to prosperity." Serezha says.

"What have you contributed to the movement?"

"I have organized at least two protests and I give speeches. I motivate the crowds to move and sway. I also have participated in political negotiations with the government. I know what Kaliningrad needs and I am making sure that she will get it." He says. Russia and Yelena perk up at his word choice.

"Is there any particular reason why you used 'she' when talking about Kaliningrad?" Russia asks.

"I see Kaliningrad as a place of beauty and of grace." Serezha says. He looks down to Yelena. She was smiling.

"Thank you. You may return to the group." Russia says. Serezha nods and walks back across the room. Russia looks at Yelena.

"So. Who would you pick to run your country, Yelena?" He asks. She answers immediately.

"Serezha. He is perfect." She says. Russia nods and turns towards the group.

"That you for your patience. You may all leave." He says. He unlocks and opens the door. The group starts filing out. As Serezha passes by Russia grabs his shoulder. "Except you. You stay." He says. Serezha looks at Russia curiously but stays silent. The rest of the leaders leave the room and then the building.

There is good news and bad news.

Good news is that once they actually get to the world conference I will update faster.

Bad news, my scanner is STILL not working and I drew a PERFECT picture of Yelena.

There is an actual independence movement for Kaliningrad. In January there was a protest where 10,000 Kaliningradians showed up. I SUPPORT THE INDEPENDENCE OF KALININGRAD!

Also, I pick those weird names for a reason. Anton means 'go into action'. Taras means 'rebel'. Serezha means 'respected'. If you haven't looked it up already Yelena means 'shining light'.
